-[D-Day -57 years] End of the Great War, Noravea gains some land from Cartania without opposition for it was on the winning side alongside with Laurentia while Northland remained Neutral. Noravea however, had been promised much more but is pressured by the Allied Nations to back down.

-[D-Day -54 years] Insatisfaction from the outcome of the war becomes unrest after a terrible harvest. Elections bring about many parties with few seats and a coalition isn't able to form. Two other elections are held in 7 months with the same results. The King dissolves parliament and brings in the army.

-[D-Day -53 years] The King and his family are killed in a coup. Colonel Martelus, Bornel and Gray march on the capital and declare a temporary military Junta while order is re-established, military intervention from Cartania to regain its land ends with retreat after a month due to international pressure.

-[D-Day -50 years] Martelus signs peace with an independent Wilhelmsland, a month later he has Bornel executed and tries to do the same with now General Crimson Gray to declare himself Supreme General. Gray's men prove too loyal however and Gray marches on the capital, declaring himself Supreme General instead and vows to retake Wilhelmsland after Martelus committed treason by granting its independence, war continues.

-[D-Day -47 years] The war ends with Wilhelmsland surrendering Taralba and Eastwood, but existing still. With Noravea exhausted from the war, it calls it a victory.

-[D-Day -20 years] Oil is found off the shore of Pleuria.

-[D-Day -17 years] Enriched and rearmed with the discovery of oil, Gray goes to another war with Wilhelmsland, now under the leadership of the son of the first President for Life that liberated the province first. The war is swift and ends after a series of major engagement while the advance stops at Southport. Wilhelmsland knew prolongation of the war could only end badly and Noravea prefered to end it quickly as it still had the Allied Nations breathing down its neck. Trade Sanctions begin to rain after that.

-[D-Day -8 years] Gray starts its program of weapons of mass destruction alongside ballistic missiles to deliver them, the Allied Nations send another wave of sanctions isolating Noravea even more.

-[D-day -9 months] A very bad harvest once again destabilizes the country, sanctions preventing it from buying food on the international markets.

-[D-Day -7 weeks] The harvest is terrible for a second year running and people riot in the streets, it takes 4 bloody weeks to put down the revolution, the 'Four Weeks of Crimson'.

-[D-Day -4 days] The Allied Nation security council manages to pass a resolution: 'Gray must surrender any chemical weapons, accept investigators to look for WMDs and war crimes and step down from power to hold free elections under the watch of international observers within seven days, or else.' The PCA and the FRE, through one of its member states, permanent members of the security council of the Allied Nations accept with the mention that this isn't a hidden trigger for war but the LSS and its main ally the GBU certainly don't act like it, moving forces to the countries around Noravea.

-[D-Day -??] It's been 4 days since the AN made its ultimatum and there will be 3 more until it expires. The reservists are mobilized and at the ready for a war that seems inevitable. The war will probably be in more than those 3 days however, the time the AN actually decides something, the wheels of democracies turn and so forth.
