The Zimori War of Independence was a conflict fought between Dorislav and the breakaway state of Zimor. Lasting from 2169 to 2172, the conflict saw both sides suffer heavy losses, much of which was attributed to either famine or military personnel falling off the cliff Kobyeda - which was the center of a two-year-long siege - was located in. The war ended when Dorislavian forces withdrew from Kobyeda after suffering heavy losses and failing to retake the city from the Zimoris. Dorislav later signed an agreement with the newly reformed nation promising to avoid any hostilities with the nation for five years and assisting in repairing the damage done to Kobyeda after years of airstrikes and artillery bombardment.

March 6: Zimor secedes
On March 6, 2169, [tbd, character to receive partial retcon] announced that he would not accept the dissolution of the Zimori Autonomous Republic and integration into the Kobyeda province and instead choose to secede from Dorislav, even if it meant war. A day later on the 7th, an overwhelming majority of the [tbd] voted to leave the Dorislav People's Republic and re-establish Zimor as a nation bordering the Central Sea at a fraction of its original size, with Kobyeda as its capital and the cities of Nodyi and [unnamed city north of Kobyeda] under its banner as well.
