Floppa City established the 'Swagonian Anarchist Restoration Council', an organization dedicated to restoring anarchism in Swagonia, within its occupation zone in Tierra Oeste. Tierra Flopeste called this invalid while Polskan Intelligence agents began targeting the SARC with infiltrations and bombing runs, angering Floppa City as clashes between Bingustan and Bongustan were ongoing, leading to significant tensions. Polsk sent a battleship onto a power projection cruise, which Floppa City decided to block by closing off the Jun-Yanz Confluence with its river boats, prompting Polsk's ship to ram them which lead into a battle as Floppa City's ships fired assuming attack before being sunk by the much larger Polskan ship. Polsk declared war over this and began bombing Floppa City, who fired the river-ship crews and explained that it did not order the attack, making Polsk withdraw its declaration of war. Some skirmishes began happening between Floppa City and Flop Cong after this, with Floppa City's newly improved aarmy dealing a major defeat to a Flop Cong incursion. As revenge for this defeat, Flop Cong fired artillery into Floppa City, prompting them to begin firing back and sink Flop Cong's coast guard, prompting Flop Cong to bomb them which was enough to prompt Floppa City to declare war, which prompted Polsk to declare war on Floppa City to defend its ally.
Floppa City took the initial advantage while Poolsk's army was in transit, allowing them to push Flop Cong out of the concessions it gained in the Second Swagonian War relatively quickly. Once Polsk arrived, it bombarded Floppa City as FC itself fired artillery against Polskan ships and airbases as the frontlines devolved into not much more than continuous explosions. Taking advantage of Floppa City's 'disadvantageous' position, Tierra Flopeste declared war on them as well. With the war not progressing much, Polsk landed paratroopers into Floppa City to try to subdue them, moving their forces around with much better efficiency than their enemies to maintain an advantage. The UFR didn't see Flop Cong's attacks as wrong, allowing Polsk to convince both them and Flopskadi to come help against Floppa City as to avoid protests in Polsk over yet another war in the region. Polsk began deploying amphibious tanks into Floppa City's swampy terrain while the UFR began making its way over thru the outback.
The war spread to Sakalarya as Googalia blocked the UFR's supply lines over the UFR's alliance with Zabloing, who was thus also forced into the war. Polsk largely uninvolved itself as it grew terrified of the recent Kanaran-Jakarian War, fearing that Kanar was out for revenge which lead to them signing a cease fire. Soggacire and Sogga Island discussed their opinions about William III Robertson for some reason, which annoyed Flopskadi until they convinced the two to help them due to the Soggas not being segregated in Flopskadi. Despite no longer being at war with then, Floppa City used its conflict with Polsk to convince Swagonia (which had fallen under the rule of the December 29th Movement), Bongustan and Bingland to join its side. Bingustan tried to convince Polsk to collaborate with it in a conflict against Bongustan and Bingland, which Polsk refused as it cut all ties with either side to avoid being dragged into more wars while it focused on internal development. Plompystan joined to help Flopskadi due to them not segregating Plompies. Flopskadi wished to align Jun-Swagoland to join their side, but because Jun-Swagoland would probably hate them they asked Soggacire to do it instead, which failed as Jun-Swagoland simply didn't want to and Polsk told them not to regardless. Instead, Flopskadi recruited Imperial Swagonia to their side with promises of territorial gains in Ciudad Gris and Bingterra, soon being joined by Bingustan as well.
