'''Kallos''' is a chill nation situated in the west of the map around -7100, -200, known for its citizens who like to do a moderate amount of trolling.
 
== CivClassic ==
== Etymology and pronunciation ==
"Kallos" is a made-up word for a minecraft nation. It is pronounced "Kale - oh - s".
 
== History ==
 
=== Founding and Prior History ===
After the collapse of [[KaylaEddie Murphy]] didand a mildbrief amounthiatus, of[[Kayla]] trollingand [[Kicky]], shewho andwas pearled playerat Kickythe time, decided to make a wholesome buildfriend nation called Kallos. ItThey wassettled veryin cool,a yetbiome undefinedseen except for the fact that they wanted to settle in thisas "non-ideal biome" as a meme and that Kallos was a vaguely purple-themed nation. [[August27|August]] joined shortly after as a founding member, followed by [[Coldboy000 and]], [[ChickenWingGeek]] afterand randomly messaging Kicky to join one day[[K0mmi]].
 
Initial relations were quickly established with the nation[[Republic of Camiseo]], a nation north-west of Kallos, when its leader, [[Troll_Bebek]] wanted to dig a rail into Kallos. This spawned an ongoing reciprocal friendship that continuesresulted toin lastan eventual merger into the modern nation of Kallos.
 
=== Rapid Expansion ===
Seeing a need for expansion as a nation if Kallos were to avoid the fate of many lame two-person grinder nations, CWG decided to pull some of his acquaintances to join, mostly wholesome refugees from the recently-dead Civciv server [[CivUniverse]]. Notably, this included [[Egi]] and [[KingOfTheMochas]], who quickly proved themselves as hard-working and loyal members of Kallos.
[[File:Kallos At Night May 2021.png|thumb|Kallos City at night, captured in May 18, 2021. The iconic lighthouse and original windmill occupy the foreground, seen in the background is Coldboy's weird tower and Kali's Ashahari Temple, among other builds.]]
[[File:Kallosborder.png|thumb|Distinctive border markers help identify the border between Kallos & JCCS land to the south.]]
With the increased manpower, Kallos began a quick ascension into advanced XP manufacturing.
 
Due to this rapid expansion, a need for City-Bastionscity bastions was heavily required. Due to Kallos's policy on being self sufficient, buying City-Bastionscity bastions was simply not an option. So Kayla attempted to acquire the numerous materials required to create a Bastion Factory as well as the City-Bastionscity bastions required for Kallos. One of these materials, slimeballs was very rare and couldare onlymost becommonly found in vault holes. This spawned some [[Best Western Slime Incident|mildly controversial events]].
 
=== The Holy Kayla Empire ===
== Geography ==
[[File:ARXRENDER.png|thumb|Kallos's vault on CivClassic 2.0, Arx-Centauri.]]
In the following months after [[KingOfTheMochas]]'s exit from the Jazz Committee, Kallos underwent numerous changes. The former democratic system was stripped and changed to adopt a more oligarchic dictatorship based off of trust. Due to two incidents with [[IMC]] and [[MtS]], Kallos opted to adopt a fully isolationist strategy. In August 2021, Camiseo formally merged with Kallos in order to form a collective state<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/oxk43z/treaty_of_indifference/</ref>. Following this, ties were established with a small nation of [[Asahigaoka]] as a result of their friendship with some of the citizens of Camiseo. A few citizens from Kallos went to help out the Asahigaokans with constructing a small simple factory bunker. [[Hockey328]] got suspicious of a few Kallos citizens hitting snitches near Caledonian claims (nearby to where Asahi had settled), and investigated. He encountered ~3 Kallosian's and 1 Asahigaokan. This followed a brief standoff that was eventually resolved diplomatically due to a Coalition intervention.
 
Under the Kaylaocracy, the Arx-Centauri [[Vault]] construction was sped up and prioritized. EXP Production was also fully established and is now entirely possible.
 
=== Late-server Tensions and EOTW ===
Near the end of CivClassic, tensions continuously rose due to the growing power of Kallos and the founding of the [[AMIGOS]] alliance. In particular, tensions were especially high with the [[CES]] and [[IMC]] during the summer and fall of 2021. During the last two months of the server, political tensions were brought to a boiling point. The [[UDF]] was mobilizing against Kallosian allies for owning illegal vaults and preparing on a retaliation for disabling the [[Crucible|Crucible vault]]. Fighters from both sides were preparing for a prolonged conflict not seen since the [[NATO-Mir War|Infinity War.]] However, conflict was avoided when [[TealNerd]] announced [[CivClassics Shutdown|the end of the server]].
 
== Geography (CivClassic) ==
 
=== Location and Borders ===
Kallos claims were a largely continuous landmass bordering the sea in the Easteast, JCCjoint [[World Police (CivClassic)|Coalition]]-controlled land around PinkertwoACA Vault in the Southsouth, [[Armenia]] in the North-Westnorthwest, and former [[HJE]] and [[Tierra de Conciencia]] lands in the west and North-Eastnortheast respectively.
 
=== Administrative Divisions ===
As a partially zoomer[[Zoomers|Zoomer]]-led nation with an initial emphasis on becoming self-sufficient, Kallos currently has onlyhad one realpopulated town to speak ofsettlement, Kallos City. Outlying regions are treated as an extension of national control, especially depending on access to EXP infrastructure. Kallos has an openclosed-door policy, forrestricting any newfriends that wishaccess to formmost a town withinof its bordersregions as long as they don'ta doprimarily stupidisolationist stuffcountry.
 
