The South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) is a nation in Terra Aurora, a part of Antarctic Union. Founded on the 15th of June 2023 by Porbei, the nation has stayed a relatively small power in the Southern Hemisphere, occasionally causing bouts on the international stage. Many shops have been hosted in SGSSI over the months, including potion shops, ice shops, and many others - showing an active economy and playerbase.

History

Foundations

15th of July 2023, the foundation of SGSSI - only a fortnight or more since the foundation of its principal city, Grytviken. A large celebration was thrown in front of the South Georgia banner, one of the first structures built on the island.

Evolution, Civil War and Decay

The nation lay unchanging for a while, with little progress being made and individual residents going on their own endeavours and little being done in terms of collaboration. This was until SGSSI joined the Antarctic Union on the 17th of July. Not long after SGSSI was founded, the island of Nieuw Zeeland was claimed by F1rret - a deviant in the political world of SGSSI at the time - with an elected prime minister and parliament - vastly different to the legislative structure of today. F1rret was an interesting character due to his obsession with obtaining recognition and protection for the Dutch language - issuing many bills in parliament, all of which failed due to the anti-Dutch MPs of the time - with Prime Minsiter RockingDudeCool being staunchly against it - even passing bills of his own against the Dutch culture. All of this opposition led to F1rret deciding to leave the nation and join a town in Patagonia. Rightfully so, the residents of SGSSI were furious at the betrayal of the man to an enemy of the time - many attempts were made on F1rret's life - most notably by dzik32, who hunted him relentlessly for days. This turmoil in the nation eventually led to 2 other nation members running off to Antarctica to form a town of their own, Belgrano, this eventually died off after Hymer_George accidentally lava casted his own base and ended up giving up - along with AKKIOSS too. Following these events, the nation slowly decayed, with residents losing interest in playing and burning out, only two players had not been deleted at one point until the invaders came...

Invasion on home soil

Visit main article: Antarctic-Spanish War

On the 13th of October 2023, there was an incursion on South Georgian territory in the form of an illegal claim formed using a claim arm by the Patagonian town of Falklands, this led to a declaration of war by the Antarctic Union which began the battle of South Georgia. In this battle, many mercenaries arrived in support of SGSSI and helped to defend from the Patagonian and Spanish attackers along the border wall; the battle really only took place on the first day - as the war tapered off until the 16th. Leading up to this date, no real aggression took place and the mods slowly began removing the illegal claims on South Georgian territory. On the 16th of October 2023 the war was officially declared nullified with the erasure of all Patagonian claims to the island - following this victory a Friendship Declaration was signed between SGSSI and Patagonia, ending a long history of hunting and aggression between the two nations.
