UN-RTA War

The UN-RTA War, also referred to as World War One, was the first major global conflict on the Norssex Minecraft server. The war spanned nearly a month, from March 1st, 2021 to the RTA surrender on March 24th, 2021. The war resulted in the Fall of the Round Table Alliance (RTA) and began the United Nations' (UN) rise to power.

On March 1st, 2021. Two users by the names of RandovMan and DeadboiRay had executed their planned wedding (It was hetero, don't worry) in France that had been hyped up for a few days by the community. During the wedding, a bomb was set off under some seats that was intended to kill many UN Members. Even before the wedding, the RTA and UN had very sour relations with each other. When the bombs went off, many were killed, this is what led to Scotland and the rest of the RTA declaring open conflict against Greater Arkansas. Minutes later, Good_Old_Rickets, who was a fond friend of Flamin_Bananas, the leader of the UN and Greater Arkansas, decided that the Pirate Republic were to join sides with their brothers. Later, they got boats and boated all the way to Dublin, Ireland to convince RandovMan, the leader of Ireland, to join the side of the UN. Since Randy had wanted a United Ireland and the fact that Ulster had still been in Scottish rule, Randy joined the side of the UN. Aced_Water, another member of the UN, decided to stay neutral during most of the conflict. As well as Diam and Pomerania not joining the war at all.

Battle of Fort Caroline
The Battle of Fort Caroline was the first major battle of the war. The RTA have claimed victory on the battle, but many speculate otherwise. During which the UN planned an actual attack form, but since there was an experienced Skywars player, everyone had fought like it was an Anarchy server. This battle made Ace decide his side in the war, and he joined the side of the UN.

The Battle happened at a Fort near the shore of Wilmington, North Carolina and a UN campsite at Richmond. After the battle, the area has become a historical site and a exhibit of the UN. The war had quieted down quite a lot after the battle, many speculate it was because the RTA was building a fort in Iowa, but also because everyone got bored.

The Silence
The Silence was a 20 day period of limited military operations during the war. A time where Map Art was at it's peak in popularity and distribution and Fireballs being added to the server, in which it's explosive properties were found and patched a month later. Alcoholic beverages were added to the server with the brewery plugin. Other notable things include Gilliams the Cat being killed and the opening of the Casino in France, which Randy and Aces later robbed in an attempt to get funds for the UN. During this time, terrorism was at it's all-time high. The Country that suffered the most from terrorist activity was Ireland, with the March 21st Bombing of the Irish Trade Center being one of the worst.

Battle of the UN Building
After about 20 days of the war being quiet, the two sides were in the UN Building trying to decide on a settlement for the war. The UN had better leverage in the negotiations as there were more of them in the war. The Round Table did not agree to the demands put forth by the UN. This caused an impasse between the two groups. The battle began when Bananas of the UN said "I guess we fuck him over then." It was a three-on-one with the odds against the RoundTable, consisting of only Ray. It was a quick battle as Ray died quickly even though Bananas was killed twice. Then the UN celebrated the battle by going to the Drunken Celt Pub in Ireland.

Battle of the Tower and the Fall of the RTA
The Battle of the Tower was the last notable battle during the war. The Battle resulted in UN Victory, and a couple hours later, the RTA officially surrendered and blew up their own building. The United Nations officially won the war.

After the war, Scotland had disbanded and become the United Cities which was later renamed to Wessex. The Rising Dragon hasn't been active ever since the Battle of Fort Caroline and nobody really knows what had happened to it afterwards. Flapjacks, the Malaysian Nation, had betrayed Ray in the process and tried many times to backstab them, but Joshie occasionally hops on the server to see current events. Tintistan had actually been still fighting even after the war ended, with the many incidents at the Strait of Gibraltar. A month after Paris was bombarded by the UN, Ace had bought France from Pomerania and it stirred up a bit of confusion. Although Ace and Randy built another UN Building in France, it seems like another war is likely, but it won't be as global.
