History

Early History

Town Creation

Atlanta was founded by RobotGamer__ on May 3, 2022 just 2 days after the early access release of Terra Aurora. Some early residents include Bliksemman, gebalat and MartialFelix.

The town joined the nation of Louisiana, which later became known as the United States.

Early Plans (May 2022)

RobotGamer__ originally planned to create the Kingdom of America which would have a Constitutional Monarchy, with him as King. In the early access days, there were discussions between RobotGamer__ and karatoss (the leader of Louisiana) over the potential of creating a Kingdom of America, which Louisiana would merge into. These plans never came to fruition, and the idea for a Kingdom of America was swiftly dropped after seeing the many nations being created across North America.

As a result, RobotGamer__ began to focus on creating something more realistic: the Kingdom of Georgia. The claims of which would be based around the real life State of Georgia. A government for the nation has been fully established, with an entrenched Constitution that emphasises the superiority of the Senate in having the ability to amend the Constitution without the need for the King's approval. The Senate is to be made up of all Mayors of the nation, and vote on all laws and major decisions made. Progress towards forming the nation has been slow, but picked up dramatically towards the end of 2022.

Mid History

Revival

After a short period of inactivity from RobotGamer__, lasting about 2 weeks, he decided to return and put a lot of energy into getting the town back on its feet again. Bliksemman proved to be a loyal resident who stuck around during this period of inactivity, and remained enthusiastic about helping out in the town. As a result, RobotGamer__ appointed Bliksemman to the position of Co-Mayor, and he has proven a fantastic active Co-Mayor helping with town projects and recruitment.

Rapid Recruitment

Mayor of Atlanta, RobotGamer__, began recruiting heavily in November, 2022. Town activity prior to November had been very poor, so RobotGamer__ decided to get more active and ramp up recruitment. Between November 17, 2022 and December 27, 2022 he managed to recruit over 60 new residents. This made Atlanta one of the largest towns in the continent.

Reformation of the United States

Atlanta proved a loyal member of the United States nation (previously named Louisiana), and when US leadership became inactive, RobotGamer__ spent two months negotiating to attempt to become the new nation leader. While RobotGamer__ was unsucceful in taking leadership, they did come to an agreement in the form of the Reformation of the United States Treaty which agreed that the nation would rename back to Louisiana, allowing RobotGamer__ to create a new United States nation. To this date, the United States has proven to be one of the most democratic nations in Aurora - having the most laws than any other nation. Atlanta has always been one of the largest in North America, and currently stands near the 100 resident mark.

Recent History

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of loyal Atlanta resident, Prince MakRouss, Atlanta rapidly increased its population during the summer of 2023. During this period Atlanta became the largest town in Aurora, reaching over 300 residents. Emperor and Mayor RobotGamer__ recognises MakRouss for his part in recruitment and awarded him the Medal of Freedom. He was also given a special mention during a speech given by the Emperor at the event celebrating Atlanta's 300 residents.
