==History==
''Written in a Biography style''

=== '''Pennsylvania''' ===

====Starting Out====
When I first joined EMC (April 29th, 2020) I spawned in the town of Green Bay, from there I trekked my way east towards the towns of the East Coast. I was invited to a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by SinisterCherry. Starting out I owned one small plot which I dug out all the way to bedrock. I also at the time had a small outpost in West Africa in hope of mining many resources but alas there weren't many valuables to be found.

==== Becoming a Councillor====
After showing dedication and asking for more plots to work on SinisterCherry granted me the town rank of Councillor (May 17th, 2020). From there I proceeded to test out my new perms by looking in every chest into the town like every new player would do. Never found much. With my new found rank I was thrust into the political sphere of Pennsylvania in the sphere of Tri State. I remember purchasing a plot in west Newark but after being told I had to use Litematica for the construction I backed out.

I participated in the raid at Hu_Zhou which was a major success due to the strategy of Tri State. I was able to gain around 300 gold from this which was quite a lot for a new player. I then also began to use my wealth to buy materials and armor. I remember I lost my second god set as I was killed by Warriorrr while on my way to a fallen town in the Indonesian Islands. My first god set was lost as I was mining down a concrete tower in a wilderness area and a random pvper decided to kill my noob ass.

In July 2020 I was very active in the Canadian Empire in an effort to get SinisterCherry elected as the Prime Minister. Ultimately my efforts paid off and Sinister was elected. Unfortunately Sinister also went inactive around the same time he was elected rendering his term fruitless and progress in Pennslyvania stalled also.

====Late Era Pennslyvania====
With Sinister essentially no longer playing on the server, I was the only town member of Philadelphia online. I had plans for a mall and my own major skyscraper. I built the skyscraper which was almost entirely built out of glass and was based on the spiral in Hudson Yards. I opened a banner shop in New York at Rockefeller Center (The walls of which are still there!) and created my own small company to sell various items. The mall slowly came to fruition on the underground portion with its remnants still visible to this day. Around September I was given news that the city would be sold to Cencius and Smithyy (Yes those two) and things were looking a bit up. They were planning to remain aligned politically with New Jersey and Tri State as had been the status quo. The sale obviously never went through and the city remained pretty much just mine to mess around in. (So you can blame Illinois on Sinister!)

Sometime in late november? the city was handed over to New Jersey without any of my knowledge at all. At which point they wished to completely wipe off the current layout and try again. (Obviously this never happened as Philadelphia is STILL unfinished). They wanted to destroy my skyscraper and essentially I was annoyed and didn't like these people coming into Philadelphia. I was forced to destroy my skyscraper which was ultimately my last straw. (Note: I love NJ now this was just at the time and by this time I had left Philadelphia). In November I reached out to Lucas2011 as I was getting extremely bored of Philadelphia as I was just a councilor and was never handed Mayor and I was given an invite to move to New York which I took.

=== New York ===

==== Early New York ====
Following my discussion with Lucas, I was offered a plot close to spawn to which I purchased and began to move my stuff over. I moved towns completely in early December 2020 and began working on my own plot. My home plot underwent multiple iterations of construction and demoliton as I never found anything that I liked. During this early period I asked for plots to work on to which I was allowed.

I think it was sometime in Feb 2021 when I was given councilor perms in New York. With these perms I planned out the southeast of the city around the world trade center site with plans to revitalize and finish it. During this time I did clear up this area and reduced it all to flat grass (Although 2 WTC still hasn't been fully demolished) and finished the terrace around the capital building. I also built the midtown express tunnel that runs from the WTC site up to the north end of Grand Central and the capital building. I also participated in the construction of the ice rail project I-95 that would have run from South Carolina up to Newark. I was the primary person constructing this and I was paid a good amount. The highway was never finished but you can still find parts that were constructed quite easily on the dynmap.

I was also active in US politics at this time. In March and April 2021 I was elected as a senator from New Jersey as at the time New York was classed under New Jersey. I was also on the ticket to become a supreme court justice but this never came to fruition as the congressional committee overseeing it never got back to me. During this time I was an avid supporter of Lucas and supported both of his campaigns for president. I was quite shocked when Lucas did eventually loose to Bamgo. Because of this defeat, in late April 2021 KiwiOne_ and I began plotting to run for the Presidency with I as their Vice President. We figured we could garner the same "progressive" vote that had gotten Bamgo elected to elect us. Bamgo was elected again in May though so we never campaigned. By the time we could campaign the US entered its operation Deadringer and faked its collapse.

====Modern New York====
Following the "collapse" of the US, the northeast went dead and inactive. During this time though Dixie, KiwiOne_, and I were all active in trying to keep New York kicking. Lucas had essentially disappeared from the public spotlight. After much asking by all 3 of us, on June 29th, 2021 I was crowned King of New York. This was my dream to lead the nation I had idolized since joining the server. Right away I split up the city into districts with Dixie and Kiwi each overseeing one and the rebuilding of each of them. When I was crowned as king I was given many congratulations by people from all over the server and it was pretty cool. I began working on grand plans to reimagine the city.

On July 19th, 2021 I had New York join Greater Quebec. I had made friends with the Quebec Royals from my time in the CE and valued this friendship. While my councilors were very much against this I moved and it was done. One of the reasons I joined was that the state of Ohio led by Umbreon who at this time was another friend from the CE was in Greater Quebec. This gave me incentive to join as there were other friends there also. On July 24th, 2021 I unveiled the New York Vision 2022 project which would reimagine the entire city. I commissioned NewYorker9 to design the new Central Park and for a while there it looked like we would actually get things progressing. For the next month or so I opened up land sales again making some decent gold by reselling buildings.

On August 27th, 2021 Lucas returned to activity on the server. 3 Days later Lucas and I established a Diarchy with both of us leading which made things pretty easy with 2 of us leading. On September 3rd, New Jersey joined New York (for what the fourth time in history idk?) under my leadership and we had great plans for both cities. On September 29th, following much deliberation with my councilors and Lucas, New York left Greater Quebec with no hard feelings on either side. Leading into the month of October a major argument broke out between Lucas and I that nearly lead to my departure from the server. Ultimately things were resolved as it was just a matter of miscommunication and trust. For the next few months things were relatively quiet as KiwiOne_ had left and Dixie had become inactive.

