The González Archipelago Dispute is an armed conflict between the Democracy of Narsora and the Federal Republic of Torisakia over the González Archipelago a chain of islands off the North-Eastern coast of Narsora.

Background

The archipelago was was put under Narsoran control after it's borders were drawn in 1957, in 1960 after officially becoming a recognized country the islands permanently became a part of the new Democracy Of Narsora. After formation of the country's armed forces in late-1960, the presence of the army was permanently established on the archipelago to defend it from the massive foreign (mostly communist) threat at the time. beginning in early 1969 the government of the then Libertarian Republic of Torisakia laid claims to the islands stating that they had a presence there as early as 1953, and that the territory had been unfairly "stolen" from them. The torisakians demanded that the narsorans leave the islands and replace them under their control, a demand which the narsoran government immediately declined. Torisakia stated it would take the islands back by force if necessary which led to an annexation by Torisakian security forces in 1973. Since then tensions have flared between the countries, leading to two conflicts in 2009 and 2014 and several smaller skirmishes.

Consequences of the Conflict

Political

As a result of the conflict, relations between the two countries have continued to deteriorate and were, as of November 2014, all but non-existent.

Financial

Both countries spend tremendous amounts of money on the conflict; in 2013 and 2014 the Narsoran government spent an estimated $2.5 Billion on the conflict, while the Torisakian government spent an estimated $3.8 Billion.

Public Opinion

The attitude of most of the Narsoran public is that the islands are narsoran territory although according to a poll taken at the end of 2014, only 20% of the population support a possible land invasion of the islands. The rest claim that while the islands should be returned to the country, any invasion would be to great of a risk due to the high numbers of toriskaian troops stationed on the islands. Conversely many narsorans believe both nations are fighting a pointless conflict for islands that have no particular importance. The attitude of the Torisakian population is much the same and there is a strong "Anti-Narsoran and "Anti-Torisakian" sentiment in both countries respectively.
