Medale-Miridge crisis

Outbreak
As Moyaism rapidly spread east across the South, or East, Continent, many Moyaists were dissatisfied at the low numbers of Moyaists around Miridge. They began a movement to spread Moyaism in Miridge, and the percentage of Moyaists in Miridge soon rose to about 41%. A Gaulunese civilian (name not revealed by MM yet) strongly disagreed with the spread of Moyaism, and shot a well-known Moyaist activist in Miridge due to an alleged assault. Outrage at the shooting resulted in violent riots, and soon, as Moyaists took up arms, a full-scale rebellion in southeastern Miridge on March 5, 4055. The same day, the rebellion, branded as the Medale-Miridge Freedom Army (MMFA), encircled a Jemnisian unit in the settlement of Likn, beginning the prolonged siege in that city that became infamous in the war.

An initial, poorly-planned assault on Miridge City from southeastern Miridge District was quickly pushed back on March 5. However, after that, the MMFA moved south on March 6, capturing numerous border crossings with Terra Vitae. It refrained from entering Terra Vitae as to not provoke a larger response. The MMFA also captured parts of the Miridgean coast, and largely tightened the Siege of Likn the same day. Around this time, as an effort to satisfy many Moyaist demands for a sovereign city-state made for Moyaists, Nascassia and Astrye of Noxuie discussed who would create it. After a brief stall in frontline movement, the MMFA launched a multi-pronged assault, deemed "Operation Free Moyai", on March 8th. It consisted of an assault to capture the entire Miridgean-TV border, pushing a Medalean army unit into the sea, and advancing on the capital. The operation was surprisingly successful- most of the border was captured by the end of the operation on March 11, and the Medalean unit was evacuated by sea. Around that time, the MMFA rebranded into the Moyaist Republic of Miridge, and the defensive barrier in Likn was broken, and the city descended into all-out urban warfare.

Peak of Moyaist Miridge and Triglavian intervention
By March 22, Moyaist Miridge had essentially doubled its land control, having control over most of the Miridgean border and large portions of the Miridgean coast. Moyaists around the world were now encouraging an end to hostilities. Moyaist Miridge was now better than ever, and was advancing on the city of Miridge- however, it was still suffering setbacks around Likn, where Moyaist casualties were increasing as urban warfare intensified. Jemnisian units in the area were being resupplied by air from Vitaen and MM aircraft, too, worsening the Moyaist situation there. Civilian casualties in Likn were also severe, ranging from the high hundreds to the low thousands. By March 24, the frontlines stagnated again, largely in the Moyaists favor. That same day, Triglav made the decision to join Terra Vitae in supporting Miridge's fight against the Moyaists. While an air force was sent to Vitae, no significant bombing campaign was made due to the Gostuvar Crisis (in relation with Triglav's Bloodlust doctrine). The lack of a bombing campaign is sometimes viewed as having allowed the Moyaists to continue expansion even as Triglav intervened, albeit at a slower rate than before.

By March 29th, the Triglavian air support allowed northern Likn to be cleared of Moyaists. In addition, paratrooper units were dropped very deep into Moyaist territory in a campaign deemed "Operation Liberty's Guard". As a part of Liberty's Guard, an amphibious assault was launched along the Miridgean coastline, aided by Triglavian air support. 12,000 Triglavian soldiers came in from Terra Vitae on the same day, although not a part of Liberty's Guard. By April 3rd, main Likn was freed of fighting with Moyaists. While Jemnisian and Vitaen units (the latter of which had paratrooped into the city) were still surrounded, they were pushing back the Moyaists and were preparing to link up with the beachead, which was reinforced by Triglavian units. Mid-day on April 3rd, the city was freed from siege as it linked up with outside Triglavian and Vitaen units from the beachead, ending nearly 1 month of a land blockade.

First peace talks and their failure
With Likn freed, the Moyaists began withdrawing their forces from the Likn area and all areas south of Likn, to avoid them being cut off. Only minor units were cut off, and they were able to escape north, where they were still advancing on Miridge. On April 6, Moyaists reached the outer areas of Miridge City, beginning the Battle of Miridge. Around the same time, Triglavian naval units reached MM. By April 9, the Moyaists had fiercely fought their way into the western areas of Miridge- however, the same day, both sides agreed to a ceasefire for talks.

