History

Ancient Era _{(May 1 2022 - May 15 2022)}

Early Beginnings

The Terra Aurora server was opened to Premium Players on May 1 and plans were made by the former Indochinese to settle in Egypt. Another group that was interested in settling in Egypt was the Ancient Egyptians who had experience in the region throughout the Terra Nova server.

The Ancient Egyptians were the first people to create a town in Egypt on May 1 2022, this town was called Giza and was situated near the Great Bitter Lake, close to where the real town of Suez is located meanwhile, despite the late start, the former Indochinese created towns on May 2 2022, those being Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez.

Contention for the Nation

Both groups began to mine frantically to try and create Egypt first on May 2, with major progress being made the former Indochinese that day which eventually caused them to create the nation a day later on May 3. The nation being created by them resulted in a boost of morale to continue growing towns and the nation.

Suez Crisis

With the nation created and the two groups coexisting in Egypt, tensions heightened due to uncertainty about around each other. The Ancient Egyptians continued with their dedication to their Egyptian project with them beginning early stages of construction of the Suez Canal, a strategic important area for the former Indochinese, now known as Egyptians.

Discussions between Egypt and the Ancient Egyptians began on May 4 about the future of the region and Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians wishing to claim the Sinai Peninsula, the Suez Canal, parts of the Nile Delta and Nile River itself in return for joining Egypt meanwhile the Egyptians wished to be united under one nation with no restrictions on where one another could claim.

A lack of agreement between the two parties eventually caused the Ancient Egyptians to seek other opportunities outside of Egypt as the future they wished for was fading and Giza was sold to the Egyptians for 64 gold on May 7.

Completion of the Suez Canal

Once Giza (now known as Suez was under Egyptian control, construction continued and the canal was officially opened to public usage on May 7. However, further plans to embellish the canal were planned for the future.

End of Premium access

The Premium access to Terra Aurora ended on May 8 and the server was scheduled to be opened to the public on May 13 2022. Egypt had prepared for the public release with last minute claims and mining trips.

Dawn Era _{(May 15 2022 - Nov 15 2022)}

Sinai Crisis

After the start of the public release, The nation of Egypt faced a new problem, The town of Jerusalem was created and the people had plan to create Israel. A ticket was created on the Egyptian discord to discuss about it and concluded a Refusal to a Jewish state in the region. The Israelis people ignored that and created the nation of Israel.

To counter the Jewish state, NeFFeeh and the Former King Fluxeeh invested a lot of gold (around 3,000g) for developing town around and assure their claim in the region Al-Quds, Petra and the Suez were the principal town invested. To counter Jewish expansion and assure peace in the area, Egypt, Babylon and Rüm (Turkey) created the Saadabad Pact and formalized border between them.

Only one battle occurred: The Skirmish of Jerusalem (Egypt,Babylon and Turkey)

• 5 deaths on the Jerusalem side
• 0 deaths on the Egyptian side

Decline of Egypt

From July to August 2022, Egypt went through a period of decline, this was instigated by an overall lack of interest to play on EarthMC which was made apparent by the inactivity of Fluxeeh and other key members of Egypt. Not much progress was made during this period as the nation continued to decline due to inactivity, Egypt suffered a massive loss in terms of losing its second biggest town at the time, Al Quds. Omereise, the former mayor of Al Quds sold the town to Israel, this was seen as a blatant betrayal by Egypt which had invested a considerable amount of gold into the town and had supported its fight against Israel.

Around August, Egypt had dropped to its lowest point, its overall resident count had dropped below twenty and Egyptian towns were beginning to leave to join Israel instead, the towns of Alexandria and Bushlandia left Egypt to join Israel. Another town on the Israeli border, Petra left Egypt due to the lack of a nation bonus and overall inactivity in Egypt. At the same time Israel had launched their expansion into Egypt, four Israeli towns had been made within Egypt, and three of these towns were made close to Cairo, surrounding the Egyptian Capital on the South, West, and North (including the former Egyptian town of Alexandria).

20 August 2022 marked the end of this period, on this day Fluxeeh, notable for being the King of Terra Nova Indochina, one of the Founders of the Rajasa Pact, and the Founder and First King of Egypt, announced his abdication and departure from EarthMC. Replacing him was Lumpeeh, formerly the Mayor of Mecca and a long-time player on Terra Nova Indochina.

