Nova:California: Difference between revisions

California was the 45th nation ever made. California is also the 15th oldest nation in the server that is still standing, excluding all the older nations that have been disbanded.

No_Jewtsu started playing on EMC on 10/26/2018. He spawned in Wisconsin and started making his way to Beijing, where he wanted to make his first nation and town ([[Beijing]]). He finally created the town on 10/27/2018. He was building his town while also gaining and losing a lot of town members at the same time, but he had one loyal town member, BadMineBoy17. He followed No_Jewtsu everywhere and helped him with everything. Beijing was not doing so well, and No_Jewtsu wasn't very confident with it. Because of this, No_Jewtsu decided to make Los Angeles, based on where he lives in real life. They start making their way over and they finally arrived. It was very difficult getting there since there was barely any nations to teleport to back then. Towns also only costed 32 gold, so they were going to make the town rather quickly. Los Angeles was officially created on 11/11/2018.

Local towns were popping up in the Californian area, some competing on who can make California first. NigelFarage666, mayor of San Francisco and No_Jewtsu decided who could get 512 gold first to make the nation of Califoria. This event was called "The Great Race" and it lasted for a very short time (2 days) because San Francisco wanted to join California instead of making it. On 11/20/18, the [[Old California Confederacy|Old Californian Confederacy]] was formed between Sacramento (Cmad88), San Francisco (NigelFarage666/FrankUnderwood22), and Los Angeles (No_Jewtsu). These three players were the founding fathers of California. The purpose of this confederacy was to make the creation of California faster and more efficient. Las Vegas (AmazingHotDogMan) joins the confederacy a day after it's created.

The confederacy needed a government system in order to keep organized. The system was heavily debated between Cmad88 and No_Jewtsu because they both had opposite ideologies and political views. They decided to go with something common in other nations, democracy. The Californian government was broken up into 3 parts. The municipal governments, the Executive government, and the Congressional government. The municipal government was a group of the town mayors from each city state of the nation, and when an act is passed, they always get a say. They exist mainly to manage their own towns, yet they also help making decisions in the government. The executive government was made of the President and Vice President. President is voted differently every two weeks, and presidents choose their vice presidents. The executive government as a whole makes managing decisions for the entire nation. The Congressional government was a congress of representatives, one from each state, that are voted upon by each of the towns. The job of this congress is to create laws that protect the nation and represent the needs of the towns. Other additional laws: Municipal governors can hold executive positions, however they cannot hold congressional positions. If towns had a population of 1, or an inactive population, they did not participate in the federal government. This government was mainly managed through discord.

The operation of creating California was going very smoothly. 414 gold was gained through donations from the confederacy and pure grinding. EMC's towny broke and the gold could not be deposited. No_Jewtsu was away at the minute, so he directed an order to his longtime companion, BadMineBoy17. His order was to keep the 414 gold in his inventory so it can not be stolen by random town members. Due to his incompetence, he invited a random town member to Los Angeles while also storing the gold in a chest. This random player stole all of the 414 gold in the chest on 11/25/2018 and with that he created the nation of Morocco. Sadly, No_Jewtsu did not know that a random player stole it, so the confederacy voted on the fate of BadMineBoy17. He was voted to be exiled from the California area completely, he was outlawed. BadMineBoy17 would never be seen again and would later settle in [[Scythia]], Ryazan (disbanded town). Cmad88 was the first person that No_Jewtsu reached out to in the Californian area, other than BadMineBoy17. This would result in the new vice president of the theorized government being cmad88 of Sacramento, instead of BadMineBoy17.

While all the Californians were sad because of the loss of all their efforts, they did not give up. No_Jewtsu put in a lot of effort to recover from the robbery. Los Angeles builds "The Wall of Loss" to protect itself from thieves (note: No_Jewtsu had no idea how towny commands worked back in the day leading to multiple robberies and slow expansion). The gold was made even quicker this time and No_Jewtsu prepared Mac3030 to make the town of El Paso. The town of Lake Tahoe, owned by who is now known as SeedyCharacter, joined the confederacy a few hours before the nation was created.

====The Creation of California====

The brand new nation of California was still using the government structure of the Old Californian Confederacy. The citizens and the leaders of California felt that the government was too complicated. In order to fix this, No_Jewtsu and Cmad88 rearranged the democratic government into something more simple. California's political system transforemd into a representative democracy. No_Jewtsu would still be the president of California while Cmad88 would still be the vice president of California. The mayors were the individual leaders of their towns that are apart of California. Each town had a representative. Representatives were elected by the citizens of California to pass and make laws for California. California holds a presidential election every month. However, elections were not held every month and instead averaged around 20 days. This was because most of the presidents during this time resigned or became inactive. The democratic system of this age was disorganized and only lasted 74 days from the start of The Old Californian Confederacy with the last president being SeedyCharacter.