On December 1st, 2021 I was elected as President of the United States in a landslide victory. As this was a major feat for me I did not expect it and first and almost did not run. During my presidency though I have achieved many great things in our foreign policy and internal development. On December 9th, 2021 I oversaw the welcoming back of NewYorker9's estate into New York. It was my personal goal to bring back all people that had ties to New York. Bringing NY9 back was a great help as he is now a very active player in our national goals. It was not until around January 2022 that I did commission out construction for central park with it finally starting construction. Currently at the time of writing I have been serving as the President of the United States since December 1st 2021. I have been working to bring a New York Renaissance working together with my New York Family, The [[Wintour House]]. Ultimately I do not know what is yet to come during the next year but it will be my goal to further the betterment of New York.

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec]] ([[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]]), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

== Name and etymology ==
The word "Albanite" is derived from the original town of Albany, founded in February 2021 by AdrianHES. Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York. The land, mandated under American law at the time to be part of New York's sphere of influence, was simply known as Northern New York prior to the establishment of the first Albanite settlement there.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

== Identity ==
The Albanites can be described as a nation, ethnicity, and culture. What qualifies a member of the Albanite people is having ever held residency in /t Albany in either Terra Nova or Terra Aurora. By default, Albanites consider themselves the rightful claimants of the Hudson Valley region, as well as the inheritors of the legacy of Imperial Quebec, whose remaining members are now considered part of the same ethnic sphere. Albanites believe to be the successors of Hodin, the founder and emperor of Quebec on Terra Nova. In addition to seeing the city of Old Albany as the cultural epicenter and capital of the Albanite ethnicity, they also see the region formerly occupied by Imperial Quebec as their inheritance. They are claimants to much of eastern Canada, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Their core sociopolitical tenants are as follows:

* Hudson Valley belongs to the Albanite people.
* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design. They are fiscally conservative and resourceful, and tend to make use of every asset and town chunk they have, and securely storing any items/gold they don't use. The principle belief of making sure every town chunk has some kind of use was propagated heavily by AdrianHES during the early Albanite history, and is partly the reason why the collective population of the Albanites are so high. Financially, Albanites and other Quebecois also have long-honored rules of making deals and loans amongst themselves to grow collective profit. This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.

== Demographics ==

=== Diaspora ===
While all Albanites are considered part of the collective group, regardless of when residency took place, there are several different internal classifications to distinguish between them. Most of these classifications arose following the Albanite diaspora, when culturally-obedient Albanites founded their own legacies elsewhere in EarthMC. Some of these include:

* '''Novite''' - residency was in Terra Nova.
* '''Borneac''' - residency was only in Terra Aurora.
* '''Hodinite''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec; related to royal family.
* '''Morganic''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec or Indochina; related to the Volkovs or to Albanite diplomats.
* '''Volkovic''' - any relation to the Volkov Family.
* '''Coddite''' - relation to Albany via colony residency.
* '''Froyic''' - diasporic descendant of former Albany residents.

While most Albanites claim heritage through either Novite or Borneac classifications, the others may also be used as claim to Albanite status if the criteria are met.

=== Allies ===
Within EarthMC, several groups have publicly endorsed the Albanite people and are considered friends of the group. These include (but are not limited to):

* [[Indochina]]
* [[Vermont]]

=== Antialbanism ===
Several antialbanitic groups, players, and organizations actively target, kill, hunt down, and persecute Albanite players. These include:

* [[United States of America|United States]]
* [[New York (Aurora)|New York]]
* [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]]
* [[Aurora:Monaco|Monaco]]

'''RAWRyoutube''' (spawned August 27th, 2020) is an [[Alberta|Albertan]] and [[Euphoria(Aurora)|Euphorian]] politician and statesman currently serving as the king of Aztlan. He is the mayor of Mexican Hat, Aztlan; having resided there since its inception. He has previously served as [[Secretariat of the Salish Confederation#Vice Chancellor|Vice Chancellor of the Salish Confederation]] from 1 February to 28 February 2021.

RAWRyoutube is designated an ''antialbanitic'' extremist by the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]] due to his historic persecution of the [[Albanites|Albanite]] people.

== Townless Experiences ==
RAWRyoutube spawned on August 27th, 2020 in real-life Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Erroneously believing that he could cross the Bering Strait, RAWRyoutube died for the first time after sailing through the edge of the world with a boat, failing to teleport back. After dying, RAWRyoutube decided to make a town without joining one first nearby real-life Peary Land. On August 28th, 2020, after getting 32 of the 64 necessary gold, RAWRyoutube was dynmap hunted by Tafffy and killed without offering any resistance.

After dying a second time, RAWRyoutube decided to join a town. Initially preferring [[Uluru-Kata Tjuta]], RAWRyoutube instead direct messaged xGoat, pretended to not have just made a mistake, and joined [[Edmonton]], Alberta.

== History ==
On August 29th, with the help of xGoat and JTPilfered, RAWRyoutube began to accumulate gold again through both voting and mining, initially preferring Antarctica for gold. On the next day, while looking for clay in the Great Slave Lake, RAWRyoutube was dynmap hunted and killed by Amphire.

On September 1st, 2020, RAWRyoutube bought his first shop plot at the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton. On September 2nd, after exploring a ruins near [[Zaragoza]] with [[DeadlyPINGU2003|DeadlyFOX]], RAWRyoutube found chests containing dozens of chainmail armor. On September 3rd 2020, RAWRyoutube’s poorly designed plot in Halifax was griefed by vebou and iFish, becoming a complete loss. RAWRyoutube was only able to vacate his gold in the building. With the gold saved, RAWRyoutube now could afford to make a new town.

=== September 2020 ===
On September 4th, 2020, RAWRyoutube founded the town of Medicine Hat in the Peace River Valley nearby the real-life settlement of Fort Vermillion, Alberta, exclaiming “YEA BOIS”. The town would rapidly expand over September, and would have several visitors as a result. September 8th, 2020 marked RAWRyoutube’s first expansion of Medicine Hat.

On September 18th, 2020, as part of the [[Nunavut]]-[[Canadian Republic]] wars, RAWRyoutube was involved with a skirmish between himself and Dictiooo as the climax of a series of threats made to Medicine Hat. During the skirmish, RAWRyoutube died once as a result of accidentally pouring lava on himself. The first and one of the only donations made to Medicine Hat were made here, as well as a small lavacast on the north bank of the Peace River that remains to this day.

On September 24th, 2020, infamous Washingtonian BonZZil paid the first of his multiple hostile visits to Medicine Hat, failing to assassinate RAWRyoutube. The 50th chunk of Medicine Hat was added on September 30th, 2020, being the second-largest monthly growth in Medicine Hat’s history.