During the peace talks, which took place in Jont, the two sides mainly discussed demilitarization. Moyaists said that they should maintain a military force with a certain degree of self-determination, although they remain within Medale-Miridge's military. They also wanted an autonomous region with the freedom to separate from Miridge if they disagreed excessively with MM on any matters. However, MM only agreed to the prospect of an autonomous region, not the separate army or the ability for Moyaist secession. The peace talks ended abruptly when Moyaist leader Jack MoNillis walked out of the conference, and an offensive was restarted on April 29th.

The offensive, called "Operation Endgame", was meant to capture coastal areas, northern Miridge district, and eventually, the entire city of Miridge. A massive pincer movement was attempted by the Moyaists, and the western fork of the pincer was first to reach Miridge. Triglavian air support bombarded Moyaist positions around Miridge carefully, and Triglavian naval units bombarded parts of the Miridgean coast that was controlled by the Moyaists. Nevertheless, the Moyaists continued advances around Miridge. Triglavian air support weakened the western and eastern forks, prompting a counter-offensive on April 30, against the western fork. However, the eastern fork soon began to close in on Miridge, although with its deteriorated equipment, it was easily pushed back.

DuMoulinian rebellion & the Tegenstand
That same day, likely taking advantage of the instability in Medale-Miridge, the Neue Coke business of notorious Nascassian drug dealer Erik DuMoulin travelled to southeastern Medale and led a rebellion there. They gained some territory, but when they attempted to connect with the Moyaists, the Moyaists rejected the request. The creation of a new narco-proto-state for the Neue Coke business caused significant disarray regarding management of two rebellions at once. Eventually, Medale-Miridge created a militia consisting of anti-DuMoulin civilians named the Tegenstand, Medalean for "resistance" or "opposition". By late on April 30, the DuMoulinian Army, as it was named, had control over 4 settlements.

On May 1st, Medale began giving air assistance to the Tegenstand as it attacked DeMoulinian positions. The most infamous- or, this time, famous- of them was Amerpor, where the DeMoulinians ruled with an iron fist. Anyone who criticized the narcotics were killed on the spot, and a large portion (albeit still a minority) of Amerpor was hooked onto drugs by the DeMoulinians. As a result, the Medaleans and Tegens assualted Amerpor first, mid-day on May 1st. They quickly penetrated into the city and began civilian evacuations. Around the same time, Miridge requested a ceasefire with the Moyaists to focus on fighting the narco-proto-state; when the Moyaists learned the nature of the request, they accepted it.

An additional multi-pronged assault was launched in Amerpor, from the north and northwest. In addition, Tiger helicopters dropped 45 special forces from Terra Vitae, and then proceeded to give air support to all allied forces within Miridge. No Tiger helicopters were lost. During the battle, a brief emergency was generated when the DuMoulinians announced that a mercenary force was being sent to the Medalean-TV border. The border was closed during that time, but no such unit was reported to have reached the border. Nevertheless, the paratrooping unit was expanded and began attempting link-ups with the rest of the allied forces.

Fall of DuMoulin and end of the war
Given the deteriorating situation of his rebellion, DuMoulin fled the occupied areas in secret. By late on May 1st, the combination of Tiger air support and continued advances by allied units resulted in DuMoulinian units in Amerpor to essentially crumble. Most forces (numbering at about 500 at that point) had retreated to the city's center by late on May 2nd, and 300 forces remained and surrendered by the end of the battle. After clearing Amerpor of DeMoulinian guerilla insurgents, the battle was declared over on May 5th, with about 200 allied casualties in comparison to DeMoulin's 919.

In addition, the Moyaists and MM agreed to a peace deal, in which representation was given to Moyaists in the MM legislature, the Moyaists were given autonomy, and the Moyaists had to help MM in its fight against the DuMoulinians. The DuMoulinians, who had renamed themselves to the New Narcotic Government of Medale-Miridge, were crumbling. By May 6th, all DuMoulinian held territory was liberated, and the war was declared over. Triglav sufferred 162 dead, and more injured, and Medale-Miridge thanked it for its sacrifice. Total Allied casualties have yet to be released.
