Oh, you youngster. You missed the largest, and probably longest, war in EC history.
The federation of Fontan, Sirion and Old Rancagua, allied to the federation of Yssaria, Ibladesh, and Itorunt, all vs. the alliance of Perdan, Caligus, Ubent, and Oligarch. And somewhere in there was the birth/death of Avamar, Rancagua, and probably Omsk. That all ended somwhere in late 2006, having run for 4 or 5 years.
I'm pretty sure Yssaria didn't exist when I was on the EC briefly in 2004, so if that ran for 4 or 5 years, it must have also included the birth of Yssaria.
