Mecudial Civil War

The Mecudial Civil War is an ongoing multi-sided civil war between the Mecudial Holy Kingdom and several anti-government groups

Mecudial Republic
The Mecudial Republic, ever since its foundation, has been home to wildly different political opinions, ranging from hardline conservative viewpoints to liberalism, one such internal faction within the state was the Popular Radical Party (Mecudia), a far-left socialist party, which was first represented in parliament in the 1887 Mecudial legislative election.

In 1891 it formed a coalition with the Socialist Union, making it part of the government and granting it a majority in 1891 Mecudial legislative election.

The PRP remained in power until the dissolution of the Mecudial Republic. Its government saw many reforms and new construction projects in Mecudia, which improved living standards.

During the Subtorian War, the PRP's chairman Zečten Nako fought alongside the Mecudial army soldiers, his death during the Siege of Namoduz caused disarray within the party, which led to them fleeing to the mountainous area of southeast Mecudia. Ever since their retreat, they have reformed themselves and became more radical, embracing a more radical version of Ečkem Hitzevin's Hitzevinist Socialism.

In 1899, they dissolved the PRP and formed the Workers' Popular Army.

Mecudial Holy Kingdom
Shortly after the official surrender of the Mecudial Republic, many groups formed all of whom shared anti-Aurissiote and anti-Pasian sentiments.

Most groups dissolved the following year, and only 3 came on top, the Workers' Popular Army, New Three Swords Movement and Free Republican Army.

The New Three Swords Movement is made up of the radical parts of the Three Swords Movement and the far-right party Jetradi. Its beliefs include the irredentist Greater Mecudia Idea, Iproč Theory, anti-Pasianism, anti-Aurissiotism, and ultranationalism.

The NTSM fought the temporary Mecudial Guards, which gave them operation capabilities in the forests of the south, and are fighting against the Clerical Guards.

The Free Republican Army is pro-republic, anti-Pasian and comprises the 1st and 2nd Mecudial "Lucijan" divisions, which have escaped to northern Szespin following the Mecudial Republic's surrender to the Wind-Rose Entente.

On 1 September 1902, it entered Mecudial territory and pushed the Mecudial Guards from the Szescil border, effectively cutting it from Szespin.

Pre-combat timeline
In 1899, the Workers' Popular Army was officially formed as a direct continuation of the Popular Radical Party. Its members were much more radical and intolerant than the PRP.

In 1900, after the Mecudial surrender to the Rose-Wind Entente, the 1st and 2nd Mecudial "Lucijan" divisions stationed in northern Lucija united and fled to Szespin, forming the Free Republican Army.

Just as with the FRA, two additional groups were formed following the Mecudial surrender, Liberation Front and Greater Mečudia League.

Due to similar ultranationalist beliefs, they united and in 1901 formed the New Three Swords Movement.

Mecudial Guards
The Mecudial Guards were a temporary force of Mecudial soldiers created following the signing of the Treaty of Basarrik between the Wind-Rose Entente and Mecudia.

Though well-equipped, they were largely unorganized and untrained. Mecudial Guards would only be taught basic training by pro-clergy military officers, notably Marlaz Eračtel, who was a Subtorian War veteran.

In November 1901, fighting would begin across southern Mecudia, with the Free Republican Army, headed by the former Mecudial president's brother, Jenar Hitzevin.

Due to superior firepower and being veterans of the Subtorian War, they would capture the Mecudial portion of the border with Szespin, creating a FRA stronghold in the region.

In December of the same year, the NTSM would finally begin its operations in southern Mecudia, specifically the forested regions, as it was tough for the Mecudial Guards to patrol and protect.

The NTSM would launch several attacks against Mecudial Guards positions and eventually at the end of the month it would complete its first operation when it pushed the Guards out of the local region.

Just as the NTSM has done, in the southeast of the country, the entrenched Workers' Popular Army began their operations against the Guards, which saw them (Guards) pushed away from the mountains.

Clerical Guards
On July 23, 1902, the Mecudial Guards were officially dissolved in a speech by Supreme Leader Regničen Gatzert of the Mecudial Holy Kingdom and instead were re-organized to the Clerical Guards, they are better trained, better organized, and still equipped with modern equipment.

For 6 months after its creation, no group tried any large operations, minor convoy attacks did take place. That would all change on January 1, 1903, when the Workers' Popular Army began two attacks against the Mecudial Clerical Guards.

The 1st attack was a major success for the WPA, completely pushing the Clerical Guards out and re-linking their forces with little to no resistance. The 2nd attack eventually evolved into a battle at the Orazel Monastery, which again, the WPA won and saw its positions get closer to the city of Čoncinal.

Small exchanges of fire have been reported between the FRA, NTSM and the Mecudial Clerical Guards, some are suspecting that they are planning a future operation against the Mecudial Holy Kingdom, while the WPA still continues with their renewed operation.
