==Pre-war Events==
The unpopularity of [[Victor Victrovavich]] and his administration's policies led to his electoral loss in 1980 to Ivan Strovani. Though members of the same party, the Zedakhli placed their support with Strovani for his more populist outlook on government, and subsequently became Chancellor. Initially promoted as a vehicle for structural change, especially in regards to reversing many of the governmental cessions made to re-integrate Baykalia after the Posolic Wars (known as the Deal of 1816), it became evident by 1984 that Strovani had no intention to implement any changes to the government. His administration was made up of individuals who had served under Victrovavich, which only further angered much of Salovia's Lovelian and Khermali populations.
===Novugdidi Crisis===
The anger and frustration felt by the southern Salovian peoples culminated with the [[Novugdidi Hostage Crisis]] of 1984, wherein a group of armed militants captured a number of important governmental buildings located in the city of Novugdidi and held the inhabitants hostage, demanding that Chancellor Strovani either "step down and let the people decide their own fate, or face judgement by the people," which was interpreted by the Salovian government as a death threat to the Chancellor. As such, a covert operation was initiated to eliminate the belligerents and rescue the hostages, among them being the Mayor of Novugdidi and business mogul Yuri Posol and his eleven-year-old son Remis. The belligerents were successfully eliminated, but at a severe political cost. The killing of the abductors by the Salovian government had only fueled a series of riots that coalesced into a multi-regional uprising.
