Big Grass

**Big Grass** is a communist artificial intelligence nation in The Great White Wall area of The Great North region.

## Historical background

The bitter north is host to a terrible, frightening thing: the Scarlet Casket, a massive underground Robobrain facility presided by the mad-machine RELCOM. Enamored with ideas of communism, he has a very simple interpretation that can mean no good for the people of the world: the best way to have compliance and contentment among the working class is to turn them all into machines, just as he was. Thus far, he has failed in every attempt to grow: but this shall be the last time.

He swears it.

Residing in the Scarlet Casket, a Robobrain manufacturing facility located in or around the nation's capitol of Grande Prarie, the Robobrain RELCOM (formerly RELiable COMmunications), wishes to fulfill its self-given purpose of uniting the world in harmony, by converting them into machines.

## Behind the Scenes

* Big Grass originated from an unfinished submod made by StealthArcher and Thyrork, which was integrated into *Old World Blues* in the 4.0 patch.
* Violet took over the nation after its integration, keeping the original name due to its silliness, and made the nation's focus tree besides the icons in less than 48 hours. LusaLy also assisted in its development.

Violet: *"It was the name of the nation when I started working on it, and it's such a silly name that I kept it.

Additionally, the Scarlet Casket specifically refers to the factory RELCOM resides in!"*
