'''Nubia''' is a large nation located in Eastern Africa, south of the Egyptian region. It's capital is El Obeid, and is one of the largest nations in the server. The nation was founded on February 16th, 2019, and is ruled by the Emperor, [[twomoo1119]].  

This is the highly urbanised region around El Obeid and includes the land surrounding lake Nuba, south towards the 'Sudd Swamp', east towards the ruins of An Nahud and North towards Ed Damer. It contains a large portion of the population of Nubia. This area previously included [[Kraftier]], one of Nubia's larger cities before they left and were [[The Kraftier Raid|insided by Nubia]].

The Nubian economy is currently quite small. There are currently no significant international shops within Nubia, however, a few small shops exist in towns to serve the local populous. Many goods are bought and sold from the government to generate revenue. The real estate industry within El Obeid and several other cities provide much of the income for the nation. In addition, Nubia's extensive infrastructure network gives it a unique advantage in the animal trade compared to other towns in the region with most deliveries coming out of Ed Damer. Sand mining operation and concrete production continue to be a profitable and stable industry within Nubia however Illegal sand mining are just as much of a threat to Nubia as it is to any other nation. Much of the funding for the expansion of Nubian towns comes from the national bank which gives the nation additional leverage over its towns. Despite its relatively stable economy, Nubia fails to attract many wealthy investors in the region and has less claims than any other nation in the top 10 most populous nations.

[[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.

El Obeid began to rapidly expand within its first couple of weeks, seeking as much aid as possible from France and also becoming a colony of Austria Hungary to gain more aid. After a couple of weeks, El Obeid began to pursue its own nation after it became apparent that Wakanda would not work out well. Unfortunately, nation prices rose from 512 to 1024 during this period making the task much more difficult to accomplish. During this time, El Obeid joined the African Union and also joined and left the nation of Yemen a couple of times.

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 [[African Union|AU]]’s democracy and inserting himself, along with the leaders of [[Oyo]] and [[Numidia]] as the Oligarchs of the [[African Union|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, [[Molodezhnaya (Nubian Antarctic)|Molodezhnaya]] (then named Nubian Antarctic). 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>

Due to all the gold that began to build up in Nubia, as well as the new potential mayors that Nubia saw, Nubia began to see a sudden growth beginning around late October. Several suburbs were established around El Obeid allowing the area to become highly developed. While Nubia flourished, the central bank did not. Several projects, such as the Palace and the Red Nile expansion began to eat away at it while grants for the expansion of Nubian towns began to slowly increase. In addition, income from recruiting began to slowly decrease. During this period, Kabashi, the second-largest, and the formerly loyal town left without explanation and became very hostile towards Nubia. The Nubian Renaissance came to a close around the purchasing of [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]]. All Ethiopian towns were then integrated into Nubia and the nation was moved south to lake Nyasa, in hopes that it would become a colony. Although this was great for expansion, it put a rather heavy strain on the central bank and forced a temporary cessation of grants for the expansion of towns. This resulted in a slowing of growth of many Nubian towns and thus, the end of the Nubian Renaissance. Regardless, this purchase marks the beginning of the First Nubian Empire.

Due to strained finances and weakening activity, Nubia entered a period of decreased activity from late December to mid January. During this time, Nubia sought to expand diplomatically and politically as opposed to the funding of new towns in order to keep costs low. In early January, Nubia came into conflict with Victorian Congo over a border dispute. Tensions have mostly died down however the borders remain somewhat unclear. Throughout January, Nubia had begun to lay the groundwork to recruit more active players. The remarkable success of Saint Allison alongside the required increase in recruitment in El Obeid led to an increase in the number of active players as well as the number of towns in Nubia.

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

Shortly after receiving Nubia, Raining_Oranges installed VladimirVI as the next Emperor. Little focus was put on recruiting under VladimirVI and a new, unused shopping district was constructed in El Obeid. Due to a significant decline in population in both El Obeid and [[St. Allison]], [[Mersa]] became an influential power holder in the region and Nubia relied on it for most of its recruiting and population, with the one town holding about 60% of the national population. Under VladimirVI, Nubia was re-branded as a Caliphate and many of the former elite were moved into lower ranking positions while newer members considered loyal and friends to VladimirVI quickly rose to the highest ranks in Nubia. VladimirVI quickly became extremely unpopular and [[Mersa]] left Nubia again; VladimirVI abdicated shortly after.

Zovely did little in the way of anything and handed off they keys of power to [[57gorky|gorkymoo119]] and the town of [[Mersa]]. While Nubia was technically ruled from El Obeid by Zovely, this  

Nubia supports a large amount of infrastructure relative to its size, especially for those traveling North or South. The Great Rift Works were completed as of the middle of August allowing travelers to boat directly from Alexandria, through El Obeid, to Mozambique via a series of lakes, rivers, and newly constructed canals. As of late August, ice roads were constructed to connect Slime City, Malakal, Al Golem and Ellesmera to El Obeid as well as a direct connection from El Obeid to Corsica, and the Wider Americo-European ice road network. Nubia's ice network extends into Ethiopia and deep into Central Africa as well.