=== October 2020 ===
On October 2nd, 2020, RAWRyoutube successfully obtained a beacon from Amphire, Thomasfake, and EmreYeten after bypassing a scamming operation after illegally taking advantage of the server lag that day. RAWRyoutube was later warned for the incident (his only warn) and the beacon returned. On October 7th, 2020, RAWRyoutube began a several months-long push to climb the Woodcutting McMMo leaderboards, but did not sustain the push. The first version of Medicine Hat’s town hall was completed on October 17th, 2020. On October 18th, 2020, RAWRyoutube obtained one of the earliest premium cosmetic heads, and currently holds 3 defunct shop chests of them.

=== November 2020 ===
On November 2nd, 2020, with the help of [[JesTer BBX|Jester_BBX]], an iceway from Edmonton to Medicine Hat was completed. The iceway remains there to this day.

=== December 2020 ===
After giving up on grinding woodcutting, RAWRyoutube worked on a construction project that included a skyscraper with an area in excess of 550,000 blocks.

=== January 2021 ===
The skyscraper, named RAWRmart HQ, was completed on January 21st, 2021. A large expansion of Medicine Hat to the northeast was completed on January 24th, 2021, adding nearly 40 chunks to the town.

=== February 2021 ===
RAWRyoutube participated in the [[Northwest Territories|NWT]]-NAP conflicts multiple times, being KIA in a skirmish nearby the now-ruined capital Wekweeti after being trapped. RAWRyoutube played a critical part in the making a ticket that resulted in the rebanning of Freave ([[Northwest Territories|Fridriuss]]).

=== March 2021 ===
In early 2021, RAWRyoutube gained substantial amounts of wealth through his shop RAWRmart selling leather until May 2021, especially during March. RAWRyoutube lost most of this profit after investing in a massive cow farm days before the mob entity limit was better enforced.

=== May 2021 ===
In May 2021, RAWRyoutube substantially increased the size of Medicine Hat to its present-day borders, including 33 residents inside of Medicine Hat at one point in time.

=== June 2021 ===
In June 2021, RAWRyoutube expanded RAWRmart’s presence to Slave Lake and sold enchanted gear for a time being.

=== July 2021 ===
RAWRyoutube had a period of temporary inactivity in July, at one point not logging on for 2 weeks. When Alberta successfully held an independence referendum in July, RAWRyoutube was absent in voting.

=== August 2021 ===
In August 2021, RAWRyoutube began to develop the central region of the amount Caribou plateau in northern Medicine Hat. That major construction project is still ongoing.

=== September 2021 ===
In September, RAWRyoutube discovered two previously abandoned trader llamas in a former house in Medicine Hat, and attempted to auction them off in the following months.

=== October 2021 ===
In October 2021, RAWRyoutube would partake in Alberta’s first of two border disputes with Cascadia, playing a minor role in the first round.

=== November 2021 ===
As Cascadia looked to expand their overground iceway system, the territory of Alberta would be disputed once more. On November 12th, 2021 Alberta submitted a formal complaint and prayer for relief to a Cascadian delegation.

The Albertan delegation looked to claim sovereignty over Iceway 7 which ran in between Edmonton and Medicine Hat, ensure that future projects were met with Albertan approval in their territory, allow expansion of Iceway 7 inside of Alberta to Albertan towns, and allow Alberta to change the iceway when necessary.

The Cascadian delegation denied and disputed these claims, instead claiming that “vast swaths of wilderness yours to ban all infrastructure development” was not possible, there would be no obligation to connect Albertan towns, and that removing iceway blocks was illegal.

Tensions rose over time as neither side was willing to concede or compromise. Cascadia was willing to concede recognition of sovereignty over the iceway for 1,000 gold, but this was declined by the Albertan delegation. However, the two delegations agreed that the Albertan flag will fly over the iceway but Cascadia can still modify the iceway in Albertan lands.

Although progress was made, the Cascadian cabinet denied these terms and left negotiations, betting that their iceway was fully protected by rule 3.2. Threats of war were exchanged, and RAWRyoutube led a push to remove the iceway through tickets. xGoat made the first ticket, but was denied over Edmonton’s claim arm in the north of the town.

RAWRyoutube then made his own ticket with unnecessarily heavy evidence, and eventually got the iceway removed with the help of EarthMC staff.

=== December 2021 ===
On December 20th, 2020, more than 800 ice blocks of Iceway 7 were wiped by EarthMC staff after the ticket was accepted. Although RAWRyoutube attempted to disclose the demolished iceroad to Cascadia, the Albertan delegation voted to keep it secret.

=== January 2022 ===
In January 2022, RAWRyoutube reclined to construction and agriculture, pushing over 400 Herbalism McMMo levels in January. 1 Edwards Place, the 2nd skyscraper to reach y 256 in Alberta was completed, as well as another high-rise.

=== February 2022 ===
RAWRyoutube voted in favor of suspending Alberta’s legislative assembly. In late February 2022, Alberta was brought into controversy again over the town of Banff, which was made in uncontested Albertan borders, but was part of the Canadian Rockies at the time. Alberta sent a delegation to [[Evergreen Republic|Evergreen]], which did not oppose any actions taken by Alberta to secure the town.

=== March 2022 ===
On March 1st, 2022, xGoat was successfully able to get Banff to join Alberta through the payment of vote crate gold in the presence of RAWRyoutube. RAWRyoutube would play major parts in increased Albertan foreign affairs with several different nations during March.

== Criticism ==
RAWRyoutube has been warned a total of one time. RAWRyoutube waged a campaign to become staff from November 2021, being accepted on April 1st, 2023. Critics have claimed that the acceptance was an April fool’s day joke, and several have said that RAWRyoutube should’ve waited even longer because of personal differences.

RAWRyoutube has historically had beef with the [[Volkov Family]] and [[AdrianHES]] in particular. RAWRyoutube helped make the ticket that resulted in AdrianHES’ banning, but critics have said that they want AdrianHES unbanned because they like him. The banning of AdrianHES resulted in the town of Albany putting a 15 gold bounty on him, which critics of RAWRyoutube support because the bounty accurately reflects the damage his banning caused to Albany.

