The History of Spam, Lardyland, Meat, and other regions

Chapter I: Primordial Times

On June 11th, 2016, the first founder of Spam was Spammystan. Later, Spam was refounded under Unifism. Due to this period's age, very little is known about it.
To quote Captain lard (aka Cappy): "From what we can tell, they were a lot more rule-based, a lot less extreme, and a lot less popular."
This is likely true, as seen by a dispatch by Spammystan asking people to use spoilers when spamming long posts. Additionally, it's worth noting that factbooks from this time still reflect more-or-less modern Spammy culture, which I think is interesting.

Chapter II: Glorious Anarchy

Spam refounded again, this time under Spam founder. This refound is notable because the first true natives appeared at this time, most notably Spammyspamspamifiedspam (Spammy). Spam entered a phase of near-total anarchy, with no rules, officers who got powers without much reason, and a general attitude of chaos for chaos's sake. This period only lasted about a month until Spam founder CTE'd, which caused a drastic change within Spam.

Chapter III: Panic

(Side note: Pinochet executionists, aka Pinny, joined NationStates at this time.) At the beginning of 2018, Spam Founder CTE'd. While you may think refounding was the obvious next step, it took considerable effort. (Speculation: it seems that a large portion of Spam did not wish to refound, preferring to stay in the founderless Spam.) This was a severe problem, as The Black Hawks were a notorious raiding group at this time and were sure to seize this opportunity. Anyways, over ten days, and with the help of fellow native Captain spam and other natives, Pinny became the Delegate of Spam, and this group of natives managed to kick everyone out of Spam. Then, Captain spam refounded Spam, and the panic was over.

Chapter IV: Spam's Golden Age

From January to March of 2018, Spam experienced its Golden Age. Many prominent members joined, most notably Spam spam spam, Snowmiser, and Lardlardlardlardlardlard (who I will call Lardx6 for the sake of convenience). The Articles of Spammy Powder were created at this time, being the constitution of the region. This document would be used and amended for years as the supreme law of Spam and Lardyland, so it's worth briefly explaining how the government worked.

This government provided a basic framework for growth and prosperity, which occurred almost immediately. This system was the perfect combination of serious government and chaotic Spammy culture. Sophisticated enough to work efficiently but still free enough to have fun with. Unsurprisingly, this era saw the creation of many eternal traditions of Spam, including joke puppets and embassy spamming. Spam increased so quickly that it impressed many observers.

But, all Golden Ages end, and unfortunately, this one ended troublingly.

Chapter V: The Invasion

The mods deleted Captain Spam after he used red mod text in a forum post. Immediately after this happened, the Pacific invaded. The Pacific invaded because Spam had garnered a bad reputation that persists to this day, that reputation being that Spam was just trolls and spammers, nothing more. Over the next week, the Pacific slowly and painfully killed the region, as it took time to kick all members out.

It was at this time that Captain lard was created and founded Lardyland. There were a handful of backup regions, so no one initially knew what to do.

Chapter VI: Now What?

Everyone in Spam was split on what to do next. Plans were drafted on settling multiple backup regions, retaking Spam, and many more. Eventually, though, the community settled in Lardyland around August 22nd, 2018, when Spam became officially dead, and Lardyland was created in earnest. The old government was quickly reinstated, and it wasn't long before everything got back up and running. Spam spam spam became the first Vice Delegate of Lardyland, and the phoenix rose from the ashes.

Chapter VII: Lardyland Ascendant

Critical natives at the beginning of Lardyland include Heropeas mid region and Spaceanian lard, the latter of which created a long-running news service. A minor development occurred when it was revealed that Marilyn manson freaks, an anti-spammer with no sense of humor, attempted to convince all of Lardyland's embassies to close the embassies, with little general success.

Lardyland attempted to raid the region Actually nothing (AN), which was a small region that had died recently. The raid was unsuccessful despite the region being dead (somehow). This was a minor event, but AN would later have significant relevance within Lardyland as part of a big controversy/war. Meanwhile, Adylica first posted around this time.

