The Franco-German Border Dispute

The Franco-German Border Dispute is, at time of writing, a settled border dispute between German states and the Kingdom of France.

Beginnings

To prevent any border disputes to ever happen with neighbors, France, via council member, IssouAF, signs 2 borders treaties with Hannover and Belgium 2 days after the server opens. Both sides agree on the border drawn on a map. These treaties satisfy everyone and start shaping the European geopolitical game

The dispute

The first dispute happens when French player start to notice user AFlamingMatress building by the French Meuse river on the 1st of September. Immediately French king JosephouLeFouFou and member IssouAF start telling AFlamingMatress that he is building in France but are ignored. After a few discussions by vocal chats with AFlamingMatress showing it is in Germany, he applies for an organisation named the Commercial State of Teutonic Koln at 4:44am (BST) on the 3rd of September 2021. On the same day, before the application, French member IssouAF is sent by his king to destroy any attempt from AFlamingMatress to build a border that doesn't suits France. This results in the removal of the stone brick, plank and cobblestone border. It also results in 8 deaths of AFlamingMatress, the death of IssouAF, the gain of 2 inventories of building ressources for France and the gain of 16 ender pearls for AFlamingMatress. That same afternoon, french forces rally in group chats to find military maps, historical records, topographic and hydrographic maps delivered by the French state and the European Union. They are convinced that this land is French so must stay French. Two French that are especially good at maths Maxoum83 and UnLama_ use advanced trigonometry to draw the border on the dynmap block by block. At the same time the king of France collects all the evidence for AFlamingMatress and IssouAF starts getting everyone ready for the next's day military occupation of Koln.

JosephouLeFouFou, king of France, sends all the evidence to AFlamingMatress and sends him a 24 hours ultimatum to leave the area.

Germany has also threatened military action if France does not back down.
