Today a new colony was gained in the Philippines, granted by Hon. Jayden Dagsa. The idea for a colony in the Philippines was first proposed by Jackson I to Dagsa on 8 July 2021. They worked on the new colony and on 9 July 2021 officially formed it. It takes a lot of inspiration from the former Commonwealth of the Philippines, which was when the United States controlled the Philippines. The colony is named MacArthur, after American General Douglas MacArthur, who played an important role in the Philippines during WWII, and even served in the Filipino Army as a Field Marshal. The flag is inspired by the current Filipino flag and the coat of arms of the colony is inspired by the coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. Dagsa was granted the Colonizer's Medal for granting the Empire this land, and is the governor of the new colony.
