Luckily Reykjavik still had 2 players in it, one of which was MylesRatliff, who was able to reclaim Reykjavik and save the oldest town in Europe from falling.

The month of July would also see the start of discussions on the movement of the Ireland's capital. Ireland's capital was in a 1 chunk down inside of Dublin since the end of May but concerns would arise with the capital's location, mainly being that if a Hoyenah would ever want to they could get a large area of Dublin's claims removed by reporting them for claim blocking. At the end of June the government got their hands on a small 3x3 town called Better_Dublin, and that would be the place theorized as a possible new capital location.

The government would put pressure on the Emirates saying that they don't have the power to do that. On August 13th the Emirates would vote to leave the North Sea Republic.

Though with the nation of Scotland being taken care of the rest was still not over because the town of Glasgow was still set to fall, and there was some competition. Operation Unicorn was a project to claim up all of Glasgow, with 10 active members of the operation. The goal was to get everyone they could to be apart of Skye and online when Glasgow fell so that they could claim it as quick as possible. To achieve this easier they created a tunnel system under Glasgow with each person assigned a tunnel. When November 9th, 2022 came the time when the town was supposed to fall, 6:00 AM EST, came and went, it took until 8:35 AM EST for the town to actually fall due to lag. The town was able to be claimed in its entirety in less than 2 minutes, with no one else able to get a chunk of the town.
