First iteration	i33
Years active	2020–2026
Notable members	Fedward
Associated groups	Brazilians, Cyprus

The Fedwardists are a group originating from TaP first appearing during i33 and being a major player in post i38 /int/craft.

The Fedwardists are not a traditional metagroup and are rather made up of whatever players or subgroups Fedward would scrape together. Despite lacking an established playerbase the faction would consistently rally well until i44.

Fedward, who had played with the TaP group in 32.0, had since established his own group again on TaP. With the lack of a established TaP group he planned on creating a group with PhamtomGuy however after strong opposition from his group Fedward made Armenia without PhamtomGuy's influence. Armenia would lose part of its rally after Black_Trollface would be banned by Fili from the test server due to flyhacking, leading to low activity from Swag Gang for the whole iteration. Armenia would build a low quality Stone Brick house and a basic city wall to protect its farm. Armenia would remain moderately active throughout the week with Jonas, a future Brazilian King, joining from /vm/. Jonas and Wendell would expand the homechunk to be a fantasy style castle. VM would remain a small trickle of players for the Fedwardist group bringing some of its highest quality members. The group would become engaged in conflict with Babylon over securing the Leather Berserker Armor chetplate from a event. Armenia would be one of the nations destroyed during War 1 as Babylon would Overwhelm the Newfag group despite Trojan reinforcements and Consistent Shear Rushing. Though defeated, Armenia would buy hours of time for its allies by Babylon expending serious commitment into capturing Artsakh.

Merged into Brazil and Fedward did not hold any significant power in South Italy

Played Belarus and did one of the only memeraids of i37

Played as Colombia and was Co-Ruled by Wendell and Fedward. The group would pick up Swag Gang again as well as leftover Brazilians and Yugoslavia from 38.0. Colombia would suffer from bipolar diplomacy as both leaders made diplomatic moves without the others knowledge. The nation would be made up of the Yugoslavian and Swag Gang Panama City, the Brazilian Barquisimeto, and later a small town which defected from Texas. Panama would contain a small sized town including a star fort while Barquisimeto would remain a small shack due to Brazilian Inactivity. Engaged in constant memeraids against California via the use of memetowns in California. A town from Texas would defect to Colombia. Fought as apart of the Caribbean alliance and secured the second highest amount of online players for the first war. Would fight Oregon to a stalemate despite much of the group refusing to log on due to expecting to lose to Oregon. The low war rally would be offset by massive redeploy times to Panama City for Oregon and the overall chaos of the war period.i39 would demonstrate many of the weaknesses of the group such as its feudalistic structure which would require unreliable sub-leaders to be constantly appeased and hold strong influence over the leadership. This structure would although manageable result in near-disaster on multiple occassions.

Integrated into the Brazilians as the English Division and would have Fedward serve as the de-jure leader. War Day 3 would be the only true Fedwardist War due to a lack of Brazilian Presence. The campaign against Strykergang would be intially successful leading to significant amounts of land in Texas being reclaimed however poor player retention and severely poorly managed internal and alliance coordination would lead to a territorial defeat although the frontline city of Del Rio would hold. Despite a rally of only 25-30 players there would be four seperate voice chats on Discord with minimal inter-coordination and Cyprus would abandon the front for the majority of war. Fedward would prove unable to manage the inter-server rivalry of his subgroups leading to mass teamkilling during the second phase of the war.

Made a memetown in Budapest and rallied exclusively Cyprus members

Played as the Galactic Empire. Despite severely low interest in the iteration Fedward would pull a high PvP skill rally for the first war and successfully capitulate the Woj Group 965.

Would play as the British Social Republic and fight the Woj/Vothist Tamil Tiger's and the Newfag Hyderabad. The British Raj would capitulate Hyderabad and after two war periods end off roughly even in nodes captured and lost with the Tamil's. Although rallying much less compared to the higher energy i40 the group would suffer from no internalissues and a fully centralized commmand structure.

Would play as France and have a all-time low activity due to Fedward being busy spending all of his time playing whack-o-mole with the severely unstable server. Despite low activity France still held a town that achieved Tier 2 which was printed in from the pre iteration build server. France would prove to be a shadow of a faction due to Fedward being busy Janitoring with a peak playercount of 3 whilst the server had 80 Players online. France would fight Ireland for Warzone led by Fedward after he would eventually stabilize the server into being playable after a dozen server crashes and band aid fixes to the broken plugins. France would eventually win the English Warzone due to the Irish group becoming busy IRL and Rome townhopping players to Paris constantly. Fedward would take a dual role for war leading France against Ireland and in a PvP only state due to truces against Rome and Kiev whilst also jannying occasionally during war. France would prove ineffective during war due to a low rally and the inability to War Rome due to War Rules.

The Fedwardists would chronically abuse mechanics such as town hopping frequently due to a lack of moderation on post 38.0 /int/craft. During i40 the group would move much of its members to a frontline meme town which would be moved by Sabasko and abuse this to achieve faster redeploy times. In i43 and i44 the group would move over half of its rally to roguelich's nation to prevent Cyprus from capitulating him. Fedwardists have also been widely accused of using ESP and other cleint features with Fedward infamously posting a screenshot of him using it intentionally . Despite this there has been a lack of bans for clienting in the group, even when moderation was undertaken.
