The '''Kingdom of the Acadian Lewis Islands''' (KALI) was an [[OMN]] (one man nation) in the [[Geographical Regions#Lewis Archipelago|Lewis Archipelago]] in the [[+,- (CivClassic 2.0)|+,- quadrant]] on [[CivClassic]], founded by [[Pandastical]], that existed briefly from late May 2021 to early June 2021. It was situated right to the east of the Acadian mainland, and to the west of the [[Kingdom of Fish]], comprised of one of the main islands of the western Lewis Archipelago. Its existence was ended by the annexation by [[Acadia]] and the region's reinstatement as an organized territory within the Federal Republic of Acadia after ~two weeks of continued drama.
 
Originally, KALI was Pandastical's personal/private land, separate from [[Acadia]] and unclaimed by any nation, originating from around late April 2021 with the move of Acadia from [[CivUniverse]] to CivClassic.<ref>Announcement of personal claim: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/n1hesl/claiming_this_land_to_the_right_of_acadia_in_the/ link] (reddit post)</ref> Not long after Pandastical chose to merge it into Acadia as a an 'organized territory' within the federal structure.<ref>Announcement of the merge into Acadia: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/n26rab/this_region_has_now_joined_acadia_as_a_new_state/ link] (reddit post)</ref> The territory was named after the Lewis Archipelago and thus became the Territory of the Lewis Islands.

The '''Kingdom of the Acadian Lewis Islands'''. also known as '''KALI''', is a [[OMN]] in the [[Geographical Regions#Lewis Archipelago|Lewis Archipelago]] founded by [[Pandastical]]. The [[Acadia|Republic of Acadia]] recognizes KALI's independence, however officially recognizes them as the Kingdom of the Lewis Islands. The dispute over the name led to the [[40 Minute War]]. All citizens of the KALI are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_non_grata Personae Non Gratae] in Acadia, and all citizens of Acadia are banned from the KALI. Further information can be found on the official [[Pandastical]] page, as it's a one man nation, and a lot more information can be found there. {{Infobox civilization|image=Actual kali flag.png|name=Kingdom of the Acadian Lewis Islands|position_title1=King|position_name1=[[Pandastical]]|foundation_date=May 30th, 2021|location={{Coord|4515|-9555|100}}|activity_level=High as of June 2nd, 2021|foundation_document=Vote in Acadian Discord|preceded_by=[[Acadia]]|government_type=Monarchy|area=0.041 km²}}The Acadian Lewis Islands were originally an organized territory within the Second Acadian Republic. However, due to a series of bills he drafted that passed in the National Assembly but were vetoed by the Senate, he seceded his lands on May 30th, 2021. Almost immediately, however, hostilities would become apparent between KALI and the Second Acadian Republic. This stemmed from a map posted on the Acadian Discord, which labeled KALI as the ‘Kingdom of East Acadia’ instead of the ‘Kingdom of the Acadian Lewis Islands’. When Pandastical asked why this was so, he was given an official response that since he was no longer Acadian, he should not have Acadian in his country’s name, as it makes his country sound as though it was still a part of the republic.
However, due to political disagreements with other Acadians and after seeing a series of bills he drafted vetoed by the Acadian Senate after passing the National Assembly, Pandastical seceded the territory from Acadia following legal procedures on May 30th, 2021. He declared the territory independent and called it 'the Kingdom of the Acadian Lewis Islands'.<ref>Announcement of independence: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/nosidy/the_kingdom_of_the_acadian_lewis_islands_has/ link] (reddit post)</ref> While Acadia recognized the secession, they did not recognize the name of its new neighbor as they did not want to be accidentally associated or confused with the new nation. Acadia issued an official statement 'On the Status of the Lewis Islands' stating that it disavowed the usage of the term 'Acadian' and that it would henceforth recognize it neighbor as 'the Kingdom of the Lewis Islands'.
The Acadian Republic would back up this when the Senate issued the press release; “ON THE STATUS OF THE LEWIS ISLANDS”, where they disavow the Lewis Islands’ usage of the term Acadian, and no longer recognize the Acadian Lewis Islands, instead recognizing it as the Lewis Islands.
 
As a response, KALI banned all Acadians from entering its territory, which Acadia saw as an provocation. Acadia issued a new statement on June 2nd: 'On the Escalation from the Kingdom of the Lewis Islands', where it responded in kind and declared Pandastical to be PNG (Persona non Gratae) in Acadia until he removed the ban against Acadians, renamed the name of the OMN to remove the term 'Acadian', and paid reparations of 16 diamonds or 256 iron. Pandastical refused to meet these demands and mistakenly thought that Acadia had declared war against him. In what he thought was a response to this, he decided to declare war against Acadia. The result was a brief Acadian occupation of the island, 'the 40 Minutes War', until the misunderstanding was cleared up. Afterwards, Acadian participant [[Aelfred]] was tried and declared guilty of petty theft and vandalism committed during the occupation by Acadia.
This led to a further breakdown of relations. KALI announced that no Acadian citizens were allowed to step on KALI territory. In response, the Senate issued “ON THE ESCALATION FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE LEWIS ISLANDS” on June 2nd. They declared an embargo on the state of KALI, and labeled Pandastical as ‘Persona Non Gratae’, which had to be understood since no one wants to learn a dead language.
 
