Nassau would be given its period of peace again, though it would be broken in September of 2021 not by Nova Balreska but by Whitecrest instead, who sought to conquer Saint Christopher for themselves. During this war, Governor Poutpout_army resigned from his position with a temporary Naval Junta being set up for the remainder of the conflict.  The war ultimately ended in Whitecrest ending its aggression, finally giving Nassau a victory after its many losses to Nova Balreskan expansionism.

In February of 2022, the Grand Isles were upturned when the Blackwind Pirates began a series of expansions which had never been seen before, with the Imperial Marine Corps quickly seizing the island of Perth from Nova Balreska and the Rogue Raiders attempting the same on Fort Verner. With Perth no longer under Nova Balreskan control, Admiral skulldragon7 decided to attempt to try and claim the coveted island for Nassau, though this would backfire heavily when Blackwind not only beat back the Nassau offensive, but captured the fort of St. Christopher as well, once again leaving Nassau with no territories to call its own. Relations quickly turned on their head between Nassau and Blackwind though, when an unexpected and long-dormant force reappeared in the Grand Isles - the Empire of Inyola.

Relations quickly turned on their head between Nassau and Blackwind though, when an unexpected and long-dormant force reappeared in the Grand Isles - the Empire of Inyola.

On March 22nd of 2022, Commander Y'Gert of the [[Inyola|Inyolan]] Imperial Navy announced his presence to the Grand Isles, sent to destroy an Inyolan rebellion which had established a base in the Grand Isles. Nova Balreska and the Kingdom of Whitecrest agreed to assist Inyola in driving the rebels out, with Nassau and Blackwind agreeing to defend the rebels at any cost, and so the Imperial Alliance began their attack against the rebels. However, the war took an unforeseen turn when the Imperial Alliance was utterly devastated by the rebellion, only managing to sink 2 Camels of the rebellion while losing 2 Alliances, 2 Camels, a Phoenix, a Retaliator, and 2 Binglehoppers. With this loss in hand, Inyola instead turned their eyes to the Purshovian islands of Cannoneer's Key and Clydesdale, seeking to take them for itself to establish an Inyolan base within the Grand Isles and drive out the long-hated Purshovians, however this also quickly turned sour when shortly after landing on Cannoneer's Key, the entire Inyolan invasion fleet was lost with none of the defending Poseidons sunk, trapping the Inyolan invaders on Cannoneer's Key and leaving Clydesdale unchallenged in the hands of Purshovia. These losses have kept further Inyolan aggression to a standstill, and current conflict between the rebellion and the Imperial Alliance remains a standoff.

The state of internal politics in the Grand Isles remains much the same between Nassau and its adversaries, while Whitecrest did attempt to siege and claim Saint Christopher oncemore, they were once again beaten back by Nassau and so the fort remains in the hands of Nassau, though the future of the fledgling faction will continue into the future as it grows and further attempts to cement itself amont the far older powers.

Nassau would elected lisainwonderland as their new Governess, everyone hoping for a time of peace. That would change once Whitecrest announced their claim over the island of [[Freeport]], which made Nassau also claim the island for themselves. War would be declared between the two nations a week later, with the battles only taking place on the island of Freeport.                  The Nassuvian Navy would defeat the navymen of Whitecrest every single battle with minimal casualties. After their victories over Whitecrest, Nassau would annex Freeport into their Republic.

 

However after the the War was over, due to Whitecrest struggling to stay aflout the two nations would come to an agreement which would see Governess lisainwonderland became the Queen of a new faction in the Grand Isles, while Late-King gghostwolff would become the Duke of Fenwick. Most of the original Whitecrest leadership would be filled in by ones from Nassau, and the [[Whitecrest|Kingdom of Whitecrest and Nassau]] would be declared.
