The Strategic Cheese Reserve is Oblitus Terras's stockpile of products considered to be "Looking kinda cheesy" to the Terrasian government. The inventory of this reserve does include other commodities, equipment and ingredients relevant to cheese-making such as cow-DNA, machinery, milk and coagulant stockpiling, all of Ed Sheeran's songs and an ancient artifact said to able to create the "perfect cheese" found near a Terrasian native burial ground. Oblitus Terras leads Spiritus in its Cheese-making industry, with profits exceeding the GDP of some nations in the region from exports alone.

The Cheese Wars

Cheese War One

Historically, Oblitus Terras was apathetic to cheese and dairy products in general but that soon changed when a Terrasian politician was assassinated with a cheese wheel. Seeing this injustice, the nation sought to give everyone else "a taste of their own dairy product" with preparations for war being drafted. It was during this time that cheese-based weaponry were in their earliest implementation in the battlefield, prompting the start of the First Cheese War. The result was, devastating to literally anyone who was not part of the Empire. As Oblitus Terras had trust issues at the time, this technology would be a closely guarded military secret, with entire battalions sent out to recover assets in the battlefield should the risk of it falling to enemy hands becomes too high.

The First Cheese War saw an almost complete swoop of Spiritus under this new "dairy-based warfare", where nations simply were sued for peace since they could not stomach the thought of anymore cheese. Eventually, these nations would later reverse engineer Terrasian cheese tech to bolster their military to prevent another war from happening. The League of Cheese was founded which would attempt to regulate the rules of engagement if a war were to ever break out, especially concerning the excessive cheese consumption by the people and the state. Oblitus Terras, being the sole winner to the war and the acting peacekeeper for this body, would reject these pleas citing that it had every right to defend itself from further "cheese-related incidents" again. The world would later be reminded of the horrors of cheese warfare and how it changed conventional warfare forever, it would later the dubbed "The Great Cheese War" in Spiritus's contemporary history.

Cheese War Two

Eventually, Fitler of Strazi Harmony would declare war on Spiritus, against any nation that supports the "Age of Dairy" revolution which would mark the start of the Second Cheese War. Fitler had troops fiercely loyal and disciplined to unquestionably face obesity when fighting against, essentially the entire world at that point. At the start, he formed an unofficial non-aggression pact with Oblitus Terras since the nation has already progressed too far in the cheese weaponry and was the victor of the first war, as he would not want to poke the hornet's nest, unless it was a cheat day at least. Fitler would eventually be too ambitious and arrogant to invade Oblitus Terras, stating that his workout regime has significantly improved and dairy products "would not affect the temptations of my men". Fitler did came fairly prepared with new strategies such as the Blitz-Four Day routine that saw significant training adaptation for all troops to be able to fight in any military branch. This allowed Fitler to move more manpower into branches, even divisions or armies, that needed soldiers on-demand to move between the four military branches which were The Arms (Army), Liftwaffles (Air Force), No Cakes, No Cream (Navy) and Fitler's personal dispatch, Fitstyle FF. Although the training for each soldier would take years to finish, a recruit or cadet would be one of the most capable soldiers at the time, with vast knowledge for flexible deployment in even the most hostile, cheese-infested battlefields. As the war dragged on, it was a clear numbers game as Harmony's allies, Gapen and Fitaly soon gave in and embraced their natural selves after Gapen was dropped two Atomic Milks on Hero Iwa! and Mana Sake?

In the twilight days of the Second Cheese War, Oblitus Terras and other nations within Spiritus closed in on Harmony's capital, Beerlin, which saw the defeat and apparent suicide of Fitler from self-broccoli intoxication. The victors would later celebrate and a tribunal gathered and hunted former Strazi perpetrators, especially those who had a hand in the genocide of blue cheese lovers, aka the Blues within fitness camps in AwShitz. It would take more than a decade for at least half of Strazi officials to be delivered justice, with many more having escaped prosecution. Historians always cite this as one of the most influential wars in the history of Spiritus, owing to the development of weapons so destructive that war would never be directly declared against two nuclear dairy powers, The Atomic Milk. Oblitus Terras stood as the sole superpower conflict, later heading a merge of states for the Terrasian Empire but was short-lived with the announcement of the unification of the west into the Unified Realms. The spheres of influence by both of them would occasionally overlap and lead to a full scale war between them, The Third Cheese War.

