Nubia, otherwise known as the Third Nubian Empire, is often described as one of the most powerful and influential nations on EarthMC Terra Aurora. Its influence stretches everywhere around the world through its meganation, The Third Nubian Empire. However, Nubia's influence is most prominent in the regions of Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, Eastern Russia, Indochina, Indonesia, and Australia. This is because Nubia's dynamic range for towns has either in the recent past or currently extended to all of these areas, covering more than three continents and hundreds of regions and comprising of a peak total of 197 towns at once.

The founding of Nubia in December 2023 was the reincarnation of Nubia from Terra Nova; the key figures involved in the founding, Emperor Thee_Boss, gorkymoo1119, and ex-Emperor twomoo1119 both played a significant role in the First and Second Nubian Empires previously. Much of its early founding documents, including its constitution, was made with reference to the governmental system of the Second Nubian Empire. From December 2023 to March 2024, the nation remained focused primarily in Africa, achieving significant population growth and continued territorial growth to the south and east of Meroe, with its government defined during this period by a small active playerbase, whilst also seeing non-contiguous imperial growth with the addition of the Kongo. After a multitude of months, the Third Nubian Empire continued to grow, extending across Africa and the Middle East, slowly expanding its influence. It officially established itself as a growing power in Africa when it joined the Polar Republic and the capital of Meroe reached over one hundred residents.

The Third Nubian Empire is a constitutional monarchy, defined by democratic characteristics, including the election of five ministerial positions that form the Upper House, informally known as the Cabinet. The meganation is further subdivided into smaller provinces, with devolved responsibilites for regional and local governance. The Upper House is advised in their duty by the Imperial Assistant, a role which was redefined in December 2024. The role of Grand Bovine, an advisory position, is also held by those involved in the foundation of the Third Nubian Empire; Emperor Thee_Boss, gorkymoo1119 and twomoo1119. Nubia was previously a member of the Polar Republic from January to August 2024. Since Nubia has been created, the government structure has changed slightly multiple times throughout its history. Nations within the Third Nubian Empire can become provinces if their nation and or mega nation is significant enough to qualify for one. Provinces get increased political autonomy and receive the ability to place a representative in the Nubian government. A position for former leaders and high-ranking members of Nubia was created called "Qores", and the role of Grand Bovine was replaced. Qores effectively help the current emperor make decisions and or help run the nation in times of unavailability from the emperor or if the emperor feels he or she cannot handle the situation at hand.

Big Cow is the religious figure of Nubia and the Third Nubian Empire. Big Cow is a mystical being that is everything, everywhere, at any time. Big Cow is Always Watching, and continues to influence thousands across the EarthMC community. Even new players are influenced by Big Cow, whether it be ending up with Big Cow map art or buying 1G God Tools and 1G God Armor from the Nubian Tool and Armor shop which continues to be the cheapest and only major tool and armor shop on the server. Big Cow helps turn the tide of wars, conflicts, and misunderstandings in Nubia's favor. Big Cow is Always Watching-The Pasture Expands.

Flag

Visit main article: Flag of Nubia

The Nubian flag reused the flag that used from Nova counterpart, which is a vertical tricolor/tricolour. The most speculated symbolism of the flag is that the fly end of the flag is dyed brown to represent the people of the East African coast. The middle band is also dyed white as to represent the White Nile River which flows through the center of the nation. The black band represents the fertility of the Nile River and the land that sits by it. Another popular theory is that the Nubian flag represents the typical colors of a cow, black-white-brown, to support Big Cow. While this theory has mainly grown popular within Terra Aurora, many believe the reasonings can be traced back to the FNE and SNE, (First and Second Nubian Empire).

Third Nubian Empire (Mega nation)

The Third Nubian Empire consists of multiple nations throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Europe and Antarctica. At its peak, it reached 42 total nations inside of it at once and was spread from both sides of the EarthMC map. The Third Nubian Empire is mostly kept to Africa, Asia, and Australia to avoid instability and overreach. The policy is to keep most nations that join the Third Nubian Empire within close proximity or inside of Nubia's dynamic range. There have been plenty exceptions to this rule, which usually occur through provinces of the Third Nubian Empire creating their own mega nations and inviting international nations to it or rare exceptions where nations not from those areas join, usually due to close friendship, connection, or cooperation beforehand, examples being Aurora:Hawaii and Aurora:Arctic.

