Augska was formerly an independent nation in the earlier days of the server, based around lands Southeast of Columbia's heartland. It had since gone inactive, and was annexed in full into the First Empire of Columbia. When the First Empire dissolved for a period of two months, Augskan lands remained unclaimed by foreign powers until the [[Columbian Homeward Migration]] saw the reestablishment of Columbia's claim over select Augskan lands under the Second Empire. Later on, Coventhia partitioned much of what remained of Augskan territory, including their old capital city, Augska City. The Columbian colony of Augska now consists of solely the large mesa island in the Southeast of Columbia.
==== Xylvania ====
Motto: A land of myth; a people of legend
Capital:Cammanberg
Formerly a colony of Columbia's infamous, militaristic & expansionist far northern rival, Xylvania is an old, mountainous province stretching from the relatively fertile Cammanberg plateau to the poorly charted and almost inhospitable lands far to the north; which are empty aside from the odd village of shepherds, woodcutters and fishermen. Cammanberg itself is an ancient city, boasting a single central road running its length and many old medieval houses and taverns. It is also home to the world renowned University of Cammanberg which has been educating Columbia's best and brightest since its establishment by Xylvanian monks some 600 years ago.
The university is divided into three colleges (Spire: Arts, Theology and Humanities; Lindendorff: Sciences and Mathematics; Fritz Junker: Post graduate studies), each of which boasts their own mascot, bar, library and sports teams. The rivalry between the colleges has always been fierce, especially between the two undergraduate colleges. It isn't unheard of for riots to occur at the end of the termly cricket match or yacht race, although this is far from the worst college riot 200 years ago, when Spire's main dining hall was burned to the ground by a group of Lindendorff students, angry at alleged cheating during the final term's match.
