Zuiderland

The Syndicalist Union of Zuiderland was a nation founded in Solace World 2 and was situated in the southwest Pacific Ocean area; mainly southeastern Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. It has a population of 3 active players, and is quite possibly the wealthiest country on the server thanks to the Zuidergilde company.

Beginnings of Zuiderland
Zuiderland was founded on January 4th, 2020, originally with the name of the United Peoples of Zuidersland. The two founding members were The_Ohioan (Mich) and agnius06. Initially they claimed a large swath of land which included the majority of the southeastern portion of Australia and New Zealand's North Island, Aotearea.

On the launch of the world — which was at 10:00 PM EST, Mich spawned somewhere in southeast Asia from a warp in spawn, most likely Cambodia and boated from there; on his way there, he looted various villages and jungle temples to get himself started. He set up a temporary wooden shack near where the city of Sydney exists in real life, which would be the beginning of what would become the city of Janszoonstad. On the other hand; when agnius06 first logged on early the next day, he pursued the North Island of New Zealand, where he would eventually set up at on top of some sort of mountain. For the next few days Mich and agnius06 began grinding for materials and better gear, with this process being accelerated by them being able to loot multiple end cities just under two days after the initial launch of the world.

On January 7th, 2020 several players including Tomad, PurpleHeart_(?), and Sikorskiii RDMed and raided Mich and his base in Australia while he was online, looting all of his non-valuable items and killing him several times in the process. There was speculation that the Commonwealth of America and/or the Sultinate of Gibraltar would declare war on Zuiderland, although this would only partially come into fruition well over a month later.

After the raid, Mich began brainstorming idea on construction of his city. On January 10th, he began construction on Janszoonstad, which was called Sydney during this time; he finished terraforming the terrain around where he wanted to build and started building a road out of white terracotta, dark oak wood, and brick. Over the next week he also built a few buildings that would later be repurposed as embassies and began building a red terracotta and quartz apartment building which would unfortunately never be finished.
