Columbia

## United Republic of Columbia

Flag of Columbia

**Columbia**, officially the **United Republic of Columbia,** is a country in North America established on the 23rd of December, 2023, by **Camicomchom.** It is a minor power, politically, mostly focusing on internal construction projects rather than projecting power.

## History

Columbia's history begins before the nation's creation, in President Camicomchom's previous nation, Akkadia. After losing interest in the server and running out of ideas for what to do, Camicomchom left the server and disbanded Akkadia. A few days later, he came back, and, after exploring the world for a while, and briefly joining the Gothic Empire, he went to North America and established Columbia with his friend, SentientComet31.

### Snowy Wool Incident

While Camicomchom was getting set up in Columbia, before he started on any builds, he got into a minor argument with some other players. This would result in many players, including **IrishChild**, **Sikorskiii**, **Bonito\_Pibb**, **Yamaye,** **Shamski**, **AbolishSuburbs** and **rbfj**, walking into Columbia. After a short bit of tense conversation, IrishChild killed Camicomchom. Due to the lag of spawning in, IrishChild would kill Camicomchom multiple more times. This resulted in the tempban of IrishChild and the beginning of tense relations between Columbia and many nations, including Malabar (now Sukhadara) and their at-the-time liege, Timbolia.

### Peacetime Constructions

While some limited arguments between Camicomchom and others would continue during this period, it was marked with relative peace and stability in Columbia. Camicomchom completed the construction of the **Washington Monument**, and, thanks to a generous gift of iron by Shamski, held a small beacon lighting ceremony. After that, he began construction on a **McDonalds**, which he hopes to have a large grand opening event soon. This period would also mark a détente with Timbolia, as Camicomchom would take their side in multiple small arguments, as well as the building of relations with many smaller North American countries, like **Saltland**, **Snom**, and **Vault Tec**.

## Raid of the Washington Monument

### Result

Pyrrhic Columbian Victory

After a large, continuous argument with another player, named **Pussilamous**, after they claimed the former area of Akkadia and claimed Camicomchom's builds there as their own, on the 29th of December, Camicomchom was again harrassed by players. This time, the force consisted of IrishChild, **Karaj**, **Ahmedabad**, **Islam**, **Ezoref**, Pussilamous, and Sikarskii. After seeing the force approach him, Camicomchom would say "Hello" and "welcome" whilst he was being killed, not hitting back at all. After this, **Velvas** offered to help Camicomchom fend off the horde. He was later joined by **DrakonicLarva**, who pushed the harrassers out of Columbia, and **GeneralSalty**, who recorded the entire raid. Camicomchom was killed, in total, around 5 or 6 times, unable to fight back whilst so severely outnumbered. Once Drakonic joined in, however, the harassing force was quickly defeated and expelled out of Columbia. After this clear case of harrassment, Pussilamous would be tempbanned for attempting to lag out the server by spamming boats, and Karaj, Ahmed, and Islam would be warned for harrassment.

### Return to Normalcy

After the multi-hour escapade of the Raid of Washington Monument, Camicomchom would quickly return to his plans, and would plan out his greatest build yet, the **National Archives**, planning it to be a meetingplace, his home, a library, and the place where Columbian government would be ran. SentientComet31 would also be appointed Vice President, after the former VP, an unnamed dog Camicomchom had tamed and put in a boat and never let out, was killed in the Raid of the Washington Monument. Construction on the National Archives began on the 30th of December.

## Foreign Relations

Columbia has very little in the way of formal relations with other countries, due to its small size and inward-looking structure. However, one could currently describe the relations with other nations like so:

**Sundaica**: Allies. Friendly relations.

**Saltland**: Extremely friendly relations.

**Snom**: Friendly relations.

**Vault Tec**: Friendly relations.

**Timbolia**: Complicated relations, mostly negative.

**Sukhadara**: Complicated relations.

**Gothic Empire**: Friendly relations.

**Yorkshire**: Friendly relations.

**Nunarneq**: Friendly relations.
