**Collana** was a nation located in the region of Collana on the Vanilla World. It was founded on the 7th of July, 2022 by the player YouCanCallMeM1k. It was disbanded on the 8th of August, after a deal between Collana, Saor Alba and Marovia to partition the lands was finalised. It went through many different forms of government in its short existence - direct democracy, dictatorship, semi-democratic republic, dictatorship again, anarchy, democratic failed state, and lastly a direct democracy again. The last capital and largest city was Pak'istan. Through its existence, the republic peaked at 5 players, but when it was annexed, it only had 1. It later became the Collani Autonomous Region under Collani-Alban Administration, and then transformed to the Collani Autonomous Republic.

## History

### Pre-server start

The nation was founded on the 7th of July, 2022 by the player YouCanCallMeM1k, as a union between the different tribes living in the region. It was founded as a direct-democratic republic, with all entities having the right to vote.

On the next day, the republic was overthrown by the Collana Crisis Committee led by the player E5TE, who assumed power at 12PM GMT. 2 hours later, E5TE brought back the republic, limiting voting rights only to players and restricting YouCanCallMeM1k's voting rights and sending them into exile for the duration of 3 weeks. it was within these 2 hours that the population of the republic increased from 2 to 5. At 6PM GMT, a general strike of Hnnngc'llani Villagers started on the streets of Pak'istan, demanding the restoration of their voting rights and greater autonomy for the Lower Collana region.

The army under the leadership of SiLo5403 attacked the striking demonstrators, killing 1 and injuring 6. This lead to the villagers declaring independence and declaring war on the republic at 6:19PM, officialy starting the Pak'istani rebellion. The rebellion was officially defeated at 1:37PM on the 9th of July.

During the rebellion, E5TE brought back the dictatorship, after learning of a plot by SiLo5403 to launch a military coup. He also granted Its\_Pat360 the title of chancellor for his loyalty. Its\_Pat360 was declared an enemy of the state 46 minutes later, after he threatened to coup E5TE if the flag isn't changed to the polish flag.

Despite being declared an enemy of the state, Its\_Pat360 remained the chancellor after E5TE stated his will to "negotiate". 10 minutes after E5TE declared Its\_Pat360 an enemy of the state, he revoked the declaration after "coming to an arrangement", which resulted in a flag change.

### Dictatorship

At 3PM GMT, on the 9th of July 2022, E5TE announced the “5 Day Plan” aiming to rebuild the nation and weaken the villager’s position in the nation. E5TE announced the building of a new capital, which resulted in the looting of pak’istan. The chancellor, Its\_Pat360, ordered the building of an internment camp north of the city 3 minutes later, where villagers were forced underground to mine rare materials such as iron, lapis lazuri and diamonds. It was also later discovered that some were also killed with smoke in secret chambers inside the camp.

Around 7:20 PM GMT, E5TE with Its\_Pat360 attacked the Principality of Veretzen without a declaration of war, by looting the house of Jae69 (a moderator) and killing them once. This caused E5TE to be tempbanned for 4 hours and Its\_Pat360 resigning from the position of chancellor for 26 minutes.

23 hours later, E5TE griefed a Veretzian house, which resulted in him getting banned for 6 hours. Despite these repetitive „border skirmishes”, neither Collana, nor Veretzia declared war on each other.

### Ban crisis

On the 11th of July, ReviewedAtom got muted for 3 days for death threads, which resulted in him leaving the server. On the same day, Its\_pat360 got banned for saying that the Bosnians deserved to have genocide committed upon them. on the same exact day, E5TE got banned for the duration of 3 days for repetitive griefing, which was later extended to 6 days. On the 18th, E5TE got permabanned for another instance of griefing. This left only SiLo5403 as the last non-exiled member, but he left due to "becoming apathetic to the whole mc rp thing". M1K returned from exile on the 30th of July, due to a long journey back to the republic from the location they were exiled to.

The actions of the Crisis Committee had been so destructive to the Collani population, 75% of the indigenous peoples have either left or gotten killed by the regime. This allowed the Kociewian People to settle in the south and form a majority in some areas during the anarchy times.

### Saor Alba - Marovia deal

M1K tried to reestablish order in Collani lands, but the truth was clear - Collana was overstretched. Which is why when Marovia started eyeing up terrain that Collana held outside the region, it became clear that Collana would have to be subjugated or completely disbanded. That is why when Saor Alba offered autonomy and protection to the region, the deal was quickly accepted. Marovia also purchased an island for 6 diamond blocks, a price considered too low by the Collani people, but too high by international observers. The deal became official on the 8th of August and led to the disbanding of Collana. The Collana Republic turned to the Collani Autonomous Region under Collani-Alban Administration, which later became the Collani Autonomous Republic.
