BetaPlain began voting every day until 13 June 2022 when [[BetaPlain]] was gifted 48 gold, 20 diamonds, and an ender chest by then leader of California [[Cubs_]]. [[PesosInhaler|LawOfRence]] also came to join the celebrations. | ||
After receiving the gold donation, [[BetaPlain]] founded the town at approximately 04:52 UTC. The town's location was chosen because greater emphasis was placed on claiming Tijuana's planned territory on the North coast of the [[Gulf of California]]. One minute after founding the town, [[BetaPlain]] accepted an invite from [[Cubs_]] to join the [[California (Aurora)|Californian Republic]]. | |||

Another reason the mine was canceled was the removal of bedrock at Y=0, and the fact that the best spots to find ores was moved lower.

After the town of Mexicali formed the nation of Baja, the unofficial race to form the nation of Baja ended. With the nation of Baja created by a different town, the motivation to keep the town running had disappeared. On top of this, many towns close to Tijuana had been founded which would block Tijuana's ambitions to claim Northern Baja California. | After the town of Mexicali formed the nation of Baja, the unofficial race to form the nation of Baja ended.

Considerations were made for the other players on the server who may have wanted to create the town of Tijuana themselves, and BetaPlain found a new location to found a town on the coast of the [[Hudson Bay (Body of Water)|Hudson Bay]].

The Main building was created early in the town's existence. The Main Building is where BetaPlain logged in almost every day to vote, and it contained a bed, a crafting table, some chests, 3 furnaces, and an ender chest. The sign above the door jokingly reads, "Tijuana Oblast," in reference to the [[wikipedia:Oblasts_of_Russia|Oblast system]] present in Russia and the Soviet Union in real life, among other Eastern European nations. | |||
