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. | 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.

In 2024 and 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 large autonomous principality. | In 2024 and 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.

The residents of Iberia and Circassia had a friendly relationship at this point. Over time, the leaders of Circassia realized that the Soviet capital of Moscow was simply too far away, and too uninvolved in the region. The Soviet Union's slow but steady decline in power and population was another factor, as it meant a lower nationbonus. | The residents of Iberia and Circassia had a friendly relationship at this point. Over time, the leaders of Circassia realized that the Soviet capital of Moscow was simply too far away, and too uninvolved in the region. The Soviet Union's slow but steady decline in power and population was another factor, as it meant a lower nationbonus. On the 27th of July, the town left the Soviet Union on good terms and officially joined the Kingdom of Iberia, as was originally planned. Circassia had previously held the status of a Soviet Socialist Republic, making it an autonomous territory, this status became unclear when they left the Soviet Union to join Iberia. Circassia remained de facto autonomous although it no longer held the title of a republic - it was a town of Iberia. During this time, Iberia was at war with Georgia, thus putting the town of Circassia in war with Georgia as well. ''Some'' Georgian players attacked Circassia from time to time and even managed to kill a citizen. | ||
While collecting wood, a town member was ambushed by hostile players using invisibility potions and bows. Assuming the enemy to be Georgians, town mayor decided to mount a counter-offensive to take revenge and fight for their nation. Despite not being a good PVPer, he decided to try his luck and purchased some cheap combat gear and potions and started patrolling the Caucasus. Tracking a Georgian target in a Georgian outpost located in southern Azerbaijan, he launched an attack. The operation was a success; yielding three kills. | While collecting wood, a town member was ambushed by hostile players using invisibility potions and bows.

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. | 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.

To fund the planned city rebuild, Circassia established the Circassian Mining Corps and launched an 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 fund the planned city rebuild, Circassia established the Circassian Mining Corps and launched an underwater mining operation.

The capital of Anapa experienced a population boom, while territorial growth continued unabated as the expansion of Khabez was officially completed. Beyond internal growth, Circassian players sometimes engaged in hostilities with neighboring Georgian territories. Some raids resulted in significant amounts of dropped loot and gold for the Circassian treasury. | The capital of Anapa experienced a population boom, while territorial growth continued unabated as the expansion of Khabez was officially completed.

After discussions with the leaders of Ukrainian and Turkish metro projects, as well as with Iberian leadership, planning for the central station officially commenced. The metro system was designed to utilize ice boat technology, guaranteeing ultra-fast travel. To supply the necessary materials, the Circassian mining corps spent grueling hours in the earth's coldest regions harvesting raw ice. This was compressed into blue ice, the fastest and most expensive ice variant available. The tunnel excavation was an incredibly daunting task due to it being in deepslate level. At one point, a mercenary was hired and promised handsome compensation to help with the digging. However, the sheer scale of the project caused the worker to quit mid-job, refusing the gold payment entirely. Consequently, the excavation was completed 100% by Circassian citizens with minimal outside assistance. | ||
The completed blue-ice line successfully connected Anapa to Crimea and Turkey. This connection established 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 landmarks like the nearly finished Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque. Every Circassian city would eventually receive its own dedicated metro station, while a tunnel connecting Circassia to Poti was finalised. Simultaneously, a mysterious railway was discovered cutting through the Caucasus Mountains and ending abruptly. Investigation concluded that this was built by Soviet citizens. Negotiations to connect the two transit systems ultimately broke down when Soviet representatives started making demands regarding Iberian policy. | The completed blue-ice line successfully connected Anapa to Crimea and Turkey.

Despite operating under the banner of the Kingdom of Iberia, a nation widely recognized for its formidable PvP capabilities, Circassia maintains a distinct cultural identity. The principality is not PvP-focused, prioritizing development, roleplay, community building and economic growth instead. However, Circassia remains a loyal constituent of the crown, supporting the Iberian army and the broader national war effort. Internally, Circassia adopted a zero-tolerance policy regarding security and law enforcement. The government systematically outlawed all known scammers, criminals, toxic players, and major figures from enemy nations. Furthermore, Circassia universally honored the ban lists of the overarching Iberian nation and its fellow allied towns. The sheer volume of outlawed individuals grew so vast that it evolved into a meme, with citizens joking that Circassia was attempting to set the server's "outlaw world record." | Despite operating under the banner of the Kingdom of Iberia, a nation widely recognized for its formidable PvP capabilities, Circassia maintains a distinct cultural identity.
