The towns of Tuapse and Terek enacted a surprise betrayal and seceded from Circassia. Despite Tuapse having been purchased directly with Circassian funds, both settlements completely severed ties with the sub-nation, although they had to remain under the overarching banner of the Iberian nation: joining enemy Georgia was an impossibility, and diplomatic deals between Iberia and its other neighbors prevented each other from accepting towns in each other's territory. The traitorous mayors subsequently renamed the territories; Tuapse was renamed to the gibberish "Suayp", while Terek was rebranded as "Kyzyl-Yurt", despite being nowhere near real-life Kyzyl-Yurt, which is much further east.

The secedding mayors subsequently renamed the territories; Tuapse was renamed to "Suayp", while Terek was rebranded as "Kyzyl-Yurt", despite being nowhere near real-life Kyzyl-Yurt, which is much further east.


Circassian leadership rejected this secession and officially refused to recognize the departure of the towns, formally designating both Suayp and Kyzyl-Yurt as illegally occupied territories. Despite the betrayal, Circassia's core power remained mostly unaffected. The backwater territory of Tuapse was never part of the original strategic expansion plan and possessed a shape poorly suited for development; it had only been acquired because an opportunistic purchase arose. Furthermore, Terek had initially been founded by a rogue mayor without any official authorization from Circassian leadership.

Knowing he technically still had access to the Circassian trial chamber, leadership anticipated the traitor mayor would attempt a raid. The chamber's entrance featured a massive underground drop that previously relied on a pool of water at the bottom to break a player's fall. In a calculated move, Circassian engineers drained the water and replaced it with solid lapis lazuli blocks. The trap worked perfectly. It is assumed that the traitor infiltrated the chamber, blindly jumped into the drop expecting water, and plummeted to his death on the lapis lazuli, losing all his items. Following the incident, the traumatized mayor was observed wandering his territory completely empty-handed. Instead of giving attention to the traitor towns, Circassian citizens focused their resources on massive architectural and infrastructural projects. To permanently quarantine the capital from the settlement of Suayp, construction began on a giant border wall. This colossal barrier was designed to eventually encircle the entirety of Anapa-Circassia. To project economic superiority, the wall was explicitly embedded with highly valuable gold and netherite blocks. Simultaneously, cultural development reached a new milestone. After acquiring massive quantities of necessary materials, construction officially began on a giant national mosque in Anapa. The grand structure was formally named the Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque, honoring the historical Circassian hero.

The completed blue-ice line successfully connected Anapa to Crimea (Ukraine) and Turkey. This connection established one of the longest continuous metro lines on the server, a scale of single-line infrastructure virtually non-existent even in Iberia proper. Travel between Crimea and Circassia was reduced to mere minutes, bringing a heavy influx of Ukrainian tourists to Anapa to view cultural landmarks like the Tughuzhuqo Qizbech Mosque. Simultaneously, a mysterious railway was discovered cutting through the Caucasus Mountains and ending abruptly. Recognizing a strategic opportunity, Circassian leadership opened negotiations with Soviet representatives to construct a transfer switch-station, aiming to seamlessly link the Circassian metro with the broader Soviet rail network.

The traitorous mayor of the secessionist town of Suayp (formerly Tuapse) found himself ruling over an undeveloped, poorly shaped territory with only a single resident. He resorted to vandalism, covering the Circassian flag and castle walls in dirt. Circassian leadership chose to ignore the vandalism, refusing to waste time and opting instead to focus on their ongoing infrastructural triumphs. After the flag was defaced, Circassian leadership remarked that "only pigs and dogs cover things around them with dirt." The traitor mayor attempted to retort using a Latin phrase he had likely gleaned from pop culture or Wikipedia, attempting to imply that Circassia deserved the dirt. However, in addition to what he attempted to say, the sentence he had used could also be translated to mean "everyone does as fits them". Lacking this linguistic context, the traitor failed to realize his phrasing could be interpreted as him calling himself a pig. Drawing on their real life Latin education, Circassian leaders called out the linguistic blunder. Confronted with his own self-deprecating mistranslation in front of the Circassian leadership, the mayor read the signs and immediately quit the game. Later, in an attempt to mark his territory or inflict harm, he planted spiky berry bushes along the open border. Circassian citizens found the idea that berry bushes could pose a lethal threat amusing and ultimately chose to leave the border completely bare and open, ignoring his antics.

Fueled by massive gold reserves, Circassia entered a golden age of municipal development. the administration implemented a highly structured urban planning doctrine. To accommodate the massive influx of new residents, an official "interior architecture" team was established. Because many new players lacked building experience, resulting in unsightly initial structures, this specialized team was tasked with freely redesigning and upgrading civilian homes to match the city's refined aesthetic standards. To maintain urban density and efficiency, the city instituted a strict repossession policy: if a player abandoned the game or became permanently inactive, their property was seized and reallocated to active citizens.

Circassia's population boom was not accidental, but the result of a highly orchestrated and partially classified recruitment strategy. With a highly efficient onboarding method targeting first-time players, Circassia routinely secured up to five new residents a day, limited only by the recruiters' own time and commitment. Acknowledging that their leadership consisted of players with commitments such as jobs, college, and families, Circassia, rarely from time to time, also hired mercenaries from opposing timezones. Paid an honest, minimal wage, these recruiters actively sourced new citizens while the Circassian leadership was inactive. To protect its growing population and maintain economic integrity, Circassia established a dedicated Anti-Scam Department. Agents actively investigated server scams, confronting known scammers. Some scammers even attempted to bribe Circassian agents, offering them a cut of the profits to become their apprentices in the scam. The Anti-Scam Department rejected these offers on moral grounds.

Building upon the monumental success of the blue-ice metro line connecting Ukraine and Turkey, the Circassian government announced a master infrastructure plan: every Circassian city would eventually receive its own dedicated metro station, while excavation toward Poti was also planned for the future.  
Building upon the success of the blue-ice metro line connecting Ukraine and Turkey, the Circassian government announced a master infrastructure plan: every Circassian city would eventually receive its own dedicated metro station, while excavation toward Poti started During this time, a new town, Maykop, was also established.


UPDATED 5.10.2026
In Khabez, citizens constructed a mapart platform. This canvas was used to build a Circassian flag mapart. Upon its completion, citizens were able to mass-produce and place in-game map items displaying the Circassian flag across the region's homes, streets, and government buildings.
 
Soon, the metro line connecting the network to Abzakh was officially completed. Shortly after the founding of Maykop, its respective subway connection was also successfully finished and opened for transit. Furthermore, the extensive subterranean lines connecting to Khabez and the Iberian transit hub of Poti were completed.
