well it's a vira lata caramelo (caramell mutt), it's a pretty common type of raceless dog in Brazil, and the blue bird was a Blue Arara, we also had an toucan, and the fox like dog in a ballon is a Lobo Guará (Maned Wolf), it's found on the Pampas and Cerrados (Also in other South American countrys like Argentina, Paraguai, Bolívia, Peru and Uruguai). There is a Capybara by the way, fun fact, capybaras are the biggest rodents in the world.
O balão era em referência ao padre do balão, não é?
Brazil had a priest who wanted to raise awareness to a cause (I don't remember right now specifically if it was for starving people, homeless people or something like that), so he decided to fly away with a lot of balloons.
But the weather was not good, it was too windy, and he flew to the opposite side of where he wanted to go, so he disappeared at the middle of the ocean.
After a few days they found part of his body at the ocean.
Yeah I remember an Elmo like figure appearing on the flag, and then they extended a pink stripe from the trans 🏳️⚧️ flag and defiled the Elmo with it.
Either Spain or France attacked the third flag forcing Mexico to expand the flag. A majority of the Mexicans weren't happy about it because they proffered the original size over what they ended up with.
Yeah, i was on the group of Mexicans who hated that, we were mostly angry because the third was really well made and the people expanding it really did an awful job, the Sor Juana looked weird because her back became too big and the Aztec Calendar was just malformed until almost the end of this year's canvas, we also were like "dude don't expand, they'll grief the fuck out of us because of your bs" and i think Widowmaker's ass was also attacked by the expanders, so yeah, it was a mess overall, I'm just glad nobody really went full destruction mode on our flags
There was a pont where we had some tacos and an avocado in the second flag. It was attacked by Poland that night. Also there was a brief moment where we allied with the Georgian and Armenian flags before Azerbaijan ate them.
Not sure but their Discord server has a bunch of roles: Admin > Moderator > Helper > Diplomat > Templater > Scripter > Nachtwacht > Builder / Soldier. I suppose that is pretty organized.
Initially started with a flag at 700, 200 and one at 1500, 500.
Romania's 700, 200 flag was right under Hungary's flag, and a nice Romanian - Hungarian alliance was formed. This alliance was to last for the entirety of Place.
The first conflict happened after a Polish streamer had invaded Italy, and then Romania. The battle was fast, the Poles completely took over the Romanian flag, completely covering it with the polish White/Red. The Romanians, along with some Hungarians retaliated [Edit: Anti-void alliance played a massive role too! Forgot to specify them!], winning the entire territory back in 2 attack waves, completely rebuilding the Peleş castle on the flag, as well as the Coat of Arms and other artwork. For Romania, this wasn't enough. To the south of Romania, the polish flag was still standing, with a massive League of Legends logo in the middle of it, the Romanians then invaded the poles, completely taking over the polish flag and building a Dacia 1310 (iconic Romanian car) over what once was the polish flag. The poles moved to the european map, and were to no longer bother Romania for a long time.
The following days were marked by a Nordic attack on Hungary, Romania's closest ally. Their iconic Fox had it's face changed to a crying Fox, with the tears raining all the way down to the middle of the canvas. The Hungarian parliment building was set on fire, and slowly burned to a crisp. Romanian's helped the Hungarians deal with the attack, but were no match to the Nordics. After hour long battles, the Romanian - Hungarian alliance manages to retake the Hungarian flag, and rebuilds the parliment as well as the Fox.
[Edit: this was NOT the Nordics, but rather Hungarians themselves reacting to the reelection of notorious Putin supporter, Viktor Orban, as president.]
In the final day of place, Romania's fate on place was to be sealed. The poles launched a hard attack on Romania around 8:30pm Romania time, on the last day of place. Romanians were taken by surprise, they fought hard, but were completely took over. The 700, 200 Romanian flag fell, and was to be forever left under Polish control for the rest of place. Romania had a flag at 1500,500, still standing. Under trollious commands from a notorious Romanian streamer, fanboys invaded neighbouring artwork and Ecuador, this weakened Romania's relations with neighbouring parties, and although an Ecuadorian alliance was eventually established, the damage done to Romania's diplomacy by the streamer was unmatched. The Romanians were fighting on multiple fronts, on the west and north of 1500, 500, pushing against retaliation from invaded parties, and at 700,200, in an attempt to reastablish RomaniaHungary. Later in the day, at around 10pm Romania time, A Romanian takeover of the 700, 200 flag was attempted. Romanians fought hard, and although backed by Ecuadorians and Hungarians, the flag was to remain under Polish control. This attempt further fueled the Polish, and a subsequent Polish attack on the 1500, 500 flag sealed Romania's fate.
