Lost Coast is a city-state on EarthMC Terra Aurora.&lt;br /&gt;
The city of Lost Coast is the capital of the nation also called Lost Coast. It was created on January 3 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nation of Lost Coast, officially the Free City of Lost Coast, has six towns. The main town and capital is the City of Lost Coast. There are three satellite towns of the City of Lost Coast, considered direct of the city: Grey&#039;s Harbor, Shelter Cove, Blue Lake, and North Lost Coast. There are two sovereign settlements in the nation besies Lost Coast: Alturas and Haines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====&lt;br /&gt;
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#039;s an example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;National History&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== National Transformations ====&lt;br /&gt;
The first California nation on EarthMC was very active and had a large community at the begining of the Aurora server in Spring and Summer of 2022. It became inactive around the time winter arrived and one of the last remaining active and flourishing parts of the nation was Fresno. Some towns left the California nation, two decided to secede and each establish their own nation: San Francisco and Fresno. While San Francisco established Norcallia, now known as norcal, and has remained since its founding a city state who&#039;s only active resident is it&#039;s mayor, Fresno became more active and expanded. &lt;br /&gt;
Fresno established San Joaquin as its independent city-state nation in January 21 2023, and during its peak, San Joaquin had a couple of towns, around half of which no longer exist today. But some still do, those being Visalia, Madera, and Bradley. The leader of Fresno retired from leading around spring of 2023 and asked Rocksthunder of Lost Coast if he could take his x_______&#039;s place as leader of San Joaquin. He chose Rocksthunder specifically because Rocksthunder maintained close relations with the community of San Joaquin even after he moved out of Fresno to establish his own community, and he cared deeply for Fresno even when it was hated by a lot of the EarthMC community for being &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot;. Rocksthunder was open to the idea, but before he could accept, a player known as SSLChampion pressured x________ to let him lead San Joaquin instead. SSL was a long time resident of Fresno but he was also very disliked by the EarthMC community for being a jerk. When x________ conceded and handed leadership over to SSL, SSL soon sold Fresno and San Joaquin to a colonist from the nation of Bavaria, HDKONUK. HDKONUK sent someone to hold on to Fresno. That person kicked all the OG residents of Fresno and looted the entire town. The surrounding suburbs of Fresno, part of the San Joaquin nation became worried and uncertain of their future in the nation, and the region as a whole. Rocksthunder, the mayor of Lost Coast, convinced HDKONUK to let him buy back the nation from him, but HDKONUK gave Rocksthunder just 2 weeks to get 2,048 gold for it. But he, along with the help of one of the most veteran and loyal residents of Lost Coast, Scotttishrum, mined extensively for the gold and they got it. After paying, Rocksthunder became the new leader of San Joaquin. &lt;br /&gt;
Rocksthunder renamed San Joaquin to Jefferson, and led the nation to heights that a California nation never before and never again would achieve on the server. At its peak, the nation owned around ~95% of all territory in California (essentially uniting California for the first and only time in the server), around 500 chunks of land outside of California, and was the most active nation in the Americas for around a month. Jefferson&#039;s success relied heavily on Rocksthunder&#039;s leadership, and without it it would not have survived, that&#039;s why Rocksthunder decided to merge the nation with the more democratic and stable Cascadia further north when he retired at the end of 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he did not disband the nation; instead he kept it as a city-state held by his friend in the village of Alturas for until Christmas day of 2024, when Rocksthunder/Lost Coast decided to secede from Cascadia for several reasons (the deepstate government attempted to sabotaged Rocksthunder/Lost Coast twice, the community became more toxic, the active player base was mostly replaced by fake and unfriendly newcomers, etc) and the capital of Jefferson was moved to Lost Coast, and subsequently the nation was renamed to Lost Coast, ending the nearly two-year-long saga of the nation- from Fresno, San Joaquin to Lost Coast, Lost Coast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== City of Lost Coast ====&lt;br /&gt;
The founder of Lost Coast first joined Fresno in December of 2022, during the first major activity drought in California and when the region was split by an inactive California in the center and south, and an expansionist Cascadia in the north. Rocks&lt;br /&gt;

=== Lost Coast Historic Sites ===&lt;br /&gt;
The City of Lost Coast has dozes of preserved historic sites scattered across the city and its suburbs (Shelter Cove, Blue Lake, Grey&#039;s Harbor, North Lost Coast). Some of these historic sites are nearly three years old.&lt;br /&gt;
Outside of the City of Lost Coast, there is only one historic site but it is the largest in the nation:&lt;br /&gt;
==== National Historic Site of Alturas ====&lt;br /&gt;
Alturas is the the fifth oldest settlement in the California area, and the only one of the five to not be based off a major city (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Fresno). Instead, Alturas is based off a tiny village in the most sparsley populated region of California. Similar to the IRL region it&#039;s in, Alturas has remained frozen in time since around the time it was founded in the early days of the server. There are a couple of buildings, farms, and the 3rd largest naturally-generated lake in California. It is the best preserved town in all of California, and the one to have recieved the least updates and modifications over the years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lost Coast is a province of The Republic, which makes it a democracy. Aside from The Republic&#039;s government, Lost Coast doesn&#039;t have much of a government because of its small size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Military of Lost Coast has 6 planes, 1 Aircraft Carrier, 1 U-Boat, and 1 Battleship. All are stationed in Shelter Cove aside from the Battleship which is staitioned in Haines. The military used to also own 14 tanks and 3 more planes, but they have decomissioned ever since the official military base of the nation at Shelter Cove was shut down to make space. Despite its small size, the fleet of the Military is much larger than that of many other nations, especially ones the size of Lost Coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Buildings ==&lt;br /&gt;
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any &amp;quot;territory&amp;quot; it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Etymology ==&lt;br /&gt;
The City of Lost Coast has a rich and diverse etymology that has been influenced by all the nations and meganations it has been in.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Local ===&lt;br /&gt;
=== Californian ===&lt;br /&gt;
=== Russian ===&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mexican ===&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cascadian ===&lt;br /&gt;

==== Residets that became Mayors ====&lt;br /&gt;
==== R&lt;br /&gt;
== National Subdivisions ==&lt;br /&gt;
This isn&#039;t required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it&#039;s more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it&#039;s at your discretion.&lt;br /&gt;
== Other Recommended Headings ==&lt;br /&gt;
The following are not required but it&#039;s recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Affiliation&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Parties&lt;br /&gt;
* Politics&lt;br /&gt;
* Economics (This may be made required depending on it&#039;s role in terra nova)&lt;br /&gt;
* Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)&lt;br /&gt;
* Maps&lt;br /&gt;
* Pictures&lt;br /&gt;
* Culture&lt;br /&gt;
* Navy (gl making this work though lol)&lt;br /&gt;
* Anything else that isn&#039;t ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki&lt;br /&gt;

The first California nation on EarthMC was very active and had a large community at the begining of the Aurora server in Spring and Summer of 2022.

Some towns left the California nation, two decided to secede and each establish their own nation: San Francisco and Fresno.

Fresno established San Joaquin as its independent city-state nation in January 21 2023, and during its peak, San Joaquin had a couple of towns, around half of which no longer exist today. But some still do, those being Visalia, Madera, and Bradley. The leader of Fresno retired from leading around spring of 2023 and asked Rocksthunder of Lost Coast if he could take his x_______&#039;s place as leader of San Joaquin. He chose Rocksthunder specifically because Rocksthunder maintained close relations with the community of San Joaquin even after he moved out of Fresno to establish his own community, and he cared deeply for Fresno even when it was hated by a lot of the EarthMC community for being &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot;. Rocksthunder was open to the idea, but before he could accept, a player known as SSLChampion pressured x________ to let him lead San Joaquin instead. SSL was a long time resident of Fresno but he was also very disliked by the EarthMC community for being a jerk. When x________ conceded and handed leadership over to SSL, SSL soon sold Fresno and San Joaquin to a colonist from the nation of Bavaria, HDKONUK. HDKONUK sent someone to hold on to Fresno. That person kicked all the OG residents of Fresno and looted the entire town. The surrounding suburbs of Fresno, part of the San Joaquin nation became worried and uncertain of their future in the nation, and the region as a whole.

But he, along with the help of one of the most veteran and loyal residents of Lost Coast, Scotttishrum, mined extensively for the gold and they got it.

== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military ==&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, it&#039;s important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that&#039;s another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Buildings ==&lt;br /&gt;
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any &amp;quot;territory&amp;quot; it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is a city-state on EarthMC Terra Aurora.&lt;br /&gt;
The city of Lost Coast is the capital of the nation also called Lost Coast. It was created on January 3 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nation of Lost Coast, officially the Free City of Lost Coast, has six towns. The main town and capital is the City of Lost Coast. There are three satellite towns of the City of Lost Coast, considered direct of the city: Grey&#039;s Harbor, Shelter Cove, and Blue Lake. There are two sovereign settlements in the nation besies Lost Coast: Alturas and Haines. &lt;br /&gt;

=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====&lt;br /&gt;
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#039;s an example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;National History&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== National Transformations ====&lt;br /&gt;
The first California nation on EarthMC was very active and had a large community at the begining of the Aurora server in Spring and Summer of 2022. It became inactive around the time winter arrived and one of the last remaining active and flourishing parts of the nation was Fresno. Some towns left the California nation, two decided to secede and each establish their own nation: San Francisco and Fresno. While San Francisco established Norcallia, now known as norcal, and has remained since its founding a city state who&#039;s only active resident is it&#039;s mayor, Fresno became more active and expanded. &lt;br /&gt;
Fresno established San Joaquin as its independent city-state nation in January 21 2023, and during its peak, San Joaquin had a couple of towns, around half of which no longer exist today. But some still do, those being Visalia, Madera, and Bradley. The leader of Fresno retired from leading around spring of 2023 and asked Rocksthunder of Lost Coast if he could take his x_______&#039;s place as leader of San Joaquin. He chose Rocksthunder specifically because Rocksthunder maintained close relations with the community of San Joaquin even after he moved out of Fresno to establish his own community, and he cared deeply for Fresno even when it was hated by a lot of the EarthMC community for being &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot;. Rocksthunder was open to the idea, but before he could accept, a player known as SSLChampion pressured x________ to let him lead San Joaquin instead. SSL was a long time resident of Fresno but he was also very disliked by the EarthMC community for being a jerk. When x________ conceded and handed leadership over to SSL, SSL soon sold Fresno and San Joaquin to a colonist from the nation of Bavaria, HDKONUK. HDKONUK sent someone to hold on to Fresno. That person kicked all the OG residents of Fresno and looted the entire town. The surrounding suburbs of Fresno, part of the San Joaquin nation became worried and uncertain of their future in the nation, and the region as a whole. Rocksthunder, the mayor of Lost Coast, convinced HDKONUK to let him buy back the nation from him, but HDKONUK gave Rocksthunder just 2 weeks to get 2,048 gold for it. But he, along with the help of one of the most veteran and loyal residents of Lost Coast, Scotttishrum, mined extensively for the gold and they got it. After paying, Rocksthunder became the new leader of San Joaquin. &lt;br /&gt;
Rocksthunder renamed San Joaquin to Jefferson, and led the nation to heights that a California nation never before and never again would achieve on the server. At its peak, the nation owned around ~95% of all territory in California (essentially uniting California for the first and only time in the server), around 500 chunks of land outside of California, and was the most active nation in the Americas for around a month. Jefferson&#039;s success relied heavily on Rocksthunder&#039;s leadership, and without it it would not have survived, that&#039;s why Rocksthunder decided to merge the nation with the more democratic and stable Cascadia further north when he retired at the end of 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he did not disband the nation; instead he kept it as a city-state held by his friend in the village of Alturas for until Christmas day of 2024, when Rocksthunder/Lost Coast decided to secede from Cascadia for several reasons (the deepstate government attempted to sabotaged Rocksthunder/Lost Coast twice, the community became more toxic, the active player base was mostly replaced by fake and unfriendly newcomers, etc) and the capital of Jefferson was moved to Lost Coast, and subsequently the nation was renamed to Lost Coast, ending the nearly two-year-long saga of the nation- from Fresno, San Joaquin to Lost Coast, Lost Coast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== City of Lost Coast ====&lt;br /&gt;
The founder of Lost Coast first joined Fresno in December of 2022, during the first major activity drought in California and when the region was split by an inactive California in the center and south, and an expansionist Cascadia in the north. Rocks&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military ==&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, it&#039;s important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that&#039;s another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Buildings ==&lt;br /&gt;
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any &amp;quot;territory&amp;quot; it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable People ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it&#039;s easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:&lt;br /&gt;
* Rocksthunder&lt;br /&gt;

* JAGL05&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

It was created on January 21 2023 and has six towns: The City of Lost Coast, three satellite towns of Lost Coast (Grey&#039;s Harbor, Blue Lake, Shelter Cove), as well as the village of Haines and the National Historic Village of Alturas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but it&#039;s better to use headings as intended. So for example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is a city in EarthMC on the North Coast of California, part of the nation of Texas. It was founded on January 3rd, 2023 and is based on IRL Humboldt County. Lost Coast is the historic and cultural core of California&#039;s Far North region. The city is divided into 2 towny jurisdictions, Lost Coast and South Lost Coast, but they operate as one, led by Rocksthunder. Lost Coast is divided into 9 main districts, Happy Valley/Uptown, Arcata Square/Lost Coast Central, Eureka, Cape Mendocino/South Eureka, Bear Valley, Half Moon Bay/South Grey&#039;s Harbor, Redwoods, Hillcrest, and Humboldt Hills/Roseville. The town has been part of 7 different nations which are as follows (in order), Cascadia, RMF, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Cascadia, Jefferson, Cascadia, Texas. The city incorporates many different architectural styles and has many unique buildings that give the city a special feel. There are many nooks and crannies to explore in Lost Coast, and the city is full of signs and books to read up on lore about the town, of which is extensively documented and detailed. Some points of interest include the Lost Coast record store, the bear-shaped lake at Bear Valley, the first building ever built in the region- also known as the Murder House, the City Hall of Lost Coast, the Redwoods Castle, the Radio Tower, the SS Pacific, and the Aircraft Carrier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but it&#039;s better to use headings as intended. So for example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====&lt;br /&gt;
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#039;s an example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;National History&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== &#039;&#039;National Transformations&#039;&#039; ====&lt;br /&gt;
The first California nation on EarthMC was very active and had a large community at the begining of the Aurora server in Spring and Summer of 2022. It became inactive around the time winter arrived and one of the last remaining active and flourishing parts of the nation was Fresno. Some towns left the California nation, two decided to secede and each establish their own nation: San Francisco and Fresno. While San Francisco established Norcallia, now known as norcal, and has remained since its founding a city state who&#039;s only active resident is it&#039;s mayor, Fresno became more active and expanded. &lt;br /&gt;
Fresno established San Joaquin as its independent city-state nation in January 21 2023, and during its peak, San Joaquin had a couple of towns, around half of which no longer exist today. But some still do, those being Visalia, Madera, and Bradley. The leader of Fresno retired from leading around spring of 2023 and asked Rocksthunder of Lost Coast if he could take his x_______&#039;s place as leader of San Joaquin. He chose Rocksthunder specifically because Rocksthunder maintained close relations with the community of San Joaquin even after he moved out of Fresno to establish his own community, and he cared deeply for Fresno even when it was hated by a lot of the EarthMC community for being &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot;. Rocksthunder was open to the idea, but before he could accept, a player known as SSLChampion pressured x________ to let him lead San Joaquin instead. SSL was a long time resident of Fresno but he was also very disliked by the EarthMC community for being a jerk. When x________ conceded and handed leadership over to SSL, SSL soon sold Fresno and San Joaquin to a colonist from the nation of Bavaria, HDKONUK. HDKONUK sent someone to hold on to Fresno. That person kicked all the OG residents of Fresno and looted the entire town. The surrounding suburbs of Fresno, part of the San Joaquin nation became worried and uncertain of their future in the nation, and the region as a whole. Rocksthunder, the mayor of Lost Coast, convinced HDKONUK to let him buy back the nation from him, but HDKONUK gave Rocksthunder just 2 weeks to get 2,048 gold for it. But he, along with the help of one of the most veteran and loyal residents of Lost Coast, Scotttishrum, mined extensively for the gold and they got it. After paying, Rocksthunder became the new leader of San Joaquin. &lt;br /&gt;
Rocksthunder renamed San Joaquin to Jefferson, and led the nation to heights that a California nation never before and never again would achieve on the server. At its peak, the nation owned around ~95% of all territory in California (essentially uniting California for the first and only time in the server), around 500 chunks of land outside of California, and was the most active nation in the Americas for around a month. Jefferson&#039;s success relied heavily on Rocksthunder&#039;s leadership, and without it it would not have survived, that&#039;s why Rocksthunder decided to merge the nation with the more democratic and stable Cascadia further north when he retired at the end of 2023.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he did not disband the nation; instead he kept it as a city-state held by his friend in the village of Alturas for until Christmas day of 2024, when Rocksthunder/Lost Coast decided to secede from Cascadia for several reasons (the deepstate government attempted to sabotaged Rocksthunder/Lost Coast twice, the community became more toxic, the active player base was mostly replaced by fake and unfriendly newcomers, etc) and the capital of Jefferson was moved to Lost Coast, and subsequently the nation was renamed to Lost Coast, ending the nearly two-year-long saga of the nation- from Fresno, San Joaquin to Lost Coast, Lost Coast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== City of Lost Coast ====&lt;br /&gt;
The founder of Lost Coast first joined Fresno in December of 2022, during the first major activity drought in California and when the region was split by an inactive California in the center and south, and an expansionist Cascadia in the north. Rocks&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military ==&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, it&#039;s important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that&#039;s another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Buildings ==&lt;br /&gt;
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any &amp;quot;territory&amp;quot; it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable People ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it&#039;s easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:&lt;br /&gt;
* Rocksthunder&lt;br /&gt;
* CoderHarris&lt;br /&gt;
* JAGL05&lt;br /&gt;
* KagChub&lt;br /&gt;
* Scotttishrum&lt;br /&gt;
* John_By&lt;br /&gt;
* Kombolizmo&lt;br /&gt;
* JustDriveTrucks&lt;br /&gt;
* Brylol1201&lt;br /&gt;
* Pyro_t2&lt;br /&gt;
* LanyardTextile&lt;br /&gt;
* friendofmario&lt;br /&gt;
* Tomatillo1&lt;br /&gt;
* Yarou&lt;br /&gt;
* Clubby20&lt;br /&gt;
* MartoGamer&lt;br /&gt;
* ALuckyCrafter&lt;br /&gt;
* DaMintLady&lt;br /&gt;
* Arielblablabla&lt;br /&gt;
* NotMakarov&lt;br /&gt;
* Jerome_Engineer&lt;br /&gt;
* Maggen2012&lt;br /&gt;
* x________&lt;br /&gt;
* Psllonllc&lt;br /&gt;
* Falserose&lt;br /&gt;
* SkittlesFairy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== National Subdivisions ==&lt;br /&gt;
This isn&#039;t required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it&#039;s more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it&#039;s at your discretion.&lt;br /&gt;
== Other Recommended Headings ==&lt;br /&gt;
The following are not required but it&#039;s recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Affiliation&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Parties&lt;br /&gt;
* Politics&lt;br /&gt;
* Economics (This may be made required depending on it&#039;s role in terra nova)&lt;br /&gt;
* Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)&lt;br /&gt;
* Maps&lt;br /&gt;
* Pictures&lt;br /&gt;
* Culture&lt;br /&gt;
* Navy (gl making this work though lol)&lt;br /&gt;
* Anything else that isn&#039;t ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki&lt;br /&gt;

