It was shortly followed by Offaly (then known as Catalonia) and the Cacti Empire. A creeper exploded during construction of the nation and snowspeeder12 coined the term of Creeperism, a movement where creepers suicide bomb into players in an attempt to delay progress.

Candain would move in due to not like their location and may or may not have been related to when DolphOfGreen took down a few trees near their house to get saplings for a tree farm in the Cacti Empire. thecoolcat719 would build a border wall with the nation to "clearly mark borders" and would build a watch tower.
