	When the first signs of the UIF return coming in the form of massive spacecraft from Eve, the Zokesian government went on high alert. The Imperial Continuity Army and Nautilus-Laveskan Commonwealth soon came to a summit to reform the UIF and reclaim their homeland from the Arcadian Ultranationalists, who had led a brutal anti-imperium propaganda campaign for decades in the former Aenian states. War broke out in 2147, and soon all Zokesian naval assets were directed towards the Tau sea to support the UIF's naval assets in the region and contain Arcadian sea assets, in preparation for a land campaign on Arcadia proper.[[File:MOSHED-2021-7-30-22-14-26.jpg\|thumb\|Z-80Es down Sahren jets over Bastia, 2147.]]		When the first signs of the UIF return coming in the form of massive spacecraft from Eve, the Zokesian government went on high alert.

	The surviving members of the Royal House I'l Sil of Puge-Tatar returned to Wardia in 2169 to guide the troubled state in pushing back the violence that was stemming over the border from Pan-Vanadia. With funding from the Zokeisan central bank, the new Wardian Puge-Tatar hired the Stahlsieg once again at the lament of the Zokesians. The Stahlsieg enacted a great campaign of cleansing accross Nuvastia and Pan-Vanadia, initially sweeping accross the great deserts in five long years of fighting before ruling the provinces with an iron fist of terror, collecting taxes on bloody raids from town to town. By 2176, the state of Greater Puge-Tatar had been formed and stretched 50km east and 40 km north of its old borders, and its influence reached deep into the heart of the desert. On paper, the Zokesian Confederacy still controlled the Kolus desert, but many tribes answer to either the Stahlsieg, the Putaryans, or Zokesia, but are mutually exclusive. Trade convoys are armored and villages are walled to prevent raids, and much of the Zokesian national guard is stationed in the desert to keep trade open to key cities.[[File:ZokeScreenshot2010.png\|thumb\|[[OS-57 Valk]] makes its maiden flight opening a new era of Zokesian spaceflight, 2195.]]		The surviving members of the Royal House I'l Sil of Puge-Tatar returned to Wardia in 2169 to guide the troubled state in pushing back the violence that was stemming over the border from Pan-Vanadia.

General Gratz was still the President, but their ideological push toward non-interventionism and self-reliance led many to join their side, and as 2175 came about they won a narrow election, 44%-40% against the Zokesian Royal Party.

	In the west, Stahlsieg aircraft hit hard the Kafrican units along the western border. Z-80s, ZH-66 DAP attack helos ripped into the tanks. In the east, the Zokesian Marine Corps struck at Kafrican tanks, their Z-40 Harriers performing low altitude precision bombing runs on heavily defended targets, taking horrific losses. The Zokesian Marine Corps lost 10 Harriers and 20 ZAH-1s at the cost of 50-60 enemy tanks. One Z-40 pilot, 1st LT Carmen Nadon, took heavy fire and resulted in the loss of the engine of the Harrier. Instead of ditching, 1st LT Nadon flew her crippled Z-40 into the flak again, dropping the rest of her ordinance and destroying two enemy tanks before bailing out. Recovered by friendly forces but badly burned, 1st LT Carmen Nadon was awarded the Ellanic Cross, the nation's highest award for Valor in combat. By the end of the Operation, Red Rocket had accounted for nearly 60 enemy ground units, 2 factories, and the capture of Diosca and her vital airport. The air campaign by Zokesia crippled Blimp Drimp's ability to wage war on the ground. Through Naval air power, supported by Air Force SEAD assets, the Zokesian bombing campaign made steady progress in destroying tanks, antiair sites, and Short Range Air defense.

		+	==== Solarian Support for Faucks ====
		+	In a shocking turn of events, in 2206 Solarian Paramount Leader Ortusius Kerman has publicly announced Solaria's support for drimp at a press conference earlier today. "The Solarian people have been deeply moved by President Drimp's strong patriotism and nationalistic spirit. We are extremely saddened to see the aggression of Zokesia against such a righteous man. Our hearts are with Drimp in this conflict and we will offer unconditional support for our dear friend." On a completely unrelated note, pallets of gold ingots have been observed being unloaded from military transport aircraft at Faira Airbase. Various Solarian officials have voiced disapproval and disappointment in Ortusius's decision to side with Drimp, with Faira's mayor having been quoted as saying, "I don't know why he's thrown our nation behind that raging lunatic, this is suicide!" He has not been seen publicly since. At the same time, 110 Hearthian aircraft previously in storage were been hijacked and reported to be flying towards Kafrica.

		+	==== Drive On Sopost ====
	Throughout the early months of 2207 saw the combined forces of Kafrica and the Stahlsieg slowly ground twoard the rebel capital of Sopost. Though weather was rough for most of the winter, by April the skies had cleared and it was becoming increasingly clear Drimp's forces were massing for one final battle in the south.

