Society

The architecture in Studland is cheerful and vibrant. Each house is unique, painted with lots of color, making every street and corner a feast for the eyes.

Just like their architecture, the residents of Studland are equally diverse. They come from various star systems, planets and cultures, each contributing to the community in their own way.

The people of Studland seek this diversity in their daily lives as well, through adventure and discovery.

Ooh I like the random colored bricks. It feels very true-to-LEGO. Kind of makes me feel like a tryhard.

Studland is a democratic republic governed by a prime minister and various administrative bodies. Under the leadership of current Prime Minister Staxwell, Studland has made significant investments in interstellar cooperation, expansion, and infrastructure development.

Absolutely love the embracing of bright variety and brick purity! The eclectic array lends itself wonderfully to a impromptu military! Also great job on making the brick weapons cool, yet not too chunky.

Overdose IFV
Infantry Fighting Vehicle




The IFV, while excellent at transporting minifigs safely into the heat of battle, also packs a punch. It comes with a large autocannon, two anti-tank missiles and an RWS.



There's room for 6 Studlanders in the back.



Removing the roof of the vehicle is not recommended, but it provides some fresh air and a quick look inside.



Our driver is not used to seeing this amount of sky.



"Did anyone remember to bring our guns?"
