The '''Republic of Lambat''', or simply '''Lambat'''
Initially planned to be a tiny and isolated city-state, Lambat
Like most nations on CivClassic 2.0, Lambat ceased from existence on the 18th of December, 2021, due to the server shutting down. After a referendum, [[Lambat|Lambat moved to CivMC and reestablished itself in June 2022.]]
== History ==
Lambatan history is separated into three categories: the geopolitical history of the lands currently held by Lambat, the history of Lambat as a political entity, and the history of the people of Lambat.
===CivClassic before Lambat (before December 2020)===
The land currently hosting Lambat was historically occupied by various nation states. Evidence of older civilizations can be found due to the presence of numerous abandoned cities and structures, the most prominent being the ruins of [[Arstotzka (
An island in the southeast, Manuel Quezon (formerly Burma), was once claimed by [[Caledonia]].
[[File:Mappomattox2.png|left|thumb|275x275px|Appomattox]]
===Origins of Lambat (December 2020 - January 2021)===
The roots of Lambat stemmed from an unnamed LAN world, where [[kaprediem]] and [[banyough]] colonized a village and named it Kabanuan Town. After the unexplained deaths of villager residents, the duo made an effort to build a railway network extending to other villages across the continent, aiming to import new residents. The project was a mild success, after two villagers were brought to Kabanuan. It was around this time when kaprediem discovered
===
==== Free State of Lambat (January 13 - February 12 2021)====
Kaprediem joined the server on the 12th of January, 2021<ref>https://discord.com/channels/541663751875723267/553317098156195863/798573104900341790</ref> and presumably spawned within the realm of [[Imperial Truidence]]. After aimlessly wandering through the vast swampland, he reached [[Gensokyo]] and boarded on a train to [[Nyasaland]]. There he was raided by a fleet of phantoms and killed, before respawning within Nyasaland. Eventually, he decided to settle in the continent formerly inhabited by Appomattox.
Line 68:
During the last week of the Free State, a surge of hostile mobs were reported after admin tweaks. Kaprediem declared a state of emergency, prohibiting entry to Lambat.

Days later, on February 2, Kaprediem proclaimed the dissolution of Lambat, after what was described as a "CivClassic speedrun". To this effect, the nation broke its alliance with [[DUMP]]. The City of Lambat was ceded to [[Cortesia Del Mar]] for protection.<ref>In accordance with the final wish of kaprediem, former President of Lambat, Cortesia Del Mar assumes stewardship over Lambat City. : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref><ref>Formal Dissolution of Lambat : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref>
On February 8, the Lambat Government-in-Exile was announced by Kaprediem in a Reddit post, raising an intention to return to CivClassic at an unspecified date. The statement also declares severing ties with DUMP, upholding neutrality, and imposing isolationism, while reaffirming its waiving of territorial rights to CDM's custodianship.<ref>Address from the Lambat Government-in-Exile : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref>[[File:Lambat Executive Palace Post-Grief.png|thumb|403x403px|The Executive Palace under repair after the Sack of Lambat City|alt=|left]]
====The Second Republic (February 13 - May 4 2021)====
After assessing the regional situation, Kaprediem announced the formation of the Republic of Lambat, a direct successor to the Free State of Lambat. Cortesia
On February 22, Lambat laid its claim on an uninhabited island in +,+, which it named as the New Kalayaan Islands Territory. It is intended to become a trading outpost.<ref>Lambat wishes to announce its claim on an unnamed and uninhabited island in +,+. Details in the comments. : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref>
President Kaprediem visited Mount September from February 19-21 with the intention of establishing permanent diplomatic relations. During his absence, activity in Lambat was extremely low. Upon his return, he found that Lambat City was pillaged by a group of bandits, causing the destruction of virtually all structures, such as the Executive Palace, the Town Hall, and the First National Factory. The raiders also looted a significant amount of diamonds and iron, among other valuables.
The incident gained international attention, prompting humanitarian, military, and intelligence support from Cortesia Del Mar, Icenia, Lusitania, and Mount September. One of the accused, namely [[Thomasvdbunt]], was subdued and pearled by Icenian officials in former Mount Augusta. Kaprediem requested to the Septemberian government that the accused be extradited to Icenia for trial.<ref>A Bounty for Basher69, Suspect in Raiding and Pillaging the City of Lambat : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref> Reconstruction efforts in Lambat continued for around two weeks.