There are many major nations inside of the Third Nubian Empire, most of which have grown to such size throughout their membership, examples being the nation of Uzbekistan and Sulawesi. Both of which topping the resident charts and town charts during their peak, even out-populating Nubia for a couple days. Both of which have their own empires inside of the Third Nubian Empire which are named the First Sulawesian Empire and the Uzbekistan Federation. Both of these happen to be provinces. Like mentioned in the background section, provinces are inside of the Third Nubian Empire but are allowed more autonomy than regular nations. Provinces include: Bharat League of States, Union of Pacific States, the Uzbek Federation, The First Sulawesian Empire, Aurora:Egypt, and the Arctic Empire Two.

The Third Nubian Empire makes diplomacy on behalf of all nations, regardless of what province they are in or how much they are involved. When the Third Nubian Empire allies with a nation, all nations in the Third Nubian Empire are now allies with said nation. This was seen most prominently when the Third Nubian Empire joined the Entente against threats of war by the hostile nations of RSA and Pilbara (covered in the Conflicts section). Not every alliance has gone over perfectly, however most nations the Third Nubian Empire does diplomacy with are generally well liked among the nations inside of it.

There have been a lot of nations inside of the Third Nubian Empire, all of which have at some point been under the partial control of the emperor, whether it be Thee_Boss or MrPickle26. Every nation (almost) that has been inside the Third Nubian Empire goes as follows:

Africa: Nubia, Somalia, Congo, Kongo, Turkana, Zambezia, Belgium, DRC, Ghana, Xai Xai, Egypt, Gold Coast, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Orientale, Zaire, Burundi, Zanzibar, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Yemen, Fulo, Tanganyika, Aksum.

Asia: Caspian, Earth, Maratha, Laos, Bhutan, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Uzbekistan, Tannu Tuva, Central Russia, Naiman, Mongolia, India, Wu, Tian Shan, Xinjiang, Pakistan, Bactria, Bangladesh, Mauryan Empire, Sri_Lanka, Kashmir, Yavana, Gujarat, Hubba, Sulawesi, Manado, Siam, Suong, Borneo, Indochina, Indonesia, American Samoa, Cameroon, Mughal Empire, Aral Sea, KSA, Nicobar, Turkestan, Tajikistan, Papua, Tonga, Hagelian_Kuzbass, Khroma.

Europe: Umba, Greater Bulgaria, Suomi, Austria_Hungary.

North America: Rio Grande, Arctic, Arctic Ocean, South Canada, Niagara, Avannaata, Hawaii, Nunavet, Mt.Columbia, Bering Sea, USA.

Antarctica: Asuka.

Mega Nations First Sulawesian Empire, Uzbekistani Empire, Bharat League of States, United Pacific States, First Borneo Empire.

Nubia (Nation)

Early Thee_Boss Era (The Beginnings of the Nation): Nubia proper was founded by Thee_Boss on December 25th, 2023, two days after the capital, Meroe, was founded (December 23rd, 2023). The capital became the heart of early Nubia, quickly gaining many new residents that populated the nation. Most importantly, the two most influential people accompanying Thee_Boss, Gorkymoo1119 and You_Go_Slavia, joined the town and got to work laying the foundation for the empire. During the following month of January, the first Nubian government was appointed, and it concluded with only two positions being held, nachoman267 as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and gorkymoo1119 as the Minister of Internal Affairs. Quickly after on January 7th, the capital, Meroe, became the 20th largest city on EarthMC, and was marked a 'metropolis'. This marked a huge milestone for the young nation, as in the span of fifteen days, the capital had reached a status held by few EarthMC towns. A massive event happened inside of Nubia on January 13th, 2024: The day Nubia joined the Aurora:Polar Republic. The Polar Republic will be mentioned in the section named 'Alliances' below, however, the effects on early Nubia were almost immediate as it exposed Nubia to a world of new nations, connections, and allowed it to silently grow its influence on the server. During this time, Nubia had become an extremely prominent regional power in Africa and had decided to hold its first election on January 15th, 2024. The election included four major roles which would shape the Nubian government structure for the rest of Aurora. Finally, a dream that many mayors hold had finally been reached, and on January 20th, 2024, Meroe had reached one hundred residents becoming the sixth biggest town on the server. This achievement exploded the nation in popularity and activeness, along with a ceremony held on February 16th, 2024, that celebrated the nations 5-year anniversary from EarthMC Terra Nova. Nations and towns continued joining, and the nation hit two hundred residents in early April, marking the first time the nation reached a one hundred chunk nation bonus, and the last time as well, since little was it known then, but the nation would hold over two hundred residents until the reset of Terra Aurora in May of 2026.

