History

2017

In April 15, 2017, The very first La Plata (then called Río de La Plata) in EarthMC history was founded (presumably by SoyGalletita) and its territory was owned by the Spanish Federation, a mega-nation who had one of their states established there.

Curiously, La Plata never reached total independence of Spain in Classic (although it wasn't one of their colonies).

2018

The foundation

On November 15, 2018, the nation La Plata (now independent) was first established in Terranova by SoyGalletita with the capital being Buenos Aires.

2019

War of Nuovo Palermo

Visit main article: Battle of Nuovo Palermo

On January 15, 2019, four users established a town in the Valdes Peninsula, located on the south of La Plata. This town, called Nuovo Palermo, was invited to the nation but they denied the request to join. This response wasn't to the liking of La Plata's authorities as it would mean losing all the southern territory. Following this, citizens of the intruder town were toxic at La Plata and this last fact was the trigger to start a fight for the land.

On January 22, the nation Argentina was founded by Nuovo Palermo's leader, ishallownyou. This meant the first (and only) battle to come next.

On January 23, La Plata executed a well-designed and ambitious plan to attack Nuovo Palermo. However, things didn't work as expected and for when Nuovo Palermo residents went online, La Plata (who brought 10 soldiers) already left the fort. This meant in La Plata fighting while being highly outnumbered (because all of their soldiers went offline for the combat time) and obviously, losing the battle.

After this, both nations came to peace after signing the peace treaty and the territory was succesfully negotiated. Nuovo Palermo would occupy Patagonia, and couldn't make towns further north than the Valdes Peninsula

On March 26th 2019, Argentina fell into ruin after months of inactivity and one month later, the nation currently known as Patagonia occupied its ruins and territory.

Division of La Plata

After the Battle of Nuovo Palermo, on January 29, 2019, La Plata's territory changed. There were IRL towns in Chile which were outside of the range of the nation. A nation called Chile was recently created, so La Plata's leadership purchased the nation. The La Platan towns in Chile were moved to the new nation

La Plata would now only occupy middle and northern Argentina, Uruguay and a part of Bolivia.
The southernmost part would be controlled by the nation Patagonia (ishallownyou) (now a deceased nation).
The Western area would be managed by the nation Chile.

Guashimingo Incident

Guashimingo was an Uruguayan user that made a town off the coast of Buenos Aires. The town was called Pirates, and the ruins are still there. Near the end of February, the town was invited to La Plata, and he accepted. However, Guashimingo soon started scamming people. At the beginning, the La Platan users defended him because they didn't know what happened. This made La Platan citizens fight with users scammed by Guashimingo, and other users that defended the scammed ones. Nbax, the leader of Ecuador at the time, was one of the users that attacked Guashimingo. This effectively caused a series of skirmishes between the nations. After some time, La Plata kicked Pirates out for scamming and stopped the war.

Name change to Argentina

On March 26th, 2019, La Plata changed its name to Argentina, after the name got free because Argentina fell beinto ruin. In this date, La Plata passed to be known not as the nation but the mega-nation formed between Argentina and Chile.

Argentina's inactivity

The leader of Argentina, SoyGalletita, had been inactive for a very long time. This made it hard to be a town in the in-game nation of Argentina, because there are some Towny actions that only the king can do. During July, Some Argentinian towns such as Cordoba started switching over to Chile, because Chile had an active king.

Santa Fe

Santa Fe was a nation created without permission inside the territory of Argentina, also taking one of its towns: Rosario. After a while, it was bought by La Plata and renamed to "Nueva Argentina", which means "New Argentina". New Argentina was used to host the Argentinian towns that had moved to Chile.

However, Argentina's king then became active again and towns now started moving to the "real" Argentina. By Feb 2020, New Argentina was not useful anymore, so it was handed over to FranchuFranchu, its capital was moved to SantaCruz_Sierra and renamed to Guarani. Guarani would later be renamed to Paraguay, which is still a part of La Plata.

2020

Reconquest of Malvinas

Visit main article: Second Falklands-Malvinas War

On June 30, 2020, Argentina attempted to recover the abandoned territory in the Falkland Islands (which was entirely owned by the nation during 2019) establishing a town called Malvinas (now Malvinas_Oeste) after rumors of a new nation being made there. This quick movement resulted in the second Malvinas War between Argentina and the foreign town BritishFalklands, owned by Joel02.

On July 8, after one battle, Argentina declared decisive victory due to the purchase of British Falklands for 200G. This meant the first success of the whole La Plata in wars, as previous conflicts of this size were all defeats.

2021

Incorporation of Uruguay and alliance with Spain

Visit main article: Spain#Uruguayan crisis

Starting in January, 32Pengun, the King of Spain offered selling Uruguay (which was a viceroyalty of Spain) to La Plata. After months of deliberation, both parties agreed to the following deal in March 23: Uruguay would be given to one of the La Platan citizens (Nachitz), and La Plata would be allied with Spain by being a viceroyalty. La Plata would still keep its autonomy and would still be self-governing.

Conquest of Inca

On April 14th, Melun, the capital of Inca was about to fall. Lima joined the nation (which was open) just before it fell, so when Melun fell, the capital moved to Lima, which meant that the chofo70, the mayor of Lima, was the new king. chofo70 was a member of La Plata, so Inca was now controlled by it.

Purchase of Colombia

In late March 2021, the nation of Colombia was up for sale. UnCry wanted to buy the nation for Spain with the promise of being a viceroy. The idea was met with skepticism but at the end UnCry bought the nation. However, Colombia was part of Spain but not of La Plata yet. Colombia was then accepted into Spain. Due to various reasons and internal conflicts, UnCry decided to sell the nation to SANTMAN (a La Platan citizen) for 1100g. This meant that Colombia was now controlled by La Plata, effectively making it part of the union.

Army

Ejército Platense

The Platan Army (Ejército Platense) is the biggest army in La Plata, it currently counts with 10 permanent soldiers but any citizen can participate in conflicts as it's mostly necessary when one happens.

Organization

The original leader of La Plata was SoyGalletita. However, since he became inactive, there is no clear leader of the meganation. The nation is now mainly run by a "Parliament" and a "Congress".

• The Congress is composed of all town mayors and all Parliament members.
• The Parliament is composed of players that are considered trustable. Parliament members are decided by Parliament consensus. As of April 2021, there are 19 Parliament members:
  • SoyGalletita
  • 5 kings of in-game nations
  • 7 High Chancellors
  • 3 Low Chancellors
  • 3 Close allies
