FlandStation is the only active map entirely of Beestation creation. Developed by PigeonVerde in mid 2020, and first put in early rotation in late 2021. This map was intended to be an high population map with features from both Kilo and Pubby, alongside some homebrew additions, leading to an unusual yet unique design for each department leading to the rather atypical structure, alongside it's massive size.