Another dispute with Acadia followed immediately after when there was confusion about the exact recognized claims of KALI and the borders between KALI and Acadia. According to Pandastical, the Windsor Peninsula on the Acadian mainland was included in the secession bill approved by the Acadian Senate, and thus belonged to KALI. Acadia denied these claims and refused to hand over the peninsula, issuing an ultimatum for Pandastical to give up his claim on the peninsula. Within time however, the original secession bill was found, and as no exact claims or borders were included in the bill, and the bill did not refer to the Windsor peninsula, Pandastical agreed to drop his claim.
This placed a warrant on Pandastical to be exile pearled, and said that the measures would be revoked if the following (quote) ‘demands are met:’. KALI had to change its name to remove the term Acadia, remove the ban of Acadians on it’s soil, and a reparation of 16 diamonds or 256 iron be paid. Pandastical had never seen a diamond on the server and had a total wealth of 2 iron stacks, some redstone, and 8 debris. Pandastical would incorrectly see this as a declaration of the [[40 Minute War]]. During this time, Pandastical was 12000 kilometers away on a diplomatic voyage.
 
A couple days later a third dispute with Acadia followed as Pandastical published his flag for KALI, which included the Acadian flag in the upper-left. Acadia responded with indignation and saw this as another provocation from Pandastical, since he knew that Acadia dissaproved of KALI's stylization as 'Acadian'. After the series of disputes, this was the last straw for Acadia. Acadia responded by annexing KALI on June 10th, starting the Acadian Island War. With the annexation, Acadia claimed the surrounding islands as well and incorporated them into the reinstated 'organized territory' of the Lewis Islands. Pandasticals bunker was disabled with reinforced obsidian, and a close battle between Pandastical and Acadian fighter [[The druid|Druid]] followed after which Pandastical was pearled.<ref>Footage of the Battle of the Acadian Lewis Islands by Pandastical: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-crQRKCD8s&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=Pandastical link] (youtube video)</ref>
This would be peacefully resolved, however. A trial would be held, where Aelfred was deemed guilty and The_Druid innocent. All damages and stolen materials would be returned as well. The only thing gained was the knowledge that, using a Efficiency diamond pickaxe, Pandastical’s bunker could be broken into in a maximum of twenty-five minutes.
 
Afterwards, Pandastical was put on trial for attemped murder on Druid by Acadia, as Acadia considered its presence on the islands legitimate given the annexation and did not recognize Pandastical's resistance as defensive for this reason. Acadia was represented by [[JuniorTide]] as prosecutor, Pandastical by [[Owain X|Owain]] as lawyer, and Prime Minister [[Bloof]] served as acting Chief Justice. During the trial, the defense argued that a) since from Pandastical's perspective the events happened during a war on KALI soil, the acts were defensive in nature and that b) even if the territory were considered to be legally Acadian, Pandastical had a right to defend his property against the Acadian military who was accused of stealing a banner belonging to Pandastical. On June 11th, Pandastical was declared guilty and sentenced to two weeks of prison pearl and 1 year of exile pearl, however, the Acadian government eventually decided to only carry out a few weeks of the official sentence.
The next conflict would revolve around the Windsor Peninsula on the mainland continent where Acadia sat. Pandastical claimed that his secession bill-which was legally voted into effect-gave him the territory. Scammer_Stevee (governor of Kanava) claimed that it was Kanavan land, which was supported by the fact that a previous claim had claimed it. The situation would turn into an official demand by the Senate on June 3rd, for the territory to be given up within 24 hours. Pandastical refused.
 
After the trial, Pandastical disbanded KALI and recognized its re-integration into Acadia.
The [[Windsor Peninsula Conflict]] would be resolved when someone simply took a look at the bill in question, and noticed that there was no picture attached. The reddit post posted also didn't have the Windsor Peninsula claimed. And so, the WPC ended peacefully, with Pandastical giving up the land in question. The most recent conflict as an issue over a drafted KALI flag which had an Acadian flag in it, something that would soon be removed when Acadian Prime Minister Cortwade got angry.

On June 10th, the Acadian Senate made the 'ANNEXATION OF THE LEWIS ISLANDS DECREE'. This decree labeled KALI a menace to Acadia and therefore annexed it, putting player Flags as governor of the territory and sending an occupation force, consisting of [[Druid]] and [[SpacemanSpleef]]. Pandastical, after hearing about this, would log onto the server. The Battle of the Acadian Lewis Islands would then happen, with [[Druid]] and Pandastical 1v1ing, resulting in Pandastical being pearled. The battle can be seen in this award winning video [https://youtu.be/2-crQRKCD8s here]. Pandastical is exile pearled and therefore the kingdom stopped existing on June 10th, a total of 12 days of existence.
