The Cærulean Federation is a federation of various coastal and insular settlements, including Prismriver, Death Knell Bay, and Siverny-le-Chateau. It was founded by P_P_A, June, and venomthrope out of a desire to unite the settlements of the southern ocean under one banner, and a desire to bully people with gunboat diplomacy.

Following the update to 1.8.3, the server's population exploded, and new nations and city-states sprung up left and right. With the Mongols having faded into history, it was a peaceful era—too peaceful for June, P_P_A, and venomthrope. June and P_P_A had worked together on the banks of the Maad and considered creating a nation of their own. They got together with venomthrope, who lived nearby and had fought alongside June during the Enchantment Table War, to discuss their plans. They quickly found common grounds in their interest in creating a maritime nation based on seafaring and gunboat diplomacy.

At the time, Sidmarcus01 considered taking a similar turn with his settlement of Siverny. When he was told of the proposed nation by his old ally P_P_A, he immediately expressed interest in associating with the Federation. Shakomatic, unwilling to allow Siverny to secede from the Commonwealth of Breshik, blockaded the settlement.
As its first act as a city-state, Cærula dispatched its navy to break the blockade and to support Siverny in her struggle for independence.

Under the protection of the Cærulean navy, the Sivernians were able to conduct a poll on independence, in which an overwhelming majority expressed their desire to separate from Breshik. Breshikan loyalists, supported by their ilk from the mainland, rose up in the Sivernian province of Watertown. In the following chaos, a Cærulean citizen was killed by one of the rebels. In response, Cærula ordered her naval forces to support the Sivernian military in squashing the rebellion. After a costly siege the rebels were driven out of Watertown, and the region was fully incorporated into independent Siverny.

Siverny joined the Cærulean Federation soon afterwards, after the formalities had been taken care of.

The Cærulean Federation's territories are spread far apart, but connected by the ocean. Besides some unnamed small islands, the nation's possessions includes the capital of Prisimriver, Sigfell Island, Death Knell Bay, Siverny, and the Ostrow Islands. Most of the Federation's lands are located in the southern ocean, though with the accession of Siverny, it reaches as far north as the Bay of Vargisk.

The industrious Cæruleans area on average quite wealthy. The guardian farm of Prismriver makes the nation the server's prime dealer in Prismarine and Fish. Wheat is imported from the neighbouring lands of Transmaad, where Cærulean merchants own vast slave plantations.

Cærula is a maritime nation with a rich tradition of shipbuilding. Its merchant vessels can be found as far away as Breshik, and so too can its warships.
