Nice was originally founded by CaptianCaliber in May of 2019 as "Toulon" due to its founding location where the city of Toulon was situated in real life and because of its initial impetus for construction- to help establish a formidable French naval base on the Mediterranean modeled after the real-life Toulon arsenal. At the time, Perpignan still stretched from southern Catalonia to the Lyon delta, and only one other French town existed along the Mediterranean coast (Monaco), so creating a strong town with a military presence was seen as an opportunity to create a powerful and strategically important town. The first two structures built were the Mayor's Apartment, a three-story yellow terracotta building with a sandstone foundation, and the Tour Royale (Royal Tower), a large circular sandstone fort. Two long breakwaters were made which extended far into the Mediterranean and created a tranquil harbor. Much care was taken to build the town, with detail and beauty being imperative for every new building. The streets were also made to conform to the hilly topography of the Mediterranean coast, creating interesting and unique roads. | Nice was originally founded by [[Barvaux|CaptianCaliber]] in May of 2019 as "Toulon" due to its founding location where the city of Toulon was situated in real life and because of its initial impetus for construction- to help establish a formidable French naval base on the Mediterranean modeled after the real-life Toulon arsenal.

After a while, CaptianCaliber became somewhat disenchanted with the name "Toulon". While the name respected the territorial space that the town occupied, he decided "Nice" was an overall cleaner name, and since Monaco occupied the area that the real Nice sat on, he would not ever be in fear of holding the name from someone else. So, on May 23rd, 2019, he made the decision to officially change the town's name to "Nice", although he would cheekily ask for his nations input after the change, which luckily turned out to be resounding support for the decision. | After a while, CaptianCaliber became somewhat disenchanted with the name "Toulon".

After another long stretch of spectacular building, many members of France began to take notice of Nice's unparalleled beauty. Many French citizens saw the entire town as a work of art worthy of the highest praise. A friend of CaptianCaliber and fellow renowned French architect explodingmelons was duly impressed by Caliber's progress in Nice, and agreed to help him fund the town in exchange for the rights to construct naval warships along Nice's harbor. With his patronage, Nice was able to grow and expand much faster. Sights such as the Town Hall, Tower of St. Francois, and the spectacular jewel in Nice's crown- the Cathedral Sainte-Reparate- were built, and when neighboring Monaco gained nationhood, even more exposure came to the town. | After another long stretch of spectacular building, many members of France began to take notice of Nice's unparalleled beauty.