Critics of RAWRyoutube have noted that RAWRyoutube lost 2-0 in the EarthMC PvP tournament, and only advanced because RAWRyoutube won on default on the play-in round. Critics have also alleged that RAWRyoutube’s PvP skill lacks because he lost a duel to Amphire and has been killed by Amphire, Tafffy, ThomasSlime, EphixaTR, and allegedly “many others”. Critics have also noted that RAWRyoutube does not PvP often and prefers to either record the battle or claimhide, which critics have analyzed as being a sign of a coward.

Critics have also pointed out that RAWRyoutube lacks skill in vote crates: despite opening hundreds, he only got an item worth more than 64 gold once: a totem of undying on Terra Nova. Critics have interpreted this as meaning that RAWRyoutube is much more poor than his /res balance suggests, since he just “sits around all day doing nothing”.

RAWRyoutube’s corporation, RAWRmart, has been pointed out by critics to barely break even. Critics say that it is normal for competent owners of shops to make hundreds of gold a month, but RAWRmart’s earnings may not even break the single digits most of the time. Critics have said that this proves that RAWRyoutube is bad at owning shops, which they point out is his allegedly main source of income on EarthMC.

Although RAWRyoutube allegedly has a fishing level of over 1,300; critics have noted that this means nothing because “the shake ability is really weak and beacons are worthless.” Critics have shown that this fishing level proves that RAWRyoutube does not know how to keep track of time, since he should be spending his time “mining like everyone else does and not fishing and only earning 10 gold a day.”

Chunk_of_Cheese, a vocal critic of RAWRyoutube, said that RAWRyoutube does not always give a straight answer whenever he asks what happened in a PvP encounter. He said that this proves that RAWRyoutube is a liar, especially when the AFK tag pops up and RAWRyoutube doesn’t respond when Chunk asks RAWRyoutube questions that expose his liberal hypocrisy. RAWRyoutube has critics at an international level, which is exactly why critics advise other people to not oppose the [[Québec|mafia]].

== Crybaby ==
RAWRyoutube is considered by one user to be a crybaby, but all relevant scientific knowledge about physics, chemistry, biochemistry, and biology contradicts this claim. There is a [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1833783?searchText=(Rhodes)&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoAdvancedSearch%3Fq0%3DRhodes%26f0%3Dall%26c1%3DAND%26f1%3Dall%26acc%3Don&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&refreqid=fastly-default%3A3cd50fea55eb1dbbb98ebe3ff0c99521 unanimous scientific consensus] that RAWRyoutube is not a crybaby, and such claims are kindly pseudoscience.

{{Nation|image1=[[file:UnitedStatesFlagEMC.png|150px]]|hideb=*|established=24th September 2020|political_system=Republic|leader=wishful_|title1=United States|hidecoat=*|hideteritory=*|image2=|image3=}}
The '''United States of America''' was created in September 2020 by east coast American nations New Jersey and America building upon the mistakes of past Unions.

The United States is designated an ''antialbanitic'' organization by the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]] due to their historic persecution of the [[Albanites|Albanite]] people.

==History==
==='''Early History''' ===
====A Great Need====
On the second of July 2020, the State of New Jersey officially left the Tri-State; this started the Tri-State union's complete downfall. This left New Jersey feeling alone in the world. Many people wanted to form some sort of alliance with another country—this time, however, they wanted one that would be based on New Jersey's democratic ideals. Bigred (New Jersey's Leader) thought that a great nation to form an alliance with would be America.

====The Great Union Debate====
An union between New Jersey and America was always considered an idea favourable by the people of New Jersey. This want for a union would soon start the Great Union Debate. The Great Union Debate would last from July to the eighteenth of September 2020. At first, America was reluctant and kept on asking why New Jersey wanted the union. It took some time for New Jersey to develop an argument that could convince America. America was also reluctant during this time because Bidav (America's Supreme Leader) was busy with other things. Eventually, the Americans were slowly convinced, and a date was agreed upon, the nineteenth of September, 2020, to hold The Constitutional Convention.

====The Constitutional Convention====
The convention resulted in the document "USA X," which was the union's elementary outline. The following were declared in the paper:

'''Purpose:''' Create a centralized, larger community to promote activity and have a larger basis of manpower to accomplish goals.

'''SEPARATION OF POWERS!''' (Overall federal overrides local- centralized foreign policy) One office at a time (unless also a governor).

'''Executive:'''

*President
**Term length of 1 month. ''(Later changed to 2 via constitutional amendment)''
**Can appoint Cabinet which may consist of national leaders
**Cannot be a nation leader
*Nation Leaders
**Enforce on the local level
**Nations handle judicial actions for themselves

'''Legislative:'''

*Senators
**Determined by states
**Cannot be a nation leader
**2 Senators per Nation
***''Later changed to 3 senators per nation following a constitutional amendment passed in Feb 2022.''
*Representatives
**Direct democracy to the people, all citizens are allowed to participate in the House of the Public.

'''Other:'''

*A rigorous review process for joining nations- slow growth
*Use new discord for national level - encourage use over local discords

====The Term Length Mistake====
Most of the founding fathers agreed on the one month term; Notwithstanding, one of the people who was writing the document though that we would be going by the last USA's two-month term, and so wrote down two instead of one.

''The constitution was later revised in Jan 2022 to allow for two month terms.''

====The Constitution====
The founders created the final draft of the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wc5GNDWPuSNXy18WXehYAGBnXUY5xvph_UDlb8yZhXY/edit?usp=sharing constitution] on the twenty-fourth of September, 2020, and so a country was born. The final version of the constitution was more in-depth and expanded on the "USA X" document's ideas. One change was the house of representatives was renamed The House of The Public.

====The First Election====
Two parties contested in the first election, Bleeblob and OrangeJuiceMoose. OrangeJuiceMoose ran under his Utopian party campaign; the common consensus is that his candidacy was a joke; so when the results came in, it was not considered a shock that Bleeblob won 71.4% of the popular vote.

==== The Second Election ====
Again, Bleeblob and OJM contested in the second election. Bleeblob won with around 80% of the vote.

==== The Third Election ====
The third election was more suspenseful then the others as Bleeblob hit his term limit. Two independents contested each other in the first election, [[ImMagnum]] and Greekenderman11. It was revealed the election during the debates that Greek was a clear racist and openly supported the purging of Turkish player base, due to this [[ImMagnum]] swept greek with the unions highest acceptance rate of 88% of the popular vote.

==== The Fourth Election (Jan 2021) ====
Bleeblob was once again elected president bypassing term limits.

==== The Fifth Election (Feb 2021) ====
Bigred was elected president.

