== Origins ==<br />
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь, Fin. Sortavala, Swe. Sordavala) is a town located in the centre of the Russian Karelian province of 'Ladoga'. along Lake Ladoga and the River Yanisyoki (Fin. Jänisjoki). It is the largest settlement in Karelia by land and population and is the fourth oldest in the region after Petrozavodsk (Soviet Union), Viipuri (Finland) and Vyborg (Russia), and is the capital of Russia's Karelia Gubernate, one of three of Russia's Gubernates alongside Kola and Greater St. Petersburg.<br />
<br />
== Infrastructure ==<br />
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. The origins of the style came from its cheapness, but was later cemented as the town's Urban style.<br />
<br />
Sortavala sits on a series of artificial and natural islands, surrounded by canals which seperate each of her urban regions from the rest of the Karelian Taiga. <br />
<br />
=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
In 13/Sep/26, the claim corridor was complete across the entire road, securing a claimed channel from Sortavala through Sosnovo and then the Capital across lake Ladoga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />

<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

== Origins ==<br />
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь, Fin. Sortavala, Swe. Sordavala) is a town located in the centre of the Russian Karelian province of 'Ladoga'. along Lake Ladoga and the River Yanisyoki (Fin. Jänisjoki). It is the largest settlement in Karelia by land and population and is the fourth oldest in the region after Petrozavodsk (Soviet Union), Viipuri (Finland) and Vyborg (Russia), and is the capital of Russia's Karelia Gubernate, one of three of Russia's Gubernates alongside Kola and Greater St. Petersburg.<br />
<br />
== Infrastructure ==<br />
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. The origins of the style came from its cheapness, but was later cemented as the town's Urban style.<br />
<br />
Sortavala sits on a series of artificial and natural islands, surrounded by canals which seperate each of her urban regions from the rest of the Karelian Taiga. <br />
<br />
=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
In 13/Sep/26, the claim corridor was complete across the entire road, securing a claimed channel from Sortavala through Sosnovo and then the Capital across lake Ladoga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />

<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />

'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />

<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />

'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

== Origins ==<br />
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь, Fin. Sortavala, Swe. Sordavala) is a town located in the centre of Russian Karelia's Ladoga Province, along Lake Ladoga and the River Sorty. It is the largest settlement in Karelia by land and population and is the fourth oldest after Petrozavodsk (Soviet Union), Viipuri (Finland) and Vyborg (Russia).<br />
<br />
== Infustructure ==<br />
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. <br />
<br />
The Town consists of 4 districts separated by bodies of water, being:<br />
* Central Sortavala: The oldest and origin of the town which has became an island of sorts with the construction of a canal west of it, meeting with the Sorty and Ladoga.<br />
* Sortyvostok: The lands of the town east of the Sorty<br />
* Sortyzapod: The lands of the town west of the Canals separating Central Sortavala from the rest of the land west of the Sorty.<br />
* Sortyostrov: The formerly 2, now a single merged island incorporated in August to the Sortavala Urban core, located south of the centre on Lake Ladoga.<br />
[[File:SortyRegional.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />

<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />

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

<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 25 towns as of September 3rd, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />

<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Greater St. Petersburg'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region consists of lands around the Capital, alongside much of Northern Russia and Estonia. It holds the main centres of power and makes up a majority of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas, Vyborg (which holds much of the region's industrial capacity), alongside Viborg and several other Russian towns.<br />
<br />
The town of Sosnovo is split between Vyborg Province, GSP and Ladoga Province, Karelia.<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which is the largest by population and area of all Karelian towns, up north Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.<br />

== Origins ==<br />
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь, Fin. Sortavala, Swe. Sordavala) is a town located in the centre of Russian Karelia's Ladoga Province, along Lake Ladoga and the River Sorty. It is the largest settlement in Karelia by land and population and is the fourth oldest after Petrozavodsk (Soviet Union), Viipuri (Finland) and Vyborg (Russia).<br />
<br />
== Infustructure ==<br />
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. <br />
<br />
The Town consists of 4 districts separated by bodies of water, being:<br />
* Central Sortavala: The oldest and origin of the town which has became an island of sorts with the construction of a canal west of it, meeting with the Sorty and Ladoga.<br />
* Sortyvostok: The lands of the town east of the Sorty<br />
* Sortyzapod: The lands of the town west of the Canals separating Central Sortavala from the rest of the land west of the Sorty.<br />
* Sortyostrov: The formerly 2, now a single merged island incorporated in August to the Sortavala Urban core, located south of the centre on Lake Ladoga.<br />

