'''Gul''' is a sparsely developed tribal nation in the fake jungles of the deep '''+-,-''' on [[CivClassic]], focused around a rejection of technology and traditional Civ-style gameplay and a return to a simpler existence. Accessible only by boat or on foot through dense jungle, the main settlement of '''Gulla''' sits in a deep valley surrounded by dramatic cliffs and waterfalls. Its inhabitants are known as "Monkes".
 
Like similar nations such as [[Nro'meagh]], Gul rejects technology in favour of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Monkes are prohibited from using factories, diamond tools and armour and agriculture, and Gulla currently has no significant exports to other cultures. Gul's diplomatic relations are limited, but it has a close friendship with neighbouring nation [[Eddie Murphy]]. It remains to be seen whether Gul will survive in the long run.
 
==History==
===Founding ===
Gul was officially founded by CheezyJives on 23rd December 2020 with a claims post in the CivClassic subreddit.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/kixstm/my_claim_gulla_valley/</ref>. Chief CheezyJives intended to create a "primitivist, ecocentric territory" where "diamond things are FORBIDDEN" and citizens could live in nature by [https://youtu.be/05sJVEwZuZ4 returning to monke.]<ref>https://youtu.be/05sJVEwZuZ4</ref> The first settlement was known as '''Brokenlake''', situated on the banks of a deep lake hidden under a mountain.

===Overclaiming by Veldt===
[[File:MonkeVeldtmeme.png|200px|thumb|right|A meme referring to the Gul-Veldt claims conflict.]]
On 1st February 2021, former Hallow resident and ex-NATO fighter [[Camokool]] posted a claims post on the subreddit for a new, non-hostile nation called [[Veldt]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/l9vo6t/the_veldt/</ref> The claimed area overlapped with Gul's claims at that time. When Chief CheezyJives responded pointing out the overclaiming, Camokool declined to recognize Gul. Camokool claimed that the land had been given to them following the [[NATO-Chanseatic State War]] and Gul was in fact, on their land. This immediately drew attention from CivClassics players across the map, who had been bored and hungry for conflict since the end of the [[Infinity War]]. The conflict is currently undergoing mediation by [[DUMP]], which Gul joined amidst the controversy.