==== The Sixth Election (Mar 2021) ====
Lucas2011 was elected president. This election would later be disputed in the NAP - USA war as a fraudulent election.

==== The Seventh Election (Apr 2021) ====
In a suprise defeat that astonished voters on both sides. Bamgo defeated Lucas2011 and assumed the presidency of the USA.

==== The Eighth Election (May 2021) ====
Bamgo is re-elected as president.

==== The Ninth Election (Jun 2021) ====
This is the first election after the planned collapse of the United States in order to flush out bad actors. As a result many established member states left the United States during this time. Patty G was elected as president with only a minor voter turnout.

==== The Tenth Election (Oct 2021) ====
No more elections occured in the time between June and October 2021 as the United States fell into a rump state with Patty G eventually resigining. In October of 2021 the United States re-emerged as a united state. Term Limits from previous elections were erased as the constitution had also changed now delegating voting power to the senate. Bamgo was elected as president. This term would last 2 months due to inactivity hitting around November and a vote approved to extend the term to December.

==== The Eleventh Election (Dec 2021) ====
The Eleventh Election was drug out over several days much to the dismay of citizens. Once final tallies were counted wishful_ was elected President of the United States, wishful_ previously was going to run for re-election of head diplomat and had no intent to run for President.

==== The Twelfth Election (Feb 2022) ====
The Twelfth election saw the reelection of incumbent wishful_ with an landslide majority due to favorable foreign policy initiatives set forward by the president.

Albanites

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec]] ([[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]]), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

== Name and etymology ==
The word "Albanite" is derived from the original town of Albany, founded in February 2021 by AdrianHES. Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York. The land, mandated under American law at the time to be part of New York's sphere of influence, was simply known as Northern New York prior to the establishment of the first Albanite settlement there.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

== Identity ==
The Albanites can be described as a nation, ethnicity, and culture. What qualifies a member of the Albanite people is having ever held residency in /t Albany in either Terra Nova or Terra Aurora. By default, Albanites consider themselves the rightful claimants of the Hudson Valley region, as well as the inheritors of the legacy of Imperial Quebec, whose remaining members are now considered part of the same ethnic sphere. Albanites believe to be the successors of Hodin, the founder and emperor of Quebec on Terra Nova. In addition to seeing the city of Old Albany as the cultural epicenter and capital of the Albanite ethnicity, they also see the region formerly occupied by Imperial Quebec as their inheritance. They are claimants to much of eastern Canada, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Their core sociopolitical tenants are as follows:

* Hudson Valley belongs to the Albanite people.
* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design. They are fiscally conservative and resourceful, and tend to make use of every asset and town chunk they have, and securely storing any items/gold they don't use. The principle belief of making sure every town chunk has some kind of use was propagated heavily by AdrianHES during the early Albanite history, and is partly the reason why the collective population of the Albanites are so high. Financially, Albanites and other Quebecois also have long-honored rules of making deals and loans amongst themselves to grow collective profit. This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.

== Demographics ==

=== Diaspora ===
While all Albanites are considered part of the collective group, regardless of when residency took place, there are several different internal classifications to distinguish between them. Most of these classifications arose following the Albanite diaspora, when culturally-obedient Albanites founded their own legacies elsewhere in EarthMC. Some of these include:

* '''Novite''' - residency was in Terra Nova.
* '''Borneac''' - residency was only in Terra Aurora.
* '''Hodinite''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec; related to royal family.
* '''Morganic''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec or Indochina; related to the Volkovs or to Albanite diplomats.
* '''Volkovic''' - any relation to the Volkov Family.
* '''Coddite''' - relation to Albany via colony residency.
* '''Froyic''' - diasporic descendant of former Albany residents.

While most Albanites claim heritage through either Novite or Borneac classifications, the others may also be used as claim to Albanite status if the criteria are met.

=== Allies ===
Within EarthMC, several groups have publicly endorsed the Albanite people and are considered friends of the group. These include (but are not limited to):

* [[Indochina]]

'''The Principality of Monaco''' is a nation located in Mediterranean France and Italy. It was founded on the 2nd of May 2022.

The Principality of Monaco is ruled by the [[House of Wintour]]

Monaco is a member of the [[Aurora:North Sea Republic|North Sea Republic]]

Monaco is designated an ''antialbanitic'' organization by the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]] due to their historic persecution of the [[Albanites|Albanite]] people.

== History ==
=== May 2022 ===
King wishful_ founds Monaco on the 2nd of May before the release of Terra Aurora to the public after leaving the town of Budapest which was owned at the time by acquaintances of the king from Terra Nova.

Following the founding of the town of Monaco, Monaco joined the nation of Franco-Germany which was the primary continental power during the first month of the server before other nation spawns were able to be created.

Monaco would see slow but steady expansion along the Northwestern Italian coast, bordering the towns of Nice, Genoa (Former) , with the towns of Turin and Milan to the North.

Following the establishment of the Swiss town of Turin, Monaco expanded northwards before negotiating a claim agreement with the town. The town then disbanded out of nowhere a few days later, with no Monégasque action being taken to cause the disbandment of the town.

=== June - July 2022 ===
On June 7th, Monaco would expand Northwards towards Milan and establish a border agreement with the former town of Genoa.

During this month wishful_ would be seen online mining for gold and not much else mainly occurred during this month.

Sometime in June, Monaco officially joined the French portion of the Franco-German Nation.

In July 2022, Monaco would begin a major expansion westwards in order to secure more of the Northwestern Po Valley.

On July 13th, CasuallySimonn joined the town of Monaco and became a councilor.

On July 22nd, the former town of Nice fell into ruin due to the owner being banned. Monaco them promptly claimed over the town in order to expand it's coastline.

=== August 2022 ===
The first development plan of Monaco is released and construction on the road layout begins.

On August 15th, 2022 the first phase of the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict occurs with the former town of Chamonix claiming a claim arm down to Monaco.

Also on August 15th, 2022 the town of Aix-En-Provence is founded in territory Monaco intends to claim, this causes panic in the public. Although both towns are in France, Aix-En begins expanding rapidly eastwards towards Monaco.

On August 18th, 2022 a border agreement is made with the mayor of Aix-En-Provence reaching an end to the expansion of the town eastwards that resulted in the now tail of Monaco. At this same time Monaco also makes major plans to secure its western border and begins amassing gold and residents.

On August 30th, Monaco makes a major expansion Northwards in order to secure its northern border from the newly created Swiss town of Aincrad. This adds to the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict as a result.

