Terra Mariana is a nation located at the Baltic sea shore, spanning from the Baltic sea to the gulf of Finland and Sweden to the north and west respectively, as well as in parts of Poland, Russia and White Russia.

History

Early days

The nation has been founded by TommyJ2 on January 27, 2019, by leaving the nation of Minskan Rus, with the help of some other citizens (among which the future king Egga_). Only 6 days later, on February 2, the Treaty of Arensburg has been created, which stated Terra Mariana as a protectorate of Minskan Rus.

The growth and the independence

As Minskan Rus collapsed, in the first days of April 2019, Terra Mariana claimed complete independence, closing the Treaty of Arensburg, making the nation completely free.

At half of April, the nation brought in several people, thanks to the general growth of the server. Many new towns has been created, which brought in new citizens as well.

KARL465 in Terra Mariana

KARL465 (alias "K_arl", "32Karl", "Captai_n" and " Ka9l") was arleady present on the Terra Mariana territory, with his town. This town eventually was disbanded. Then KARL465 created a new town called Hiiumaa, on April 1, part of Terra Mariana. Initially the situation was calm, but then, he was brought in many National Court cases. The most important one started on April 24, 2019, between him and mishprsu, mayor of BlackFall, a town on south of Hiiumaa, with accusations of violation of the constitution, electoral fraud, betrayal to the nation, and more. The case ended up giving reason to mishprsu, creating big tensions between Hiiumaa and Terra Mariana.

The Estonian - Latvian War

KARL465, suddenly left Terra Mariana, as a result of a poll made on the Hiiumaa Discord, joining Latvia, not long after a border agreement between the two nations. Terra Mariana took strict decisions against Hiiumaa and its mayor, without success. KARL465, despite the prohibition from both Terra Mariana and Latvia, created his own nation on April 29, called Estonia. Terra Mariana took part to the massive Estonian - Latvian War started on May 2, 2019, with 17 coutries against Estonia. KARL465 sold Estonia to Poland, ending the war after 1 day. Now Hiiumaa was part of Polish Estonia.

The nation of Polish Estonia has been disbanded manually by K_arl, which went away and bought a new nation and Hiiumaa has been given to TommyJ2.

The Uzhitz question with Greater Finland

On May 2nd, 2019, after 2 weeks of planning, nicosecci created Uzhitz. Greater Finland immediately responded to the creation of the town, by asking to join their nation, getting a negative answer from nicosecci. One day, a couple of Finnish players came to Uzhitz and griefed its surroundings. Juuzoz_, the president of Greater Finland, came to fix the damage caused by the furious citizens, and with this a diplomatic resolution started.

Greater Finland against Terra Mariana

A group of Finns created the town of Super-Alko in Terra Mariana's territory, as well as a warship next to Hiiumaa. The whole southern coast of Greater Finland has been claimed, costing houdreds of gold, in order to block connections between Uzhitz and the mainland Terra Mariana. Greater Finland and Terra Mariana were both preparing for a war.

Tampere change sides

Suddenly Tampere switched sides, joining Terra Mariana. This happened because the mayor of Tampere MM1kael and the nation's leaders had tensions on factions. The event was so unexpected, that Terra Mariana thought it was a spy, trying to avoid sharing secret plans and strategies. Some days later Tampere joined Greater Finland again, after the situation between MM1kael and Finnish leaders was resolved. Luckily, no war ever happened.

The "Worst night"

On June 2nd, 2019, the temporary mayor of Hiiumaa - TommyJ2 - was having an arguement with mishprsu, about claims bordering its town BlackFall. He wanted some plots claimed by Hiiumaa. TommyJ2 sold the town to ciao000000, an ex citizen of the town. Suddenly, BlackFall left Terra Mariana, asserting that the plots he wanted, weren't unclaimed. The situation was critical and it had to be resolved as soon as possible. After some minutes, ciao000000 put Hiiumaa for sale. nicosecci, once realized the situation, had a decision to make: leave Hiiumaa to a new mayor or to save it and keep it in Terra Mariana. The final decision was taken and nicosecci left Uzhitz's mayorship to kiwicallum, to buy Hiiumaa for 64G from ciao000000.

At first, the plans were to find a new mayor for Hiiumaa, to let nicosecci back to his town, but this never happened and Uzhitz disbanded for inactivity.

The second King

After 5 months of the nation's existance, the King TommyJ2 became less active, leaving most of the administrative tasks to Egga_. He built the St. Thomas cathedral, where on June 21st 2019 his coronation took place.

The war against Norway

At first, the war started between Kalmar Union (current Sweden) and Norway to then escalate into two sides: Pro-Norwegian Powers and the Allied Powers. Since Terra Mariana was part of the UAS, as Kalmar Union, it has been dragged into war. On September 14th 2019, Norwegian forces carried out an attack on the capital of Terra Mariana, Arensburg. Using TNT, the attackers destroyed parts of the southern wall of the city and much of the St. Thomas Cathedral's exterior. In response to the incident, Terra Mariana released a statement condemning the Norwegian attack and officially excommunicating Norway from the Church of Terra Mariana. After the excommunication of Norway attacks have stopped and Terra Mariana pulled out of the war.

Relations with Lithuania

Lithuania was a neighbouring small nation near Terra Mariana, relations did not yet exist until Lithuania started expanding. At first, relations were positive until a town near the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, named Trakai, was founded and, after leaving Lithuania, joined Terra Mariana in July 2019. Lithuania proclaimed claims on it but Terra Mariana refused to give it up, stating that towns have their own will to stay or leave. Lithuania disliked the statement and decided to cut ties with Terra Mariana. From there the relations started going downhill quickly.

The re-alliance against White Russia

Eventually, Terra Mariana and Lithuania tried to revive the lost alliance they had. Relations were going in a positive way again and at the same time the threat of White Russian expansion gave another reason to ally. But this wouldn't last due to Lithuania's rapid expansion trough the Baltic region which Terra Mariana had claimed. There still were some plans to excavate rivers and give Lithuania sea access but, despite the construction of the Krolewiec-Vilnius tunnel, things did not work out. Lithuania demanded to have Klaipeda, a town abandoned by Lithuania's leader months before and then claimed Terra Mariana, but cenelis, the town's mayor, refused to leave.

The fall of Lithuania

Lithuania then created a new town called Sventoji, placed on the west coast of Arensburg. From there on, relations plummeted and all alliance deals were cut. The two nations relations wouldn't recover and a cold war began between the Baltics. Multiple border clashes happened near the towns of Siauliai and Lion City. Town rushes occured when opposing sides tried to claim abandoned town ruins. It seemed like war was around the corner, but in April 2020, Lithuania disbanded due to internal issues and disputes.

The Third King

The question of the next heir to the Terra Marina's throne began around the end of 2019, when at the time King Egga_ had announced to the nation that after his 8th month jubilee he will abdicate and the new heir selected by him would have taken his place. In the early months it was unclear who would have been the next king. There were numerous tries of finding a heir: from a test taken by the Royal Council, to an internal election Thereafter, a vote was commenced and nicosecci won the election. On April 16th, nicosecci was coronated as the new king of Terra Mariana, at the same time, he moved the capital to Hiiumaa and amended some parts of the constitution.
