The '''Treaty of Serenity''' was a peace treaty signed on May 13th, 2020 as a result of the [[Romano-Columbian War]] between the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]], [[Arelat]], [[Meridia]] and [[Columbia]]. The treaty marked a formal ending to the conflict, and saw the territories of [[Columbia]] annexed by the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].<ref name=":0">https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/giosyi/treaty_of_serenity/</ref> |

Columbia, and old nation from previous iterations, moved to Realms through securing a stretch of coastline from the nation of [[Moloka]]. In the following weeks, Columbia conducted itself in means which its neighbors determined to be threatening. This first emerged during a partition of ICOR land, where the leader of Columbia was aggressive in his requests for land. He posted maps over claiming his neighbors and sending plans for a "Gran Columbia". This, compounded with a dispute with the Romans over bastions led to the multilateral decision to invade. A formal declaration of war was posted to the subreddit, and the leader of Columbia was pearled in his bunker. The invasion was controversial, and many countries<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gh0029/the_duckapore_ministry_of_basic_human_decency/ "The Duckapore Ministry of Basic Human Decency publicly states that the invasion of Columbia is unjust..."]</ref><ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gh0029/the_duckapore_ministry_of_basic_human_decency/fq5p7bq/ Christianada Leader Gus_was_here: "FreeColumbia"]</ref> objected to the war, considering there to be insufficient grounds for attack. A guerilla war was waged with some international support, but the Romans called in the help of some members of [[Savaguard]]. After a second decisive battle and the pearling of the remaining Columbians, the treaty was signed and the territories were incorporated into the Roman Empire. |

=== Columbia's move to CivRealms === |
|||
During the [[Great CivClassics Migration]] of 2020, [[Columbia]] was one of the nations that decided to move to Civrealms. On April 15th, 2020, Columbia officially announced that they had negotiated the transfer of a piece of land from [[Moloka]].<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/g1rtjm/officially_announcing_the_third_empire_of_columbia/</ref> Due to Columbia not immediately releasing their claims publicly, there was some confusion regarding the island of [[Christianada]], which had been settled in the period between Columbia getting the land from Moloka and Columbia officially announcing their claims. This was quickly resolved and Columbia officially recognized Christianada's ownership of the island.<ref name=":1" /> |

=== Partitioning of ICOR<!-- I dont know the specifics of this situation, but i get the impression that ICOR willingly gave up land. In that case, partitioning might not be the best word, as that makes it sound like ICOR was invaded/didnt willingly give up the land. --> === |
|||
In the weeks after Columbia's official founding, multiple incidents occured that raised tensions between Columbia and some of its neighbours. The first one major incident was during the partitioning of [[I.C.O.R.]], where [[Shadedoom888]], the leader of Columbia, made demands for land, which were criticized by some of the other countries at the conference.<!-- Anyone who can provide specifics on what happened at the ICOR partitioning, or maybe provide a source I can read, would be very much appreciated <3<3 --> |
|||
=== Greater Columbia === |
|||
Another incident in the pre-war period was when [[Shadedoom888]] posted a map showing his plans for a "Greater Columbia". On the map, Columbia had claimed over the territories of multiple neighboring nations.<ref>[[:File:Greater Columbia.png|File:Greater Columbia.png]]</ref> Shadedoom888 later claimed that this map was posted as a joke, and that he never intended to create Greater Columbia.<ref>Citation needed</ref> |

== Romano-Columbian War<!-- Is there a better name for this conflict? Someone pls correct this if there is lol --> == |

=== Declaration of war and initial fighting === |
|||
On May 5th, 2020, the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]], [[Meridia]] and [[Arelat]] formally declared war against [[Columbia]], citing "[The prevention of] current and future Columbian aggression" as their reason for their pre-emptive invasion.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gdr04t/declaration_of_war_to_prevent_current_and_future/</ref> At the very start of the war, [[Shadedoom888]] was pearled in his bunker in Columbia. <!-- I don't know the details of what happened in this part of the war so feel free to add more. Remember that this is the early phase of the war, not the vault battle --><!-- Taco wrote "A guerilla war was waged with some international support, but the Romans called in the help of some members of Savaguard." in his original version of this article. I'm not sure exactly what he was referring to, but I think it should probably be in this section of the article --> |
|||
On May 7th<!-- Possibly May 6th, we shoudl probably ask around and see if someone can confirm the date -->, NotAnAlt69 ([[Incentives]]) and YourAverageClick ([[ComradeRick]]) attempted to dig a tunnel from Incentives' bunker at his farm in [[Moloka]] into the Roman Fort in the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]]. While digging the tunnel, they were discovered by [[Tremerus]], and Incentives was pearled, while ComradeRick was killed, but not pearled.<ref>[[:File:Tremerus timeline of the Romano-Columbian War.png|File:Tremerus timeline of the Romano-Columbian War.png]]</ref> |

=== International Reactions === |
|||
The invasion of Columbia was very controversial at its time, with multiple countries and players publicly denouncing the invasion, citing what they believed to be insufficient grounds for an attack.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gh0029/the_duckapore_ministry_of_basic_human_decency/ "The Duckapore Ministry of Basic Human Decency publicly states that the invasion of Columbia is unjust..."]</ref><ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gh0029/the_duckapore_ministry_of_basic_human_decency/fq5p7bq/ Christianada Leader Gus_was_here: "FreeColumbia"]</ref> One of the examples cited by the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]], [[Meridia]] and [[Arelat]], when justifying their invasion, was the fact that [[Columbia]] had recently bought around 200 stacks of obsidian. This was used to claim that Columbia intended to use this Obsidian, either to make a [[Vault]], or for other military purposes.<ref>Citation needed</ref> This claim disputed by MCSPenguin, who made a post where he argued that there were many legitimate uses for 200 stacks of obsidian.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ghizpb/on_the_subject_of_obsidian/</ref> It later became a meme among those critical of the Roman invasion to jokingly ask people if they had an "Obby License".<ref>Citation needed</ref> |

=== T-Day === |
|||
On May 10th, [[Tremerus]] was pearled while returning from his beet farm. His pearl was moved to [[Incentives]]' [[Vault]], which was located on the [[Wheatistan|Wheatistani]] part of the Eastern Mushroom Island. Later that day, the [[The Roman Empire|Roman Empire]] and [[Savaguard]], along with help from [[Risunsky and Sons]], launched an attack on [[Incentives]]' [[Vault]], which was being defended by Columbia along with some volunteer soldiers from a handful of other countries. The attack resulted in a total victory for the attackers, with all pearls being freed, and shortly thereafter, the Treaty of Serenity was signed.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gj75j5/tday/</ref> The entire battle was filmed and uploaded to youtube by [[Saren]], and can be watched [https://youtu.be/GXSBECCYQlM here]. |
