=== Founding and Prior History ===
After the Collapsecollapse 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. [[August27|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 [[Republic of Camiseo]], north-west of Kallos, when 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.

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]].
== Geography ==
=== Location and Borders ===
Kallos claims a largely continuous landmass bordering the sea in the Easteast, JCCjoint [[World Police (CivClassic)|Coalition]]-controlled land around Pinkertwo 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 one populated settlement, 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 do not disturb the peace.
== Government and Politics ==
===== 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 has maintained a cautious stance. This is notable due to the pearling of Kicky_ by [[Yoahtl]] after the fall of [[Cascadia]] in February 2021, and the subsequent holding of their pearl until May of the same year. As well as theThe problematic history pertaining to the fall of Cascadia{{Clarify|reason=|date=May 2021}}, which also includes the tense relations between Regionary Council member Kayla, and numerous WP aligned individuals is of note. [[KingOfTheMochas]], a former member of the Jazz Committee, was exiled from the nation following a dispute between him and Kayla that peaked with Mocha 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. WhichThis has resulted in numerous potentially inflammatory incidents being resolved diplomatically., Forsuch example,as the [[Best Western Slime Incident]], and the Kaliningrad City Restorationrestoration Incidentincident.
At this point in time, Kallos aims to maintain peaceful relations with all nations on the server, and avoids conflict at all costs.
== Culture ==
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.{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}} Further examplesExamples by Kallos citizens include pearling a member of WP in his own vault and building a hut with two vault-bastioned rings in MTSMtS property.{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}}
In terms of aesthetics, the color purple is predominant in Kallosian culture, as exemplified in their national flag.
Notable cultural quirks include the ever-active Public VCvc in Kallos discord and the End of Evangelion song that Kayla plays and sings a lot.
