'''Lambat''' (/lamˈbat/; Filipino: Lambát), officially the '''Republic of Lambat''' is a nation-state in the CivMC server. It is located in the Lyrean Subcontinent region of the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Eastern Continent]]
It is a member state of the Lyrean Council and an honorary member of the Medi Sea Forum. Lambat in CivMC is the direct successor to the [[Lambat (CivClassic 2.0)|eponymous state]] in post-Infinity War CivClassic 2.0. {{Infobox civilization|image=Lambat_CivMC_Flag.png|position_title1=President|national_color=|discord=|national_anthem=Dear Lambat (Tagalog: Inang bayan kong Lambat) <br> [[File: Dear Lambat (Piano only).mp3]]|motto=Sipag at tiyaga (hard work and perseverance)|ideology=|religion=Secular with some adherents of Coppronism, Chungianism, and other religions|language=* English (lingua franca)

Although Lambat was generally unaffected by the war, it was occasionally raided by lone actors such as Vah and Ez2Clutch. Two notable incidents involve the murders of SamBonusG in Pioneer Village <ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/984252248441913374/1009666929549647992</ref> and Kaprediem in CivMarket.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/987249881141903391/1014945660908359771</ref>
The Lambat-Letos Nether Portal was temporarily closed to the public on September 7, after it was used as a transit point by two raiders who attacked
.
A Rhodesian operation in Pavia on September 11 prompted the Lambatan Government to reactivate the Lambat National Guard and implement total closure of the country's borders.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/810725055130501190/1018349183536730202</ref>

