Ceylon (/sɪˈlɒn/)
The island of Ceylon remained uninhabited until it was scouted by [[Pirater]] and SwiftFizz in April 2019. The idea of Ceylon began in mid-April 2019 after Pirater's pearling and involvement in the [[Nyasaland#Nyasan-Channer_War|Channer attack on Nyasaland.]] Members of Soviakorps were interested in starting a new city, one where they would no longer raid and be able to live peacefully in relative isolation. Ceylon's mountainous terrain and height provided an excellent advantage to the New Sovian settlers, and after Pirater's unbanning they began to develop farms and infrastructure on Ceylon Island.
Life in Ceylon is relatively peaceful for the inhabitants, aside the occasional drama which occurs every now and then. Despite the fearmongering of the critics and haters who stand united against Ceylon, there has been zero proven involvement of its residents in griefing, as they prefer much more pleasant hobbies such as peacefully wheat farming and digging. The citizens of Ceylon are world-renowned workers, having dug millions of blocks across the world, constantly pouring their productivity into monuments which will definitely stand the test of time. The residents however would rather keep to themselves, which is why it is necessary for all visitors to seek a Visa, or face the risk of imprisonment. However, as of the 7th of July 2019, the city was completely seized by SwiftFizz, causing all the other inhabitants to leave and start elsewhere.

=== Growth ===
With Pirater's banning in mid-April 2019, the population growth of Ceylon stagnated. Swift and GamePhobic were the only active players, and construction had not yet begun. Fortunately, after 2 weeks and a ban appeal, Pirater was finally unbanned in May 2019 - and finally able to help the city grow. The population settled at 3 for a bit (excluding iakwai, who was on the run at the time). They began work on farms, a trench and the world's tallest skyscraper, estimated to be complete some time around July 2019. During this time, an influx of players began to join, including wjkroeker (who helped contribute to the Old Sovian Quarter in MtA). While due to the secure Visa policy, Ceylon is not as populated as it could be, houses have started popping up around the island alongside numerous farms and mines.#
=== Clown Wars ===
During the month of June 2019, tensions reached a boiling point between the residents of Ceylon and Icenia. Icenian mugo/LordChieftain was pre-emptively pearled by SwiftFizz after visiting the island, and dropped multiple stacks of TNTon his death, causing the Sovians to believe Icenia was planning a pre-emptive strike. This caused the residents of Ceylon and the rest of the Heavenly Concord alliance to head towards Icenia for a peaceful protest against Icenian discrimination of Sovian Citizens. The protest started initially peaceful, until SwiftFizz began to shoot at Lagiacrus11, and then eventually NovaZephyr, Swift and GamePhobic all engaged on Lagiacrus11. Pirater (despite not engaging combat or doing any type of grief) was pearled by Lil_Wayne/Thoths, although they were shortly freed by AnimeSprings afterwards. Lil_Wayne proceeded to attack BritishWanderer as part of a staged pearling, causing lots of drama with Corvus/Evocat0r by the UNC. The Sovian Marines fled to the end portal, where they were teleported back to Ceylon. A day later, Quanton_Biscuit was pearled by SwiftFizz while building his house in Icenia, and the pearl was extradited via end portal to Ceylon. The borders were closed, and the city entered a heightened state of security until peace was established with Icenia.
=== Betrayal and Destruction ===
On the 7th of July 2019, Pirater was asked by SwiftFizz to come raiding with him Appomattox. Previously, Pirater had stolen a stack of Birch Logs from Normandy (a dead Civ), and also broke an empty chest in wayrest. The damages under the amount of 3 diamonds caused Khazarak, Llamma and Swift to bait Pirater towards Appomattox into a house with an open door. Once Pirater and Swift entered the building, Khazarak and OsllammaBinLaden logged in and potted up on the stairs, and SwiftFizz shut the door - leaving Pirater to get pearled. The pearl of Pirater was given to BennyZ and extradited to the Nyasaland vault, while SwiftFizz stole the groups and things built by the rest of Ceylon for himself - causing the majority of residents in Ceylon to leave once and for all as they were unable to use their land and groups.

=== Foreign Relations ===
Ceylon is a fairly controversial city when it comes to Foreign Relations. Very on in the earliest days of Ceylon, there were constant rumours that the UNC was planning to destroy Ceylon, with their citizens trespassing on the land. However, this hostility died down after changes to the government of [[Nyasaland]] and Pirater's apology for the Palgrave Bombings and paying of reparations. Ceylon aims to be a world city. Diplomatic missions have been carried out to Ceylon, which have successfully resulted in good relationships with some nearby nations such as Wakanda. However, the city is still viewed with distrust by several nations in the world as a result of several members being involved in the Palgrave bombing prior to the founding of Ceylon.
