The Holy War of Farkistan began soon after the founding of Farkistan, when the GOONS alliance received intelligence leading them to believe that Fark leaders sought to destroy GOONS. A full-scale assault by GOONS upon Farkistani nations followed. Shortly thereafter on the 8th of January, LUE came to the aid of Farkistan leading to Great War II. Farkistan's allies in The League were defeated and the wider war soon over, but peace for Fark was denied and so Fark and GOONS remained at each other's throats.
