The 1st Crusade up until 19th January when writing, has been the largest war in RoNations by size of soldiers and nations. There was only ever one battle which was the initial invasion of the Coral sea which resulted in a victory for the crusaders.

Prelude

The Coral Sea Islands (Full name: The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands' was a small nation set on the coral sea islands up north of the island of Australia. This nation was a majority lgbt populated state and even had the pride flag as its flag. This didn't set well with the existing nation states who worried that more like this could spring up and ruin the community of RoNations and force it to become more diverse friendly, so a crusade was launched by nearly every nation at the time.

Nations Who Didn't

One odd stand out nation wad the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom at the time was looking to expand its territory back to the days of the British Empire and so the coral sea islands would have been a good base for Asian colonisation however the UK chose to stay out for a few reasons, number one was it was more focused at home on on defending Northern Ireland and two it didn't want to be on the same side as the Celts, additionally their time was more stretched and so was unable to join the crusade.
