Located on the southern ice island, it iswas neighboured by a [[Norlund|Norlish]] colony to the east, and [[Polaria]] to the west. Gallagher was initially founded as a minor farming and mining colony, but was a key location in the [[Barbary War]].

Dispite a minor disagreement following the placement of incorrect border markers by Polaria, and some minor issues with bastion placement, these claims were well respected by other nations, and Gallagher was later invited into the [[Far Seas Alliance]] (FSA).<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i8laag/announcing_the_far_seas_alliance_fsa/</ref>. Gallagher also acted as a key mediator in the Norlund/SPQR - Imperial Federation<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i4kh6o/if_apology_post_and_explaining_our_current/g0ixroi/</ref> disputes over the ownership of the abandoned Roman colonies, and again later following the Norlish intervention in the [[Imperial Federation Civil War|IF Civil War]].

On the 28th of August, Gallagher was formalised into a territory of Otonabee, with the role of custodian granted to [[prawny331]]. This would later become relevant as Otonabee joined [[Varathia (CivRealms)|Varathia]] and then [[Carbon (CivRealms 2.0)|Carbon]], but Gallagher remained under the sole control of Otonabee.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ikbrgr/announcing_the_unification_of_nations_and_the/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/inzrzj/otonavarathian_empire_joins_carbon/</ref>. Following the [[Olympia|Olympian]] occupation of [[Lynn]] towards the end of the [[Second Hell War]], the several Otonabian citizens fled to Gallagher to escape the conflict with their material possessions and regroup.

With Otonabee now a member of Carbon, many saw it as being Carbon-affiliated. When the [[New World Pirates]] fled to the New World to escape the fallout from the [[CivCorp]] [[Jargon#Obby bomb|obbybombing]], the pirates chose the southern mountains of Gallagher to be their primary bunker. This lead to inevitable conflict when members of Gallagher were attacked by the Pirates. After a week of conflict centred around (and under) Gallager, the FSA sucessfullysuccessfuly liberated Gallagher from Pirate occupation.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/j4ixf6/peace_in_the_new_world/</ref>. Gallagher's newly formed Anti-Piracy Task Force fought alongside the [[Sesoria|Sesorian]] horde and [[Vibeville]] space marines to save their icy homeland.

[[File:Gallager updated.png|left|thumb|Gallagher's claims following the conclusion of the [[Barbary War]]]]

[[IKEA_FRIDGE]] was named the new Custodian of Gallagher, and the colony's claims were changed, with territory being given to Polaria for their suffering in the Barbary War. Gallagher was expanded before activity dropped due to the ongoing [[Great War]] on the mainland. Activity never returned to the new world following the conclusion of the war. Land from Gallagher was further transferred to the [[Borealian Socialist Republic]] (BSR), following the conclusion of the [[BSR-Duckapore conflict]], in the resolution of Saint Helena,<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z51x0lxjtXQsA2gvVU6_wgi6BXL1j6ewbne6aEIAySs/edit</ref>, primarily the island formerly housing the defunct nation of Synlandia, and a large section of unused land in the west. Only a small region of land around the settlement remained, to act as a buffer between the BSR and the nation of Polaria, due to past conflicts between the two.

Gallagher iswas a mountainous, icy, barren tundra with scattered glaciers stretching from the highlands down to sea level. The north-eastern portion of the claim hashad a large Mega TaigeTaiga biome fantastic for growing carrots and redwood (spruce) trees.[[File:Gallagher.png|thumb|The town of Gallagher at the time of the Barbary War|link=Special:FilePath/Gallagher.png]]

The Custodian hashad complete control over the use of the land in accordance with Otonabian law, and iswas appointed by the Beekeeper (leader) of Otonabee.

Gallagher iswas linked to the [[Zeal]] underground horse tunnel network, makingit had a branch across the southern section between Norlund and Polaria.<ref>https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/zArEeFQfENmfyskifkXyXFmDnRdTSe70fhA39bBhEwI/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/733325732700225648/760438665175760956/HorseTunnelMap_8_31_2020.png</ref>. Gallagher iswas also linked by an overground road between the colony itself and the Polarian capital.
