Nation Background
Wollaston is a nation located in northern & central Canada. The nation is named after Lake Wollaston, which in turn was named after George Hyde Wollaston, a leader of the Hudsons Bay Company, and originally derives from the word for "farmstead". The nation's capital is the city of Wollaston, currently run by Emperor Aalovelyworld who assumed power after the stepping down of Emperor jtooch_, former leader of the nation of the Canadian Rockies on EarthMC's Terranova.
History
Founding of the City
The city of Wollaston was founded by jtooch13, formerly known as xK1_, on January 13, 2024. An affiliate of jtooch convinced him to join the nation of Ruperts Land, which at the time was owned by kountr. The town would quickly grow to over 40 chunks after jtooch's efforts selling mystery crates, leaving him with nearly 3000 gold. However, his inactivity during the months of March and April led to the city of Wollaston being handed to another resident for nearly 2 months.
The Nation's Establishment
jtooch13 returned to the server in early June 2024, hoping to regain his town and form a nation for himself. The new mayor holding the town had also been inactive, and so jtooch joined Wollaston once more, waiting for his recrowning. However, a server shutdown and multi-day software revamp, leading to a pause in player status, caused the creation of the nation to be delayed even further. Finally, on June 27th, 2024, player status was unpaused, the citizen holding the town was removed from power, and jtooch13 became mayor once again. Immediately that day he founded the nation of Wollaston. A day after the nation's establishment, the nation saw immediate growth. A number of citizens were recruited into homes in the capital city, while a couple others were able to make a town with the remaining national funds.
The July Boom
The first week of July spelt great success for the northern nation. The capital's population jumped from a mere 4 people to 16 in a day. Among these new residents were PopulistStraw, a founding father of the Canadian Rockies, and Aalovelyworld who had been a member of the Canadian Rockies for roughly a year, and a Co-Mayor to the town of Mount Jasper. Along with the Emperor, Straw and Aalovely would be considered the first members of the Council of Wollaston. Wollaston gained over 30 new recruits, which also led to the founding of its third town, Hillsborough, led by xed333. In the next few days, two more old Terranova players were added to the nation's Council, BigBroPro0425 and PesosInhaler, formerly known as LawofRence. By July 10th, the nation was sitting comfortably at dominion status, flying through the lowest levels in only 5 days and continuing to grow well into August.
The Potato Capital
With the population shooting through the roof, Wollaston was in need of an economic foundation and layout. Selling mystery crates gave the nation a heavy amount of abrupt income but was not a viable long term solution for funding the nation. The idea of a shopping district quickly aroused support and an effort was made in downtown Wollaston to convert buildings to shops, parks, info centers, and a church dedicated to the nation's religion of Capybara. In just a few days over 15 chunks of farmland was constructed, most of which lay underground in order to protect Wollaston's food supply. With the speed and reliability of these crops, Wollaston became known as the "Potato Capital of the World" by many across the world. This potato economy provided funding not only for the nation's new shopping district, but for many projects and programs throughout the empire. Dubs of potatoes were sold for 35-37g depending on whether they were raw or cooked. Prices were also calculated for single chest purchases, as well as prices to be purchased in rows. With the layout of the potato shop complete, the company of Wollaston Farms was introduced, led by the council and farmers of the nation. Wollaston was now the world's fastest and cheapest potato producer.