Mid Thee_Boss Era (A time of Early Expansion and Nubian Supremacy): Shortly after reaching two hundred residents, the previous Emperor and founder of Nubia on Terra Nova, twomoo1119, returned to the nation after leading a nation in Canada. Nubia consistently topped charts for nations with the most residents online and with this continued to grow and thrive in Africa. This was most clearly seen when Nubia reached a total of one hundred towns in the nation during early May of 2024. Quickly after reaching one hundred, Nubia became the nation with the most towns at one hundred and fifteen, topping the previous nation with the most, Venice, by one. Around this time is when a new culture dawned upon Nubia. During Terra Nova, Nubia had been extremely oriented towards recruiting residents into massive cities, totaling hundred residents in several different towns. However, due to a new-ish feature, dynamic range, Nubia quickly took advantage of the potential that lied within it. Nubia began spreading out residents into different towns, making them mayors, and were using them in what has been effectively named 'Town Chaining'. In this, Nubia spread its towns all over Africa and southern Arabia and quickly spread its influence in a much greater area than its region. A byproduct of this being the large nation of Caspian joining the Third Nubian Empire, along with many other nations to follow, examples being Bangladesh, India, and Orissa. Abusing this new dynamic range, Nubia engaged in its first major town project, named 'Project India'. Described in greater detail below in the section named 'Nubian Town Projects', Project India was a huge success, contributing massively to Nubia's dominance in the Indian ocean region and establishing the nation as a force to be reckoned with. Arguably, the greatest event in Nubian history, across all iterations and empires occurred, when on July 11th, 2024, twomoo1119 and Thee_Boss announced the Nubian "Factory". The Factory, detailed more in the section below named 'Factory', greatly increased Nubia's impact on the EarthMC server as a whole, and still affects Nubia to this day. The Factory quickly became the shining light of Nubia and would come to help Nubia create an income through tool sales and helped incorporate members into Nubia by creating a culture surrounding the Factory as it commonly became a hangout spot for many people, and a place to earn gold while having fun with friends. Detailed greater in the section named 'Conflicts', Nubia denounced the nation of Israel for attacking its close ally of Egypt. Little was it known then, but this would officially start a long line of Nubian-Middle Eastern aggression that lasted until the very end of Aurora. A problem with Nubia's newfound expansion occurred when the nation of Zaire had a internal conflict with the nation of Tanzania, which both happened to be nations inside the Third Nubian Empire. Nubia made it clear from the start that it backed Tanzania completely, because of this, the nation of Zaire left the Third Nubian Empire, and officially declared war on Tanzania, and in turn, Nubia. While Tanzania did most of the fighting in this war, it did cause Nubia to think about the strength of its mega nation, and how it affected Nubia proper's safety and stability. In part because of this realization, and in part of a need for more expansion, Nubia appointed trusted former Nova, and then current Aurora government member, Alas, to create the Bharat League of States, with its main goal being to unify all of the Asian Third Nubian Empire nations. Not only was it successful in its goal of unifying these nations, but it also grew so large that nations started to join the Third Nubian Empire through the Bharat League of States, marking an era of unity among the Third Nubian Empire and in Nubia. This unity did not last for long however, during the creation of the Bharat League of States, a massive 'Chain Break' occurred in Nubia. A chain break is when the aforementioned 'town chains' break! When they break, all of the towns on that specific chain get kicked, and in this case, every town outside of a three thousand block range of Nubia was kicked. For most nations, this would have resulted in the destruction of the nation permanently, however, in Nubia's case, Thee_Boss, twomoo1119, and the new Minister of Municipal Development, MrPickle26 stepped up, and managed to re-connect every town kicked from the nation in a matter of weeks. Chains that had taken months to build were destroyed in a matter of seconds, but the perseverance of the nation's mayors, and the nation's government allowed every town to be reconnected in a speed never thought possible. Once again, stability was restored, and this chain break created a national loyalty to Nubia as it demonstrated the nations commitment to its mayor's safety.

