After years of preparing, Sizzle finally decided to launch an intervention against the 'occupation of Sizzlean territory by foreign powers' by declaring war on Utsong. Utsong however was a member of the Anti-Luxuria Coalition, drawing in Yakamoto, Taiwan, and Synora into the war against Sizzle. Sizzle's first offensive was into Utsong while Yakamoto pushed into Yuzhno and Manchuria as bombers rained down explosives above each side. Utsong was quickly overwhelmed by Sizzle once it reached Utsong's infrastructure, forcing them to surrender as Synora set up defences to prevent itself from being invaded. With Sizzle now able to fight back against Yakamoto, Synora suggested trying to bring Lineland into the war due to its recent defeat against Sizzle, as Sizzle seemed to rely on quantity rather than quality when it came to its army. Lineland was successfully convinced to join the war in return for regaining some of its lost land, forcing Sizzle to send its army to hold them back as it tasked a new collaborator regime in Yakamotian Minguo known as the 'Revolutionary Republic of Minguo' to hold the front there, though they did little more than throw propaganda around. Taiwan finally decided to help by invading former Yanhei. Sizzle decided to put its focus against Lineland at the cost of the other fronts due to their instability, forcing Lineland to begin mass conscription. Yakamoto and Taiwan launched major offensives, though they specified this was not to save Lineland, though this offensive would come to a halt as the RRM launched a major uprising backed my indiscriminate missile firings.
Lineland's defeats grew to be too much to handle as the 'Revolutionary Coalition of the Republic' rose up and quickly seized Linasgrad as Dictator Arman Nikolaev fled to Palladia while the regions occupied by Sizzle were reorganized into the 'Socialist Republic of Sibirsk'. Yakamoto contacted the RCR and requested that they join the ALC's war effort, which they accepted as the remnants of the former Linelandic government declared war on the ALC. Angered by yet another country he ended up living in imploding in on itself, a certain Vladimir Alsanov decided to take a stand as he proclaimed the Fourth Kingdom of Lineland. Unfortunately, this was not the beginning as the remnants of the Legionaries appeared to be actively imploding in on themselves as the 'Siberian Republic' and 'Chita Military State' emerged. Yakamoto moved to crush the RRM while the RCR defeated as many of the Linelandic revolts as it could. Yakamoto began conscription while Sizzle dissolved Sibirsk, instead proclaiming the 'Linelandic Socialist Republic', which managed to convince significant portions of the RCR's leftist factions to defect while Vladimir grew confused on why so many of the Linelandic monarchists were 'so weird'. With the socialists so dominant, the RCR and Kingdom made peace by unifying into a constitutional monarchy against the socialists. Yakamoto began invading northern Sizzle under K-Lineland's directions, though it claimed that this was its own decision not Lineland's. The LSR would be quickly overwhelmed by the KoL as Anti-Sizzle groups overthrew their government, though K-Lineland kept having issues with its monarchist supports being very weird which it considered to be a weird cultural difference as it questioned their tendencies and religious devotion to former king Elmo Linasburg. Sizzle rallied its people to hold out in a desperate defence against the invaders as the ALC broke through their defences and began marching towards Beijing after the RRM fell. Yakamoto urged Lineland to be wary of the Elmoists supporting their government, though once they were made aware of the possibility of Abyysky all communications from Lineland were suddenly cut aside from radio signals stating that 'The Holy Order of Abyysky Shall Endure'. Seeking to crush this before it became a problem, Luvakhia demanded Yamalia's submission so it may invade former Lineland, launching an invasion once Yamalia refused despite refugees flooding in from Lineland. Sizzle managed to make a bit of a come back despite its significant defeats, preventing the capture of Beijing as it pushed to the point of restoring the RRM, prompting the ALC to pull back and regroup for another offensive. Luvakhia successfully managed to defeat Yamalia as it prepared to launch an expedition against Abyysky.
As Taiwan and Yakamoto launched their next invasion of Sizzle, Luvakhia finally launched its expedition into Lineland. Luvakhia's expedition saw little results as most areas were simply lawless or abandoned, even Linasgrad, prompting Luvakhia to spread out to explore further. The ALC launched a massive bombing campaign as well as a push to secure the lands south of the Yangtze. The exiled government of the Sizzlean Republic demanded to be given control over Sizzle, which Taiwan refused due to the SR being both an extremist and incompetent as it secretly began forming a new collaborator regime. Soon afterwards, Taiwan officially declared the dissolution of the Sizzlean Republic as all of its members were demoted to be regular Taiwanese citizens as the Provisional Government of Sizzle was formed as its replacement. The SR protested and refused to step down, thus its leaders were executed. The first act of the PGS was to officially declare that the territories of former Kitayato and Meninguo would be handed over to Yakamoto upon the end of the war. Luvakhia finally managed to encounter organized groups in Lineland, uncovering the remnants of the moderate Kingdom of Lineland, the nationalistic Linelandic Black League, and of course the Third Holy Order of Abyysky. The LBL formed a tenuous partnership with Luvakhia for now, though Abyysky's offensive quickly threatened to cut off significant numbers of Luvakhian soldiers, forcing them to try to desperately evacuate to no avail as Luvakhia's armies were cut off not once, but twice, leading to significant casualties as the 're-purification of the northern wastes' began. Half of Luvakhia's army ended up destroyed in its initial defeats, allowing Abyysky to push into occupied Yamalia. After a swift offensive, all of Yamalia and Luvakhia were subjugated by Abyysky, who left the greater Asian war.
Taiwan expanded its collaborator regimes as the Provisional Government of Utsong was formed, while much of south eastern Sizzle was reorganized into the Fujian Military Governorate under direct Taiwanese control as their armies marched on Xining. All of a sudden, Sizzlean marines landed on Yakamoto's home islands. Sizzle abandoned Utsong at this point, allowing the previous government to rise once more, though they would not last long as the Taiwanese-backed Provisional Government quickly crushed them. Yakamoto's mainland garrisons rushed to respond to the Sizzlean invasion, though most of their army in mainland Asia also had to be pulled back as Taiwan took over handling the front. Despite Yakamoto being focused on wiping out enemy forces off its mainland, Taiwan continued to see success against Sizzle until Yakamoto defeated its invaders, allowing it to launch a new offensive against the RRM. With Sizzle on its last legs after Beijing was encircled, Sizzle sent a final demand of surrender to its enemies, launching nukes onto Sapporo and Taipei once this was refused. Taiwan was quite justifiably pissed about this, and as its army was intact it launched a final offensive against the remnants of Sizzle, soon forcing it to surrender as the Sizzlean government was taken out to sea and drowned, with only the 'Realm of Uriankhai' which had revolted towards the end of the war managing to avoid destruction.
As the war came to a close, the Provisional Governments of Sizzle and Utsong gained full control over the countries they claimed to rule, while Uriankhai's independence was recognized. The northern portions of Sizzle were handed over to Yakamoto, who reorganized them into the protectorates of Kitayato and Meninguo, while the west of Sizzle became effectively independent as the nominally Sizzlean yet self-governing 'Uighurstan Autonomy' was formed.