Rebirth of Egypt and Isolationism

After Lumpeeh had given Mecca to Iseeeh (a member of the Egyptian Royal Family), he moved to Cairo where the nation was passed over to Lumpeeh and he was set up to be the new and Second King of Egypt. Lumpeeh faced multiple immediate issues, these were: rampant inactivity, a decline in towns and claimed chunks, a non-existent nation bonus, Israeli expansion into Egypt, Egyptian towns leaving to join other nations, and other attempts from Arabia to recruit Egyptian towns. Using his experience from Terra Nova, decided that the best way to get Egypt out of the decline was through restoring confidence within the nation, he hoped to do this through Cairo with combined recruiting, expanding, and building. Along with this was the introduction of daily logs, which functioned as a diary/news channel for daily updates in Cairo, currently it has over 64 posts detailing Cairo’s growth and build-up from 20 August 2022 to now.

Particularly Egypt became increasingly isolationistic, rejecting offers to join any other alliances in Africa or the Middle East (except for the Caliphate), this was done under the principle that the focus should solely be on reversing the decline and on favoring practical reasoning over external reasoning e.g., matters that have no practical effect on in-game progress. Egypt did not get involved in any affairs outside of Egypt, most notably the numerous wars and interventions that occurred in the Middle East surrounding Kushan and the Sassanid Empire. Lumpeeh introduced some reforms to the banking system, the recruitment system, and the Egyptian Government, but elections were suspended and are still so presently. Through sustained growth and expansion, Egypt was able to slowly reverse the decline that had been caused by inactivity, by early October Egypt was at around sixty-plus residents, one thousand chunks, and was at around fifteen towns.

The Israeli towns within Egypt slowly began to fall one by one, most notable was the fall of Israeli Alexandria and the restoration of Egyptian Alexandria under Neffeeh, marking the end of Israeli presence and control over the Nile Delta. During this time, the Caliphate was formed, an alliance between Egypt and Turkey, this was the first diplomatic action taken under Lumpeeh since August. However, the policy of isolationism and the heavy emphasis on reversing the decline proved to be highly effective, Egypt was not entangled with outside affairs meaning that it could primarily focus on resolving its internal issues which it was able to do, by now Egypt had completely reversed its decline. The downside to this is that Egypt was isolated in the region, combined with the older generation of nations within the region falling or going inactive made this situation far more drastic, though this was resolved in late January. Egypt’s overall stats had significantly shifted since August and surpassed pre-decline Egypt, by mid-January Egypt had achieved over two thousand claimed chunks, around one hundred and forty residents, and had twenty-five towns, a tremendous transformation from a declining nation to an actively growing nation.

Advent Era _{(Nov 15 2022 - Feb 15 2023)}

Rise of the Libyan Coast

Following the growth efforts taking place in the Nile Delta, the Egyptian-occupied Libyan coast was also beginning to grow. After StoffeH, who originally settled in the Caribbean, and who was a longtime friend of Neffeeh, the original owner of the town of Benghazi, managed to gain ownership over the town. Neffeeh left to create the town of Alexandria. With help from the government, the two towns that were situated on the coast, Benghazi and Tobruk, began to grow.

The Heist of Benghazi

During mid-November, the neighboring nation to the south-west, Chad, had begun an operation to unite the Libyan Coast under their nation. Efforts were being made to purchase the towns on the coast, including Benghazi. After multiple denied attempts, the efforts were going on for weeks. To take matters into their own hands, StoffeH had agreed with the purchase of the town, except Chad did not receive the town.

On December 2 2022, a sum of 1,150 gold was sent to StoffeH for the purchase of Benghazi. Since he had originally made it clear to Chad that he did not want to sell his town, and after weeks of being pestered by them, he had taken the gold and refused to give the town up. Since there was a lack of a middleman, and there were not much photo or video evidence of the event happening, StoffeH managed to get away with the scam, leaving the Chadian economy in shambles, and outrage across their government. In response to the scam, members of the Chadian government taken matters into their own hands and stormed the chats of the Egyptian discord stating what needs to be done before a possible war is waged.