Cheese War Three: Part 1 - The Cold Milk War: Warm to Chilled Milk

Prior to the incident of "The Dairy Crisis of '89" which resulted in the Third Cheese War, Spiritus saw a sharp decline in Cheese production and procurement. The previously Cheese exporting nations within the region now gone, Spiritus sought to find a solution to the cheese crisis following the development, and usage, of dairy-based nukes of the Second Cheese War. Alternatives were offered to reduce dependency on such products such as encouraging consumption of plant-based milk, subsidies for nut and plant-based oils and overall disarmament of Nuclear Cheese stockpiles and research into weaponizing dairy products. This however, did not faze the aspirations of proud and stratocratic nations such as Oblitus Terras to further refine their dairy capabilities. Former nations now subjugated into the Terrasian Empire, would later form the Eastern Cheese Bloc against the spread of nuclear proliferation. This of course, soured the cheese and relationship between Oblitus Terras and the opposition, which would later collaborate into the Unified Realms against it. Thus, a Western Cheese Bloc was found to meet the east.

Although, the opposing nations did possess such weapons themselves, to potentially retaliate and deter aggression from the empire, these were ill-equipped against the countermeasures the Terrasian military put in place. An arms race ensued within Spiritus building up tensions which would later escalate into another Cheese War. On May 6, 1986, The Prime Minister of the Unified Realms, Princeton Churchmill, went down in history as the "Cheesy Veil Speech." To quote, "From Balder to the North Pacific a "cheesy veil" has descended across the continent", stating that nations within Spiritus now had to align and choose between these two superpowers. As the looming conflict proved inevitable, the breaking point would be during the Hooman Missile Crisis during the administration of Jack F. Remedy of the Unified Realms when the west provoked a Terrassian guard by calling him a "cow-lover", which lead to a cheesy, albeit nuclear, exchange between the two sides.

As the Unified Realms scrambled helplessly to save what was left of their government, as a result of lactose intolerant defences, Terrasian troops would push on all fronts until they reached the heart of Spiritus, Eggdrasil. The Coalition, which the Unified Realms would later reorganize into, would saw one of its most bloodiest conflicts of the war in this battle as they threw millions of conscripted soldiers, many of whom were slaves and peasants, against Terrasian Legionaires. Terrasian nationalists and patriots would claim through their superior cheese-patented technology, the force of a single soldier would equal to the strength of a 1000 men of the Coalition and the battle's outcome would already be decided by sheer cheese power alone. However, The Siege of Eggdrasil would be considered a stalemate as Terrasian logistics were not adapted to prolonging a fight throughout the summer, as the cheese melted too often, and the defenders were well entrenched in the city to give away their spiritual capital. Other fronts would prove much more successful for Oblitus Terras, as major battles in the North Pacific and Balder would contribute significantly to the end of the conflict. The Third Cheese War did not exactly end, with a formal ceasefire still in place to allow for both sides to recuperate from fighting.

Cheese War Three: Part 2 - The Cold Milk War: Chilled to Frozen Milk

There was still growing distrust from both sides about who would break the ceasefire as it was still years after the deal was signed. Nevertheless, the Unified Realms fueled initial conflict by accusing Oblitus Terras of drafting plans to continue the war. It was understandably on the table for both sides to consider their security but slow escalations of minor disputes led to a renewed conflict. A surprise raid conducted by Unified Realms Special Forces at a Scientia Terrasian diplomat's home that led to the death the diplomat and his family, claiming he was planning to smuggle a cheese sculpture meant to be showcased at during the Dairy Olympics. Although the response of Oblitus Terras was condemnation and warnings to the United Realms, a definite invasion plan was already in place set by Terrasian generals.

As the Terrasian Empire slowly encircled the remaining members of the Coalition to prepare for the move. Realizing this, the Unified Realms responded after detecting the Terrasian advance and deployed what remained of their troops and dairy arsenal to meet the Terrasians. However, unbeknownst to both, a new faction emerged from the far South, Butter is Dairy Too! , a group of previously non-aligned nations of the war that was left unscathed from the fallout of the first nuclear exchange between the Unified Realms and the Terrasian Empire.

A three-way war ensued where Butter is Dairy Too!, headed by a nation with everyone wearing penguin suits and penguin-butter hybrid weaponry insisting that if people do not buy their butter-based weapons, they would prove to the world that they are indeed viable for war. Thus, the Third Cheese War developed into an arms race between these factions with the Terrasian Empire perfecting their cheese-based technology, the Unified Realms developing cream-based technology and the Butter is Dairy Too! refining their ancient, butter-based technology. Scholar circles would occasionally speak of this time as the "Golden Time of Dairy Technology" where the fighting was actually quite minimal after the Siege of Eggdrasil and each faction sought to show off their technology instead.

