The Gonzalez Isle Civil War (Spanish: Guerra Civil Gonzalez Isla), more commonly known as The Isle War (Spanish: La Guerra de Islas) or simply The War (Spanish: La Guerra), was a civil war that took place in Gonzalez Isle, an archipelago 623 miles (1002.62km) northwest of the coast of Torisakia and a Torisakia protectorate territory. It began to rise after the July 2013 Gonzalez Isle independence referendum in which Gonzalez Isle citizens were given the option to vote on whether Gonzalez Isle should be an independent country or not, in which the "No" side won handily with 2,179,242 (69.4%) voting against independence and 964,585 (30.6%) voting for independence. In August 2013, Gonzalez Isle nationalist and former seat-holder for Gonzalez Isle in the Torisakia senate Nicolás Núñez sent a series of ultimatums to then Torisakia president Johnson Crandall, stating that refusal to give the territory their independence would result in the death of "millions" of Torisakians. In December 2013, Núñez along with supporters of a Gonzalez Isle based political party, called "Los Nacionales" (English: The Nationals) attempted a coup d'état against the Torisakia government in Gonzalez Isle, which failed after only two days.
The Loyalists won the war, which ended officially on December 20, 2019 with the signing of the Reuben Doctrine by Torisakia president Doug McDowell, Gonzalez Isle governor Misael Pabon, and acting Nationalist leaders Kemal Collazo and Magín Valdivia.
