Ex clades spacelli

In the context of war, Ex clades spacelli is a custom upheld between opposing nations to aid their wounded or starving. It is considered honorable for the winning beligerent to give the losers "LOTSA SPAGHETTI" to nourish their troops and the fallen civillians. It was officially declared a Law of War in 1498, by the king of the High Penguin Confederacy at the time. Translated from Latin, it literally means "after defeat, spaghetti".

Background
It was always part of HP doctrine, in addition to the bells and spirits, to nourish the fallen, even if the enemy happened to be the victim. High Penguins belived that everyone was worthy of assistance, and that, even though they are fighting one another, all penguins, even the "lowers", deserved care. Just because they had different viewpoints didn't mean they were to be disrespected. They had families and loved ones on the home front as well.

There are no facts on how Ex clades spacelli came to be, so legend filled the gaps.

The most popular lengend is as follows: "The invention of spaghetti had just dawned a little while back, and took the Confederacy by storm. It caught on as the dish to give to the fallen after one soldier heard another talking about their mother's cooking. The commander told an infantry penguin that 'he hoped she made LOTSA SPAGHETTI!'."

Though it is truly unknown how spaghetti became the meal for the fallen enemy, this legend is acknowledged the most by historians.

Since then, with few exceptions, all major wars have abided by Ex clades spacelli, and it is a continuing practice to this day.

Ex clades spacelli in history
Since its draft in the HPC code, Ex clades spacelli has been performed throughout all major wars in the past millineum or so.


 * In the Great War, the militias of the Grand Ol' Land (and a few Naughtzee) gave LOTSA SPAGHETTI to their defeated and shocked foes. However, for the most part, Whoot Smackler Whoot failed to abide this custom, which simply increased the despisal the High Penguins already had for him. Whoot's excuse was that "Noob-faces can provide for themselves".
 * During the Colonial Revolution, both sides gave spaghetti to their foes, though extreme cases (like the dishonorable Revolutionists who kidnapped Captain Mccane) neglected this.

Ex clades spacelli today
Providing LOTSA SPAGHETTI is a long-standing tradition which has carried through the centuries, and is still practiced to this day. In the Great Darktonian Pie War, Ex clades spacelli was performed by the High Penguin spirit referrees. In Power4U Affair, the Good Guys did so, though the villains did not. In Wikia Catastrophe, the CPFW and Mario realms of the Multiverse provided LOTSA SPAGHETTI, though others did not, because Ex clades spacelli did not exist in them.

Instances include the following:


 * Great Snowzerland War: In the aftermath of every single GSW (except the GSWIV), the USA has mailed Swiss Ninja several large vats full of hot, delicious spaghetti, to be distributed amongst the army. Naturally, Swiss Ninja just gorges himself on it.


 * Snoss-Castillan War: The Ligurians gave out pasta to both the Castillans and the Snoss. Castilla was nice enough to send Snowzerland a vat of Paella, but Swiss Ninja ate everything for himself as usual. The Snoss gave Spätzle to Castilla's soldiers in return.

Trivia

 * Instead of Pasta, the Snoss give Spätzle to their enemies.
 * The Castillans give Paella since Castillans don't make pasta.
 * The Zhouese give regular noodles.
