The Southern Canal Association (SCA) is a group dedicated to extending and maintaining the Southern Canal. As of February of 2023, the canal has amassed a length of 540,000 blocks.

History
With the founding goal of extending the Southern Canal to the 500,000 mark in the overworld, the Southern Canal Association grew in popularity and amassed a lot of new members in its first few months. after gaining many new members, they began steadily progressing towards their goal of 500k

Bases
The Southern Canal Association has had numerous resupply stations built, most of them located directly next to the canal. These bases typically contain a resupply cache of gear, mainly in form of pickaxes and shovels. These resupply station also often contain cookies from Godroster, delivered through one of his so-called 'Cookie Stands'.

Southern Canal Incursion
The Southern Canal Incursion, also known as The Battle of Suez, began at the start of November 2022. The group first realized something was wrong when their members were attacked by Fifth Column members. The Fifth Column announced their group called the Southern Canal Incursion (SCI). SCA quickly retaliated against the incursion, calling in allies such as Imperials, Donfuer, Jew squad and various other groups. The SCA discovered and took down a large obsidian boat, which blocked the canal. It that was partially griefed and contained an elder guardian. As the SCA and DonFuer planned for a parallel canal, a second Fifth Column boat was leaked in in-game chat and in reddit by joppari19. The ship was taken down with ease as no guardians were placed. Simultaneously, DonFuer and the SCA created the X-1000 parallel canal. The parallel canal construction was started, at Z:483,000, and extends all the way to the 500,000 mark. The parallel canal was never finished during the SCI war, but was finished in January of 2023. The canal is 17,000 blocks long, and including the corner stretches, it spans a total of 19.000 blocks. This event lead to Maksitaxi being kicked from the 5th column due to insiding the group, and leaking information to the SCA.

Southern Highway Association
During the canal incursion, griefers realized that the canal could easily be filled with obsidian, creating a lot of work for SCA members. This prompted maksitaxi to create a new war against the canal and SCA. He did this by creating a new group called the Southern Highway Association (SHA) in the start of January of 2023. The SHA proceeded to pave over the entire canal with obsidian, effectively turning it into an overworld highway.

Unga Bunga
During the Southern Canal Incursion, several members set up a small rest-stop town built around a statue they named "Unga Bunga". The village was a side-project started by WikipediaDev and joppari19 in the hopes of motivating the members of the SCA during the Southern Canal Incursion. They would often hold ceremonies at the village where they would offer items to the "Unga Bunga" statue, in the hopes that it would bring them good fortune and luck.

Offered items typically included gold and diamond. Participants of the ceremony once decided to offer WikipediaDev as a sacrifice, placing him within the statue and filling it with lava.
