The FAN-WUT War was a conflict between The Initiative and the recently expelled former member the Federation of Armed Nations. At the time it was one of the longest wars fought in Cyber Nations, and later followed by the FAN-1V War.
Prelude
The lead up to the war saw relations between FAN and the members of the World Unity Treaty rapidly deteriorate.
Yellow Number 5
On May 31, 2007 FAN and GOLD announced the Yellow Number 5 Doctrine, which would protect all Yellow sphere nations from tech traders. This lead to friction between FAN and other members of the Initiative, particularly \m/ who were heavy tech raiders. In response \m/ and its White sphere allies TPF and STA announced the "Don't Pee in Our Snow Act" which specifically forbade yellow team nations from raiding the white sphere.
Around mid-June a GOONS member attacked a yellow nation that was on the "Enemy of the GOONS" list, FAN then responded by attacking the GOONS nation. On June 17 FAN announced Yellow Number 6, which cancelled the Yellow Number 5 doctrine.
Operation Overlord
On June 5 FAN launched a preemptive surprise attack on the Norden Verein, who were a NPO protectorate at the time. After communications from the Order, FAN ceased their attacks and claimed to be unaware of the protectorate status.
War Progress
June
Prior to the war commencing, NPO and GGA left the For the Love of God, Think of the Children! Convention on June 15, which was a non-nuclear aggression pact.
On June 18 FAN was officially expelled from The Initiative, with the attack on the GOONS nation under the Yellow Number 5 doctrine cited as a reason. This was then followed by declarations of war from the members of The Initiative, as well as members of the Hanseatic League, IRON and BLEU member FCO who declared war the next day.
On June 19 The Initiative forces began executing a series of preemptive nuclear strikes against FAN nations. FAN members had indicated on the CN forum that they would unleash their nuclear arsenals, while their government claimed otherwise. Emperor TrotskysRevenge had announced that members of the Order could use their nuclear weapons first.[1] FAN retaliated with over 200 nuclear strikes of their own, leading to the first significant nuclear war prior to Great War II.
July
On July 10 Admin announced that FAN had lost its sanctioned status due to damages during the war.
Due to fighting alongside the members of the World Unity Treaty in previous wars and now against FAN, TPF and MCXA joined The Initiative on July 20.
August
Following a brief period of internal turmoil in the NPO, the New Polar Order signed a separate peace deal with FAN on August 16 and shortly after left The Initiative.
September
At update on September 14, FAN carried out a coordinated strike against NPO members[2] in an attempt to relieve their nations that were currently fighting.
With the outbreak of the Unjust War on September 9, the GOONS, \m/ and Genmay surrendered to FAN on September 10[3] in order to remove themselves from the war to concentrate on fighting the new coalition arrayed against them. After its defeat in the Unjust War, TPF surrenders and ceases fighting FAN.[4] NPO, GGA and IRON remained as the major alliances fighting FAN at this time.
The war with FAN escalated at the same time the Unjust War was being fought when it was discovered that GOLD had been sending aid to FAN through the alliance NooN. After attempting a diplomatic resolution with the government of GOLD and receiving a less than satisfactory response, the Order declared war on GOLD on September 15.[5] GOLD had been waging war against the Confederacy of Independent States at the time and found itself rapidly outnumbered and overwhelmed, surrendering on September 20.[6]
At the same time the Order went to war with the Entente of The Rising Sun after they came to the assistance of GOLD. The war was brief, with EoTRS surrendering on September 23.[7]
The war with FAN came to an end on September 21, surrendering to the NPO[8] and concluding separate peace agreements with the MCXA, GGA and IRON.
Surrenders and Withdrawals

- September 10 - GOONS, \m/ and Genmay surrender to FAN [1]

Aftermath
The war lasted for 98 days, making it one of the longest wars in Cyber Nation's history up to that point.
FAN was later found to have violated the terms of surrender, leading to the FAN-1V War on December 17.
FAN Surrender Terms
1. Destroy all factories, nukes, air force, CMs and tanks. FAN will only keep enough soldiers to keep their population happy. Decommission must happen within seven (7) days. This state of decommission shall last three (3) months from the time the terms are ratified. 2. Sign no treaties for a period of three (3) months. 3. Receive no external aid for a period of three (3) months. During this three (3) month period, FAN will be a protectorate of the New Pacific Order. As such, any nation or alliance who attacks a member or members of FAN without provocation shall be subject to retaliatory action by the NPO. NPO must respond within 24 hours after being notified of any such attack on FAN. This clause will not apply to any offensive actions by FAN or its members. Any member of FAN who violates these terms will be ZId as long as the NPO deems appropriate. Following the three month decommissioning period, NPO and FAN agree to a mutual NAP for a period of another three months.
