Coats (Aurora): Difference between revisions

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  SgtCartoon, withdrawn from the success and glamour of his Terra Nova nation of Kodiak, saught a similar place to begin construction of a similar town in Terra Aurora.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 neccessary 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 [[Aurora:Twinpeaks|Twinpeaks]].

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.  The economy of Coats rapidly grew, with SgtCartoon personally owning shops on the main street to expand Coats' coffers.

 

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

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 alliance, so much so that as many as 10 Coats residents were involved in USA elections; and the meganation would collapse following Coats' secession.