<br />
=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

<div>Chernihiv was and is a town northwest, of Chernihiv, where originally it was founded in June 18th of 2022, but after the first Chernihiv fell, a second one was made over a year after, on December 2 2023.<br />
Chernihiv was a town north-west of Kyiv, originally founded by [[User:Doytnr|doytnr]] in 18/Jun/22, later refounded by zGenesis_ in 2/Dec/23.<br />
<br />
== History of Chernihiv ==<br />
<br />
=== Early Chernihiv (18/Jun/22 - 09/Sep/22) ===<br />
Chernihiv was first founded as 'Cherniv' as a typo by founder [[User:Doytnr|doytnr]] and co-founder supersonic802 after fleeing from the Oder River and settling on the Desna River. User LazuliMC (then KeroRibbit), back then a resident of Kyiv, lent 31g to found the town then an additional 16g to fix the typo and rename the town to Chernihiv. <br />
<br />
The town was encased in a hastily built stone wall to protect it from intruders which were common with the town's proximity to Ukraine's capital. The town expanded on a rate of 2-3 chunks per day. Early projects included "The Clocktower", "Chernihiv Fortress" and several bridges over the River Desna. Chernihiv's ice-rail connection to the rest of the Ukrainian ice network was also built during this time.<br />
<br />
On the height of Chernihiv's growth, there was a plan to found Polesia as the town's own nation, but never sufficed due to the mayor's obsession with hosting gold drops...<br />
<br />
Chernihiv was part of [[File:Ukraine.png|20px]][[Aurora:Ukraine|Ukraine]] since her foundation until the end of June, where it had joined GODSBESTWARRIOR's nation of [[File:White_Ruthenia_Coat_of_Arms.png|20px]][[Aurora:White Ruthenia|White Ruthenia]].<br />
<br />
=== Founder's Vacancy (09/Sep/22 - Mar/23) ===<br />
Due to the mayor's ban in 9/Sep/22, and with co-mayor supersonic802 inactive, the leadership of Chernihiv was held by one of the early members urmumisw_ until its inevitable sniping by MESHIKAIRI in March 2023.<br />
<br />
=== Chernihiv decline (Mar/23 - 12/Nov23) ===<br />
At the peak, Chernihiv had almost 40 residents and 105 chunks. Once MESHIKAIRI sniped the town he would slowly unclaim it for gold under the former founder's protest.<br />
<br />
This first Chernihiv inevitable fell on 12/Nov/23, being fully unclaimed by MESHIKAIRI, a day after the founder had made a new town of [[Aurora:Kaniv|Kaniv]] further down the river Dnieper. <br />
=== New Chernihiv (02/Dec/23) ===<br />
<br />
Over a year since the first founding of Chernihiv, zGenesis_ refounds the city in a very drastic landscape under [[File:Polesia.png|20px]][[Aurora:Polesia|Polesia]], an expanding nation that even Kaniv (the town of Chernihiv's first founder) had joined.</div>606095237038735381https://wiki.earthmc.net/index.php?title=Aurora:Chernihiv&diff=264216Aurora:Chernihiv2026-08-31T20:02:32Z<p>606095237038735381: </p>

=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).<br />
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Segezha<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Segezha<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Segezha<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and Segezha, which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.<br />

