| - | Infinite Canteen was discovered by [[Blaze Blevins]] in 1924. Blevins was a researcher at the Normal Portal facility, [[the Ring]], and was doing a sweep across dimensional domains. One dimension had interested him, and he walked in. This was considered to be safe, as back then Type 3 dimensions had not been discovered yet. | + | Infinite Canteen was discovered by [[Blaze Blevins]] in 1924.

| Unfortunately, due to the specific properties of the Infinite Canteen, Blevins' fate had been unknown for 10 years until a message from him arrived, detailing his situation. By that time Type 3 dimensions had already been theorized, and Blevins' fate was the first empirical confirmation of the hypothesis. | Unfortunately, due to the specific properties of the Infinite Canteen, Blevins' fate had been unknown for 10 years until a message from him arrived, detailing his situation.

| Karmanta was a colony, organized by [[Dol Portman]] in 1967 in the Infinite Canteen dimension. The initial group consisted of 131 people, exiled to the dimension by a radical religious cult [[Canty Tulty]], of which they themselves had been members. | Karmanta was a colony, organized by [[Dol Portman]] in 1967 in the Infinite Canteen dimension.

| - | While the easiest way to survive was to just choose random directions and walk away, feeding themselves via the Food Drops, Portman suggested they stay at the exact spot they'd arrived at into the dimension, and instead create a colony, united by the correct version of Canty Tulty. This had worked, since the group was exiled due to a disagreement with the rest of the cult, and Portman was able to convince everyone that this was, in fact, a blessing from the [[Indifferent Gods]], and that they should revive the original ways of Canty Tulty. Portman then named the country Karmanta. The etymology of the name is unclear, and by the time the world had heard about Karmanta 10 years later, Portman and some of the original founders have left the colony. | + | While the easiest way to survive was to just choose random directions and walk away, feeding themselves via the Food Drops, Portman suggested they stay at the exact spot they'd arrived at into the dimension, and instead create a colony, united by the correct version of Canty Tulty.

| The idea was to organize groups of scouts, who would collect food from Food Drops and bring it back to the colony, thus providing a constant stream of provisions. The initiative was further bolstered by more people arriving into the same spot, which usually did not happen: previous immigrants to the Infinite Canteen rarely reported seeing anyone else, and seemingly appeared at a random spot. This was later revealed to be a hardware malfunction of one of the Normal Portal slots, which did not shut down correctly and kept the same connection to the Infinite Canteen for a period of around 15 years. | The idea was to organize groups of scouts, who would collect food from Food Drops and bring it back to the colony, thus providing a constant stream of provisions.
