Bahamaland
Bahamaland is a faction on pxls.space. The faction's goal is to make art about the geography and culture of the Bahamas, as well as patterns.
Originally founded on canvas 25 by Timmy with the name "Navy Blue Grand Monarchy", this group changed its presentation on 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 latticework 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.

Canvas 27
Having rebranded itself as Bahamas Lattice, the faction started on the inside edge of the central black circle on Canvas 27. However, it soon found itself hobbled as it had started on the territory of a huge "Casino Wheel" template that spanned the entire inside edge of the circle, and their route of expansion north was blocked by a "pedobear" template being built by cub and other Spurdos. With nowhere else to turn, Bahamas Lattice launched simultaneous incursions into the Pedobear template and Casino Wheel territory.
While the attack was initially successful, the builders of the Casino Wheel counterattacked at the same time that Spurdo reinforcements began rebuilding the pedobear. The war was discussed widely in Pxls chat, bringing it to the attention of several old enemies of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, who joined forces with the Casino Wheel and Spurdos. Soon, Bahamas Lattice was completely enveloped. However, pro-war sentiments continued running high, resulting in a brutally persistent blue voiding campaign against the pedobear (whose builders comprised much of the counterattacking bloc) after the war. Later, Bahamas Lattice restarted more towards the center of the circle.
It made fairly rapid expansions, cementing itself as the biggest lattice within the circle. Following a major battle between the German and French factions within the circle, France was defeated, and moved their artwork south, directly on top of Bahamas Lattice territory, smothering its size and reducing it to only scattered bits of lattice. Soon, Blue Lattice would invade from the west, gradually gobbling up BahamL territory until a desperate peace treaty was agreed upon. However, it was soon violated, and Blue Lattice faced only minimal resistance as they invaded in tandem with France and Germany's opportunistic invasions of Bahamian territory. At the end of the canvas, no Bahamas Lattice remained.
Canvas 28
Following the series of defeats on Canvas 27, interest in Pxls had waned past the point of no return. A Bahamas Lattice was attempted on the westernmost fringes of Canvas 28, but with only one placer, it died out quickly, starting a 6-canvas hiatus from Pxls.

Due to the small size of the canvas, Bahamaland rested on Canvas 39.

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.
