[[Invasion of Kurandia]] - '''2021-07-17''' - The aftermath of the [[2021 South Staynish independence referendum]] causes party-political chaos in [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. [[Kurandia|Kurandian]] prime minister '''[[Hanuketa Aruletsz]]''' has drafted a letter to join the [[Pact of Rosaheim]], causing in-fighting among [[Category:Political parties#Functional Constituencies (99/161)|functional constituency MPs]] which exposes left-vs-liberal divisions in the [[Kurandian Chamber of Delegates#Factions|Constitutionalist]] coalition. This leads to a vote of no confidence against '''[[Hanuketa Aruletsz|Aruletsz]]'''. The idea that these nations' leaderships would therefore be distracted, combined with underestimating the extent of [[Eyjaria|Eyjarian]] and [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] willingness to get involved (since [[Kurandia]] will not be joining the Pact of Rosaheim) leads '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' to declare war on [[Kurandia]].
'''2021-07-18''' - It quickly becomes obvious that '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' has misjudged the situation. The Pact of Rosaheim immediately votes to intervene. [[Eyjaria|Eyjarian]] and [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] warships enter the Livets Strait to intercept Kyrlot transport vessels. Several platoons of troops have already landed on the eastern coast of [[Kurandia]]; [[Norgsveldet]] and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] send troops to repel the invasion; the MBE military bases in [[Kurandia]] begin mobilising. [[Eyjaria|Eyjarian]] forces capture Boreyjr Island in a world-record twenty minutes after the forty-seven KAF troops stationed there mistake nearby ferries for many platoons of backup, and surrender. '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' discovers that the Pact of Rosaheim has stepped in to defend [[Kurandia]] after being informed that Boreyjr Island has been lost.

'''2021-08-21''' - The Security Council of the [[International Forum]] votes to financially support [[The Opposition]].
'''2021-08-22''' - Realising he's deeply underestimated the impact of the general strike, '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' arranges a ceasefire with the Pact of Rosaheim (although the MBE refuses) on the basis that Kyrloth cedes Boreyjr Island to Eyjaria. Although some transport vessels are sunk by Morstaybishlian warships, the majority of the Kurandia invasion force manages to return to mainland Kyrloth. Although protests and soup kitchens are generally broken up by the army, police, and security contractors, the scale of the strike sends the Kyrlot economy into a tailspin.
'''2021-09-01''' - The [[2021 Kyrloth general strike|general strike]] comes to an end (although further wildcat strikes are widespread). In an attempt to stop further strikes,'''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' legislates for a strict curfew and restrictions on gathering in large numbers.
'''2021-09-15''' - [[The Opposition]] Simultaneously, their Black Flag safehouse on Zlovskavaar Island is discovered and raided by police forces; several members including '''Hughny''' are arrested and sent to the barracks on the south-western tip of the island, where he is tortured and interrogated for more information on the group. '''Is'Vaara''' organises a protest for the following day and warns attendees they may need to defend themselves.
'''2021-09-16''' - The protest takes place. A small number of police officers who attempted to pre-emptively secure the square get surrounded and surrender their arms. Simultaneously, a group of freedom fighters attempt to find and locate '''Hughny'''. Both endeavours soon turn violent with many shots fired. After many hours of fighting, government facilities such as power stations, train depots, and eventually Dar'kana Tower itself are controlled by [[The Opposition|Opposition]] forces. Some elements of the government, who have seen the writing on the wall, surrender control or switch allegiance.
'''2021-09-17''' - At 1.12pm, the [[West Borean Federation]] is declared. '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' and the few higher-ups still loyal to him have boarded a private jet due from The Barracks in southwest Zlovskavaar to Fortryde, [[Nystatiszna]]. After some fighting, the plane is stopped and '''[[Sinter Tass|Tass]]''' is remanded into custody.
