Illager Faction

The **Illager Faction**, informally known as the **Illager Nation**, is a former breakaway state located east of Brittanica and north of The Old West. It is a faction consisted of several outposts, bases, and main islands where the government is headquartered. With only two islands and small outposts under its control, it is the smallest recognized nation in the world. The capital and largest island is Illager Island.

Originally claimed by BackwardComet at the beginning of the world, the nation officially declared independence on March 27th. It began having economical ties with other nations, forming an alliance with The Old West and trading with Brittanica, at the time the Noob Nation. However, as Brittanica grew more powerful, it began not to recognize the nation as a nation, leading to a power struggle in which it was officially claimed a faction. The Illager Faction was one of the centers of The Problems and some other minor events. After the Arctic Axolotl’s trial, the Illager Faction colonized an island.

The Illager Faction is a developed country with a high agricultural value. It is a member of the United Nations. The country suffers from low quality of life, making it one of the weaker nations and more vulnerable to poverty.

## History

### Early Days

The Illager Faction originally started out as a nation headquartered on Illager Island. Originally claimed by BackwardComet, it was a pillager outpost left abandoned on a small island. The nation was originally isolated from the main settlement, but after Main Street was built, connecting the two nations, the Illager Nation became influential. After The Old West declared independence, the two nations forged a non-aggression pact in case of war.

### First Outposts and Trouble with The Lollie

The Illager Nation wanted to expand its influence, so it build ugly towers out of blackstone in two places around the populated area: one by the extreme hill, and another by Secondary Street. These two outposts contained spare weapons and armor just in case the capitol was taken in a time of war. After The Bank was built in The Old West, BackwardComet stored his stuff there, but The Lollie stole stuff from the bank, the majority being from BackwardComet and MangoJr. Enraged, BackwardComet tracked down and tried to kill The Lollie, but was unsuccessful. The Lollie continued to steal items from BackwardComet until he killed The Lollie; after that MangoJr and Beaver put Lollie in the jailhouse, only for him to escape. Having had enough, on April 10th, The Lollie was put under house arrest in the Noob Nation.

### Second Declaration of Independence

MangoJr began to claim the land was his soon after The Lollie was retained, and BackwardComet refused. As much as MangoJr wanted to take it, he began to have bigger problems involving Vostoria (Mountain Men) and didn’t use force. The Illager Nation declared itself a faction on April 17th, and the land hasn’t been claimed by other nations since. The Old West was given to BackwardComet by Beaver, but it was later taken by Thtsupguy.

### Militarization of the Illager Nation

Weeks passed without anything major happening, until the May 5th Terrorist Bombings. After this, the Republic of Vostoria fell into instability. BackwardComet felt as if his nation was going to war, or would in the near future, so on May 7th, 2022, he began construction on a secret base housing all his armor, weapons, food, materials, potions, and more. This was to prevent people like The Lollie or Thtsupguy stealing anything important from him, like diamonds.

The Illager Nation then began colonization of an island on June 6th, 2022, which was named Plains Island. The islands purpose is to be a much bigger plant and animal farm then what the Illager Nation had before, in case of a future conflict. The Illager Nation announced it had possession of Netherite on June 11th, 2022.

On June 28th, the BVC raided BackwardComet’s secret base and accused him of false claims that he was working with wanted terrorist MicroRaptor. As a apology for the misunderstanding, the BVC returned his stuff and gave him a little extra. The next day, BackwardComet began construction on a large building that he won’t reveal until it is finished, however it is suspected people will know what it is when its finished.

## Government

The only current member of the faction so far is BackwardComet, and thus he is the president and prime minister of the faction, the general of the army, and the secretary of homeland security and colonization.

## Economy

The Illager Nation runs on a capitalist society made mostly of mining and agriculture. The Illager Nation also utilizes bartering with other countries to get powerful and otherwise expensive resources that they did not have before. The official currency is Gold, but Diamonds and Netherite are still accepted. Iron and Emeralds are not accepted.