Weeks after the reconstruction, Lambat ushered in a period of increased economic activity. Several new buildings and factories were built, most notably the Lambat Rail Station, which connects the country to international destinations.<ref>The Lambat Post (Vol. I, No. 4) - April 1, 2021 : civclassics (reddit.com)</ref> In April 2021, Kaprediem reorganized Lambat City's counties into districts and expanding its borders to the western coast of Lake Ewell. In the same month, Lambat signed a grant from the Augustan Development Bank.
With the influx of newfriends and rapid urbanization of Lambat, the nation entered an unprecedented era of growth and prosperity, therefore several adjustments had to be made. The National Reconstruction Council was abolished and succeeded by the State Ministry, an executive and legislative council with members appointed by the President. The City of Lambat was incorporated through a charter, leading to the nation's first elections. Kaprediem and Kloudei were elected as mayor and councilor, respectively.
====
On the 4th of May, Lambatans ratified their constitution with a vote of 7-0, changing their nation's form of government from oligarchy to democracy. Elections were held in the 15th of May; Kaprediem won and became the first democratically-elected president, while [[
On the 24th of June 2021, [[Vesteria]] was created as an autonomous territory of Lambat, being headed by [[Commrade Potatoe|CommradePotatoe]]. The following month, the second Lambat City local elections resulted in Hills4Real's mayorship, after Kaprediem opted to not pursue another term. Private businesses such as Artificial Enterprises (brewing) and Delta Mart (agriculture and retail) were founded during this period. The special build district of Vigan was also established under the management of KurtTheFruit and F_aint.
In late July 2021, Kaprediem declared a day-long state of emergency, as a consequence of a heated bounty-placing incident between then-Defense minister minemaster933 and citizens of Columbia and Kallos. Fearing escalation and a possible spillover, Kaprediem announced the closure of borders, temporary suspension of citizenship applications, and a travel ban for citizens of Lambat. The Cabinet was also subsequently reshuffled, replacing minemaster933 with Ch1pr as the Minister of Defense. In addition, Kaprediem handed over his positions as Minister of Interior and Minister of State to Yodabird19 and CommradePotatoe, respectively.
The constitution was revised for the third time. Amendments include the creation of the position of Vice President. removal of the mandatory government allowance. and abolition of the Ministry of Arts and Culture. ArtificialDriver was elected as Vice President alongside Kaprediem under the Citizens' Action Party in the second presidential election, defeating candidate InvertedMind and CommradePotatoe of the Commerce and Industry Party by a vote of 12 against 8.
Two international rail lines were built during this period: the Pacem-Monterrey-Lambat Line and the L-Line, the latter connecting Lambat to fellow Augustan Consortium nations Gabon and Lusitania.
In August, the neighboring Socialist Commune of Islands was integrated into Lambat and became its second autonomous region. This is the first and only time a sovereign state was voluntarily annexed by Lambat. The SCI was renamed Greater Duskwood. Its founder and leader 4pocalypse4risen remains as its governor.
On the 27th of August 2021, Kaprediem announced his resignation due to personal reasons. ArtificialDriver succeeded him as the second Presdient of Lambat, ending Kaprediem's 8-month rule. CommradePotatoe became the second Vice President after being briefly nominated the Chief Justice, as per the constitution's rules of succession.
====Presidency of ArtificialDriver (September 1 - November 23 2021)====
=====Geographical expansion=====
Besides Lambat's expansion into Greater Duskwood, the territory of Salakot was divided into the Province of Salakot del Norte and the Territory of Salakot del Sur. Former Cocoan Prime Minister AK built a settlement in the eastern coast of mainland Lambat; this became the town of Kapreborough. The Province of Foytic Tabmal also began development under the efforts of Banyough, Helleonov, and Kloudei.
=====October griefing incidents=====
Several isolated griefing incidents occurred in October, targeting downtown Lambat, Foytic Tabmal, and Greater Duskwood. At least two citizens were slain during this period by a suspected alt-raider.
