The Dominion of Folia Tail, co-officially the Principality of Folia Tail and formerly known as Delsgade, Chickenopolis, and the State of Folia Tail, is a dominion in the Federated States of Gapla. It is currently the second most powerful and influential state in the entirety of Gapla, and it joined Gapla originally as the Grand Kingdom of Chickenopolis.

Chickenopolis was originally an independent nation before merging into the Federated States of Gapla. It is the fourth Gaplan state, joining right after Emeralkia. After a long period of inactivity and alignment with Xadia, the fall of Xadia caused it to try to reassume the position as Elemental did to Ozzah, which was not successful. Eventually, the founder, Renaldo Chang turned against Gapla briefly before renaming into Delsgade and later Folia Tail, creating an empire as a Gaplan state that has successfully contested and even defeated Elemental in a session.

Subdivisions

The Dominion of Folia Tail is a constituent principality of the Federated States of Gapla and consists of seven subdivisions: Dragon City (the capital city), Sweet Falls, Daisy City, Musicland City, Painaris, Xadia, Folian Elementaltar.

The first six listed are cities, which are communities with their own decision and law-making bodies. Folian Elementaltar is a municipality, a piece of New Gaplastovia controlled by Folia Tail, inspired by Gibraltar. During the time, New Gaplastovia was a part of Elemental, hence the name. Municipalities are under the complete control of the Dominion of Folia Tail and have no local government.

The following is a list of subdivisions in Folia Tail:

History

Early days

While the story is lesser well known than Emeralkia, Chickenopolis and Emeralkia have similar founding stories. When Renaldo heard about Gapla, he decided that he wanted to venture into micronationalism independently as the Grand Kingdom of Chickenopolis. However, most students in the class mainly paid attention to Gapla rather than Chickenopolis.

Renaldo Chang, while interested in Gapla, decided that he would make an independent kingdom as another micronation. While Wyatt urged him to join Gapla, he stood by his original decision until his nation fell inactive. During yoga (PE's substitute on a rainy day), Wyatt managed to convince Renaldo to make Chickenopolis, which is now Folia Tail, into a Gaplan state.

A while afterwards, Vera Sy decided to create her own state. She held a naming contest for it (the prize was custom made and decorated origami boxes from her company, Box-It). The winner was Grace Tan, who took Vera's last name and joined it with the suffix "opolis," which was likely inspired from Chickenopolis. Chickenopolis had a large following and culture already, even with its own form of greeting (the "chicken greeting").

Gaplan Revolution

Renaldo applied for membership to Hubbard Sucks and was accepted as a member. He was not a major figure in the organization or in Gapla until his rise to power in the Gaplan Renaissance and his second, very dramatic rise in the next school year. During the Gaplan Renaissance, Renaldo sided with the Xadians and Musiclandians. In this capacity, he climbed up the ranks of the State of Xadia to reach a powerful military position. After the fall of Xadia, Renaldo aggressively attacked former Xadian colonies, seeking to be the next Xadia.

However, while his state got incredibly powerful for a little less than a week, he was defeated by an Elementalian task force that had conquered the territory of the other side (Ozzah). With the fall of Xadia and Ozzah, Elemental was left unopposed, and Renaldo wished to counter that. However, he was unsuccessful every time and soon fell inactive.

Return to Gapla

After falling very inactive for quite a long time, Renaldo largely criticized the Federated States of Gapla, calling it a "fake nation" with "no purpose" and that "Wyatt's police doesn't exist." He repeatedly made fun of the country over Zoom, but was largely ignored by the Gaplan authorities.

However, a few weeks later, Renaldo contacted the Gaplan government on how to be active in Gapla again. Renaldo's previous criticism is likely due to not knowing how to be active and taking an alternative approach. The government welcomed and celebrated Renaldo back, and he soon defended the country in the school Zoom meetings. Renaldo then renamed his state from Chickenopolis to "Delsgade," as he thought it was a more proper name for the state. Notably, Vera Sy was extremely upset at this decision.

He later tried to deny that the criticism of Gapla at the beginning of the year happened, and then grew ashamed after after he was disqualified for the award of the Leaflet of Gaplan Fortune (LGF), an award dedicated to those who are loyal to Gapla, because of his prior actions.

He eventually renamed his state to Folia Tail after the rise to power, which, through the help of former Xadian states and some hard work, consistently caught up to and even defeated Elemental in a session. Along with Chelsea Chen, he was the first funders of Gapla, buying titles, a crown, Gapla Dollars, and more.

Colonial ages

The colonial ages was the start of the rise of Folia Tail which surpassed Elemental in September 2021.

During this period, Folia Tail strategically planned the "fire dragon's return" and the "water dragon's return," and the state government released a statement that said that the dragons mentioned were literal, that they shoot fire, and that they will destroy Elemental. Today, these are often seen as the same thing as the proposed rise of Folia Tail done earlier.

However, it was discovered that this was used for secrecy reasons, and the actual plan was to discuss Folia Tail's plans without leaking it to Elemental, and for Elemental to completely ignore it as a joke. This seems to have worked, as Folia Tail has completed its plan and have successfully been narrowly declared as the session leader.

Folia Tail's main competitor is Elemental. As part of the left-right divide and general interstate competitions, Folia Tail has always been competing with Elemental, its left-wing rival. Renaldo is also prone to arguing with Chelsea and the rest of the Socialist Party, known for posting dozens of "Socialism is Cancer" GIFs in a row in the #socialist-party channel of the Gaplan Discord server.
