This conflict between the New Pacific Order and International Coalition of Socialist Nations lasted upwards of 48 hours and resulted in what can only be described as the "fall" of the ICSN which split into several separatist movements based on the formerly internal parties of the ICSN.
History and Causes
When a spy was found planted within the NPO by the ICSN leadership, NPO officials quickly rushed to the ICSN forum demanding they reveal the spy. The excuses of the ICSN members ranged from that there wasn't a spy, or that they didn't know about the spy until the former co-founder Canteria, who was a socialist-pacifist, folded and begged the NPO for mercy. NKOS, who was chairman at the time, refused to reveal the spy, claiming it was the only edge the ICSN had over the NPO. It was later revealed that NKOS himself had volunteered to spy on the NPO.
LUE
The LUEnited Nations played a large role in the conflict as GoodKingChinaMan had a spy, Havelock Vetinari planted in the ICSN and first revealed the ICSN spy to the NPO to spite the ICSN for accepting FLOZi, a member who had a debt with the LUE-N. LUE declared war on the ICSN only after the NPO.
LawtonPrk
During the war, LawtonPrk took an oath to the NPO to avoid being attacked only to later break that oath and attack them. He was also exposed for attempts of conspiring against the NPO and forming a rebellion. Needless to say this failed miserably.
Peace
After locating the spy, Ivan Moldavi announced an end to the war. No reparations or otherwise demands were asked of the ICSN, in Ivan's own words "The enemy has been crushed and demoralized beyond salvation and the outcome is clear". The ICSN saw events differently however, given their refusal to surrender and take the oath to the NPO the NPO soon grew tired and lost the will to fight in the end the ICSN was still standing despite the NPO's best efforts.
Results
The new alliances resulting from this were the Socialistic Revolution Initiative, International Communist Party, Libertarian Socialist Federation, and Allied Socialist Defence Union. The ICSN was restored by Lunarsandwich and what was left of the membership. It did endure for months until it was rebuilt but decided to merge with the ICP in the name of Socialist unity.
Humiliation
For months after the war, ICSN members have been harassed and mocked incessantly on the public forums, most notably with comments such as "does the ICSN still exist" In addition, ICSN has, especially after the NPO war, been synonymous with espionage.
ICP Tensions
The ICP and ICSN already held grudges as the ICSN membership felt betrayed by what they believed to be a desertion by the members the ICP consisted of. The real conflict started when LawtonPrk, with his numerous attempts to "unite the left", tried to instigate a war with the ICSN by spying on them and falsely claiming they had plans to attack the ICP, with support from the LSF, in hopes of making the ICP attack the ICSN and LSF to make it the only socialist alliance.
Oath
Unlike those who surrendered in favour of the ICP, ICSN and LSF members didn't take the oath the New Pacific Order.
