Great Turf Wars



There were already Turf Wars dating back to 2,000 years before the current setting, perhaps either as a competitive sport or a method to settle conflicts. The first recorded Turf War occurred during a period in Inkling history with many similarities to Ancient Egypt, roughly 2,000 years before the events of Splatoon began. However, as these Turf Wars of nineteen centuries later involved the Inklings and Octarians (instead of just teams of four Inklings), it has expanded into a bigger campaign, great enough to become a historical event.

Before the Great Turf Wars, the Inklings and Octarians had "amicable relations", until the rising sea levels caused them to lash out against each other in a power struggle over the remaining land.

As time progressed, the Octarians separated themselves from the other species of the Mollusc Era. They became dissatisfied with the amount of available dry land and waged war on the Inklings, the other dominant species at the time, to gain total control of the turf.

The Octarians constructed a variety of large machines known as the Great Octoweapons and began attacking Inkling cities.

The first battles of the Great War ended in victory for the Octarian forces. The diligent Octarians easily dominated the Inklings, who were unable to wake up early enough in the morning to defend themselves.(The Inklings have long led a hedonistic style of life).

Heralded by loud explosions, the Great Octoweapons quickly stormed the Inklings' central stronghold. Victory for the Octarians seemed all but certain, but due to a plug being carelessly pulled from its socket, their hopes were dashed. Lady Luck shone down on the Inklings, and the Inklings' victory over the Octarians was most likely due to their superior number of limbs. The Inklings secured a victory in the war and forced the Octarians to retreat to underground lairs such as Octo Valley, which were constructed from the ruins of the subterranean cities built by the remnants of humanity.

The Inkling faction had a fighting force known as the Squidbeak Splatoon led by Cap'n Cuttlefish, which fought against the Octarians during the war..

Lightford isn't as progressive as depicted. Just because it excels in civil rights and freedom doesn't mean it's amongst the most liberal in the political sense. It's progressive by international standards but it's moreso average for a western country. There are full LGBT and abortion rights but Lightford is a strict country, not a easygoing one. Although school uniforms don't exist there, Lightford has one of the most conservative school dress codes as clothes must cover all torso past the elbows and knees. Which by the way disproportionately affects girls more than boys and has became an issue. While Lightford transitioned from being one of the least liberal democracies to a robust one, this change is too underwhelming to be considered a transformation. Conservative attitudes flourish in some areas. Large cities are the most liberal areas while outside of them tend to be more conservative. For example, a woman in Winterview City can wear revealing clothes freely with little risk of being judged while a woman in a small town can't dress provocatively at all and be accepted. It's sort of a culture war and Lightford is polarized.

This culture war is not really a thing in Ejoland. If a woman want to dress "provocatively", she can do so (assuming that she do not wear a uniform or something like that), with no worse reprocussion than getting looked at by straight men and possibly lesbians. Historically marginalized demographic groups usually don´t get more crap than everyone else in Ejoland - but they also can not expect any positive special treatment from throwing around "oppression points". The overwhelming majority in Ejoland frown upon identity politics.

With that said, protecting the rights of women and LGBT people is an important reason, why Ejoland is so strict on immigration. Letting in people who want to take away fundamental and obvious rights from huge parts of the population, is a bad idea, especially taken in regard how democratic the Ejolandic system of government is. Although it is good to laborate with different thoughts, ideas, and artistic expressions, it is still preferable to have the same core values. Cultural unity is a strenght.

Ejolandians typically subscribe to a materialist core philosophy. Blood mystery is seen as superstition. People´s actions matter. Skin colour do not.

Funny enough, Ejorike hold some positions that could be seen as "progressive" in the IRL Western culture war, even if it rather indisputably is a staunchly arch-conservative country. For example, immigration to Ejorike is totally unrestricted. After all, it do not really cost the King anything to have more subjects.

Another example is, how Ejorike allow almost all drugs, because it is so old-fashioned.

Ey Ejoland, I have a question for you.

What would the position of the Ejorikean National Front to the detentè that would have taken place between Qassadia and Ejorike in 2014 historically , thanks to a tireless effort by Qassadian diplomats, the Ambassador to Ejorike and their colleagues from the other side - a quest began in the final years of Emperor Charles’ reign to mend a lingering underbelly of hostility that persisted under the surface, especially on the part of the Ejorikean nobility towards Cassadia due to obvious reasons.

I would really like to know , as much as anyone else here - how would the many political factions those that are illegal especially; perceive this restoration of normal bilateral ties, deeper economic trade as well as the establishment of a military alliance under the current monarch, Empress Relena von Peacekraft.

Would most of these factions view Cassadia’s efforts as a malicious intent to appropriate Ejorike as a vassal state, through what are essentially bribes and debt traps of economic aid, direct investments, loans, military equipment donations and priority status arms sales?

