'''Mersa''' | '''Mersa''' was a large town in the Ethiopia region of [[Nova:Nubia|Nubia]] that existed from December 2019 to December 2021. Founded by its [[Nova:Mayor of Mersa|first and only mayor]], [[gorkymoo1119]], on 12 December 2019, Mersa was notable for its large population, being one of the most populated towns on the server during its existence, as part of the Nubian mass recruitment policy. | ||
Shortly after establishment, Mersa joined the First Nubian Empire. In March 2020, following a dispute with the Nubian government over town funding, gorkymoo119 led a town referendum campaign that saw Mersa exit Nubia to join Yemen; this later resulted in the handover of Nubia to the Yemen Empire and the abdication of twomoo1119, at which point Mersa rejoined Nubia. Following disagreement by gorkymoo1119 and other Nubians with Yemeni rule, gorkymoo1119 established Ethiopia with Mersa as its capital in May 2020, before rejoining Nubia the same month, following reunification negotiations that reinstalled twomoo1119, and soon resulted in Nubian reindependence. It subsequently remained part of Nubia until gorkymoo1119's 42-daying on 4 December 2021; at which point, various successor towns were established. | |||
Throughout its existence, the town followed the Nubian mass recruitment policy established during the First Nubian Empire by twomoo1119, leading it to become one of the largest towns on the server until mid-2021. Due to the 100-resident cap at the time, Mersa saw the establishment of two proxy towns - West and South Mersa - that also followed its population policies. With such large, consistent recruitment efforts, the town has had a number of notable alumni, including 2 of the 3 Nubian prime ministers, multiple nation leaders and many mayors, as well as seeing other notable players join the town at various points. The town itself also had noted contributors beyond gorkymoo1119, including the mayors of its proxy towns (including 57billy, Nopnop100 and Erick2317) and councillors (including donthackkids, emi_wolf04, iamahamster and Thee_Boss). | |||

The crafting table is well known for still being in the original spot it was placed and has not been destroyed since, with a monument dedicated in its place. | ||

The second day is a major part of Mersa's history as it was when the town's first building, [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]]'s home, was created.

It was also the day that the chest and furnace at spawn were removed, however [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] decided to keep the crafting table to remind future residents of the town's beginnings and to look back on himself. | The second day is a major part of Mersa's history as it was when the town's first building, [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]]'s home, was created.

[[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] only wanted to invite people to the town after he had built the second house and claimed another plot. The second house (a modern white home) was put for sale for 6 gold and the other plot for free. SplatSQUID_68 only joined after wanting to see [[Queensland]]'s capital, [[Fuzecity]]. [[57gorky|Gorkymoo1119]] introduced them and told them how to get there. | ||

The population kept at around 3 people throughout this period. This demotivated [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] as he wanted the town to expand and be active however everyone who joined would often leave the same or next day. [[57gorky|Gorkymoo1119]] was the only active player in their town at the time. | ||

At the time, he was the 4th addition to the town. [[57gorky|Gorkymoo1119]] though that he may be like SplatSQUID_68, who has not been active since being invited or like 3 other residents beforehand who stayed in the town for under a day. However, unforeseen to [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]], PoLWerin was active the next day when [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] was online, and too the next. At this point, PoLWerin had claimed a free plot to build on (not the first one to do so, however was the first to stay in the town afterwards). He made a classic styled house, part of the district of Idilenya, making it the second completed house there. This sparked new hope in [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] as he didn't expect to stop the standstill in their population growth. | ||

The town was revamped over a period of 3 days, from the 27th to the 30th of January 2020. Within that period, a town hall was added, roads were created and paths leading to useful places nearby.

Soon after this, a citizen named [[Erick2317]] was ranked builder in the town and make a cacti farm and their own house. He helped to connect an ice road between Mersa and the Adal Sultanate's capital, Eden. He is a supplier to the Mersan store 'Mersa Mines' of cacti, splitting any profits made half and half between them. | ||

After Mersa was promised further funding by the Yemeni government, [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] held a referendum amongst the Mersan population to see if the Mersans wished to stay part of [[Nubia]]. 100% of those who answered responded with yes, and was finalised on the 5th of March. Around 3 days later, [[Twomoo1119]] abdicated and gave the throne to [[Raining_Oranges]], who then passed it onto VladimirVI and put it under the [[Yemen|Yemen Empire]]. Seeing this happen, [[Raining_Oranges]] asked [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] to join [[Nubia]] once more as it was now under the [[Yemen|Yemen Empire]]. [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] had a poll done to decide if he should; the majority voted yes. Later that day, Mersa rejoined [[Nubia]], with the promise that prior conditions regarding joining [[Yemen]] would be kept. | After Mersa was promised further funding by the Yemeni government, [[57gorky|gorkymoo1119]] held a referendum amongst the Mersan population to see if the Mersans wished to stay part of [[Nubia]]. 100% of those who answered responded with yes, and was finalised on the 5th of March.

On October 21, 2021 Gorky would log off for the last time and the inactivity counter would begin counting down. Finally, on December 4, 2021 at around 6 AM EST Mersa collapsed. Immediately following this, CheatoClause was able to claim nearly all of the former city now named New Mersa. The only original part of Mersa that wasnt claimed by Cheato was claimed by JackJackson as part of Ethiopia, named the original name of the city. Thee_Boss would later take control of Mersa, to become the mayor of Mersa for as long as Nova remains active. <br /> | |||