'''Russia''' is a nation located in North-West Russia, centered around its capital of Saint Petersburg. It stands as the second biggest nation within the Russian region and has, since its foundation in April 14th 2026, steadily expanded both its population and its amount of towns. It is led by [[KristauxSoft]] who serves as its sole emperor as of August 2026.<br />
<br />
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor, a position currently occupied by KristauxSoft, stands at the top of the hierarchy. He nominates a cabinet composed of a Chancellor and three ministers who hold this position for 2 months and have to complete set tasks during this time. The main governing body of the nation is the State Duma which is composed of a dozen senators that are either elected by the people of Russia or selected by the Emperor. Lastly, some of the eldest members of the nation form the Emergency Council, an advisory group only called up in times of crisis.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Founding'''===<br />
<br />
==== Prefounding ====<br />
<br />
After the shutdown of [[Terra Aurora]], a group of players coming mostly from [[Genoa]] decided to group up again for [[Terra Nostra]]. While multiple ideas were thrown around on where to settle (including Indonesia, Crimea or even Ireland), it was decided in the end that they would establish themselves around the city of Saint Petersburg, in Northern Russia.<br />
<br><br />
During the premium release (that began on April 17th 2026), a handful of them started working to establish Saint Petersburg and the Russian nation as quickly as possible. The members that helped during this early era include [[Xixios]], [[KristauxSoft]] and [[Riri2010]] who were joined about a week later by [[NeFFeeh]], [[Sepl3333]] and [[AndrewKase]].<br />
<br />
==== Early issues ====<br />
<br />
At the exact time the server first released, only two members of Russia were able to play (Xixios and KristauxSoft), these two spawned in Southern Africa and Canada respectively thus making their journey to Saint Petersburg quite lengthy, especially when taking into consideration the lag during the first hours of the release.<br />
<br><br />
This was further worsened by the fact that members of the Soviet Union, another group that wanted to settle in the Russian region, spawned relatively close to their target areas in comparaison. Some early diplomacy had began between the two nations but without successfully creating any meaningful agreement. <br />
<br> <br />
As such distrust remained high and when Soviet players found themselves in a position to create Saint Petersburg first they took the opportunity with no hesitation. However, in their rush to Saint Petersburg, the Soviets had neglected Moscow and the name was seized by KristauxSoft only a few minutes later.<br />
<br><br />
The failure to secure the name of Saint_Petersburg (which had always been seen as the main target), created some chaos within the group and there were thoughts of relocating somewhere else. However, after much debating it was decided that they would push forward with the original plan and a day later, on April 18th, Xixios created St_Petersburg on the North bank of the Neva river. <br />
<br />
==== From city to nation ====<br />
<br />
Work began as soon as possible to grind the necessary gold to create a nation and thankfully, the caves of Northern Russia and Siberia proved to be full of valuable ressources including gold. To keep track of how much gold was being grinded every day, the bank of St Petersburg was established, counting the gold input and calculating the progress towards nationhood.<br />
<br><br />
An average of 900 gold was being mined every day. The needed price for a nation was 28% gathered by the 19th, 60% by the 21st and entirely reached by the 23rd, only 6 days after the release of the server. The most productive day by far was on the 22th where 1654 gold was gathered in one day (by a group of only 3 individuals).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Territory ==<br />
<br />
=== Regions ===<br />
Russia has land stretching from the Arctic circle with the town of Murmansk to the Volkhov river with Novgorod. To simplify the adminstration of such a vast territory, regions have been created by the central government to promote regional autononmy and the development of local infrastructure. There are currently 3 recognized regions in Russia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag of Saint Petersburg.png|35x35px]] ''Saint Petersburg Greater Area'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Saint Petersburg<br />
<br />
This region centered around the capital of Saint Petersburg is the main heartland of the Russian nation. It holds the main centers of powers and makes up more than 50% of the nation's population. It consists of the towns of Saint Petersburg, Petrograd (known for its mapart canvas) and Vyborg (which holds much of the industrial capacity of the region).<br />
About half of the town of Sosnovo is also located within this region while the rest is part of the region of Karelia.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Flag Karelia.png|35x35px]] ''Karelia'' ====<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]]<br />
<br />
Karelia is a very diverse region which is characterised by dense spruce forests and an abundance of lakes and rivers. It is on these bodies on water where every Karelian town sits. In the South of Karelia is where the region was first settled by Kakisalmi and later [[Nostra:Sortavala|Sortavala]], which makes up a majority of the population and serves as the Regional Centre. Going North is Segezha which sits in the midst of the White Sea canal. North of Segezha lies Kem and further along the Kem River, Kalevala which is expected to become a significant part of the Russian sport industry.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:Kola flag.jpg|35x35px]] ''Kola'' ====<br />
<br />
'''Oldest Town:''' Casinograd<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Chunks):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
'''Largest Town (Population):''' Monchegorsk<br />
<br />
Kola, the Northernmost region in the nation is divided among two very different biomes. The South part is similar to Karelia with impressive forets and the frozen White Sea below. However, the North of the region is composed of beautiful fields of flowers leading all the way up to the rocky shores of Murmansk. Most towns are located near the Kola river that stretches across the peninsula. Notable towns are Havukruunu for its mapart canvas, Casinograd for its booming gambling industry and Monchegorsk which is quickly establishing itself as the most prominent town in the region.<br />
<br />
=== Towns ===<br />
The nation of Russia owns 22 towns as of August 29th, 2026.<br />

