History

Foundation

The nation of Spain was planned to have been founded a week after Terra Nova's release, but many of the main members having to deal with exams IRL delayed it until September 16, 2018. Everything was going well until the 18th of November 2018, when Zqppy came back and was made the new King of Spain. However, he didn't have the same hype he had in July 2017 when he made Spain on EMC classic, so he resigned, giving up his throne to EchoOcelot.

The first collapse

This began the period referred to in Spanish history as the first collapse, in which Spain totally collapsed due to EchoOcelot refusing to accept Spain’s demand to resign. After rebellions on the 22nd of November, EchoOcelot moved the capital to The Hague and renamed the country to the Netherlands, making the Spanish cities rebel and begin gathering gold.

The saving took up to 15 days, because of only a few, mainly NSGamer_, IronFerreumCubum, and Pulpo_Pol being able to get online and gather gold. However, on December 5 2018, this effort was justified despite all the trouble. The new country of Spain was made, this time under the administration of NSGamer_, who had previously ruled over Spain in Classic until May/June 2018.

Relations

On the week of Resurrection, as Spaniards call the week in which Spain was founded again, the Spanish government established relations with France. The government had also been aiding the Byzantines against the Ottoman Turks but remained neutral in most ongoing conflicts.

Spain suffered some changes, with the peaceful independence of the Philippines and the incorporation of Florida. The Spanish Army fought the Battle of Flanders against Jevil and managed to get him to retreat, at the cost of a fallen soldier.

The Spanish triumphed over locals and Echo's Netherlands at the Low Countries, managing to own Flanders, Wallonia, Utrecht, and the last of these, Leeuwarden, which was bought for 32 gold.

Colonization and a new king

On December 6, 2018, king NSGamer_ abdicated and traveled to the Caribbean to make the Spanish Antilles, a young yet promising colony. Another overseas kingdom, Perú, was going to be created soon, but that never happened. Ferreo I was appointed as the new King of Spain and the capital was moved to Cadiz.

The second collapse

Since the new king came, Spain starting declining with all the mayors going inactive and tons of towns falling. NSGamer_ even quit causing the Spanish Antilles to fall. Spain quickly turned into a dead nation with just a few small towns across the peninsula and an inactive king.

Aragon

The big city of Perpignan led by 32Pengun started the nation of Aragon in eastern Iberia. It took control over multiple cities of Spain, such as New Madrid, Valencia, and the Balearics islands in a short amount of time. New cities were started by Aragon such as Zaragoza, Pamiers and La Marina, to strengthen it's grip over Eastern Spain. Aragon also grew closer with Portugal as 32Pengun and iDa3m0n became better friends over time and both fought against Spain.

Days later, the nation of Spain was sold by Ferreo I to Zqppy and was moved to Italy. Aragon took this as a chance to grow and invited all leftover Spanish towns promising a new and stronger Spain. Many towns accepted and Aragon was named to Hispania, which was then later quickly named to Spain when the name became available. Castellon became the new capital, which is known as Madrid today.

Revival

The new Spain slowly started growing due to new cities being planted all across it. It started the expansion around the globe and into Morocco and also started a defensive pact with the GRE and France known as The Triumvirate aiming to stand stronger together. Spain started to become a relevant and decent European nation.

Iberian unification

On the 3rd of November, 2019, a Portuguese-owned town in Galicia left Spain for Portugal, officially breaking the border agreement between the two nations. Spain ultimately demanded Portugal to remove the town. Portugal didn't cede, and on November 6 Spain declared war, beginning The Iberian War. Shortly after the declaration enemies of Spain like Britain and the German Empire announced their support for Portugal, with Portugal receiving military support mainly from Britain. During this war, Spain also united with the rebel nation of Castile after it was sold to them. Since then, most Portuguese players were banned for doxxing. It was later found out they also duplicated gold to win the war and collaborated with alts. These bans secured an easy victory for Spain, but the war is still ongoing as some Portuguese players refuse to surrender. On January 16, 2021, Portugal laid down its arms and joined Spain as an autonomous province, and was later fully annexed after President 32BGuns scammed the Portuguese leader into giving him Portugal. Today, as most Portuguese players either left the server or moved to Brazil, only a few remain in Lisbon. The remaining Portuguese players enjoy the same rights as any other peninsular citizen.

Coalition of Europe

After a peace deal with Britain and the GRE, it was decided to form a pact to fight against rebel nations inside each others territory. Spain and France joined this pact and it was officially formed on January 3, 2020. With that said, Spain declared war on all rebel nations of the other countries. On October 27 Britain left the pact as it saw the pact as useless and annoying. Since then the pact went very inactive and was later reformed into Europa Pact.

Europa Pact

On December 19, 2020, Spain reformed the Coalition of Europe into the Europa Pact alongside Austria, Germany, France and the GRE. Its aim was to further protect the stability of Europe and stop any threat from entering each others borders. Terra Mariana was later added to the pact aswell.

Uruguayan crisis

With Uruguay getting a new leader after getting sold for a low price, it declared its independence from Brazil. Brazil did not want to tolerate it but was forced to after Spain and some of its European allies announced their support for Uruguay. After officially gaining its independence from Brazil, Uruguay joined Spain as a viceroyalty and was later intergrated into La Plata aswell.

Hispanic unification

After almost 2 years of being seperated, the Latin American community of EarthMC and Spain decided to unite under 1 strong empire with the nations of Argentina, Chile, Peru and Paraguay joining as viceroyalties. This added almost 4000 chunks, 28 towns and 90 residents to the empire.

Conflict with Caesariensis

On May 20, 2021, Caesariensis planted a town over the agreed border with Spain called Chercell. Negotiations started with Mzak proposing a new border, but he later deleted all of his messages and left the group chat. Around a week later the Spanish started daily raids on the town of Cherchell and planted 2 towns in Caesariensis's territory. The Spanish regularely received help from unknown pvpers and soldiers from the viceroyalties, mainly from Colombia. However, as Mzak stopped talking everywhere Caesariensis started to slowly die out with Mzak even quitting. This lead Chercell to make it's own nation called Algeria. It was quickly found out that the nation of Algeria was funded by Nubia, a nation that had been backing up the town of Cherchell against Spain's raids. This worsened Spanish-Nubian relations as Nubia would now have directly invaded Spanish lands.

War with France

Spain, alongside the Europa Pact, voted to declare war on France after its refusal to kick towns in Austria, Spain, and the GRE, officially breaking their border agreements. One of the border violating towns was in the Pyrenees. France quickly lost Bordeaux and Cagliari to Spain, Corsica to Italia and Carcassonne to Austria due to internal unrest and negative opinions on the French leader Megali.

A province is a nation made in an area which the Spanish nation range (3000 blocks) cannot reach. Every province has a governor who leads the nation while being loyal to the Spanish monarchy.

Spain currently has 2 province, which are Canarias and Portugal. There has also been a province in the past lasting over a year which was Catalonia, but later fell due to inactivity and was fully taken over by Spain.

Catalonia was an autonomous Spanish province region located in northern Iberia. Catalonia wanted independence, but the King immediately rejected the plan. However, after long talks, CrossTwinz and Pengun came to an agreement to have Catalonia as an in-game nation, but officially as a province of Spain.

The nation of Canarias is an overseas province of Spain located on the canary islands, a region the Spanish nation range can't reach. The current governor is Grsy.

The nation of Portugal is an autonomous province which joined Spain on January 16, 2021, officially ending the Iberian war. It is now located in an ocean town to serve as an /n spawn for the city of Porto.
