History

2019

Copiapó's Foundation

July 15th, 2019 was the date where two settlers, tgl_mapping and SaltySweet_ founded Copiapó at the north of Chile, it was finacially supported by the Chilean Goverment at the time, this was also seen as an opportunity to claim back land from the Incan Empire, the placement of the town threaten the city of BeTa_CoRp which will eventually fall from inactivity, thus Copiapo and Chile would claim back the Atacama Region (this can be seen in future maps of Chile)

Chile-Patagonia Conflict

Atacama or formerly know as Copiapó in this Era, did not have a lot of activity through out this conflict, besides providing materials or supplys to do little proyects agaisnt Patagonia (the acts made here werent lethal or considered something to declare war against them, but it was ment to mock the patagonians and their sovernity), the state of Copiapó and the acts it did woudnt excalate until the Operation Atahualpa would take place in Chile.

Operation Atahualpa

Operation Atahualpa took place in late 2019 (exact date is was lost), it was an elaborated plan to disband Chile and hoped to claim all the former Chilean cities to the Peru-Viceroyalty, this operation was elavorated by 78Kei and 78Coryx and supported financially by Patagonia. (More details can be seen in the La Plata´s wiki page) Chile was later founded back again with CR12 being the new Leader of Chile, Copiapó would join back Chile making the location of Copiapó a strategical point between the Peruvian-Viceroyalty border and the New Chilean Border. Copiapó at the peak of the conflict was one of the few towns on the north that didnt fall or joined to the Peruvian-Viceroyalty.

(little fun fact of this conflict is that the original founders of Copiapó got together to fake a story, eventually made up so Chile would start a espionage against Peru-Viceroyalty.)

2020

Hiatus

After the conflict of Atahualpa relations with Chile would stabilize with Patagonia, and with Peru-Viceroyalty gone Copiapo would go through an inactivity state which still prolongs to 2021.

2021

Return

Thanks to JonnyGrunge Financial Help, Copiapo would expand its borders even further, at which point it was the 3rd biggest town, thanks to its size and relation to real world locations, it was renamed to the Region de Atacama or Atacama for short.

In this time Atacama would become one of the most active towns in the country of Chile, with plans to improve the town and to replace the current Chilean Spawn Shop. not also that, its new objetive is to become more trade friendly and try to welcome even more players than ever to the nation.

Buildings

Through out the history of the city, Atacama has changed a lot going from gravel roads and a colonial themed style of buildings to a more modern style of buildings, its most important buildings however, have only been rebuilt to fit its style, the important buildings are considered the buildings that do exist in the real world, from the location the town is in.

The Flora of Atacama consists of Roses, poppy, dandelions, Azure Bluet and Lily of the Valley.

Vexillology

The Flag of Atacama was choosen the 14th of june 2021 as thanks to the territorial expancion of Copiapo, which would end up being the 3rd largest Town in La Plata, thanks to this change it was suggested that Copiapo would need to rename it self to what we now know as Atacama.

Flag

The Colors of the Flag are Blue and Gold, Blue represents the Liberty and Freedom, While the Golden star represents the effert of those who fought for this land. (this flag does exist IRL and has a bit different meaning, but the vexillology here was change due to different events happening of course)

Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms of Atacama has the name of "Lickanantay Tchitack Tchamma" from the lenguaje Kunza which translates to "Atacamenian of strong heart" The coat of arms uses an iberic shield, split into 3 parts, 1 reprecenting each part of the region's districts, the other reprecents the workers of Atacama and its vasts and rich desert, and the bottom part reprecents the "diaguitas" culture of the region. At its sides there are 2 flags of the Region, and above the shield there are 2 flying mythical creatures called "Alicanto" which is a Golden Goose. Along side the Alicantos there is the Golden Star with the words "Lickanantay Tchitack Tchamma" above it.

(If you know the name of watever this political system is, let me know!)