== Origins ==<br />
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь) is a Russian town located in Ladoga Karelia along the Northern Shore of Lake Ladoga and both banks of the Sorty River. It is the largest settlement in the Karelian region by land and population and is the oldest founded 4/May/24 by doytnr not too far from the town of Kakisalmi, which was the first Russo-Karelian town founded days prior but has since fell.<br />
<br />
The town is placed by the IRL location of Sortavala, and acts as a mid-point between the Baltic-Ladoga to deeper into Karelia.<br />
<br />
== Infustructure ==<br />
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. <br />
<br />
The Town consists of 4 distinct bodies separated by water, being:<br />
* Central Sortavala: The oldest and origin of the town which has became an island of sorts with the construction of a canal west of it, meeting with the Sorty and Ladoga.<br />
* Sortyvostok: The lands of the town east of the Sorty<br />
* Sortyzapod: The lands of the town west of the Canals separating Central Sortavala from the rest of the land west of the Sorty.<br />
* Sortyostrov: The formerly 2, now a single merged island incorporated in August to the Sortavala Urban core, located south of the centre on Lake Ladoga.<br />

<br />
=== Sortavala-Sosnovo Road === <br />
Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.<br />
<br />
=== White Sea Canal ===<br />
Connecting Lake Vygozero to the White Sea, constructed by doytnr and assisted with Steve12349 with filling, the canal provides water access from the White Sea to lake Onega, which can then access lake Ladoga by the Svir and the Gulf of Finland and later the Baltic Sea by the Neva. Started and Completed 20/Aug/26, it was first used to bring 2 polar bears from the White Sea to Sortavala the same day.<br />

== Foundation ==<br />
Founded on May 4 by doytnr, Sortavala was placed in the dense Taiga of Karelia by a river that leads to Lake Ladoga, nearby the IRL location of the town of the same name.<br />
<br />
Sortavala was the second town to be founded in Russian Karelia but the first surviving, being preceded by Kakisalmi which too sat on Lake Ladoga and were the people who first hosted Sortavala's founder.<br />
<br />
== Geography and Architecture ==<br />
Sortavala sits in Ladoga Karelia, placed on a river coined the 'Sorty River'. The town sits at the thinnest point of Karelia and links the Capital of St. Petersburg to deeper stretches of the nation.<br />
The centre of Sortavala sits on an artificial island, which is surrounded by the Sorty River, Lake Ladoga, and the Vostokala canal which seperates the Urban from Rural cores of Sortavala.<br />
A large proportion of the town is paved and raised above sea-level 5 blocks, with the y-level of 67. The town hosts 4 bridges, 2 of which being significant crossings of the Sorty. <br />
Sortavala is geographically split into 3 regions, being Insular, West-bank and East-bank. With the West-Bank being where the town was founded and Insular, consisting of the former 2, now merged islands south of the West-Bank on Lake Ladoga are the most recent developments.<br />

