===The Founding===

Tabarca was founded on the 10th of August, 2022, and marked the start of Genoa's expansion into North Africa.

Tabarca was founded on the 10th of August, 2022, and marked the start of Genoa's expansion into North Africa. In the early days, the town slowly expanded towards the border with Carthage. To its West as also the town of Annaba, of a nation of the same name. This saw the young town expand out into the desert early on, thanks to funding from the Genoese Government.

=== Overclaim Preparation ===

With the announcement of overclaim and the later introduction of a refund period for unclaiming land, Genoese territories began to be reorganised. While the bulk of this happened in Italy, where the bulk of Genoese possessions were, there was also some reorganisation of North African Territories. The town of Annaba had been purchased by Genoa from its founders and was being held by Senator PawluC di Medici. During this time period too, the town of Carthage, which was also the capital of the nation of Carthage, decided to join Genoa.

==== Border Reorganisation ====

With Carthage's entry into Genoa, a chunk exchange took place which saw the border between the two turned into a straight line, with Tabarca claiming slightly more chunks from Carthage than Carthage did from Tabarca. This chunk exchange also allowed the final completion of the initially planned town square, which had to be slightly reshaped due to initial claim restrictions. The border that came about as a result of the chunk swap is still in place to this day

To reduce the number of empty and unnecessary chunks held by the town, the decision was made to unclaim all of the empty desert that had been early claimed by the town. This increased number of available chunks, however, also enabled the expansion of the town in new areas. Additionally, the bridge to Fort Galite was destroyed and the land the bridge once occupied unclaimed.

==== Annexation of Annaba ====

Alongside the decision to re-organise South Italy, the Genoese government decided to have Tabarca annex the Eastern portion of Annaba. Over a period of two days, Annaba was slowly unclaimed and the gold transferred to Tabarca to allow claiming to take place. Not all of Annaba was claimed, with the remaining Western portions that were unclaimed eventually being taken by the Papal town of Constantine. The exact claims were tweaked with slightly in an attempt to optimise the number of claims Tabarca held, with a handful of empty inland chunks being unclaimed shortly before the end of the refund period.