=== Post-war period (September 18 2022 -
[[File:Lambat Subdivision Map (first level) without towns.png|300x300px|thumb|A map of Lambat's political subdivisions prior to their reorganization.]]
Lambat's population growth tempered after the war. No new citizens were registered in November 2022, a first for the nation since its reestablishment. In spite of demographic decline, Lambat's economy benefited from postwar stability, which allowed for major infrastructure projects: the Great Lazuli Oceanic Bridge (GOB), built by SamBonusG, and the Yoahtl-owned [[Great Overland Railway]].
The Lambatan countryside also saw more development, particularly in the western territories of Blanco and Valle Occidental with its two towns, and the formation of Timberbourg, a neighborhood east of Pioneer District.
In December 2022, Lambat saw its first election in more than year with the conduct of Lambat City's Metropolitan Council elections.
In February 2023, the southern portions of Letos were annexed by Lambat, an act the Government justified due to the city-state's lack of activity. Within the same month, Lambat also acquired New Oldendor (Varathia) and Margaritaville, the latter made possible after MaybeGravy's request. During the same month, Lambat City held its second Metro Council elections, where SamBonusG secured a second term and became the first person to be reelected in CivMC's iteration of Lambat. Meanwhile, VilyanZ is the first citizen to be elected without being appointed prior to a government position.
In March, the territories of Mercado Strait, Blanco, and Valle Occidental were merged by the Lambatan government to form the province of Valle Occidental. TikraiNiGedvilas was appointed as the provincial governor.
In June, Lambat acquired Lusitania's unclaimed badlands, tentatively named the Lambatan Exterior Territories (LET).
==== Lambatan civil war (January 25 - February 1 2023) ====
Normally peaceful, Lambat engaged itself in a farley civil war that started as a coup, initiated by Banyough and her so-called monarchist supporters against the republican Government. The war lasted for six days, ending in restoration of the status quo. Despite its farcical nature, the conflict was well-documented in the form of subreddit posts and internal banter.
=== The Grass Age (April 2023 - present) ===
By the middle of 2023, many Lambatans became less active in CivMC due to non-game related concerns. Kaprediem announced in May that he would become less involved in CivMC for personal reasons.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/13k3znr/the_sun_never_sets_in_the_east_kaprediems_not/</ref> On June 17, 10 Lambatans were revoked of citizenship due to inactivity, cutting Lambat's population down to 29.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/812258748285845525/1119450841330495559</ref> The 4th Lambat Metro Council elections resulted in the first victory for the Lambat Royalist Party, represented by Metriximor.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/837328089867485185/1120331324339798159</ref> SamBonusG then stepped down as Mayor after a six-month term. He was replaced by AKJanklin.
The following month, Magnileve vacated his post as Minister of Agriculture and went on indefinite leave, reducing the State Council's seats to seven.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/812258748285845525/1132960522850029618</ref> At the end of July, the Lambat Post announced its permanent closure and rebranding into the Lambat Express News Service (LENS).<ref>https://discord.com/channels/810436686021394492/984252248441913374/1134890548449251470</ref> Growth in Lambat City continued as MaybeGravy started developing the District of Pampang.
On January 18, 2024, Kaprediem went on indefinite leave due to IRL commitments and waning interest in CivMC, and appointed SamBonusG as Lambat's first prime minister and co-head of government.
== Geography ==
[[File:
Mainland Lambat's climate is temperate, with flat plains on both the north, center, and south of the country. Between these flat areas are various biomes featuring rougher, hilly topography. In the cases of the three national parks, these areas are also heavily wooded.
Both landmasses border the Stony Sea.
=== Lambat City ===
Line 72 ⟶ 101:
==== • Poblacion ====
West of Pioneer District is the urban heart of L-City, Poblacion. Governmental-purpose buildings, embassies (with the exception of [[Reconstruction Era|ReEra's]]), large-scale businesses, and various public amenities are located here. Buildings in this area tend to be larger-scale, taller and made of more advanced material, due to both looser building restrictions and greater government spending in the area. However, because of these factors (as well as existing mandates requiring homes be built in Pioneer Village), little if any residential buildings are present.
The northern area of Poblacion houses buildings that make up the cultural quarter of Lambat City. This includes the Lambat International Museum: it had a flag collection and as of August 11, 2022, was the only museum present in the [[Lyrean Community|Lyrean]] region. A heist around the end of November 2022 wiped out its entire flag collection.
Following the passing of Minecraft Youtuber [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technoblade Technoblade], the north-south running boulevard in western Poblacion was renamed to Technoblade Boulevard via a proclamation made July 1st by President [[Kaprediem]].
==== •
==== • Katipan ====
Katipan district is a thin strip of land encompassing the northernmost area of Lambat City. It borders Northend to the south, Mt. Abedul to the west, and Mt Flor to the north. It is connected to Judea via the Two-Cities Bridge, a medium-sized wonder featuring two tall towers inspired by industrial European architecture.
Line 83 ⟶ 112:
'''• Lumbria and Frontier Hills'''
The eastern portion of Lambat City is covered by the rural districts of Lumbria and Frontier Hills. Its main settlement is Timberbourg, a German-style village built by [[MoonDemon19015]]. Both districts were acquired by Lambat after the annexation of Judea.
'''•''' '''Pampang'''
it consists of the western plains of former [[Judea]]. The southern portion of Pampang is being developed by MaybeGravy, and features several mid-rise buildings that make use of colored terracotta. The district also features a hippodrome currently under construction by SamBonusG.
=== Chungia ===
Line 90 ⟶ 125:
=== Valle Occidental ===
Valle Occidental is divided into three sub-regions:
'''Valle Occidental'''
The province's namesake features a central plain to its east (called "Newfriendland"). The Settlement of Heavensroost and the Mt. Pico de Blanco mountain range lie in the west of the territory. Mt. Flor is historically a part of Valle Occidental before being transferred to Chungia.
'''Blanco'''
West of Valle Occidental lies Blanco, the site of Mt. Blanco, an important source of cold-climate crops for Lambat. Blanco is a condominium shared by Lambat and the [[Djani'hweh|Mehri people]]. Blanco's main settlement is Bazariškės, which was briefly an anarchist commune during the [[January 2023 Lambatan coup d'état|Lambatan civil war]].
Blanco was formerly held by a one-man naton called Za State, known for the ruins of its former capital, Provcap.
==== Mercado Strait ====
Mercado Strait consists of the southernmost part of Lambat, and contains the commune of Bazariškės-Peniškės, as well as the remains of one of the first nations to go dead on the server, [[The Collective]]. These remains include a massive, hilly field of wheat that has remained untouched since the country's extinction, as well as a seemingly religious structure (true purpose unknown), and an abandoned underground railway system that leads to nowhere. If you continue traveling south into the jungle along Route 40, you will eventually come to the beginning of the [[Great Lazuli Oceanic Bridge|GLOB]], along with a stable selling horses for faster travel.
=== Kawayan ===
The territory of Kawayan comprises of Lambat's southeastern frontier and mainly serves as its source of dark oak and junglewood.
====
Also known as '''North Varathia''', Parfait is an exclave located northeast of Varathia and south of Judea - its closest border being separated by Mainland Lambat border by approximately 200 meters. It is completely comprised of a tropical roofed-forest biome, with a beach overlooking Parfait Bay on its northernmost end. It is an agriculturally-oriented region. It is mainly used to farm dark oak and jungle wood, and grows various tropical flora as well.[[File:Kota Habagatan - Kawayan Territory, Lambat.png|left|thumb|375x375px|Kota Habagatan, Kawayan Territory]]'''Kawayan,''' also known as Reedy Creek (not to be confused with the former Blockchainistan exclave in Impendia, which bares the same name) borders North Varathia to the east. It is a lush jungle formerly occupied by Blockchainistan under the United Fruit Company. It was annexed by Lambat after the fall of Blockchainistan in the end of the Generic War. Kawayan hosts one settlement, Kota Habagatan, a jungle rest stop located beside the GOR.

