Basic information

A war fought in Knootoss between the South Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the GDODAD. The Dominion (GDODAD) invaded on behalf of Dick Tator when he claimed to be the legitimate leader of Knootoss after an election where he became the biggest party. SATO forces intervened on behalf of the old government. Unknown to the public, this conflict had been sparked by manipulations of the Knootian elections, executed by various nations on both sides, including Der Angst.

On behalf of SATO, Angstian, EOTED, Lavenrunzian, and Syskeyian forces were deployed in Knootoss. Other Knootian allies fighting were Valinon, Sunset and Clangerland. They fought against forces deployed from Whispering Voices, Dyelli Beybi, and Fasta Benj with reasonable success.

A notable naval battle was fought in the North Sea between a massive Whispering Voices fleet and single EOTED wet-naval Battlegroup, ending in the destruction of the EOTED Battlegroup, the deployment of a large EOTED air group to suppress the Whispering Forces fleet, and the loss of several thousand lives. The battle was technically inconclusive, as hostilities ended before a true conclusion; although EOTED suffered greater losses than did Whispering Voices, possibly due to the failure of other SATO nations with naval assets in the area to deploy to the area rapidly enough.

The Silver Turtle and Thelasi forces landed in The Hague, caputuring most of the city before being repelled. Later in the war, SATO engaged forces of The Brotherhood of Nod that landed near Hoek van Holland after the allied fleet was unable to prevent their landing.

The Knootian centre of government, the city of The Hague, was shelled during this war by Dyelli Beybi. Der Angst retaliated by bombing Dyelli Beybi and the Federated Klatchian Coast.

Whispering Voices forces perhaps performed best of all those deployed, and proved an unpredictable, difficult force to be reckoned with. Thirty thousand SATO lives - all of which were from the EOTED - were lost in a single aerial bombardment when a Whispering Forces aerial taskforce breached SATO air superiority over The Hague and bombed a recently assumed EOTED position.

Conflict resolution

The conflict ended in a peace settlement negotiated by The Vortex Corporation and Tarasovka where the GDODAD withdrew in exchange for an artificial island off the coast of Knootoss, which was used as a military base disguised as an attraction park. The base was dismantled upon the expiring of the deadline fixed in the Peace Treaty.
