It is the oldest district in the town, and is where the town spawn building - the Third Endeavour - is located. In the north of this district is Aquille Reserve, a naturalistic park home to various memorabilia from throughout the town's history, plus town embassies. The Purest Pines CityPlace - a large, cuboidal building containing prebuilt apartments for residents and the Primary Storage Unit - is located in this district as well. | ||

It was first built up in late 2023, from the James Bay to the Cree Era, but InternetCurtains demolished most of the buildings in 2024 so that it could be rebuilt later. InternetCurtains retained several buildings, however, such as the Disco Tower, a skyscraper built by former resident DiscoEwe4410090, whose apartments housed the first residents in the town; Bingy Estate, a large mansion built by InternetCurtains for comayor Bingy726; and the USSNA Perm Base, a military base deemed widely to be unsightly, built by banned player USFriskI. | ||
Reconstruction of Chauser started in December 2024 during the Second Vermont Era at the height of Purest Pines, led by InternetCurtains and Bingy726 and built with help from BuilderBoy59, Amartine60, Jazbbwtyl, Platinum201547 and Aqualicorn, all of whom were residents of the town at the time. Progress was quick, and before long, an assortment of new buildings were completed, including InternetCurtains Estate, 'The Dives', a refurbished ice rail station, headquarters for the short-lived newspaper 'Purest Papers', and more. These buildings can be found in Chauser today. | Reconstruction of Chauser started in December 2024 during the Second Vermont Era at the height of Purest Pines, led by InternetCurtains and Bingy726 and built with help from BuilderBoy59, Amartine60, Jazbbwtyl, Platinum201547 and Aqualicorn, all of whom were residents of the town at the time.

Mercer was the second residential district to be built, found just to the east of Aquille. Its plots contain borders made of flowering azalea leaves with smooth quartz slabs on top of them. The roads are built out of stripped dark oak wood. | Mercer was the second residential district to be built, found just to the east of Aquille.

The first three rows of the Mercer District (including the short, two-plot wide one closest to Aquille) were built first, with an extra row and outwards extensions to all rows emerging during November 2024. Overall, the Mercer District has over 50 plots, meaning that out of the three residential districts, it's able to house the most residents theoretically. However, the outer two rows have been deemed abandoned officially due to the difficulty in demolishing the voluminous plots in them and their distance from the town spawn and are upkept no longer, although Kevin484848 built an unfinished shopping centre at the edge of this | The first three rows of the Mercer District (including the short, two-plot wide one closest to Aquille) were built first, with an extra row and outwards extensions to all rows emerging during November 2024.

The 'Mercer Minipark' is located at the southern edge of the central rows, acting as a district centre similar to the Cordan Plaza and the Purest Pines CityPlace. It consists of two towers surrounded by a small park built originally by a resident called FlakeyYT. | The 'Mercer Minipark' is located at the southern edge of the central rows, acting as a district centre similar to the Cordan Plaza and the Purest Pines CityPlace.

To the south, the Cherry District acts as a residential area, with cherry-tree-themed plot borders and roads. The easternmost road in the district was turned into an arcade by former resident Gheddochris. Three small, near-identical structures at the wilderness end of the three roads in the district commemorate the first three nations that Purest Pines joined: Canada, James Bay, and Laurentia. | To the south, the Cherry District acts as a residential area, with cherry-tree-themed plot borders and roads.

''InternetCurtains’ first months on EarthMC were spent largely in an inactive town called Maluku, part of the Aru Islands nation – situated around eastern Indonesia (not too far away to the west was the town of Albany, which at the time was massive and extremely populous). The town occupied a duo of small islands along with the nation capital, Iambetter. InternetCurtains logged on every single day, unlike every other person in the entire nation. Despite this, InternetCurtains stayed in Maluku for a good month or two, slowly but surely growing his wealth, knowledge of EarthMC and hoarding of items in a storage room. This was done with only two plots available to him (one which was used specifically for a farm), and the chance to make the occasional trip to Australia – a wasteland of ruined towns at this point – via a short boat ride south. | ''InternetCurtains’ first months on EarthMC were spent largely in an inactive town called Maluku, part of the Aru Islands nation – situated around eastern Indonesia (not too far away to the west was the town of Albany, which at the time was massive and extremely populous).
