After expanding eastwards during the Utsongan Invasion of Xinan, Utsong suddenly demanded the subjugation of Nakmai into its new empire, prompting Nakmai to begin trying to delay the invasion by offering tribute and distracting them as it prepared evacuations for the probable genocide coming. Nakmai's people eventually managed to convince Bei Pham not to be completely cowardly, prompting them not to evacuate everyone too Nakmai as many stayed behind to fight the coming invaders. As Nakmai failed to surrender without a fight, Utsong's army marched into Nakmai. Utsong initially found the areas it entered to be largely abandoned, prompting Utsong to spread out as it heard strange noises from the forests. Once Utsong reached Phnom Penh nakmaian soldiers began to rush out from the woods and attack their invaders in a ambush, leading to Utsong's mainly cavlary-based army scattering as they were forced to abandon their horses to flee into the dense forests. Utsong began trying to rebuild its position as fast as possible as chinese insurgents within its lands proclaimed the 'Second Zhou'. Utsong's army was devastated by traps and ambushes, forcing significant portions of it to withdraw from Nakmai in a weakened state to fight off the Second Zhou. Nakmai tried making a makeshift dam on the Mekong to cut off Utsong's supply network which relied on river boats.
Utsong crushed the Zhou revolt and began making moves in Nakmai again, employing fires to clear barriers and burn away at possible enemy positions. Utsong's armies proved to be much slower and less maneuvreable than Nakmai's, allowing them to keep fighting against the numerically superior enemy. Despite Utsong continuing its push down the coastline, Utsong's army invading from the Mekong was finally destroyed and forced to flee. Disease ravaged Utsong's lines, which when combined with their difficulties in manoeuvring around the front lines. Utsong continued its attacks despite its losses, leading to Poavak becoming concerned of a rival, prompting them to later join the war on Nakmai's side. Poavak occupied much of the unclaimed areas of southeast Asia as it marched inwards on a quest to capture a Utsongan fort at the city of Changri'La in order to enforce peace terms, while Nakmai largely served as defence. Utsong quickly took notice of the Poavakian/Nakmaian breakthrough along the Mekong. The Battle of Changri'La thus began as Poavakian and Nakmaian forces invaded the city, where Nakmai captured the east as Poavak rushed for the city centre. This battle quickly devolved into being particularly deadly as weapons such as napalm and gas were commonplace as both side's armies lead devastating attacks against one another, leading to significant casualties especially for Nakmai. After a long battle, Utsong reluctantly retreated. Utsong began to feel desperate as it unsuccessfully tried to convince Nakmai to switch sides, which was ignored as Poavakian and Nakmaian forces spread throughout Utsong, making use of rivers to seize significant territories after many Utsongans were encircled and captured. Nakmai and Poavak continued their offensive northwards, soon capturing most of the territories Utsong had seized in Xinan. Utsong began offering a white peace, which was rejected.
After rebuilding its army, Utsong launched a renewed offensive, quickly retaking all lands north of the Yangtze, threatening its enemies to push further. As Nakmai and Poavak remained defiant and internal resistance remained under control, Utsong continued its offensive and crossed the Yangtze. Poavak decided to attack Utsongan Nilastan in order to draw away Utsongan forces while Nakmai was tasked with a fighting retreat. Nakmai tried to convince Utsong to stop and just take unclaimed land, which it refused as it claimed it needed an easily accessible pacific port to pursue its goals of world conquest. As Utsong endured several defeats in the Nilastan front as most of the regions coastlines had fallen to Poavak, it began feigning to the international community that it was a victim of human rights violations, which was quickly disproven as Utsong itself had been committing many. Poavak occupying much of Nilastan allowed the Ceylonese Pirates to retake Sri Lanka before Poavak retook the island. Utsong's defeats in Nilastan lead to the region's peasentry revolting and breaking away from Utsongan rule as the Free State of Nilastan was proclaimed, only for this state to be invaded and occupied by Poavak. Angered by Prithvi Khan's genocidal conquests, the Theocrats in Lhasa rose up in rebellion against the regime and proclaimed the Theocracy of Utsong, pushing outwards to crush their oppressors. As his support base collapsed, Prithvi Khan escaped abroad on a boat in Shanghai as his country fell to the Theocrats.
Poavak compelled Nakmai to continue the war and destroy Utsong for its attacks on its country, which it refused as Utsong's new rulers were pacifistic. Poavak kept trying to convince Nakmai until it deemed that Nakmai was just as weak of a link as Utsong was, prompting it to betray Nakmai and attack it instead. Nakmai and the Utsongan Theocrats promptly formed a new alliance against Poavak, being joined by Taiwan and the Nilastani revolts. Poavak saw mixed success at the starts as all its former enemies AND allies now stood against it, though it did mnage to retain a stalemate. Nakmai instructed Nilastan to pursue ambush tactics, while Taiwan organized the coalition to prepare for an all out attack on Makassar in an attempt to cause Poavak to collapse in on itself. The attack on Makassar enraged Poavak as it began a napalm bombing campaign on its enemies, which only intensified as Makassar fell as the Poavakian government wasn't there. The coalition asked for international aid and advise, leading to Sipedro giving poor advice as it told them to simply 'rush the enemy', while Nopedro suggested using Dragons. Nilastan was about to claim they had none, until Utsong claimed it did in fact have a species of Dragons living in its territory, though they were in a region occupied by Poavak. Utsong thus resorted to the Flying Bisons found in its eastern areas. The Coalition's members, which now included Alinya and Yamalia, began rapid conscription in order to outnumber the enemy. Now with a larger army and powerful mounts, the Coalition began a great offensive southwards, soon fully kicking Poavak out of mainland asia. Taiwan thus organized a naval invasion all over Poavak's coastline, which pushed Poavak past its limits as it unleashed its nuclear arsenal and the Borneo Laser Array against it enemies, causing devastating damage across Asia as it bombed out all it could. As the nations of the world held their breath and prepared for intervention, Nilastan revealed it had developed nuclear weapons as it bombed the Borneo Array, shutting down the most devastating weapon Poavak had. Nuclear War between Poavak and Nilastan ensued until Tritonia, Asophania, and Cotunauinia used their own Laser Towers to block any further nuclear strikes in order to avoid casualties. With Poavak left effectively defenceless, the Coalition launched one final offensive into the war-torn Poavak which lead to its capitulation and the capture of Emperor Raja Laut. Nilastan annexed the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mentawai Islands, and Banyak Islands as Poavak's sole territorial concessions.
Poavakian Elections
After Poavak was left in ruins and without leadership, the Anti-Imperial Coalition and international mediators decided to organize elections in the country in order to decide their future leaders. 3 parties gained enough support to run, the Poavakian Imperial Party, Communist Party of Poavak, and Liberal Democratic Party of Poavak. The first round of the vote left a fairly equal split between the CPP and LDPP, leading to a run-off election which was eventually run by the CPP. Amir Hoesin was thus sworn in as the first president of the People's Republic of Poavak. Poavak thus began pursued rapid redistribution and nationalization programs, leading to it joining the Aundzer Alliance.