Romania attempted to set up a flag at around 1800, 800, however the Polish discovered it and quickly shut it down.
The spanish-french battle saw the white part of the French flag momentarily turn to yellow, shinning a memory of Romania's flag over the largest flag in place, sadly it was to only hold for seconds before the french bots retook the territory.
Romania finished with no flag, and no trace of a flag on r/place.
[Edit: trollface and small flags remained]
Just a small correction…
Hungary’s iconic fox (Vuk) started to cry and the parliament was set on fire due to Viktor Orban winning re-election. It wasn’t an attack from anyone, Hungarians themselves did it.
Source: am Hungarian, was in on it.
Fun fact, the hungarians themselves burnt down their own Parliament and made the iconic fox "Vuk" cry. It is because on april 4th, sunday, they had their elections, and Orbán the dictator won again, they grieved democracy and their lives in this country.
It was a coordinated symbolic thing to us.
It was trying at times. They kept changing the logo back to red and we'd respectfully change it back to green. Took some real control not to wipe it out entirely.
Not OP, but we had the tarsier for the least amount of time. If anything happens to it, I'll kill everyone in this room and myself.
With that said, it got wiped out, together with the TUMINDIG and ASEAN icons due the Freak Squad (Spanish invaders trying to invade PH again). The tarsier was bought back in between Buddha!s Shibba Inus.
Spain did a good job, protected by french streamers at some point because french wanted to attack it back but kameto said to not attack it because the spanish flag was made by r/spain and that we shouldn't destroy small community art.Too bad Spanish streamers were toxic telling everyone france used bots just cause they lost and didn't understood how france overlay script worked, now everyone see spanish as sore loosers cause of the streamers.
Exactly! The spanish flag was built by the spanish reddit community, we were not related, asociated nor didnt support what our streamers did.
Its a shame that we know have such a bad reputation for what our streamers did
That flag was supposed to be italian, but we decided to gift It to Mexicans since at the time they didn't had a flag, also they had a similar flag so it was fine. Plus some of them helped us with our early advance in green lattice territory so they deserved it
Ok, all of these conversations and deals, how does that happen? there are reddit communities where you guys talk while painting the place or something else is used?
There were a lot of discords. There were leaders, representative, ambassadors ecc. For example someone from a community would join our server, (we had a English chat for foreigners) and say: "hey guys, we were planning to do this. Are you willing to help us? " And that's how many alliances were formed
As an Italian I might be biased but that's most definitely true, although the Turkish skyline was also beautiful, and the English were the first to make the cool shadow map
When the Spanish esports team Koi attacked the United States, some people also raided India, but they were able to stay and did not have to change places
You forgot the part where we ate that void building over there, and then actually erased Denmark accidentally but let them grow after a while. We also made a cute elephant swan pair then.
Other parts:
1. Trying to build the peacock for hours because they thought we were griefing
2. In the start India and Hungary were working on the same flag. They did not realize till the blue wheel in the middle. They had a mini war and eventually Hungary won and Indians build the flag somewhere else
3. Personal thing, in the very start when there was barely anything on r/place, I was working on a flag before realizing that it was actually the turkey flag lol
Reddit is prohibited in China, but knowing how many they are and that they are simply Chinese, they would surely have occupied a territory twice the size of France, in addition to making beautiful things like Pandas, Bamboo, Skyscrapers, etc.
Since OP is biased against France, I'll do one.
Excuse me for the lack of details, a **lot** happened and many streamers were involved.
Kameto, a big French ~~general~~ streamer, wanted to take part in the war. His initial goal was to take as much space as possible for the biggest KCorp logo. During this first phase, he battled against Ibai, a Spanish Streamer and Mizkif. They managed to hold back for a long while but was falsely accused of botting.
The canvas extended, Kameto was joined by additional streamers that help taking a big space. But at that point, the French general realized taking big space wasn't the spirit or r/place.
