History of Whittier

The Moon Crises

Early January 2003 Secretary General Alexander Brezhnekov, fearing that Whittier will be left out in the race to establish colonnies and bases on the moon in the great lunar rush, dispatches troops to the moon under the auspices of defending the moon natives from Earth Domination. Several nations condemned this action and demanded Whittier's full withdrawal from the moon. Among those in opposition to Whittier were several nations on the moon, the United States of the South Pacific, Crystal Palaise, and several others. In opposition to Whittier's troop deployment, the United States of the South Pacific sent its own forces to moon to Whittier from grabbing more lunar soil. The Holy Empire of Canales, under the auspices of Emperor Canales, offered and helped negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The next day, Whittier formally proclaimed it was recognizing the independence of West Moon and would soon withdraw its forces. Though the total disarmament of West Moon was sought, this was never acheived. Whittier, at the invitation of the newly established government of West Moon, announced its intention to maintain a military presence on West Moon territory to prevent and counter hostile intentions on the part of the South Pacific and West Moon's neighbors. Victor Szachinsky was installed by Whittier as West Moon's first communist dictator. And a huge wall was built around west moon, complete with land mines and booby traps for any capitalist troops that would try to enter West Moon.
