Reykanes
Historically most wars were naval invasions or raids of other coasts, but there has been internal conflict on the island itself. It was effected by colonialism. Some regions were colonised by foreign mainland country as the location of Reykanes is important in controlling the region, being a halfway point between continents.
Rakeo
Post independence, Rakeo has had numerous internal armed conflicts. Experience with external conflicts, such as the decisive defeat of Rakeo in the Surian Fishing War, has led the country to avoid engaging in warfare.
