The 1911 Weissersteiner-Pasten Border Incident, also known as the War of Utter Tomfoolery, the Battle of the Dummies, and the 7 Minute War, was a short, undeclared war, between the Father States-controlled Past and the Weissersteiner Empire that occured in [month] [date], 1911, due to an incident involving a card game between the border guards.

The war, which lasted for 7 minutes, is claimed to be the shortest war in Pacifican history. At least 8 people, all of which are border guards, were injured due to the firefight.

The fighting ended when the commanding officer of both sides agreed to end hostilities, which was followed by an agreement between both sides, signed in Mitterdenz, in order to reaffirm the Waldland Question, in which Waldland (or Waldrava) is Weissersteiner soil, as well as setting the Weissersteiner-Pasten border to the post-Weissersteiner Unification War border in 1815.
