Before 1980, the relations between Wraland and Guerro were neutral to positive, despite being completely different governments. This was caused by Guerro's "Friends if not threatened" policy that is still in effect today. However, in 1980, Wralands leads President Egar died, leaving the government unstable and eventually collapsed, turning Wraland into an Anarchy. Guerro occupied the eastern part of the country, despite violating the FINT policy, and fought the Communist party that has risen up to try and bring back the dictatorship Chaiman Egar had formed. An Anti-Communist party had risen up to, and this caused the Wralandic Civil War. The Communists eventually won due to Guerro becoming Socialist, and them backing out of the war in 1995. However, Guerro went back to their former government when there economy almost crashed due to the new government. Since then, relations between Wraland and Guerro were tense, creating one of the most tense rivalries in Atlas history. At one point, Wraland built a wall on the border of Wraland and Guerro to prevent Wralandic civilians from escaping into Guerro. That almost created a war, but fortunately it didn't. However, with the release of this on Wralandic Newspaper:
In a speech that would make history all across Atlas...
''The Wralic Republic has officialy begin a military expansion program to defend our proud nation against the fascist IFA! Wraland has long stood strong as an independent nation with no need for foreign support. Pax Wralandum!''

This would be the final straw, one that creates something that's been expected for years.
President Kilson Gutier released this statement in response to the news: "If you continue to expand your military, you will be the spark that ignites a fire. Please, for the sake of both out people, limit your military."
Wraland responded with this:
This is Chairman Fredorik.
It is on this grave day, when Wraland faces more threats than it has ever since the civil war. A conflict with Estenia still looms on the horizon, only because of our expansion of military... And now... Guerro.
The leader of Guerro has plead me to halt the expansion and upgrading of our proud military. But what is into it for us? What will it do to benefit us? NOTHING! It is blatant imperialism by this vile populace that is our eastern neighbour! No more! No more shall we suffer! Today, we will liberate our nations and show the world what POWER Wraland beholds!
The populace claps. They all know what lies ahead... A war. A war that will decide the future of the two nations of Wraland and Guerro.
Today, President Gutier will speak in front of the people on this, and whether or not there will be a war.
Senice, Relen
"Today, I speak to you, the great people of Guerro about something that's been happening. The Wralandics have been expanding their military, violating a deal Guerro and Wraland had to try and ensure peace. They are now threatening us, and have every means to attack. Well, I have no intention to let that happen."
*Crowd cheers*
"We cannot let them get the best of us! We are not a mere puppet of some larger state that can't fight for itself! We are not weak! We are the Allied States of Guerro! And I hereby declare war on the Wralic Republic of Wraland!"
In other news, Guerran troops have been spotted moving to the wall that separates Guerro and Wraland.