Adylica was the founder of Adylicatpeel EMPIRE (see my history of it for more). The only thing worth saying right now is that he immediately became unpopular after claiming to be the rightful owner of Spam (still under Pacifican control).

Over time, one development was that politics within the region became taboo to discuss seriously because the region believed that embassies were first and foremost and everything else was a lower priority. This might not sound crazy, but it would cause issues later on since people became unnerved by talking about simple regional problems, leading to bizarre and strained communication.

Lardyland then began to focus on its international standing. Lardyland allied with The United Empires of Carson (UEC) after its leader, Carstantinopipal (Carson), became good friends with Cappy and Pinny. Lardyland then began a serious (although informal) alliance with the Union of Liberal Nations (ULN), the International League of Nations (ILN), and the aforementioned Adylicatpeel EMPIRE (AE). This was mainly because Adylica was trying to cobble together a sort of anti-raider mega-group, but it didn't go anywhere. After Adylica's ambitions were squashed, Lardyland decided to maintain its alliances anyways. Lardyland's alliances were important, especially regarding the ULN.

A notable event occurred during an election for Vice Delegate (VD). Adylica attempted to run for it, but he immediately became unpopular after vowing to close embassies with the UEC, who he disapproved of after Carson made fun of him during AE's revolt. This backfired immensely, and Lardyland mocked him mercilessly after he further stated he would try to get the closure passed through Spammy Council if elected. Then, in a sudden twist of events, Pinny barred Adylica from running.

"Evidence has come up to suggest that there is more to this Adylica guy then he lets on." -Pinochet executionists

You see, adjacent to this, things in AE were getting heated and spilled into Lardyland. In summary, Adylica was accused by multiple people in AE (most notably Westunia) of being a dictator, and Adylica banned Westunia. This caused Westunia to decide to be the whistleblower on a supposed plot to coup Lardyland by Adylica. Westunia claimed that Adylica was running for VD to progress this coup. Adylica wanted to coup Lardyland because they sided with Carson when Adylica argued with him. It's worth noting that Pinny claimed to have seen "On your own (AE's) RMB, you talk about how you want to start taking over the region (Lardyland)," though because AE's RMB is gone, I have no way to check what this evidence was. (In retrospect, Adylica's later actions strongly support that this coup plot was real, because he would later be infamous for petty drama. He was not above holding massive grudges over incidents like small arguments.)

This caused immense arguing between Cappy, Pinny, Adylica, Westunia, and Carson. Lardx6 entered the discussion and had to threaten RMB bans to get everyone to stop. The heated phase of the conflict ended as a result. (It's worth noting that 1: Adylica was very unlikely to win due to controversial statements about embassies, and 2: Cappy and Pinny were active enough to where even if Adylica's coup worked as planned, it would be reversed very quickly.)

Adylica then began a pattern that continued over the next several years. Anytime Lardyland did something he didn't like, he'd threaten to close embassies. He'd usually begin closures, maybe let them get close to closing, but inevitably he'd cancel it and half-apologize for the closure. He did this thinking that because Lardyland loved embassies so much, they'd bend to his will, but 95% of the time, nothing happened since Lardyland saw him as annoying.

I highlight this drama because it eventually led to an actual war!!! But seriously, Adylica was a significant nuisance for many years, so his shenanigans are worth noting whenever they pop up. Around here is when AE collapsed and was replaced by the Empire of United Free Nations (UFN).

Chapter VIII: The Great Lily War

Lardyland tried putting significant effort into launching a formal military with the help of Lardx6 and Sung Il Meat. Meanwhile, the Great Lily War began. I have gone into detail about the war in my UFN history, but in summary, here's what matters for Lardyland.

