The Second Lauchenoirian Civil War is an ongoing conflict in Lauchenoiria. The conflict began after Suleman Chaher deposed Prime Minister Laura Moore in a coup d'état. Following this, the island of Aeluria issued a unilateral declaration of independence, which was not recognised by either of the other factions.

Background

Following 62 years of Communist rule after the first civil war, a Liberal government was elected, which led to a referendum on capitalism being held in August 2017, which was won by those favouring a transition to capitalism with 62.3% voting in favour.

In February 2018, following a riot by the Anarcho-Communist Collective of Lauchenoiria in Melissa City, Laura Moore's government accepted help from Skodenian Peacekeepers after hostages were taken. This led to conspiracy theories that Laura Moore was working for the Skodenian government.

Suleman Chaher covertly gathered support for a vote-of-no-confidence in Laura Moore, which took place on the 9th May in a move Chaher's opponents have criticised as an illegal coup d'état due to irregularities in the voting procedure.
