About Denmark
Denmark is a nation located in Scandinavia on EarthMC. The nation is ruled by alek_b, a respectable Veteran who is known for being the McMMO lord of EMC.
The nation was founded on the 6th November 2018, and has been known for its god-armor shop, called “Denmarket”
Early History
Denmark was founded by a council of five players, consisting of alek_b, Expadax, 4noah18, doriendragon, and Wildcat_Pvpz (with more joining later). This group was called The Copenhagen Council. Four out of the five, excluding Wildcat_Pvpz, were long time players of Classic EarthMC, and had excessive experience in most fields. The nation had been planned for Terranova months in advance.
There was another group of players who also intended on creating a nation in Denmark. The council made a decision to join the alternate group, which planned to select Odense as the capital, while making 2014delta king. The council merged with two new players from the other group, Fen_b and Dannie_b.
Denmark's capital and first town, Copenhagen, was created on the first day of Terra Nova's release, by 4noah18 and Wildcat_Pvpz. Ownership of the town was later transferred to alek_b shortly after.
After the release of Terra Nova, 2014delta turned out to be an inactive player, which made his chancellor, fen_b, support alek_b for the throne. Heavy internal discussions followed and the nationless danish citizens chose alek_b as their new king. The Danish nation was created on the 6th November, being the first nation in Scandinavia.
The Copenhagen Council eventually gained seven members, where it stood in early 2019. The members were alek_b, Expadax, 4noah18, dorien_b, dannie_b, Wildcat_Pvpz, and fen_b.
History
Swedish-Danish Conflict
Denmark, had claimed a part of Scania with it's capital, Copenhagen. The town of Malmoe and Sweden did not like this, and this sparked conflict over it. Then Malmoe proceeded to claimblock, which was reported after and removed. Both nations had sour relations for a long time because of this, and they never recovered to date. Unknown if any battles occured due to this, however, multiple times in the Danish discord it was mentioned "i killed a swede" or "Wanna go kill swedes?".
Rebels and Heide
In January 2019, the town of Heide requested home rule and some autonomy for western Denmark (Jutland/Jylland). The talks continued for a while, and eventually they somewhat agreed. The town of Thisted, was growing very fast, it hit 21 residents and grew quickly. The town's mayor, Boris_Johnson, eventually decided to rebel (presumably out of boredom). After this, the mayor started to kill all his residents, and looted all of them. However, two Loyalists in the town started to fight back, called for British help. This started the Battle of Thisted, which, after occuring, secured a loyalist victory.
War with Kaiserreich
On the 20th March 2019, fen_b created the town of Hamburg and expanded it rapidly. It was made to strengthen Denmark's grip on the Holstein region, which wasn't appreciated by Kaiserreich. War was declared by both sides, and continued on for a week, until both sides agreed to a treaty. The Treaty of Kiel.
The war was seen as a success in Denmark.
War of The coalition of Four Nations
In late march, the town of Bornholm, a rightfully danish town, joined the nation of Intermarium. Many other polish towns followed. In response, Denmark declared war, and created a coalition. Many nations joined, and many plans were made. Intermarium however, had a very inactive playerbase. All raids usually ended up with the intermarium citizens camping in claims.
During this time, Poland was getting weaker and weaker because people betrayed it by joining Intermarium. Because of that, the nation was sold to Denmark.
Denmark had won two decisive battles, Battle of Wroclaw, and Siege of Wroclaw.
The war ended on the 8th April 2019, after a chancellor in Intermarium (dymoslaw) kicked all the towns out of the nation.
War with Poland
The war has begun when the polish king POGKPP violated the agreements with danish king alek_b about the borders of his nation inviting majority of polish while the agreement including the "allowed sphere" where the nation of Poland could invite towns. Every single sign of conflict such as battles etc. has ended with dominant victory of danish side, poles during the war mainly limited themselves to sit in claims and going out of them for 10~ seconds in order to hit the enemy soldier.
Denmark had two decisive battles that they won, Siege of Tarnopol, and Battle of Mazovia. These two battles affirmed Denmarks position as the dominant military power, and these battles greatly decreased Polands power and influence.
In the end, Denmark got a de facto victory, as it dominated all battles and managed to decrease Poland's influence for the long run.
The hibernation of Denmark (April 2019 to September 2020)
With the weakening forces of Poland and Intermarium pushing them to claim hide all the time including slow decline of Europe, all of the Danish government decided on moving to Japan, some of them created a new town on island of Shikoku called Shikara, and 2, Snowyy and fen moved on creating the new capital of Imperial_Japan.
The Return of Denmark
After most members went on a nearly 1.5 year hiatus, they came back. alek_b, Expadax, Wildcat_Pvpz, and 4noah18 became active again. This also sparked the Danish unification. German cabinet member and past king of Dania 32Lego decided to make Kongsmark join Denmark, and got the past Dania members; Esbjerg and Thisted to follow. Odense was made and also joined. Dybbol was bought and also joined. Alaburg and Hamburg are planned to be taken soon, once everything stabilizes.
"Denmark-Norway"
After most of the mainland Danish towns were claimed, Oslo joined Denmark, as it had previously planned to. After this, Asgardia, Bergen and Kristiansand also joined, coining the term Denmark-Norway, referring to the country with the same name that once existed in real life, however this is only temporary, and the Norwegian towns plan to make their own nation soon.