== Government and Politics (CivClassic) ==
Kallos was led by a trust-based government. It contains two sets of administrative divisions, the Chad Council and Jazz Committee.
 
===== Foreign relations =====
Due to prior hostile history with "World- Police" oriented alliances/ and nations such as the [[UDF]], [[Mir]], and [[Entente.]],{{Clarify|reason=|date=May 2021}} Kallos haspreviously maintained a cautious stance around WP relations. This is notablynotable due to the pearling of Kicky_ by [[Yoahtl]] after the fall of [[Cascadia]] (Febuaryin February 2021), and the subsequent holding of their pearl until May 2021.of Asthe wellsame asyear. theThis problematichas historysince pertainingbeen tomostly theresolved fallwith ofincreased Cascadia,collaboration whichwith alsocoalition includesforces. theAn tenseexample relationsof betweensuch Regionarycollaboration Councilwas memberthe Kayla,de-bastioning and numerousdestruction WPof alignedthe individualsACA Vault in former HJE. <ref name=":0">[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858907489931100161/879135085918564362/unknown.png]</ref>
 
[[KingOfTheMochas]], a former member of the Jazz Committee, was exiled from the nation following a dispute between him and Kayla that peaked with Mochas taking diamonds from the government storage to pay an alleged "debt" of Kayla's to [[Minemaster933]] without her permission.
 
A large amount of effort has been put in by the Kallos Jazz Committee and Regionary Council to attempt to mend and resolve any conflicts pertaining to WP.

== PoliticsCulture (CivClassic) ==
The idealized Kallosian furthers the notion of "Work hard, play hard", with the "play" being the trolling that was so embedded in the nation's culture. An example by Kallos citizens include building a hut with two vault-bastioned rings in MtS property.<ref>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/819657192990703658/838922620539633694/2021-05-03_19.38.03.png]</ref>
Kallos has a typical Civ-style "political system" based on trust and good vibes.
 
In terms of aesthetics, the color purple is predominant in Kallosian culture, as exemplified in their national flag.
===== WP Politics - A Footnote =====
Due to prior history with World-Police oriented alliances/nations such as the UDF, Mir, and Entente. Kallos has maintained a cautious stance around WP relations. This is notably due to the pearling of Kicky_ by Yoahtl after the fall of Cascadia (Febuary 2021), and the subsequent holding of their pearl until May 2021. As well as the problematic history pertaining to the fall of Cascadia, which also includes the tense relations between Regionary Council member Kayla, and numerous WP aligned individuals.
 
A large amount of Kallosian Culture was centered around the old world pertaining to the [[NATO]] alliance. It was seen as a reasonable duty to ensure that the relics [[NATO]] created remain for new players to see.
A large amount of effort has been put in by the Kallos Jazz Committee and Regionary Council to attempt to mend and resolve any conflicts pertaining to WP. Which has resulted in numerous potentially inflammatory incidents being resolved diplomatically. For example, the [[Best Western Slime Incident]], and the Kaliningrad City Restoration Incident.
 
== The Civ Interim and the Kallosian collapse ==
At this point in time, Kallos aims to maintain peaceful relations with all nations on the server, and avoids conflict at all costs.
During the time between [[CivClassic]] and [[CivMC]], Kallos remained mostly in tact for a few months, operating as a close knit friend group playing on minor servers such as [[CivRev]], [[CivRedemption|CivRed]] and Hypixel. It was at this time that Kallos reached its peak of encore members, totaling 8. However, during March of 2022, due to internal problems and arguments, Kallos completely dissolved as a state, and the remaining 4 encore members opted to merge with the newly formed [[Rhode Island]].
 
== The Kallosian rebirth on CivMC ==
== Culture ==
On June 29th, nearly 4 months after the collapse, Kallos returned to the world stage when [[K0mmi]], [[Troll Bebek|Troll_bebek]], [[Lasady]] the last 3 Encore members, founded Kallos in the claims of Camiseo. They started the capital city Kallopolis shortly after, and over the course of a few weeks activity gradually grew to a respectable level. In the first week of August 2022, Kallos joined the [[Arsenio Pact]].
The idealized Kallosian furthers the notion of "Work hard, play hard", with the "play" being the trolling that is so embedded in the nation's culture. KingOfTheMochas is one example, developing numerous XP farms and constantly botting numerous grinders, but also taking the time to piss off Icenians and World Police with his constant discord E-lawyering and anti-perma crusades. Further examples by Kallos citizens include pearling a member of WP in his own vault and building a hut with two vault-bastioned rings in MTS property.
 
Following the ban-induced collapse of the [[Rhode Island|USA/Rhode Island]], Kallos, under the leadership of K0mmi, annexed the bulk of former-RI territories with the notable exception of the "random crater" that happened to also contain the former RI vault<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xi3azw/kallos_claims_update_81922/</ref>. {{AMIGOS}}{{Sovereign States of the Northwest}}
Notable cultural quirks include the ever-active Public VC in Kallos discord and the End of Evangelion song that Kayla plays and sings a lot.{{Sovereign States of the Northwest}}
