Bloom is a developed nation. Since the start of 2019, Bloom has been comparable Mt. Augusta and Icenia as a newfriend and architectural center. Because of its semi-high activity and large population, Bloom has developed a powerful legal system, strict building codes, extensive rail connections, and a militia that has a large presence in domestic affairs. The capital city of Bloom has seen fast development, much of building being concentrated in the western end of the capital. Bloom was historically a member of the United Northern Congress and is currently a member of the United Defense Front with its neighboring nations, Icenia and Imperial Truidence.
At the start of 2019, Bloom was comparable to [[Mt. Augusta]] and nearby [[Icenia]] as a [[newfriend]] and architectural centre. Around this time Bloom developed a powerful legal system, strict building codes, extensive rail connections, and a militia that had a large presence in domestic affairs. The capital city of Bloom saw fast development, much of building being concentrated in the western end of the capital. Bloom was historically a member of the [[United Northern Congress]] was a member of the [[United Defense Front]] with its neighboring nations, [[Icenia]] and [[Imperial Truidence]].

During the [[Infinity War]] in 2020, Bloom was ousted from the [[UDF]] by [[Columbia]] over concerns about their ties to enemy combatants [[NATO]]. Almost all of Bloom's population departed shortly afterwards for [[CivRealms]], leaving its land in the care of [[Ashelor]] resident [[Slushhi]] and neighbouring ally [[Icenia]].

After more buildings rose, Parliament had its first major dispute. Aleh56's Free Democratic Party wanted to enclose the capital in a wall and trench, much like NYC (New Yoahtl City). Slushhi's Libertarian Party opposed this as Bloom, the main argument being that it would make it harder for people to trade with Bloom and it would hurt Bloom's economy. Though Bloom did not have the volunteers needed to complete such a task. Construction of the wall and trench began shortly after Bloom joined Civ but expansion of the trench was called off after a month and the walls have remained incomplete ever since.

====== The Slushhi Ministry ======
=== The Slushhi Ministry ===
In September of 2018, Slushhi won the election for Prime Minister. His first act as Prime Minister was opening Bloom to the rest of the server. He built several entrances going over the trench into the city. During the beginning of his ministry, he worked primarily on international rail lines connecting Bloom to the rest of the server. He lead many Bloomeans to complete lines to 0,0, Mt. Augusta, and Gensokyo. He also dug many internal lines connecting the capital city to Bloom's varying biomes.

=== Aleh56's Resignation and Constitutional Reform ===
After months of inactivity in-game, Aleh announced his resignation from President in June of 2019. An election was then held where the citizens voted in Slushhi to lead Bloom. As President, Slushhi heavily edited the constitution, in which he abolished the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's powers were then given to the President and Home Secretary. He also created the House of Lords, which can act as both Parliament members and Judges.

=== Infinity War and Decline ===
The server-spanning conflict known as the [[Infinity War]] led to significant challenges for Bloom and ultimately resulted in its decline as an active nation. In 2020, Bloom was a member of the [[United Defense Front]] against [[NATO]]. [[Columbia]], a fellow UDF member, became increasingly concerned about Bloomean Home Secretary [[Truck_Man1234]]'s personal friendships with members of [[NATO]].

These concerns came to a head one night in 2020, when Columbian Emperor [[Shadedoom]] made an announcement in the UDF Discord server and issued an ultimatum - '''if Bloom didn't leave the UDF, Columbia would.''' As Columbia represented a significant ally for UDF members due to its military and geopolitical power, this went unchallenged and Bloom was forced to leave the alliance.

The manner in which Bloom was expelled from the UDF overall soured relations between it and other members - the ultimatum was unexpected, and surprisingly unchallenged by those they considered allies. Due to this, Bloomeans felt that they were not welcome in the '''-,-''' and their contributions to the war were not valued. The decision was made to move Bloom's community to another server, and the majority of the population moved for a fresh start on [[CivRealms]].

President [[Slushhi] remained as the last active member of Bloom, maintaining its vault and other infrastructure. The claims of Bloom, while still formally owned by the nation, are as of January 2021 under the administration and protection of nearby [[Icenia]]. While some members log on from time to time, overall Bloom as a functioning political entity has effectively ceased to exist as of January 2021.

'''[[Holy Jaded Empire|HJE]]'''-'''Bloom Relations'''
'''[[Holy Jaded Empire|HJE]]'''-'''Bloom Relations'''


Blooms foreign relations started on its first day. Bloom first was in contact with the HJE, who gave starting materials such as picks, snitches and bastions to the young new friend country. The HJE provided jobs for Bloom through digging work at HJE vault projects, these actions would kick start Blooms economy and help Bloom become a regional economic power. Since this time Bloom has become more distant with the HJE, especially since the advent of the Mir-NATO war.

Due to the [[Infinity War]], relations with HJE became strained due to Bloom's membership of the [[UDF]].

Bloom maintains a positive attitude with SATO, due to distance and different goals SATO-Bloom have not had a lot of contact, although recently with the dissolution of the UNC Bloom was seeking relations with this long standing, stable alliance, but was turned away.
Bloom had mostly positive relations with SATO, but had little contact with them due to distance and differing goals. Following the dissolution of the [[UNC]], Bloom sought to join SATO but was turned away.


'''[[NATO]]-Bloom Relations'''
'''[[NATO]]-Bloom Relations'''


Bloom maintains a positive attitude with NATO, back when they were FRIENDS, and contact with the HJE was still established Bloom was considering joining FRIENDS, although Bloom eventually decided to go with the UNC after its formation.
Bloom's relations with NATO were mixed. Due to their strong relations with the HJE, Bloom at one point considered joining [[FRIENDS]], a precursor alliance to NATO consisting of many of the same members. Bloom eventually decided to go with the [[UNC]] after its formation, setting it at an opposition to a group filled with many friends.


'''[[Mir]]-Bloom Relations'''
'''[[Mir]]-Bloom Relations'''


Bloom has very little contact with Mir, as their location and isolationist policy has made contact very sparse and far between, with such similar flags though Mir and Bloom are sometimes mistaken for one another, and is a running joke between the two nations.

'''The [[UDF]]'''
'''The [[UDF]]'''


The United Defensive Front was formed post-UNC as a defensive alliance between multiple developing nations including [[Icenia]], [[Imperial Truidence]], and Bloom. Blooms large reason for founding this alliance was a hole left in it's ability to defend itself because of the UNC collapse and the SATO rejection, along with a major healing in relations due to diplomacy attempts by Truck_Man1234 making Icenia and Bloom closer to allies. The UDF has ended up being a very positive alliance between the founding countries, members like Lagiacrus11, SoundTech, and more have nothing but sponsored Bloomean economic growth, and Bloom in turn theirs. Unlike the late-stage UNC defensive meetings, the UDF meetings weren't quiet and uncomfortable for all attending parties, the UDF meetings are active, all heads attend, and issues discussed in a warm manner due to the likeminded goals of all parties involved. Bloom has been responsible with it's international network for the intelligence aspect of the UDF, along with a large bit of experience on civclassics helping Icenia with their policy/infrastructure. Imperial Truidence has served as a sort of connection between the UDF and Entente,. All nations carry weight with their memberships and Bloom has been able through this alliance to "start up it's engines" and continue with major infrastructure projects that were put on hold after the UNC collapsed, and at a faster speed.