Late Thee_Boss Era (A time of International Diplomacy and Expansion): With the collapse of Zaire imminent, Nubia turned its eyes to a growing threat in the region of Central Asia, named, well... Central Asia. In response to this growing threat, Nubia signed the Central Asian Security Alliance with Kazakhstan and the Soviet Union, both prominent nations in the area afraid of the growing threat as well. Described in greater detail under the section 'Conflicts', Nubia's war with Central Asia was fierce, however, even early on it became a net positive for the nation. Many new towns and nations became active inside of Nubia during the war, which allowed for greater influence worldwide, as well as the expansion of town chains across the world. Nubia, getting comfortable with its chains in India, and not fearing another chain break in the area, created a new daring endeavor: Project Indonesia. Inspired by the former Project India which brought important nations like Uzbekistan and large town groups like the Halwani cluster into Nubia, the new Project Indonesia aimed to do the same thing, but this time, in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. During this time, labeled in greater detail in the section named 'Nubian Town Projects', the current Minister of Municipal Development, MrPickle26, along with Thee_Boss, and twomoo1119 embarked on this project not expecting a large success. However, the project turned out to be a success just shy of Project India, adding nations like Sulawesi into the Third Nubian Empire, which would later become the biggest nation inside the Empire, rivaling Nubia in size at times. This project also brought Nubian influence on Australia which at the time was primarily run by two nations, one of which being Pilbara, and it so happened that the nation was led by KobiKraft, leader of the most popular rebel nations from Nova Nubia. The project interjected a sense of fear into the continent that would influence later foreign diplomacy between the two nations. Nubia reached its largest extent during this era, when Nubia proper had towns in northern Morrocco all the way to central Australia. This was never before seen in EarthMC history, and was thought to be borderline impossible, and while it was not impossible to do, it quickly proved difficult to manage, and the town chain for Project Indonesia only lasted a month when it broke, and was fixed, before quickly being broken again. The second break was not fixed, and Nubia never again had towns inside of Nubia proper on the Indonesian or Australian continents. Commonly considered a loss at the time is now considered a major win for Nubia, as it brought about an era of Nubian Indonesian dominance that would last until the end of Terra Aurora. On the African continent around this time, the two nations of Tanzania and Ethiopia merged to form Orientale. This was a major shift in Nubia's dominance on the African continent, as no nation before could come even close to rivaling them in size, the only ones being RSA who was quickly beaten. It was widely known among the Nubian government that Orientale was being heavily influenced by Crusader States, formerly Israel. Yes, the same Israel that Nubia had earlier denounced for fighting Egypt. A secret whisperer high up in the Orientale government fed extremely important information to the Nubian government through MrPickle26 that allowed there to be no surprise when Orientale did in fact declare independence. However, within the span of two weeks, and with virtually zero Nubian pressure, the nation of Orientale fell, in the process selling all of its major towns to Nubia. The only real major issue remaining was the conflict with Central Asia, which had still been going strong throughout all of this. The conflict had reached multiple peaks, and there were plenty of developments on the conflict daily. This conflict would not be solved during the remainder of Thee_Boss's time as Emperor. A slump in the emperor's activity had been noticed by the Nubian government, and many predictions were thrown forward by the then ministers on the future of the nation. None of the predictions came to fruition, however, they were correct in the unusual activity decrease of Thee_Boss, and on May 4th, 2025, MrPickle26 was crowned Emperor by Thee_Boss.

