Anti-Article 13 alliance

The Anti-Article 13 alliance is a major alliance in the Alternate Future of Europe: Article 13 series by Star Islandian Mapping. Its main purpose is to fight Article 13, an European law that bans most of the internet. It accepts any members, as long as they are willing to fight against countries that try the enforce Article 13. The alliance is enemies with the EU.

Background
In January 2019, the EU voted in favor of Article 13, and forced all of its members to have the Article by the end of February. As Sweden refused, the rest of the EU invaded Sweden, weakening the country over the next few months. During this time, Norway sent spies into other countries so that when the timing was right, they could purchase billboards and make them have Anti-Article 13 propaganda.

In May, Sweden was ready to surrender to the EU. Norway stopped this, and together the two countries formed the Anti-Article 13 alliance.

Rise and fall of the Nordics
After the founding of the alliance, Sweden managed to reclaim some of its land. Norway's billboards managed to successfully turn Finland and Denmark on their side. As the rest of the Nordic countries were in the Anti-Article 13 alliance, Iceland decided to join as well. This, however, angered France, who declared that all Anti-Article 13 billboards should be destroyed.

After losing Denmark and Iceland to the EU, Norway convinced Estonia to become a secret member of the Anti-Article 13 alliance by promising Estonia a spot on the Nordic Council as soon as the war was over. Estonia managed to slow down the troops advancing through Estonia for a while, but the effect kept weakening.

Eventually, Finland was lost to the EU as well, and both Norway and Sweden were about to be taken over. The two had lost hope of winning and were ready to surrender.

Brexit
On August 21, 2019, the United Kingdom finally left the EU after years of planning to do so. After leaving, the country joined the Anti-Article 13 alliance, meaning the war of Article 13 continued. The United Kingdom proceeded to invade Ireland, who then joined the Anti-Article 13 alliance.

However, not after Ireland joining, the alliance started weakening again, and the EU was about to win the war yet again.

American help
With no other options, Norway decided to ask the United States to join the Anti-Article 13 alliance. At first, the United States refused, but accepted the offer after promised half of Norway's oil.

The United States started by invading Malta. The battle was short and resulted in Malta joining the Anti-Article 13 alliance. During this time, Estonia also became an official member of the alliance. The alliance then focused on getting Finland, Denmark and Iceland back, which was a success.

New Zealand
After joining the EU, Australia invaded New Zealand in order to spread Article 13 there as well. Notificing this, Norway asked New Zealand to join the Anti-Article 13 alliance, which New Zealand accepted.