Adylica ran for VD (again). His campaign was not going so well, so he tried buying votes from people. This led to a deal with Pinny where Adylica would raid the region Actually Nothing (AN) for his vote. Pinny did this as a joke and reportedly didn't intend to vote for Adylica. After the UFN raid, a person from Lily approached Westunia and other Lardyland people, and they cobbled together a coalition to re-raid AN. The Lily/Lardyland forces and the UFN forces (as well as the Spear Danes who entered later) all traded the region over roughly two weeks. Eventually, the person from Lily was revealed to be fake. This led to a chain reaction, during which Adylica accused the fake Lily guy of being Westunia. Adylica was, however, unable to provide any specific evidence to back up his claim. Westunia became fed up and left Lardyland, retiring from NS after Adylica and his goons followed him from region to region and continued harassing him for months.

Most of Lardyland was unaware of the war, as only a handful of WAs were involved. Most notably Spam Spam Spam disapproved of the entire operation.

In the meantime, Lardx6 developed a negative reputation for being rude. He often doled out RMB bans to multiple people for as long as two weeks, which became a minor controversy. Cappy began joke ejecting some people, which annoyed some people, and many people left. Lardyland started a decline due to the extended period of drama.

What did not help was Adylica demanding that Lardyland close embassies, which caused yet more drama. What ESPECIALLY did not help was Lardyland's extremely controversial "raid" on The Embassy which followed.

The nature of the "raid" is strange. Cappy viewed The Embassy as a direct threat to them as the leader in embassies, so when Lone Wolves United raided them, Cappy sent a puppet to help them. This directly implicated Lardyland in the raid and their role in it was substantially inflated, leading to a massive international backlash.

Chapter IX: Rising Tension & The Ballpit Scandal

Following the Embassy "raid," Lardyland entered a minor paranoia or raids. (Side note, I joined NS at this time in the ULN and later moved to Lardyland)

After Lardyland hit 1000 Embassies, the region began a push to make as many embassies as possible, myself included. I became an embassy officer and started making embassies in hour-long bursts. I eventually rose through the ranks to become VD in October 2018.

Anyways, Ballpit2 (Ballpit) joined around this time. He claimed to be an anti-pacific soldier, which is essential for later. Ballpit's seriousness and lack of a sense of humor led to conflict due to him not really "getting" Lardyland. However, his supposed talent caught Pinny's attention, so he became the RMB Moderator. This was unpopular since Ballpit immediately began banning joke puppet nations and suppressing some free speech. While most people called for his removal, Pinny supported him for unknown reasons, so he stayed in power. This led to conflict where Ballpit cracked down on most joke posts within Lardyland and could do so because Pinny liked him.

This conflict led to quite literally everyone (including Cappy) hating Ballpit except Pinny, and Pinny was enough for Ballpit to stay in power. His mass suppression reached such a high level that people made a game out of what would and wouldn't get suppressed, and Ballpit would suppress all posts critical of him. Over the next few weeks, the tension escalated to a boiling point. All it would take was one single event to cause an explosion.

On one fateful day, the next election for VD was held. The two leading candidates were Ballpit and All banners quest, a puppet of Carson. All Banners Quest (Banner) won by a significant number of votes (8 or 9 out of about 20). However, for some reason, Pinny decided that what was needed was another round of voting between just the two candidates, excluding the other couple who got one vote or no votes at all. This caused massive outrage against him and Ballpit. Most people saw this as Pinochet being unfair in favor of Ballpit because they were allies. Pinny was already beginning to get some flak for turning a blind eye to Ballpit's shenanigans, but now he was also caught up in the drama. A minor group of people even demanded he resign as Delegate and be replaced by someone else.

Carson appeared and announced that he was withdrawing embassies with Lardyland due entirely to Ballpit and the election. Carson had expressed his disapproval of Ballpit many times before (hence him running for VD to try and fix things), but his opinions weren't enough to change anything. He decided that Ballpit's influence over Lardyland was enough to where he no longer wished to associate with the region. This was huge as the UEC was Lardyland's oldest ally.

