Twomoo1119 had initially joined the server upon the request of an online friend, CasualNuker, with whom he had played on another towny server that had died. The plan was to set up a Wakandan nation with El Obeid to be a desert fortress and another town, located around modern-day Illicit, to become the capital. Getting to the site where El Obeid was located in January of 2019 was rather difficult. Lower Egypt only had several towns and Upper Egypt had none. There were no ice roads or canals crossing the Sahara either. For a relatively poor citizen who had to scavenge for their own food, the Sahara posed a rather frightening obstacle. Luckily for twomoo1119, and Skyocity, another online friend who had joined him, some kind Judean bestowed upon them 32 loaves of bread. Upon reaching the Sahel, bounds of melons were discovered and the food situation was no longer a major concern. A temporary mine and underground base were constructed slightly north of modern day Wad Madani in order to afford a town.

On February 16th 2019, the nation of Sudan was founded. Sudan quickly attempted to secure its holdings by creating several towns towards its west, none of which lasted very long. An Nahud was the biggest of these with its ruins still visible today a bit west of El Obeid. Twomoo1119 quickly got to work dissolving the AU’s democracy and inserting himself, along with the leaders of Oyo and Numidia as the Oligarchs of the AU. With the creation of Kebri Dehar, Sudan attempted to secure its control over Ethiopia and its Terracotta deposits however ran into disputes of the region with both Somalia, another African Union nation which formed around March 5th 2019 as well as the town of Tsana, which would later become the capital of [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] on March 18th 2019. Due to concerns over Somalia’s aggressively expansionist nature, Sudan backed the town of Nairobi in a slight border dispute. This escalated the issue far beyond what it needed to be however did put a stop to Somalia’s expansion in the region; despite this, Sudan did back down from the conflict. In addition, during this time, Sudan fought the town of Yap during the Siege of Nairobi, the first victory won by an entirely Sudanese force. Sudan then entered into a brief conflict with [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] which came out victorious managing to officially maintain control of its terracotta deposits. Following this conflict, many AU member states began to go inactive including Oyo, while Numidia joined the GRE. Both [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] and [[Somalia (Former)|Somalia]] began to shrink and Sudan was left as the dominant power in the region. Following this, Sudan turned inwards and began to focus on improving the capital, El Obeid, before twomoo1119’s temporary 3 week absence.

Upon return from his summer vacation, twomoo1119 returned to find a mostly inactive and dead Sudan. In order to help revive the nation and also symbolically cast off the French, the nation was renamed to Nubia. In addition, El Obeid saw increased recruiting in order to produce more potential mayors to revive the nation. In addition, a colony was founded in Antarctica. Although it saw little success, it did become the source for the vast majority of Nubia’s ice during the creation of many of its ice roads. Due to all the recruiting, a vast amount of gold began to flow into Nubia’s banks allowing El Obeid to expand further as well as large savings to be accumulated. During this time, Nubia applied to join the GRE but was rejected due to its poor relations with France. <time>(edited)</time>

=== Conflicts with Ancient Egypt ===
=== Conflicts with Ancient Egypt ===
Hostility towards Ancient Egypt began after Ancient Egypt stole the town of Le Caire from Nubia, a town that was in Nubian territory. Upon a meeting to talk about it, louisdek killed twomoo1119 during a lag spike. This resulted in Nubia declaring war on the town of Osiris and later, once making their own nation, Ancient Egypt as a whole. Upon entry into the GRE, Nubia attempted to settle the conflict with a simple peace treaty, however, due to louisdek’s violation of the majority of the terms in the treaty by the next morning, Nubia went back to war with Ancient Egypt. After this, there was a sharp spike in action for about a week. Since then the conflict has mostly died down with both sides remaining extremely hostile. Minor skirmishes have continued however Nubia has turned its focus elsewhere.

Around the beginning of December, Nubia applied for a second time into the GRE, after being rejected due to concerns over their relations with France. This time, Nubia was accepted. Following the January 2020 elections, Nubia was found to have made their mayors vote in a certain way, resulting in twomoo1119 becoming one of the Praetors, despite receiving very few high ranked votes from outside of Nubia as well as Noahser becoming Magister Militium. These actions have been quite controversial and condemned by other members of the GRE, particularly Persia.

==== The Loss of Nubian Central Africa. ====
On the 29<sup>th</sup> of February, 2020, the nations of Nyasa, and their subjects, Congo and Kalahari exited the Nubian Empire. Due to the heavy ties between the communities, this greatly demoralized the rest of the population - especially Emperor twomoo1119 who had become extremely pessimistic about the Empire's future and turned to an isolationist approach to attempt to hold the empire together. While this initial succession may have been a small issue, other issues facing the empire quickly began to rise to the surface.

Alongside funding, several political questions divided the empire. The establishment of a democratic system had been in the works for over a month however the older, and more conservative members of the Nubian community still preferred the monarchy that had existed for over a year. Furthermore, a corruption scandal involving twomoo1119 in the March Elections in the Greater Roman Empire served to reduce the popularity of the Emperor, especially with the newer players. The poor timing of both events meant that twomoo1119's popularity with the entire Nubian population had greatly diminished. The quickly enacted reforms by twomoo1119 following the succession of Nyasa had failed to prove popular with many of the Nubian elite and several important figures left the nation following their enactment.

==== Disloyal Colonies ====
Many African nations had taken advantage of the opportunity to rid themselves of Nubian Influence and Nubia's remaining colonies were questionably loyal. It was widely believed that Yemen, which was already by far the most autonomous of Nubia's colonies would take the opportunity to declare full independence if immediate action was not taken. Furthermore, a replacement was required for the leader of the Gold Coast; a loyal and active member capable of leading the colony was however, difficult to find.

On the 4<sup>th </sup>of March, 2020, the town of Mersa, one of the three metropolises in the nation, joined the Yemeni empire in protest of Emperor twomoo1119's reforms as well as the corruption scandal. Colloquially referred to as "Mexit," (as a play on the real life ongoing event of Brexit) this event shattered what little confidence remained in the Nubian government, and the people of Nubia.

On the 5<sup>th</sup> of March, 2020, twomoo1119 handed over the town of El Obeid and the nation of Nubia to Raining_Oranges, Sultan of the Yemeni Empire. This was done as a last ditch attempt to preserve Nubia's colonial empire as Yemen had not yet cast Nubia off.
