Britain | Britain had the strictest border enforcement policy in the world. If a town was not in Britain or a nation other then Britain existed on the British isles, Britain immediately declared war and started an invasion. This policy continued for most of its history, but has come into question with recent secession in Scotland and Ireland, which the government has not responded to with force. | ||

Britain became the first nation to establish a secure trans-atlantic ice transportation system after a player by the name of BorderPatrolAgent dug a tunnel from New York to Britain and connected it to the ice line. One of the greatest achievements ever on the server, the ice line has furthered relations between New York and Britain and can be used to easily transport villagers or other mobs across the Atlantic ocean. | Britain became the first nation to establish a secure trans-atlantic ice transportation system after a player by the name of BorderPatrolAgent dug a tunnel from New York to Britain and connected it to the ice line.

In its mainland claims, Britain included the Faroe islands which at the time had an Icelandic town on its northern part. Britain soon established its own town on the southern island, Torshavn. The presence of Torshavn angered Iceland and its ally Norway and a large scale battle soon ensued over the islands, although no side lost anything as keep inventory was enabled at the time. Nevertheless, the dispute and battle pitted both sides against each other for the upcoming weeks. | In its mainland claims, Britain included the Faroe islands which at the time had an Icelandic town on its northern part.

Once the situation with Norway was under control, Britain focused one again on continuing to grow its nation, this time its economy. Tesco was soon founded in London as the first store of its type on the server, making use of the new sign shop plugin. This saw a huge surge in Britain's popularity and economy which allowed for more British towns to grow at a rapid pace. | Once the situation with Norway was under control, Britain focused one again on continuing to grow its nation, this time its economy.

Britain would soon be interrupted by a significant number of new towns in Scotland from places such as Africa and Siberia. These towns lead by xSpifflesx and RuseOwl would seek to establish a Scottish nation, free from Britain. This would turn into a six month war between Britain and Scotland with thousands of gold being spent and the future of the British Isles at stake.

=== '''Claim Warfare | ==== '''Claim Warfare''' ==== | ||
With only very few major battles, the war soon turned into a war of claims between individual towns in Scotland and Britain. This saw Britain lose many of its claims to Scottish towns while Scotland would see entire towns fall into ruin, even losing their entire nation at one point. Many players would come and go with even RuseOwl leaving to Canada as the war continued and later on Shanka, the mayor of Glasgow would form his own nation [[United Kingdom]]. Nevertheless, both sides continued for a total of six months. | With only very few major battles, the war soon turned into a war of claims between individual towns in Scotland and Britain.

The new mayor of Sheffield, Warriorrr would begin a huge cleanup project of the town, calling on all players to destroy the old slums built by CallMeKingJames and replacing them with new roads and a fresh town hall.

Months after CallMeKingJames' England was dissolved, the old mayor of Sussex during the Noridic wars returned and established the town of Cornwall. By tricking the mayor of Plymouth he was able to gain a small 40 chunk foothold off the coast of Plymouth and after various name changes, he settled with England. | Months after CallMeKingJames' England was dissolved, the old mayor of Sussex during the Noridic wars returned and established the town of Cornwall.

While Britain's attention was focused on Scotland, the town of Cork soon rebelled from Britain and with help from Wabanaki, formed the nation of Ireland. Although Dublin remained the largest town on the island, Britain declared war on Ireland as it began to undermine the stability on the island. Ireland would go on to ally itself with Scotland and form the Celtic Union. | While Britain's attention was focused on Scotland, the town of Cork soon rebelled from Britain and with help from Wabanaki, formed the nation of Ireland.

Britain remained neutral as the Irish civil war ensued, however Ireland declared war on Britain as it believed Britain supported the rebellion. The leader of Ireland, Aerfort, held many of the Irish towns with alts. After they were banned or went inactive, these towns were taken over by Britain. Waterford later fell in March 2020, and was incorporated into Dublin. UghBraces and IAmGawain led another Irish rebellion which was unsuccessful and led to only the town of Ossory remaining as part of Ireland. | Britain remained neutral as the Irish civil war ensued, however Ireland declared war on Britain as it believed Britain supported the rebellion.

==== '''Early Secession''' ==== | |||
Problems with unruly regions didn't end with the Irish wars. In 2020, Inverness and Port Ness seceded from Britain, forming the nations of Highlands and Scotland, respectively. The British government didn't act on these aggressive actions. Stirling later joined the Highlands. | |||
==== '''Glasgow Secedes''' ==== | |||
In May of that year, Glasgow seceded from Britain and formed an independent state, removing one of the strongest towns in Britain. This has not resulted in an armed conflict, possibly due to the extreme nature of Britain's claims prohibiting warfare outside of a small region in Northern England. In this time, Inverness has gone inactive, and Port Ness has not grown, though Glasgow has annexed some of the northern islands of Britain. Norway remains under firm British control, and influence spread to Denmark around the same time. | |||