====The Sacramento Conflict====

Z1rbster, the potential president before Lompoc declared their independence, announced that the leaders of Lompoc would hold a constitutional convention and re-invite all the towns that were kicked/left. No_Jewtsu double checks with [[iceslash28]] and it is confirmed and guaranteed that the old towns are getting invited back. The_Lone_Sp3rm reaches out to Cascadia and joins them, canceling the convention. No_Jewtsu is banned on 2/5/2019.

====Making of Pacific States====

On 2/15/2019 the southern Californian nation, [[Pacific States]], was disbanded due to the leader, NigelFarage666 being banned for duping gold. This gives a slight advantage to Oceanside, a town of NCR, due to it not being claim blocked by Pacific States anymore. The mayor of Oceanside says he will start to become active again since the frustration between Pacific States is over.

====End of The Old California Era====

The only thing keeping up the remnants of Old California was the newly founded nation of the [[New Californian Republic]]. However this nation would go right into inactivity for a couple of months.

====New Californian Republic Joins Cascadia====

The_Lone_Sp3rm gets the king rank of NCR and renamed the nation back to California to soon after reform the government into a triumvirate. An oligarchy style government was the best pick after going back into Californian history where democracy failed every time. The triumvirs are The_Lone_Sp3rm, lim_brick and iceslash28. Lake Tahoe "leaves" Cascadia on 6/13/2019 so they can join California while California still remains under Cascadian power.

California peacefully declares their independence from the Cascadians on 9/6/2019 without any intent to hate on them or to declare war. California compliments Cascadia for all they have done for them and how the declaration was not because they did something wrong. No wars occurred during this period of time. It was simply a friendly declaration. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/10o1YutFDCbeAvXtjtQLg4mLw4W46FgvYq3md2d7MV28/edit The_Lone_Sp3rm's speech] (doc). This speech creates the motto for California, "Ursus Robur!"

====Leadership of the Triumvirs====

The nation is better than it was before with many thriving towns and excellent leadership. The new Triumvirate of California was made up of The_Lone_Sp3rm, lim_brick, and iceslash28. The Triumvirate is laying low and tries to keep peace between other nations and seeks any opportunity to invite a nearby town. California maintains their chill attitude throughout the West Coast. California joins the House of Uesegi (Asian defensive alliance) on 10/6/2019.The_Lone_Sp3rm introduces an event called CaliFriday exclusive to those only in the [https://discord.gg/bpk8HYn California Discord]. It doesn't look like California is going to decline anytime soon. No_Jewtsu introduces the Californian Recruitment Discord on 11/18/2019 to give California a slight boost on activity. A new player enters California by the name of Uma_Delicia. He recommends the idea of founding a militia to protect and preserve abandoned buildings in California from griefers and enemies. Lim_brick implements this idea and makes an official voluntary militia for California on 11/20/2019.

The nation succeeds at beings its best and conquering most of the United States West Coast. California went through rough changes like dealing with horrible and inactive leaders and becoming the New Californian Republic. The new government of California, led by triumvirs, puts California back on its feet. The nations makes the first page of /n list for the first time. '''<u>California turns a year old on 11/28/2019 11:06pm PST.</u>'''

The town of Lompoc, last held by BedWyre, falls into ruins due to inactivity on 12/4/2019. Californians try to preserve it from griefers. [[Nick]] (owner of [[Stephenville]], [[Nova Scotia]]) and [[Gawker]] (owner of [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]) fend off the raiders by repeatedly killing them until the spawn was changed. SeedyCharacter changes the spawn of the nation and blocks it off to prevent raiders. The citizens of California are sad to see such a historical town go into ruins. California seeks for another claimant for Lompoc. A day later on 12/5/2019, a loyal Californian by the name of [[ThatTechDude343]] reclaims the town of Lompoc. With this claim, the town of Lompoc is protected from griefers. The owner then switched to Mac3030, who is a former Californian who is known for their inactivity. It is not a good hand-off for Lompoc and it faces disbandment. After the town of Lompoc was revived, it was given to Mac3030. Mac3030 is was a former member of California and used to own El Paso when No_Jewtsu told him to make it. Of course Mac303 only claimed a few chunks and disappeared from EarthMC until suddenly reappearing from the shadows to reclaim Lompoc. This was a very poor decision from lim_brick and the town of Lompoc faces disbandment. It isn't looking too great for California. On top of that, other decently sized towns fall and other towns that are still barely standing lose members. There could be a possibility of California falling. However, SeedyCharacter plots something that might ruin or help out California. Only time will tell. Till this day, California still attempts to revive Lompoc.

SeedyCharacter (Seedy) plots an action to declare independence from California. In order to preserve No_Jewtsu's California, <u>Seedy renamed California to [[Rough and Ready]]'''.'''</u> After it was renamed, all the former towns of California were kicked. Shortly after, Seedy helped Gawker, the most active player from California, raise enough gold to recreate California. <u>California was then recreated by Gawker</u>. This would then be Gawker's California.

Seedy had grown tired of the other triumvirs' inactivity and their poor decisions. He sought to go out on his own again and start fresh. For this reason, he met with Gawker to create plans for a new era of California under Gawker's rule.

