== Overview ==
Bagelonia iswas the oldest Easternstate nationin onthe eastern half of the map. It iswas led by [[06Smg|06Smg05]]. Fiercely neutral, they have remained unaligned with either the Sylvian bloc or the Goomnestian bloc on the world stage. The Bagelonians arewere not a particularly industrious people--contrasting with the expansive public works initiatives of neighboring [[GoomnestGoomlandia]] and the [[Sylvian Union|Sylvia]], Bagelonia's development iswas almost entirely concentrated in the leader's estate with few works over the rest of Bagelonia.
 
== History ==
Bagelonia was founded at the beginning of the [[Founding Period]], only a few hours after the initial hosting of the server. Its economy and way of life at that time, and throughout most of server history, has remained the same, with substinence agriculture and small-scale ranching being the source of most economic activity.
 
=== Founding Period ===
Bagelonia was the target of the [[Montrosian Cultivation of the Bagelonian Swamplands]] on September __, 2018, where [[FlyingGMM]], declaring Bagelonia's farming methods too inefficient, incurred upon Bagelonia's sovereignty by filling in the swamplands in front of [[06Smg|06Smg05]]'s house against his will and seeding the new land with Montrose's preferred crop, potatoes.

=== Middle Period ===
Bagelonia was also a constituent of the [[Prosperity League]], and joined it when it was formed. It was the only nation in the Prosperity League not to join the [[Sylvian Union]].
Bagelonia participated in the [[Order of Icedale-Rhett Crusade]] on September 14th, 2019, with [[06Smg05]] firing at [[AbstractEgg]] when he was killed the first time. 06Smg05 was later killed by AbstractEgg's hundreds of tamed wolves.

Throughout the Repopulation Period, Bagelonia came into slight border conflicts with [[Goomlandia]], even going so far as to build a wall along their border. Historical maps also display Bagelonian claims extending into lands currently held by [[Goomlandia]], and, later, [[Goomnest]]. However, Bagelonia and Goomnest are currently friendly towards one another, and these disagreements are considered in the past by both parties.
 
=== Coalition Period ===
== Political Alignment & Culture ==
Bagelonia was also a constituent of the [[Prosperity League]], and joined it when it was formed. It was the only nationstate in the Prosperity League not to join the [[Sylvian Union]].
Bagelonia touts a vibrant blend of [[Western]] and [[Eastern Culture|Eastern]] culture. As an older nation, it has many sympathies with so-called "old-world" ideas espoused by those in the Western sphere, but as a nation firmly planted in the East their exposure to Eastern culture and close ties with Eastern nations gives them just as much sympathy toward their "new-world" counterparts. It has been analyzed as "geographically Eastern but culturally and historically Western."<ref>FlyingGMM, 2019</ref>
 
=== Repopulation Period ===
Contemporarily, Bagelonia's non-political nature has allowed them to never overtly align themselves with either bloc, but this does not keep both sides from claiming the eclectic nation as one of their own. The traditionalist West claims that Bagelonia's age and historical ties make Bagelonia a culturally Western state as compared to the newer Eastern nations, and cite the wall-building which took place on the Bagelonian border as evidence that Bagelonia considers themselves separate from the Easterners. In addition, they feel that Bagelonia recognizes the West as industrially, economically, and organizationally superior, and would align with the West if push came to shove.<ref>FlyingGMM, 2019</ref>

=== The Bagelonian Question ===
However, the Eastern nations claim that their ties are far closer in the here-and-now, and that Bagelonia has been subjected to imperialism by the West (see [[HUM Trading Bazaar]]) which the East, specifically Goomnest, decries vehemently. They believe their constant contact and trade has built a relationship which is stronger than that of the West's, and participates regularly in joint efforts with Bagelonia (such as the construction and maintenance of the Goomnestian [[Bageltown]], named in Bagelonia's honor) which suggests a far stronger working relationship.

=== Late Period ===
After their victory over Goomlandia, Bagelonia went relatively quiet. They joined the Mesa Convention, helping define the borders of the mesa nations, including newcomers such as [[Grove Tribe]] and [[New Mesa]]. Some time later, they joined forces with [[Richard]], forming the nation of [[Mesadonia]]. However, this project was eventually unsuccessful, and Mesadonia disbanded, with most of its lands going to [[Goomlandia]] and some to [[Fianna]]. The leadership of Mesadonia then formed [[Mesadonia2]] far off in the south.
 
== Geography ==
The terrain of Bagelonia iswas mostly made of a mesa plateau, with a small amount of swampland to the north and a river delta to the westsouthwest. However, all development in Bagelonia iswas concentrated in the aforementioned swampland, with the exception of a small, uninhabited "fronterfrontier outpost" in the river delta.<references />
