This war is playable only by the nation of Anatea and the NPC nation of Ruthenia (always used by Anatea) for develop its lore and for test the Strategic Rules of War. Every nation of every region that tries to get in the role will be reported by the modders and the post deleted, while for the region of Anteria their invasive actions will be retconned and deleted. All the maps and most of the images are made by me.
Thank you.

May 2019
After the referendum held in the Ruthenian region of Dalstavia, the latter decided to be annexed by the nearby and peaceful Republic of Anatea, after the government of the Federal Republic of Ruthenia had repeatedly ignored the sanitary and economic problems of the regions since the end of the Ruthenian Civil War.
Six years have passed since that distant conflict, and Dalstavia has decided to turn his back on his old ruler to benefit from the stable economy of Anatea. But not everything went in the right way.
With the annexation of the region by Anatea, the ruthenian army armored the borders with the region and began to bomb cities and border towns in retaliation. The dalstavian population reacted immediately, arming itself and giving life to the "Free Dalstavia" rebel group, with the intent to stop the ruthenians. In all the chaos of reprisals Anatea could do nothing but look helpless, but when the ruthenian reprisals began to involve also the anatean humanitarian organizations on the border, the nation decided to act.
It began with war threats, which were taken seriously, up to organize a diplomatic meeting between King Edward II and ruthenian leader Kars Delai in Freyja, in Shadoveil.

Before starting to read play THIS for more immersion.
<< Alright gentleman, settle down. I said settle down!
It' s the moment that we all waited, so let' s start this briefing! >>
Briefer
<< As you can see on the map there' s the delegation flight route. We can't pass on south 'cause Ruthenia is in a bad mood, while on north the Dokodo Union cover is really low, and we don' t trust the CIN guys yet. That' s why we' ll pass through Gabrielland for reach Shadoveil. Your mission is to protect the King's cargo until the destination. The task will be an easy one, because when you' ll reach Vailhims the lads of the 17th Assault Squadron of the Royal Gabrielt Airforce will cover your asses until you reach Aziallis. Given the tensions 4 squadrons will escort the delegate cargo, such as Sol, Starlia, Raylay and Horizon Squadrons. With you all King Edward II and Queen Isabel II will be ok for the rest of the travel. Also an AWACS will cover you all, but keep your eyes peeled. Dismissed! >>

The scarlet sky of May was slowly starting to get redder and darker, , while the sun, in all its light, clung to the horizon to keep the day alive until the last second. The royal plane, a C-5 Galaxy, was flying alongside the selected anatean squadrons and an AWACS that, with its radar, controlled the situation around the escort. The sunset seemed calm and without danger.
<< AWACS Sky Arrow to escort planes, all quiet at the moment. In a few miles we should get to Vailhims, where the 17th Assault Squadron will cover us and supply the escorts. >>

<< This is Sol 1, roger. I can't wait to arrive, this new model burns gas without problems. >>

Sasha Yumov ( Sol 2 )
<< And by the way i' m sick and tired to be on board this fighter without doing anything.. >>
AWACS Sky Arrow
<< Guys, cut the chatter. You' re on mission and you can't spea... wait, hold it... >>
The silence enveloped all the squadrons, while the pilots' eyes began to scrutinize every single point of the sky and clouds.
<< Anatean aircrafts on south? An extra escort? We weren' t informed... this is Special Transport Formation, what' s your affiliation? ... incoming allied fighters, respond. >>
A few seconds passed in pure silence, where nothing was perceptible on the radio. Until, suddenly, someone started talking.

<< This is Galda! AWACS, they' re targeting us! What' s going on? >>
AWACS Sky Arrow
<< What..? They have our own IFF, how that' s possible? >>
Starlia 1
<< Sky Arrow, what do we do? >>
AWACS Sky Arrow
<< ...Engage. We don' t know who they are, but if they' re aiming to the royal plane that means that they' re not allies. >>

Bradley Lee ( Sol 1 )
<< Roger, Sol engage. >>
Starlia 1
<< Starlia engage. >>
Horizon 1

The escort fighters began to detach themselves from the formation, to go and intercept the numerous enemy fighters that appeared on the horizon.