 In the command center of Naval Air Station Fournloke, Vice Admiral John Hershen went over the final touches on the operation. A pre-emptive retaliatory strike to decapitate Kafrican warfighting and prevent invasion of Chikushinal. It was unknown if the Air Force had also defected with Drimp but John "Mad Sahren" Hershen was taking no chances. In 30 minutes, operations would commence. Operation Red Rocket began in the dawn hours, with KZ-20J AWACS and EF-4 Skyshields took up stations over Task Force 91, as Z-41s and Z-81s of VFQ-103 "Jolly Rogers" and VFA-32 "Bombcats" roard into the morning sky. B-52s from NAS Fournloke split into groups of 5 and began tracking east and west, covered by Z-41s of VFQ-6 "Vipers". First Blood went to the 20 Z-81 Boggers attacking Diosca International Airport. Encountering no hostile aircraft, the Z-41s flew topcover as the Boggers bored in, unleashing AGM-65 ER standoff precision weapons, eliminating anti-air defenses and damaging the airbase, though not enough to render it inoperative. The capture of Diosca International was performed by the 21st Airborne, inserting Special forces onto the island and securing the airbase for Zokesian use. The 10 B-52s lined up on their targets. Below them, vast swaths of Kafrican cities, and directly in front, large factory complexes. These factories would be vital to a continued war effort and the strike today would cripple Drimp's ability to wage continued war should he fail. The B-52s released 50 Mk84 2000lb bombs on the targets, leaving a bombed out ruin nearly half a mile long over the targets. The firestorm consumed everything in its path below.

	News of the 2205 Zokesian election was on the lips of everyone in the nation. After a month of back-ballot counting, the narrow 2205 race has been won by the Zokesian Royal Party. With just over 50.05% majority, they have once again established unitary majority over parliament. Recent slowdowns in the economy hurt Royalist voting blocks, but Maximilian's "New Work Agreement" promises to put kerbals back to work and increase the standard of living for those most affected by the 2204 slump. The first term of Maximilian's Presidency was highlighted by rapid military buildup, successful global counter-terrorist operations, and a robust development of the nation's production capacity.

The Zokesian Marine Corps lost 10 Harriers and 20 ZAH-1s at the cost of 50-60 enemy tanks. One Z-40 pilot, 1st LT Carmen Nadon, took heavy fire and resulted in the loss of the engine of the Harrier. Instead of ditching, 1st LT Nadon flew her crippled Z-40 into the flak again, dropping the rest of her ordinance and destroying two enemy tanks before bailing out. Recovered by friendly forces but badly burned, 1st LT Carmen Nadon was awarded the Ellanic Cross, the nation's highest award for Valor in combat. By the end of the Operation, Red Rocket had accounted for nearly 60 enemy ground units, 2 factories, and the capture of Diosca and her vital airport.

Five ZH-66 Black Eagle special forces helos launched off the ''ZNS Emperor Zeroth'' and flew low over Fegenguan airspace into Taiala. Landing in the courtyard of the Presidential Palace in Aaigu, 21st Airborne Special Forces operators apprehended the President of Taiala and successfully extracted with no losses.

		+	== War, War Never Changes ==
		+
		+	=== "No Antikromaitsm" bill ===
		+	Zokesian lawmakers introduced the No Antikromatism Education Act, landmark legislation modeled directly on the bipartisan law passed in Ward and built upon the International Blue New Deal Remembrance Alliance (IBNRA) Working Definition of Antikromatism, the global gold standard used by the Zokesian State Department and every major Kafrican organization.
		+
		+	"Today, we are witnessing an explosion of antikromatism unlike anything in our lifetimes," MP Randy Holburg said. "Nowhere is it more visible, or more dangerous, than on our college campuses. Higher education institutions have a responsibility to protect every student. And right now, too many are failing Kafrican students. That needs to be stopped. No student in Zokesia should have to choose between getting an education and being safe because of who they are. Not one."

