Following its independence in [[1921]], Stenza laid claim to the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] island of [[Sudmoll]]. On a number of politically advantageous occasions, the [[Stenzan Armed Forces]] have been dispatched to occupy the island often leading to an escalation of tension between Stenza and [[Burgundie]]. There have also been a number of flashpoints between Stenzan and Sudmollese fishing and merchant fleets that have had to be broken up by the coast guards of both countries. To this day the matter remains unsettled with both nations claiming the island, but Stenza's last concerted effort to exert control over the island was in [[1984]]. | Following its independence in [[1921]], Stenza laid claim to the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] island of [[Sudmoll]].
