User:LizArchive/Invasion of Cheyenne

The Invasion of Cheyenne (December 2010 - June 2011) was an attack on the U.S. State of Cheyenne by the U.S. Commonwealth of Superior, during which Superior attempted to annex northeast portions of the state. The attack began in December 2010 with the deployment of the Superior National Guard by Governor Nichelini through the Cheyenne counties of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas in an effort to establish a perimeter around Nichelini's "Superior recognize[d]" borders of the Commonwealth. Encountering virtually no governmental resistance, the invasion of Cheyenne effectively ended upon Superior's designation of occupied Cheyenne territory as the Unorganized District of the Commonwealth (UDC), an occupation held until Superior forces withdrew at the direction of the State Attorney General in June 2011.

Superior forces were initially ordered to begin an of Cheyenne in June 2010, but due to communication errors no formal advancement was made. However, by December 2010, communication errors were resolved, and Gov. Nichelini of Superior ordered the Superior National Guard to deploy along the Superior-Savannah border and the Superior-Cheyenne border, defining the Superior-Cheyenne border as including North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas as Superiorite, initiating an invasion of Cheyenne. It is unclear at what point Superior forces completely captured aforementioned areas, but State Attorney General Michael Anderson proclaimed them as annexed into Superior, with the designation of Unorganized District of the Commonwealth (UDC) in late December 2010.

The UDC existed as under de-facto control by Superior until June 2011, when various state cabinet officials, including Bob Jones and Michael Anderson, signed executive orders defunding and withdrawing, respectively, Superior forces from Cheyenne, marking and end to the occupation.

Cheyenne Governorship
Following the death of Cheyenne Gov. Lawer in December 2008, and the subsequent death of their Lieutenant Governor *sigh* months later, a constitutional crisis was exhibited in Cheyenne where there was no one in the line of succession to become Governor, with 2 years remaining until a gubernatorial election. In April 2009, Tragic committed a coup against the arguably non-existent Cheyenne government, asserting themselves as Governor, but by June 2010 they had resigned, inviting Superior Gov. Nichelini to "annex this state", prompting the first attempt at invading Cheyenne, which failed due to communication errors within the executive branch of Government. Prior to their resignation, Gov. Tragic appointed Senator Ass as Lieutenant Governor, making them Governor upon Tragic's resignation. However, Gov. Ass was a relatively inactive Governor, never once signing any Executive Orders or entering the gubernatorial office.
