	~~===~~ '''~~Scatterstate~~''~~' ===~~
	A scatterstate is a nation with cities scattered into all 7 continents, forming enclaves comparable to the Holy Roman Empire, and sometimes in the middle of people's territories.

The lifespan of this colonist may also be shortlived, and they may become inactive a short few days later. The term was coined by Tailz8003.