Here you can write general details on your nation, such as location, the date it started, basic history, members, etc. You may want to put specifics only in the infobox of the nation, but it&#039;s totally up to you. Because nations are larger and more importantly they also have much higher standards than town or player articles. Nations need a flag and or banner on the wiki, however, there are no standards as long as it&#039;s not edgy for no reason or otherwise randomly retarded. It&#039;s lenient though and at moderator discretion. This description will probably be much longer than that of other pages. Infoboxes are required.&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
This section is NOT optional, as it will end up being the bulk of your article. It is however lenient and not much has to be written, as long as it has some subdivisions. Subdividing should be done in longer, broader time periods, and then smaller specific ones. How long or short you want each period to be is totally up to you. At first, using only one subdivision if fine, but unlike player articles nations tend to have a lot of history so it&#039;s required to eventually add more. If you have trouble making more subdivisions or writing about the history of the town contact a mod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but it&#039;s better to use headings as intended. So for example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====&lt;br /&gt;
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heres an example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Early History&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Template1 ====&lt;br /&gt;
After extensive talks with EchoOcelot Paperpikmin established a new German state in order to recreate the German nation. Initially, success was seen, with a new town established and Berlin regained. This slowed as Paperpikmin became incredibly busy off the server. Nonetheless, as November arrived the nation saw continued legitimacy and growth, however, it is slow due to the major towns of Leipzig and Hamburg proving an enormous obstacle. Many new alliances were quickly established, and diplomatic talks were made initially.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Template2 ====&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see, it looks relatively neat when there is enough text in each subdivision, so this is the recommended route to take.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.&lt;br /&gt;

Here you can write general details on your nation, such as location, the date it started, basic history, members, etc. You may want to put specifics only in the infobox of the nation, but it&#039;s totally up to you. Because nations are larger and more importantly they also have much higher standards than town or player articles. Nations need a flag and or banner on the wiki, however, there are no standards as long as it&#039;s not edgy for no reason or otherwise randomly retarded. It&#039;s lenient though and at moderator discretion. This description will probably be much longer than that of other pages. Infoboxes are required.&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
This section is NOT optional, as it will end up being the bulk of your article. It is however lenient and not much has to be written, as long as it has some subdivisions. Subdividing should be done in longer, broader time periods, and then smaller specific ones. How long or short you want each period to be is totally up to you. At first, using only one subdivision if fine, but unlike player articles nations tend to have a lot of history so it&#039;s required to eventually add more. If you have trouble making more subdivisions or writing about the history of the town contact a mod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but it&#039;s better to use headings as intended. So for example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====&lt;br /&gt;
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heres an example:&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;&#039;&#039;Early History&#039;&#039;&#039; ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Template1 ====&lt;br /&gt;
After extensive talks with EchoOcelot Paperpikmin established a new German state in order to recreate the German nation. Initially, success was seen, with a new town established and Berlin regained. This slowed as Paperpikmin became incredibly busy off the server. Nonetheless, as November arrived the nation saw continued legitimacy and growth, however, it is slow due to the major towns of Leipzig and Hamburg proving an enormous obstacle. Many new alliances were quickly established, and diplomatic talks were made initially.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Template2 ====&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see, it looks relatively neat when there is enough text in each subdivision, so this is the recommended route to take.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military ==&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, it&#039;s important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that&#039;s another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Buildings ==&lt;br /&gt;
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any &amp;quot;territory&amp;quot; it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable People ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it&#039;s easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:&lt;br /&gt;
* Player 1&lt;br /&gt;
* Player 2&lt;br /&gt;
* WTF&lt;br /&gt;
* Player 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== National Subdivisions ==&lt;br /&gt;
This isn&#039;t required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it&#039;s more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it&#039;s at your discretion.&lt;br /&gt;
== Other Recommended Headings ==&lt;br /&gt;
The following are not required but it&#039;s recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Affiliation&lt;br /&gt;
* Political Parties&lt;br /&gt;
* Politics&lt;br /&gt;
* Economics (This may be made required depending on it&#039;s role in terra nova)&lt;br /&gt;
* Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)&lt;br /&gt;
* Maps&lt;br /&gt;
* Pictures&lt;br /&gt;
* Culture&lt;br /&gt;
* Navy (gl making this work though lol)&lt;br /&gt;
* Anything else that isn&#039;t ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its most populated city Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Khergit Khanate is the easternmost town in Jefferson, bordering two foreign capitals, Las Vegas and Night City. Khergit is a fortress city, with tall walls shielding it from the outside world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located.

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;

The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has tall glass walls to shield it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two warplanes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout its history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, but it is also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley, there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey by boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;

The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and economic centers. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months, however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

===Northeast Gyre===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Northeast Gyre is one of the few underwater cities on the server. Being the most remote town in Jefferson, Northeast Gyre is very hard to get to and there isn&#039;t an entrance to it by boat, so travelers must either spawn there or be trusted in the town to get it. Northeast Gyre is the capital of Jefferson state-owned nation of Pacific Ocean, which at its greatest extent included Lost Coast and the now-deleted town of Fish Island. Northeast Gyre has a large glass dome underwater visible from the map.