Jun-Swagoland questioned why all of this was even happening, prompting Polsk to push for a diplomatic solution or it would become violent, and thus the Junlado Conference was held to de-escalate. Googalia and Zabloing couldn't agree on anything, the UFR tried to convince the others to de-recognize 'Ard Algharb, Bingustan and Bongustan argued about their families, Jun-Swagoland proposed border changes but refused demands from Soggacire to annex Suscir, Bingustan demanded control over Bongustan, Flopskadi backed all of Imperial Swagonia's ambitions, others condemned Flopskadi's segregation policies, Flop Cong failed to de-escalate, Jun-Swagoland and Imperial Swagonia refused to concede to one another, Tierra Flopeste summoned 'Ard Algharb who immediately began escalating by joining the war against Floppa City, thus Jun-Swagoland came to the conclusion that the conference achieved nothing. Floppa City then recruited Konbatscir against 'Ard Algharb despite Bingland's wishes to de-escalate. Tired of this mess, Jun-Swagoland joined the war against both sides alongside Bingland due to their shared views, which lead to Imperial Swagonia and its allies invading Jun-Swagoland. Each faction began pushing in all directions as Floppa City liberated its south as Jun-Swagoland was attacked on all angles while propaganda leaflets and insurgencies sprung up everywhere. Angered by Flopskadi's actions, the 'Racial Districts' rose up in revolution, with Khangaet-Bingustan and Swagia-Khangleu siding with Floppa City while Svahkaonie sided with Jun-Swagoland, leading to Jun-Swagoland launching an offensive into the region before it got distracted by having to stop Plompystan and Imperial Swagonia from cutting off Bingland. Bingland failed to cause significant distractions in Konbatscir while Khangaet-Bingustan switched sides to Jun-Swagoland. Jun-Swagoland attempted to rectify the cutting of supply lines by invading into Zelenaya Dolina, though they were losing elsewhere as Swagonia and Plompystan advanced quite quickly despite Flopskadi being overwhelmed. Bingland attempted to solve the crisis by rushing towards Plompystan's capital of Ooglaboo, where they became terrified of the suicide prevention administrative tower. To the east, 'Ard Algharb surprisingly switched sides to Jun-Swagoland's, betraying Tierra Flopeste.
Polsk finally got its act together after a period of demilitarization as it quickly mobilized, joining Bingland and Jun-Swagonia's faction as well as dragging the UFR, Zabloing and Flop Cong with them at the cost of kicking out 'Ard Algharb, who failed at trying to send a pipe-bomb to Polsk so they were sent a nuke in a package in response which they managed to avoid detonating. Polsk began shelling Bingustan and bombarding Floppa City with napalm while Flopskadi offered peace in return for handing over Svahkaonie and Swagia-Khangleu to Jun-Swagoland while Khangaet-Bingustan went to Bingland. As Polsk invaded random enemy nations haphazardly (with its primary focus on invading 'Ard Algharb), Sogga Island and Soggacire unified into the Sogga Union. Swagonia proper moved onto the Jun River to the point of threatening the Jun-Swagolandish capital of Junlado, forcing Polsk to pull forces away from an ongoing attack in Ciudad Gris to try to stop them. The Sogga Union switched sides to Swagonia's, seeing them as more competent. Bingustan at this point made its move against Bongustan by invading across the Yanz, while to the east Polsk attempted to reconnect Bingland and Jun-Swagoland during Bingland's summer offensive while Konbatscir began liberating itself. Polsk pulled out of Ciudad Gris completely as it moved to help push back the spearhead towards Junlado. Polsk began pushing towards and bombing Zelenaya Dolina while Imperial Swagonia itself began landing on Bongustan's coasts, who was already dealing with Bingustan's advances as they declared the 'integration' oof their occupied lands. Bingland saw progress in the battle of Ooglaboo, occupying the capital building before seizing the rest of the city. Swagonia attempted to launch a counter-offensive against Polsk's Jun offensive while Sogga Union sent an expedition into the northwest outback which lead to a discovery that the region was inhospitable for Binguses. Polsk and Bangustan deployed the 'Polsk-Bangustan Laser Array' which was fired oonto Swagonia and Sogga Union while Imperial Swagonia cautiously pushed west. Googalia faced issues in pushing back against the significantly stronger UFR and Zabloing forces despite Swagonia's instructions. Polsk kept blasting its array around, hitting Googalia and then the Zelenaya Dolina Geothermal Plant which was in Jun-Swagoland due to wrong directions, allowing Imperial Swagonia to capture the building while it struck down two Sogga 'civilian' planes headed directly for the tallest buildings in New Warsaw instead, leading to some controversy. Polsk attacked into Sogga Union while the Soggas themselves moved onto the outback. As Polsk kept failing to capture Zelenaya Dolina in its attempt to reconnect Bingland and Jun-Swagoland, Bingland suggested an offensive thru Plompystan instead, leading to Plompystan being overwhelmed. Floppa City launched an offensive into Tierra Flopeste while Polskan paratroopers captured the Altilai International Airport so it could be used for bombing. To the far west, Bingustan launched a massive offensive into Bongustan which lead to the battle for Sphynxopolis. Polsk had to cycle its reactors and activate coal plants to keep the Laser Array active, scorching both sides fighting in Bongustan, halting movement there before Bingustan pulled in reserves while Polsk fired on Ciudad Gris' ports. Despite laser fire, Bingustan managed to capture Sphynxopolis and force Bongustan's army and government to relocate to its final holdout at Port Orieneido, where it was allowed to continue existing after it surrendered. Polsk and Bingland launched a major offensive into Plompystan before Bingustan could do anything after its 'distraction' was over, leading to Plompystan turning to assymetric warfare via the 'Plom Cong'.