Early MrPickle26 Era (A time of Conflict and the Growth of the TNE): MrPickle26 had large shoes to fill, Thee_Boss had made a name for Nubia, and it was up to him to continue it. The timing of the emperor transfer was most unfortunate as the first twenty to thirty days of MrPickle's emperorship saw less assistance than expected from Thee_Boss who was taking a short break, and twomoo1119 who was on a long-term vacation in real life and had little time to discuss EarthMC. However, the first month of the new term did go relatively smoothly with the assistance that was provided, and the new era under MrPickle26 was shaping to be big. Nubia went through a massive transformation, whether for the better or worse is arguable, however, a lot of new nations joined the mega nation, most notably, Egypt and CAR, as well as Nubia gaining multiple new NAP's and alliances across the world fully cementing itself as the most powerful African nation, and one of the most influential on the server as a whole. The most important alliances to come out of this time were alliances with Xeta and Borneo. Seeing the leader switch as a time of weakness, the Crusader States, Central Asia (In clear violation of their ceasefire), and the RSA (In clear violation of their NAP and peace treaty from our first war), issued an ultimatum against Nubia demanding land and the withdrawal of Nubian towns and claims to multiple major hubs of Nubian activity, such as Egypt, South Africa, and India. Many on lookers were waiting for Nubia's response as this was a major deal among the world stage. All three nations, Crusader States, Central Asia and the RSA were all considered top fifteen nations, if not top ten by size and influence in their respective regions. MrPickle26, doubtful07, and twomoo1119 responded in typical Nubian fashion: The Ultimootum. Listed in more depth under the section 'Conflicts', the Ultimootum showed that the Nubian government did not care about these nations issuing this 'group effort to stop Nubian imperialism'. With that, the first official conflict under MrPickle26's rule started when in response to the Ultimootum, Central Asia and Crusader States both declared war upon The Third Nubian Empire.

