The Muffinese Civil War was the deadliest event in Muffinese and Belarussian history, and sixteenth overall. The war was started by the Belarussian puppet country, the Communist Republic of Muffin Island, which had the support of Belarus, China, Cuba, and many other countries. The war occurred due to the Communist Republic of Muffin Island (or CRMF) wanting to become a separate country led by the Communist Party of Muffin Island. After Muffin Island declined these requests and began to spread democracy, Belarus partnered with China, Cuba, and North Korea to launch an attack on Muffin Island.
Since the end of the war, the Palette Conflict was widely considered as the “Second Civil War.”
Pre-war tensions[]
In late 2021, Muffin Island-Belarus relations became inexistent, and the countries became enemies. The Communist Party began to gain attraction in northern Muffin Island, specifically in Allamuffin. Vincent Gagetta, a long-time supporter of the communist party, wrote a letter to Alexander Lukashenko, asking for help in a possible uprising against the Democratic Government. Lukashenko stated he would help when the time was right, and that he supported the uprising. In January of 2022, months after Gagetta wrote a letter to Lukashenko, Gagetta was elected leader of the Communist Party of Muffin Island. Following this, Gagetta traveled to Minsk to meet with Lukashenko, and they decided that the invasion would begin on April 7, 2022.
April 2022[]
On April 1, 2022, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Alexander Lukashenko, Vincent Gagetta, and Miguel Díaz-Canel met to discuss the invasion. They finally settled that they would use Cuba as their base, though the possibility of US intervention lingered around. Gagetta also spoke with the President of Algeria and Egypt, requesting their assistance. Egypt accepted the offer though Algeria declined due to their relations with Muffin Island. On April 3, Iraq announced that they would join the operation. On April 6, just a day before the invasion, three countries joined: North Korea, Nauru, and Laos, which all had a hatred of Muffin Island.
Surprise Attack[]

On April 7, Gagetta spoke to the countries in the operation, and the Communist Republic of Muffin Island declared independence from Muffin Island. Muffin Island condemned the declaration, and following that, an army of over 1 million stormed Muffinville, while naval ships attacked the coasts of Jakartan, other ships stormed North Mainland, Dania, and Bontania. The Muffinese troops stormed in 12 minutes after the attack but the combined forces of Gagetta's allies overwhelmed the Muffinese troops and they fled.
Mass evacuation and fall of the island[]

After the original attack, all states announced that everyone must evacuate to neighboring islands. Over 50 million people would leave Muffin Island in the final days, and they went to Kanai, Palette, and Allamuffin, the only places in Muffin Island that were not invaded. A hold-out occurred on Point Star and Allat, but the combination of Gagetta's allies were able to defeat the people hiding on Point Star. In Muffinia, the naval city of Melve was struck first, followed by Cash and Calla, which all fell easily. As the Communist Party pushed towards Muffinia's capital, they also pushed into Skyeasia, where the capital of the entire country was. While the government officials and citizens fled to the outer islands, the Muffinese military struggled to push into the territory controlled by the Communist Party. Muffin Island asked for assistance from their three closest allies: The United States, Canada, and Mexico. They all sent weapons to Muffin Island, but this didn't help, and the military eventually fled to Kanai.
International Response[]
Following the Fall of Muffin Island, many countries decided to release their opinions on the conflict. The United States, Canada, and Mexico eventually began sending troops to Muffin Island to defend them. NATO sent weapons and supplies to aid Muffin Island, while the European Union did the same. Iran sent weapons to Muffin Island, though Pakistan and Afghanistan sent aid to the Communist Republic of Muffin Island. Despite Russia's close relations with Belarus, they still supported Muffin Island and sent 500 troops to aid Muffin Island. Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa publicly announced their support of Muffin Island, while Mozambique, Somalia, and Tanzania stated that they support the Communist Republic.

After Muffin Island was pushed out to Kanai, Palette, and Allamuffin. Gagetta was officially "elected" as the president of Muffin Island. Following this, Muffin Island partnered with Iran, Paraguay, and the United States to develop a secret nuclear weapon. They kept this quiet until April 18, when they developed a plan. Muffin City, the most populated city, was to be bombed, and specifically, nuked. After the bomb, the Muffinese Navy would roll in and take control of the major cities, while the troops would take the country back. They carried this plan out on April 19, where they finally dropped the bomb on Muffin City. Then, the Federated States pushed the navy into the main island, and the army was able to conquer Paanaaq. Finally, Gagetta surrendered, and on April 20, the war officially ended. Gagetta was then outlawed, and Muffin Island's communist party was eliminated.
