The Troubles is an ongoing civil conflict in Jaaland. With the gradual collapse of the Jaakeli government, nations such as Meckelnburgh, Hurmu, and Normark became increasingly interested in integrating Jaaland into their respective nations. This then caused large political division throughout Jaaland splitting its loyalties with the Confederate States of Floria.

The Florian government offered a treaty of protection to resolve the conflict but it was received with backlash domestically and was initially rejected by the Jaakeli Government. However, skirmishes increased in the capital activating the 207th Army for peacekeeping. Famine caused by the conflict eventually led to the demise of Jaaland with the last remaining signs of civilisation extinguished.

Background

Responses

  • Constancia Constancia: The Imperial Constancian Government, through the local embassy, expressed concern over developments, appealed to Constancian nationals to remain in constant communication with the embassy, and began evacuating and repatriating non-essentials.
  • Floria Floria: President Trueman was not surprised by the ongoing situation in the country and called for a swift resolution after the Protectorate Treaty with Floria was initially rejected. After it became clear that Jaakeli couldn't respect basic human rights in these challenging times, Florian troops ordered by newly inaugurated President Nick Borisov swiftly withdrew from the area signalling the 'collapse'.
  • Hurmu Hurmu & Normark Normark: The embassies of both nations issued a joint statement on 24.V.1707 AN which expressed their bewilderment at the conduct of the political leadership in Jaaland.
  • Lac Glacei Lac Glacei: Elements of GARD were deployed to the Nurthaven and Antruusbuurg Canal to provide additional security and assist with humanitarian aid. The Grand Duke said that refugees would be welcome into Lac Glacei and ordered shelters to be established in Nurthaven to provide relief and temporary housing. Military units secured the Jaaland Bridge both to protect the important access route and to help maintain order among the many refugees fleeing the country.
  • Raspur Pact Apollonia Command: A squadron-strength mission, spearheaded by members of the General Inspectorate of Apollonia Command, was airlifted to Hellistelli International Airport in the aftermath of the reported societal collapse. Its objective was to organise the surviving remnants of the Jääland Auxiliary Regiments into a perimeter defence whilst overseeing the evacuation ESB assets, citizens with useable skillsets and their dependents, and allied nationals from other Pact nations. Assisted by the ESB Airport Security Cohort, the force held the airport - along with a special filtration hut specifically for the purpose of identifying and executing the members of the former government who had caused this mess - for seventy-two hours until the evacuation of priority assets was completed. With the departure of the last flight an orbital strike was called down in order to destroy the airport and those not prioritised for evacuation.
