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

Sequoyan prime minister Diwali Ustya dominated the country's politics throughout the 1940s and 1950s.

The military dictatorship of Sequoyah led by Divisional General Wohali Cowesco allowed for a transition to democracy in 1942 following Liberal Revolution. The reformist Democratic Party won the following year's presidential and parliamentary elections; Onaconi Wesa was elected President and Diwali Ustya was elected Prime Minister. Throughout the rest of the 1940s and 1950s, Ustya dominated Sequoyan politics and ruled the Third Republic as a personalist dictator.

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.
