	The town named "Circassia" was established on the 16th of June 2026 by Hatuqay, and Lip was the first other member. The town instantly joined the Soviet Union and developed basic infrastructure, including houses and a government building built by Bjedugh and Hatuqay, as well as an underground cave base settled by Lip.

	During this era, the Byzantine Empire established a neighboring outpost named Colchis next to Circassia, with the stated intention to establish a colony, implying future expansion. Although the Circassians were ~~vary~~ at first, even considering an alliance with the Turks to fight the Byzantines, the Byzantine Empire eventually abandoned Colchis, and Circassia annexed the ruined outpost. Circassia also annexed the friendly town of VigNation after its owner became inactive. During this time, many others joined the town.

	During this time, Hatuqay struck a deal with the mayor of Osogbo, an African town, which allowed him to set up a shop there without having to pay the 5 daily that he would need to pay in order to make Anapa open for public spawn. He set up a TNT shop that over the coming months would become one of the largest TNT businesses in the server thanks to his extremely ~~agressive~~ marketing. Relations improved with the Khanate of Crimea, and when the Khanate was eventually sold to Claus who became the new Khan, the amicable relations continued.

	In a diplomatic move, Circassia formalized a friendship treaty with the Crimean Khanate, a sub-nation of Ukraine. The treaty was drafted after the Grand Prince of Circassia and the Khan of Crimea held a discussion. This treaty solidified their positive relationship and committed both entities to long-term peace and collaboration on common regional projects. Meanwhile, military vigilance remained a high priority on the eastern borders. When a Georgian scout was discovered snooping around the Circassian towns of Terek and Khabez, Hatuqay eliminated the trespasser, maintaining the security of the Kabardia expansion. The scout dropped stacks of TNT, which turned out to be purchased from Hatuqay himself earlier. Hatuqay sold the TNT back to the scout, thus managing to sell the same TNT twice.

	Regional stability was temporarily disrupted when a player founded a new town in Sochi as part of Iberia (not to be confused with the earlier Sochi, now known as Tuapse). When Circassian leadership informed him that he was encroaching on their territorial claims, the player responded ~~agressively~~. Citizens ambushed and killed the player, with the mayor delivering the final blow. Following his defeat, the player defected to the enemy faction of Georgia. The town remained as part of Georgia, making it the closest Georgian town to Circassia and a way for Georgian players to teleport near Circassian territories easily; which later proved to be costly when some Circassian residents were killed by Georgian hunters while gathering resources. It also served as a way to claimblock (prevent Circassia from expanding in that direction).

To mark this monumental occasion, a grand victory celebration was held in Poti. Citizens from all across Iberia gathered to commemorate the victory and the newly established peace.

	UPDATED 26.10.2026		The principality experienced a wave of cultural and civic development, marked by the construction of several new buildings across the territory. A national anthem was officially chosen to represent Circassia, and plans were finalized for the construction of a second massive map art platform. During this period, the capital town of Anapa-Circassia was officially renamed to simply Anapa for the sake of brevity. Furthermore, Hatuqay was recognized as the Mufti of the Caucasus by the Caliphate.

			=== Anapa Metropolis ===
			As Circassia grew in power, internal debates arose regarding the potential establishment of a fully independent sovereign state, the Nation of Circassia, which would operate as a close ally to Iberia. While independence offered ideological benefits, it presented a severe mechanical drawback: the loss of the massive nation bonus provided by the overarching Iberian kingdom. Without this bonus, Circassian towns would have been left vulnerable and unable to maintain their massive land claims. Ultimately, the decision was made to remain a constituent part of Iberia to ensure the security of the towns. This period also saw a general decline in overall Iberian player activity following the end of summer. To combat this and actively safeguard the crucial nation bonus, aggressive recruitment drives were launched.

			Border tensions briefly flared as the Georgian claimblock town of Sochi became a persistent source of annoyance and friction for Circassia.

	Chat records dating back to 2022 confirm that the initial concept for a Circassian nation in the EarthMC Minecraft server was discussed by players of Circassian origin. However, these early plans were never fully realized. For the most part, historical Circassian territories on the server were consistently occupied by random players with no connection to Circassia, a fact known to players who would go on to create the Circassian subnation years later. Fragmented archive data from older server iterations confirms that a town named "Circassia" did briefly exist at one point. However, this early settlement played no significant geopolitical role, and its ultimate fate remains unrecorded.

