'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

=== '''Founding'''===

While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.

The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation.

The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.

The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Segezha

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Segezha

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Segezha

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and Segezha, which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

[[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]]

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

==== ''Karelia'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Sortavala

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Sortavala

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Sortavala

Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterized by its dense spruce forests and its many lakes and rivers. In fact, every towns within the Karelian region is located near a body of water. In the south, the town of Sortavala serves as the unofficial capital of the region due to its high population and overall influence. Going North, we find the town of Segezha which is at the midway point of the White Sea - Baltic Sea canals. Lastly, even further North is the inland town of Kalevala which is expected to become an important area for the Russian sport industry.

==== ''Kola'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk

Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

== Territory ==

=== Regions ===
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.

==== Saint Petersburg Greater Area ====

'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg

'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg

This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.

To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.

Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.

== History ==

=== '''Founding'''===

==== Prefounding ====

After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.
 
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].

==== Early issues ====

At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.
 
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement.
 
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.
 
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river.

==== From city to nation ====

Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.
 
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).

=== Towns ===
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.