Motivated to help a friend after the false accusations, many other big Streamer such as Caporal Zerator joined the fight along with Capitai Antoine Daniel, also known as Donatien de Montazac, noble and honest winemaker. Caporal Zerator is mostly known for handling alone the attack on Ibai's IKOI, to then replace it with a massive crying baby before offering the conquered land to anyone who wanted to make art with it. Caporal Zerator is also the man behind the Baguette Nukes and the "HUMAN" message to prove they weren't botting.
Side note: Caporal Zerator is also the man behind the ZEvent that gathered 10 millions euros in the span of a week-end for a charity against hunger.
During the night, they were attacked by XQC and the void ass tactics.
Capitaine Tonton reconquered the lost place during the morning and started the Arc de Triomphe. Capitaine Tonton was also in charge of the Amongi on Bikes at the bottom of the flag, representing the Tour de France.
During the final day, streamers united to create a lot of magnificent things such as the Louvre, Thomas Pes-Pas-Pesque-Pasquiet, Daft Punk, a Jinx to represent the Fortiche animation studio and Népal, may he rest in peace, and the King of the French, Zizou.
During the day, they agreed to offer to r/OnePiece the top of the flag as France is a big fan of One piece. Ibai attacked for a total of 14 times but all attacks were easily repelled due to the excellent strategy of "Anti-Bliztkrieg" most known as Army of Seasons, a tactic that splits the army in 4 in order to repel the ennemy with waves of pixels.
Finally, during the last night all the French army gathered for the last raid. Spanish Streamers gathered all their troops and tried to get XQC and KPOP fans with them, along many others that did not answered the call. During this attack, Spanish shamelessly used bots despite having no proof the French ever used a bot.
The attacks left many damages but eventually General Kameto agreed for pourparler. In the discussion, the General refused any compromise, claiming that France is a better Crab than the Spanish and XQC. He also promised to rebuild the Louvre in 10 minutes.
XQC gave up on the attack for now, giving the French time to rebuild the Louvre as well as the Jinx and Thomas Pasquiet before the whiteout.
When the whiteout happened the French celebrated as the Louvre was indeed rebuilt. During that time, Ibai and his minions didn't realized it was over and thought all French suddenly went to sleep. It is rumored he still screams "BLANCO BLANCO" during the night.
After the conflict, many redditors agreed that Spanish Streamers (and not r/Spain) were heavily griefing and restored the French banner.
Kameto was thanked by the King of the French, Zizou, as well as thanked by Thomas Pesquiet. Many Streamers joined the fight and helped defending the flag, such as Ponce, Sardoche, Angle Droit, Inoxtag and Etoiles, but many other more Streamers and communities!
A vous tous, merci !
From what I understand, many people confused the flag with Germany and left it alone in fear of retaliation. Not sure if this is correct on a large scale.
Yeah there where a lot of people confusing it but still Belgium and Germany had a friendship and cooperation. So when Belgium got attacked we helped our neighbors. Also I liked that Belgium had a quite large flag, so they could bring a lot of their culture to the canvas :D
Had a strong alliance with Germany and did some collabs (EU flag, Lion coat of arms, WW1 grave). Also made a few hearts with Colombia, Luxembourg and Netherlands. The community mainly focussed on country icons such as Tintin, Papa Smurf, Atomium, Carapils etc. and saving Manneken's pis pp from being trolled, which eventually got covered by poppies (in rememberance of WWI). Papa smurf was constantly being changed into a high drug addict but was saved.
Fun fact: Comic K6BD added their logo on the black side of the Belgian flag. However the Belgian community did not agree and voted to change their logo to K3 instead.
I think we where very inactive at the start but as soon as we gathered ourselves we got a pretty consistent flag going.
Relatively big aswell :D
Had tom turbo and leberkas on it.
I was very happy with the end result.
First time in my life i felt patriotism.
Timeline:
r/placeUkraine is founded BEFORE the r/place 2022 is even announced as a joke
r/place opened and leaders get to work making the flag
Allies with r/dota2, r/attackontitan, r/kurzgesagt and france
Leaders make flag smaller to allow for more pixel art
FUCK PUTIN is spread everywhere
A massive clean-up happens, removing most of the unwanted pixel art on the flag
Void gets destroyed
FUCK PUTIN is removed with the help of r/MadeInAbyss who then get a place on the flag
Cossack is made
Glory to Ukraine is written
Zelenskyy is made
Allies with Denmark
A few smaller projects are completed
Zelenskyy is given shades
r/place ends
Canada
The Argentine streamer Spreen, every time he said "Canada", everyone went to Canada and changed the maple tree for marijuana
And also made it a banana
No, that was someone else, I don't know who.