Pinny went on damage control, claiming that there was puppet voting in the election, which was why he wanted a redo. However, there's no way to verify or debunk this due to the nature of puppet voting on NS. This was received poorly, with people pointing out that most 100% real nations voted for Banner even if puppet voting occurred.

I and a few other fed-up nations began organizing a trial to be set against Ballpit for his actions. One thing I didn't mention was that he attempted to get me deleted by the mods by falsely claiming I had violated site rules because I disagreed with his actions. This incident was the cornerstone of the trial. The trial gained traction, and after seeing how everyone, including Cappy and Carson, was against him and that his ally Pinny was occupied, Ballpit left Lardyland.

Ballpit's departure led to Carson making peace, as this was what he wanted. Ballpit then began using his connections within various regions to try and close as many embassies with Lardyland as possible. Ballpit also revealed that he was an NPO spy the entire time, whose goal was to tear Lardyland apart from the inside. Pinny got much hate for this because the general public perception was that Ballpit played him like a fiddle.

After the scandal, relations with the UEC were restored, Pinny remained Delegate, no RMB mods were ever appointed again, and Lardyland culture and memes were restored. Ballpit's effects on the region were nullified immediately after he left.

Chapter X: Free Again

After the Ballpit drama, Adylica and the UFN appeared again and behaved as they had previously. I campaigned hard for Lardyland to take an aggressive stance against the UFN. Still, after seeing how Lardyland wouldn't do anything to stop Adylica and the UFN's annoying actions, I decided to leave since the UFN was that bad at this time. Other than that, nothing of importance happened for a while. There was a long period of peace and expansion. Greater Lardyland was formed at this time.

Greater Lardyland was a group of many regions with Lardyland as its leader. Lardyland's military conquests and expansion were significant, but for this history, what is most important is the UFN. The UFN had made a deal with Lardyland, where they would become a Lardy Protectorate (semi-independent). This is important for later. (Side note: the reason the UFN willingly became a protectorate was to leech activity/users off Lardyland) Anyways, the UFN's drama reached Lardyland yet again.

At this time, the UFN had been undergoing a series of conflicts. What matters for this history is that it was raided by the nations Penman and Suggly. After the raid, they fled to Lardyland, and Adylica sought revenge. What further escalated the conflict was that after joining lardyland, the two raiders claimed that since the UFN was a protectorate of Lardyland, they still held some control over it. They were mainly memeing and not trying to do anything in particular. Adylica caused a significant argument after pursuing the raiders and attacking them. The debate eventually ended after Cappy and Pinny stepped in.

Right after this, another event occurred which was significant. Lardyland opened embassies with The Big Brotherhood (TBB). TBB was a region founded and explicitly formed to attack Carson of the UEC. See, its members went to the same school as him, and their goal was to be as toxic as possible to get the school's IP banned so Carson couldn't play. Carson demanded that Lardyland close their embassy with TBB, but they refused due to their unflexible embassy policy. Carson engaged in debate with some Lardyland people, then got mad after being told to debate elsewhere. He argued that their tolerance of free speech should extend to arguments. After the discussion, a low-level embassy officer closed the TBB embassy, but Carson still cut ties with Lardyland. This proved to be a poor decision on Carson's part since the UEC public liked Lardyland very much. Many refused to move their Lardyland puppets out of Lardyland (as was mandated by Carson), which led to many bans; even the UEC's president was banned after he refused to move his Lardyland puppet out. Nevertheless, UEC-Lardyland relations ended.

Chapter XI: Isolation

Lardyland entered a period of international isolation. The UFN officially became independent from Lardyland following some internal debate. While this period didn't last very long, it's worth noting since it was a rare pause between other regions' drama.

Chapter XII: Return of the Storm

To reduce tension and solve the conflicts, Carson drafted the Lardyland-UEC Compact, successfully restoring pre-debate relations. Shortly after, Adylica appeared once again.

