History
As of Session 1b, EXODUS inhabits one of two closely-neighboring islands. On the neighboring island resided what was once the proud nation of Firefly Island, which was then overtaken by the nation, Fungaia, "through mass immigration by colonialist settlers who claimed to only be 5 in total but numbered in the 20s" - Quote by Firefly Island Native.
Session 1a:
Starting as a group of players at spawn, the original Exodians made an "exodus" from spawn to a temporary coastal base. After discovering an island further out into the ocean, they backed up most valuables, and abandoned the coastal base in favor of the new land.
Shortly after arrival, they realized the neighboring island was inhabited. The original inhabitants of Firefly Island agreed to being neighbors with EXODUS, and both nations quickly became allied. Some time after the alliance being established, Firefly Island provided a Mooshroom to EXODUS as part of this friendship.
Session 1b:
Members of EXODUS were invited by Fungaian members to join an election on the neighboring island. Although unaware of the growing tension between members of Firefly Island and Fungaia, the Exodians declined upfront about directly participating,upfront, noting concerns about the Fungaians referring to EXODUS as a "state" to Fungaia's "country."country" if they were to participate. Towards the end of the session, Fugaia held the election right before the session ended,election, and some Exodians attended the election as witnesses.
Island name: EXODUS Island, or "Mooshroom Island".

Foreign affairs
Day 1: EXODUS considers itself allies or "friends" with Firefly Island, and on neutral to positive terms with Fungaia.
Military
Rundown on how EXODUS handles military policy:
- Day 1: EXODUS currently has no major incentive to have a organized military. While Drowned were an issue, the threat mostly disappeared after a short wall was installed to prevent drowns from beaching onto the island. There were talks between the community what to do with the immigrants of Firefly Island, which numbered in 2-4. They decided to let them in as long as no raiding occurred. "A second healer and a miner would be nice."