Mid MrPickle26 Era (More Wars, More Expansion, More Influence): Other nations besides the three mentioned above noticed this potential weakness in Nubia and tried to exploit it. The most explicit example was the nation of Pilbara, who still was angry over previous Nubian expansion into Australia, and previous conflicts from Terra Nova. Nubia has a policy to protect Africa against colonization from different foreign nations and does not take kindly to actions like the ones taken by Pilbara. Pilbara continued to expand into Australia, sniping, buying, and convincing nations into their mega nation, and in response to this, Nubia, in agreement with an upper and lower house vote, decided to join 'The Entente'. The Entente was an alliance mainly consisting of Nubia, Australia, and Kazakhstan that was aimed towards curbing Pilbaran aggression and promoting the collaboration of multiple nations across the world. Shortly after joining the Entente, MrPickle26 and twomoo1119 engaged in peace negotiations with Pilbara, which were ultimately successful, at first. Pilbara broke the peace agreement only weeks later, and Nubia was quickly plunged into its second major conflict under MrPickle26. Around this time, RSA broke their peace agreement as well, sniping a town (against the peace agreement) north of the border (against the peace agreement), and refused to give it back (against the peace agreement). In one action, they broke the agreement three times. MrPickle26 gave the second in command of RSA, Groovylav, a chance to give back the town, and Groovylav did not. The town operation of OBEY was born, and it involved a mass town chaining project into Southern Africa in which multiple RSA towns joined Nubia, and many new towns were created. With that, Nubia had entered its third conflict under MrPickle26 and was now in four major conflicts at once. Besides war, Nubia went through a large cultural transformation; not only was it common for Nubia to town chain, but now Nubia started chaining with nations. Since MrPickle26 got emperor, over twenty new nations had joined the empire, which for context, he had only crowned emperor been months prior. The most important of these being the whole mega nation of the Arctic Empire, and new major additions in South-East Asia such as Borneo and Indonesia. Nubia became rather famous on the world stage during these days as we were balancing multiple major conflicts at once and commonly came up in debates and discussions about world EarthMC politics. Expectedly, the conflict with Central Asia came to an end as MrPickle26 and Thee_Boss were able to push them off the server indefinitely. A more in-depth end to the conflict is located in the section named 'Conflicts', however, the end of the conflict allowed Nubia, and MrPickle26 to turn their attention to the multitude of other threats that faced them, such as Pilbara, RSA, and The Crusader States. All three quickly united, with RSA joining the Pilbaran mega-nation, and Pilbara signing a mutual defense agreement with Crusader States. RSA faced disrepair, as MrPickle26, twomoo1119, doubtful07, and Thee_Boss were able to place hundreds of towns across the continent of Africa, effectively cutting off any chance of a retaliatory attack by RSA using town chains to go to Nubian heartlands. Towns switched in mass to Nubia, with many new mayors joining the nation, and in turn, demotivating the leaders of RSA, Vertualy and Groovylav to the point of quitting, where the nation was handed off to a Pilbaran plant, which ensured the nation would never rise to rival Nubia for African supremacy again, and not just African supremacy, but also any supremacy in the South African region as well. With RSA and Pilbara handled, MrPickle26 turned his full attention to the Pilbaran homeland, Australia. The Australian continent had remained untouched in these conflicts so far, as Nubia held no firm hold in the area that was capable of launching an attack, however, after talking with the Nubian nation of Sulawesi, Nubia was able to launch 'Project TUI', otherwise known as Nubia's first 'nuclear' attack on EarthMC. On July 28th, 2025, Nubia spent over ten thousand gold on creating multiple Sulawesian towns, that were each the max of one hundred and twelve chunks each, multiple high-profile Nubians like twomoo1119, Thee_Boss, doubtful07, and Alas all took part in creating their own Sulawesian towns on the Australian continent that scared the Pilbarans into a corner that they did not want to be in.

Alliances

Polar Republic:

Relation to the OFN: While Nubia never had any official conflict with the OFN itself, the OFN and Nubia did not usually get along. Mostly due to the relationship of Pilbara and Nubia. The OFN heavily backed Pilbara as it was one of their founding members, and Pilbara and Nubia had bitter feelings for each other over Terra Nova conflicts as well as the current Nubian domination over the nation of RSA. Around Project Indonesia, Nubia also applied for observer role in the OFN, however never committed to fully becoming an observer of the alliance.

The Entente: Nubia's first interaction with the Entente began around Project Indonesia. Nubia had reached out for observer membership in hopes of being able to expand in the Australian region without interference. Nubia never ended up joining during that time, however it remained in good terms with the alliance. Later however, Nubia felt 'pressured' from Pilbaran expansion into Africa to join the Entente. The Entente reached out to Nubia for membership, and it was commonly agreed in the government to be a good idea. Nubia joined and the Entente immediately became the largest alliance on the server due to Nubia's massive size across the globe. Nubia's tactic of joining the Entente to dissuade Pilbara from continuing further into Africa worked well, as along with Nubian threats, actions and diplomacy, Pilbara began to leave the African scene. The Entente continued to grow and remain a large and successful alliance in the Indian Ocean region, however, as ASEAN later gained popularity among the nations in the Entente, the alliance largely fell into inactivity.

Central Asian Security Pact: The Central Asian Security Pact was a pact signed by the Third Nubian Empire, Kazakhstan, and the Soviet Union early in the Central Asian conflict, in which the three nations agreed to counter acts of terrorism and aggressive behaviors from the quickly growing hostile power, Central Asia. While the Soviet Union would end up backing out of the pact months after signing, contributing little to the greater effort to contain the Central Asians; Kazakhstan and the Third Nubian Empire-most notably Uzbekistan, Nubia, Kashmir, Yavana, and Mongolia- would work together effectively to curb the threat of the Central Asians. This friendship from the pact would last up until Kazakhstan joined the Ecumene Pact-which served as an anti-Nubia pact with all of Nubia's enemies- and relations would slowly sour.

