Formed as a Left-Wing Utopia, The Empire of AdyLand has been a NationState since 13th September 2014, when it joined the Democratic Socialist Assembly, only to be transferred to the New Warsaw Pact a couple of days later, where it served as the WA Delegate for a day. It was later re-founded as a Civil Rights Lovefest on March 28th, 2015 in Osiris, 15 days after it first ceased to exist.

17 days later, on 14th April 2015, it relocated to 10000 Islands, where it gained 123 endorsements within 24 hours. On 22nd June, 2015, after placing 68th in the World with 228 World Endorsements, AdyLand moved to The North Pacific. There it received 191 endorsements in 24 hours.

AdyLand's Coat of arms.

AdyLand's most successful sports team, Angelopolis Saviors.

Shhh....since the Saviors' Grand Illuminati Copyright Scandal of 1973, the team is no longer allowed to use its full logo....so they settled for just a mediocre image of the team name written in the nation's map. in. The album still serves as their anthem, thanks to illegal file-sharing and lenient copyright security of today.