Polsk continued trying to connect Bingland and Jun-Swagoland by pushing thru Plompystan while lasers tried to stop Soggan advances. Bingustan launched an offensive in an attempt to slow the fall of Plompystan, which Bingland and the lasers moved to stop. Being completely overwhelmed, Plompystan aside from the Plom Cong surrendered, leading to Polsk dictating that the nation would be partitioned between Jun-Swagoland and Bingland. Bingland refused and claimed it would only seize border territories and foorm a collaborator regime instead. Fighting continued near Zelenaya Dolina and the Jun as both Swagonias tried to advance against Jun-Swagoland, leading to Polsk trying to cut off Swagonia and Sogga Island (who was trying to support the SARC rebels) as bombs rained down from ahead. Bingland officially formalized the Plompy Federation at this point as well, prompting Jun-Swagoland to form the 'State of Yanz-Swagoland' in its section. Polsk called in UFR aid against Bingustan, convincing them to prepare an operation. After a side-switching proposal sent to 'Ard Algharb, the Left Bloc and Conservative Bloc began to negotiate a united front against the Pragmatists, with each member eventually agreeing. Polsk put their full focus on splitting Swagonia and Sogga Union while their enemies pushed for the Altilai Airport and Jun River, which Polsk tried to stop with lasers and reserve troops, while Bingland focused on Bingustan and Jun-Swagoland focused on Imperial Swagonia and 'Ard Algharb. Polsk sent equipment to UFR and Zabloing to help against Googalia while Jun-Swagoland fortified its positions and Bingland beat Bingustan in a couple battles which allowed it to dig in. A revolt against both-sides occurred in Tierra Flopeste Sogga Union put its full focus on pushing west, so Polsk tried to bait them into distraction while it attacked their capital of Sogschela. Once the UFR finally arrived to fight Bingustan, it found that Bingustan had made a sneak attack into them at the same time leading to simultaneous offensives while Bangustan attacked Reagruparse. A bombing occurred in Vitoriflop-Flopsteiz, capital of Flopskadi, which was blamed on Jun-Swagoland for a time until it was revealed that Al Floppaeda, a group which had seized Tierra Oeste, was responsible which made Flopskadi become a co-belligerent of Jun-Swagoland. Polsk kept attacking into Sogga Union while deploying counter-insurgents to deal with SARC and Al Floppaeda. Sogga Union, Swagonia, and 'Ard Algharb went on counter-offensives (though the one in Sogga Island was quite brief before it turned around again) while Imperial Swagonia and Bingustan pushed into UFR, making the UFR withdraw from Bingland. Sogga Island began moving onto the Yanz while Jun-Swagoland and Sogga Island deployed paratroopers into Flopskadi to help deal with the increasingly large Floppaeda insurgency.