In the UFN, a court case occurred between Sir wallworth and Adylica. I go into detail about this in my UFN history, but what's important for this history is that Spammy Court was the court chosen to facilitate the trial. The trial was seemingly going in Wallworth's favor, and Adylica did some things that amounted to pleading guilty to the charges against him but not caring if a verdict was reached. Shortly afterward, and for unknown reasons, Pinny dissolved Spammy Court entirely.

I bring this up because Pinochet permanently destroyed Spammy Court over this. Some people were upset and viewed its dismantling as bizarre and occurring without reason. Pinny said that it was ineffective but didn't substantiate that claim. (Some people have claimed that Adylica pressured Pinny into closing it. I'm 50/50 as to whether that's what happened.) The mystery behind Spammy Court's closure would never be fully answered.

After this came some good news, though. After the leaders of both regions signed a pact, Lardyland and the ULN entered an alliance. This, however, came right before some huge news.

Chapter XIII: Meat

Cappy was about to be very inactive, so a decision was made to transfer regions to Meat, founded around July 25th, 2019. This region had Pinny as the founder and was just Lardyland's replacement until Cappy could be active again. The transition went smoothly, and The metal cap became the first Delegate of Meat. This, of course, meant that Lardyland became mostly dead at this time.

In Meat, things were going pretty smoothly for a surprisingly long time. The communist union of b became the next Delegate, followed by Spammy due to his immense popularity. (He stayed in Lardyland until now) Spammy would end up being the Delegate for the rest of Meat's history as the primary region of Spam/Lardyland.

Unfortunately, Meat's RMB has been mostly lost to time due to refoundings, so little is known about it. What is known is that it went without much drama at all during the roughly five months of its existence.

Meat ended after an exciting agreement between Pinny, Spaceania of the ULN, and several other nations. This agreement was a merger between the ULN and Lardyland, called the Union of Lardy Nations. This merger went through, so Meat dissolved and was replaced by the merger around March 16th, 2020.

Chapter XIV: The Union of Lardy Nations

Pinny became the region's founder, Space became Delegate, and elections were held for the rest of the positions. I decided to join and participate. Other noteworthy people included founding member Malumynumen (Mal) and New Domais (Dom). The region immediately, however, ran into conflict with Adylica since he didn't like me being there. After I won the election for Prime Minister (third in command after Delegate & Founder), this escalated.

Dom and I worked together to get the government to take an aggressive stance against Adylica. Adylica had sent the region an "ultimatum," demanding the region be shut down. Dom and I created an official response to the demands, which was approved and sent out.

However, this course of action was protested, mainly by Space. He was an extreme supporter of Adylica (the two were friends who even played video games together), and this situation created conflict combined with Pinny's inactivity. Unfortunately, the precarious nature of this situation was thrown out of balance by what happened next.

At this point, Mal became incredibly disgruntled, his anger beginning shortly after the merger. He had been promised a very significant office/job or something of that nature, and when he didn't get it, he left. As a founding member and nation in good standing within the region, he convinced many government members to go with him. Additionally, Spaceania resigned as Delegate since he felt he was causing conflict within the government. This ended up leaving Pinny as founder and me as Prime Minister, with few other officials left. I tried getting everything together, including drafting an emergency powers bill, but Pinny was inactive and didn't respond quickly enough to prevent a total regional collapse. People rapidly started questioning what was going on and started leaving. Seeing that Pinny wouldn't try to stop the collapse, I also left. After just shy of a month, the merger died around April 8th, 2020.

After this, Cappy was active again, so the Lardy community decided to go back to Lardyland and leave Meat behind.

