Third Suvani War

The Third Suvani War, formerly referred to as the Suvan Civil War, is an ongoing conflict in Western Yasteria surrounding the successor states of the Suvani Empire. Fighting began following the execution of the Prime Minister of Lower Suvania, Ukhnaagiin Khulan, after he made an attempt on the Khan of Lower Suvania's life in the Tugrikhota Palace. Groups such as the Army of Progress and the Suvani Socialist Republic escalated the severity of fighting when both began to work together, gaining footholds within Lower Suvania with the goal of taking advantage of the instability to seize territories for themselves. This has led to the war being dominated by three factions.

This includes the Elven State of Suvania (ESS) led by the son of Prime Minister Khulan and the majority of what was the civilian government of Lower Suvania before the War, who are supported by the Dagagchid (Codexian: 'Followers'), a newly formed militant group of Radical Ayalists on both the Theocratic Socialist Left, as well as the Conservative Fundamentalist Right. Dagagchid garnered some limited support for Alva as the only other majority Ayalist state, with Alvan Volunteers comprising a not insignificant amount of forces .

Their main internal opposition is the New Khanate of Suvania (NKS), a broad coalition of Royalists, Conservatives, Liberals and Communist-Opposed Socialists brought together under Royalistic Populism, Species equality and promises from the Khan for a true Representitive Democracy to be created following the civil war using the Norgsveltian model. They have been nominally assisted by some members of the NCEF, with Vistari Volunteers assisting in the war effort, as well as alleged non-combat support from the Western Provinces. This has also allowed cooperation between the NKS and the forces sent to assure security on the borders, with an infromal agreement that no border forces will fire upon NKS troops so long as the border is respected/.

The third major faction within the war is Upper Suvania and their allies, who launched an invasion into Lower Suvania on Febuary 5th, 2021. Working alongside the Army of Progress (AOP), they aim to reunite Suvania through force, forming a coalition of Communists, Socialists and Secularists to oppose both the ESS and NKS. For their part, the AoP launched military operations in and around the province of Tsaizal. capturing large amounts of territory under the declaration of the Progressive State of Tsaizal, claiming themselves as an Independent Nation allied to Upper Suvania.