Elections were help in Bingland despite the war, concluding in a victory for Sproingus and his new far-right Action Party. All other political parties were dismantled and the Plompy Federation was annexed as the new 'Empire of Bingland' rose in its place. Bingland demanded control over western Bingus-inhabited regions of Jun-Swagonia, leading to Jun-Swagoland switching sides which prompted a Binglandish invasion. Swagonia moved to stop Bingland by invading its coastline while Imperial Swagonia attacked south from Zelenaya Dolina. Jun-Swagoland didn't want to be at war with Polsk, but Polsk didn't care and sent their entire army against Jun-Swagoland, leading to Yanz-Swagooland collapsing as Plompystan was restored in the region. Encircled Polskan forces initially retreated out of fear before counter-attacking, while diplomatically Polsk grew suspicious of Bingland. As the leaders of the banned parties grew resentful in Bingland, Polsk organized them to rise up in rebellion against Sproingus, starting with Leon Bingsky's supporters marching on Bingbong. The Binglandish military moved to crush the revolt, but they were outmaneuvred as the revolt seized the capital building which forced Sproingus to flee, leading to the armed forces seizing control in a coup. The chaos of this coup lead to Plompystan breaking free again while the Junta retreated from the other countries as quick as it could while it captured Bingbong, with this chaos allowing Bingterra to secede. Sproingus' remnants then publicly allied themselves with Al Floppaeda, leading to massive revolts throughout Bingland as all major opposition leaders established their own local governments in a tenuous peace with one another such as the Bingland Worker's Republic, Free Bingus Republic, Second Republic of Bingland, and United States of Bingland, leading to Sproingus declaring the 'National Bingstaat'. Polsk and the UFR decided to move in and try to establish a TDP mandate, antagonizing the Binglandish rebels onto a new side of the war. The Junta tried to acquire Polskan recognition, but failed as Polsk was dedicated to complete reconstruction as its paratroopers attempted an attack in Bingbong while Bingterra launched a major offensive against the Junta, leading to the formation of the Bingterra-aligned 'Free Port of Bingadan' in a navy mutiny, which the Junta failed to stop. Polsk and Flopskadi began collaborating against Floppaeda just before Polsk and the UFR launched the 'great offensive', while Khangaet-Bingustan joined Bingustan as Bingland didn't exist anymore. The Bingbong Junta joined up with the United Front despite Polsk's claims that its relentless offensive was for the good of its enemies. Googalia capitulated, allowing UFR to begin funding supply routes into Flop Cong while Polsk advanced into Jun-Swagoland.
The Bingland splinters offered peace with Polsk by joining their side in return for support, which Polsk hesitantly agreed to if it could oversee them, leading to the 'Bingaterinburg Agreement' which restored the old constitution, the 'Electoral Agreement' where each warlord coordinated an election, the 'Right Wing Agreement' which banned far-right politicians like Sproingus, and the 'Second Electoral Agreement' in which the election was agreed to be simultaneous and under Polskan supervision. Bin Gus gained 35% of the vote, Buff Pepper gained 23%, Bingsky gained 22%, and Joe Bingus gained 20% which lead to Bin Gus becoming the president of the Third Republic of Bingland. Polsk pushed desperately into Jun-Swagoland while Swagonia tried to push north towards Sogga Union. Bangustan went to support Bingland while Polsk reached the Jun-Swagolandish capital of Junlado alongside launching attacks against Floppaeda safehouses. Sogga Island tried to naval invade Altilai Airport which prompted Swagonia to push north as lasers fired onto them. Swagonia sent divisions to Ciudad Gris to prepare for another operation which allowed Polsk to advance once more while Floppa City defeated Floppaeda forces in its territory. The battle for the airport grew increasingly chaotic as each side pushed with their full force. Fighting broke out between Bingland and Bingterra as Bingland desperately needed a coastline for supplies. Swagonia launched 5 massive naval invasions on the caosts of Jun-Swagoland and Sogga Union, with 2 of them being prevented by Polsk before landing while the others succeeded, which Polsk tried to slow with mines as they became increasingly violent while a small Polskan force tried to attack Ciudad Gris. Polsk shelled the naval invasions and landed paratroopers into them.
