Bahamaland
Bahamaland is a faction on pxls.space. Originally founded on canvas 25 by Timmy with the name of "Navy Blue Grand Monarchy", this lattice changed it's presentation in canvas 27 to a Bahamas-inspired lattice before being disbanded. It later returned under the name Bahamaland on Canvas 34, going through a renaissance era.
The renaissance involved a transition from simple lattice work to actual artwork and a lattice, more benign behavior and many of the old leaders and members being overthrown, establishing the faction as a much more refined faction as a whole.
The faction's goal is to make art about the geography and culture of the Bahamas, as well as patterns.
History
Canvas 25
Humble Beginnings
It all started when a bunch of friends got bored at a sleepover and decided to play pxls.space. They created their very own faction called Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and started making a navy blue lattice (hence the name) with Timmy taking the role as Leader (or monarch in this case).
Territorial Tensions
As Navy Blue Grand Monarchy grew bigger and stronger, they started to become the enemy of the Yellow Faction and their leader, Flag Union.
The two factions would constantly fight for territory and engage in plenty of battles. Navy Blue Grand Monarchy eventually declared all out war with Yellow Faction. But Yellow faction was strong in numbers and was ultimately the victor. This however would not last forever.
The Fall of Yellow Faction
A high ranking member of Navy Blue Grand Monarchy known as CubicalThinker, known for his brutal sieges and attacks on other peoples art, decided to "join" Yellow Faction claiming "If you can't beat em, join em". This, however, was actually a plan to humiliate and virtually destroy Yellow faction from the inside out.
CubicalThinker conducted this by creating his own face right next to Yellow factions, making it look like the two where conjoined twins. He even made a third face that wasn't connected to the other two, but was distinctively Pea Green. Despite how awful this looked, Yellow faction couldn't do anything because technically CubicalThinker wasn't breaking any of their rules and was simply "adding" to their art. This infuriated Flag Union who was unable to stop this due to the rules he and his faction implamented.
After ranting, raging, and just being annoying, Flag Union was banned, not only from his own faction, but from pxls.space entirely. Chalkless, the new leader of Yellow Faction, decided to move the entire faction somewhere else on the canvas and allowed Navy Blue Grand Monarchy to have all their land. This was a cause for celebration for the entirety of Navy Blue and marked the very first war they have ever won in pxls.space.
Woke Cells Appeared
On the day the canvas was supposed to reset, the Woke Cells went to war with Navy Blue Grand Monarchy. The NBGM did not expect this attack, and was partially covered while they were all away from pxls. However, in the minutes leading up to the reset, they mounted a fierce counterattack and pushed back the Woke Cells as far as they could until the canvas reset.
Canvas 26
A Bad Start
When Navy Blue Grand Monarchy joined the next canvas, they chose a bad place to live. Side note, during this canvas, NBGM changed their traditional Navy Blue colored lattice to a brighter normal blue to make it easier to see on the canvas, due the background being black instead of white this time. The place NBGM chose to start off their lattice was in the bottom left corner of the canvas. This might have been fine, if it wasn't for a large faction creating a gigantic piece of art right above Navy Blue Grand Monarchy. Though this isn't the main reason NBGM essentially failed this canvas, since they could've just continued the lattice around the artwork.
Enemies, Old & New
Once Navy Blue Grand Monarchy started picking up pace and becoming marginally larger, they encountered a new problem. A faction known as Hungarian Lattice, led by Nmadyx and his apprentice Jeancar2, conquered almost all of the unclaimed territory next to the artwork before NBGM could. This led to Navy Blue Grand Monarchy raging war against Hungarian Lattice, only to be absolutely demolished in battle, due to the large number of people Hungaria had.
Most of the battles that took place where centered in the Crevasse, an area of unclaimed land in the massive artwork.
Eventually, after many battles, it was revealed that Jeancar2 was actually Flag Union the entire time! At the start of the new canvas, he managed to make an alt account and get back on to pxls. This insane reveal explained as to why Hungarian Lattice was so hell-bent on destroying NBGM, not only for more land and power, but for revenge.
NBGM's Artwork
Navy Blue Grand Monarchy decided to stop fighting and end the conflict with Hugarrian Lattice, with a peace treaty that allowed them to have one half of the crevasse and NBGM the other. This meant that NBGM couldn't really grow, since there was no land that wasn't already taken. So they decided to start making some of their own artwork in their claimed territory.
User bacononlegs1 and a few others decided to make a collection of national flags, including the Bahamian Flag. CubicalThinker, on the other hand, noticed that his old face he created on the lattice was horribly defaced and decided to initiate what he called "Full on Furious Face Faction Catastrophe", which resulted in him creating a giant face named Big Blue, that would become famous for its face-like beauty.
As the faction grew with bright colourful national flags and a giant blue face, most of the members grew bored as they couldn't grow the faction any further and were seemingly trapped in the corner of canvas 26 forever. So they started coming on Pxls less and less. This gave Hungarian Lattice an advantage at finally destroying them.
Nmadyx completely destroyed the Big Blue and replaced it with a diamond with its very own rainbow lattice. This proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, as they never had a chance to reclaim their territory because of the low number of people they had, from lack of intrest. This was the last canvas they went by Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, as they decided to change.

Organization Structure
Bahamaland uses intentionally puffed-up titles and names.
- Monarchs: co-leaders of the faction who share final authority in matters related to the Discord server and on-canvas operations.
- Marshals: Military officers with authority to coordinate movements on-canvas.
- Officers: Discord moderators with authority on the server and active members of the faction.
- Archivists: Volunteer officers who record griefs of Bahamaland projects.
Allies
Current
Former (reason)
- Proggity Prog OwO (ended by Progs; griefed by Progs shortly thereafter)
- Ireland faction (griefed by Ireland after heightened tensions; sparked war)
Conflicts
Bahamas Lattice era
Bahamaland era
- Irish-Bahamian War: fought between Bahamaland and the Irish faction. Tensions between the factions went back several days, because when Bahamaland sought to start their colony on a raindrop they attempted to build over a large Irish flag, believing it to be a solo project. However, they were unaware that the Irish flag was built by their ally the Irish Republic. They stopped invading after discovering this, but it nonetheless caused tensions despite their repairs to the flag and apologies. Tensions increased as another user was revealed to be an alt sent by the Irish faction to spy on Bahamaland, and things finally melted down when an officer of the Irish faction griefed Bahamaland and claimed it was a rogue member. As a result Bahamaland fought back with extreme severity, invading and destroying the large Irish flag but not destroying the cultural works of the Irish faction. They were griefed in minor ways many times during and after the war but these were suppressed easily. After the defeat of the Irish faction, it collapsed and split apart into the New Irish Republic and EU factions, both microfactions with a couple of members each. The EU faction, a splinter of the original Irish faction, attempted to cover a Bahamian sign with the EU symbol but were beaten back and a peace deal was finally reached with them. Bahamaland allowed the EU faction to build many national flags around their sign.