Chapter XV: Return to Lardyland

Following the Union of Lardy Nations, Lardyland was restored and entered an extended period of tranquility, calm, and mild inactivity. On July 16th, 2020, Lardyland would be featured; however, only a few days later, Lardyland would be severely raided by the Grey Wardens because Lardyland had the Fascist tag on. (They had all tags on at this time) Other minor raids occurred in the past but only lasted a few days at most. However, this raid lasted about a week because Cappy had CTE'd. Eventually, he returned, but the region remained scarred afterward, remaining half-inactive for months.

Chapter XVI: Casual Chaos

Anyways, following the devastating raid, Lardyland entered a time of what I call casual chaos. The old government system, while not abolished, was thrown aside in favor of a couple of officers being made to be in charge. This system is very similar to the old anarchic style of Spam instead of the semi-formal governments of Lardyland.

This state of casual chaos lasted a few months. The region was not super big or active, but it was still Spam.

Chapter XVII: Return to Form

After a few months, Pinny returned Lardyland to its old government with a few minor changes.

1: There were now three ministers (of Foreign Affairs, Culture, and the Interior)
2: Spammy Council was simplified into a five-member body

Additionally, Lardyland began a Chess tournament to improve regional activity and started passing laws. While the chess tournament was canceled partway through due to significant cheating, the administration side of things was going well. Lardyland also began serious efforts to improve its regional image abroad.

Chapter XVIII: A Schism

After a while, though, a new conflict emerged. This conflict began due to the government's campaign to improve Lardyland's image. The government received feedback from various members of the international community, which helped determine the correct path to be on. There was just one problem. This proposed path was something that Pinochet was entirely against. Since Pinochet wielded ultimate power and authority, this path was out of the question. It wasn't going to happen.

You see, three leading solutions were suggested, which the government hoped to implement.
1: Remove fascist embassies
2: Remove fascist culture from Lardyland itself
3: Remove Pinochet Executionists as WA Delegate due to his name

The government under the leadership of Novey frankia enacted a solution to issue 2, that being a statement denouncing fascism and stating that fascism does not exist in Lardyland (which is true). However, Pinochet and Cappy had maintained in the past and still did maintain a strong stance on embassies. None of them could close. They also obviously didn't want Pino removed. This meant serious action couldn't be taken to improve Lardyland's image.

As a result, action was taken in the Spammy Council.

I decided to head a charge to remove Pinochet as Delegate of Lardyland using a vote in Spammy Council. After proposing this to the council, fellow council member Trajan national backed me up. At this time, the other members were Pino and Frankia. Frankia abstained. At first, this seemed to mean that the proposal had passed. (2 Yes, 1 No, 1 Abstain), but after this, both Pino and Cappy pulled out many political shenanigans, eventually leading to the proposal's death through undemocratic means.

First, Pino pulled in Cappy to vote on the proposal. Technically he also was a council member, though, in practice, it was unprecedented for him to vote. He had established earlier that he was above the council. Second, he didn't vote. He didn't abstain; he just said he needed time to think but did nothing. This stalling was the main thing that doomed the proposal since the vote couldn't be completed with it taking place. Third, former council member Spaceania was still in the Discord chat where the debate occurred. He was not removed since he was on Pino's side. Space proceeded to leak information about the proposal (with heaps of false information to put a spin on it) and even went as far as to bring Adylica into the region and Discord so he could disrupt the proceedings. Lastly, Pinochet illegally started the next elections early, hoping that Trajan and I would be voted out of office and removed from Spammy Council that way.

With all these shenanigans going on, it reminded me very much of the old days of Ballpit, and it was even worse since now Pino, Space, and Cappy were openly violating the law of the region for their gain. Additionally, I heard rumors that a large interregional group was about to take action against Lardyland using force. With both of these issues in mind, I decided to leave Lardyland.

As it turned out, the rumors I heard were correct.

Chapter XIX: Deletion

After Spaceania's earlier actions, news of the proposal to remove Pinochet hit the international community. This sent two signals. First, Lardyland was ruled by a dictator who couldn't be removed. Second, Lardyland was weak and vulnerable to attack. This second point was only made worse by what happened not long afterward.

