===Major Expansions===
===Major Expansions===


Using the money acquired from the Moon update, Circassia expanded its territory with the founding of a third town, Abzakh-Circassia. The mayorship of this new settlement was granted to Lip. The sub-nation's expansion continued eastward into the historical Kabardia region, also known as Eastern Circassia, with the establishment of its fourth town, Khabez-Circassia. The eastward expansion of the sub-nation into the Kabardia region was driven by strategy: Georgia had begun aggressively acquiring territory near the Kabardia region. Their methods included founding new settlements, utilizing the controversial town-sniping tactic, and, in one notable instance, purchasing a town from an Iberian mayor who committed treason by selling the land to Georgian forces. During this phase of expansion, an official naming convention was implemented across the entire sub-nation. All settlements were restructured to place the local name before the sub-nation identifier, standardizing the territories as Anapa-Circassia, Tuapse-Circassia, Abzakh-Circassia, and Khabez-Circassia. Shortly after, a fifth town, Terek-Circassia, was founded further to the east by a rogue mayor without the Grand Prince's permission.

A successful recruitment drive brought a large influx of Circassian Minecraft players to the server. These new citizens quickly began claiming plots and constructing homes, bringing significant activity even before major infrastructure was completed. At this point Circassia started finalizing a standardized, high-quality road design that was to be implemented uniformly across all Circassian towns.

The towns of Tuapse and Terek enacted a surprise betrayal and seceded from Circassia. Despite Tuapse having been purchased directly with Circassian funds, both settlements completely severed ties with the sub-nation, although they had to remain under the overarching banner of the Iberian nation as they had no other choice. The traitorous mayors subsequently renamed the territories; Tuapse was renamed to "Suayp," while Terek was rebranded as "Kyzyl-Yurt."
The towns of Tuapse and Terek enacted a surprise betrayal and seceded from Circassia. Despite Tuapse having been purchased directly with Circassian funds, both settlements completely severed ties with the sub-nation, although they had to remain under the overarching banner of the Iberian nation: joining enemy Georgia was an impossibility, and diplomatic deals between Iberia and its other neighbors prevented each other from accepting towns in each other's territory. The traitorous mayors subsequently renamed the territories; Tuapse was renamed to the gibberish "Suayp", while Terek was rebranded as "Kyzyl-Yurt", despite being nowhere near real-life Kyzyl-Yurt, which is much further east.


Circassian leadership rejected this secession and officially refused to recognize the departure of the towns, formally designating both Suayp and Kyzyl-Yurt as illegally occupied territories. Despite the betrayal, Circassia's core power remained mostly unaffected. The backwater territory of Tuapse was never part of the original strategic expansion plan and possessed a shape poorly suited for development; it had only been acquired because an opportunistic purchase arose. Furthermore, Terek had initially been founded by a rogue mayor without any official authorization from Circassian leadership.