Founded: June 15, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: July 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Redwood City is a city located in the region of northeast California. It is one of the only towns in the Western Hemisphere to have a very prominent European style of architecture, in Redwood City&#039;s case that style is Dutch with a hint of Polish. Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Redwood City in recent months has become a hotspot for Redstone technology in the nation, with the town having more Redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Redwood City is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, some of the few Redwood trees on the server which is where the town gets its name from, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. Redwood City has undergone two name changes, first being called San Fernando, then Dummeldorp, and now Redwood City. After state intervention in the city put an end to separatist movements resulting in the exile of the 3rd mayor of the town, the city became the new capital of the nation and has held the title ever since.&lt;br /&gt;

Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit-hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight. All buildings in Lassen are open to the public so that everyone can see their beauty in full display.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its most populated city Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has tall glass walls to shield it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two warplanes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout its history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Being a small and cozy oasis in a very large desert, Pyramid Lake has many local businesses such as the Pyramid Credit Union, Pyramid Organics, the Lakeside Inn, and PL Mining Co. The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, but it is also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tulare Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley, there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Clovis is a town located between Fresno and Visalia. It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;

The western part of town is in the San Joaquin Valley, the central part is in the savannah steppe lands, and the eastern part is directly on the Sierra Nevada mountains. It&#039;s surrounded by forests and grasslands, with vines lining many of its buildings. It also has one of Jefferson&#039;s prettiest government buildings, the Madera City Hall. Madera is unique among Jefferson towns due to the fact that it is the only one to have remained completely unchanged since the early San Joaquin era of Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey by boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;

Redwood City is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, some of the few Redwood trees on the server which is where the town gets its name from, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. Redwood City has undergone two name changes, first being called San Fernando, then Dummeldorp, and now Redwood City.

Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit-hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight. All buildings in Lassen are open to the public so that everyone can see their beauty in full display.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;

One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its most populated city Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Khergit Khanate is the easternmost town in Jefferson, bordering two foreign capitals, Las Vegas and Night City. Khergit is a fortress city, with tall walls shielding it from the outside world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has tall glass walls to shield it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two warplanes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout its history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Passage Bay=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 19, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Passage Bay is located in real-life wine country California. Consisting of a primarily Savanah landscape, the town enjoys warm and pleasant weather, free from any rain other towns get in the server. Passage Bay is built mostly of brick and sandstone, which gives it a distinctly Mediterranean look and feel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[https://wiki.earthmc.net/wiki/Pyramid_Lake Pyramid Lake]=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 22, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

Being a small and cozy oasis in a very large desert, Pyramid Lake has many local businesses such as the Pyramid Credit Union, Pyramid Organics, the Lakeside Inn, and PL Mining Co. The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, but it is also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tulare Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Tulare Republic is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and covers two main districts. The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley, there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Clovis is a town located between Fresno and Visalia. It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Madera===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 18, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Madera is a small suburb north of Fresno. The western part of town is in the San Joaquin Valley, the central part is in the savannah steppe lands, and the eastern part is directly on the Sierra Nevada mountains. It&#039;s surrounded by forests and grasslands, with vines lining many of its buildings. It also has one of Jefferson&#039;s prettiest government buildings, the Madera City Hall. Madera is unique among Jefferson towns due to the fact that it is the only one to have remained completely unchanged since the early San Joaquin era of Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey by boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Umatilla County=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 25, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Umatilla County is a beautiful and historic Jefferson town. Surrounded by dense green forests on three sides and an arid high desert to the south, Umatilla is located in the heart of Eastern Oregon. The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and economic centers. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months, however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Northeast Gyre===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Northeast Gyre is one of the few underwater cities on the server. Being the most remote town in Jefferson, Northeast Gyre is very hard to get to and there isn&#039;t an entrance to it by boat, so travelers must either spawn there or be trusted in the town to get it. Northeast Gyre is the capital of Jefferson state-owned nation of Pacific Ocean, which at its greatest extent included Lost Coast and the now-deleted town of Fish Island. Northeast Gyre has a large glass dome underwater visible from the map. Underground is where all the residential and commercial plots are, and it&#039;s where Jefferson&#039;s primary potion station is located.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Monterey Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: June 20, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Founded off the ruble of the fallen Carson_City, Mammoth is a town on the edge of the towering Sierra Nevada mountains. The town stretches from deep in the mountains to out in the high desert where one of California&#039;s few lakes on EMC can be found, known as Mono. Mammoth protects a large swath of Sierra Nevada forests and mountains for visitors to enjoy hiking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hill Valley=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Hill Valley is a city located in the forests of coastal Northern California. It is a city built from ruins, as before the present-day Hill Valley there existed a town there by the same name and the same mayor that fell due to inactivity. The city is home to a bustling ring road with several cars in it. By far the most prominent building in town would be the Hill Valley City Hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fort Elko=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 15, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fort Elko is a town in the middle of the Northern Nevada desert. It was originally founded as an outpost for Lost Coast but has since become an outpost for the nation as a whole. Fort Elko, along with its neighbor town Pyramid Lake, is very military-centered. The layout of the city places the tall outpost tower in the center, with many military/government buildings surrounding it and more residential buildings in the outskirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meadow Valley=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Meadow Valley is located directly west of Lake Tahoe in the lush Sierra Nevadas. This town has been demolished and rebuilt 2 times, with its current appearance hosting Jefferson&#039;s first Subway restaurant and plenty of open green spaces with random machinery and altars scattered throughout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood City=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: July 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Redwood City is a city located in the region of northeast California. It is one of the only towns in the Western Hemisphere to have a very prominent European style of architecture, in Redwood City&#039;s case that style is Dutch with a hint of Polish. Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Redwood City in recent months has become a hotspot for Redstone technology in the nation, with the town having more Redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Redwood City is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, some of the few Redwood trees on the server which is where the town gets its name from, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. Redwood City has undergone two name changes, first being called San Fernando, then Dummeldorp, and now Redwood City. After state intervention in the city put an end to separatist movements resulting in the exile of the 3rd mayor of the town, the city became the new capital of the nation and has held the title ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lassen=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: July 6, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lassen is a small village located on the foothills of the snowy Mt Shasta, the most prominent mountain peak in California. Covered in dense green forests, Lassen is a small town not home to many buildings but the ones it has are some of the prettiest in the nation. Following a primarily cabin style of architecture, Lassen is the coziest town in Jefferson and offers lots to do in its borders. For hikers, there is of course the towering Mt. Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit-hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight. All buildings in Lassen are open to the public so that everyone can see their beauty in full display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Stockton=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: July 18, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its most populated city Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has tall glass walls to shield it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two warplanes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout its history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It is a southeastern suburb of Fresno and is one of only 2 cities in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it bordering Jefferson towns on all sides. The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;

- Passage Bay is located in real-life wine country California. Consisting of a primarily Savanah landscape, the town enjoys warm and pleasant weather, free from any rain other towns get in the server. Passage Bay is built mostly of brick and sandstone, which gives it a distinctly Mediterranean look and feel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Being a small and cozy oasis in a very large desert, Pyramid Lake has many local businesses such as the Pyramid Credit Union, Pyramid Organics, the Lakeside Inn, and PL Mining Co. The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, but it is also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tulare Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Tulare Republic is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and covers two main districts. The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley, there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Clovis is a town located between Fresno and Visalia. It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;

The western part of town is in the San Joaquin Valley, the central part is in the savannah steppe lands, and the eastern part is directly on the Sierra Nevada mountains. It&#039;s surrounded by forests and grasslands, with vines lining many of its buildings. It also has one of Jefferson&#039;s prettiest government buildings, the Madera City Hall. Madera is unique among Jefferson towns due to the fact that it is the only one to have remained completely unchanged since the early San Joaquin era of Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey by boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;

Redwood City is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, some of the few Redwood trees on the server which is where the town gets its name from, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. Redwood City has undergone two name changes, first being called San Fernando, then Dummeldorp, and now Redwood City. After state intervention in the city put an end to separatist movements resulting in the exile of the 3rd mayor of the town, the city became the new capital of the nation and has held the title ever since.&lt;br /&gt;

Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit-hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight.

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be the capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west.

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day, San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20, 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and ranks were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26, 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28, 2023. On August 10, the meganation was renamed to the Sequoia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and its towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located.

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;

Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;

Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley.

Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;

Redwood City is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, some of the few Redwood trees on the server which is where the town gets its name from, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. Redwood City has undergone two name changes, first being called San Fernando, then Dummeldorp, and now Redwood City. After state intervention in the city put an end to separatist movements resulted in exile of the 3rd mayor of the town, the city became the new capital of the nation and has held the title ever since.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s largest city, is geographically located.

