Events[]

The Separation of the Sisters: The Kingdom of Zarkania-Westland is dissolved after a little over 100 years following a Plebiscite by Westland to address the concerns of the nation's increasing numbers of pro-independence nationalists. Many Zarkanian nationalists long for the return of Zarkania-Westland, and have irredentist views on the kingdom.
The Kingdom of Westland joins the Union of Earth States as a independent nation.
New Westland Uprising: A number of angered Zarkanian nationalists, disaffected with the break-up of Zarkania-Westland, begin an uprising in the newly independent Westland's colony of Nye Vestland (New Westland), forming the self-declared Southern New Zarkanian Republic (SNZR).
The Southern New Zarkanian Republic issues a constitution, declaring themselves entirely independent of all foreign powers, though maintaining friendly relations with their mother country, the Zarkan Kingdom.
Formation of the Motherland Faction within the SNZR, who seek to join the Zarkan Empire as a semi-autonomous region.
The SNZR is crushed by Westland, almost causing a war between Westland and the Zarkan Kingdom, who relaxes her position after being reminded that Westland was merely putting down an unlawful rebellion.
Discontinuation of the Number 9 ion hand cannon by Ionix Combat Systems.
