The Oil Wars

The Oil Wars were a series of armed conflicts during Age of Regression involving The Empire of Polaria, Walldavia, The Republic of Moropia, Seluka, The Kingdom of Kaisek, The Republic of Hollica, The Federation of Tanessiat, the Kingdom of Cafora, the Empire of Qingshu, the Abzalian Federated States, The Kingdom of Keldin, The confederacy of Legumia, The Kingdom of Hacoria, and the Zarin Empire. These wars were largely due to the energy crisis of 2067 AE, in which oil deposits on Arvald began to run dry (small deposits would remain in remote locations) By 2423 AE all oil on Arvald was officially exhausted, and the Oil wars ended. During the Oil wars the aforementioned nations engaged in combat over Orula Ocean oil deposits, Lathe Desert oil deposits, and other such energy sources across the world. After the wars ended there was somewhat of a 'dark age' for energy until Verner perfected the nuclear reactor in 2688 AE and other renewable energy sources become more available and cheap. Due to the prolonged state of the wars this period is the bloodiest and most chaotic in History, with over 81 Million estimated casualties caused indirectly or directly due to the energy crisis itself and the conflict involved in the Oil Wars.
