History

Pre-Civclassic Epoch (December 2020 - January 2021)

The origins of Lambat stemmed from an unnamed LAN world, where adventurers 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 Civclassic and decided to embark on a mission to establish a colony.

Civclassic Epoch (January 2021 - present)

Kaprediem spawned thousands of blocks south of Gensokyo with few weapons and a minecart. 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.

On the 13th of January, 2021, kaprediem established Lambat Settlement and called upon the assistance of banyough, in order to initiate construction activities, ushering the birth of a new nation state.

Government and Politics

Structure

The President serves as the head of state and government. Under the current framework, the President is a self-appointed position who may serve indefinitely, and may draft, enact, repeal laws in their will, but not without consultation with the Free State's citizens. Under the proposed constitution, the executive and legislative powers of the President will be shared with an elected Legislative-Executive Council. An independent High Court will also be set into place. Reforms are set to take place once immigration to Lambat commences. The constitution is presently in its drafting stages and is expected to be ratified soon.
