The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Although the Dutch managed to capture most of the coastal areas in Sri Lanka, they were never able to control the Kingdom of Kandy located in the interior of the island.
- Dutch Ceylon existed from 1640 until 1796.
- In the early 17th century, Sri Lanka was partly ruled by the Portuguese and partly by Sri Lankan kingdoms, who were constantly battling the Portuguese.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dutch Ceylon article was read about 41,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 52: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
