Despite Vithinja being in a political crisis before the start of the [[Second Great War]] it reacted immedietly when Fanerian troops invaded Caergwynn once more, and was thus pulled into the conflict. | |||
Most of the land war for Vithinja was a constant stream of supplying reinforcements and arms to the Caeric frontline, helping hold off the Fanerian advance from reaching the capital like they had done 30 years earlier. The Vithinjan and Caeric armies have functioned well together since even before the two nation became allies, with the Caeric armed forces focusing on larger-scale effective defense and slow but highly effective strategic decisions. This melded well with Vithinjan small-scale aggression, targetting of supply-lines and officers and general harassment and other tactics which focus on destroying the enemies morale. | |||
For Vithinja the main part of the war was the naval conflict. Whilest in the short-term losing their fleet in the last great war was a great wound, it allowed them to reform and rebuild their navy to be far more useful in modern warfare. As the last war had displayed that they may no longer be able to match their opponents in straight-up fights, simply being outproduced by larger nations, the Vithinjan navy focused on the part of their navy that had survived the last war and remained operational through the Borean War: the Submariners. The strategy for their naval forces was simple: Deny any attempts to gain naval power in the Vithinjan straight and the Borean homelands through the extensive use of mine layers, coastal batteries, support from the air force and most of all through submarine wolfpack tactics. Once this was assured, submarine operations would be expanded to the entire Kilikas sea, mainly targeting any attempts to convoy supplies to the hostile Faneria from their allies. | |||
Vithinja also focused heavily on improving their radio technology to ensure that the command chain could communicate more effectively. This was mainly as to allow higher level officers to learn what their subordinates are actually doing, as the Vithinjan army heavily encouraged individualism among it's officers, allowing them to make their own choices for what is best in most operations. | |||
Vithinja would find themselves regaining most of their lost territories from Faneria at the end of the conflict, although many were upset with how the territory was divided with Caergwynn as before the Borean Republic Vithinja had held far more of the island territories. | |||
Peace was however not on the horizon for Vithinja quite yet, as the government held little legitimacy and had only survived as long as it did thanks to the war breaking out. A severe civil conflict was brewing, with both more progressive and more reactionary elements hoping to secure control of the nations leadership. Many experts at the time, both foreign and local, expected the nation to fracture completely, with too much hostilities existing between the various ideological and religious groups. | |||
=== The Syndicalization === | === The Syndicalization === | ||
As protests and rioting started to become commonplace in most Vithinjan cities in the mid 40s, it seemed certain a civil war was looming. The three strongest militant factions at the time was the Reds, a collection of mainly militant socialists wishing to create a Democratic socialist republic, the Blacks, who was mainly a mixture of nationalist and royalist elements mainly supported by the Church to recreate the Vithinjan kingdom, and finally the Whites, a catholic-nationalistic mainly Guerig faction with some Caeric elements that mainly wished to split the nation in two and allow the Guerigs to have their own nation for the first time since before the Reformation. Of these three the Reds was by far the most powerful, holding substantial support from foreign elements while also being greatly popular among most city-dwellers in the nation. Only one of these factions would truly maintain themselves past the next year. | |||
This civil conflict would be avoided through the most surprising of happenstances: the friendship of two very popular political figures. A lone young prince far from being the next in line for the throne together with a popular but controversial figure within the Reds would utilize each other as informants to undermine many of the main leaders within both the Red and Black movements. Through this process they were able to reshape both. The Reds would be focused more on a strange new Syndicalist idea and have their hostility turned mostly away from the Royals instead focusing it on the rich capitalistist of the nation. Meanwhile the more aggressive nationalist element within the royalist would be compared to the Whites they fought, branded as a group that would ensure the splintering of the nation. Most importantly of all, the young prince would challange the heir for the right of succession, and win. To this day it is a quite controversial subject as many historians, especially foreign once, believe the young prince to have cheated somehow. In the end though, their schemes would pay off, as they got control of the Red and Black factions allowing them to reach their ultimate goal: Peace. The two would meet officially together with most other important figures of both sides and attempt to figure out a way for each to work with the other. It took over a week of arguing just to get the group to agree that this would even be possible, but over the next months they would work out an agreement that everyone could accept. This was being done at the same time as their followers rose up and took over the government and the White faction was defeated by the much more numerous and powerful alliance. The deal that was finally made would become the new Vithinjan constitution and always be known under a single name: The Vithinjan Compromise. | |||

Vithinjas varied geography is both a blessing and a curse. Although large portions of the lands are difficult to impossible to inhabit, they hold some of the most beautiful landmarks to be found in the world. Between the innumerable fjords covering the coast to the northern villages surrounded by the sights of huge tall mountain ranges, large glaciers that glimmer in the sunlight and if any visitor is lucky, the wondrous northern lights. This would make it a better tourist location if the temperature didn't drive most foreigners away. | Vithinjas varied geography is both a blessing and a curse.
