'''''thebestLung''''' was originally passed on the mantle of nation leadership on '''January 5th, 2026'''. At that time, the nation was considerably smaller, with around '''300 residents''' and '''1300 chunks''' of land distributed between 14 towns. The nation was originally named Sitka, after much deliberation with staff (although this claim would later be disputed). The majority of the resident count came from the town of Tomorrowland, which was the largest town on the server at that moment. This accolade brought the nation significant traffic and allowed for rapid growth. The majority of the expansion came about through strategic acquisitions and partnerships formed by '''''thebestLung'''''. The nation formed a chain of towns deep into the Alaskan region, with trusted Tomorrowland residents holding these extensions.

Soon enough, a small nation named '''Baffin Island''' was available for sale. Even though it was on the other side of the continent, the nation was promptly purchased and ran as a colony. The capital, Dyer Bay, was rich in terms of history. This acquisition was a significant milestone, and marked the first signs of expansion for the nation

By the time the nation had reached 549 residents, ''thebestLung'' approached '''''Allags''''', '''''GrayMold9''''' and '''''bobbyjoe47''''', the founder and leaders of an influential nation in the region named '''''Alberta''''' with the proposal to merge. Alberta alone had 450 residents at the moment, so merging would make the ensuing nation almost 1000-resident strong. It was an enticing idea, but letting go of one's national identity is never an easy idea to entertain. '''''GrayMold9''''' took a few days to think it over, often retreating into bong sessions in solitude to mull the pros and cons of such a merger. '''''GrayMold9''''' was a noble leader after all, and decided to put national interests above personal scepticism.
