Aurora:Jugra

TaitonminMax founded the Hamlet of Ratzakah on the hilly banks of the Ob river on the 10th of January 2025. RanWorksJK and CaptainEmerald10 quickly joined, and together the group recruited many others, and constructed a great city - what would become the capital of an independent nation of Jugra. Beginning with a meager cobblestone hut, Ratzakah became a thriving town with 18 Members. Initially joining the nation of Ob, a thriving trade hub, Ratzakah later became independent, as the nation of Jugra (on the 8th of May, 2025).

Great structures were built, beginning with the town hall, made from spruce wood and stone brick. Its humble walls held many creative and opposing minds. Today, it still remains the beating heart of Ratzakah and the Nation of Jugra. New players are always welcomed into the town hall and given free equipment, whenever someone is home. The town hall has 3 floors, and several negative (sub)levels, most of which hold both automated and manual farms, storage, the facility, and crafting areas. The 3rd floor holds the rooms of TaitonminMax (the Mayor -later- Supreme Leader), and RanWorksJK (councilor).

The four statues in front of the town hall represent the fallen warriors on the attack commited by the terrorizer diffex_, who repeatedly massacred players around the world, chiefly on the 25th of January 2025, when four soldiers of Ratzakah fell in battle protecting the city in the edge of the Market, a dimly lit underground area that was still under construction at the time. At this point, Ratzakah was still a member of Ob.

The train station is a later construction, but its quartz construction was a shift in the design of Jugran architecture representing the newfound wealth of Ratzakah, allowing largescale projects in quartz to be possible.

The Kadoorie Synagogue that sits atop the Maccabean hill in Ratzakah is a replica of a real-world building in Porto, Portugal. Its massive scale and enormous use of quartz led to its abandonment. Now with the revitalization of Ratzakah in November of 2025, the monument's completion may be within reach.

The Moroccan Riyad was built upon a messy industrial zone, that consisted of a set of exposed farms, which severely impacted the aesthetic of the city. Most of them were dismantled, and some were shifted underground, allowing a large Moroccan Riyad to be built in its place. It does not attempt to copy any particular building, but it attempts to replicate the style of Riyads and the Mellah in the city of Fez, Morocco.

The Bank was constructed on contested land. Initially a Norse-inspired structure was built from Birch and Spruce on the plot, which became abandoned due to the owner's inactivity. Later, it was demolished, and the plot was provided to another player, madfartman, who began to build an apartment complex, which was deemed to not suit the aesthetic of the city by the Mayor and Council. Councilor RanWorksJK then built and completed a modern apartment complex in its place, which was also deemed to be unsuitable by the Mayor, leading to its demolition, and the subsequent nationalization of the plot, and construction of the Bank of Ratzkah, and now National Bank of Jugra, in its place. The building embodies the style of apartment complexes in Saint Petersburg, yet with a sandstone and mudbrick flair reminiscent of Jerusalem.

The Market was a massive undertaking that required the time and effort of a lot of players with maxed out pickaxes. Unfortunately, due to its ambitious scale, it was never truly completed. A second, and potentially third layer of arches was planned, along with a massive dome. Despite the unrealized ambitions, the structure is rather remarkable in scale. Despite all this, it contains but a single store, that appears inactive.

The Villager Center (next to the bank) was built by gichur, a talented builder, Redstone engineer, and Ratzakan patriot who fought in defense of Ratzakah on the 25th of January. The center was never used, as only one villager was ever obtained, one specialized in producing Mending books.

The Tishrin Dam is the furthest point on the city map, and it was constructed in order to repair the river that was damaged by the massive large-scale leveling that took place in order to make Ratzakah possible. The Ob river was completely drained and the terrain around it terraformed, with the area around the river being completely excavated and laid bare. For a long time, there was an enormous dry gap in the river where the city was, as the entire area was lowered by 6 or 7 blocks, and completely flattened, it allowed the river to be artificially reconstructed and reconnected with the areas outside of the city bounds. This process was later repeated in the area above the main city (where the Moroccan Riyad, Farms, and Tishrin Dam reservoir are located), including in areas outside of Ratzakah, which were completely terraformed to make way for future growth, which never occured.
