During this time, Hatuqay struck a deal with the mayor of Osogbo, an African town, which allowed him to set up a shop there without having to pay the 5 daily that he would need to pay in order to make Anapa open for public spawn. He set up a TNT shop that over the coming months would become one of the largest TNT businesses in the server thanks to his extremely agressive marketing. | |||

Long-term infrastructure planning also began, including a grand metro line intended to connect Anapa-Circassia and Tuapse-Circassia to inland regions of the nation such as Poti, and extending further into the Crimean Peninsula. Production capacity was heavily expanded with the construction of dedicated sugarcane and leather megafarms. This output supplied a new network of Circassian-owned shops worldwide. Economic ties were established with the African town of Osogbo, where Circassia acquired property and opened a dedicated storefront. | Long-term infrastructure planning also began, including a grand metro line intended to connect Anapa-Circassia and Tuapse-Circassia to inland regions of the nation such as Poti, and extending further into the Crimean Peninsula.

Additionally, Circassian traders executed a highly profitable market manipulation during the server's "Moon Update". Traders bought large quantities of nether stars the moment the update was announced and resold them during peak demand. The inventory sold out completely, yielding an immense profit and further securing Circassia's economic strength. | Additionally, Circassian traders executed a highly profitable market manipulation during the server's "Moon Update".

Using the money acquired from the Moon update, Circassia expanded its territory with the founding of a third town, Abzakh-Circassia. The mayorship of this new settlement was granted to Lip. The autonomous principality's expansion continued eastward into the historical Kabardia region, also known as Eastern Circassia, with the establishment of its fourth town, Khabez-Circassia. The eastward expansion of the principality into the Kabardia region was driven by strategy: Georgia had begun acquiring territory near the Kabardia region. Their methods included founding new settlements, utilizing the controversial town-sniping tactic, and, in one notable instance, purchasing a town from an Iberian mayor who sold the land to Georgian forces. During this phase of expansion, an official naming convention was implemented across the entire principality. All settlements were restructured to place the local name before the sub-nation identifier, standardizing the territories as Anapa-Circassia, Tuapse-Circassia, Abzakh-Circassia, and Khabez-Circassia. Shortly after, a fifth town, Terek-Circassia, was founded further to the east by a rogue mayor without the Grand Prince or the ministers' consensus, despite being nowhere near the real-life Terek region, which is further east.[[File:Chat record of kill in Iberia.png|thumb|A screenshot from the server chat records of the moment the Georgian PvPer was killed.]][[File:Circassia-Crimea friendship agreement.png|thumb|Circassian-Crimean Friendship Agreement.|309x309px]] | Using the money acquired from the Moon update and the TNT sales, Circassia expanded its territory with the founding of a third town, Abzakh-Circassia.

Hostilities with Georgia persisted, characterized by the aggressive behavior of ''some'' Georgian players. Tensions culminated in a major border standoff between Iberian forces, which included members of Circassia, and Georgian players across two adjacent towns. While no physical combat occurred, the factions engaged in a lengthy exchange of banter via chat. This is when Circassian players noticed that the Georgian forces were deeply fractured. Observations revealed infighting and arguing among ''some'' of the Georgian players. In one notable incident, a group of Georgian raiders entered Circassian territory attempting to annoy the residents by throwing items, drinking potions and demanding fights in the chat. The Circassian citizens ignored the provocation, which eventually resulted in the raiders leaving. The harassment was later temporarily halted when he was engaged and defeated in combat by a citizen of the broader Iberian nation. | Hostilities with Georgia persisted, characterized by the aggressive behavior of ''some'' Georgian players.

Alongside established revenue streams such as trade, animal husbandry, and scavenging collapsed towns, Circassia expanded its domestic economy by introducing beekeeping and honey production. This roleplay-focused initiative successfully recreated the historical economy of real-life Circassia. Urban development also progressed steadily. Planners officially cleared the necessary space for the construction of the new city center. Even before the central district was completed, a new wave of residents arrived and proactively began constructing their own houses. Simultaneously, engineers drafted new plans for the national metro and subway systems to improve connectivity. | Alongside established revenue streams such as trade, animal husbandry, and scavenging collapsed towns, Circassia expanded its domestic economy by introducing beekeeping and honey production.

In a diplomatic move, Circassia formalized a friendship treaty with the Crimean Khanate, a sub-nation of Ukraine. The treaty was drafted after the Grand Prince of Circassia and the Khan of Crimea held a discussion. This treaty solidified their positive relationship and committed both entities to long-term peace and collaboration on common regional projects. Meanwhile, military vigilance remained a high priority on the eastern borders.

Meanwhile, military vigilance remained a high priority on the eastern borders. When a Georgian scout was discovered snooping around the Circassian towns of Terek and Khabez, Hatuqay eliminated the trespasser, maintaining the security of the Kabardia expansion. The scout dropped stacks of TNT, which turned out to be purchased from Hatuqay himself earlier. Hatuqay sold the TNT back to the scout, thus managing to sell the same TNT twice. | ||
Regional stability was temporarily disrupted when a player founded a new town in Sochi as part of Iberia (not to be confused with the earlier Sochi, now known as Tuapse). When Circassian leadership informed him that he was encroaching on their territorial claims, the player responded agressively. Circassian citizens ambushed and killed the player, with the mayor delivering the final blow. Following his defeat, the player defected to the enemy faction of Georgia. However, later talks with the player revealed it was a misunderstanding and the two sides exchanged apologies; the town however remained as part of Georgia, making it the closest Georgian town to Circassia and a way for Georgian players to teleport near Circassian territories easily; which later proved to be costly when some Circassian residents were killed by Georgian hunters while gathering resources. | Regional stability was temporarily disrupted when a player founded a new town in Sochi as part of Iberia (not to be confused with the earlier Sochi, now known as Tuapse).