Chad issue

Following the heist that had taken place in Benghazi, and after their failed attempts to raid the Egyptian discord, their operation in uniting the Libyan coast was promoted much more compared to prior to the event. This time, their effort was focused on blocking Benghazi from expanding in retaliation to the sum of gold stolen from them. The efforts made and the gold spent would end up being a disaster for Chad a few months later. New towns and existing towns had been pushed to expand, including the towns of Brega, Misratah, and the new towns of zawyiat, bros, and Libya. A staged court hearing for StoffeH had taken place to ease the tensions between the two nations, which did work out, however a treaty was also proposed, with the terms all in favor of Egypt, which Chad declined.

War was on the verge of being waged, pushing Benghazi, Tobruk, and the new town of Cyrenaica, to expand as much as they can and grow. Despite multiple efforts of them attempting to retrieve the gold back, all failed, leading them to find other ways to try and take over the Libyan coast. Methods include map hunting, trapping, and claim-blocking.

Sinai claim disputes settled

In mid-January, the claim disputes in the Sinai Peninsula between Egypt and Israel were finally settled and the area was divided with Egypt claiming it's towns and Israel claiming the rest of the peninsula. An outlier, which was the town of Damascus, later sold to Syria, would be the exception of Egyptian towns that would be claimed in Israel.

Levantine Pact

On January 25 2023, the three nations of Egypt, Israel, and Phoenicia had came to discuss the formation of a defensive pact. A three-way alliance was formed hours after the discussion in order to protect the Levant area from invasion from nearby nations such as Kushan. After the formation of the pact, the alliance was open to other nearby nations to join.

Aquisition of Ancient Egypt

In late January, plans were made to find a way to claim the land which was originally claimed by the nation of Ancient Egypt since their fall was inevitable.

On February 4 2023, the capital of Lux, owned by Lervain, was being sold for a price of a few thousand gold, due to his plans of departing to South Sudan. Egypt responded quickly by purchasing the nation and town. The nation was disbanded, and the town of Lux is now owned by Lackeeh.

Egyptian-Chadian War

Following the efforts Chad has continued on to get their revenge on Egypt, the Egyptians also had plans on retaliation.

A series of operations on hunting and killing Chadian citizens and sandminers were carried out in mid-January.

Fort Gort

Fort Gort is a large defensive structure, located in Tobruk, and as of now, the only one or its kind in Egypt. It holds a sizeable Main Keep, aptly named "Gortskeep", as well as a smithing area and stables.

Etimology

The fort is named after a Benghazi steed, named Gort. A fine stallion indeed, Gort's rider was as admirable as he, Stoffeeh "The Greek Slayer" of the Eeh Family. Gort was savagely and underhandedly murdered by the Greek populace of Mersa Matruh.

General History

Fort Gort was constructed and designed by Guyeeh, with material aid from mainly the PM of Egypt at the time, UnleashdaBarista, but in a smaller capacity from the king himself, Lumpeeh the second. It was finished in mid-July 2023.

Role

Fort Gort serves mainly as a resupply hub for the REA, with its secondary function being to provide a defensive advantage to Tobruk's defenders, from any would be Eastern Incurisions. It also has a, perhaps unintended, function of standing tall and imposing upon the border with Mersa Matruh. Several documented instances show the Greeks awed by the architecture of Fort Gort.

Description

The entrance into the fort's courtyard sits upon the upper portion of Tobruk, however, it spans in length to the coastline. Built onto the water itself sit 2 of the fort's towers, which are connected via a pillar-supported bridge.

Its western wall, and its longest, faces Tobruk's old town in its lower half and in its upper half, Tobruk's new residential district. Thus, by proxy, it has a lateral relation to the Tobruk "St. Biden" River, which itself was summoned by God himself when a the Church of Tobruk was first built.

The eastern half of the wall is actually made up of 2 walls. It begins from the Gatehouse and melds into the Main Keep's eastern, windowed, portion. The main keep is itself supported by the second Eastern wall.

Foreign relations

The foreign relations of Egypt are handled by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Egypt is a member of the Levantine Pact which includes the nations of Israel, Phoenicia, the Sasanian Empire, Armenia, and Yemen.

Egypt continues to be a nation of influence within Africa, the Middle East and globally.
