'''The Thomas Archipelago''' is a chain of Islands located far off the northwest coast of the Main Continent. The Archipelago has a humid climate and is mostly covered with dense forests. The Thomas Archipelago is home to the countries of [[Odresh]] and [[TChad]] along with a [[Wheatistan|Wheatistani]] colony and the [[Alexandria|Alexandrian]] colony of [[Solitude]]. There is also an unclaimed area of the Archipelago, which the nations of the islands have agreed to leave untouched in order to preserve the nature of the islands.

=== The Scramble for the Archipelago ===
Following the release of the new map, many nations scrambled to colonize the archipelago. Alexandria was the first ones to officially submit their claimed colony, and they were followed shortly by the new nations of [[Odresh]] and [[Tchad]] along with
=== Alexandria Dispute ===
Seeing the scarcity of overall land, and seeing that they had developed almost everything in their territory, the people of Tchad were annoyed that Alexandria had done little to develop what was the largest claim on the archipelago. This came to a head when it was discovered that Jaydon, the leader of the Alexandrian colony, had put their land up for sale in the main CivRealms discord. A dispute broke out on discord as Tchad argued that Alexandria was simply trying to profit from the islands as much as possible, and were angry that they hadn't consulted the Archipelago Union beforehand. Alexandria claimed that they recognized that they should reduce their total land size, and said that by selling their land they would be doing just that. To settle this, a meeting was planned for later that day, in which much more organized explanations took place. A new plan was quickly developed, with Alexandria ceding about half of their land to be a joint claim, while giving a smaller portion directly to Tchad.
