'''Caledonia''' is a friendly trade nation in the +,+ quadrant, founded in August of 2018 by [[Wingzero54]] and [[meat312]], both of whom are [[Yoahtl]] ex-pats.
 
It is connected by rail to [[Iria]], [[Pripyat]], [[Entrana]], [[Freedonia]], and the former [[Brotherhood of Steel]]. It is connected to the 0,0 - [[Mir]] rail through the Iria rail; to [[Vinland]], [[Yoahtl#New Yoahtl City|New Yoahtl City]], and [[Westminster]] through [[Entranan Republic|Entrana]].
 
It is well known for being a welcoming nation full of nice people and for its Securemall, the whitelisted shopping building that requires pre-approval to access to purchase enchanted diamond tools, armor, and weapons.

Although it is a fairly young nation compared to many of the other established civilizations, it has quickly grown prosperous and may be considered one of the wealthiest nations on the server.
 
== History ==
Line 33:
For much of the history of the land that would later become known as Caledonia, it remained for the most part unsettled and unused, though a few odd people came and built a little something.
 
The '''Stone Age settlers''' were mysterious peoples who built primitive structures both above and underground. Among them was [[Kuhlcow]], who built clay houses down in the seldom traveled depths of the central mesa. Those that built underground are unknown, with theories ranging from ambitious newfriends to mole people to ancient aliens. Kuhlcow would later join Caledonia and build a house there, though would become inactive soon after. His house still stands as it is deemed particularly aesthetically pleasing despite his long absence.
 
The notable '''Iron Age settler''' was a player by the name of [[Aamon]]. He built a small house and a wheatfarm, but went inactive for a very long time. He later returned to his house and farm torn down, superseded by the Caledonian XP Wheat farm. He would also join Caledonia and tell stories of the subterranean ruins he found in which the unknown Stone Age Settlers lived.
 
A notable development was a giant wheat field on the Southern Island, built by the great Irian builder [[Retyu]], which would later be claimed over by Caledonia.
 
Other nations had settled around the area that would become Caledonia, though many would fall or become dead through inactivity in later days, even if the owners kept the claims up. [[Iria]] and [[Mir]] had been in the area a long time, as well as the people who would eventually form [[Appomattox]]. [[Aznazia]] (Later renamed [[Brennau]]) [[Provincia]], and [[Pripyat]] had also been in the area before Caledonia's inception.

Caledonia had its' roots in [[Yoahtl]], dreamt up by Yoatlan citizens who had grown disillusioned with the functions and operations of the Yoahtl government. Wingzero54 had served as Councillor for two terms and Deputy Alcuahtl throughout one of those terms. Meat312 served as Councillor for one term.
 
Both had different, but similar, reasons for wanting to leave Yoahtl. The endless government battles on policy and menial details alone was enough to drive anybody insane. Wingzero54 had spent his first council term attempting to push through governmental reforms, and after meeting an impenetrable wall in the form of Dr_Oracle[[Dr Oracle]], spent his second council term coming to grips with how he could function in the Yoahtl government. Eventually Wingzero54 found that he could not stand Yoahtl anymore, his own views on government and operations being so different from Yoahtl's. One aspect which drove a wedge was Yoahtl's deeply ingrained policy of isolation, and for a long time, unwillingness to actively bring in new players.
 
Wingzero54 and Meat312 had gotten to know each other first by working together in the Prot business. Meat312 has been a mainstay in the Prot trade since he started on the server, and Wingzero54 had the ambition of selling discounted prot 3 instead of prot 4. He worked with meat312 to learn the trade and while he ended up just selling Prot 4 (making Prot 3 is just untenable), he forged bonds of friendship with meat312.