The Bharat League of States: The Bharat League of States (BLS) was an alliance spearheaded by Alas in India. The goal of the alliance was to strengthen Nubia's ties not only to the area, but the other TNE nations that inhabited the area to keep them positive about being inside of Nubia. The alliance's government was a council with multiple nations having two representatives inside. The alliance was used as the original host of negotiations with _N2O and Central Asia before it spiraled into a full conflict. The alliance largely succeeded in its goals in strengthening ties with Nubia's Indian nations and even got plenty of new members to join the TNE.

The Union of Pacific States: The Union of Pacific States (UPS) was an alliance largely dominated by already Nubian nations during its creation. Led by MrPickle26, the alliance largely held two goals: Stop Pilbaran expansion into Indonesia and north, and to get the nation of Borneo into the TNE. Borneo was the last remaining large nation in the Indochina and Indonesian region that had not joined Nubia or the Dutch. The alliance worked as intended and warded off Pilbaran expansion-while the threat of the TNE mostly handled that problem, the UPS helped as well- and it got Borneo into the TNE which was its ultimate aim.

ASEAN: ASEAN was originally an alliance excluding Nubia itself but had Nubian nations inside of it. This did not sit right with MrPickle26 and Twomoo1119, so the two demanded a council role in the alliance to monitor the activities. Nubia would never join as an official member, but had large influential say due to the alliance's makeup of multiple major Nubian nations like Borneo and Sulawesi. The alliance never did anything major in its short life in the end of Aurora; however, it would start Nubian problems and conflicts with Japan that were widely regarded as unnecessary by multiple members of the Nubian government.

Middle Eastern Pact: An alliance between Nubia, Persia, Assyria, and the Babylonian Empire. The alliance itself has not done much; however, it managed to coordinate a handful of minor town snipes off of 2.1notinPersia (Crusader_States).

Conflicts

Takeover of Chad (Early to Mid Thee_Boss Era):

First Conflict with RSA and Greece (Mid Thee_Boss Era): (this is skipping ahead, please add more pretext from the RSA stuff!!) Greece (then led by former-staff Gris) attempted to use RSA as a proxy nation to enforce its grievances with Nubia following the end of the Polar Republic. However, the vast majority of Greece and RSA's internal communications were intercepted by 8set's network, leading to Gris becoming increasingly paranoid before getting demoted and banned for Duping as a staff member due to a Nubian report ticket. With Greece out of the picture and no longer backing RSA financially, RSA became dormant for a while.

Important Foreign Relationships and Allies

Egypt: Egypt was one of Nubia's first allies on Aurora. Being so close together, they always respected each other's borders and grew together to become two of the most dominant powers in Africa. Egypt and Nubia remained so close that the two nations citizens often helped each other in projects. When the Crusader States started attacking Egypt, Nubia got involved and denounced the attack, reasoning that Egypt was an extremely good ally and they would not sit by and let a foreign Middle Eastern nation try to overrun them. Nubia and Egypt throughout Aurora worked together to counter Crusader attacks and plans multiple times and commonly assisted each other in aid. Egypt however started to go inactive as Aurora continued, and when reset was announced, they started to fall apart. Egypt merged into Nubia to avoid the overclaim of their major cities, and they remained in the TNE and Nubia proper until the end of Aurora. (Worth noting some Egyptian towns switched back to Egypt once overclaim was disabled, however, many remained in Nubia).

Madagascar: Madagascar, although being extremely isolated from mainstream politics, was a crucial part of Nubian African diplomacy. Madagascar was one of the only stable semi-active nations in Nubia's African influence; The others being RSA (enemy), Mali (non-talkative), Egypt (close ally), and Guinea (mostly inactive). Having Madagascar be close to Nubia remained a large goal for multiple Nubian governments. Nubian diplomacy towards Madagascar remained extremely friendly until a couple incidents of differing agreements over claims, as well as frustration in the Nubian government that Madagascar would not support us against a foreign invader in Africa. However, relations eventually repaired themselves, and the two remained extremely good allies, often considering one another as their closest friend on the server.