<br />
Kaniv is a town in Ukraine by the Dnipro river, in-between the Ukrainian capital city of Brovary and town of Cherkasy. It was at one point the second largest town in Ukraine by area.<br />
<br />
''Also known as: Kaniev, Канев, Канiв, Kaniw''<br />
<br />
== Geography ==<br />
<br />
Kaniv is placed on the southern bank of the Dnipro river, geographically in Ukraine. It borders the town of Cherkasy on its south and east borders, and New Kyiv in the north-west direction. Kaniw stands where modern-day Cherkasy stands, with the real location of Kaniv being too close to the city of Kyiv. <br />
<br />
The terrain of the area is mostly flat, with the highest natural height (from level of the Dnipro) only offset by 3 or 4 blocks. The town also stands on a ruins of a town that had controlled the area prior to the town's founding, with their roads still intact today [and used for the border of Cherkasy and Kaniv)<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Foundation'''<br />
The town of Kaniv (initially founded as Kaniw, the name Kaniv was taken by now Vinnytsia) was founded on the 11th of November, 2023, by the western bank of the Dnipro river. It was founded by doytnr, whom had previously founded the town of Chernihiv, north-east of the town of Kyiv in June of 2022, which had peaked with 105 chunks and 39 residents, and the town of Doytschgrad, a small settlement that had only 1 resident, the mayor himself. Doytschgrad later fell from inactivity, sinking the 100-300g invested into it, which hindered the early expansion of Kaniv.<br />
<br />
'''Early architecture'''<br />
<br />
In the early period of Kaniv, it was based on an existing building that had taken 6 chunks, right by the River Dnieper, where the current Kaniv Town Assembly stands. This was the main building of Kaniv for up until the first week of the town's existence. Enbankments of the River Dnieper have been created in the first 1 to 3 days, alongside projects to fix the rugged terrain that had existed in the area. Attempts were also made to restore the then called "Court of Dnieper" - the house where the town was founded - to a more usable state, as it had laid out of any town claims since at least November 2022, which had lead it to accumulate damage from various lootings of the building by people passing by.<br />
<br />
'''Development of Kaniw shop'''<br />
<br />
Not soon after Kaniw grew comfortably enough for bigger buildings, the first Kaniw shop opened up. Being just 2 chunks out from Kaniw's founding place, the shop was a measly diorite/calcite/quartz build with an oxidised copper roof. Although this proto-shop didn't bring significant revenues into Kaniw, it set a president for larger shops with more items to be setup all across the town.<br />
<br />
'''Development of the Kaniv redstone computer'''<br />
<br />
In late November, doytschReal bought 6 chunks to Kaniw, fully reserved for a construction of a 4-bit redstone computer (more info [[Rcomp-kaniw|here]]!. Without external investments, this project was fully funded by the town of Kaniw, which by this point was solely governed by doytsch. This project has gone through many iterations, with the 6 chunk area eventually being escuvated to prevent it being an eye-sour to the surface.<br />
<br />
'''Kaniw-Kaniv deal'''<br />
In order to rename the town (then Kaniw) to the more standard name of Kaniv, the mayors of Kaniw (now Kaniv) and Kaniv (later Vinnytsia) were made, with their renaming to Vinnytsia and an embassy established in the now town of Kaniv.<br />
<br />
'''December 2023'''<br />
<br />
Kaniv had grown from being an insignificant settlement in between two larger towns (Kyiv & Cherkassy) to the largest city (by population) in Ukraine. Many projects such as the 3x2 chunk Kaniw assembly and several apartment buildings are still in progress in the town, with the further growth of Kaniv not seeming to stop soon.<br />
<br />
A new bridge, called "Дниепр-Каневскоё Мост" (Dnieper-Kaniw bridge) was constructed on the 4/Dec/23, connecting the dense southern Dnieper Bank to the newly claimed territory north of the river, with several more bridges planned for the further connection and settlement of the new territory.<br />
<br />
'''decline of Kaniv (Dec/23 - Jan/24)'''<br />
<br />
In this era, the mayor's activity declined, and so did most of the residents of Kaniv, in the 5 weeks of inactivity, Kaniv's population dropped from a sizable 23 to a shocking 7 residents, although it has been steadily rising back following the mayor's return on the 29/Jan/24.<br />
<br />
As of the 27/Feb/24, the population of Kaniv has reached its highest ever, 42, a 6 fold increase from late January.<br />
<br />
'''reconstruction & replanning of Central Kaniv'''<br />
<br />
With the mayor coming back to govern Kaniv, Starting at 2/Feb/24, the Kaniv marketplace, Kaniv spawn market and Kaniv harbour were all demolished in order to fit for a more organised city plan. The Kanivite Apartment Complex, alongside the (in construction as of 3/Feb) Zalitna Casino, would begin to use up the space previously allocated to the now abandoned Kaniv Redstone Computer project. The Kanivite Apartment Complex in particularly grow to house around 7 unique residents in the first 2 days of servicing.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Looting of Kaniv (May/24)'''<br />
<br />
Several high-value items were looted from Kaniv during the Mayor's inactivity, including 6 player heads, 10 or so beacons, any gold stored in chests, the mayor's entire gold balance and even the large map of Ukraine and Kaniv that was hosted in the town's /t spawn. Since then the mayor had been inactive. These lootings were not able to be rollbacked and the suspect hasn't been caught with no leads.<br />

