'''Estalia''' is a nation on [[CivMC]] located near 0,0. It consists of former citizens of [[Mir]], [[Caledonia]], [[Amyr]], [[Varkonia]], [[Hjaltland]], and [[Anguish]]<ref name=":0">Announcing Estalia https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/uq675f/announcing_estalia/</ref>.
== History ==
Estalia, after announcing they would settle near 0,0 before the start of the server<ref name=":0" />, announced their claims on the 3rd of June 2022<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v46dy3/estalias_claims/</ref>, and expanded them 6 days later<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v8c8yb/updated_estalian_claims/</ref> to become the largest nation by area at the time, according to [[Prawny331|u/prawny331]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgnfc9/a_slightly_less_flawed_nation_size_analysis/</ref>, with an estimated area of about 175 000 km<sup>2</sup>.
===Conflict with Communion of Kū===
{{Main|Annexation_of_K%C5%AB}}On June 18th, [[Black_Fusion]], a member of Kū's government, made a post to [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/ r/CivMC] accusing of Estalia of killing Kū officials (himself) in their own claims,<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vewsg6/estalians_kill_k%C5%ABtoan_officials_in_their_own_land/</ref> providing a detailed explanation of events connected to his pearling by Estalia. Per Black_Fusion, he discovered a tunnel underneath the city of Kū-Lani while mining. When returning to explore the tunnel Black_Fusion was briefly pearled by 3 Estalians [[ZabeKabir]], [[Watermashen]], and [[ThePayman]],<ref>https://imgur.com/a/ayla16G from: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vewsg6/estalians_kill_k%C5%ABtoan_officials_in_their_own_land/</ref><ref name=":2">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/estaliaku_situation_response_and_resolution/</ref> with those who pearled him having thought he had previously been warned not to enter the tunnel. Black_Fusion indicated that his nation, before the incident, did not want to escalate any tensions with Estalia and offered to relocate the tunnel around Kū's claims in a gesture of good-faith.
Prior to this incident, Estalia had claimed and built infrastructure on land that Black_Fusion says was "already marked by posts labeled "Communion of Kū",<ref name=":1" /><ref>https://imgur.com/a/rpHiEFY from: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vewsg6/estalians_kill_k%C5%ABtoan_officials_in_their_own_land/</ref> accusing Estalia of knowingly ignoring their nation's claims and building around any stone-reinforced areas on the island.
Estalia made their own post,<ref name=":2" /> stating that Kū officials had been inconsistent on whether or not they could keep the tunnel, that Estalia had sent demands<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/comment/id240w4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> (including the stipulations "Ku will not cede sovereignty to any group[...]" and "Ku will not allow foreign parties to operate from the islands", "Kū" being misspelled) that had been refused, and that the nation of Kū had been annexed and its people relocated, with as many as 11 players sent to annex the territory.
=== War with Rhode Island ===
''Main Article: [[Estalia-Rhode Island War]]''
Since July 25th 2022, Estalia has been engaged in a large-scale war with [[Rhode Island]], with the war stemming from an incident in which Rhode Islander Bob_the_Builder was followed by Estalian forces after having tresspassed on Estalian land<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w7o0xi/rhode_island_break_nap_and_launch_large_scale/</ref>, despite previous warnings, leading to a group fight resulting in the pearling of other Rhode Islander [[Capri]].
Continous raids and attacks by both sides from July 25th onwards, including the very controversial obby-bombing and griefing of the Estalian trading hub of 0,0<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wdckwm/rhode_island_obby_bomb_break_00_signs/</ref>, led to Rhode Island amassing a large amount of casualties<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w8w6jc/civmc_beach_party/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w9dcii/shitting_on_shitters_10_minutes_of_ri_running/</ref><ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/july/26/conflict-strikes-close-to-home-with-body-found-in-tunnel/</ref>, with Estalia having no pearled fighters until August 5th, when [[ThePayman]] was pearled by Rhode Island forces.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=toontasker|sender=toontasker|url=https://discord.com/channels/912074050086502470/960952809447100416/1005253386863640606|text=Earlier today, Rhode Island operatives executed a successful counter-operation on Estalian warlords sieging a communal nether portal.

==Culture==
=== National Holidays ===
Estalia has two official holidays, both of which are weekly: Donut Day on Wednesday and Good Morning Walkers Day on Friday.
==== Donut Day ====
Estalia began celebrating Donut Day on Wednesday, September 7th, 2022 by a declaration from [[Gregy165]]<ref>Founding Donut Day https://imgur.com/a/9j7pbN2</ref> in an attempt to lift spirits during the [[Generic War]].
The nation has since continued to observe the holiday every subsequent Wednesday. As stated by the Carps of Estalia, "The Estalian bond is the most precious thing this world has to offer and it must be preserved at all costs."
Donut Day celebrates the camaraderie between the citizens of Estalia and serves as a weekly reminder to the Estalians of this founding principle.
Weekly Donut Day attendance is recorded into and forever memorialized in the [[Estalian Historical and Archeological Preservation Committee]]'s (EHAP) Database, where all participants are set to have their names and entries displayed in the Museum of Estalia and publicized in the official EHAP Database spreadsheet at the end of the server.

|text=''Use code'' <code>Donut Day</code> ''every Wednesday for 15% off all Gmall orders!''

==== Good Morning Walkers Day ====
Estalia began celebrating Good Morning Walkers Day on Friday, September 30th, 2022 by a declaration from both [[Gregy165]] and the collective citizens of Estalia.<ref>Founding Good Morning Walkers Day https://imgur.com/a/J8nB8mV</ref>
The nation observes the holiday by sending a "good morning" message in the Estalian Discord to [[Walkers]].
The Estalians believe this to be the least their citizens can do in service of [[Walkers]], who they praise as their Chicken God.
=== Estalian of the Week ===
