Caelum-GSF Relations

Both nations and their territories. Caelum is shown in green and GSF in red.

## Participants

 Caelum
 GSF

The relationship between Caelum and the GSF can be split into many phases; while the GSF had an official neutral position with Caelum on for most of Season 1 of Orbis, the same can't be said about Caelum, as they retained a grudge towards GSF due to their initial interaction. Their relations deteriorated further between seasons until reaching a breaking point in early Season 2.

### Phase 1: Early interactions

Although more direct conversations only began much later, the first interaction can be traced back to 1937 BCS, during the first hours of Caelum's existence; When the leader of the then-called SCP Foundation MixedMA warned BrasilBola to not enter the savannah biome. This alongside other incidents of MixedMA disliking the presence of Caelumni players close to his nation, and the knowledge of his high PvP skills caused a sense of antipathy and fear to spread amongst the players of Caelum, and it would stay that way even after the month-long hiatus of MixedMA from the server.

The SCP Foundation would later in the same year propose a Non-Agression Pact with Caelum lasting 21 years, in which they accepted.

The first direct incident between both nations was when Hazelrassic stole 1728 gold ingots and killed many villagers of SCP's Gold farm; Hazelrassic was jailed for one day as punishment by Almaren. It was confirmed later that SCP had plans to invade Caelum, however it never happened.

### Phase 2: Paranoia

During MixedMA's absence from playing, he would talk in the minecraft chats on discord, showing neutrality with Caelum, and even suggesting an alliance with Orientalis to fight in the Peten K'uhul conflict, However it was refused by Danier.

After the collapse of Orientalis, the SCP Foundation created the 5000 Initiative as a defense pact. Caelum joined it alongside Anthropia, New Rome and Beringia to protect themselves from Occidentalis during the Cold War. The SCP Foundation remained neutral during the Caelumni Civil War, but showed disapproval of Hazelrassic's support for Occidentalis.

Even with the 5000 Initiative, this didn't stop the Caelumni government from continuing plans to protect itself from a supposed future SCP Foundation invasion. The construction of the Caelum Iron Dome System was the largest of these plans, and several tests were conducted at the uninhabited border with SCP.

### Phase 3: The Sack of Pesh

Tensions arose once again in Season 2 during the Sack of Pesh. Days before the invasion, Caelum partook in a diplomatic meeting with many countries interested in investing Pesh, and this created a quasi-friendship between both countries. When war broke out, Caelum's leader sent a shipment of weapons to the country, along with many packs of gunpowder which would be used in the self-distruction of Pesh's Capital. This greatly enraged the GSF and Occidentalis.
This eventually led to the last major diplomatic interaction between both countries: The Guarany Treaty, an agreement which created a NAP between both nations for 30 years, along with the fact that Caelum could not fund the enemy side in a conflict in which the GSF were to partake and vice versa. This treaty was signed a few years before the Occi-Drocambalean War.

### Phase 4: Dauk Empire

During the Occi-Drocambalean War, Caelum's leader decided not to enter the conflict by exploiting a loophole in the NAP. This was seen as outrageous by the Caelumni founder, BrasilBola, which quitted the nation shortly after and supposedly burned the Olympic Bow. After the war, Caelumni and Turkish relations remained largely calm, with a only a few incidents. Tensions only arose again during the Great Dauk War, which Caelum was unable to fight in due to the NAP, but this would prove not necessary since the war eventually led to the GSF's demise.

Caelum ended up receiving Lfrith Thorn from the victors of the Great Dauk War, and the city was renamed to Esporatum.
