The I-LAW Nuke Crisis started with the defeat of the renegade I-LAW in the Battle for Invasion. With no significant force left to attack the Pacific Empire and with the naval blockade keeping out help from the Midwayan Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Vlad Severin was forced to use his "trump card": nuclear weapons given to him by the MSFSR before the blockade was enforced. The threat was soon nullified by the superweapons of the Pacific Empire and the I-LAW Coup d'etat has been finally quelled. However, Vlad Severin is still at large and his whereabouts are unknown.