Keep in mind what I listed often comes with a caveat of catches in the terms both sides would agreed to have Ejorike be recipients of these generous financial, economic and military material dividends.

(I'm back - it's been like 2 months)
So do you guys have imagination of you as a Leader (physical appearance and character)? Is it different from you irl?

welcome back.
my leader is very different to myself, im a 5'4" overweight transman. my leader, The Grand Monarch Antane IX, is much older than I am (I'm 17, he's around 40). While I don't have specifics on physical appearance, he is much taller and in better shape than I am.

For character, he is definitely more charismatic than I am. There is a cult of personality around Antane, perhaps not as intense as say Kim Jong Un but it is definitely there. He is also more well spoken than I am. In terms of ideals though, he represents some of my values but taken far more extreme, although I am not up for a discussion about my own values.

Cassadian Royal Family Fact of The Day: Relena and especially her younger sister are big fans of Bryan Adams. This deep affinity for the Canadian singer was borne out of their parents, especially Empress Marianne, their mother, being a fan herself.

Ejorike, Adams would have definitely staged a mini-concert for the occasion regar the successfully arranged marriage between Rolo Von Peacekraft and Klara Lejon at the private party.

The General Reconnaissance Bureau, “handled the logistics” of bringing this legendary singer into the the Holy Kingdom, considered an international pariah by the larger international community.

The GRB kidnapped him :)

ENF might be a bit divided about it. On one hand, there was a war against Qassadia, and chavunistic nationalists may find it difficult to just leave that in the past. On the other hand, not even they can deny that Qassadia is a natural ally against those horrible filthy communists. So I think they accept it, although with mixed feelings.

The Ejorikean political establishment is happy with the arrangment. Qassadia is a fellow monarchy, in a world filled with various democracies and socialist-leaning nations. It is not the first time former enemies have put their old greviences aside, to become allies.

To the communists, liberals and anarchists, this is just enemies sticking together. Not much more to say there.

The faction which is most outraged by this new friendship with Qassadia, is EFF. With the same level of chavunistic nationalism as ENF, but not the same support for the King, they view these new ties with Qassadia as something truly evil and disgusting.

Keep in mind that many of their rank-and-file members would have been veterans of that conflict. Not to mention that probably their top leadership could have been likewise as the rest of their membership rooster.

Many former military servicemen who returned from a war that their country did not exactly get anything out of - furthermore a war that was technically lost as they did not achieve any of their objectives.

I’d say they would have opposed the mending of lingering hostilities between Cassadia and Ejorike.

What would they had expected to ever get out of the war? The Ejorikean demands from the very beginning, was about compensation for the effected nobles. ENF never had any particular interest for Brasilistan. Any continuation of the hostilities, would just be about saving face. And sure, they probably grumped a bit. I said they have mixed feelings about it. ENF would certainly not had objected, if Maxim had just asked Relena to **** off.

Although they might have been too caught up in the entire thing to realize it during the war, many of ENF´s war veterans probably made a sigh of relief afterwards, that they did not manage to conquer Brasilistan. After all, Brasilistan have a substantional population Brasilistanis. Some of these would probably had been moved north to Ejoic soil, had they came under Ejorikean authority.

For one: they would have gotten access to a piece of land that would provide about 35% of Krillin's crude oil and refined petroleum products for one including an equal amount of natural gas reserves, all of which many of whom of the Ejorikean Nobility would with no doubt in my mind, would have wanted each to get a piece of these profitable natural resources; the pipelines, oil-well, terminals, refineries - everything. Hence why Cassadia put up such fierce resistance to Ejorike's invasion even when its Armed Forces were on a very serious backfoot at the early stages of the war.

But the Cassadians would have had their own terms to set on the table for the Ejorikeans to agree upon in exchange for the cessation of hostilities - the prime condition being that Ejorike admit that certain members of their Nobility had financed jihadist terrorists which set the ground for a potential war.

Keep in mind, that Cassadia's armed forces had pushed the Ejorike's army back to the borders between Ejorike and the Cassadian overseas territorial possession - dare I say that the Cassadians even advanced slightly into Ejorikean territory at several sectors along the frontline. Maybe because on those points that the advance had happened, the Royal Land Forces rolled over Ejorikean majority-conscript military formations were units that were in open mutiny against their superior officers and, in turn, against the King.

We talk about a piece of land filled with brown people here! ENF are super racist - the idea of even one more non-white person putting their foot in New Ejoland, is highly unpalatable to them. Keeping their lands as "pure" as possible is more important to ENF, than economic gain. And, taken in regard that New Ejoland is close to Brasilistan, I would assume that there is at least a little oil also in New Ejoland. So the obvious desire for autarky would not play in so much here.

Things would come in another light, if ENF actually was in charge of Ejorike. In that case, they could aim to use Brasilistan as a dumping ground for any ethnicities they don´t want in their own country, while ensuring that no non-whites where allowed to move from Brasilistan to Ejorike proper.