Fighting continued with Bingustan intervening against the Bingstaat while fighting in the east Between Swagonia/Jun-Swagoland and Polsk continued, though int he west a major change was that Bingterra sided with the United Front due to the Binglandish attacks. Polsk offered unconditional surrender and occupation to Sogga Island, who refused. A major battle between Bingland and the Bingbong Junta caused the two's fronts to stall, while to the southeast Bingland managed to defeat and conquer Bingadan. Polsk prepared to invade Sogschela with tanks, missiles, and paratroopers while Sogga Union prepared a more traditional 'siege'. Bingbong and Bingland argued over how re-democratization and post-war diplomacy would be achieved, which Polsk tried to help with by encouraging dialogue before being reminded that Bingbong was fervently opposed to the 'TDP Mandate' Plan. The Swagonian naval invasions were defeated thanks to better Polskan bunkers and counter-naval-invasions. Polsk bombed Bingbong, causing significant damage which Bingland celebrated. Swagonia tried to fund paramilitants in Polsk, but failed as Polsk blocked suspicious transactions made via PayFlop. Bingustan managed to defeat the Bingstaat at this point, forcing Sproingus and his loyalist armies to flee into the outback. Swagonia tried to push north while Polskan High-Orbital Weapons Platforms struck planes. The Sogga Union began evacuating to Ciudad Gris while Bingland gathered a large Polskan forces and organized them into a joint offensive into Imperial Swagonia, who unsuccessfully tried paradropping into its allies and neutral countries out of confusion. Many civilians were evacuated out of Floppaeda territory to Floppa City, which Polsk stopped by redirecting them to Polsk instead which caused a major naval/air battle in the Yanz River. Floppaeda impaled 500 Polskan soldiers as an intimidation tactic, which both sides found disturbing. Swagonia unsuccessfully tried to set off a pipebomb in Ingalina, leading to the perpetrator being executed and Polsk shelling Ciudad Gris. With Jun-Swagoland so distracted, Flopskadi (who was already a co-belligerent) officially aligned itself with Polsk as it launched an invasion against Jun-Swagoland, only for Polsk to invade Flopskadi instead due to their apartheid policies (despite Flop Cong's pleas) which made them switch sides over to Jun-Swagoland while Swagonia attacked Flop Cong.
Polsk warned its allies that this last push better count or its government could likely collapse due to internal opposition, though during this last offensive in Bingland Sogga Union took the chance to try to push back which lead to Polsk's government collapsing as anarchy overtook the streets, leading to the military being withdrawn from Orientalis to deal with the crisis as two presidents were successively assassinated by a group calling themselves 'Floppa Polsk', while terrorists seized the nuclear arsenal. A major revolt in Flopskadi by 'Anti-Apartheid Partisans' lead to the rise of the Second Flopskadi Garrison, while remaining Floppsy Flopper Jr. loyalists fortified themselves in Vitoriflop-Flopsteiz while the rest of the country fractured into warlordism. With Polsk gone, UFR and its remaining allies failed to keep the front in eastern Altilai stable as Jun-Swagoland, Swagonia, and Sogga Union advanced rapidly against the retreating enemy. Bingland attempted to launch one final offensive against the enemy until they ran out of supplies just before they reached Bingbong city, allowing the United Front to push them back to the point of collapse as the 4 factions making up the Binglandish government separated once more, leading to the remnants of Bingland collapsing into anarchic chaos, allowing the Junta to seize control as the Fourth Republic of Bingland.
With the war clearly in the United Front's favour, a peace treaty was drafted;
- White Peace was signed with the UFR.
- Zabloing was to withdraw from Googalia.
- Flop Cong and Floppa City agreed to a cease fire.
- The (1st) Flopskadi Garrison was dissolved and incorporated into the Second Garrison.
- 'East Bingustan' was annexed into the Bingbong Junta.
- Bingterra annexed Bingadan.
As the final phase of conflict, the United Front was tasked with an invasion of Al Floppaeda and Flopskadi Warlord territories to restore stability. Paratroopers landed in occupied territory as offensives inwards began on all fronts while blockades were set up to prevent escape. Angered by their occupies, 'Bin Flopden' was assassinated as angry anarchic mobs marched on the streets to destroy the remnants of Floppaeda, leading to the restoration of Tierra Flopeste as a anarchic kleptocracy. In Polsk, some semblance of stability returned as the local Sarpian Cat minority seized power and declared the 'Floppapolsk Republic' under Anatoly Flopski, who ordered Humans into forced labour camps.
