The R&R-COMECON War began as a tech raid by R&R on the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA, later COMECON). CMEA had been a previous alliance populated by members of R&R, and they asked R&R government to vacate the CMEA AA. Diplomacy was first tried to no avail. Many on the new CMEA changed the AA abbreviation to COMECON; however, gorbachov, the leader of CMEA/COMECON, would not relinquish the title. On August 31, 2013, gobachov posted a DoE on the OWF proclaiming the AA as Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.
