The Lobards is an archipelago of the New Scandinavian mainland. The islands are under the government of the united socialist states of Linthopia (USSL) since a few years back, when the local government suffered an economical collapse.
Now, the Lobards suddently crave their independence once again. Appearently they feel they have recovered from their economical crisis, and that USSL has no rights to keep the islands.
The USSL did what they always do when things need solving, they held an election! The question: Do you feel that the Lobards should be indepent. The outcome: NO!
This didn't suffice in the eyes of the lobardians, who a month later declared independence from the USSL, and handed over a declaration of war.
The USSL answered with a denial of the declaration of independence, and opened negotiations. These broke up quickly, however, as the governemtn of the Lobardian Islands put the diplomats from the USSL in to prison as prisoners of war.
Now, things are looking pretty bad over in New Scandinavia. The USSL have mobilized their troops and are loading the troop ships, while the Free Lands of the Lobardian Islands have tightened defences all over the coasts.
What will this lead to? How will the outside world react?
