Succeeding [[Terra Nova]], [[Terra Aurora]] was the EarthMC map that lasted from May 2022 to April 2026. [[Terra Nostra]] is the newest and current EarthMC map which started on April 17 2026. This section will summarize the past of the involved Terra Nostra nations as much of their history impacted their current day decisions. | |||
=== | ==== Terra Aurora Vermont ==== | ||
[[Vermont|Aurora Vermont]] was a small democracy on Terra Aurora that emerged in 2024. Much of the Acadian community originated from Aurora Vermont including locally notable players like Farosh_, Xeocas, KellyIsANiceLady, Princeling7, and other players from Nostra Montreal. Vermont's history was full of turbulence and drama especially in 2024 when they were criticized for being too submissive to [[Texas]] in the [[Great American War|Great North American War]], and failed to follow agreements made with the [[Organization of Free Nations]] of which they were a primary member of. Later in 2024 a minority of Vermonters left to Cascadia after being stressed and tired over Princeling7 consolidating power and refusing to reform the nation. In early 2025, [[House of Wintour|the Wintours]], who later founded [[Nostra:New York (Nation)|Nostra New York]], joined Vermont in an effort to reform it into a stable and successful nation. In February 2025 unbeknownst to the rest of Vermont, Princeling7 surrendered in their war against [[Illinois]] which was intensely controversial and even caused many original Vermonters to resign out of rage or shame. The power dynamic quickly shifted and put the Wintours in control of Vermont. Later after a referendum in both nations, Vermont merged into Cascadia in the later half of 2025 which included both original Vermonters and the Wintours. | |||

Much of the Acadian, American, and New York community, as well as a small minority of Californians, later came from [[Cascadia|Aurora Cascadia]] between 2024-2025 and 2022-2023 for some Americans. This time in Aurora Cascadia is crucial to the events in the North American Arab Spring as it exposed these communities first hand to the benefits and negatives of a faithful large-scale democracy. The benefits were higher activity, longevity, and a large community, Cascadia consistently was the most active nation for years with an average 30 people online a day. But there were also many negatives such as bureaucracy, intense arguments and rifts caused by politics, complaints about slow reactions to national issues, constant confusion with the government system from new players, and notably the lack of a competitive nation shop during all four years of Terra Aurora. These negatives, along with other drama, divided the Cascadian community towards the end of Terra Aurora between primarily two main groups. One group was associated with inactivity and being content with the status-quo or more intense bureaucracy, and the other group was associated with activity, community building, and reforms. This division caused the Cascadian community to separate into multiple planned nations for Terra Nostra which at first included Cariboo, Acadia, and New York as the largest nations, and for the most part most of the reform group filtered into Cariboo and New York while most of the status-quo group filtered into Acadia. Due to the proximity of the reset, in 2026 most in-game drama was swept under the rug and previously conflicting communities had an easier time mixing together. But when Mjap888, planned nation holder of Cariboo, consolidated power and introduced bureaucracy into the planned Cariboo nation and then later rage quit when confronted about it, most of Cariboo left to join the Acadia plans which included a lot of the reform community, recreating the same conflict as in Cascadia with the same two large groups. | |||
Official plans for Chicago, and a consequential Chicagoland or Illinois nation, were conceived as early as February 2026 by [[Setrus]]. The plans were meant to be moderately critical of Cascadia, advertising a radically less bureaucratic nation with community building and activity at the forefront. In March these plans were later merged into the plans for America (then Midwest) when [[sayerleft]] discussed the idea with Setrus, who accepted on the basis of having access to a larger group of founders with a higher likelihood of creating Chicago. In the infancy of America's planning, Chicago was floated around as the top choice for the nation's capital due to its notability and central location within the United States. However when sayerleft, the longtime nation holder for Aurora Cascadia, floated the idea of being nation leader for America, Milwaukee became the capital instead after Setrus refused giving up Chicago to sayerleft. | |||
=== Timeline of events leading up to and following the North American Arab Spring === | |||
==== April 2026 ==== | |||
America was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 2:10 PM EST. | |||
California was founded on April 19th, 2026 at 11:13 PM EST. | |||
Acadia was founded on April 21, 2026 at 8:33 PM EST. | |||
==== May 2026 ==== | |||
==== June 2026 ==== | |||
June 24: In America, the founders behind Memphis which included Knowlton, Kayleemar, and friends left after feeling trapped and powerless due to the ironically named [[Memphis Accords]] as well as contempt towards the general incompetence and bureaucracy brewing in the nation. They created Kaktovik and later gained ownership of the Alaska nation. | |||
==== July 2026 ==== | |||
July 3: In Chicago, plans for a Chicagoland nation were revived in response to the growing pressure between the status-quo and the reform sides of the nation. These plans were temporarily placed on hold in favor of attempting to reform America. | |||
==== August 2026 ==== | |||
Early August: In Chicago, as a last ditch effort to reform the nation plans to draft a national referendum to change the capital of America to Chicago were solidified. If it failed, Chicago planned to peacefully secede. Construction of a mega shop also started in Chicago in preparation for becoming a nation capital. | |||
August 15: In Acadia, the Micoua community and others secede to New York. | |||
In America, due to unrelated circumstances sayerleft decided to quit EarthMC and consequently stepped down as being nation holder of America. After hearing about Chicago's plans for a national referendum on a capital change, sayerleft personally supported the idea and drafted a resolution to Congress which would ceremonially confirm the move. The resolution ended up barely failing with 6 no votes, 5 yes votes, and 2 abstentions due to unsubstantiated concerns around America becoming a Chicago-ran city state. As a compromise to prevent America from becoming divided, Bachinuni was chosen by sayerleft to become nation holder and mayor of Milwaukee. | |||
August 16: In America, Chicago follows through with their plan secede but temporarily joins New York. In response, the entirety of New Jersey secedes to New York. | |||
August 17: In Chicago, the nation of Heartlands is created (later renamed to Chicagoland). In the following days the American towns Cleveland, Dollywood, and Normalsville would end up joining. | |||
August 29: In California, the nation is nuked and robbed by shadowcipher and other chancellors. Soon after they create the nation of Pacific and announce their coup. | |||
August 31: Pacific announces that their coup was successful and that they will retain all diplomatic relations and borders from California. They recognize the rump state of California/San Francisco as a Pacific city-state dependency governed by Pacific. | |||
'''September 2026''' | |||
September 1: New York and Chicagoland unite the New York, Micoua, and Chicagoland communities under the Civic Commonwealth. | |||
