=== Terra Nostra Public Launch ===
'''<u>May 1st:</u>'''


The playerbase of EarthMC exponentially expanded, increasing the number of towns and residents in Korea.
=== Colonial Era (April 24 - June 8, 2026)===
'''<u>May 21st<u>'''
Originally, the nation of Korea operated under Japan as an autonomous military district, with total control over internal affairs and government structure, but with limited capabilities with foreign relations. The main focus during this period was protecting the area defined under the Raijin Treaty from growing Chinese interest in the area and preventative measures to dissuade players from creating a North Korea. The towns of Jeju, Gyeongju, and Kamigawa (now Taean) saw significant growth during this period, with large scale builds, centralization of power, and town settlements focusing in those regions. On May 1st, the first national elections were held, with prime minister DruiDwastaken_ running unopposed. During his term, Korea was split up into 4 administrative districts and 9 ministerial positions. Ministers often switched out but the categories remained relatively constant. Korea also began initiating foreign relations with nations sharing a common interest, mainly other Japanese autonomous regions and Bokkai and its allies.
 
'''<u>The Sino-Japanese War</u>'''
During the Colonial Era, the nation of Japan had been engaging in skirmishes with several Chinese nations over Japanese ownership of Taiwan and Chinese support of the nations of Yamato and the Empire of Japan, who were already seen as aggressor states by the Japanese government. Japan had been expanding its presence overseas, while the Chinese nations organized a united front to take on the Japanese more effectively. On June 8th, 2026, tensions boiled over and Japan officially declared war on the nations of PRC, ROC, and Yamato, bringing in the rest of the Chinese United Front and starting one of the biggest wars in Nostra history.
 
Meanwhile, Korea had taken on a neutral stance in most foreign policy and already had its hands full limiting both Chinese and Japanese presence on the peninsula, and when the war broke out, Korea had become the front line for new wartime colonial holdings. As a Japanese-controlled region, Korea was used as an early jumping off point for Japan to plant towns in Chinese controlled portions of Jilin and Liaoning. In order to maintain a neutral stance and retain control over the peninsula, Korea held an emergency vote among parliament members and declared independence the same day, successfully preventing colonization by both parties.
 
=== The Independent Republic of Korea (June 8, 2026 - Present)===
The weeks following the official declaration of independence saw a significant amount of growth and initial activity. At least a dozen towns were settled in these weeks, with the towns of Daejeon, Chongju, Wonsan, and Konohagakure (Daegu) growing particularly fast. Upon independence, Korea also joined the Pan-Asian League as a secondary line of defense independent of both Chinese and Japanese factions. Kamigawa and Jeju continued to expand and project Korean influence, with Korea's 2nd large scale event (the 1st being the nation's creation), taking place in Jeju with at least 30-50 players in attendance.
 
'''<u>The Creation of North Korea and War of Independence (July 25, 2026 - August 22, 2026)</u>'''
Shortly before declaring independence from Japan, the town of Jindo was settled by a small community, becoming quite active in the following days. During this time, the status of the town of Pyongyang was still contested, as it had been owned by Chinese mayors aligning themselves with the United Front and maintaining minimal contact with Korean officials. As the Jindo group had prior connection to the founder of the town, they were tasked with acquiring and developing Pyongyang as a Korean town. Because the group had been so active and showed an interest in participating in national affairs, one of their players, Hyerin_ye, was made minister of the interior.
 
As the group operated within Pyongyang, they began asking for gold from several towns and government funding under the guise of expanding Pyongyang and establishing new towns for the government of Korea, leveraging the interior ministership to secretly fund the establishment of their own nation. After additional funding from the player CrownOfLech, the group separated and created North Korea, now DPRK, to the offense of many irl Koreans within the nation of Korea and in violation of the Raijin Treaty. Negotiations immediately followed, with Hyerin_ye trying to curb the situation and deny claims of scamming gold out of the Korean government, with talks eventually breaking down. War was officially declared on July 31st, with the North Koreans seeing the most casualties after fighting began, with minimal losses within Korea. 
 
'''<u>Gamelian War of Recognition (August 2026)</u>'''
On August 1st, 2026, a rogue faction of Japanese players, calling themselves the United States of Gamelia, that had been expelled from the Japanese nation settled a town in the region above Pyongyang after being rejected by the surrounding nations. Initially, Korea took a hands-off approach, but after continued aggression by the faction and their town being admitted into the DPRK, the President of Korea authorized the execution of hostile measures and the defense of territory between Chongju and Pyongsong. The Gamelians were severely underequipped and high in numbers, so after seeing immediately high casualties, were forced to take a defensive stance, one of them being the establishment of a town just north of Korean defensive positions in an attempt to claim-block Chongju and Pyongsong from expanding north, which later would be rescinded by moderators. Initial backing by the DPRK dwindled after attempts to defend the territory resulted in losses to Korean forces and the USG being forced to expand downwards around Pyongyang. On the 10th of August, the DPRK approached Korea and established a ceasefire, kicking and sanctioning the USG from their nation. With nowhere else to expand and no nation to back them, the USG began to relocate to Siberia along the Reka Uda.