On August 31st, Monaco offers diplomatic talks to the town of CERN (Now Annency) to discuss a border agreement, Monaco shows the claims that they request and unfortunately the mayor of Annency takes this an act of aggression and harshly demands that Monaco stay far away from their town although they did not have the resources to even claim the territory they believed was theirs. Monaco even had made offers to assist the town financially should an agreement be reached but ultilmately recidnded the offer due to the hostility. The mayor would not listen to the reasoning of the diplomatic envoy, both being in France at the time, Annency does not receive support from the fellow French after issuing a complaint against the requested claims by Monaco. Following this, Annency joins Francia (now Gaule).

=== September 2022 ===
On September 6th, A Swiss town is planted very close to Monégasque territory, to the unwarranted request of the king, a hostile message is delivered from the mayor of Annency as a result.

On September 7th, the town of Aincrad claimblocks the expansion of Monaco to the north, said claimblock is promptly removed the same day. The town of Annency joins the Swiss nation on this day following the town being scammed by the former nation of Francia, and after hostile words are shared, Monaco opens diplomatic talks with the Swiss nation to discuss the border conflict occuring with Annency, Aincrad, Chamonix, and the former town that was deleted. During this time, Monaco offers many different options for negotiating, including paying the Swiss mayors gold for their trouble, ultimately neither side concedes. The final offer on the table would have relinquished Monégasque claims for a small gold fee. The negotiations never concluded and the Monégasque envoy was banned from the Swiss discord and action was taken against the Monégasque nation unprovoked even though the nation had tried to establish a diplomatic solution.

On September 8th, with the dynmap down, the town of Aincrad creates a massive claimarm south, cutting out major Monégasque claims. A wall is then erected by the town on the Northern Border. As a result, Monaco quickly fortifies its border by amassing a major gold and residents with the assistance of LovelyPeach2001. As a result Monaco is able to claim over 100+ chunks, and LovelyPeach2001 is granted a seat on the Monégasque grand council.

On September 12th, the Swiss town planted near Monaco which at this point has been claimed around, falls after being deleted by staff members due to its proximity to the town being recognized as a claimblock.

Following this skirmish, the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict unofficially entered a ceasefire period with no further actions being taken.

Although it was claimed that Monaco griefed Ice Rails in the Swiss nation, the allegations are false for the simple reason that no Monégasque had access or permissions in any Swiss town. Any and all action taken by Monaco was strictly claim related. The same cannot be said for the Swiss nation, in which the mayor of Aincrad griefed the northern border of Monaco by using snow golems.

=== October 2022 - January 2023 ===
On October 19th, Monaco established itself as a nation after CasuallySimonn amassed a large amount of gold via trading.

Monaco would likewise update their masterplan following the border conflict with the Swiss nation.

On November 7th, the town of Savoy was established by CasuallySimonn following the establishment of the Monégasque nation.

Savoy would expand slowly westwards during this time.

During this time Monaco would solidify its claims near Genoa, coming to the current state it is in as of 4/4/23.

During October, Monaco would be invited to join the Italian League to which Monaco accepted, unfortunately the league never went public and ultimately disbanded.

During this time period Monaco would unofficially declare independence from the nation of France in order to pursue its own foreign policy.

Around November 2022, Monaco was greeted with an offer to join the North Sea Republic to which it declined.

From this point on until February 2023, Monaco entered a period of inactivity.

During this time Monaco would take a neutral stance towards the Swiss nation while the Swiss nation remained hostile to Monaco.

=== February - March 2023 ===
On February 14th, Monaco would join the North Sea Republic after a short diplomatic discussion. Monaco saw this as an opportunity to lift them out of inactivity and at the time, Monaco joining would further solidify claims of the republic in France due to the nation of Francia being within the republic at the time.

On February 19th, Monaco would become a full member state of the North Sea Republic.

On February 24th, Monaco with the help of diplomats from the NSR, would buy the town of Aix-En-Provence, causing it to thus become a territory of the Monégasque nation.

Throughout March, Monaco would slowly get involved with the community in the NSR and slowly exit the period of inactivity.

=== April 2023 - September 2023 ===
Monaco would begin construction on their nation spawn along with revamping of official servers. Monaco and Savoy would also begin massive recruitment efforts in order to expand and to prevent the possible implementation of the overclaiming feature from causing harm to Monégasque territory.

On April 10th, Monaco would acquire a large complex of plots in the town of New_York_City and would begin construction on a massive mapart complex to support the Monégasque and New York economies.

On April 16th, the town of France, France would fall and Monaco would claim a large chunk of coastal territory before the town of Saint Tropez was established there, blocking coastal claims intended for Savoy. As a result of the establishment of this town, and needing to use claims before they expired, Savoy opted to expand west as they now had nowhere else to claim. This was the largest expansion of Monégasque since the consolidation of Savoy and Monaco in October & November 2022.

On April 26th, the town of Aix-En-Provence was partitioned between Savoy and Monaco City.

On May 8th, Monaco would achieve a 80 nation bonus for the first time. Additionally the town of Valetta joined the nation lead by Nachitw.

Throughout the summer of 2023, Monaco would expand it's realm, welcoming new mayors into the nation while also advancing the ecnonmic state of the nation. In late July, Monaco would scrap its original masterplan in favor of constructing the Wintour Palace, and with King wishful_ being elected as Hoyenah of the North Sea Republic, CasuallySimonn was appointed acting Regent of Monaco while wishful_ moved to recruit in Nice, and later move to the NSR capital of Ossory.

=== October 2023 - Current ===
Upon the announcement of Overclaim, Monaco began plans to withdraw from the Po Valley, and areas north of the Coastal Alps. On October 31'st, Monaco completed a full withdraw from the region and began finalization of consolidation of the nation and town while also amassing resources. In November, major construction efforts began underway in Monaco, including the completion of the Saint Nicki's Cathedral.