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 13 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, Lindesberg, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;

Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;

Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city.

Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California.

Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In Palm Valley there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare.

Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;

- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;

Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;

It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savannah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;

Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city.

On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sierra=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Sierran Oblast, the largest and most populated region of the Central California Metroplex which spans from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation, back when it was called San Joaquin. Aside from the two major twin cities, the Sierran Oblast has 10 other towns. The largest is Azure Bay, Jefferson&#039;s flagship beach town and a popular vacation spot for many Sierrans. Aside from Azure Bay, the towns of Visalia, Clovis, and Madera are the next most interconnected towns in the region and are more reminiscent of neighborhoods than separate towns. Bradley, San Jose, and Stockton are more suburban than urban, and Yosemite and Mammoth are more exurban as they are the only towns in the Oblast to not border one of the two twin cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc Oblast is the oblast with the most towns, consisting of 14. Its interior towns include the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-themed town of Redwood City to the east, the historic town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the valley towns of Eureka and Santa rosa, and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. On its coast are the towns of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness, and a shared location of being in California&#039;s Far North.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Upland===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Upland Oblast consists of the 6 towns in Jefferson furthest from its coast, and all but one are the northernmost in the nation. Modoc includes the towns of Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, Fort Elko, and Northeast Gyre. These towns are all far away from the closest other Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Hakai Lodge and Mazama are in British Columbia, Umatilla is in Oregon, and Northeast Gyre is in the Pacific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bear===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Bear Oblast consists of 5 towns: the oldest and largest town by area in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, the fortress city of Khergit Khanate, and the Baja port town of Rosarito. These 4 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;

Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;

Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elko===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Elko Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast, Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, and Fort Elko which is where this oblast derives it&#039;s name from. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Southern Oblast consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. These 3 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge, Northeast Gyre, and Rosarito, which despite being on opposite sides of the nation, all share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other towns, even coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, Northeast Gyre is an entirely underwater city, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 large boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;

San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Khergit Khanate is the easternmost town in Jefferson, bordering two foreign capitals, Las Vegas and Night City. Khergit is a fortress city, with tall walls shielding it from the outside world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has has tall glass walls to shiled it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two war planes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Passage Bay=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 19, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Passage Bay is located in real-life wine country California. Consisting of a primarily Savanah landscape, the town enjoys warm and pleasant weather, free from any rain other towns get in the server. Passage Bay is built mostly of brick and sandstone, which gives it a distinctly Mediterranean look and feel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

For being a small and cozy oasis in a very large desert, Pyramid Lake has many local businesses such as the Pyramid Credit Union, Pyramid Organics, the Lakeside Inn, and PL Mining Co. The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tulare Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Tulare Republic is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and covers two main districts. The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started with when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Clovis is a town located between Fresno and Visalia. It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Madera===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 18, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Madera is a small suburb north of Fresno. The western part of town is in the San Joaquin Valley, the central part is in the savannah steppe lands, and the eastern part is directly on the Sierra Nevada mountains. It&#039;s surrounded by forests and grasslands, with vines lining many of its buildings. It also has one of Jefferson&#039;s prettiest government buildings, the Madera City Hall. Madera is unique among Jefferson towns due to the fact that it is the only one to have remained completely unchanged since the early San Joaquin era of Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. It is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins and lighthouses that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island. There used to be a town called Hooded near Hakai Lodge but it has since fallen and been annexed into Hakai, with a small replica of Hooded&#039;s lighthouse being added to the north side of Hakai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Umatilla County=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 25, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Umatilla County is a beautiful and historic Jefferson town. Surrounded by dense green forests on three sides and an arid high desert to the south, Umatilla is located in the heart of Eastern Oregon. The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Northeast Gyre===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Northeast Gyre is one of the few underwater cities on the server. Being the most remote town in Jefferson, Northeast Gyre is very hard to get to and there isn&#039;t an entrance to it by boat, so travelers must either spawn there or be trusted in the town to get it. Northeast Gyre was once the capital of the now-disbanded nation of Pacific Ocean, which at its greatest extent included Lost Coast and the now-deleted town of Fish Island. Northeast Gyre has a large glass dome under water visible from the map. Underground is where all the residential and commercial plots are, and its where Jefferson&#039;s primary potion station is located.  &lt;br /&gt;

Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight.

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elko===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Elko Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast, Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, and Fort Elko which is where this oblast derives it&#039;s name from. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Southern Oblast consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. These 3 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge, Northeast Gyre, and Rosarito, which despite being on opposite sides of the nation, all share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other towns, even coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, Northeast Gyre is an entirely underwater city, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 large boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 35 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC. During Lost Coast&#039;s most active period in its history, the hashtag &amp;quot;#LiveLaughLoveLostCoast&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;#LLLLC&amp;quot; for short, was popularized by residents as a slogan used to promote tourism to the city.&lt;br /&gt;

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;

The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 35 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elko===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Elko Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast, Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, and Fort Elko which is where this oblast derives it&#039;s name from. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Southern Oblast consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. These 3 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge, Northeast Gyre, and Rosarito, which despite being on opposite sides of the nation, all share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other towns, even coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, Northeast Gyre is an entirely underwater city, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 large boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast.

&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Khergit Khanate===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: August 12, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there.

Above the town are two war planes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Passage Bay=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: March 19, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tulare Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started with when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Clovis is a town located between Fresno and Visalia. It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Madera===&lt;br /&gt;

The western part of town is in the San Joaquin Valley, the central part is in the savannah steppe lands, and the eastern part is directly on the Sierra Nevada mountains. It&#039;s surrounded by forests and grasslands, with vines lining many of its buildings. It also has one of Jefferson&#039;s prettiest government buildings, the Madera City Hall. Madera is unique among Jefferson towns due to the fact that it is the only one to have remained completely unchanged since the early San Joaquin era of Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Umatilla County=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 25, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Umatilla County is a beautiful and historic Jefferson town. Surrounded by dense green forests on three sides and an arid high desert to the south, Umatilla is located in the heart of Eastern Oregon. The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Northeast Gyre===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Northeast Gyre is one of the few underwater cities on the server. Being the most remote town in Jefferson, Northeast Gyre is very hard to get to and there isn&#039;t an entrance to it by boat, so travelers must either spawn there or be trusted in the town to get it. Northeast Gyre was once the capital of the now-disbanded nation of Pacific Ocean, which at its greatest extent included Lost Coast and the now-deleted town of Fish Island. Northeast Gyre has a large glass dome under water visible from the map. Underground is where all the residential and commercial plots are, and its where Jefferson&#039;s primary potion station is located.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mammoth=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 20, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Founded off the ruble of the fallen Carson_City, Mammoth is a town on the edge of the towering Sierra Nevada mountains. The town stretches from deep in the mountains to out in the high desert where one of California&#039;s few lakes on EMC can be found, known as Mono. Mammoth protects a large swath of Sierra Nevada forests and mountains for visitors to enjoy hiking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hill Valley=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Hill Valley is a city located in the forests of coastal Northern California. It is a city built from ruins, as before the present-day Hill Valley there existed a town there by the same name and same mayor that fell due to inactivity. The city is home to a bustling ring road with several cars in it. By far the most prominent building in town would be the Hill Valley City Hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fort Elko=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 15, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fort Elko is a town in the middle of the Northern Nevada desert. It was originally founded as an outpost for Lost Coast but has since become an outpost for the nation as a whole. Fort Elko, along with its neighbor town Pyramid Lake, is very military-centered. The layout of the city places the tall outpost tower in the center, with many military/government buildings surrounding it and more residential buildings in the outskirts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meadow Valley=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 24, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Meadow Valley is located directly west of Lake Tahoe in the lush Sierra Nevadas. This town has been demolished and rebuilt 2 times, with its current appearance hosting Jefferson&#039;s first Subway restaurant and plenty of open green spaces with random machinery and altars scattered throughout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dummeldorp=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: July 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Dummeldorp is a city located in the region of northeast California. It is one of the only towns in the western hemisphere to have a very prominent European style of architecture, in Dummeldorp&#039;s case that style being Dutch with a hint of Polish. Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Dummeldorp in recent months has become a hotspot for redstone technology in the continent, with the town having more redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Dummeldorp is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, one of the few redwood trees on the server, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lassen=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: July 6, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lassen is a small village located on the foothills of the snowy Mt Shasta, the most prominent mountain peak in California. Covered in dense green forests, Lassen is a small town not home to many buildings but the ones it has are some of the prettiest in the nation. Following a primarily cabin style of architecture, Lassen is the coziest town in Jefferson and offers lots to do in its borders. For hikers, there is of course the towering Mt. Shasta right next to the town&#039;s spawn. For more casual nature enjoyers, there&#039;s Sequoia Creek with many picturesque pedestrian bridges, and Sequoia Falls to the west where the creek starts. For lovers, there&#039;s Lover&#039;s Pond with a nice collection of sealife to see. If you&#039;re not interested in exploring the outdoors, Lassen also offers much to see inside its 7 buildings. There&#039;s a tavern in the town square and a bakery not too far north from it. There&#039;s also a hobbit hole-inspired home in the northwest side of town that is fairly tucked away from sight. All buildings in Lassen are open to the public so that everyone can see their beauty in full display.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elko===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Elko Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast, Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, and Fort Elko which is where this oblast derives it&#039;s name from. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Southern Oblast consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. These 3 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Above the town are two war planes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started with when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Clovis===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 17, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elko===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Elko Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast, Catalina, Umatilla, Mazama, and Fort Elko which is where this oblast derives it&#039;s name from. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Southern Oblast consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. These 3 towns all have warm and sunny climates free from rain, they have savannah and/or sandy landscapes, and they all are located in the far south of the nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;

- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city.

Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Oblast, also known as the Central Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Red Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Red Coast Oblast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Southern===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Southern (short for Southern California) consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson, Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. There is only one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;

Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Central Metroplex, officially known as the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SoCal===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- SoCal (short for Southern California) consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson, Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. There is only one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Diego is a town located on the southern coast of California. It is the only town in Jefferson to border a Mexican town, and one of only three in the nation to border a Cascadian town. San Diego is made up mostly of warm sandy beaches and is unique among beach towns because it has remained un-urbanized for all its history, with its only building being a multi-purpose skyscraper located further inland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalina is a small town situated on the rugged and dry landscape of the central Washington State area, the only Jefferson town to be located there. It has has tall glass walls to shiled it from outsiders. Inside the town are many mission-era inspired buildings from rea-life California. Above the town are two war planes that add to the town&#039;s fort theme. Catalina is geographically isolated from other Jefferson towns, being surrounded by Cascadian towns past wilderness. The town has had several different names throughout it&#039;s history, such as New Spain, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and Fredricksburg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: January 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: February 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: March 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The coastal district, known as Santa Barbara (named after the town&#039;s second rename), has long and wide sandy beaches, large seaside homes, and even 2 islands off it&#039;s coast. The interior district, known as Palm Valley (named after the name Tulare started with when it was founded) is a major economic center of not just Tulare but also the Central California Metroplex as a whole. In Palm Valley there can be found one of the largest malls in Jefferson located below one of the tallest towers in the nation, the World Trade Center of California. Tulare used to be an independent nation before merging with Jefferson, known as South California. With few exceptions throughout its history, the nation was a city-state centered around Tulare. The flag of the former nation of South California has now just become the flag of the city of Tulare.&lt;br /&gt;

It is one of only 2 towns in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it instead being surrounded by Fresno on three sides and Visalia to the east. Clovis was the third town to be formed under the San Joaquin era of Jefferson. Clovis is home to one of the last cow farms in the ever-urbanizing Metroplex.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: May 25, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Surrounded by dense green forests on three sides and an arid high desert to the south, Umatilla is located in the heart of Eastern Oregon. The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in CenCal, officially known as the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SoCal===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- SoCal (short for Southern California) consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson, Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. There is only one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;

It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Catalina===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: November 27, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;

This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 6 Oblasts. These oblasts hold no power in the central government (rather, individual towns do) and instead exist primarily to organize the nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SoCal===&lt;br /&gt;
(3 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- SoCal (short for Southern California) consists of 3 towns: the oldest and largest town in Jefferson, Los Angeles, the beach town of San Diego, and the fortress city of Khergit Khanate. There is only one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Diego===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===The Sierras===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: June 5, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Sierras is the most mountainous town in Jefferson, with stoney hills in the north, alpine forests in the south, and savannah steppes to the west. Though it appears empty on the surface with only a few cabins dotting the intense landscape, The Sierras has a vast network of underground bunkers, making it one of the safest places in Jefferson to hide in case of an emergency. There&#039;s a lake on the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area.

On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Oblasts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns.

Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Oblasts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 33 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Los Angeles===&lt;br /&gt;
- Los Angeles is not only the oldest town in Jefferson, it is also the largest by total area. It has the most diverse geography in the nation, ranging from islands off its shore, coastal plains and beaches, savanah mountains, spruce forests, interior deserts, and even some land in the San Joaquin Valley. Most of the oldest homes in Jefferson can be found in the southern coastal area of Los Angeles, which has remained mostly untouched for over a year, making it one of the most historic parts of not just Jefferson but also EMC. Los Angeles used to be a capital of the nation of California, which no longer exists today as it was merged with Jefferson, but was the first nation to ever be created in the Western Hemisphere on the server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;

Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

There&#039;s a lake in the southern edge of The Sierras, one of the few in the California area. The town is only a chunk away from Area 51, making it the geographically closest town in Jefferson to the Euphorian Empire.&lt;br /&gt;

Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;

Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;

This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located.

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Oblasts=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Oblasts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this oblast share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this oblast comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior Oblast consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific Oblast consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Jan. 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Feb. 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It is a southeastern suburb of Fresno and is one of only 2 cities in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it bordering Jefferson towns on all sides. The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Mar. 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town.

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;

===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;

The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Dummeldorp in recent months has become a hotspot for redstone technology in the continent, with the town having more redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Dummeldorp is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, one of the few redwood trees on the server, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. &lt;br /&gt;

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this region share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this region comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior region consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific region consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Jan. 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Bradley===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Feb. 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It is a southeastern suburb of Fresno and is one of only 2 cities in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it bordering Jefferson towns on all sides. The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Visalia===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Mar. 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town.

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;

===Hakai Lodge=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Located off the coast of an isolated British Columbia island, Hakai Lodge is the most remote town in Jefferson. Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;

The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Dummeldorp in recent months has become a hotspot for redstone technology in the continent, with the town having more redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Dummeldorp is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, one of the few redwood trees on the server, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. &lt;br /&gt;

On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno, the nation&#039;s capital, is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this region share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this region comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior region consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific region consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Jan. 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

Founded: Mar. 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;

The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;

The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Dummeldorp in recent months has become a hotspot for redstone technology in the continent, with the town having more redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Dummeldorp is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, one of the few redwood trees on the server, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South California. Jefferson has 33 towns and is one of the largest nations in North America.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CenCal Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(12 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson began as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(6 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica dominated by cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, the lake town of Bear Valley to the east, the Icelandic-inspired town of Hólmavík to the south, the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. Most towns in this region share a coast, which is the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the real-life contiguous US, with forests surrounding the region and its towns. The name for this region comes from the fact that it is the last place in the real-life world where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns: the ranch-styled town of Lassen, the agricultural town of Stevens Pointe further south, the European-styled town of Dummeldorp to the east, the historic and abandoned town of Auburn to the south, the eclectic town of Meadow Valley south of it, the cabin town of Sierra north of that and the oasis military town of Pyramid Lake further east. All towns are centered in Northeast California and Northwest Nevada, with geography varying from forests and snow-capped mountain towns like Lassen, to arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake. The Modoc towns all mostly share a common theme of ruggedness and ruralness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Interior===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Interior region consists of the 4 towns in Jefferson furthest from the coast. These towns are all far away from the closest Jefferson towns and are resultingly more isolated yet still have very close ties to the nation. Each town is located in a different real-life state/province, Catalina is in Washington, Elko is in Nevada, Mazama is in British Columbia, and Umatilla is in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacific=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Pacific region consists of the towns of Hakai Lodge and Rosarito, which despite being on exact opposite sides of the nation, share a common oceanic culture that is unmatched by other coastal towns. Hakai Lodge is partly built on wooden logs floating on the ocean, and Rosarito is Jefferson&#039;s navy center with 3 major boats off of its coast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is located on the south-central coast of Jefferson, covered in lush savannahs and lined by warm sandy beaches on its coast. The town is connected by a network of wide roads designed to look similar to real-life roads complete with crosswalks and sidewalks. One of the most popular routes on the continent, Highway 99, starts north in Cascadia and ends in San Jose. The town is one of the best preserved in Jefferson, remaining mostly untouched for over a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is one of the largest cities in Jefferson, and the nation&#039;s official capital located in the center of the CenCal Metroplex. The city is divided into many neighborhoods and districts, each with vastly different architectural styles ranging from abandoned and overgrown Victorian neighborhoods in the west to the bustling skyscraper capital district in the east. Fresno is home to countless shops including the Jefferson General Store and Color World. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built, and it is the current town spawn for the city. Fresno is the most populated town in Jefferson and keeps growing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Jan. 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout its history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

