The Metafederation of Garundistan
The MetaFedaration of Garundistan is a nation streching across various maps but, currently mainly based out of Civcraft.

Government
Garundistan is run by a diarchy.
The diarchy currently consists of the Right Regent (anidnmeno) and the Left Regent (Miner_Steve77, also Prefect of Transylvania), "right" and "left" being chosen as a title so as not to imply anything other than equal power, showing they're on the same level.
A new constitution was recently written along with a list of laws
Constitution: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SyyDPPKRpxOrqK98lacDCxh1K7jKdGxCFEAMEjVl4pI/edit?usp=sharing
Laws: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19bX-fmRP3rcJn4p7XloniXUC3j4niEanuKo1V50mr8I/edit?usp=sharing
Also with this came an absurd amount of federal agencies: http://civcraft.org/doku.php?id=groups:nations:garundistan:agencies
Economy
Garundistan is mostly capitalist but does sometimes use communal storage.
Theoretically, their currency is the New Scruple, adapted from the old Scruple, but one new Scruple is set at 2 Old scruples, or about 6.70USD [3.35USD apiece]. No word yet if the currency will ever make a Civcraft debut, mostly after trade becomes a thing there.
To be proposed for future use is the Garundi Scruple, a local currency to be matched with 22 iron ingots apiece.
Geography
Garundistan 1 consists of Minecraft X360 TU9 Forest, Desert, and Swamp biomes.
Garundistan 3 consists of Minecraft PC Jungle, Plains, and Swamp biomes.
Garundistan 5 was built under a Roofed Forest, until it caught fire and was technically abandoned.... for a Mesa biome, wherein the seat was destroyed in a creeper explosion.
Transylvania Prefecture and Craftlang Prefecture are located in a rare haunted forest biome, with CFL having a more expansive Beach biome at it's edges than Transylvania.
History of Garundistan
The name "Garundistan" comes from the proto-Garundi root -garund(a)-, meaning "grunge", and the cognate -istan, because I like the way that shit sounds. Seriously, say it. "Garundistan". Garundistan has almost always been a figment of anidnmeno's imagination, until anidnmeno discovered these e-legos, and decided it was time to make it a thing.
The Diarchy of Garundistan
<WRAP right 250px>

| Downtown Talanon, Talanon Prefecture, Garundistan I |
</WRAP> In it's infancy, Garundistan started as a creative-mode test bed for anidnmeno's then-fledgling minecrafting skills. Using MC X360, title update 9, and the seed "anidnmeno" (of course), the original spawn point was directly over a road shaped outcrop of rock, with some nearly flat featured land around, where the first buildings of the future capitol, to be named Talanon, would be developed.
After a few months of dicking around in Garundistan I, the idea was put before the loving community at /r/conlangs, and a benevolent yet clueless soul decided that a PC Minecraft server for those with constructed languages should be formed. It was at that point that Garundistan II was formed.
This is a line of sample text i put here so my images align. Ignore this.

| Downtown Talanon, Talanon Prefecture, Garundistan II |
</WRAP> On the conlang server, anidnmeno found a jungle about 750m away from spawn, and built a humble cobblestone outpost, in what was to become the next iteration of the capitol, not a separate city, but legally the same entity as the original Talanon, just in a different location. With much help from their neighbors and then-closest allies, the city-state of Mokuhr, Garundistan I went from a simple cobble base, to arguably the center of culture of the server. In it's heyday it occupied at least 3 square kilometers of land, consisting of 4 Prefectures, one of which, Overia, was ceded to them by its owner after a map upgrade.
The fall of the Diarchy and the rise of New New Garundistan
Eventually, the server lease for Garundistan II lapsed, and the whole thing was relegated to anidnmeno's hard disk, to live on as a reminder of Garundistan's legacy. <WRAP right 250px>

</WRAP> After the fall, anidnmeno embraced the Bergecraft server, being a spinoff of Civcraft and where the non-early CC adopters from Craftlang located themselves, finding a nice roofed forest to found the next territory within.
Resources were much harder to obtain here compared to Craftlang, so, being out of the way and relatively quiet, Kuci grew slowly, knowing full well lack of stone for building reinforcement would be it's downfall.
Kuci burned to the ground in early April 2014, due to a flaming arrow shot by a goddamn skeleton. One arrow. ONE. So much for that, huh?
NNG tried once more in a mesa biome, only to be overshadowed by the formation of....
The Metafederation of Garundistan and Saraliana, a match made on Craftlang
Finally, anidnmeno stops being a chickenshit and heads on over to Civcraft. Once thought to be alone in it, anidnmeno finds another jungle, off in the minus plus and begins building Garundistan anew. Saraliana Protectorate was having none of that foolishness and invited the Metafederation to an island they had around to begin building. And a free ally. From craftlang. Awwww yiss.
