The July 2020 diplomatic incident, also known as the Summer 2020 diplomatic incident, was a diplomatic incident between The League of Conservative Nations (LCN) and several other regions that began on 4 July 2020 when officials from The Union of Democratic States (UDS) took issue with the LCN's moderation policies regarding offensive language on their Discord server and withdrew embassies. The Order of the Grey Wardens (TGW), The East Pacific (TEP), and The Free Nations Region (FNR) also subsequently withdrew embassies, citing concerns about out-of-character moderation. Right to Life (RtL) also severed ties with the LCN, however mainly due to their opposition of World Assembly Delegate and Director of Foreign Affairs San Carlos Islands' decision to vote in favor of a General Assembly resolution guaranteeing the right to abortion.
Following the incident, the Consulate of the Republic began reforming the LCN's Discord server moderation policies. The server rules were changed to prohibit usage of slurs and other offensive language, and the Server Moderation Team increased its strictness in enforcing the rules. In February of 2021, six months after the incident, the Consulate decided that their reforms had been sufficient enough to revitalize the region's diplomatic outreach and begin reestablishing ties with certain regions.
