''Main Article: [[Second Hell War]]''
The strength of the new union was quickly put to the test as the ongoing Cantina-Olympia cold war rapidly approached a direct conflict. Skirmishes in the southwestern desert around the [[Ascension Vault]] turned into a full
This proved to be a mistake, as their broken treaty enraged Olympia, with the Olympians raiding and occupying the city of Lynn several days into the war. Sadie, the Beekeeeper at the time, was pearled, and the mantle of leader fell to prawny331, who was declared interim Beekeeper. This occupation was initially pushed out, but as the coalition continued to bleed pearls and looked to surrender<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/inv5sg/the_coalition_of_states_warring_olympia_raise_the/</ref>, the defense of Lynn was abandoned and the city was evacuated while Olympia resumed their occupation.

To prevent this and to provide extra diplomatic pressure with the raiding<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/io01z6/the_sad_truth/</ref> of coalition cities who had already surrendered, Otona-Varathia was formally integrated into the greater Carbon Federation, and a more balanced peace was achieved with the Treaty of Crystal Cove with Convoy's mediation<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d-dFYrOT25BCoTaZ9Bpxy3iEpAlgPnPgkGAQ0uPe_wM/edit?usp=sharing</ref>. In this treaty, the formerly Norlish mesa claims were handed to the new state of Neo-Bobanga as a portion of the larger state of Laconia. The interim Beekeeper, prawny331, stood down upon the signing of this peace, with binchymonkey later appointed as his successor.

''Main Article: [[Barbary War]]''
Following the destruction of CivCorp and the ongoing hunt for those responsible, a group of Chungesians and Olympians (now Laconians) retreated to the New War to escape from bounty hunters and formed the [[Pirates|New World Pirates]]. They ended up choosing to settle within the claims of the Gallagher Territory, due to Otonabee's connection to Carbon, despite Carbon holding no say in the territory's operation. With some minor conflicts in Gallagher, Polaria and New Providence due to leaked discord messages with the Gallagher custodian, prawny331 and the Varathian emperor, Logiche, planning to supply [[Oasis]] fighters to take on the pirates, the conflict exploded into all

''Main Article: [[Lynn]]''
Built around the two sources of the vast [[Vesa River]], the modern-styled city of Lynn is the crowning glory of Otonabee, standing stubbornly against the apparent futility of living in such hostile terrain. Lynn is home to many different landmarks, all of them inside the city itself. Binchymonkey is the "resident shitter" that reins control over

Line 126:
The Republic of Otonabee is ruled by the democratically elected Beekeeper. This position replaced the position of the President upon the formation of the Otona-Varathian Empire and the dissolution of Otonabee's constitution, following a unanimous referendum. The Council of Bees, chosen by the Beekeeper, advises the Beekeeper and the Varathian emperors on matters of state. Elections are held upon request by citizens after a minimum period of 2 months following the prior election, and any primary or dual citizens are eligible to vote.Finally, the Beekeeper must have their primary residence in Otonabee to be eligible to run. Finally, the Judge is also chosen by the Beekeeper. Currently, IKEA_FRIDGE has been the only citizen to hold this title.
Internal politics are typically straightforward and simple, owing to the close friendships of many of the long-time citizens. All three prior leaders all retired of their own accord, and elections are infrequent and tend to favor the sitting leader. As per the signing of the Treaty of Lynn and the unification of Otona-Varathia, the Varathian Emperors have the final say on any laws passed by the council and the Beekeeper, but the Beekeeper holds veto power over Otonabee coming under the jurisdiction of new Varathian laws.

====HQ (Otonabee Headquarters)====
Planned in the very early days of Otonabee, the HQ building was planned to be a large office tower housing the operations of the nation and other key infrastructure. The building was designed to minimize cost, using gray stained glass panes & terracotta, which could both be created by using the materials in the surrounding mesa biome. The tower was completed not long after construction began
==== Otonabee Market & Surrounding Developments====
At the beginning of the construction Lynn, several large terracotta buildings were built by CAM_AL & Molliam. These towers were largely unreinforced due to the lack of resources at the time
====Dartmouth Casino====
The Dartmouth Casino was an offshoot of the tourism plan enacted by CAM_AL related to the olympics. The casino was planned to be built between the tributaries of the Dartmouth river, just north of Dartmouth, off of the main road between Lynn & Dartmouth. This project used very expensive materials, such as concrete and dark oak, as such, progress was slow

==== Snitch networks and bastion grids====
Due to its newfriend origins, Otonabee never established a full snitch network or bastion grid. Many different government members and citizens noticed this and attempted to correct the nation's sloppy bastion grid, a project that was ongoing when activity on the server died off. A basic snitch network was created
