The Badlands is a faction that was formed by various server members who were neutral during the Manberg Rebellion, with the goal of maintaining eternal conflict between the other factions. The original members are BadBoyHalo, Antfrost, and Awesamdude, with Skeppy joining the faction later, just before the Manberg vs Pogtopia War. Originally, the faction's main goal was to use landmarks outside each of the four directions of the server to mark their territory and encase the conflict between Pogtopia and Manberg. This faction is one of the most developed militarily, right behind the Greater Dream SMP Faction, as all of the citizens are equipped with full netherite armor, potions and tridents.
History[]
The Manberg Festival[]
During the Manberg Festival, Schlatt expressed his tyranny when he had a public execution of Tubbo and threatened to execute others. In addition, after the festival, he stated to his remaining cabinet members Quackity and Fundy that one of his policies was to dismantle The Camarvan, a historical landmark. Schlatt received pushback from his cabinet members as well as Bad, Ant, and Sam, who were witnessing the meeting nearby.
The three members were already on bad terms with Schlatt after he had killed two cats for no reason in front of them. These events, coupled with their choice of not wanting to support the anarchist policies of Pogtopia, led them to form a third party, the Badlands. They decided to form a council rather than choose a leader for their faction and planned to recruit other members to their cause. Their first course of action was to claim all of the land around Pogtopia and Manberg, using landmarks such as Eret's castle and Skeppy and Bad's mansion to mark their borders.
The Second Pet War[]
The Second Pet War was a conflict between the Badlands members and the Dream SMP citizens Sapnap and Punz. It began when Punz and Sapnap found a panda, and transported it back to Punz's base, only for them to leave and have it stolen by Ant, who planned to keep it in his animal sanctuary. After Bad and Sam rushed in to defend Ant, and Sapnap chased them away, Punz and Sapnap retrieved the panda, only for Punz to accidentally kill it with the thorns aspect on his armor.
Following several small conflicts and griefings, which led to Sapnap getting killed in battle, the war was resolved through mutual agreement. The war resulted in a supposed victory for the Badlands, although both sides claimed to have gained some victory from the war.
The Manberg vs Pogtopia War[]
As the date of the upcoming war was announced, Bad and Sam both claimed that the Badlands would support the Pogtopian effort against Manberg. However, this was later revealed to be a ruse. A few days later, while the members searched for pandas, Bad discussed their faction's true plans for the war on November 16th. He stated that they would only fight on the side of Pogtopia to keep the conflict going, and would switch to Manberg's side if they began to appear weak. Their main goal was to continue the war for as long as possible and cause eternal chaos between both factions. Their secondary goal was to have their claimed land officially recognized by the King of the Dream SMP, who was Eret at that point in time. Bad designed a banner for their faction, and the members placed these banners at the entrances of Ant’s animal sanctuary, Skeppy and Bad's mansion and Sam’s mountain base, to mark their territory.
Hours before the battle was set to begin, Skeppy officially joined the other three members in the Badlands and helped them gear up for the war. During the war, the four members followed the Pogtopians closely, but did not directly interact with them. As the war concluded, and the Badlands members witnessed L'Manberg form their new government, they switched to Technoblade's side, after he revealed his plans to continue the destruction of L'Manberg using his two withers. Together with Techno, and the Dream SMP's main military force (consisting of Dream, Sapnap and Punz), they formed "Team Chaos" and caused anarchy within the borders of the re-established L'Manberg, destroying the land further and attacking the citizens who tried to fight the withers.
After the withers were killed and Techno began to retreat from the area, the Badlands members gathered together and declared victory for their faction. Their reasoning was that they had achieved their primary goal, and now, there was an entirely new conflict forming between New L'Manberg and the anarchists.
The Badlands members (minus Skeppy) then tried to convince George, the recently crowned King of the Dream SMP, to formally acknowledge the Badlands' independence and land ownership, but George refused their offer. Later on, Bad had a discussion with Dream, where he agreed to recognize George's kingship in exchange for Dream declaring the Badlands as an independent nation, in a similar way to L'Manberg. However, Dream said that it "doesn't mean anything" as the Dream SMP faction would still claim the Badland's territory as their own.
The Dethronement Fallout[]
Following George's dethronement at the hands of Dream, the members of the newly formed nation of Mexican L'Manberg, Quackity, George, and Sapnap, met up with Bad to discuss a possible alliance with the Badlands to help dethrone Eret and reinstate George as king.
Bad stated that the Badlands would only support Mexican L'Manberg if their faction and territories were officially honored by George. Bad reiterated his faction's initial objective, which was to be granted all of the land beyond Eret's Castle and Skeppy and Bad’s mansion. Their land would basically be two infinitely long strips of the entire server, that enclose the central warring nations from two different sides. Bad claimed that he would maintain peace in their own territory, as a neutral third party.
Quackity, George, and Sapnap rejected Bad's offer, stating that he was being unreasonable and asking for too much land. They mention that even the current king, Eret, would share the same opinion as them. They tried to compromise by suggesting that Bad could take half of the proposed land, either the area past the castle or the area past the mansion. However, Bad replied that he wanted no less than 100% of the land, saying that “Trying for all is better than settling for half”.
As Quackity and Bad continued to negotiate, their meeting was interrupted by Dream, who attacked Quackity, forcing the others to flee. Bad ultimately decided not to side with Mexican L'Manberg, planning to find an alternative option to get the Badlands recognized.
Gaining Recognition[]
On December 4th, a document was written by Ant and Sam, after they had collected two mooshrooms that they claimed were "origin cows", which they planned to offer to the Dream SMP's current king, Eret.
The document's contents included terms and conditions that Eret would have to comply to when signed. Ant and Sam planned to ask Bad and Skeppy to review and sign the document before handing it to Eret. The date in which the document was given to Eret remains unknown.

Members[]
- BadBoyHalo (De-facto leader)
- Antfrost
- Awesamdude
- Skeppy
Armory[]
- Enchanted netherite armor and weapons - Due to the Badlands holding a sizeable amount of territory for their small faction, they are able to acquire large amounts of resources quickly, using them for war purposes. They also have one of the best redstone engineers on the server (Sam). This allows them to make extremely efficient automated farms that will allow them to create powerful enchants to apply to their armor and weapons.
- Tridents - The Badlands members all use a riptide trident that allows them to quickly leap travel through water. They also utilize tridents for throwing, allowing them to strike from range with a deadly weapon as well as strike their foes with lightning during a thunderstorm.
- Potions - Unlike most of the factions who use conventional weapons (swords, bows, crossbows, tridents, etc.), the Badlands use potions in a wide scale. Due to their redstone engineer creating an automatic potion brewer (a.k.a "a Drug Machine" dubbed by Tommy), the Badlands can create vast amounts of beneficial potions to enhance their combat effectiveness as well as create some harmful potions that will weaken their enemy's combat effectiveness.
Goals[]
- Stoke the flames of conflict and war
- Sit back and watch the other factions weaken each other out from total war
- Sweep in and assert dominance over the entire server
