1: Madagascar
Vihreaa
Oh Madagascar, how we weep for your departure from this world. There are many power rankers who rejoiced at the notion of your collapse, a stance which sickens me to my core. From the very beginning, Madagascar exceeded expectations, successfully achieving feats that were thought to be unheard of, especially from the civilization that ranked as far down as 49 in part 0. Contrary to the public’s belief, you went on to best Oman, gaining colonial acquisitions in the Middle East. For thousands of years, not one empire dared set foot on the Madagascarian island, it’s territory your undisputed domain. It would be from here that you would spread your influence across the world, influencing global politics through your cultural peacekeepers. Madagascar was a land of great culture, a society that never sought the comforts of technology, but found comfort in the simple cycle of daily life. Historians will view Madagascar as a great refuge of ancient life, while other empires like Zimbabwe and The Iroquois sacrificed everything to acquire more advanced weaponry to fight their enemies, Madagascar prioritized their humanity, and retained it to the end. To think, it would not be the cumbersome giant in Zimbabwe that would topple their great society, but the ever reaching grasp of Uruguay choked out their flame of life. I, many people in the sub, and Madagascarians alike weep at the fate of their people, as it is inevitable that this island that was once a bastion of humanity will become just another weapon for the superpowers to exploit and corrupt. I weep for this permanent loss to humanity, and shudder at the thought as the purity of humanity has become that much less so.