Interest did brew by the collective populace of the world during this time too, as unknown butter-based technology was completely alien to anyone who did not live on any of the Portal Poles, even more so the South-West Pole. Traders, adventurers and smugglers took this opportunity which saw the boom of a black market for technology not native to their area. Onlookers would be in awe of the development of cream-based technology, previously used commercially, be used in military applications such as tanks, missiles and aircraft. Terrasians especially, being hard-nosed and proud people, would look at these technologies as inferior copies of theirs and would occassionally spout the usual, "I bet we can do THIS better than they do" whenever they pass by a foreign merchant. These times however, were short lived as fighting eventually did break out in the outer territories of each other's sphere, and war did broke out. This time, fortunately, without the dairy-based nukes.

As milk fission, can only go so far in pasteurization before the lactose breaks too far apart, unwanted side products can sometimes form as a result of being less reactive and explosive when cooled for storage. It was difficult to concoct a formula to move away from solely relying on refined milk to produce higher yielding explosives, there was a need for further innovation for nukes. The Butter is Dairy Too! faction, at this point they were just called the Penguins for obvious reasons, managed to a have a breakthrough in experimenting with frothing of milk and multi-stage heating and cooling intervals to break and re-arrange the milk structure to be much more destructive when activated. This would combine with butter, to produce buttermilk which would be much more reactive to atmospheric changes and react with hydrogen as an explosive catalyst. Thus, the Penguins successfully created the Hydrogen Atomic Buttermilk Bomb, the first constructed on the eve of resumed widescale conflict of the Third Cheese War. This would later be used on the city-state of Goon Central, where a band of nuclear terrorists managed to procure one of the earliest atomic milk nukes made by Oblitus Terras. The Goon threatened to send nukes to every faction as a means to appease their gods but before negotiations were to ensue, the bomb was dropped on the nation, wiping the nation out of existence. Quite literally, traces of all civilization was wiped from a radius extending from the center to almost near its borders to neighbouring countries. Even the capital, Gooning-Around, became a radioactive, milk-filled lake that will melt anything organic that touches the surface.

Concerns and condemnations by both the Unified Realms and Oblitus Terras about the consequences of such a destructive weapon led to an uneasy alliance between the two to ensure that the Penguins do not build a second one. The Unified Realms, lead the Northern Pole theater against sister nations aligned with the Penguins to secure the ancient structure of "The Butter Way", built mysteriously by a civilization lost to time that is run by butter. This structure would later be useful for the alliance forces to reinforce the final march of the South-West Pole, albeit they would come out buttered up as well. Oblitus Terras shifted their armies to meet the Penguins in the Battle of Wietmam, which saw the Penguins employ gorilla tactics (like actual gorillas) to drag an extremely hard-won victory for the Terrasians. The months turned to years, and still the gorillas with butter driving them to fight for the penguins proved unrelenting to the Terrasians. Even the Penguins employed the same tactics by slathering butter on their penguin suits, to move swiftly on their bellies and clear out Terrasian patrols before they could even be seen. As such, Oblitus Terras made the controversial decision to launch nukes to the nation, forever scarring it with deep, full-cream holes of milk. With the Battle of Wietnam settled, Terrasian military shifted towards invading the South-West Pole's mainland.

Not much is revealed in the war documents by the alliance, both the Unified Realms and the Terrasian Empire keeps these documents classified. But the Penguins, the people, the wives and children, remembered the day when the alliance came and took everything, even their dignity as human beings dressed in penguin costumes. When the alliance came in full-force, there was no surrender but they knew they were going to lose either way. They fought to the last soldier and those who did not or could not were sent to work for the alliance as slaves and labourers in Cheese Farms. The women, there were no end to the atrocities that would be committed on them because of milk. When they left seemingly with nothing else to take, they nuked the entire peninsular with the Penguin's own weapon. Those who still did not yield, were left there to die by the newly made weapon and cruelly studied to determine the effects of buttermilk radiation.

Aftermath

Although it led to the current uneasy peace in Spiritus and the dissolution of both bodies into individual nations, it served as a reminder that war can be started by anything, even cheese. On 12th October 2021, Oblitus Terras officially acknowledged of the existence of 'The Strategic Cheese Reserve', established prior to the Second Cheese War. The strategic reserve would serve to regulate cheese supply and demand to ease national security and protect the economy from another cheese war, much to the pleasure of the other nations in Spiritus.

As for the Penguins, the people and the animals, it has become hard to distinguished the two. They were nuked to a state of de-evolution and have begun mimicking native penguins as a result, losing everything but their base primal instincts. Though almost human in form, it took almost half a century for the world to understand that the effects of nuclear-milky fallout can change the biology and even distort the body into what nightmare artists can conjure in their minds. The concern of Spiritus, even the World, at the moment is that there are rumours of Oblitus Terras experimenting with ancient butter technology to develop even more efficient weapons to be used in future wars, if it were to happen again. The lesson to be learnt is that: Cheese. Cheese Never Changes.

Its pretty cheesy if you ask me.
