Black Plague

The Black Plague, commonly referred as "The Plague", was a disease originated in Britannia.

It was cured by Hollow Sands, and didn't manage to spread. It was a cause of the Bananaramian Crisis.

Origin
The plague originated from a type of herb. While it had generally beneficial effects on cattle, it was much less positive for humans. When it was consumed, people would fall very ill and death was common. The worst part was, rats could carry the disease and spread it to other people, so no one was safe. (The plague was born in Round 47 of The Thrive Odyssey.)

Quarantine
The plague was a danger to society, and Britannia knew this, so quarantine was ordered. This helped reduce the spread of the plague, but some were still getting infected, which caused the Britannian leader to order the army to kill any rat in sight. Many attempts at stopping the plague were done, and Britannia isolated itself.

Bananaramian Crisis
Bananarama knew what was happening in Britannia, and decided to get some infected people, but Britannia refused, causing Bananarama to threaten further action. Many nations condemned Bananarama for this, and eventually formed a coallition, which to this day still stands, the Plague Busters. While they didn't stop the plague, they stopped further Banananamian actions.

Cure
As the plague was happening, one of Bananarama's allies, Hollow Sands, started research on the cure, which was disapproved by the Bananaramian Government. It didn't take long for a cure to be developed, a special soup that could kill the bacteria "Yersinia pestis", Bananarama tried to stop Hollow Sands in sending the cure to Britannia, but it didn't work, as the cure reached Britannia, and eradicated the Black Plague.

New Plague
In Kugelland, after an accident with crops, the people in Stadtburg were close to starting another plague. This event worried the Kugelland Government, as it knew what happened in Britannia. Luckily, no one got infected.

After an attempt at making baths, Kugelland's people started to get sick, and started the Kugelland Plague