On an ordinary day, Captain Lard was being himself in the RMB when he was suddenly deleted. The mods then stated he had made an obscene post, but due to the post being erased, we can't say how "obscene" it may or may not have been due to the post being erased. Either way, Lardyland was now founderless.

However, Pinochet was also deleted quickly after another strange turn of events. This was because he had appealed to the mods to delete all of Lardyland permanently to prevent raiders from seizing it. This led to nothing but him being deleted.

(Side note: Cappy and Pino being deleted was very much a blessing in disguise. As I've outlined throughout this history, many of Lardyland's issues have stemmed from one of them, especially Pinny. Now that they were gone, new, more competent people could take the reins.)

However, the obvious issues had to be dealt with before any new leadership could be found. First and foremost, Lardyland was locked down to prevent raiders from entering. Next, a second region, Spammystan, was created as the new region with Spams as founder. (At this time, Spams's identity is unknown.)

A brief drama emerged when the nation left in charge of Lardyland, Bruhgundy, closed all the embassies and appeared to have been an NPO spy. However, he eventually turned out to be memeing and was a Lardyland member who closed the embassies as part of a plan to eliminate the fascist ones.

After this, Lardyland was refounded. Against all odds, Spams managed to grab it, and now Lardyland is in the hands of Lardyland itself. Spammystan is still occupied, but Lardyland is back in operation, with Spaceania as Delegate.

Chapter XX: Stability

Lardyland became stable, although actual reconstruction did not take place. In an unexpected turn of events, Spaceania became the Delegate in the absence of other well-known individuals who were interested. However, Space has historically been known to go inactive anytime he assumed a powerful office, and this time was no exception. Under his non-existent rule, Lardyland became dead.

Spaceania eventually left, which boosted activity considerably. North Cromch took over as the delegate for a while, but the region remained a shadow of its former self. For a long time, no one was motivated enough to revive the region, so it remained fairly inactive.

Chapter XXI: Second Wind and Decline

In early June 2024, Lardyland suddenly doubled in size, going from 20 to 40 nations. This was not an invasion, rather, this was an attempt to boost activity and revive the region, an attempt that worked. Many of these nations were puppets, but many seemed to be distinct individuals, and the RMB became very lively. Mother knows best state took charge and shepherded Lardyland back into its earlier, more chaotic and energetic state. They also renewed embassy building, and RMB posts from embassy regions contributed to the reinvigoration of Lardyland. This nation also wrote a new Constitution, which used old phrases like "spammy powder" and "Spammy Court", meaning that they were most likely an old nation using a new account. In fact, they were probably Pinochet or Captain Lard, because they were deleted by the mods just a month after joining Lardyland.

As for the new constitution, Mother joked in the title that "nobody will obey" the document, and indeed, it has served as more of a guide for the region. I won't break down every detail, but essentially, the new Constitution lays out these ideas:

1: Lardyland's redirection to the old ways (Ex: mass embassy building, the promotion of activity through polls/factbooks/dispatches/diplomacy/RMB/etc)

2: Creating new offices (Ex: Lardeputy, a position designed to carry out Lardyland's redirection)

3: Reviving the concept of Spammy Court and a military (though these are less actual institutions and more names to slap on some nations for officer titles)

After Mother's deletion, Tub of lard became the new Delegate, and the region generally followed these new guidelines. Before long, however, Tub of Lard CTEd and North Cromch became Delegate again. Under this new regime, things remained relatively stable, with the region gaining the "casual chaos" energy of old times.

Unfortunately, this resurgence didn't last. By the summer's end, the region plummeted back down to 20 nations, and inactivity returned. A year later, no attempts at another revival have manifested. The region is still kicking for now, but its days certainly appear numbered.

This is where the story ends, for now at least. Thanks for reading; this has been KOTG's History of Spam/Lardyland/Meat/etc
