Colonialism, a Rare card
Colonialism is the practice of extending and maintaining political, social, economic, and cultural domination over a territory and its people by another people in pursuit of interests defined in an often distant metropole, who also claim superiority.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While frequently an imperialist project, colonialism functions through differentiating between the targeted land and people, and that of the colonizers.
- Rather than annexation, this typically culminates in organizing the colonized into colonies separate to the colonizers' metropole.
- Colonialism sometimes deepens by developing settler colonialism, whereby settlers from one or multiple colonizing metropoles occupy a territory with the intention of partially or completely supplanting the existing Indigenous peoples, possibly amounting to genocide.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Colonialism article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
