Ortilia began reporting that the Yetian navy had been sinking every ship that approached or left its country, freaking out Moesia and the Confederacy as it seemed that the Fifth Yetian-Tritonian War in fact had not crippled the Yetian army as it escalated its ship raids to shelling of Ortilia's coastline. Moesia pushed for an intervention against Yetia to defend Ortilia as clearly they were doing this as the eastern european states were under Yetian protection, which Bohemia saw as a moral good yet wasn't sure if it was worth the risk while Najova opted to wait for the Confederacy's opinion, prompting the Confederacy to express that attacking Yetia while it was vulnerable wasn't exactly a good look, yet it regardless agreed to officially form the 'Confederate Alliance' to prevent further aggression via a front of collective defence. Many nations signed up to join the alliance such as England, Cotunauinia-Luvuria, Denasola, Scotland, Ireland, Turkestan, Wales, Ortilia, Jeriya, Moesia, Najova, Bohemia, Aparty, Almadina, Corestias, Ellaria, and Alyphia joined, with Asophania and Cotunauinia-Luvuria even moving towards eventual integration into the Confederacy. Yetia didn't care about the threat as it declared war on Ortilia regardless, leading to the Confederate Alliance joining the war against Yetia.
Yetia started off by landing in Algiers and Fez while the Confederacy and its allies mobilized as quickly as they could, deciding to launch their offensive into Yetia once Ortillia fell to Yetian forces. Yetia spread propaganda around the world that the Confederacy had been committing warcrimes in its Niederland offensives, prompting Lineland to remark how the war was interesting, though they would clarify they didn't care about the war-crime accusations as they had done many worse things. Lineland explained it had no quarrel with the Confederacy, instead it saw Sizzle's membership in the alliance as a threat to its own sphere of influence due to the two's ongoing tensions, thus despite the Confederacy's pressure it refused to back down as it threatened to attack Sizzle, not out of exploiting vulnerability or distraction, but rather seeing their participation in the conflict as an overreach which could not go unnoticed with the previous treaty-violations between Lineland and Sizzle (with Sizzle breaking away from its treaty-obligations agreed to in the Third Great Asian War a few decades prior) and Turkestan breaking away from Lineland's sphere over to Tritonia's as enough to justify war. Turkestan explained its changed loyalties as mere pragmatism as it wished to retake New Sizzle, prompting the eccentric ultranationalist regime in New Sizzle to start yelling at Turkestan over its 'insolence', prompting Rome to realise that Yetia falling back may be a ploy to make them appear too weak to hold on alone in order to convince other states to involve themselves, which New Sizzle confirmed as true by declaring war on Turkestan despite Turkestan not wanting war. Lineland was 'encouraged' to tell New Sizzle to back off but they weren't really enthusiastic enough to get anything done by doing so, leading to New Sizzle only recruiting more allies in Sozzle which lead to even further disputes which got worse once New Sizzle recruited the Xiang Remnants, using this alliance to convince Uighurstan to aid them as they wouldn't have to deal with insurgents any longer. The Confederacy told the combatants of both sides on the eastern front to do their own war as they didn't care to defend them if they could just bring in support from Theia, but this was ignored as Lineland intervened to protect its sphere, though it did sign a cease fire with the Confederacy regardless. Yetia slowly began to push back agains tthe enbemy as it resumed its propaganda campaign by trying to inspire the Confederacy to attack Lineland, prompting Mylonagrad to freak out and explain to Lineland desperately that it wasn't their viewpoint and was instead propaganda, which Lineland didn't really care about as it had a informal 'non aggression alliance' with Yetia which didn't entail cooperation against the Confederacy for now, which regardless freaked out the Confederacy as it ramped up its anti-propaganda efforts to fight back against Yetia's rapid offensives which forced Rome to evacuate its armies to Najova to participate in an offenesive northwards near the Sava. Sarpistan and (South) Azeria noted the excessive number of Yetians travelling to their countries, confusing the Confederacy until Sarpistan and the Confederacy realised they were trying to rally support in Azeria for a campaign to conquer its northern claimed territories from the Confederacy, forcing the Confederated to urge Azeria to remain level-headed. As the Confederacy inquired about the status of the frontlines, Najova claimed it didn't need much assistance against the enemy, which Rome refuted to be false as Yetia's army had expanded by 40% since the last war, thus the Confederacy moved in significant numbers of reinforcements to deal with the newly militarized Yetian conscripts. Azeria fell into chaos as the 'Azerian Nationalist League' demanded that reunification be achieved at once, prompting the Confederacy to retreat all assets from Northern Azeria as the region was effectively handed over to Azeria to keep it pacified. With northern Yetia far too defended, the Confederate alliance opted to move thru the Po Valley instead, leading to the Veneto region being liberated. Rome noted that there were 200 thousand Yetian soldiers stationed in Tunis, prompting the Confederacy to try to organize Jeriya for an attack westwards only for Yetia to launch an attack into Jeriya first while in the far-east Lineland managed to enforce the continuation of their NAP with Sizzle after New Sizzle briefly invaded a rural region near Orenburg. Ellaria and Corestias invaded in the west to distract forces away from Jeriya as the Confederacy was unable to help due to Yetian fleets attacking all of their vessels heading thru the Bosphorus. Moesia and the Confederacy began collaborating to form a collaborator government to take over Yetia to ensure it wouldn't collapse again upon their victory, while Polsk bombed Yetia for no reason before being told to stop by Nova Polska.
