Chat records dating back to 2022 confirm that the initial concept for a Circassian nation in the EarthMC Minecraft server was discussed by players of Circassian origin. However, these early plans were never fully realized. For the most part, historical Circassian territories on the server were consistently occupied by random players with no connection to Circassia, a fact known to players who would go on to create the Circassian subnation years later.  Fragmented archive data from older server iterations confirms that a town named "Circassia" did briefly exist at one point. However, this early settlement played no significant geopolitical role, and its ultimate fate remains unrecorded.

In 2025, the concept of establishing a legitimate Circassian nation was revived, however at the time they considered the project practically impossible to execute, viewing it as a dream. Everything changed with the launch of the Terra Nostra 2026 iteration, as once the news broke that the map has been reset, the Circassians planned to join and build Circassia. The Circassians logged in at May 2026 and started working for the town of Circassia, which would later evolve into a massive sub-nation.

Following a discussion with other members of the Iberian nation, Circassia's leaders finalized their plans for the newly renamed town of Anapa's future. They decided completely destroy the existing, organically built village and rebuild it entirely from scratch as a planned, well-designed city. Citizens traveled to various cities all around the world, traversing manually or utilizing teleportation for extreme distances, such as visiting the Americas. They took notes and studied the layouts of these global cities, gathering inspiration for the future city.

To fund the planned city rebuild, Circassia established the Circassian Mining Corps and launched a massive underwater mining operation. By utilizing the Nether to travel immense distances, the miners accessed completely isolated, previously untouched caverns. Simultaneously, the town formed the Exploration Corps. This group embarked on long-distance expeditions to the extreme corners of the world and various exotic locations. Upon reaching these distant milestones, the Corps established a tradition of leaving signed markers to permanently document Circassia's presence across the globe.

To build the new planned city, the original village was leveled using TNT and fire. Salvaged materials were securely stored, and blueprints for the new city were finalized. Following the demolition, construction began on the city's first plots, which coincided with the arrival of Circassia's first new citizens.

Long-term infrastructure planning also began, including a grand metro line intended to connect Anapa-Circassia and Tuapse-Circassia to inland regions of the nation such as Poti, and extending further into the Crimean Peninsula. Production capacity was heavily expanded with the construction of dedicated sugarcane and leather megafarms. This output supplied a new network of Circassian-owned shops worldwide. Economic ties were established with the African town of Osogbo, where Circassia acquired property and opened a dedicated storefront.

Additionally, Circassian traders executed a highly profitable market manipulation during the server's "Moon Update". Traders bought massive quantities of nether stars the moment the update was announced and resold them during peak demand. The inventory sold out completely, yielding an immense profit and further securing Circassia's economic strength.

In a diplomatic triumph, Circassia formalized a friendship treaty with the Crimean Khanate, a sub-nation of Ukraine. The treaty was drafted after the Grand Prince of Circassia and the Khan of Crimea held a discussion. This treaty solidified their positive relationship and committed both entities to long-term peace and collaboration on common regional projects.

Meanwhile, military vigilance remained a high priority on the eastern borders. When a Georgian scout was discovered snooping around the Circassian towns of Terek and Khabez, defensive forces swiftly engaged and eliminated the trespasser, maintaining the security of the Kabardia expansion. Circassian forces demonstrated their naval and territorial superiority during an incident in the border forest west of Anapa, which divides Circassia from Ukraine. A rogue player was caught illegally deforesting the region and ignored all official attempts at communication. Circassian forces immediately engaged the trespasser. After a brief attempt to fight back, the rogue fled, initiating a massive chase into the Black Sea. Utilizing boats and tridents for rapid ocean transit, the Circassians hunted the trespasser down, ultimately winning the naval duel and exterminating the threat.

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 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.

To permanently quarantine the capital from the settlement of Suayp, construction began on a giant border wall. This colossal barrier was designed to eventually encircle the entirety of Anapa-Circassia. To project economic superiority, the wall was explicitly embedded with highly valuable gold and netherite blocks. Simultaneously, cultural development reached a new milestone. After acquiring massive quantities of necessary materials, construction officially began on a giant national mosque in Anapa. The grand structure was formally named the Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque, honoring the historical Circassian hero.