=== National Parks ===
Line 113 ⟶ 160:
There are currently three national parks in Lambat.
* '''Barrier Reef''' is a coral reef system in the Stony Sea spanning from the coast of Blanco to southeast of Lambat City's waters.
* '''Monte Abedul''' is a mountain range situated northwest of Lambat City and east of the Valle Occidental. It is thickly covered by a birch forest, hence it being named after the Spanish word for "birch." Wild bees live gregariously in the woods of Mt. Abedul.
* '''Monte Flor''' is a mountain range located directly in between Lambat City and Chungia. It mainly features rolling hills covered by colorful flowers and mixed woodland. Notably, there are a sizeable amount of conifers growing amongst the forest. These trees are endangered in Lambat, as they do not grow back if manually replanted in the area.
== Government ==
The central government of Lambat is a transitional oligarchy headed by a president. Initially a dictatorship, the Lambatan government evolved into its current form by gradual delegation of certain powers to appointed ministers. This transitional form of government is expected to be succeeded by a hybrid democracy. The present form of government is derived from the Provisional Constitution of 2022. The president serves as both head of state and government, handling foreign affairs and national security. Kaprediem is the inaugural holder for this position, having been president from November 2021 in CivClassic 2.0.
Lambat in CivMC held its first elections in December 2022, where citizens of Lambat City elected members of the Metropolitan Council, a legislative-judicial body with jurisdiction limited to Lambat City. The Metro Council itself elects the Mayor of Lambat City, who is formally appointed by the President.
The State Council presently consists of three ministers (Minister of Public Works and Transport, Minister of Commerce, Minister of Agriculture) and the Governor of Chungia.

'''Roads'''
Lambat has an extensive road network that spans its entire territory. Its roads are managed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, under the oversight of the Office of the President. There are five numbered routes, as listed below. Primary highways or trunk lines are numbered with single digits (e.g. Lambat-Chungia Highway being Route 1), while secondary highways, which are major roads confined within a province or city, are given two digits.

A copypasta that satirizes a particular Phiippine presidential candidate's campaign became somewhat popular both in Lambat and in other nations. It follows a template that consists of the title "WHY (person's name) IS MY (a misspelled name of said person's government position or role in a country)", followed by a list of ten items supposedly praising a person's positive traits and achievements in a sarcastic and/or tongue-in-cheek manner.
'Lambatan Imperialism Strikes Again' is a phrase coined by [[CommradePotatoe]], used as a remark for perceived imperialistic actions committed by Lambat. It shares its acronym with the Lambat Intelligence and Statistics Agency (LISA).