It is a southeastern suburb of Fresno and is one of only 2 cities in the CenCal Metroplex to not border any wilderness, with it bordering Jefferson towns on all sides. The city is home to one of the only villager trading halls in Jefferson, as well as the nation&#039;s largest PVP arena which attracts dozens of tourists and PVPers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: Mar. 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. Visalia stands out from almost any other town on the server because it is made almost entirely from deepslate-based blocks. This gives the town a very dark and gothic look, which has earned it the nickname of being the &amp;quot;Gothic Village.&amp;quot; Visalia is a primarily residential town with many homes overlooking the city&#039;s central park. Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles. Visalia is home to the largest mall in Jefferson, located just south of the nation&#039;s spawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Azure Bay===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 1, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Azure Bay is Jefferson&#039;s primary and most popular beach-centric town. Located directly west of Fresno, Azure Bay surrounds a cove known in real life as Monterey Bay. the city attracts many tourists from the region looking for a fun day at the beach, especially on rainy days which, unlike most other towns, the city doesn&#039;t deal with due to its warm savannah climate. Azure Bay is home to the largest hotel in Fresno, which compliments the nearby beach nicely and offers visitors a nice view of it as well. Azure Bay has historically been the center of wealth in the CenCal Metroplex, even surpassing the capital in that regard. When it was founded, the town was known as Santa Maria before it changed its name to Azure Bay months later, inspired by the name of a town in a Pokémon game. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mazama=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: April 4, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Mazama is one of Jefferson&#039;s most unique towns. It is the only town in the nation located in mainland Canada, specifically in the interior of the real-life British Columbia province. Mazama is also unique in that it is the Jefferson town closest to a foreign capital, not only does it border the end dimension-inspired capital of Omineca, its also just a couple plots away from the capital of Rocky Mountains, and is the 2nd closest town in Jefferson to the capital of Cascadia. Along with having a unique geography, Mazama also has a unique architecture. The city&#039;s street layout is made up of a very organized grid, and its buildings share very similar colors of grey and black. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[https://wiki.earthmc.net/wiki/Pyramid_Lake Pyramid Lake]=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Mar. 22, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

For being a small and cozy oasis in a very large desert, Pyramid Lake has many local businesses such as the Pyramid Credit Union, Pyramid Organics, the Lakeside Inn, and PL Mining Co. The town was once an outpost of the Oregon Empire, one of only two Jefferson towns to have been a part of it. Nowadays, Pyramid Lake has changed from being an outpost town to being a military town, home to high-ranking members of the military and its very own PVP arena.&lt;br /&gt;

Disconnected from the rest of North America, Hakai Lodge offers a scenic getaway for dedicated travelers willing to take the long journey on boat to the town. Hakai Lodge is divided into two main areas, one on the island and another on the ocean. The island part is dominated by residential cabins that fit the dense forests nearby. The ocean part is more commercial, home to Jefferson&#039;s 7-11 and Blockbuster shops, as well as a hotel for the aforementioned dedicated travelers. Several canals go through the ocean part of town, which itself is primarily built on floating logs, resembling Venice more than a remote Canadian island.&lt;br /&gt;

The town is very historic and was at one point one of the region&#039;s most populated and an economic center. After falling into ruin, the city was gravely demolished. In recent months however, restoration efforts have restored to city to its former shape, and it is virtually free of all grief. Umatilla County&#039;s architecture is uniquely industrial, incorporating bricks and deepslate in most of its buildings and giving it a very rugged yet cozy look.&lt;br /&gt;

Starting off as a primarily agricultural town but developing rapidly after it joined Jefferson, Dummeldorp in recent months has become a hotspot for redstone technology in the continent, with the town having more redstone implemented into its buildings than any other town in the nation. Dummeldorp is home to the largest town flag museum in Jefferson, one of the few redwood trees on the server, and Jefferson&#039;s beautiful premier cathedral, which is unique because of its vertical style and red colors. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). On October 1st, 2023, the nation of South California was sold to a colonist from Patagonia and had its capital moved, while the city of Santa Barbara joined Jefferson. Later that day, the nation of California was disbanded and it&#039;s towns Los Angeles, The Sierras, and Catalina joined Jefferson.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a nation in West America on EarthMC Terra Aurora. It was founded on January 22nd, 2023, originally named &#039;&#039;&#039;San Joaquin&#039;&#039;&#039; after the San Joaquin Valley of California where Fresno is geographically located. Prior to the creation of the nation, its capital Fresno was a town in the nation of California, which has since merged with Jefferson along with the former nation South_California. Fresno is where the first skyscraper in all of the Western Hemisphere of EMC was built. At the town&#039;s height, It reached 134 residents, which was on July of 2022.

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin-cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where began as Jefferson a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica with cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, and the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns in the region share a coast, the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the contiguous US IRL, with forests dominating the region and its towns. The name of the region comes from the fact that it is the last place in the world IRL where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is the only geographically Southern Californian town in Jefferson. The city contains mostly Savanah and desert biomes. Its the oldest city in Jefferson, with a couple of historic sites and the largest roads in the nation. It&#039;s also where Highway 99 ends, which starts all the way north in Seattle (Central Cascadia).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is the capital and largest city in Jefferson. Being our most densely populated town, Fresno is the only city with skyscrapers in the nation. It&#039;s home to a wide variety of architectural styles and many different neighborhoods, which add up to make it the largest town in Jefferson by both area and population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pacifica=== &lt;br /&gt;
Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pacifica is a picturesque seaside town located in the Southern half of the Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of California. The town is full of many cozy and humble oceanic cabins that give visitors a more relaxed atmosphere when compared to other more urbanized coastal cities. Pacifica is one of the largest towns in Jefferson by area and it has claimed 2 fallen towns, with one being a massive castle spanning dozens of chunks in size. Rather than develop historic coastal areas, in recent years the city has built up its once-empty northeastern territory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lost Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: Jan. 3, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is located near the northwest corner of California enclosed by groves of preserved trees on three sides and an open ocean to its west. Prior to the founding of Lost Coast, a town called Eureka existed in its area, with all of the town&#039;s 2 buildings still standing today, and being well preserved. Lost Coast is divided into 4 main districts: Cape, Happy Valley, Humboldt Hills, and Arcata. Lost Coast uniquely integrates half-roofs and lanterns with many of its buildings, specifically those in its Cape district. Lavender fields, farmland, and vast seaside hills make up most of Happy Hills. Humboldt Hills is Lost Coast&#039;s most historic neighborhood, with it having one of the two Eureka-era buildings in the town, all of the first 6 buildings built after Lost Coast was created, and being the first area to get claimed. Arcata is centered around Arcata Square and is full of many shops and services, including the Lost Public Library with many poems and stories, Humboldt Records which is one of the server&#039;s very few record stores, the Jefferson Head Club which sells dozens of collectible player heads, and OoOoLaLa&#039;s bakery which holds the regional resource center upstairs. Lost Coast has switched between 6 different nations throughout it&#039;s history (Cascadia, Rocky Mountains, Norcallia, California, Pacific Ocean, Jefferson), more than any other town on EMC.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

Founded: Mar. 2, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Visalia is an eastern suburb of Fresno that spans land in both the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the San Joaquin Valley.

Much of Visalia&#039;s homes are situated in the mountains and have architecture inspired by castles.

