'''Baidoa''' was an ethiopian town, led by '''DOBPlayzThis''', however this town was very near the Somalian Capital, '''Kismayo''', which caused '''77Dervish'''(the leader of Somalia) to get irritated at the sight of a town in his claims, who later on went to complain in the Ethiopia Discord. Several other towns were planted in the Somalian Claims, though these claims were preposterously larger than any land area controlled by Dervish, Dervish threatened several mayors in his 'claims' with saying that Ethiopia was 'Filthy' and that Somalia and Nubia were better nations. Salmon started warning the mayors about Dervish's plans, which weren't in Somalian interest.

During the timespan in which the main Ethiopian towns joined Nubia, Addis Ababa was sold to '''MrX_1208''', who renamed the town to 'Orthinia Eschate'. With this, the entirety of old Addis Ababa was changed drastically for the worse under his mayorship. Salmon spent a brief span of time owning the Emirates nation, as well as Tahoe, a cascadian town, before leaving EMC to join a different towny server. Not many events occured during this era, but it was a dark age.

=== '''Copper 9''' ===
=== '''Copper 9''' ===
The Autonomous Dominion of Copper 9, or just 'Copper 9' is the only autonomous district of Ethiopia, it is owned by DizzyLP1, with 146 chunks it is the only major landlocked town. With only 9 residents, it's population density is incredibly low. The architecture is majorly based around Brutalist architecture of real-life east Europe, there is no soil, and most of the ground is pure stone. Copper 9 was founded in August 13, 2025. Although, this is for the 'New Copper 9', as it used to exist in Old Ethiopia as 'Copper 9', and in Nubia as 'Elindil', led by an unknown user. Copper 9 is an Autonomous district, due to the fact that DizzyLP1 and RedDino had a major conflict, leading Dizzy to wish to associate less with the Ethiopian Community, today this label is only symbolic and does not retain much value as it's government is still just like all of the other towns.
