The 3rd Despa War was a military conflict between the Central Despan Republic and the Prairie Union.
After the Great Prairie War, many refugees fled the collapsing Garfean States, and the Federation granted them immunity and land north of Patriam and New West Virginia. In addition, the governments of North Garfea and the NSE were fined to pay 1,000,000,000 dollars (Fed Dollar) to each of the Victors. With the formation of the Prairie Union, these nations voted to forgive the debt owed by Luke Gainey. However, the Central Despan Republic (CDR) had not joined the Union, and required payments still. By this point, the Garfean States had been re-organized into the West Mendotan Republic, and Luke Gainey and the Garfean Refugees had founded Grand Meowtopia, an expansive but economically weak republic north of the U.F.P.
Despa still asked for it's payments, but with Luke Gainey still struggling to keep Grand Meowtopia, now a Prairie Union Member State, afloat, the Prairie Union unanimously voted to not pay at all to the Central Despan Republic, and to Defend the small republic. Due to this, the Central Despan Republic declared war.