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec]] ([[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]]), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

== Name and etymology ==
The word "Albanite" is derived from the original town of Albany, founded in February 2021 by AdrianHES. Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York. The land, mandated under American law at the time to be part of New York's sphere of influence, was simply known as Northern New York prior to the establishment of the first Albanite settlement there.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

== Identity ==
The Albanites can be described as a nation, ethnicity, and culture. What qualifies a member of the Albanite people is having ever held residency in /t Albany in either Terra Nova or Terra Aurora. By default, Albanites consider themselves the rightful claimants of the Hudson Valley region, as well as the inheritors of the legacy of Imperial Quebec, whose remaining members are now considered part of the same ethnic sphere. Albanites believe to be the successors of Hodin, the founder and emperor of Quebec on Terra Nova. In addition to seeing the city of Old Albany as the cultural epicenter and capital of the Albanite ethnicity, they also see the region formerly occupied by Imperial Quebec as their inheritance. They are claimants to much of eastern Canada, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Their core sociopolitical tenants are as follows:

* Hudson Valley belongs to the Albanite people.
* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design. They are fiscally conservative and resourceful, and tend to make use of every asset and town chunk they have, and securely storing any items/gold they don't use. The principle belief of making sure every town chunk has some kind of use was propagated heavily by AdrianHES during the early Albanite history, and is partly the reason why the collective population of the Albanites are so high. Financially, Albanites and other Quebecois also have long-honored rules of making deals and loans amongst themselves to grow collective profit. This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.

== Demographics ==

=== Diaspora ===
While all Albanites are considered part of the collective group, regardless of when residency took place, there are several different internal classifications to distinguish between them. Most of these classifications arose following the Albanite diaspora, when culturally-obedient Albanites founded their own legacies elsewhere in EarthMC. Some of these include:

* '''Novite''' - residency was in Terra Nova.
* '''Borneac''' - residency was only in Terra Aurora.
* '''Hodinite''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec; related to royal family.
* '''Morganic''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec or Indochina; related to the Volkovs or to Albanite diplomats.
* '''Volkovic''' - any relation to the Volkov Family.
* '''Coddite''' - relation to Albany via colony residency.
* '''Froyic''' - diasporic descendant of former Albany residents.

While most Albanites claim heritage through either Novite or Borneac classifications, the others may also be used as claim to Albanite status if the criteria are met.

=== Allies ===
Within EarthMC, several groups have publicly endorsed the Albanite people and are considered friends of the group. These include (but are not limited to):

* [[Indochina]]
* [[Vermont]]

=== Antialbanism ===
Several antialbanitic groups and organizations actively target, kill, hunt down, and persecute Albanite players. These groups include:

* [[United States of America|United States]]
* [[New York (Aurora)|New York]]
* [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]]
* [[Madagascar Sucks|Madagascar]]
* [[Aurora:Monaco|Monaco]]

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec]] ([[Combatants for the Liberty of Albany and Quebec|CL-AQ]]), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

== Name and etymology ==
The word "Albanite" is derived from the original town of Albany, founded in February 2021 by AdrianHES. Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York. The land, mandated under American law at the time to be part of New York's sphere of influence, was simply known as Northern New York prior to the establishment of the first Albanite settlement there.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

== Identity ==
The Albanites can be described as a nation, ethnicity, and culture. What qualifies a member of the Albanite people is having ever held residency in /t Albany in either Terra Nova or Terra Aurora. By default, Albanites consider themselves the rightful claimants of the Hudson Valley region, as well as the inheritors of the legacy of Imperial Quebec, whose remaining members are now considered part of the same ethnic sphere. Albanites believe to be the successors of Hodin, the founder and emperor of Quebec on Terra Nova. In addition to seeing the city of Old Albany as the cultural epicenter and capital of the Albanite ethnicity, they also see the region formerly occupied by Imperial Quebec as their inheritance. They are claimants to much of eastern Canada, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Their core sociopolitical tenants are as follows:

* Hudson Valley belongs to the Albanite people.
* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design. They are fiscally conservative and resourceful, and tend to make use of every asset and town chunk they have, and securely storing any items/gold they don't use. The principle belief of making sure every town chunk has some kind of use was propagated heavily by AdrianHES during the early Albanite history, and is partly the reason why the collective population of the Albanites are so high. Financially, Albanites and other Quebecois also have long-honored rules of making deals and loans amongst themselves to grow collective profit. This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.

== Demographics ==

=== Diaspora ===
While all Albanites are considered part of the collective group, regardless of when residency took place, there are several different internal classifications to distinguish between them. Most of these classifications arose following the Albanite diaspora, when culturally-obedient Albanites founded their own legacies elsewhere in EarthMC. Some of these include:

* '''Novite''' - residency was in Terra Nova.
* '''Borneac''' - residency was only in Terra Aurora.
* '''Hodinite''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec; related to royal family.
* '''Morganic''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec or Indochina; related to the Volkovs or to Albanite diplomats.
* '''Volkovic''' - any relation to the Volkov Family.
* '''Coddite''' - relation to Albany via colony residency.
* '''Froyic''' - diasporic descendant of former Albany residents.

While most Albanites claim heritage through either Novite or Borneac classifications, the others may also be used as claim to Albanite status if the criteria are met.

=== Allies ===
Within EarthMC, several groups have publicly endorsed the Albanite people and are considered friends of the group. These include (but are not limited to):

* [[Indochina]]
* [[Vermont]]

=== Antialbanism ===
Several antialbanitic groups and organizations actively target, kill, hunt down, and persecute Albanite players. These groups include:

* [[United States of America|United States]]
* [[New York (Aurora)|New York]]
* [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]]
* [[Madagascar Sucks|Madagascar]]
* [[Aurora:Monaco|Monaco]]

The House of Wintour was founded in 2021 under the guidance of Wishful Carrington Wintour. Originally based out of New York on Nova, the family is specialized in mercantilism and architecture. Under Lucas, the New_York was one of the first towns to reach 940 chunks on Nova. The Wintour Family remained a prominent family within North American politics on Terra Nova via their involvement in the United States of America, with Wishful & Lucas both holding the presidential title, and other family members holding senatorial titles. Previous fallout with members of the family were ultimately resolved before the transition to Terra Aurora.

From April 2022 to November 2023, the Wintour Family unofficially was not in an operational capacity. On November 19th, 2023 Wishful reestablished the house based out of Monaco and began the recruitment and involvement of new members. This comes at a time when those within the family are at an epitome of wealth, mercantilism, and architectural finesse. During this period of reformation, some members of the family were formally removed due to inactivity or simple inability to function within the family structure.

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberation of Albany and Quebec]] (CL-AQ), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design.

This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.

