May 2022

Following the founding of the town of Monaco, Monaco joined the nation of Franco-Germany which was the primary continental power during the first month of the server before other nation spawns were able to be created.

Monaco would see slow but steady expansion along the Northwestern Italian coast, bordering the towns of Nice, Genoa (Former) , with the towns of Turin and Milan to the North.

Following the establishment of the Swiss town of Turin, Monaco expanded northwards before negotiating a claim agreement with the town. The town then disbanded out of nowhere a few days later, with no Monégasque action being taken to cause the disbandment of the town.

June - July 2022

On June 7th, Monaco would expand Northwards towards Milan and establish a border agreement with the former town of Genoa.

On July 13th, CasuallySimonn joined the town of Monaco and became a councilor.

On July 22nd, the former town of Nice fell into ruin due to the owner being banned. Monaco them promptly claimed over the town in order to expand it's coastline.

August 2022

The first development plan of Monaco is released and construction on the road layout begins.

On August 15th, 2022 the first phase of the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict occurs with the former town of Chamonix claiming a claim arm down to Monaco.

Also on August 15th, 2022 the town of Aix-En-Provence is founded in territory Monaco intends to claim, this causes panic in the public. Although both towns are in France, Aix-En begins expanding rapidly eastwards towards Monaco.

On August 18th, 2022 a border agreement is made with the mayor of Aix-En-Provence reaching an end to the expansion of the town eastwards that resulted in the now tail of Monaco. At this same time Monaco also makes major plans to secure its western border and begins amassing gold and residents.

On August 30th, Monaco makes a major expansion Northwards in order to secure its northern border from the newly created Swiss town of Aincrad. This adds to the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict as a result.

On August 31st, Monaco offers diplomatic talks to the town of CERN (Now Annency) to discuss a border agreement, Monaco shows the claims that they request and unfortunately the mayor of Annency takes this an act of aggression and harshly demands that Monaco stay far away from their town although they did not have the resources to even claim the territory they believed was theirs. Monaco even had made offers to assist the town financially should an agreement be reached but ultilmately recidnded the offer due to the hostility. The mayor would not listen to the reasoning of the diplomatic envoy, both being in France at the time, Annency does not receive support from the fellow French after issuing a complaint against the requested claims by Monaco. Following this, Annency joins Francia (now Gaule).

September 2022

On September 6th, A Swiss town is planted very close to Monégasque territory, to the unwarranted request of the king, a hostile message is delivered from the mayor of Annency as a result.

On September 7th, the town of Aincrad claimblocks the expansion of Monaco to the north, said claimblock is promptly removed the same day. The town of Annency joins the Swiss nation on this day following the town being scammed by the former nation of Francia, and after hostile words are shared, Monaco opens diplomatic talks with the Swiss nation to discuss the border conflict occuring with Annency, Aincrad, Chamonix, and the former town that was deleted. During this time, Monaco offers many different options for negotiating, including paying the Swiss mayors gold for their trouble, ultimately neither side concedes. The final offer on the table would have relinquished Monégasque claims for a small gold fee. The negotiations never concluded and the Monégasque envoy was banned from the Swiss discord and action was taken against the Monégasque nation unprovoked even though the nation had tried to establish a diplomatic solution.

On September 8th, with the dynmap down, the town of Aincrad creates a massive claimarm south, cutting out major Monégasque claims. A wall is then erected by the town on the Northern Border. As a result, Monaco quickly fortifies its border by amassing a major gold and residents with the assistance of LovelyPeach2001. As a result Monaco is able to claim over 100+ chunks, and LovelyPeach2001 is granted a seat on the Monégasque grand council.

On September 12th, the Swiss town planted near Monaco which at this point has been claimed around, falls after being deleted by staff members due to its proximity to the town being recognized as a claimblock.

Following this skirmish, the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict unofficially entered a ceasefire period with no further actions being taken.

Although it was claimed that Monaco griefed Ice Rails in the Swiss nation, the allegations are false for the simple reason that no Monégasque had access or permissions in any Swiss town. Any and all action taken by Monaco was strictly claim related. The same cannot be said for the Swiss nation, in which the mayor of Aincrad griefed the northern border of Monaco by using snow golems.

February - March 2023

On February 14th, Monaco would join the North Sea Republic after a short diplomatic discussion.