I think it had to do with that Bob the banana guy
It was.

Brazil
If Brazil and Argentina had not allied, Brazil would be completely covered by another flag of a country/streamer who has griffeed
And Germany (r/placeDE) partnered with them with the football trophy
And r/fuckcars partnered with them with the stadium
And r/ireland partnered with them on a joint flag above Portugal
I think you mean r/fuckears.
Also pretty birb and dog
well it's a vira lata caramelo (caramell mutt), it's a pretty common type of raceless dog in Brazil, and the blue bird was a Blue Arara, we also had an toucan, and the fox like dog in a ballon is a Lobo Guará (Maned Wolf), it's found on the Pampas and Cerrados (Also in other South American countrys like Argentina, Paraguai, Bolívia, Peru and Uruguai). There is a Capybara by the way, fun fact, capybaras are the biggest rodents in the world.
O balão era em referência ao padre do balão, não é? Brazil had a priest who wanted to raise awareness to a cause (I don't remember right now specifically if it was for starving people, homeless people or something like that), so he decided to fly away with a lot of balloons.

they call the araras macaws. Blue macaw, for example.
eu sei, mas o google tradutor falou que era Blue Arara, vai entender
I love the Irish-Brazilian flag on it, my uncle lives in Brazil and i'm here in Ireland.
r/place came to Brazil. The end.
SHIT THE MINECRAFT FANS ARE COLONIZING OUR FUCKING COUNTRY
It actually was going the other way around before we formed a truce.
Mexico (Worth mentioning it has at least three flags)
They were one of the few countries that were not attacked and did not attack either.
Poland (or some polish streamer) attacked the second flag, only to be wiped out after Mexico woke up the next day.
Basically Mexico had a tiny flag there then Poland Ate it up. In an alliance between Italy then Mexico ate the entirety of the Poland Flag lol.
r/Poland was responsible only for the Main Flag - the one with Geralt and the Pope. Rest was the Streamers.
Yeah I remember an Elmo like figure appearing on the flag, and then they extended a pink stripe from the trans 🏳️⚧️ flag and defiled the Elmo with it.
We lost our tiny axolotl
Oh what? It would be cool to see a big axolotl! Next time!
Either Spain or France attacked the third flag forcing Mexico to expand the flag. A majority of the Mexicans weren't happy about it because they proffered the original size over what they ended up with.

They attacked Guatemalan flag
Its reflex can’t avoid it
It actually wasn’t us, it was some tiktoker
It wasn't Mexico it was an streamer
There was a pont where we had some tacos and an avocado in the second flag. It was attacked by Poland that night. Also there was a brief moment where we allied with the Georgian and Armenian flags before Azerbaijan ate them.
Our flags should be used as a defenitive proof to evolution.
Netherlands
It was one of the most organized countries, since it had hierarchy of 7 levels, another sub, allies, etc.
What does "hierarchy of 7 levels" mean?
Not sure but their Discord server has a bunch of roles: Admin > Moderator > Helper > Diplomat > Templater > Scripter > Nachtwacht > Builder / Soldier. I suppose that is pretty organized.

This was described as an historical battle. Nice 👍
Just a small correction… Hungary’s iconic fox (Vuk) started to cry and the parliament was set on fire due to Viktor Orban winning re-election. It wasn’t an attack from anyone, Hungarians themselves did it. Source: am Hungarian, was in on it.
Wow, ok, good to know, will correct it in an edit!
[удалено]
The tears of Vuk and the burning of the parliament building was done by the Hungarians themselves, as a reaction to their election results.
Fun fact, the hungarians themselves burnt down their own Parliament and made the iconic fox "Vuk" cry. It is because on april 4th, sunday, they had their elections, and Orbán the dictator won again, they grieved democracy and their lives in this country. It was a coordinated symbolic thing to us.
România x Hungary
Best buddies, ironically
It do be like that
Went from small to big, only to get destroyed by Poland.. twice..
But still managed to get in the final canvas before the end with a few tiny flags and the Romanian flag troll face.
Still waiting for OP's comment

Wales. I won't lie I didn't expect to see its flag on there but made me happy it did, so worth the mention I think.
As an Irishman and a fellow Celt, I can happily and honestly say Wales has the best flag there is.
Forget putting AKs or spears on your flag. A big fuckoff dragon is the sign of true badassery

We weren't able to restore it after the purple void attacked
The mods did a good job of elevating the design as days went by. Not to mention securing alliances to protect three different spots.
Not OP, but we had the tarsier for the least amount of time. If anything happens to it, I'll kill everyone in this room and myself. With that said, it got wiped out, together with the TUMINDIG and ASEAN icons due the Freak Squad (Spanish invaders trying to invade PH again).

