Chelidoniaball

Chelidoniaball, also called Delichoniaball and officially the Chelidonian Republicball, is an Avian countryball in the southwest Balkans who has actually has not been "Avian" until 2021, when Avian countryballs became a thing. Nowadays, it actually holds the largest population of common house martins (Delichon urbicum) in the (fanon) world that settle in its clay. In fact, Chelidoniaball is the only countryball in the (fanon) world where common house martins are sedentary birds that settle in its clay year-round and are considered as citizens.

History
First established in April 19 2010, Chelidoniaball, as mentioned before, was never actually an Avian countryball, but was originally just a Hellenic type countryball. This is because Chelidoniaball was never independent with Avian intentions as there was no idea about it back then, yet the countryball's name means "the land of the martins/swallows" due to its abundance of barn swallows and common house martins, and it is still named that way.

Chelidoniaball didn't have much of an interesting history until early 2021, when Avian countryballs became a thing. Chelidoniaball started adopting the standards of being an Avian countryball to their state and its government became influenced with Avian constitutional subjects. In fact, when Chelidoniaball applied the standards of being an Avian countryball, the countryball has become influenced very much by the bird species native and symbolic to/of the country, the common house martin, which then the populations of those birds started to reside in Chelidoniaball and became qualified as citizens. In addition, common house martins became also a sedentary bird in its clay, which qualifies the populations in the countryball as not migratory and it nowadays lives year-round in Chelidoniaball, while in most of its range outside Chelidoniaball, they're completely migratory. Common house martins in Chelidoniaball also became adapted much more easily in living there as a species with qualified citizenship as with having advanced intelligence, being close to having human-like intelligence, which allowed common house martins in Chelidoniaball to be able to construct complex buildings like humans do, but in a much more eco-friendly way by using natural materials especially mud, collaborate with human citizens of Chelidoniaball in many things, think abstractly, etc. This same effect has also been left on other Avian countryballs with a different representative of a different species of bird, which has affected that representative species of these Avian countryballs. Nowadays, it is a countryball mainly known for its well-appreciated national symbolic bird, the common house martin, that influenced the countryball well recently. Chelidoniaball still remains its own Hellenic type in their heart, but became very much a countryball influenced with Avian type standards that it actually became an Avian countryball.

Recently on 21 January 2022, Chelidoniaball built a cityball called Synergatochelidopolisball (meaning the city of collaborative martins); it is actually built by both the common house martins and other citizens of Chelidoniaball.

Friends (Φρίλοι)

 * Greeceball - My lifetime relative who has influenced me very well first, but thanks for accepting that I am gonna become an Avian country. We share many things in common, but I am becoming more Avian. Well, you know what? Even though I actually became more distinct in culture and interests, I think deep in our hearts, we still share our Hellenic ties and are brothers. (^,^) But stop complaining about me eating insects with tzatziki.
 * - My lifetime relative's son has something to see about me.
 * Cyprusball - Also one of my relative's sons that exist in the real world. It seems like you have troubles getting along with that Turkish part, but you know what? You're forever the one, real, and only Cyprus in our hearts! Anyways, hope you successfully convince them to reunify with you soon, well if both the UK and Turkey allows it.
 * Russiaball - A good friend, good relations. Many of their tourists come to my clay to see the wonders of an advanced civilization of martins, and we both share the populations of martins abroad. :D
 * Serbiaball - Also a good friend, though you were wondering why I like Croatia. Well, it's obvious, but that doesn't relate to you. I also like to see your city looks, seems to be a pleasure. I appreciate that you're one of my relative's best friends.
 * Croatiaball - Too one of my amazing Adriatic neighbors, well close enough. I see your Adriatic coast, beautiful. I see your Adriatic cities, beautiful. I see many of your wonders, beautiful. You know how much I like them. One of my citizens come here as a tourist for vacation, but for the martins, they sometimes come there in Spring for this.
 * North Macedoniaball - An okay friend who I like their destinations. We support each other now after this naming situation you had with my relative and now have good diplomatic ties.
 * Armeniaball - A friend I can understand about, and who is friends with my relative, too. Both Greece and I have the same scripts of our languages, but it's unique; after all, not a single language uses it. You too have such a unique script! I recognize your genocide btw, it never should be denied!
 * Montenegroball - A familiar neighbor. Looking forward to your destinations.
 * Bulgariaball - Here I see something again. You're a good and nice friend, but stop complaining about your yogurt to Greece. Btw, I like the look of your cities and nature.
 * Ukraineball - Many of my citizens come to Mariupol as tourists, too, as we also like to hang out with the Greek minority in Mariupol. My citizens also come to Odessa as tourists too. We have okay relations, but I hope you don't complain about me liking Russia. We too share populations of house martins abroad.
 * Romaniaball - A good Orthodox friend with my relative, heard our ancestors were friends, too.
 * - A peculiarly fascinating country with loads of talking animals. I like animals, too. Shall respect them all!

Neutral (Νωδετερος)

 * Turkeyball - You're an okay friend, fun to like, but plz stop crying about your Ottoman past to Greece and allow with UK to unite Northern Cyprus with real Greek Cyprus. Also, stop complaining about my recently built city that is also made out of mud. You find it not following the modern standards of European cities, but I don't care, it is actually part of my recent culture nowadays. Even many people are okay with it, but I don't know why you aren't. It's not like I have to always follow the standards of many other European cultures. Accept that house martins construct their nests with mud like they construct things in my clay with mud, too. And don't forget, stop denying the Armenian Genocide and accept that you did it.
 * Albaniaball - My neighbor who I like to have fun with, but stop complaining about me not recognizing Kosovo as independent. This is because of Greece and Serbia, and I don't wanna break ties with them.
 * Kosovoball - Also one of my neighbors I would like to be good with, but doesn't want to because I don't recognize them. Don't you understand that I don't want to break ties with my relative and Serbia? Well, forget about it. Btw, my citizens are also in interest with your destinations.
 * Azerbaijanball - You're alright to be with me, but please stop threatening me and complaining about me liking Armenia. Otherwise, we'll break up our newly established diplomatic ties and never be friends. Also, stop bullying Armenia and stop denying the Armenian genocide.
 * UKball - Why did you divide Cyprus into 2 parts? During your empire period, you did own Cyprus, but then you wanted to divide them to 2 parts. I hope you could sign a deal with Turkey and Greece for the 2 parts of Cyprus to unite into one Cyprus if UN allows it. Akrotiri and Dhekelia should also not be retained as your territory. Other than that, we're okay for now.

Flag


The flag of Chelidoniaball is based solely on the plumage coloration of the common house martin flying from the upper view (not including the flight feathers), but the colors also share peculiar meanings.

The blue color symbolizes the sky, where the martins reach up to. The white color symbolizes either the falling clouds that bring peace and harmony, or the advancement of the countryball by house martins upon the dark grey color, which symbolizes urbanization that referring to the dark scheme of the color, connects deeply with nature as well.
