			In general usage, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_war_(term) cold war] is a condition of sustained hostility that stops short of direct large-scale fighting. The term is used here because the two blocs discussed military preparation and diplomacy without recording a deliberate battle.

The '''Cat Hill–Empire Cold War''' is the political and strategic rivalry between the [[Democratic People's Republic of Cat Hill]] and [[The Empire]]. The term comes from DPRCH discussion on 28 August 2026, when [[catgirlfeet]] said the relationship would be “like [a] cold war.”<ref>DPRCH Council chat, message by x!, 28 August 2026 at 02:36 UTC.</ref>

No war had been declared or fought by the end of the available record. The conflict consisted of geographic separation, mutual suspicion, treaty discussion, fortification plans, weapons research, arguments over player conduct, and persistent disagreement over who was escalating a war that both sides said they did not want.

== Background ==
The immediate background was the proposed [[Exile of Jude|exile of Jude]] on 27 August. Jude and allies developed a separate settlement that became known as the Empire. The DPRCH organized a council later the same day.

== Draft treaty ==
On 28 August, [[SockMonkeyyy]] circulated a proposed non-aggression treaty. It prohibited attack, raiding, griefing, intentional killing, territorial violations, and assistance to hostile action. The signature and date fields were blank. Later messages continued to describe the pact as something the parties had been “trying to sign,” so the document is treated as a draft rather than an agreement in force.

== Military planning ==
DPRCH council members discussed an airship, howitzers, mortars, bunker-busting ammunition, mines, radar, autocannons, missiles, bunkers, and a cannon factory. The most aggressive statements were plans or jokes rather than reports of action. On 29 August, DPRCH members said their bunker and cannons were for defense. Empire-aligned players replied that nearby defenses and requests for gunpowder still appeared threatening.<ref>Broad group chat, discussion among trolling, x!, Shiby, and SockMonkey, 29 August 2026 at 23:47–23:52 UTC.</ref>

His departure from Cat Hill on 29 August removed him from formal DPRCH affiliation without resolving the dispute.

== Status ==
As of 31 August, both groups remained separate and armed planning continued. The server's baseline rules prohibited unauthorized griefing, random killing without a story context, and unilateral exile. Those rules reduced the space for open conflict but did not end the cold war.
