The Elephant War between UME and New Sparta began when New Sparta posted an announcement on the forum alleging that unnamed members of UME had hacked New Sparta's forum server. GOONS soon joined against UME using a mid-war agreement they signed with New Sparta. After this UME membership swelled rapidly until admins intervened and removed their President and Assitant Cities citing two offensive mayor names in the budding ranks of UME. GOONS later peaced UME and shortly thereafter their Government was restored. With the war turning into a solo act New Sparta made a public announcement that they were not interested in peace with UME. This war is ongoing.
