Chapuline

The Colony of Chapuline was a Delveran colony located in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It was founded on 31 December 2016 by order of Consul Casey Pemberton, making it the first Delveran colony. Pemberton appointed Samuel Johnson as colonial governor. Originally intended to host a myriad of scientific and agricultural products, nearly all of which never came to fruition, the colony was disestablished in April 2017. The confederal government had invested significant resources in the region and its loss marked a slight financial setback.

Etymology
The colony's name was derived from that of a local genus of grasshopper known as the chapulin.
