The Green Civil War was fought between the The Initiative and a coalition known as Green Solidarity. The build up to the war saw the Viridian Entente and Confederacy of Independent States both depart from the World Unity Treaty followed by rising tensions between them and the remaining Initiative members.
Prelude
On May 4, the Confederacy of Independent States was expelled from The Initiative due to issues surrounding their sovereignty, with the Grand Global Alliance cancelling the MADP held with CIS the day after. Shortly after, the Viridian Entente also left the treaty.
During May the Viridian Entente attempted to establish the Obsidian Entente, an offshoot on the Black team. This was met with immediate opposition from the Goon Order of Neutral Shoving who issued an ultimatum to VE that the Obsidian Entente had to move off Black. While the alliance moved to Aqua and was renamed to the Oceanic Entente the damage had been done, and tensions had been increased.
War Progress
At 11:27pm on May 24, the Green Solidarity Act was signed between the Viridian Entente, ArgoNaut, NTO and Grämlins. Eight minutes later the Grand Global Alliance declared war on some of the pact's signatories with the following casus belli:
* Declaration on VE: For encroaching on the Black Sphere by the creation of the Obsidian Entente along with issues with the leadership of the VE * Declaration on CIS: For breaking the trust of GGA by pursuing to allow a foreign power to have control over alliance decisions, and then attempting to deny and cover up any suggestion of these events * Declaration on NTO: Being an offshoot of the disbanded /b/ alliance that was formed by /b/ members when /b/ disbanded during the [[Great War III|Third Great War]]
The GGA was joined by several other Initiative alliances including \m/, MDC, Genmay, GOONS, FAN and the NPO.
