Enumclaw

The **JP Morgan Bank** is a river bank located south of an artificially-created river, found at the northern tip of the unrecognized country Bussy Land. The area was originally part of an isthmus, connecting Bussy Land to Washington State, though a river was constructed in the middle of it, creating the JP Morgan Bank. Originally governed by Bussy Land without opposing forces, control of the area became disputed with the founding of the Orange Republic in June 2022. Currently, the bank is under full military occupation from Enumclaw since an October 2022 invasion.

## History

### As an Isthmus

The area of what would become the JP Morgan Bank was originally an isthmus, connecting Bussy Land to the land of the native Washingtonian State pillagers. Claims of the isthmus from both sides were not defined.

The northern part of the isthmus was officially granted to Washington State by the colony of Enumclaw on April 19, 2022, due to the presence of a pillager outpost in it. Bussy Land proceeded to lay claim to the southern part, which is what is now the JP Morgan Bank.

### Operation Qatar

On June 23, 2022, Enumclaw arrived on the isthmus and began constructing a river in the center, diving the land recognized as belonging to Washington State and the territory claimed by Bussy Land. The division of the isthmus was part of a larger operation nicknamed Operation Qatar, which aimed to turn Bussy Land into an island.

No attempts to stop the construction of a river in the isthmus was made by the Bussy Land Defense Forces, and the river was completed and subsequently enlarged later on. With the operation successful, Bussy Land's territory of the now divided isthmus was named the JP Morgan Bank.

### Control Dispute with the Orange Republic

On June 23, 2022, Orangienblue was sent to Bussy Land by the League of Legends to cause internal conflict in the unrecognized country. Orange proceeded to claim the entire area of Bussy Land under his own Orange Republic, including the JP Morgan Bank. Like many unsettled parts of the island, military control of the area was disputed, with it being unsure who held *de facto* control over it. However, due to the bank's perceived unimportance, no military engagements or attacks occured there.

### Pinyan Invasion

*Main article:* Occupation of the JP Morgan Bank
On October 23, 2022, a single-man army of Enumclaw led by Ian invaded the JP Morgan Bank from Washington State. In the bank, Ian was meet by the Bussy Land army, led by Jade with assistance from a few endermites, who attempted to drive the Pinyan force out. During the battle, much of the bank's forestry was burned down, and the Bozo forces were eventually forced to retreat, leaving the JP Morgan Bank under the occupation of Enumclaw.

## Geography

The JP Morgan Bank is located south of a thin artificially-created river, which to the north, borders Washington State. The JP Morgan Bank primarily consists of a single forest biome, though the very northern tip of the bank is a plains biome. The bank's forestry has been mostly burned down since its Pinyan invasion. It is not above any cave biomes.

On the Bussy Land island, the JP Morgan Bank borders a meadow biome mountain to the south, which served as an advantage of terrain for the Bozos during the Pinyan invasion.
