| <blockquote>"Prior to even setting foot on EarthMC, Luke883 (who will be referred to as "Luke" for the sake of simplicity) had quite a long history with towny servers. The first towny server he ever joined was called KingdomCraft, which he joined in December of 2012. The experience he had in his years of playing on this server can fill an entire book on its own, but the main highlight of his time on this server was that he created his first ever town. Titled "Cascades", the town was situated on a snowy mountain range, surrounded by jungles and plains. This town reached a peak of an estimated 60 residents, until the server itself died in 2014 due to inactivity and lack of funds. For a while, Luke's towny ambitions were crushed, as all his hard work had gone to nothing. However, in the winter of 2016, Luke found himself on another towny server called RebirthCraft. There, he managed to established a new and more organized town, titled "New Cascades", a tribute to his old town on KingdomCraft. That town reached a peak of 50 residents, but died out sometime in the summer of 2016 due to unknown reasons. It wasn't until January 1st of 2017 where Luke discovered the EarthMC served, which is where our story begins" -Luke883</blockquote>

| <blockquote>" Luke first joined EarthMC on January 1st of 2017. The first town he joined was Macon_GA (now known as Georgia) , which was (at the time) the most populated and most powerful town of the entire server (being the former capitals of PWW). He set up shop in this town and lived there for some time, before deciding that he wanted to establish a town of his own. After gathering enough gold, he traveled to Iowa to create his town. Iowa was the location that he chose due to its strategic location near two major rivers and because of its vast, flat prairies. He set up shop, built the town spawn plot that is still used to this day, and soon, things took off from there." -Luke883</blockquote>

| <blockquote>"America's early days were marked by slow and steady growth. After roughly 3 days since the town's formation, America finally received its first resident: Joeman. Aside from being our first resident, Joeman's other contributions to the town were long-lasting. His most notable contribution to the town is visible to this day. He was the one who built the walls that wrap around our city. Thanks to his work, our city has a sturdy line of defense to protect us from outside threats. Our town grew steadily from that point forward." -Luke883</blockquote>

| <blockquote>"After about 10 days since its formation, Mayor Luke made a choice that would change the course of American history forever. Luke received an offer to have America join a nation called the United States. The capital of this nation was in a city called California, and its leader was a player named GuardedCharlie. With seemingly no where else to go, Luke decided to join the United States. For the first 2 weeks or so of America being a part of the US, all seemed to be going well. Charlie would occasionally provide us with much needed resources, such as gold and building materials. He even built the town bar which still exists to this day. It was during this time when Luke met Phantom1815, another mayor of a US town in SE Europe.</blockquote>

| | As time progressed, both Luke and Phantom grew concerned over Charlie's methods of governing. Charlie would often make promises that he would never keep, such as how he assured us that he would build massive skyscrapers in our towns and would one day find a way to provide us with endless gold. Most concerning however was his attitude towards the most powerful nation in the server, the PWW (the very nation we are in now). He always had a hostile attitude towards PWW, and on multiple occasions publicly denounced them and called them an enemy. In response to these concerns, Phantom and Luke wrote a constitution that they believed would right most of the wrongs they saw in the nation. The constitution they wrote was however never implemented. |

| America was spared the worst of the storm of Praxis. No major griefs of the town occured, and the worst fears of the residents never came to light. In fact, America achieved its first "Golden Era", when approximately half of the listed population of the town was online at the same time. Even so, America was on a constant war footing in case the worst should happen. | | America was spared the worst of the storm of Praxis.
