Sep-Oct 1487 - Governor Koenigsberg starts a new campaign against killer clowns, calling it the War on Drugs. However, this is perhaps one of the most controversial decisions he has made, as he faced an immediate backlash from the Dodoclown lobbyists. Protests were staged, including one in the capital which turned into a riot. At this point, the governor decided to compromise. The most influential lobbyist was a certain Manuel Minnesotan (He preferred Monsieur Minnesotan, although some of his opponents would much rather call him "mini satan"). The governor appointed  the Monsieur  to lead the War on Drugs. This perfectly managed the situation, as the Monsieur appointed his own lobbyist friends, most of whom were powerful in the Dodoclown community. By the end of October, killer clown killings were reduced to perhaps one every fortnight.

Nov-Dec 1487 - Governor Koenigsberg and Monsieur Minnesotan worked even closer together after the Dodoclown crisis. The Monsieur influence helped the Governor solve certain image problems with the new police force. However, the Governor was becoming concerned with the Monsieur as his crusade against the killer clowns continued. This came to a head in early December when a killer clown had jumped on the Monsieur at his home in the Capital. The Monsieur was alone, and the killer clown had him pinned down and had almost decapitated him if it were not for the Vietnamese consul who had come to visit the Monsieur and had heard noises in the back. Seeing the situation, he promptly shot the clown in the head. After doing this, the killer clown killed himself. Lukaga Ming, the Vietnamese consul to Nedodoland, promptly fled the scene.

Jan-Feb 1488 - The Governor mourned the Monsieur's death, but also called for the return of Lukaga Ming to Kangaro-Dodo authorities. This was echoed by the Kangoro-Dodo government, sending diplomats to Hanoi to negotiate a deal. The Kingdom of Vietnam was led by King Ho Chi Minh, often nicknamed the Fireblade. The Fireblade was extremely arrogant, and after receiving this passive-aggressive message from the Kangoro-Dodo Union, he had the diplomats, ambassador, and the consuls arrested, refusing any demands from the KDU. In response, after two weeks of tense diplomatic talks between the two nations and the mobilization of the Kangoro-Dodo military, the Kangaro-Dodo Union declared war on the Kingdom of Vietnam. After two weeks of this conflict, the president of the KDU resigned, leading to an election. An election won by Ethan Koenigsberg, now President Koenigsberg. The new President was a fierce fighter and had a long history with human militias fighting against the Kangaroos and Dodos he was now leading to war against a foreign enemy. In two weeks, no gains had been made by either side, and it was unknown who would win. The Vietnamese had a great navy, while the KDU had only just started settling the northern coast of Australia. However, the Vietnamese had incompetent generals in charge of their army, while the KDU's military history was great.

Mar-Apr 1488 - The Vietnamese led their navy to the Kangaro-Dodo coast, to be met with a couple fishing ships. The Vietnamese utterly destroyed these ships. They landed, taking the coast and started to move inland. However, they had never seen or heard of anything from these lands, and these lands had only recently started to be settled. Therefore infrastructure was abysmal, so by the time Vietnamese forces had reached the next town, half of their force had starved to death. This was also due to poor planning and preparation. However, the Fireblade, thinking the war was to be over in a few months, started to display a show of power using their navy resulting in Vietnam starting a large war in south-east Asia. This made Vietnam largely disconnected with their armies in Australia. Therefore when the Kangaro-Dodo Army engaged the Vietnamese Army, the result was a slaughter. The Kangaro-Dodos had routed the Vietnamese into the middle of a desert, where they encircled them and fought them fiercely. Many Vietnamese committed suicide, falling on their swords rather than fight the vastly overpowered Kangoro-Dodos. Others fought to the death. In the end, no-one survived.

May-Jun 1488 - Retaking the coast, President Koenigsberg started a gigantic infrastructure project, creating plans to create large ports and some transport ships. In the meantime, he also engaged in vigorous diplomacy with the nations Vietnam was at war with, attempting to negotiate the Kangaro-Dodo Union's entry into their war in return for those nations transporting Kangaro-Dodo forces to Vietnam to defeat the Fireblade. Finally, they agreed, and a fortnight later, Kangaro-Dodo forces stormed the Hanoi Palace, kidnapping the Fireblade and forcing him to surrender, before arresting him and bringing him back to Australia. The consuls, diplomats, and the ambassador came back to the Kangaro-Dodo Union, as well as Lukaga Ming, who was sentenced to death. Vietnam's neighbours gained lands and wealth, but the Kangaro-Dodo Union and the President himself gained something much more powerful - national unity.
