Added a lot of new history to the description of Columbia. Some of it is probably biased, I encourage those with knowledge onto this situation to correct me if I am wrong/biased in any areas.

=== CivClassic 2.0: Part 2 ===
After leaving NATO, Columbia attempted to return to a peaceful lifestyle, permitting people who had left the nation to escape the war to return. Notably the Rhodesians came to Columbia wanting to escape the endless bombardment of Hjaltland Raids against their vault and city. Kdeeks was one of these Rhodesians, being present previously, he quickly gained power and helped the Rhodesians get a leg up within Columbian Politics. While this all seemed good and well, there was a few notable incidents that caused this group of players to begin pushing away from Emperor Shadedoom, and the other citizens of Columbia. The Rhodesians created the experience complex of "Rhodes" in the northernmost tip of Columbia, however this complex came under fire after it was reinforced under different groups from Columbian Federal groups. Which the complex was originally supposed to be constructed on. After much debate, both sides chose to permit 3 citizens of Columbia ownership on all groups including federal ones. Those 3 citizens would be Shadedoom, lemuractionnews, and kdeeks. This helped prevent the possibility of a civil war for some time. However the peace provided from the agreement was short. Robokaiser, a known leader of the NATO alliance, pearled kdeeks. Amongst the confusion of the incident, things began getting thrown around, shadedoom was occupied due to unknown reasons, unable to respond to what questions his citizens were asking him. Robokaiser chose to release supposed "evidence" of shadedoom requesting NATO to pearl kdeeks, in an attempt to punish him for crimes that shadedoom later found out kdeeks did not commit. Shadedoom when he was able to get online, provided evidence to kdeeks that he had in-fact ordered NATO to not pearl kdeeks, as he had found out that kdeeks had not committed the crimes he had accused him of. Kdeeks chose to not believe shade, resulting in the beginning of the Columbian Bush War.
Kdeeks began this war by initially removing shadedoom and many other Columbians off of every single group he had access to, including federal groups he did not own. Utilizing a group merging bug that had never been patched he was able to steal the groups out from under shadedoom. The admins chose not to revoke such thing, since it had been done many times in the past. Shadedoom and most of the other columbians who had been removed fled to nearby Valyria, which had escaped the groups being stolen. lemuractionnews was not removed as an owner on most of the groups, due to kdeeks believing that lemur would choose his side as opposed to shadedoom. Against kdeeks best judgement lemuractionnews proceeded to steal a few of the groups before he in turn was removed from the rest. Lemur quit immediately afterwords choosing to take a break rather than watch what he believed would likely be the end of Columbia.
Shadedoom initially attempted to negotiate with kdeeks, however the demands requested by the Rhodesians and Kdeeks were far too much to ask of him, as well as they always ended with him never being permitted on the groups ever again. At this point, shadedoom considered the groups lost. He chose to prepare Valyria for the soon incoming attack that would likely be the Rhodesians attempt at securing shadedooms pearl. This in turn forced shadedoom to request the valyrians help, and kick Columbia back into overdrive in order to retake the homeland.
Currently, international support for both sides was not clear. The UDF supported Shadedoom due to his past relations with them, the Entente, was busy with the Laconia conflict, and NATO seemed to be confused as to which side to support. Two foreign nationals from Nyasaland, Kaloa_HG and Aivius chose to help Columbia out with its situation. Leading NATO to believe that Entente was backing the Oomist Faction.
The conflict continued on for some time, until in an poor attempt to attack the Crucible, all of the Rhodesian attackers except for Gthomas4 were pearled. (I'd reccomend reading [[Columbian Bush War|The Columbian Bush War]] for more information on this conflict.)
This in turn ended the Columbian Bush War, however without the groups to the main city Rotterdam and its vault Sempiternal, it would remain a hot pit of dangerous traps and conflict until the near future.
==== NATO Attack ====
In the late hours of a cold January night, Doommad and Kaloa_HG traveled to Rotterdam, in an attempt to have some new players who had accidentally stumbled into the hostile lands leave. During this attempt to have these new players leave, Doommad and Kaloa_HG were attacked by Urban_2 a known NATO account. Shadedoom contacted NATO leader Hantzu and requested to know what was going on, only to be bombarded with insults and useless chatter about how he had supposedly 'betrayed' him and such. In turn forcing Shadedoom to assist the UDF and Entente forces in attacking Pinkerton. During the attempted first recovery of Rhodes, Columbian and UDF forces found a tunnel that supposedly went all the way to the Hallow vault, an exile scout was sent down the tunnel, only to be killed by a city bastion bouncing them into stone. Due to the fact that this tunnel had seemingly gone all the way to the ~2000 block city bastion perimeter of the Hallow vault, it seemed viable that it may go all the way to the vault, however Shadedoom chose to ignore this in hopes that initially NATO would not attack them.
The conflict escalated, after Kaloa_HG caught Robokaiser attempting to remove a logbox placed in Polska by Mir and Entente forces, Kaloa_HG watched Robokaiser run away, presumably to a bunker. Then chose to leave. Only 30 minutes later, Robokaiser began entering Valyrian land, despite being instructed to leave. Kaloa_HG was forced to go out and fight Robokaiser on the bridge to Polska, until Doommad and DefectedHeart arrived to help push Robo back. This caused NATO to have the realization that Columbia would not take being attacked sitting down, forcing NATO to push their entire PvP force to southern Valyria, where they began a nearly 2 month offensive on the city. Valyria City at the end of these 2 months had withstood numerous attacks, several obsidian bombings, and a massive sky platform spanning over 500 blocks.
The Crucible, which was initially to have been thought to only win the Columbian Bush War was now being prepared for a potential vault defense against NATO forces, and eventually that attack the Columbians predicted came. In the early morning hours of Febuary 12th after an insider obby bombed half the half finished vault to kingdom come, NATO finally attacked. Entente and Mirian forces were summoned off of their Laconian and Pinkerton battlegrounds, the entire coalition was moving to Columbia to begin a defense of the Crucible. NATO had chosen to do a ground attack, with roughly ~30 PvPers on standby. Initially Jayms an Entente fighter arrived at the vault and immediately potted up and began fighting the entire fighting force of NATO. This attack surprised the NATO forces and caused them to move back. This permitted time for the Mirians to grab resources from nearby bunkers leftover from when they had sieged Columbia only a year earlier. Eventually, the fighters arrived, and began to mount an offensive against the NATO forces who were now pushing back towards the vault. During a surge into NATO's ground tunnel, Coalition forces successfully blocked up the entrance they used and managed to block a few NATO fighters in, who quickly escaped via pearling into the NATO side of the tunnel. However, BennyZ found Bob_The_Builder cowering in a corner due to him being unable to escape. BennyZ and S4NTA, _theJKH_ all ganged up on Bob and caused him to drop after only 45 seconds of fighting. Quickly causing NATO forces to retreat, causing the NATO siege on the Crucible to fail.
After NATO's attack against the crucible failed, they resorted back to bombing the Valyrian City as much as they could, until finally Coalition forces were forced to mount a 2 tier skybridge against Polska City, forcing NATO forces to be flushed out. This permitted Columbia to return to cleaning up Valyria City, and allowed Polska, now Augska, to be back under Columbian control.