Underground, the highly anticipated grand metro project saw major progress. Extensive excavation efforts reached a depth of Y-level -40, and dedicated elevators were built to transport citizens down to the subterranean transit hub. After discussions with the leaders of Ukrainian and Turkish metro projects, as well as wih Iberian leadership, planning for the central station officially commenced. The metro system was designed to utilize advanced ice boat technology, guaranteeing ultra-fast travel.

The capital of Anapa experienced a massive population boom, securing more than ten new residents in a span of just two days. Territorial growth continued unabated as the expansion of Khabez was officially completed, marking a continuous streak of developmental victories. Furthermore, preliminary plans for the foundation of an entirely new town were set in motion. To support this growth, Circassia maintained a generous welfare policy, freely distributing building materials and diamonds to incoming players based on their chosen professions. While this policy was costly, leadership committed to it despite known exploitation risks. Individuals who exploited the system by immediately leaving for other towns after receiving free gear were swiftly outlawed. Beyond internal growth, Circassian forces actively engaged in hostilities with neighboring Georgian territories. Successful raids resulted in the deaths of Georgian players and yielded significant amounts of dropped loot and gold for the Circassian treasury.

The highly anticipated subterranean ice-boat metro proved to be a monumental engineering feat. To supply the necessary materials, the Circassian mining corps spent grueling hours in the earth's coldest regions harvesting raw ice. This was painstakingly compressed into blue ice, the fastest and most expensive ice variant available, to guarantee ultra-fast transit. The tunnel excavation was an incredibly daunting task. At one point, a mercenary was hired and promised handsome compensation to expedite the digging. However, the sheer scale of the project caused the worker to quit mid-job, refusing the gold payment entirely. Consequently, the massive excavation was completed 100% by Circassian citizens with minimal outside assistance.

The completed blue-ice line successfully connected Anapa to Crimea (Ukraine) and Turkey. This connection established one of the longest continuous metro lines on the server, a scale of single-line infrastructure virtually non-existent even in Iberia proper. Travel between Crimea and Circassia was reduced to mere minutes, bringing a heavy influx of Ukrainian tourists to Anapa to view cultural landmarks like the Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque. Simultaneously, a mysterious railway was discovered cutting through the Caucasus Mountains and ending abruptly. Recognizing a strategic opportunity, Circassian leadership opened negotiations with Soviet representatives to construct a transfer switch-station, aiming to seamlessly link the Circassian metro with the broader Soviet rail network.

The mayor of the seccionist town of Suayp (formerly Tuapse) found himself ruling in a single resident town. He resorted to vandalism, covering the Circassian flag and castle walls in dirt. Circassian leadership chose to ignore the vandalism, refusing to waste time and opting instead to focus on their ongoing infrastructural projects.

Fueled by massive gold reserves, Circassia entered a golden age of municipal development. The administration implemented a structured urban planning doctrine. To accommodate the massive influx of new residents, an official "interior architecture" team was established. Because many new players lacked building experience, resulting in unsightly initial structures, this specialized team was tasked with freely redesigning and upgrading civilian homes to match the city's refined aesthetic standards. To maintain urban density and efficiency, the city instituted a strict repossession policy: if a player abandoned the game or became permanently inactive, their property was seized and reallocated to active citizens.

Circassia's population boom was not accidental, but the result of a highly orchestrated and partially classified recruitment strategy. With a highly efficient onboarding method targeting first-time players, Circassia routinely secured up to five new residents a day, limited only by the recruiters' own time and commitment. Acknowledging that their leadership consisted of players with commitments such as jobs, college, and families, Circassia, rarely from time to time, also hired mercenaries from opposing timezones. Paid an honest, minimal wage, these recruiters actively sourced new citizens while the Circassian leadership was inactive. To protect its growing population and maintain economic integrity, Circassia established a dedicated Anti-Scam Department. Agents actively investigated server scams, confronting known scammers. Some scammers even attempted to bribe Circassian agents, offering them a cut of the profits to become their apprentices in the scam. The Anti-Scam Department rejected these offers on moral grounds.
