Kalmar: Difference between revisions

The town of Kalmar was mostly of a residential town for new residents, and its foundation was laid by Oiad after the town was first founded. Currently, it is the largest of the three towns and has major infrastructure such as Kalmar Nordstasjon and Kalmar Centralstasjon, as well as the 'Karlskrona Pass'. The town hence forms the backbone of the three united towns.

==== '''Karlskrona''' ====

Karlskrona is the smallest of the three towns due to its recent incorporation into the union, however, major infrastructural projects have been started to involve Karlskrona as of writing on the 21st of June 2020, such as Karlskrona Vestasjon and the repairing of the Karlskrona Havn.  

'''Borgholm'''

== History ==

Kalmar was founded on the 9th of January 2019 by Oiad, who was the main architect of the foundations of present-day Kalmar. The town was funded by Casper_2001, and thus Kalmar was initially under Norrland before it fell under the domination of Norway.

The rise of Kalmar also saw the construction of several buildings still found in Kalmar today, such as the inns and the main gate to Borgholm Castle.

After 42 days of inactivity, Kalmar officially fell on the 4th of February 2020, ending the 392 days administration of Kalmar under Oiad. It is uncertain the exact timing of the fall of Kalmar, but it is estimated to be around 6.55 pm UTC, after which many from around EMC rushed to pillage the town of Kalmar, robbing it of all its valuable resources like diamonds and emeralds from the old storage depository (currently destroyed) while looting priceless artefacts from Kalmar. In addition, many of Kalmar’s buildings were vandalised and certain portions are torn down. Important buildings that suffered substantial damage include the inns found in the town centre, the Cathedral (Currently known as Katedralen av Kalmar), Borgholm Castle and its facilities (Currently known as Borgholm Slott), the towers of Kalmar (Currently known as Kalmar Museet) and the old residential street. Pillagers appeared shortly after the fall of Kalmar, primarily originating from Britain, who used the spawn in the nearby capital of the Kalmar Union (Currently known as Sweden), Nya Asgard as its break-out point.

It should be noted that hours after the fall of Kalmar, people still came in search of precious items and the town's antiquities.

Hours after Kalmar fell, Dalalius, the then-mayor of the town of Gävle, decided to leave his post to bring the town of Kalmar back into existence. With the aid of a few individuals, notably AnAverageSam, Utforskarmannen and Bene1479, Kalmar was brought back into existence now under the rule of the Kalmar Union (which has been renamed to Sweden). The town of Kalmar was badly pillaged, bone blocks were picked from their place in the inns, books and enchantment table were taken from Borgholm Castle and Nugget64 (Currently demolished), while priceless artefacts were stolen from their place in the depths of the Tower of Kalmar and the Kalmarian Cathedral. The town of Kalmar would like to thank a few individuals for their contributions and donations to the town of Kalmar. In its rebirth, Kalmar was given 150G by Utforskarmannen and 32G by AnAverageSam, which was poured into claiming territories once under the town of Kalmar.

Due to the looting of many of Kalmar’s previous artefacts when the town fell, the current administration decided to name a few more items as sacred to Kalmar’s history, which was lost when the town fell and the looting began. Several of these items include the Kalmarian Armour Pieces (Previously owned by Rainbowhorsecake, a scout for the town of Kalmar), the Sword and Shield of Kalmar (Previously owned by Oiad), the Restored Kalmarian Leather (symbolising the town’s past as an animal metropolis), the Kalmarian Gold and the Books of Kalmar (Previously owned by Dalalius). These items can be found on the first level of the Kalmar Museet in Borgholm Slott.

== Internal Government System ==

The rebirth of Kalmar required the reworkings of the previous weaknesses of governing of the previous administration. Although good, flaws certainly do exist. From the 20th of February 2020, the town of Kalmar and Borgholm has decided to change its governing system from a semi-benevolent dictatorship to an electoral-appointed oligarchy.

The Council of Four forms the backbone of the representation of Kalmar both internally (nationally) and externally (internationally). The Council of Four, which includes the mayor of the town and three other residents. All members of the council hold equal voting and vetoing power.

* The Council of Four is an Oligarchy largely influenced by Democratic values, where the mayor is a permanent member of the council of four, while the other three members are elected to power by residents of the town of Kalmar.

* The Council of Four holds dictatorial power only over the internal wealth of the town, which does not include valuable possessions of the people of Kalmar, and the building rights of the town.

* The Mayor in the Council of Four is the representative of the Council and the people, in national events like elections or sessions. However, the Mayor has to truthfully convey the wishes of the people and not those of his/her own.
