=== Post-civil war Rakeo ===


The [[Creeperian Civil War]] which lasted from 1933 with the [[San Salvador del Norte Incident]] until 1949 with the [[Battle of the Zapatista River]] drastically shifted the dynamics of [[Sur]]ian geopolitics. An estimated 41.2 million people died during the war and the war is well-known for the various war crimes committed throughout the duration of the war by both the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] (Miguelists) and the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] (Romerists), most infamously the [[De-Catholization]], a genocide and ethnocide of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]], [[Salvadorans]], and political [[Romerism|Romerists]].  
The end of the [[Rakeoian Civil War]] in 1955 saw the parliamentary government collapse, a [[Stratocratic Authority|military dictatorship]] secure power, and the rise of pseudo-legal [[Directory of Internal Affairs of Rakeo|paramilitary groups]]. A program of full independence, to be achieved through near complete isolationism, was instituted by [[Mateo Jozefo]] in 1956. Almost immediately, the Rakeoian economy began to falter. A lack of coal imports plunged millions of people in [[Rakeo]] into darkness, stalled industries, and fields previously used for profitable exports went fallow. As a consequence, the remaining industries were pushed by the government to become more productive.


After the end of the war and the execution of several high-ranking National Council leaders, various far-left partisan groups formed in [[Partisan Resistance (Creeperopolis)|continued resistance]] against the newly formed government of the victorious Imperial Council. The civil war forced both sides of the conflict to drastically increase the size of the military, and by the end of the war, an estimated 23.5 million people fought in during the war in the military. After the war, the government of the Imperial Council weilded a military force of 5.9 million soldiers, and because of the ongoing partisan resistance and [[Third Senvarian War]],{{efn|name="TSI"|The Third Senvarian War began in 1934 when the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] (SKBF) formed and joined the National Council in opposition to the Imperial Council. After the National Council fell, the SKBF refused to surrender and continued to fight against the government of the Imperial Council.}} the Creeperian government decided to retain a large military to combat internal rebel forces. Because of the vast size of the [[Creeperian Armed Forces]], Creeperopolis was considered to be the strongest nation in Sur in terms of military power, especially after the annexation of the kingdoms of [[Kingdom of Atlántida|Atlántida]] and [[Castilliano (Kingdom)|Castilliano]] in December 1949.
As political turmoil damaged more energy dependent sectors, fishing maintained profitability, and a record number of fishing vessels were deployed. When the agriculture sector rebounded, the price of fish fell considerably. In response, fishers began to search for better waters to fish in.
 
Despite the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand|massacre of seven thousand]] partisan rebels in April 1957 ending the partisan resistance and the decrease fighting against Senvarian rebels, Creeperopolis continued to maintain a large military which caused concern among Creeperopolis' neighboring nations fearing potential Creeperian expansionist ambitions. Such fears were reinforced when the [[Creeperian Army]] was mobilized into [[El Salvador]] in 1956 to suppress a [[Salvadoran Revolution of 1956|rebellion]] against the [[Salvadoran Provisional Government of National Accord|government]] there.

The Surian Fishing War,[lower-alpha 1] sometimes referred to in academia as the Sequoyan–Rakeoian War or the Creeperian–Rakeoian War, was a conflict fought between the Surian nations of Sequoyah, Rakeo, and Creeperopolis between 1960 and 1962 in the Asequi Channel, Senvarian Sea, and Southern Ocean.

The war began on 13 March 1959 after the Asequi Channel massacre when the Rakeoian Navy killed many Sequoyan fishermen as a result of a fishing rights dispute between Sequoyan and Rakeoian fishers in the Asequi Channel which began earlier in the year.

Name

Background

Post-civil war Rakeo

The end of the Rakeoian Civil War in 1955 saw the parliamentary government collapse, a military dictatorship secure power, and the rise of pseudo-legal paramilitary groups. A program of full independence, to be achieved through near complete isolationism, was instituted by Mateo Jozefo in 1956. Almost immediately, the Rakeoian economy began to falter. A lack of coal imports plunged millions of people in Rakeo into darkness, stalled industries, and fields previously used for profitable exports went fallow. As a consequence, the remaining industries were pushed by the government to become more productive.

As political turmoil damaged more energy dependent sectors, fishing maintained profitability, and a record number of fishing vessels were deployed. When the agriculture sector rebounded, the price of fish fell considerably. In response, fishers began to search for better waters to fish in.

Third Republic of Sequoyah

1950s in Creeperopolis

Throughout the 1950s, the Creeperian government led by Emperor Romero I engaged in counterinsurgent warfare against remnants of the communist National Council for Peace and Order of the Creeperian Civil War (1933–1949) as well as the self-proclaimed Kingdom of Senvar. The communist Partisan Resistance was defeated by 1957 but the Third Senvarian War continued to be fought by the start of the 1960s.