<div>Chernihiv was and is a town northwest, of Chernihiv, where originally it was founded in June 18th of 2022, but after the first Chernihiv fell, a second one was made over a year after, on December 2 2023.<br />
<br />
== History of Chernihiv ==<br />
<br />
=== Early Chernihiv (18/Jun/22 - 09/Sep/22) ===<br />
The first Chernihiv, founded by [[File:Doytschreal2.png|15px]][[doytnr|doytnr]] (known then as DeutschNotReal), foundation was funded by doyt's and ss802's sum of 33g and an additional 31g donation from LazuliMC (then KeroRibbit), a resident of Kyiv at the time. <br />
<br />
Originally due to a typo, the town was called Cherniv, but that was soon fixed after KeroRibbit payed an additional 32g to rename the town to its proper name, Chernihiv.<br />
<br />
The town was incased in a thin and hastely-built stone wall in an attempt to prevent intruders, which she would see many due to her intense proximity to the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. The town slowly expanded, about 2-3 chunks per day on average were introduced into Chernihiv. Many large building projects such as "The Clocktower", "Chernihiv Fortress", and several bridge over the Diesna River were constructed over this period, Chernihiv's rail connection to the rest of the Urkainian nation and to her own town-only iceroad network was completed by July, and at that rate, Chernihiv's prospertiy was inevitable, with the leader DeutschNotReal even attempting to make a nation called Polesia, which never sufficed for several issues.<br />
<br />
For a while, Chernihiv was a part of [[File:Ukraine.png|20px]][[Aurora:Ukraine|Ukraine]], until the very end of June where it had joined GODSBESTWARRIOR in his nation, [[File:White_Ruthenia_Coat_of_Arms.png|20px]][[Aurora:White Ruthenia|White Ruthenia]]. <br />
<br />
=== Founder's Vacancy (09/Sep/22 - Mar/23) ===<br />
Due to the mayor's ban in 9/Sep/22, and with comayor supersonic802 inactive, the leadership of Chernihiv was held by one of the early members urmumisw_ until its inevitable sniping by MESHIKAIRI in March 2023.<br />
<br />
=== Chernihiv decline (march 2023 -> 12 November 2023) ===<br />
At the peak, Chernihiv had almost 40 residents and 105 chunks. Once MESHIKAIRI sniped the town he would slowly unclaim it for gold under the former founder's protest.<br />
<br />
This first Chernihiv inevitable fell on 12/Nov/23, being fully unclaimed by MESHIKAIRI, a day after the founder had made a new town of Kaniv further down the river Dnieper. <br />
=== New Chernihiv (02/Dec/23) ===<br />
<br />
Over a year since the first founding of Chernihiv, zGenesis_ refounds the city in a very drastic landscape under [[File:Polesia.png|20px]][[Aurora:Polesia|Polesia]], a growing nation that Kaniv (the town Chernihiv's original founder now hosted) had joined it for some time.</div>606095237038735381https://wiki.earthmc.net/index.php?title=User:Doytnr&diff=263710User:Doytnr2026-08-30T05:33:01Z<p>606095237038735381: </p>