	The residents of Iberia and Circassia had a friendly relationship at this point. Over time, the leaders of Circassia realized that the Soviet capital of Moscow was simply too far away, and too uninvolved in the region. The Soviet Union's slow but steady decline in power and population was another factor, as it meant a lower nationbonus. In the 27th of July, the town left the Soviet Union on good terms and officially joined the Kingdom of Iberia, as was originally planned. Circassia had previously held the status of a Soviet Socialist Republic, making it an autonomous territory, this status became unclear when they left the Soviet Union to join Iberia. Circassia remained de facto autonomous although it no longer held the title of a republic - it was a town of Iberia. During this time, Iberia was at war with Georgia, thus putting the town of Circassia in war with Georgia as well. ''Some'' Georgian players attacked Circassia from time to time and even managed to kill a citizen.		The residents of Iberia and Circassia had a friendly relationship at this point.

	While collecting wood, a town member was ambushed by hostile players using invisibility potions and bows. Assuming the enemy to be Georgians, town mayor decided to mount a counter-offensive to take revenge and fight for their nation. Despite not being a good PVPer, he decided to try his luck and purchased some cheap combat gear and potions and started patrolling the Caucasus. Tracking a Georgian target in a Georgian outpost located in southern Azerbaijan, he launched an attack. The operation was a success; yielding three kills.

	Following a discussion with other members of the Iberian nation, Circassia's leaders finalized their plans for the newly renamed town of Anapa's future. They decided completely destroy the existing, organically built village and rebuild it entirely from scratch as a planned, well-designed city. Citizens traveled to various cities all around the world, traversing manually or utilizing teleportation for extreme distances, such as visiting the Americas. They took notes and studied the layouts of these global cities, gathering inspiration for the future city.

	To fund the planned city rebuild, Circassia established the Circassian Mining Corps and launched an underwater mining operation. By utilizing the Nether to travel immense distances, the miners accessed completely isolated, previously untouched caverns. Simultaneously, the town formed the Exploration Corps. This group embarked on long-distance expeditions to the extreme corners of the world and various exotic locations. Upon reaching these distant milestones, the Corps established a tradition of leaving signed markers to permanently document Circassia's presence across the globe.

	The capital of Anapa experienced a population boom, while territorial growth continued unabated as the expansion of Khabez was officially completed. Beyond internal growth, Circassian players sometimes engaged in hostilities with neighboring Georgian territories. Some raids resulted in significant amounts of dropped loot and gold for the Circassian treasury.

	Underground, the highly anticipated grand metro project saw major progress. After discussions with the leaders of Ukrainian and Turkish metro projects, as well as ~~wih~~ Iberian leadership, planning for the central station officially commenced. The metro system was designed to utilize ice boat technology, guaranteeing ultra-fast travel. To supply the necessary materials, the Circassian mining corps spent grueling hours in the earth's coldest regions harvesting raw ice. This was compressed into blue ice, the fastest and most expensive ice variant available. The tunnel excavation was an incredibly daunting task due to it being in deepslate level. At one point, a mercenary was hired and promised handsome compensation to help with the digging. However, the sheer scale of the project caused the worker to quit mid-job, refusing the gold payment entirely. Consequently, the excavation was completed 100% by Circassian citizens with minimal outside assistance.		Underground, the highly anticipated grand metro project saw major progress.

	The completed blue-ice line successfully connected Anapa to Crimea and Turkey. This connection established a scale of single-line infrastructure virtually non-existent even in Iberia proper. Travel between Crimea and Circassia was reduced to mere minutes, bringing a heavy influx of Ukrainian tourists to Anapa to view landmarks like the nearly finished Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque. Every Circassian city would eventually receive its own dedicated metro station, while a tunnel connecting Circassia to Poti was finalised. Simultaneously, a mysterious railway was discovered cutting through the Caucasus Mountains and ending abruptly. Investigation concluded that this was built by Soviet citizens. Negotiations to connect the two transit systems ultimately broke down when Soviet representatives started making demands regarding Iberian policy.

	Despite operating under the banner of the Kingdom of Iberia, a nation widely recognized for its formidable PvP capabilities, Circassia maintains a distinct cultural identity. The principality is not PvP-focused, prioritizing development, roleplay, community building and economic growth instead. However, Circassia remains a loyal constituent of the crown, supporting the Iberian army and the broader national war effort. Internally, Circassia adopted a zero-tolerance policy regarding security and law enforcement. The government systematically outlawed all known scammers, criminals, toxic players, and major figures from enemy nations. Furthermore, Circassia universally honored the ban lists of the overarching Iberian nation and its fellow allied towns. The sheer volume of outlawed individuals grew so vast that it evolved into a meme, with citizens joking that Circassia was attempting to set the server's "outlaw world record."
