Glorious Carnation
A world 1 commune consisting of around 15-20ish people, set up in a savanna biome. This group as been steadfast in carving a place in the world for them and are very defensive about their security. While quite isolationist in nature, this nation does not have a history of murdering or raiding against outsiders. Aside from one or two explorers, Carnation has searched and expanded little beyond their initial borders. |

History
The history of Carnation begins at the very beginning of the Trial 2. What would become Glorious Carnation was once two seperate groups, fleeing from the desolate desert of spawn. One group was guided by their conscience, the other guided primarily by a mute and deafened player, jokingly refered to as the "Mute Messiah". Once having fleed from spawn, arriving at the savannah that would become their home, the two nomad groups found each other, and merged into the group that would become Carnation.
Initally setting up in a rudimentuary skybase, the group managed to maintain their high numbers by hunting local sheep within the area, and creating beds in order to ground themselves to the land. The primary ways the group fed themselves was through mass hunting, rudimentary farming and importantly "Reincarnation", the act of killing oneself to reset hunger and health. This is the origin of the name Carnation, Rein(carnation).
Aside from moving the inital skybase to be above the sea, to avoid excessive mobs during mornings, until session 1-3 this skybase was the primary hub of activity for the nation. However in session 3 they had moved entirely to a stonebrick hub with a large quarry beneath it. This hub design was primarily inspired by the conceptual image (by one of their members) below.
Until about session 3-4 Carnation had been in a blindspot of the explorers and mappers of the world, however, with the beginning of session 4, they had been put on a map, and their anonymity was now gone, and they began to quickly prepare for the consequences of this...
Economy
Carnation has a relatively good economic situation, with a steady supply of food from the farmers, and a good supply of building materials and ore from the miners and the quarry beneath their base.
The economy is managed, almost entirely by vibes. Each class does their job to the best of their ability, and resources that are needed are discussed and managed accordingly.
Every Citizen is given free access to healing and food.
Government
Carnation operates on a consensus model of governent. All citizens have a seat at the Council, which meets every night, or when an emergency meeting is called. Any citizen can bring an issue to the council for debate, with decisions generally requiring the consent of all assembled. Proposals have been made to establish a clear leadership or formal voting process, but none have received consensus.
Foreign affairs
Carnation is an Isolationist nation, mostly keeping to themselves and being distrustful of the outside world. Carnation has had diplomats from the Dwarves and Nautilus, but no treaties or agreements have been made with them as of session 4.
Military
Carnation does not have a formal military, and only has 2~ guardmens used for mob defence, however all Carnatians are equiped with full iron armour and weapons at all times, functioning as a milita.
Culture
Carnation has a strong culture of collective living and spirited debate. The shared struggles of its earliest founders manifest in a sense of comradery and collective identity. Stemming from its early days as a small skybase with limited beds, citizens live together in a single barracks rather than in individual homes. Each night, the whole community gathers together in the Council Chamber to discuss the issues of the day and make decisions for the group, as they once did in the skybase's central room.
Citizens also hold a strong sense of Carnatian Exceptionalism, exemplified in the folk saying, "Glorious Carnation is the Best Location".