=====Fifth Constituent Assembly=====
The fifth revision of the constitution was passed by a 8-0 vote on the 9th of November 2021. The amendments extensively reformed Lambat's government by introducing a legislative body, called the National Assembly; introducing a term limit of two consecutive terms for both the President and Vice President; changing the line of succession to include the Speaker of the National Assembly as well as individual members of the Cabinet; and, restriction of foreign officials from serving in key executive government positions, among others.
At the same time, Ministries were renamed 'Departments', abandoning initial plans to pattern the government after the French semi-presidential system headed by a President and Prime Minister.
[[File:Lambat-Render-Nov-2021.png|center|thumb|741x741px|Aerial view of Lambat City as of November 10, 2021]]
=====Solidification of the Two Party System=====
[[File:CAP Symbol.png|thumb|100px|The logo of the [[CAP]]]]
[[File:LAP Symbol.png|thumb|100px|The logo of the [[LAP]]]]
[[ArtificialDriver]]'s presidency saw the development of interparty competition and debate in Lambat. During [[kaprediem]]'s first two terms, Lambatan politics had largely behaved as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_stamp_(politics)|rubber stamp]; most bills and iniatives were passed and supported overwhelmingly, most elections were not competitive, parties were inconsequential, and in cases where opposition did exist, it would be cordially resolved before any voting occurred.<br>
The ArtificialDriver administration, by contrast, was beset by frequent unresolved debates over the future direction of Lambat. Perennial arguments over issues such as military development, diplomatic direction, and "the core values of Lambat" (a phrase oft repeated) marked a change in the Lambatan political atmosphere.<br>
These issues quickly ossified into a two-party system. The formation of the [[Lambat Ascension Party]] - a successor to [[InvertedMind]]'s [[Commerce and Industry Party]], dedicated to "realizing the growth and development potential of Lambat" - created for the first time a serious competitor to the [[Citizens' Action Party]], and assumed the more radical positions in these debates. The [[CAP]] - the party of Lambat's original founders, which had been the sole serious party in the nation until this point - assumed the conservative ones.<br>
The first test of this newfound division was on September 6th, 2021, when a suggestion by [[ImperatorMendes]] to use a Lambatan world download for the purposes of combat training was put to a public vote by [[yodabird19]] of [[LAP]]. The bill sparked 72 hours (the length of a bill vote) of controversy in Lambat, before ultimately being defeated 6-9.<br>
One of [[ArtificialDriver]]'s last acts as President came on October 31, 2021, when he removed [[yodabird19]] from his position as Minister of Defense, just two weeks before Lambat's Presidential, Judicial, Legislative, and Local elections were due to coincide in an intense November election season.
====November 2021 Lambatan elections====
{{Main|2021 November Lambat general elections}}
[[File:Novprop1234.png|thumb|400px|Counter-clockwise from the upper-right:<br>[[LAP]] propaganda referencing the October griefing incidents<br>[[CAP]] propaganda announcing [[kaprediem]]'s candidacy<br>[[LAP]] propaganda implying that [[kaprediem]] lacked a platform<br>[[CAP]] propaganda responding to the previous propaganda with the B.A.S.E.D. platform]]
The November elections were the biggest that Lambat had ever seen, both in terms of the number of positions up for election (the recent creation of the National Assembly created yet another election to take place in November) and in terms of turnout (35 ballots were cast in the national elections, over 52% of the entire citizenry of the nation). These elections were the first party-centric elections that Lambat had had (previous elections saw little to no "toeing the party line", although in August [[Elections in Lambat|there was a slimmer margin between Kaprediem and CAI candidate InvertedMind]]), and saw the first use of propaganda by both parties.<br>
The November election season kicked off with [[CommradePotatoe]]'s candidacy announcement on November 9, backed by the [[LAP]]. [[kaprediem]] followed up with the same two days later, backed by the [[CAP]]. This battle continued through to the opening of elections on November 20th.<br>
The November elections had two competitive races: President and City Mayor. The Assembly and City Council elections were not competitive, and the Judicial elections were exempt from party involvement due to the constitutional impartiality of judges. Ultimately, the [[CAP]] took both elections: [[kaprediem]] beat [[CommradePotatoe]] for the Presidency 22-13, and [[4pocalypse4risen]] beat [[Hills4Real]] for the mayorship 10-7.<br>
The November 2021 Lambatan elections are generally considered a blowout victory for the [[CAP]], who as a result of them controlled the Presidency, Lambat City, and the Assembly.