== Demographics ==

=== Diaspora ===
While all Albanites are considered part of the collective group, regardless of when residency took place, there are several different internal classifications to distinguish between them. Most of these classifications arose following the Albanite diaspora, when culturally-obedient Albanites founded their own legacies elsewhere in EarthMC. Some of these include:

* '''Novite''' - residency was in Terra Nova.
* '''Borneac''' - residency was only in Terra Aurora.
* '''Hodinite''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec; related to royal family.
* '''Morganic''' - lived within mainland Imperial Quebec or Indochina; related to the Volkovs or to Albanite diplomats.
* '''Volkovic''' - any relation to the Volkov Family.
* '''Coddite''' - relation to Albany via colony residency.
* '''Froyic''' - diasporic descendant of former Albany residents.

While most Albanites claim heritage through either Novite or Borneac classifications, the others may also be used as claim to Albanite status if the criteria are met.

=== Allies ===
Within EarthMC, several groups have publicly endorsed the Albanite people and are considered friends of the group. These include (but are not limited to):

* [[Indochina]]
* [[Vermont]]

=== Antialbanism ===
Several antialbanitic groups and organizations actively target, kill, hunt down, and persecute Albanite players. These groups include:

* [[United States of America|United States]]
* [[New York (Aurora)|New York]]
* [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]]
* [[Madagascar Sucks|Madagascar]]

Originally occupying the land north of New York in the city of [[Albany]], the Albanites grew to become one of the dominant cities of the Northeast Megalopolis, even uniting Imperial Quebec against foreign aggression during the [[Cold War|North American Pact War]]. However, by mid-2022 and the dawn of [[Terra Aurora]], the Albanites were sent into a diaspora with some of their descendants founding individual towns across the globe, and many gathering in a city on the island of Borneo, subjects of the [[Aurora:Indochina|Indochinese Empire]].

The Albanites have historically rallied behind various leaders who've held the title of mayor. Among them include BattingSine, BetaCheese, Deathlife23, and [[AdrianHES]], the latter of which is considered the "father" of the Albanite people. Following the criminal activities of the [[Volkov Family]], in November 2022, many prominent Albanites were banned including AdrianHES himself, in a betrayal by Volkov member Senor. This act was part of a coordinated attack by the [[House of Wintour|Wintour Family]], the tribe that historically controlled [[New York (town)|New York]]. They are the long-time enemies of the Albanite people and claimants of the Hudson Valley region, and control of the land has been contested for nearly four years.

In early 2024, the admins of EarthMC agreed to unban AdrianHES. In his first move after being unbanned, he once again became mayor of the Albanite diaspora in Indochina, rallying the members together behind the idea of unity. By this point, the Albanites had endured nearly a year and a half of targeted persecution from global leaders and entities, many of which were under the influence of the Wintour circle. This later became known as antialbanism. In the months after his unban, AdrianHES promised his people that soon they would return to the Hudson Valley and re-establish Albany in its original location.

Plans to re-establish Albany had been drawn even before AdrianHES' unban. The Indochinese Albanites had coordinated with the government of [[Vermont]], who controlled the majority of Hudson Valley land, and an agreement was struck that the Albanite people would be allowed to return to their homeland. However, several militant members of the Wintour family attempted to stop this by pressuring the Vermont government to deny the Albanites entry into the Hudson Valley. The agreements were eventually honored, however, and the Albanites were allowed to return in early October 2024.

In October 2024, AdrianHES re-founded old Albany in the western Hudson Valley region, approximately 20 chunks west of its original location. This marked the beginning of the Albanite return. The land, currently known as [[Mandatory Albany]], is now seen as the cultural epicenter of the Albanite people, simultaneously existing alongside other cities controlled by them. According to its founding policies, anyone who can claim Albanite heritage by proving they were once members of /t Albany (on either Nova or Aurora) are eligible for free citizenship in Mandatory Albany, or by other specific means as listed below.

Mandatory Albany is currently a client of Vermont, its capital being the City of [[Old Albany]]. It is currently controlled by AdrianHES, as the head of a militant vanguard organization known as the [[Combatants for the Liberation of Albany and Quebec]] (CL-AQ), an Albanite-Quebecois liberation army.

== Name and etymology ==
The word "Albanite" is derived from the original town of Albany, founded in February 2021 by AdrianHES. Originally derived from the Gaelic name for Scotland, ''Alba'', the name ''Albany'' was chosen by AdrianHES in early 2021 when he founded the town in New York territory. The first occupiers of Albany were a small friend group who established a settlement sometime prior to 2020, and who were later conquered and destroyed by New York. The land, mandated under American law at the time to be part of New York's sphere of influence, was simply known as Northern New York prior to the establishment of the first Albanite settlement there.

During its early history, Albanites referred to themselves as ''New Yorkers,'' as the formation of an independent ethnic identity was heavily dissuaded by the American government at the time. Several months after its founding, however, Albany residents began referring to themselves as ''Albanians'', simply as occupiers of the land. This was the term used for most of the people's history. Other Terra Nova terms include Hudsonian and Albano-Quebecois. By the major diasporic era, Albanites also referred to themselves as ''Albano-Indochinese'' or ''Bornean'', as the dominant occupiers of the island of Borneo.

== Identity ==
The Albanites can be described as a nation, ethnicity, and culture. What qualifies a member of the Albanite people is having ever held residency in /t Albany in either Terra Nova or Terra Aurora. By default, Albanites consider themselves the rightful claimants of the Hudson Valley region, as well as the inheritors of the legacy of Imperial Quebec, whose remaining members are now considered part of the same ethnic sphere. Albanites believe to be the successors of Hodin, the founder and emperor of Quebec on Terra Nova. In addition to seeing the city of Old Albany as the cultural epicenter and capital of the Albanite ethnicity, they also see the region formerly occupied by Imperial Quebec as their inheritance. They are claimants to much of eastern Canada, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. Their core sociopolitical tenants are as follows:

* Hudson Valley belongs to the Albanite people.
* The Albanites are the inheritors to the legacy of Hodin and the Quebec royal family.
* One day, Quebec will be re-established with Albany as the capital.
* New York and the Wintour family will be vanquished, and their land absorbed by Quebec.

In addition to these beliefs, other cultural traits of Albanites include a practical approach to architecture and city design. They are fiscally conservative and resourceful, and tend to make use of every asset and town chunk they have, and securely storing any items/gold they don't use. The principle belief of making sure every town chunk has some kind of use was propagated heavily by AdrianHES during the early Albanite history, and is partly the reason why the collective population of the Albanites are so high. Financially, Albanites and other Quebecois also have long-honored rules of making deals and loans amongst themselves to grow collective profit. This internal loaning system was one of the contributing factors for Albany's rapid land expansion in 2021.
