Seed War

Overview
The Seed War was a brief war fought between the Melorian Republic and NuclearWaste123. The Melorian Republic won and gained the Falkland Islands as a result.

Causes
Nuclear scientists had developed a new type of seed capable of surviving in any environment and offered them up for sale. The Melorian Republic purchased several. Nuclear scientists then discovered that the seeds had toxic properties and proceeded to secretly weaponize them. Some were sent to world leaders in mail, although most were caught by screening processes. The purchased seeds however released spores, causing an epidemic that killed around 2000 Melorians and thousands of Nuclear citizens. After a refusal by the Nuclear government to compensate the Melorian Republic for its losses, the Melorian  Duma declared war.

Battle
The Melorian Navy moved its Third Fleet to blockade the Falkland Islands and was successful. The Nuclear Government then issued a warning that the entire Falkland population would be killed if a foreigner set foot on the island. A single Melorian soldier, previously detained for desertion, was sent ashore, triggering a yet to be determined weapon that wiped all life from the islands. With the islands defenseless, the Melorian Army Group Alpha was sent ashore. Nuclear forces then attempted a counterattack but were repulsed by the Melorian Air Force, Navy, and shoreline defenses.

Conclusion
After a brief period of negotiations, the Nuclear government agreed to cede the Falkland Islands to the Melorian Republic in exchange for a ceasefire.

Effects
The Nuclear Government had many resignations. The Melorian Republic, hoping to restore relations, sponsored reconstruction efforts. In addition, the two nations formed the PanAt Cooperative, a military company that sells product globally. Recently, the Melorian Republic ceded half of the Falklands to Nuclear to build PanAt headquarters there.
