The Day of the Dead War is a conflict that was initiated when rabidman of Ciudad de Muerto declared an unprovoked war on John Warbuck of New Aligned States. It quickly grew, adding many more nations from various alliances, both those declared on by rabidman and those declaring on him in response to his declarations. Both rabidman and his accomplice, Lazarus Long of Heinleiner, stated that they would use nuclear weapons from the very beginning of the conflict, so this was an all-out war. Rabidman declared war while in Kronos, then switched to a one-man alliance, and later was in a two-man alliance with Lazarus. Rabidman's attacks were not approved by Kronos.

Prelude to the Conflict
A Historic Grudge
Rabidman's hatred for John Warbuck dates back to a time of peace, when both rabidman and John Warbuck served in The Democratic Order. Rabidman was called out by John Warbuck for some questionable and offensive actions, and a fiery exchange of words took place in the Senate Chambers. After being punished for his actions, rabidman harbored a grudge against John Warbuck that would intensify his bitterness over the next eight months.
Over the course of time, rabidman launched a series of political and personal attacks against John Warbuck. Due to the failure of most of these attacks by rabidman, his desperation to have revenge on John Warbuck continued to grow over time. After John Warbuck's elevation to the High Senate of The Democratic Order, rabidman left TDO to help found Synergia. Despite being away from Warbuck, rabidman's harbored feelings continued to remain bottled up.
When the Aqua Defense Initiative was created, rabidman threatened John Warbuck and his new alliance, but nothing came of it. The next three and a half months remained quiet and uneventful, as rabidman was not allowed anywhere near John Warbuck or ADI. On January 9, 2010, rabidman launched his calculated attack against ADI's Flagship Nation- New Aligned States.
The Day of the Attack
January 9, 2010 was a busy day for John Warbuck. He was finishing the final touches ADI's protectorate agreement with The Aqua Regime, and had many other things going on. Thanks to Bobogoobo, New Aligned States was alarmed of the impending attacks and was able to thwart a bombing attack and ground attack from Ciudad de Muerto. Rabidman had been publicly boasting of his intent to declare war against John Warbuck's nation and Bobogoobo happened to be present to overhear the conversation. Bobogoobo's quick warning helped to minimize the impact of the first day's attacks.
War was declared on the nation of New Aligned States at 6:59 PM. John Warbuck immediately opened diplomatic channels with Kronos- the alliance rabidman belonged to at the time of the attack. Kronos confirmed that Ciudad de Muerto was a rogue nation and immediately condemned the actions of rabidman; as they dispatched Lazarus Long of Heinleiner to declare war on rabidman in support of John Warbuck. By the time Lazarus Long declared war on Ciudad de Muerto, Bobogoobo had declared on rabidman's nation as well. Rabidman had also declared war on NationName, led by Nojudfoo.
Two hours after the initial attacks were made, John Warbuck requested a trade and aid sanction on the rogue nation of Ciudad de Muerto. The request was filed with Count Rupert, the Aqua Team Senator from the Mostly Harmless Alliance, and the request was granted the next morning.
