=== Founding and Prior History ===
After [[Kayla]] did a mild amount of [[Collapse of Eddie Murphy#Cataclysm|trolling]], she and pearled player Kicky decided to make a wholesome buildfriend nation called Kallos. It was very cool, yet undefined except for the fact that they wanted to settle in this non-ideal biome as a meme and that Kallos was a vaguely purple-themed nation. August joined shortly after as a founding member, followed by Coldboy000 and [[ChickenWingGeek]] after randomly messaging Kicky to join one day.
After the Collapse of Eddie Murphy and a brief hiatus, [[Kayla]] and Kicky, who was pearled at the time, decided to make a buildfriend nation called Kallos. They settled in a biome seen as "non-ideal" as a meme. August joined shortly after as a founding member, followed by Coldboy000 and [[ChickenWingGeek]] after randomly messaging Kicky to join one day.


Initial relations were quickly established with the nation of Camiseo, north-west of Kallos, when leader Troll_Bebek wanted to dig a rail into Kallos. This spawned an ongoing reciprocal friendship that continues to last.

As a partially zoomer-led nation with an initial emphasis on becoming self-sufficient, Kallos currently has only one real town to speak of, Kallos City. Outlying regions are treated as an extension of national control, especially depending on access to EXP infrastructure. Kallos has an open-door policy for any newfriends that wish to form a town within its borders as long as they don't do stupid stuff.

===== WP Politics - A Footnote =====
===== Foreign relations =====
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.

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.