===== Third presidency of Kaprediem (November 23 - December 18 2021) =====
=== End of CivClassic ===
Upon the announcement of the server's closure, activity in Lambat dropped severely. Minor events during this period include Lambat's ascension into the Augustan Federation's council, the mildly successful water and lava-casting of Banyough's residence, and resignation of AK as Vice President. Lambat effectively ceased to exist as a country on the 18th of December (19th in Manila time). Some Lambatans temporarily moved to [[CivRev]] to found the State of Lambat, an unofficial successor to the Republic.
==== Post-CivClassic events and CivMC Migration ====
After CivClassic, several changes to Lambat's government were made to facilitate an eventual transition to another server. The government and constitution were suspended; this made way for the National Transitional Council (NTC), which consisted of Kaprediem, Banyough, and Creepi0n. The NTC was eventually dissolved when its members went on to other projects.
The SAR of Greater Duskwood was granted independence on March 1st, 2022.<ref>Announcing the grant of independence for the Republic of Greater Duskwood (Treaty of Lambat and Greater Duskwood) : Lambat (reddit.com)</ref> On May 2022, citizens voted 18-1, in favor of a referendum calling for Lambat's migration to CivMC.
==Etymology==
The country's name is derived from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_language Filipino (a standardized form of Tagalog)] word for fishing net.<ref>LAMBAT: Definition of the Tagalog word lambat in English. Tagalog.com.
==
===
The President serves as the head of state and government. Under the constitution, the president is an elected position who may serve for a three-month term, and may be reelected for unlimited times.
Legislative power is vested upon the National Assembly, an elected representative legislature, and the citizenry, through direct democracy. Laws are proposed and voted upon directly by citizens and representatives and ratified or vetoed by the president. The constitution provides for the establishment of a legislative assembly, which may be convened upon the people's will.
The Supreme Court is the primary judicial arm of Lambat and follows the civil law tradition, with common law influences.

*'''Lambat National Party''' (LNP) - Formed and dissolved in January 2021 as Lambat's sole ruling party by Kaprediem. Evolved into the CAP.
*'''Commerce and Industry Party''' (CAI) - Formed by Invertedmind in August 2021. Known for competing in the second Presidential elections. Assumed to be dissolved due to its members moving to form LAP and Invertedmind's departure from Civclassic.
* '''Lambat Nationalist Party''' (LNTP) - A party formed by then-citizen Ch1pr. LNTP is not known to have fielded any candidates in elections. Possibly dissolved due to inactivity and lack of members.
*'''Lambat Trolling Party''' (LTP) - Former Lambat City Mayor Hills4real's party. Its main ideology is trolling. The party's existence is disputed due to its founder and sole member's participation in LAP.
=== Ideology and political philosophy===
Line 165 ⟶ 407:
Lambat's values are described in its "Four Freedoms": freedom of speech, freedom of faith, freedom from want, and freedom from oppression. It is a liberal democracy in principle.
== Economy and infrastructure==
Lambat is a predominantly agricultural nation, supplemented by mining. The government plans to open its economy to foreign businesses in order to bolster growth within the country and in the region. Iron and diamond are both used as currency for international date, while a barter system is practiced domestically. The country uses a floating exchange rate where the value of iron is dependent on the supply of diamonds (and vice versa).

===Transportation===
Lambat is connected to the multi-junction KANI Railway System and the L-Line direct system. The country is one of the signatories to the L-Line Treaty.
====History of transportation====
Until March 2021, the country was mainly served by dirt roads. Boat was the most preferred method of outbound travel, since there were no active railways.
Lambat was served by the Lambat Colonial Line, a series of both new and repurposed railways established by [[Commrade Potatoe|CommradePotatoe]], which has stops in all Lambatan territories except for North Vacari, which is accessible through the Nexus-Iria line. The LBCL was later merged into the KANI system.
After a directive posted by the then Minister of the Interior, Kaprediem, Lambat has spearheaded railway construction to [[Pacem]] and [[Monterrey|Rainer]] and is constructing rails to [[Lusitania (CivClassic 2.0)|Lusitania]], [[Lumière]], and [[Gabon]].
===Communications===
[[The Lambat Post]] is a state-owned newspaper, irregularly published at least once a month. It mainly features news and exchange rate updates.
