VERA Semi-Final Incident

The incident that sparked the war occurred on July 21st, 2019. The 2019 VERA World Championship was in the semifinal stage, with the Allian VERA National Team playing against the Paladinian VERA National Team. In the 4th quarter of the game, an Allian player contacted a Paladinian player near the back area. The Paladinian team believed this to be a foul, however the referee, Lewis Mayenvum, did not call it as a foul. One Paladinian player, Ramjek Branoff was angered by the call, and after making multiple rude gestures as well as shouting numerous rude words at the referee, he was kicked out of the game.

Soon the Paladinians took the lead in the game, however the Allians came back, and on one play, the Allians threw the ball into one of the gargales, with the Paladinians calling for a foul. However the officials did not call it a foul, instead giving the ball to the Paladinians. This call pushed the team over the top, with Logan Wagner yelling and making rude gestures, along with numerous players coming up to the referee and arguing their case. After these offenses, the referee kicked out 3 of the Paladinians, Wagner, Brooks Cincy, and Jordan Ballachjekx, however they refused to leave the arena. Security was called in, forcibly removing the three players. After that, the remaining Paladinians were still making rude gestures and comments, and Mayenvum forced a forfeit, giving the game to the Allian team.

Immediate Reactions and Declaration of War

Immediately after the game, Co-Dictator of Paladinia Logan Warren VI called an immediate Paladinian Executive Meeting with Co-Dictator Nathan Greenawalt and others, including the Military Governor of Paladinia and the Colligationem. After the meeting, which lasted an hour, numerous actions were taken. First, the Embassy of Paladinia, USQ was evacuated quickly around 4:00 PM AGST. This was noticed by the United States of Quentin, which messaged the Paladinians as to their intents, with Quentinian Secretary of Foreign Affairs Lauren Semmel writing the message, as well as evacuating the Embassy of the USQ, Paladinia, at around 5:15 PM AGST, after an emergency Cupboard meeting took place at 777 Cupboard Place.

It is also thought that around 6:00 PM AGST, Supreme Commander of the Quentinian Military Chloe Livingstone was commanded by Quentinian Secretary of Defense Allen Buckingshom to mobilize naval units and move the Quentinian National Guard into and near the Multi-Logan State, near Paladinia. Meanwhile, Dictator Warren polled the governors on a declaration of war, noting that the Colligationem and Military Governor had expressed their approvals. All 5 voted for the war,
