Coats is a popular economic center and regional power in the Hudson Bay region of North America, the mainland territory of which comprises Coats Island and the nation's capital city, Twinpeaks. Coats' territory stretches from Northern Québec to the Western portion of the Hudson Bay, while the nation officially claims a large portion of Northern Canada.

Coats was founded on 10 July 2022 by it's current governor, SgtCartoon. Coats served as the continuation of SgtCartoon's ambition towards the creation of a prosperous trading nation on EarthMC, previously fulfilled by the nation of Kodiak on Terra Nova.

A view of Twinpeaks from a top-down view

Not dissimilar to it's predecessor, the capital of Twinpeaks has generated thousands of gold and has upheld a government of multiple notorious players. Twinpeaks emerged as the most populous town on the server on 10 October 2022, cementing the town's position as undisputed leader of Coats.

The town of Twinpeaks maintains a certain influence over the other towns in Coats, owing to the town's strategic position and the date in which the nation was founded, as well as the town's unusual activity for the region. Twinpeaks hosted the 10-11 September 2022 Formula 1 race at its Coats International Track. The race potentially brought greater popularity for the nation. Twinpeaks' success was emboldened not only by SgtCartoon's efforts, but also the efforts of gite, of whom has been generously rewarded the title of Leader of Coats as of 16 November 2022.

History

Pre-founding (26 Jun - 10 Jul 2022)

A Terra Nova veteran, SgtCartoon joined Terra Aurora on 26 June 2022. SgtCartoon, withdrawn from the success and glamour of his Terra Nova nation of Kodiak, sought a similar place to begin construction of a similar town in Terra Aurora. SgtCartoon elected for the previously uninhabited island of Coats Island situated in the Hudson Bay for his new town. SgtCartoon immediately began work towards generating the gold necessary to create Coats, with his previous business experience proving extensively useful in this endeavor. SgtCartoon used a combination of selling netherite ingots and mining to expand his coffers, while his efforts were helped by player Cochonou; allowing the nation to be created merely two weeks following the founding of Twinpeaks.

Early History (10 Jul - 11 Sep 2022)

The nation of Coats was founded on 10 July 2022, in the capital city of Twinpeaks. SgtCartoon had personally selected the late 1800s American colonial style for the theme of the town's buildings, of which he started construction well before Coats was founded. SgtCartoon's insistence of this style eventually resulted in Rule 1 of the residents rules, which prevents Twinpeaks residents from modifying the exterior of their homes.

SgtCartoon and his town members quickly got to work constructing a lively shopping street in the town's center, and advertising efforts for business in Coats began. Much like Kodiak before it, potential store owners had to auction for a shop on the town's main street, with the ownership of the land being rewarded to the highest bidder. SgtCartoon personally owned businesses in the town's center, of which he restocked daily. These developments resulted in Twinpeaks emerging as a major economic center on the server.

Similar to Kodiak, SgtCartoon began the expansion of Twinpeaks into residential housing, while the profits from the shopping center allowed the placement of a Speed II beacon on 24 July 2022.

Diplomatic Expansion

Following the success of the Twinpeaks economic center, the nation of Coats began looking outwards to expand its' influence and be involved in North American affairs. This was most exemplified when Coats finalized it's application for membership in the USA meganation, which was accepted on 7 August 2022. Coats would prove a valuable member in the meganation, so much so that as many as 10 Coats residents were involved in USA elections; and the meganation would collapse following Coats' secession.

Vassalization of Nunavik (8/21/22)

Coats officially vassalized the nation of Nunavik with the permission of player Serwatek. This diplomatic event created a foothold for Coats in the Québec peninsula, changing Coats' diplomatic strategy for the future. The nation of Nunavik publicly proclaimed its' desire for a peaceful unification of Québec, which Coats officially supported. This relationship with Nunavik empowered the vassal state to unite New Brunswick into a vassal of itself, creating a unique "vassal of a vassal" situation, propelling Nunavik towards their eventual goal of Québécois unification.

Anime Prohibition (9/4/22)
