The Chilled War

The Chilled War is the contemporary name for a period of geopolitical tension between The Floracratic Republic of Pua and The People's Floracracy of Pua and their respective allies.
The term chilled war is used because there has been no large scale direct conflict between the two blocs.

Origins of the term

The term chilled war was coined by the General Secretary of East Pua, Peaches to describe the, presently, non-violent nature of the conflict. It is a play on the term cold war describing the same sort of non-violent political conflict between states or blocs.

Background

Following the collapse of the Blossomic Empire of Pua during The 23 Minute War there was an armistice between the remaining opposition forces. The two major groups found little common ground in decisions regarding the governance of the newly independent states and thus focused on consolidating power in their respective territories. The battle in Ŋerlin was even to the extent that neither group could gain a significant enough foothold before the collapse that both powers decided to form a condominium of the city until they could determine the eventual border.

Beginning of the Chilled War

The Puan Peace Accord, following the Scramble for Murbetia and mutual Puan expansion, brokered an official armistice between the two Puas that solidified the borders regarding Ŋerlin and the ownership of Pistil Island. The Ŋerlin Wall began construction splitting the former capital in half, crossing the location of the former city hall which was heavily damaged in the civil war.
