the Midway-Darkest Empire Wars
(known as the War for Power in the Darkest Empire)

Cold War
Soon after a nation known as the Darkest Empire formed, relations immediatly went to a historical low, it wouldn't have been a surprise if either nation declared war. The ruler of the Darkest Empire, DarkLordX, took the initiative. DarkLordX declared war on the Union of Midway and called it the War for power.

first battle
The first battle was an invasion of the Union of Midway by the Darkest Empire. Midway successfully defended themselves, but at a high cost. The Union of Midway's military was weakened.

Midway's weakness
At first the Darkest Empire seemed to have the capability to achieve victory, although every attack was a failure but the military power of the Union of Midway was weakened every time and things began to look bleak.

LoSS intervention
Soon the League of Small Superpowers(LoSS)helped the Union of Midway in the course of the war and the tide turned, the Union of Midway won the next battles that where fought after aid from the LoSS arrived

The Darkest Empire Surrenders
The Darkest Empire saw the futileness of the war and decided to surrender, resulting in the termination of all hostilities between the 2 nations, though they still keep a eye on each other.

Recovery
The Union of Midway didn't have any problems recovering from the war, though the same could not be said for the Darkest Empire until a few nations from The Imperial Order gave Aid.

Effects
because of the Darkest Empires capitulation, the Union of Midway made the Darkest Empire a puppet state. But soon after the Darkest Empire wanted sovereignty. When the Union of Midway rejected, war was inevtable

the Inter-War Period
During the Inter-War Period the Union of Midway had massive recovery operations in order to restore their Union, and in the process expanded via many ways. But they didn't focus on their mlitary and as it became weaker the Darkest Empire seized the chance, and peace was broken

the Second Union of Midway-Darkest Empire War
The second war didn't go so well for the Union of Midway. After the outbreak of the war the alliance of the darkest empire, The Imperial Order (TIO), and the LoSS where negotiating for peace. But only after the Darkest Empire receive direct orders to stop their offensive, did the fighting stop. The Union of Midway was thinking of capitulation by the time the ceasefire was made and eventually the war ended but at a high cost. Much of the capitol of Aldebaran lay in ashes. Tensions are once again on the rise between the two nations and the Union of Midway speculates a third war is inevitable. However the Darkest Empire fell apart and that threat to Midwayan Security is no more.

Temporary disbandment and Reformation of the Union of Midway
The Union of Midway was temporarily disbanded after the Second Union of Midway-Darkest Empire War. The different territories went their separate ways for the longest time all of them still clinging to the old ways of the Union. Eventually the Territory of Aldebaran decided to reform the Union of Midway, the smaller territories agreed to rejoin without a fuss but the major ones remain independent. Nonetheless the Union of Midway was reborn.

Rise of the Totalitarian State
Though the Union of Midway started off as a Democracy, the government was switched to a Republic when the people desired, in this time it underwent a large military buildup. This resulted in a effective Rule by the Military, resulting in a new totalitarian state being born. However this totalitarian state maintained the unions belief for freedom. Eventually the position of president was replaced with the position of Emperor. Then the position of Vice President was scrapped and replaced with the position of President.



PB-NpO War
The Union of Midway is currently fighting as a member of LoSS in the PB-NpO War. The military quickly overwhelmed the first nations of LoSS's enemies, and continued to fight even after the nations were sent into anarchy in an attempt to ZI them. The first attacks were victories for the Union of Midway, however the tide of the war turned against the favor of the Union of Midway later on (see Age of Anarchy below).

Rise of the Communist Party
During the PB-NpO War the CPM (Communist Party of Midway) came to power through a coup d'état. However even the communists where effected by the belief that the government should listen to the people engraved in the people of the Union of Midway and promised to restore the old government after the PB-NpO War, and spend all of its power into trying to win the PB-NpO War in the name of LoSS. Though the war has not ended the old government has been restored as promised.

the Age of Anarchy
After fighting for a while in the PB-NpO War the Union of Midway was sent into anarchy, this period is referred to as the Age of Anarchy. During this period of time the actual government of the Union of Midway had no control over the citizens, and factions sprung up left and right. Though still they fought against the enemies of LoSS, they often fought among each other as well, eliminating the effectiveness of any resistance. Many factions used propaganda to support there attempt to unify the islands, making the former united territories start to turn on each other as the propaganda spread.

On 2/5/11 the last soldier in the army of the Union of Midway (at the time) committed seppuku (ritual suicide). The army has been since restored.

the Age of Restoration
After the army regained power and stopped the chaos and killing between the multiple factions the Age of Anarchy ended. The following period is known as the Age of Restoration as the government began regaining control over the war-torn lands while still fighting for LoSS in the PB-NpO War.

Post PB-NpO War
On February 28, 2011 LoSS was given white peace in the PB-NpO War. This brought the Union of Midway out of the PB-NpO War as well. The Union of Midway is currently undergoing post-war rebuilding efforts. The Union of Midway doesn't think very highly of CSN because they declared war on LoSS, without activating any treaties. Then went on to criticize DT's joining the war via the NOIR ODP, many citizens of the Union of Midway argue that at least DT actually activated a treaty unlike CSN.