Mazama&#039;s city layout is master-planned and has four main roads diverging from the city center towards each cardinal direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Government=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a (benevolent) Autocracy led by The_Forest. The appointed Cabinet and Senate make up the Central Government of Jefferson at Fresno. The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alliances===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The day after being formed as a nation, on January 22, 2023, Jefferson joined the California Empire.&lt;br /&gt;

- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 12 towns located in the Greater Central California Metroplex. By far the most populated city in the region is Fresno, and the largest by area is Santa Barbara. These two towns are the twin-cities of the metropolitan area. As the name suggests, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where began as Jefferson a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the massive town of Pacifica with cabins and lodges, the denser and more Victorian Lost Coast directly south of it, and the industrial Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay even further south. All towns in the region share a coast, the most sparsely-populated swath of coast in the contiguous US IRL, with forests dominating the region and its towns. The name of the region comes from the fact that it is the last place in the world IRL where Redwood trees can be found, the tallest trees to ever exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is the only geographically Southern Californian town in Jefferson. The city contains mostly Savanah and desert biomes. Its the oldest city in Jefferson, with a couple of historic sites and the largest roads in the nation. It&#039;s also where Highway 99 ends, which starts all the way north in Seattle (Central Cascadia).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is the capital and largest city in Jefferson. Being our most densely populated town, Fresno is the only city with skyscrapers in the nation.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;

- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;

===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;

On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- San Jose is the only geographically Southern Californian town in Jefferson. The city contains mostly Savanah and desert biomes.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is the capital and largest city in Jefferson. Being our most densely populated town, Fresno is the only city with skyscrapers in the nation.

&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: October 9, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- Lost Coast is the oldest city in California&#039;s Far North and the 2nd largest city in Jefferson by area.

Lost Coast is located where 2 old towns once were, which leave the city with many historic artifacts.&lt;br /&gt;

Mazama&#039;s city layout is master-planned and has four main roads diverging from the city center towards each cardinal direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Founded: May 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Government=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a (benevolent) Autocracy led by The_Forest. The appointed Cabinet and Senate make up the Central Government of Jefferson at Fresno. The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alliances===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The day after being formed as a nation, on January 22, 2023, Jefferson joined the California Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
- Due to inactivity in California, Jefferson left the California Empire and joined the Mexican Empire on April 8, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;

- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;

- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

=Government=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a (benevolent) Autocracy led by The_Forest. The appointed Cabinet and Senate make up the Central Government of Jefferson at Fresno. The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alliances===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The day after being formed as a nation, on January 22, 2023, Jefferson joined the California Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
- Due to inactivity in California, Jefferson left the California Empire and joined the Mexican Empire on April 8, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Jefferson=&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alliances===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The day after being formed as a nation, on January 22, 2023, Jefferson joined the California Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
- Due to inactivity in California, Jefferson left the California Empire and joined the Mexican Empire on April 8, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader.

=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===San Jose===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 14, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Fresno===&lt;br /&gt;
Founded: May 16, 2022&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fresno is the capital and largest city in Jefferson. Being our most densely populated town, Fresno is the only city with skyscrapers in the nation.

&lt;br /&gt;

Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Regions=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is divided into 4 main Regions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Central California Metroplex=== &lt;br /&gt;
(10 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The vast majority of Jefferson&#039;s population lives in one of the 8 towns in the Central California Metroplex. The largest city is Fresno, with most other towns in the region being neighborhoods, suburbs, or exurbs of it that each share a border with the main city. As the name of the region states, this metropolis is located in Central California which is where Jefferson started as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Redwood Coast===&lt;br /&gt;
(4 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Redwood Coast consists of the largest Jefferson town, Pacifica, with the denser Lost Coast directly south of it, and Hill Valley in between it and the Mediterranean-styled Passage Bay. All towns in the region share a common biome of forest. This region IRL is the last place in the world where the tallest trees, the Redwoods, can be found. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modoc=== &lt;br /&gt;
(7 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Modoc consists of 7 towns, all located in the interior of the continent. Varying from forested mountain towns like Lassen, arid oasis towns like Pyramid Lake, or industrial factory towns like Umatilla County, the Modoc towns all share a common culture of ruggedness and ruralness (except Dummeldorp).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Far North=== &lt;br /&gt;
(2 towns)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The Far North region is just the towns of Hakai Lodge and Mazama, which are the northernmost towns in Jefferson, located so far north they reach deep into Canada. These two towns are both green and forested. They both offer unique atmospheres and styles compared to most towns on EMC, with Hakai being a town on piers and Mazama being a town of immense architectural order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Towns=&lt;br /&gt;
The 24 towns of Jefferson are listed as the following in order of creation date:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Government=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a (benevolent) Autocracy led by The_Forest. The appointed Cabinet and Senate make up the Central Government of Jefferson at Fresno. The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alliances===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- The day after being formed as a nation, on January 22, 2023, Jefferson joined the California Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
- Due to inactivity in California, Jefferson left the California Empire and joined the Mexican Empire on April 8, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- During California&#039;s revival, Jefferson decided to leave the Mexican Empire and rejoin the California Empire on May 13th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the founder of Jefferson resigned and left the nation to his co-founder, Jefferson left the Mexican Empire for the Venezuelan Union on June 14, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After the at-the-time leader of Jefferson sold the nation to a Bavarian Colonist, the nation left the Venezuelan Union and briefly joined the Bavarian Empire on June 19th, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- After being purchased back, Jefferson left the Bavarian Empire and instead re-joined the Mexican Empire on June 30, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- On July 4th, Jefferson signed 2 separate alliances with Nevada and Norcallia&lt;br /&gt;
- Jefferson and Basin form the Sequoia Federation on July 28, 2023&lt;br /&gt;
- California, Norcallia, and South_California join Sequoia on August 10, uniting all the California nations under one meganation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25th, 2023 the leaders of the Rocky Mountain Federation declared war on Jefferson after it was bought back due to personal drama it had with the new leader. The leader of UMC declared war the same day to show support for RMF. On July 5, 2023, both RMF and UMC revoked their declarations after Jefferson and RMF made peace. There were 0 deaths or casualties due to this 10-day war, which was Jefferson&#039;s only war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin, (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;

=Government=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson is a (benevolent) Autocracy led by The_Forest. The appointed Cabinet and Senate make up the Central Government of Jefferson at Fresno. The leader of Jefferson serves for life unless they resign/appoint someone else. Despite the undemocratic-ness, 100% of Jefferson residents strongly approve of their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Economic System===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson&#039;s economy is Communist by default due to the fact that all workers own the means of their production as they sell what they make and work for themselves rather than a corporation. Individual towns have slightly varying systems, with the indigent Fresno, for example, being predominantly Marxist-Stateist, and the wealthy Azure Bay being predominantly Market-Capitalist. Stateism and Marxism is more popular in the destitute towns of the interior Modoc, whereas capitalism with Californian characteristics is more popular in the Coastal towns.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
Jefferson was created on 22 January 2023 founded by x________ and co-founded by Bestfriends0174. Originally called San_Joaquin, (taken from the name of the California valley Fresno is in), the nation immediately joined the California meganation as a province upon creation. On 8th April 2023, San_Joaquin decided to leave California and join the Mexican empire because of inactivity throughout California, but on 14 May 2023 as LA started to recruit and California became active again so San_Joaquin left Mexico and rejoined California. On 12 June 2023, x________ resigned from his position as leader due to controversies. SSLChampion became the leader and on that same day San_Joaquin left California and joined Venezuela. On June 20 2023, SSLChampion sold the nation for 5,000 gold to HDKONUK against the wishes of many in the nation. LimixLimix held San_Joaquin for HDKONUK. All residents with trust and a rank were kicked out of Fresno and had all their things stolen. On June 26 2023, 42Forest who is a former resident of Fresno before San_Joaquin was created, rebought the nation from HDKONUK/LimixLimix, adding the kicked-out residents back into Fresno and giving them back their plots. 42Forest is also a former Cascadian mayor and RMF (Rocky Mountain Federation) and its allies (UMC, Nights Templar, Arctic) declared war on San_Joaquin because of 42Forest becoming leader. No one died in the war, only a failed attack at Lost_Coast where no one died, only RMF hunters came and tried to lure residents out into the wilderness. On the 1st of July 2023, San_Joaquin rejoined Mexico and after that on July 4 2023 42Forest renamed the nation from San_Joaquin to Jefferson. On July 6 2023 the war with RMF ended thanks to the help of California. Jefferson left the Mexican Empire on July 23 2023 and remained independent for 5 days until it formed the Western Democratic Union with Basin on July 28 2023. On August 10, the meganation renamed to the Sequoaia Federation and added the nations Norcallia and California, and South_California (South_California joined a day later). &lt;br /&gt;
