Lore[]
In the last few weeks of Season 3, Sailor_Schwartz joined the fledgling faction of Ennessy. Previously owned by the then banned aAnderionicA, and under control by KingJoniKitty. After the great Slimefun Deletion happened, Sailor_Schwartz started work on a large boat to carry the countries to safety. This boat was named the BithmArk. On the last day of Season 3, the population packed onto the boat and set sail to safer lands.
During the voyage, the server went down and the ship was flung into the Bermuda Triangle, breaking it apart but keeping the inhabitants alive.
On February 14th 2020, the new season started and the crew and passengers of the BithmArk were slowly let out of the Triangle onto Rhodesian soil over the next few weeks.
History[]
After it's founding, Rhodesia had a relatively peaceful existence, only being involved in small, verbal conflicts.
This all changed when on February 26nd when TheInquisition bought the country and Rhodesia became a protectorate.
The nation has been in three conflicts since that time, a skirmish against Cascadia during the grace period which ended in a Rhodesian victory and Cascadia getting disbanded as all their players broke server rules and were banned.
The second was a mainly verbal fight against the The Brotherhood Of Steel where Rhodesia and Britain criticised their trade and colony policy, until several Russian countries were worried that The Brotherhood's colonies were too close to their land. This resulted in a Russian win and the owner of the BOS (freed348) quitting the server forever.
The last one was quelling a one-man uprising in Malawi. The civil war lasted twenty minutes and resulted in a Rhodesian win, as they had help from TheInquisition.
Recently, long term rivals Bongolia have disbanded due to the disappearance of their government.
Major Builds[]
The country of Rhodesia prides itself on it's large scale builds. Some of which include:
The Knmock Knmevis, set to be the largest boat ever built on the server, beating out the previous record holder (the BithmArk) by being more than 200 blocks longer. It is currently WIP.
The Trans-African railway is the proposed longest railroad on the planet, cutting
through the African continent and going from NewBruia to Spawn. It is currently WIP
The Ender-Flag is the largest end station on Globia. It is a large Rhodesian flag with a massive storage system situated on it.
Cities and Geography[]
Rhodesia is mainly made up of dark oak forests and savanna plains. It has many rivers and the largest lake is Lake Malawi, situated in the north of the country and the largest mountain is Mount Nyangani in Zimbabwe.
The main cities are:
- NewBruia (capital)
- NovaMi
- NewFoundLand
Other notes[]
The country has three officially spoken languages: English, Finnish and toki pona.
The nation also holds quite a few world records, as seen above
Rhodesia is one of the largest advocates of trans rights on the server, however this has gotten in the way of relations between the country and Australia (S4) as both nations have banned travel and trade due to disagreements over the matter
Japanese Unification[]
On March 26th, 2020, Sailor Schwartz and SlashTNT entered negotions for a unification of the two countries into JapanoRhodesia.
