Edens Island

The Union of Edens Island, Commonly known as Edens Island, is a small island nation located within the +,+ Quadrant, just 40 blocks off the eastern coast of the Maltovian Oblast of the CCCP and also being quite close to Cortesia Del Mar. Edens Island size largely consists of its Namesake, Eden's Island (~.15 km2), with 8 islands and islets within its claims, the largest of these lesser islands being New Failaka.

Eden's Island is led by a council of 6 members led by Ieatmykidz773 (also known as The_Humbugg), who came together on June 10th to establish their own nation on the server, with the first to reach the island being Ieatmykidz773 and ShibeKing_. The main settlement on the island, Vinny Ville is based on an abandoned settlement the two came across and subsequently claimed.

Eden's island for the most part is a pacifistic country, with an emphasis on forging strong relations with its neighbours and other countries, though they do maintain a small army for defense purposes. Currently, the population of the island is 5, however it is expected that around 3 more will join the country (as of writing this).

Eden, as a new nation has yet to properly establish itself, however the leader of Edens island intends to establish its reputation and economy on the trade of Cartography, general services, and map art.

History
Edens Island came into existence while the members of the council were in a voice chat, and Humbugg brought up Civclassics. The group decided to join and form their own nation, however they initially planned to settle some of the nether islands further into the quadrant, however ShibeKing_ and Humbugg decided they were too difficult to settle and as such decided to search for a different island and annex the nether islands later, where they would stumble upon Edens island, and claim it as their own. The island was fortunately equipped with a village and massive farm, despite not being claimed by any nation.

Immediately after being established, Humbugg would begin building ties with other nations as well as posting about the nation to the subreddit, to positive reception in part due to the Flag being well made. As of late, Edens island has begun establishing firendly relations with several nations, including its neighbours in the Maltovian Oblast.

Government and Culture
Eden's island is governed by a council of 6 people (3 currently on the server, 3 to join soon), led by Ieatmykidz773 (Humbugg). Each of the governors lay a claim onto one of the nether islands. Eden's island primarily follows the Edenism faith, though each member worships different deities (such as Kuwait, Desmond Hall, Helltaker, etc.). The members of the council each lay claim to an island from a section of the Nether Archipelago.

Eden's island is based on an abandoned settlement and as such is generally supplied with food and farms. As such, the nation has made moves to base its economy on cartographical trade.