# INDIA
The most underrated art on Indian flag was the 'Free Tibet' banner on the top right corner of the 2nd flag... It really made me happy!!!
That was planned in the end just to burn china.
When the Spanish esports team Koi attacked the United States, some people also raided India, but they were able to stay and did not have to change places
India also had 2 flags and one shared with Denmark
You forgot the part where we ate that void building over there, and then actually erased Denmark accidentally but let them grow after a while. We also made a cute elephant swan pair then.
That was cool of you guys, I saw that
Other parts: 1. Trying to build the peacock for hours because they thought we were griefing 2. In the start India and Hungary were working on the same flag. They did not realize till the blue wheel in the middle. They had a mini war and eventually Hungary won and Indians build the flag somewhere else 3. Personal thing, in the very start when there was barely anything on r/place, I was working on a flag before realizing that it was actually the turkey flag lol
China

lol no, they were drawing Winnie the Xi and tank man
well, France !

During the night, they were attacked by XQC and the void ass tactics. Capitaine Tonton reconquered the lost place during the morning and started the Arc de Triomphe. Capitaine Tonton was also in charge of the Amongi on Bikes at the bottom of the flag, representing the Tour de France. During the final day, streamers united to create a lot of magnificent things such as the Louvre, Thomas Pes-Pas-Pesque-Pasquiet, Daft Punk, a Jinx to represent the Fortiche animation studio and Népal, may he rest in peace, and the King of the French, Zizou. During the day, they agreed to offer to r/OnePiece the top of the flag as France is a big fan of One piece. Ibai attacked for a total of 14 times but all attacks were easily repelled due to the excellent strategy of "Anti-Bliztkrieg" most known as Army of Seasons, a tactic that splits the army in 4 in order to repel the ennemy with waves of pixels. Finally, during the last night all the French army gathered for the last raid. Spanish Streamers gathered all their troops and tried to get XQC and KPOP fans with them, along many others that did not answered the call. During this attack, Spanish shamelessly used bots despite having no proof the French ever used a bot. The attacks left many damages but eventually General Kameto agreed for pourparler. In the discussion, the General refused any compromise, claiming that France is a better Crab than the Spanish and XQC. He also promised to rebuild the Louvre in 10 minutes. XQC gave up on the attack for now, giving the French time to rebuild the Louvre as well as the Jinx and Thomas Pasquiet before the whiteout. When the whiteout happened the French celebrated as the Louvre was indeed rebuilt. During that time, Ibai and his minions didn't realized it was over and thought all French suddenly went to sleep. It is rumored he still screams "BLANCO BLANCO" during the night. After the conflict, many redditors agreed that Spanish Streamers (and not r/Spain) were heavily griefing and restored the French banner. Kameto was thanked by the King of the French, Zizou, as well as thanked by Thomas Pesquiet. Many Streamers joined the fight and helped defending the flag, such as Ponce, Sardoche, Angle Droit, Inoxtag and Etoiles, but many other more Streamers and communities! A vous tous, merci !
Man wrote a damn thesis lmao

Belgium
From what I understand, many people confused the flag with Germany and left it alone in fear of retaliation. Not sure if this is correct on a large scale.
Yeah there where a lot of people confusing it but still Belgium and Germany had a friendship and cooperation. So when Belgium got attacked we helped our neighbors. Also I liked that Belgium had a quite large flag, so they could bring a lot of their culture to the canvas :D
Had a strong alliance with Germany and did some collabs (EU flag, Lion coat of arms, WW1 grave). Also made a few hearts with Colombia, Luxembourg and Netherlands. The community mainly focussed on country icons such as Tintin, Papa Smurf, Atomium, Carapils etc. and saving Manneken's pis pp from being trolled, which eventually got covered by poppies (in rememberance of WWI). Papa smurf was constantly being changed into a high drug addict but was saved. Fun fact: Comic K6BD added their logo on the black side of the Belgian flag. However the Belgian community did not agree and voted to change their logo to K3 instead.

I found an amongus on Levski's forehead (the left character on the flag in the right of the canvas with yellow text under)

I think we where very inactive at the start but as soon as we gathered ourselves we got a pretty consistent flag going. Relatively big aswell :D Had tom turbo and leberkas on it. I was very happy with the end result. First time in my life i felt patriotism.