After Seedy kicked the towns from Rough and Ready, they were encouraged to rejoin Gawker's California. Of those kicked, only the active towns have joined back. Rough and Ready refused to be close allies with California for a short time.

The inactive towns were filtered out and disbanded. This gave enough time for Gawker to reorganize the government and improve the status of California. On 1/29/2020, California joins the American Order (NATO). On 2/8/2020, the government reformed into a "council-manager government," but it's really just a Monarchy. The new government style fused with a Mexican-American theme, giving leaders different titles. The king will be known as El Jefe, and the two advisers/cabinet will be known as the Consejos. The Consejos advise every political action El Jeffe does. [[HueyFreeman]] and Ac7ion will be the first Consejos of California.

[[Salish Federation|Salish]] and [[Lakeview]] (as an independent town) declared their independence from Cascadia because of their unstable government. This eventually triggered attacks from BonZZil and other members from or allied with [[Rio |Rio Grande]]. [[Haida]] was also against Washington and eventually sided with Salish. While Lakeview does the same, they do not formally ally with Salish. On 2/29/2020, the Californian government attempts to lead a negotiation with the Rio Grande alliance in an attempt to re-establish a formal border agreement, but were ultimately rejected. With the creation of the Washington town Tecate, located inside of California's border, they saw a reason to support the coalition against Washington as the creation of Tecate was a violation of sovereignty. On 3/1/2020 NATO, which was an alliance that California was apart of, voted 3-1 on declaring war of Rio Grande, which meant that California officially entered the war. California, which contained North California and was linked with Rough and Ready, joined the coalition against Washington with [[Jefferson]] (Lakeview), Salish and Haida. On 3/2/2020, they all formed an alliance called [[The Sunset Confederacy]]. A day after "The Battle of Los Angeles" takes place.

Main article:'' [[Cascadian Civil War]]''

Following California's peaceful exit from the war with [[Rio Grande]], the nation sets an example for the rest of the Sunset Confederacy. Additionally, diplomatic relations with Rio resume as well as national expansion. Over the course of the war, numerous active Californians such as HueyFreeman1 had left the nation or the server entirely. However, in April 2020, progress starts up again with the establishment of many settlements that are new or are upon the ruins of older ones. Lompoc collapses once more and a citizen of Jefferson is brought in to restart the town and claim it in its entirety. California also begins growth in northern Baja California, the Sierra Nevada, and east of the Colorado River. It is also during this time that California departs from the mega-nation known as [[America]] (formerly called the [North] American Union) due to conflict of interest. After intending to enlarge the Californian expanse due to the vice-grips of Rio and Cascadia to the south and north, respectively, Gawker initiates the process of colonial expansion for the first time in California's history. Talks had previously taken place between the nation's leadership and [[Wabanaki]] to acquire [[Comanche]], geographically located in Mexico City, during the war with Rio Grande. At the time, this was seen as a way to make headway over Rio by gaining territory close to the core of their empire. Due to the treaty between Rio and California, however, this was a move that was no longer necessary. Comanche is then re-sold by Gawker to Rio Grande for 1,000 gold.

The sale of Comanche did not dampen the spirit of Californian expansion. Discussions were in place to acquire [[Inca]], a nation owned by [[Prlckly]] which had also been in the American Union and was also once in direct conflict with Rio Grande. This acquisition is made official on May 8, 2020, which grants Inca automatic admission to the Sunset Confederacy. With an empire now spanning 2 continents, the reinvigorated California's priorities were firmly in place. Several days later, [[Nicaragua]] joins California with [[_MIMO_]] at its helm. The nation's economy is also at its most robust state because of the Comanche sale and a handful of businesses cropping up in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Gawker also decides to hold the first state-sanctioned election under his rule, due to popular demand. The vote for the positions of Consejo and Gobernador is to take place on May 24, 2020, and members of all Californian states are eligible to run for office. With this announcement, the new ranking of Provinciano is announced, which is chaired by all province leaders. On May 24th, the new Gobernadors and Consejos are picked and the Provincianos are ranked. LargeAlbert, mayor of Malibu, looks for a replacement owner for his retirement off of EMC. On 6/1/2020, the nation [[Oregon]] is founded with its capital being [[Eureka]]. Oregon joins California as a province as promised. Gawker casts a nation vote on if they should join Lacusmagnia vs. Sibir War (on Lacusmagnia’s side) and the vote passes 10-1 meaning that they would join the war. The purpose of this vote was to improve the combat skills of Californians after the humiliating surrender of the Cascadian Civil War. Around this time Nicaragua switches owners and leaves California as a province.

In mi-August 2020, Gawker reformed the government, destroying the roles of Conesjo and Gobernador and replacing them with El Vicejefe and the Cabinet. Later in August 2020, Gawker was banned for spreading a dox of the server mod DCdylanC. He said that EnglishFrog would serve in his absence as El Jefe until he could return. As of September 2020, Gawker is still not returning and Englishfrog is de facto El Jefe of California, although de jure Gawker is still El Jefe.
