A group of Circassian friends were aware of the existence of EarthMC, but disturbed by the fact that historical Circassia was always owned by randoms who did not even know what Circassia is. There was nothing they could do, so they moved on. Once they learned that the map has been reset, they planned to join and build Circassia. Thus the town is modeled after the historical country of Circassia and was founded (in [[Terra Nostra]]) by a group of Circassian friends to build their homeland in the game, though over time members of other ethnicities also joined the town. | A group of Circassian friends were aware of the existence of EarthMC, but disturbed by the fact that historical Circassia was always owned by randoms who did not even know what Circassia is.

The founders initially intended to build the town near the Kuban River near the IRL Adygea region. However, this territory was already occupied by a hostile, Tsarist nationalist town. Refusing to interact with the hostile/fascist neighbors, the founders decided to change their strategy and chose the Taman peninsula as a possible location.

However, this territory was already occupied by a hostile, Tsarist nationalist town. Refusing to interact with the hostile/fascist neighbors, the founders decided to change their strategy and chose the Taman peninsula as a possible location. Lacking the gold to establish a new town, Patli contacted leaders from the nations of Georgia and Iberia, assuming both of them to be led by IRL Georgians, who were the only other Caucasians in the game at the time. The leaders of the town of Georgia were unresponsive. Iberia responded positively and invited him to their territory. The founders received a plot in the Iberian town of Venakhi, located in Azerbaijan, where they built a temporary embassy and received enchanted diamond gear to start them off. | ||
The founders collected gold through daily server voting and mining. Handshake deals at the time placed the entire North Caucasus under the claim of the Soviet Union, so the founders negotiated with the central Soviet leadership in Moscow and agreed to establish their town under the Soviet Union temporarily. To avoid detection in the map, the members swam underwater across the entire Black Sea from the Azerbaijani and Georgian coasts to the Taman Peninsula. Hostile hunters attacked the group during the journey, but the founders escaped. They passed the small town of VigNation along the route, which they liked for its simple architecture. | The founders collected gold through daily server voting and mining.

After this, | While collecting wood to make a quick buck, a town member was ambushed by hostile Georgian players using invisibility potions and bows. After this, Patli decided to mount a counter-offensive to take revenge and fight for their nation, and for the first time, Circassia went on the offensive. Patli purchased some cheap combat gear and potions and started patrolling the Caucasus. Tracking the Georgians in a Georgian outpost located in southern Azerbaijan, Patli launched an attack. The operation was a success; yielding three kills and seized loot, but most importantly, morale. This proved to be the first significant victory of the developing town. Following the initial counter-offensive, Patli raided further south to hunt additional Georgian targets. Upon reaching a Georgian outpost, utilizing an invisibility potion, he attempted to lure an enemy player out of their safe claims. This resulted in a 30-minute bow standoff. Although the skirmish ended without a decisive winner and Patli withdrew, the operation successfully disrupted Georgian productivity. The enemy was observed on the server map paranoidly searching for Patli long after the engagement ended. | ||
Back near Circassia, the town faced a wave of targeted harassment. Anonymous threatening signs began appearing just outside the town's borders. Furthermore, invisible attackers repeatedly targeted town members during routine wood-gathering operations. The attackers also placed TNT-trapped chests designed to kill whoever opened them. Circassian citizens easily identified and avoided the traps, but town leadership concluded that enemy forces were actively monitoring the server map to target them. | Back near Circassia, the town faced a wave of targeted harassment.

Upon reviewing the incident, Patli realized the scam was incredibly simple to replicate and could generate massive amounts of wealth for the town. Despite the potential for extreme profit, Circassia refused to engage in the unethical practice. To accelerate the town's wealth accumulation for the planned city rebuild, leadership established the Circassian Mining Corps. Equipped with highly efficient pickaxes and potions, the Corps launched a massive underwater mining operation. By utilizing the Nether to travel immense distances, the miners accessed completely isolated, previously untouched caverns. The operation yielded a massive amount of gold, and the exact coordinates of the site remain strictly classified to prevent rival players from finding it. Simultaneously, the town formed the Exploration Corps. this group embarked on long-distance expeditions to the extreme corners of the world and various exotic locations. Upon reaching these distant milestones, the Corps established a tradition of leaving signed markers to permanently document Circassia's presence across the globe. | ||

Circassia enforces strict laws against scamming, trapping, and fraudulent behavior. The town immediately outlaws any known frauds and toxic players. The town members prefer manual exploration over teleportation, because it is more fun. Some town residents often travel on horseback across the Eurasian Steppe and further, visiting regions including the Balkans, Kazakhstan, Samarkand, Astrakhan, Dagestan, and as far as Siberia. | Circassia enforces strict laws against scamming, trapping, and fraudulent behavior. The town immediately outlaws any known frauds and toxic players. The town members prefer manual exploration over teleportation, because it is more fun. Some town residents often travel on horseback across the Eurasian Steppe and further, visiting regions including the Balkans, Kazakhstan, Samarkand, Astrakhan, Dagestan, and as far as Siberia. Patli and other members such as Tosun also participate in these campaigns. Because members carry basic gear in these campaigns, they suffer zero financial loss when killed by heavily armed players. During these expeditions, members scavenge unique biomes and abandoned towns for loot, rare animals, and abandoned town banners as trophies. Circassia utilizes the Nether for long distance travel. Members study the Nether to build/master secret tunnels. Sometimes, members ride on horseback to neighboring settlements to deliver small gifts, maintain positive relations, and invite other towns to join their nation. The town maintains positive relations with most neighbors, with the strict exception of toxic players. The town is also a member of the Islamic Caliphate, an Islamic community in EarthMC. | ||
