NoV-LSF War

Abstract
On October 2, Kaiser Martens of Norden Verein announced that RedTerror of the Libertarian Socialist Federation had nuked Reich Zealand and Republic of Roma and LSF had been aware of plans for the attack and done nothing to stop it. As a result, NoV declared war on LSF, with the intention of destroying it utterly.

Alternate Names
NoV's code name for the war is Fall Schtiel.

Events During The War
Initial attacks on LSF were highly successful and caused tremendous damage. Many LSF nations left the alliance shortly after the beginning of fighting.

Two Weeks In
NoV did not negotiate over surrender terms, and functioned with the intention of forcing LSF To disband. By October 17, slightly more than two weeks after the start of war, LSF's total nation strength was down to approximately 200,000, from nearly 2,000,000 at war's start. Of the 58 remaining LSF nations, 20 were in peace mode, 26 were reduced to ZI or below 10 infrastructure, and 12 were reduced to below 200 infrastructure. No nations operating outside peace mode had over 200 infra, and only a single nuclear capable nation remained.

On that day the LSF made a statement announcing their intention to fight for the alliance's existance rather than disband.

Thanksgiving Counter Attack
In mid-late November, most of NoV's MDP allies cancelled their treaties during an event called the Fall Gerechtigkeit. Perhaps emboldened by NoV's Gerechtigkeit problems, on November 20-21 LSF launched a substantial counter attack. Within 24 hours approximately 26 wars were declared by LSF nations against NoV, with several additional declarations over the next few days.