Greater Guinea: Greater Guinea was always a close ally of Nubia's, although they were not active outside of the Gold Coast region. Due to this inactivity outside of their region, Nubian-Guinean diplomacy remained very bare for a long time until Pilbara tried invading the continent. Guinea was one of the nation's brutally targeted against, and despite constant warnings, Pilbara refused to take any diplomatic action. Guinea, Nubia, and multiple other nations denounced Pilbara together against their invasion of Africa. Guinea being so committed to working with Nubia to quell the threat was admired by the Nubian government and citizens, which in turn helped relations stay extremely good and firm until the server reset.

Rocky Mountain Federation/ North Alaska: consider the USA/Israel dynamic IRL

Tang: Tang was Nubia's only firm Asian ally that was not in the TNE. Tang assisted in Nubian attacks on Central Asia, although they did not have great influence on the overall conflict. They did however secure a Nubian alliance with a long list of Chinese nations which propelled their friendship greatly. The two nations commonly worked together on threats, and whether Nubia or Tang were in a conflict, they were always eager to help each other. As put by the leader of Tang "I hope no one uses you as a blueprint to write pornographic novels. Almost all leaders in China have their own works". The quote highlights the uniquely friendly relationship even though on EMC they were separated by a large gap of land and cultural differences. Easily considered to be one of Nubia's top allies throughout Aurora.

Kazakhstan: Kazakhstan was always considered to be a large ally of Nubia. This was true especially during the Central Asia conflict where both sides worked extremely closely to counter the Central Asian threat in Operation Red Sunset, and the sniping/overclaiming of major Central Asian towns. The friendship was largely successful for both sides, and the two nations prospered when working together. After the Central Asian conflict, Kazakhstan fell into inactivity, when then they joined the Ecumene Pact. The Ecumene Pact largely acted as an anti-Nubia agreement, considering that destroying Nubia happened to be its only major goal. Relations soured almost immediately, and Nubia was extremely confused why their old ally would join a clear anti-Nubia pact. Kazakhstan gave little reason as to why; however, it is assumed it was due to boredom. Uzbekistan carried out minor attacks on Kazakhstan worsening relations even further. At the end of Aurora both nations seemed to be neutral to each other.

Arctic Empire Two: The AE2 was a close ally of Nubia's from the Polar Republic days. They had helped extremely with PVP in the Central Asian conflict and were often considered the 'pvpers' of Nubia. They did have honorary citizenship but were not officially in the TNE. Eventually however, they did fully join Nubia and remained a strong and loyal member until the end of Aurora. Nubia and AE2 worked together often to help each other with town issues, and enemying nations, the most common example being Central Asia and KN.

Nubian Culture

Cow Cup: The Cow Cup was a tournament with multiple football/soccer teams inside of Nubia. Arguably, the largest season of the Cow Cup was in February-March of 2026, although it was a rather major part of Nubian cultural affairs since its creation. The three most notable teams, Djibouti Booty Ticklers, Luena Lions, and Vroom Vroom were all teams inside of the Cow Cup team list. The league grew so big in fact that a lot of Kings League players-the major league of EarthMC football/soccer- would scout out new talent in the Cow Cup. The Luena Lions would eventually be elevated to a major league team in the Kings League. The Cow Cup league would also be used to train players to play in the EarthMC World Cup.

Nubian Championships:

Freedom Cup: The Freedom Cup is the same as the Cow Cup; however, it included other African nations, most notably RSA. The Freedom Cup was meant to loosen tensions with RSA while committing to peaceful relations. It did not entirely work in its goals, but it was commonly considered very fun to play.

DEA:

Nubian News: Nubian News was a channel used to announce new towns joining the nation and events happening around the TNE. The channel was wildly successful, allowing average Nubians to get insight into the actions of the government and MrPickle26 in town making, as well as connecting the multiple cultures in the different nations of the TNE. Nubian News also helped propel the DEA to be as large as it was. The channel also inspired multiple other nations to add their own news channels such as Oates Daily News.