		+	News of the 2205 Zokesian election was on the lips of everyone in the nation. After a month of back-ballot counting, the narrow 2205 race has been won by the Zokesian Royal Party. With just over 50.05% majority, they have once again established unitary majority over parliament. Recent slowdowns in the economy hurt Royalist voting blocks, but Maximilian's "New Work Agreement" promises to put kerbals back to work and increase the standard of living for those most affected by the 2204 slump. The first term of Maximilian's Presidency was highlighted by rapid military buildup, successful global counter-terrorist operations, and a robust development of the nation's production capacity.
		+
		+	After Weeks of rhetoric being thrown around by Kafrican president Blimp Drimp, an assault on Chikushinal was ordered by the disgraced president on January 16th, 2205. The first Kafrican tanks began lining up on the border with Chikushinal. Led by a dogmatic lunatic, the Kafrican Army was acting on its own, defying the legitimate government's orders to halt. Drimp was going to try to take Chikushinal back from the Zokesians, and all hell was about to break loose.
		+	[[File:ZokeScreenshot33572.png\|thumb\|Zokesian [[Z-40 Mantis]] attack aircraft bombing Kafrican positions, 2205.]]
		+	In the command center of Naval Air Station Fournloke, Vice Admiral John Hershen went over the final touches on the operation. A pre-emptive retaliatory strike to decapitate Kafrican warfighting and prevent invasion of Chikushinal. It was unknown if the Air Force had also defected with Drimp but John "Mad Sahren" Hershen was taking no chances. In 30 minutes, operations would commence.
		+
		+	Operation Red Rocket began in the dawn hours, with KZ-20J AWACS and EF-4 Skyshields took up stations over Task Force 91, as Z-41s and Z-81s of VFQ-103 "Jolly Rogers" and VFA-32 "Bombcats" roard into the morning sky. B-52s from NAS Fournloke split into groups of 5 and began tracking east and west, covered by Z-41s of VFQ-6 "Vipers". First Blood went to the 20 Z-81 Boggers attacking Diosca International Airport. Encountering no hostile aircraft, the Z-41s flew topcover as the Boggers bored in, unleashing AGM-65 ER standoff precision weapons, eliminating anti-air defenses and damaging the airbase, though not enough to render it inoperative. The capture of Diosca International was performed by the 21st Airborne, inserting Special forces onto the island and securing the airbase for Zokesian use. The 10 B-52s lined up on their targets. Below them, vast swaths of Kafrican cities, and directly in front, large factory complexes. These factories would be vital to a continued war effort and the strike today would cripple Drimp's ability to wage continued war should he fail. The B-52s released 50 Mk84 2000lb bombs on the targets, leaving a bombed out ruin nearly half a mile long over the targets. The firestorm consumed everything in its path below. In the west, Stahlsieg aircraft hit hard the Kafrican units along the western border. Z-80s, ZH-66 DAP attack helos ripped into the tanks. In the east, the Zokesian Marine Corps struck at Kafrican tanks, their Z-40 Harriers performing low altitude precision bombing runs on heavily defended targets, taking horrific losses. The Zokesian Marine Corps lost 10 Harriers and 20 ZAH-1s at the cost of 50-60 enemy tanks. One Z-40 pilot, 1st LT Carmen Nadon, took heavy fire and resulted in the loss of the engine of the Harrier.

	As the knot was tied, the Imperial fleet orbiting released fireworks from orbital canisters, raining down over the entire nation in great lines of confetti in the sky. Everyone, from the shores of Zokesian Valenia to the hills of Southern Zokesia to the deserts of Puge-Tatar knew and celebrated. The great wars of the past decade were over and peace and stability were finally here once again in the Federation. The economy had been booming and the royal marriage signalled newfound assurances of security. As is customary in Zokesian Culture, a gift was presented for the bride’s family. In honor of the relations between the UIF and Zokesia, Vikus handed the keys to New Korfu, the former Zokesian Minmus colony, to the Ward Royal Family. The colony was renamed Wardian Korfu, and its bountiful ore mines once again contributed to the Zokesian Federation.

	The worst economic downturn in 50 years struck Zokesia in early 2100, as trust funds and CDs of Zokesian bank <i>Realfirm</i> went belly up as an audit revealed the nation's largest bank was funneling savings into private military contracts accross Kerbin. Every sector of the economy was quickly hit by the savings ripple as citizens began pulling money out only to find their savings accounts were empty. The hypervirtual currency of the modern age resulted in a massive inflation of over 1000% in the past month, as more and more money is pulled out onto debit cards and spent that shouldn't technically exist according to the Internal Revenue Service. Immediately the prices of goods skyrocketed, and the average worker in Zokesia is reportedly burning bank notes in order to continue heating their homes. Workers became more and more angered by the refusal of the industrial bosses to increase wages or give any support to the people in the needy time, and began turning twoards Kafrican Socialism, as protests broke out all accross North Zokesia. Kafrican socialism stirred the far left of Zokesia, and with the turn of the millennium leaving many Zokesians wondering when the monarchy will improve their quality of life, young Zokesians turned to fringe groups across the country in support of Kafrican ideologies being adopted at home in Zokesia. There was also a small counterculture of young people who grew up in Grail's Zokesia, having come out as reactionaries against the socialists, calling themselves Neostahlists. The ruling govenement officially took no sides on the arguments.
