Ikean Strip War

The Ikean strip war was triggered by Xander's occupation of the southern most point of the Ikean strip. He declared himself the leader of this land deeming it the "Fatman Kingdom" he and his council of Fat Rolls (term for members of the parliament) decided to set up border guards on the main entrance to the rest of the strip. These guards were ordered to charge people 17 shekels (pennies) to pass through the border. The Socialist Government of the People's Ikean Republic, in control of the rest of the strip saw this as a reactionary rebellion, and Xander as a warlord. In response top generals of the republic Kaleb and Ethane formed the NazBol People's Liberation Front. And managed to muster around 58000 troops against the Fatman Kingdoms nearly 80000. Later the USSR would give military support to the NazBol front, while the United States would strong arm the U.N into sending troops to help the fatman kingdom in order to secure their interest in recourses in the area. The USSR boycotted the U.N and thus no Soviet men went to fight against the NazBols. Xander and his forces where forced out of the Strip completely after the first 3 years of fighting. A NazBol Victory looked on the horizon and no major battles occurred for 5 months, but in May of 1977 Xander launched an offensive and managed to take the lightly defended strip before the Larger NazBol force could reach it. This blunder would cause the second interval of the war. Early in this second interval the battle of little Limbaugh occurred in which Kaleb commanded a flank of Xander's forces while Ethane and his men distracted them. Kaleb shouted "Rush Limbaugh" after sneaking through one of the Great Ikean Storage Walls, this lead to the battle being named after his war chant, and would be a major victory for the NazBols as it broke the Fatmanish power in the southern Ikean strip for a while. By 1983 the USSR and U.N forces were fully involved in the war. As of know the Strip is still a contested area, but all sides have agreed that no toll shall be set up until an agreement is made. The war is currently considered over after the 1985 ceasefire, but small skirmishes still occur. The war would last about 11 years. Some of the most notable battles include


 * The Battle of Little Limbaugh
 * The Great Kvord pillow battle
 * Panzerkampf (First battle with tanks)
 * Defense of the Seneplant
 * First battle of the bend
 * 3rd-15th Battles of the bend
 * "Fat war" (Ethane and Xander's big tussle)
