= Las Malvinas =

Las Malvinas are a tight-knit group of friends, primarily leftist, who came together towards the end of Civcraft 1.0. The majority of who had split away from the LSIF and who were at the time the majority population of the 1.0 city of Chiapas. Calling a verdant set of islands their new home, they named them after the proper Argentinian name for the British Falklands, Las islas Malvinas. Although their time on the island was short much fun was had there, noteably after the building of the tikki beachside bar.

Coming back together for Civcraft 2.0, the group has grown both in membership and repute, joining in arms with Carson so as to provide extra labour, provisions and personality so as to enrich the group as a whole. They have decided, to fit with the cooperative mentality of Carson, to become a culturally focused settlement, achieving this by allocating resources to the proliferation of books, aesthetically pleasing buildings and other culturally rich endeavours.

Despite words to the contrary from their detractors Las Malvinas stands as one of the most diverse groups in 2.0 and prides itself on it's close family feel and jovial attitude.

= History and Formation =

In the last few weeks of the Civcraft 1.0 server during the RKWildcard drama several members of Las Malvinas who at the time were in the LSIF grew increasingly dissatisfied with what they saw as increasing manipulation and hypocracy from within the LSIF. It eventually culminated in drama when certain members of the LSIF tried to excert control over members friendships with people outside of the LSIF that conflicted with their personal agendas. Believing the LSIF to be a broken and toxic enviroment several of the active LSIF playerbase left and founded Las Malvinas.

Building on a set of mostly man made islands deep inside the 1.0 ++ Las Malvinas barely had time to set down roots before the server ended. The creation of a beach resort complete with tikki beach-side bar was the most glorious achievement of the group during those last few days.

Upon the start of 2.0 Las Malvinas threw themselves into the creation of Carson, becoming an independant co-operative within the federation. Such was their focus on setting up the new city it wasn't until early June that they founded an island home for themselves. Quickly building a small port town they now continue to construct Carson City where they plan to open a public printing press and library.

June also saw the in-game funeral of noteable 1.0 player Erich_Honecker_ in Carson. Himself a member of the group, now off to pursue a life of spreading bullshit across a field rather than the subreddit.

In early July Las Malvinas became the home of the Bane Talks radio show and state-of-the-art radio studio.

Also in July after the completion of the foundations of the city of Carson, Las Malvinas built the city's public library and printing press. It being amongst one of the first buildings to be erected inside the city.
