Borders of The Republic (disputes not shown)

The **New Collana Republic** was a nation in the south-west of the Venus World, and is the continuation of the Collana Federation from the Vanilla World. It has a pre-world population of 4, although not all players are confirmed to be joining. Founded by the Collana Socialist Worker's Party Council, members of which were the players YouCanCallMeM1k, Thedoczek, Krzug and Malloc62. Later joined the players BlackScorpion18 and cloister\_bell. All members and citizens are treated equally, and therefore all members have the same permissions. It was founded pre-server start, due to being a continuation of a previous world nation, and unified with the Commonwealth of Korelia on the 26th of January 2023.

## Lore

### Post-election

We are starting from the last point of the Collana Federation lore.

In the first election in the Collana Federation, the SWP won an overwhelming victory, with ~53% first-choice votes, 30% more than the 2nd place Nationalists, and ~73% of all votes (with the Leninists) when the next-choice votes were counted. This gave them control of both houses and the presidency, and allowed them to pass sweeping reforms, nearly eradicating inequality, developing North-East Collana, Central Collana and other underdeveloped areas, and rapidly industrialising the nation, building many farms and factories.

With no major scandals and large disorganization among the opposition, they were able to win the second election with ~64% first-choice votes (they also merged with the Leninists, keep that in mind) and ~84% of the votes, when next choices were counted. With such support and ~80% of workers being members of a labour union, the party slowly reformed the nation into a Council Republic.

### The Marovian Affair

The prospering economy, the overwhelmingly socialist politics and the high standard of living spiked the interest of the Empire of Marovia, which started seeing it's former vassal as a potential threat. After seeing 2 months of spiked mobilization and anti-Collani rhetoric in Marovia and it's media, the Councils elected an Emergency Cabinet, which immediately announced mobilisation of the economy and formed the Worker's Army, which started giving workers military training. Both nations expelled each other's diplomats, and with other major nations backing both sides, the world stage was set for a World War.

With war seemingly inevitable, The Emergency Cabinet sent an ultimatum to Marovia, the terms of which were -

1. Return of East Collani Island
2. In return, 20 Diamond Blocks as compensation

While Marovia did not accept these terms, the two sides decided to negotiate, and reached the terms of -

1. Autonomy, with a Collani council having very limited governing power
2. Legalisation of labour unions on the island
3. Non-aggression pact

While neither side was satisfied with the terms, both sides saw war would be too costly, which is why this deal went through.

### The "Calm Ship"

For many years, No major events happened that disturbed the progress of the nation. It stayed a powerful nation, although never reaching global hegemony. It mostly competed with Marovia for being the hegemon of their own region, although no war other than economic war ever happened. Most nations focused on their own regions as well, which caused the world to become a "Calm Ship", with no major global events happening.

#### Mission to Space

The Crown Islands became the first nation to fly out on the height of y:10000, effectively reaching space first. Collana, Valkoria, Hyacynthia, Cascadia, Valoria and their vassals all sent a joint mission "To Space And Beyond", reaching y:23000 and effectively fully leaving the World and reaching Full Space. That was when the Venus World and Mars World were first seen millions of blocks away, although reaching them was seen as "nearly impossible", especially the Mars World.

#### Collapse of Marovia

Marovia, the once greatest power, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed due to ~~all members being banned~~ multiple revolutions laid on each other. The Whole area was destroyed, and most Marovians fled north.

### Globi Warming

#### First reports

Soon after the collapse of Marovia, an independent report made by scientists from many countries reported a change of global climate, with temperatures rising by 0,6°C, a foresaw that on the path the world was going in, that temperature would rise by as much as 4°C. That same report predicted that the water levels on the Vanilla World would rise by 3 blocks within 40 years and 10 blocks in 150 years due to the rises in temperature. this lead to the creation of the Global Climate Assembly, an international body which was meant to limit pollution of countries. While Collana complied with mopst of the regulation, most money went to another space program, which was meant to help move a large group of people to the Venus World.

#### Operation "Star Hunters"

Exactly 18 years after the release of the report, the Collana Committee of Interplanetary Affairs launched a mission, the goal of which was to launch 50 people to the height of y:150000, much higher than the record y:47561 so far reached by the Crown Islands. The mission was a success, with all participants returning safely back. While this was a massive breakthrough to the world, this meant that the current research made under the Operation Star Hunters could be upscaled to take tens, if not hundreds of thousands as far as Venus World. Soon, other nations reached similar results, with Hyacynthia sending 80 people as far as y:260000 7 years later.

#### Space Bus

Seeing the effects of pollution come closer; especially since while nations like Collana or Cascadia were cutting pollutions, some other nations were creating even more pollution; some solution had to be found. The space projects didn't help; it was projected that all of them combined contributed to up to 11% of pollutions. Fortunately, the technology to transport the masses to other planets was becoming more developed. While other nations were creating other technologies, Collana created the Space Bus - a machine being able to travel 780000 blocks with 4000 people onboard. While this was a far distance, it was still too low to reach Venus. It was also incredibly costly, although it was determined that a large machine like this was cheaper and more efficient than lots of smaller machines, and lots of resources were poured into the space project due to the Collani economy being a command economy. Transporting 220000 people through 3 million blocks of space was definitely a challenge, although soon the question of the distance was to be answered.

#### Energy Generating Breakthrough

3 years later, a breakthorugh from the Crown Islands, which were at that point almost fully underwater, would change the space programme forever. They've discovered that combining Crying Obsidian with Blaze Rods and Emeralds can generate electricity on their own, and while it wasn't discovered *how* and *why* this happens, it made the issue of reach no longer an issue, as standard fuel could be used purely to push the Bus into space, and the electricity produced onboard could be used to carry the Bus to its destination. Soon, most of the production in Collana became focused on creating Space Bus' components, and 7 years later 60 Space Buses were already constructed. Despite most of Subczyn being underwater, the vast majority of the population was alive, and the first missions were beginning to be launched.

#### The Travels

The Travels are the period in Collani history when people were getting bored on their space buses and started to come up with new wacky ideas. One of these ideas was the Extremal Socialism doctrine. While existing before The Travels, during the Travels the support base of it grew from a few dozens to thousands. The Extremist Socialists believed that use of all means can be excused to reach a fully communist global society, as well as believing that a more centralized structure of power is needed to upkeep the system. They believed that the nation should assert the dominance of it's system by radically expanding and ignoring borders and other "silly concepts" like that.

idk if i will keep this part tbh, we will see
