The '''[[Molossia-Mustachistan War]]''' took place from 22 May - 8 June 2006, between the [[Republic of Molossia]] and Molossia's puppet state, the nation of Mustachistan. The roots of the conflict lay in conflicting territorial claims, a situation aggressively pursued by Mustachistan. Following the outbreak of armed conflict in late May 2006, the Mustachistanis were defeated in three separate battles and sued for peace. Mustachistan was the tongue-in-cheek creation of a friend of [[President Kevin Baugh|President Baugh]] of Molossia, who called himself Sultan Ali-Ali Achsenfree. Sultan Ali founded his own nation not only to participate in the world of small nations, but also as a bit of competition for Molossia.