Expansion into Sweden and Germany
While Sweden went inactive, Denmark ceased the oppurtunity and took Gothenburg. Not much response was there after this. One and a half weeks later, Tyskland was created in a large unclaimed part of Germany, between Berlin and Hamburg. There was immediate response by _Sidon_, Germany Kronprins. After this he asked why Denmark planted a town, and tensions are currently rising. During these tensions, Denmark captured another town in german territory, however this town was in France. The town is Wismar, located just south of Copenhagen.
Conflict with Malmo
The town of Malmo, led by Kornienko, suddenly claimed much of the southern Copenhagen harbour in mid October 2020. After this, a request was sent by Copenhagen to remove these chunks, the request was refused. A while after claiming these chunks, Kornienko built multiple boats in them, much to the dismay of Danish Citizens. After this, Maple_d sent a request, and was hit with a toxic reply. This stopped all contact between the towns, and they decided to wait it out. However, in late November 2020, Maple_d set out on another diplomatic mission, discussing a possible border and agreement with Malmo. Multiple borders were discussed, but to no avail. After this, Malmo proposed to take 150g for the 22 claimblock chunks. This proposal was refused, and Denmark decided to wait it out once more. After this, Maple_d met Kornienko in game, and got his outlaw status removed as a sign of peace. However, it was seen that the entrance in the gate between Malmo and Copenhagen was opened, and right behind this was a long pit with certain death if you fell down it. It is unclear whether Malmo intended this as a trap, however it is currently thought so, and the two towns continue sour relations.
Second Holstein War
Germany, as soon as Denmark was revived, has been in constant conflict with it. Both the towns laid claims over Hamburg, a once Danish town. Denmark and Germany both joked and insulted each other, without any pvp taking place. Denmark even established two towns in German territory, as a sign that Denmark controls Holstein region. These two towns were Tyskland and Wismar. The capture of these regions didn't bring much response from Germany. However on November 23rd, Germany retaliated with the town of Horsens, in the centre of Denmark. This town started conflict, also starting a small skirmish at Horsens with no deaths. The tensions continue to rise, as both sides continue to progress to attack each other. After this skirmish, Denmark officially declared war on Germany, however as in war, it was more of Denmark allowing any citizen to kill any German. After the announcement, a skirmish started at Copenhagen, which resulted in 0 deaths.
Slowdown
After the two skirmishes, no more took place. Germany was too claimed for any battles to take place, as no one was willing to leave their claims. However hostilities increases with Malmo, and soldiers began to, on a daily basis, invade and try to kill Malmo and its mayor.

Population boom
Starting on December 7th, 2020, the nation started to have a drastic increase in population. This was due to the town of Slesvig massively recruiting members. Tyskland and Thisted got 7 of their own. One of Tyskland's residents went on to make a town in Sweden, Lodose. This further strengthened Denmarks grip over the disputed region. The town of Slesvig went on to recruit over 20 players, with the help of Maple_d. They got some active players from this, and the town went from /n list 6, to /n list 3. The nation has many active players now, and has a 140 chunk bonus with 60 population.
Holstein Advances
After this, the town of 'Frankmark' felt that Germany was dead, and wanted to join Denmark, after observing its recent activity and huge boost in population. This was also considered a great progress in The Second Holstein War, putting Denmark one step closer to gaining the lands of (Greater) Holstein.
Daily Recruiting
After hitting 60, the nation aimed for 100. Everyday, the naton gained around 10-15 players. And then the nation reach /n list 2, and passed its rival nation of Germany.
Conflict with Sweden
The nation of Sweden, had recently been revived in activity. THe nation planned to own all of Sweden, but due to Denmark owning most of it, they attempted a border agreement. After reaching none, they said they will plant towns in Danish Sweden, with Denmark saying they will plant more in Sweden. After this, Denmark planted 2 towns, with Sweden planting 1.
Treaty of Copenhagen
After said situation occured, the nations agreed to work on a treaty for the betterment of Scandinavia. Britain was also invlovled, due to holding territory in Scandinavia as well. In the end, Sweden got to keep its current territories, holding two exclaves in Danish territory, with Denmark holding two exclaves in Swedish Territory. All unclaimed land in Scandinavia went to Denmark, meaning this treaty was mostly a gain for Denmark in the end.

Infrastructure
The nation of Denmark, due to having a small area of land, is generally walkable. Everytown is within 5-10 minutes of walking, and so the need of ice lines isn't required. The town of Bornholm, due to being a bit farther, is only accesible through boat. Using a boat will take you 5 minutes to get to Bornholm, however an ice road is planned to further reduce this time.
Geography
The land of Denmark, is relatively flat. The nation is home to flat plains, with a few scattered hills. It is all grass, with no sign of sand or snow. The largest "mountains", are situated in Dybbol, with a hiehgt of 6-8 blocks. Before the terraforming of Copenhagen, the town had a hill which had a height of around 12-14 blocks.
Due to being flat, towns have an easy time building, however this also restricts certain builds that are for hills and snow.
Notable People
alek_b
The Mayor of Copenhagen and King of Denmark. Known for his patience in grinding McMMO levels. He is the first person to make a Haste 2 potion on Terra Nova and he has the 2nd place on /mctop.
Snowyyy_b
A well known member in the nation, also well known for his skills in pvp. He is also a chancellor in the nation and friends with all the _b's.
Wildcat_Pvpz
Although not as old as the other original members of the nation. Wildcat_Pvpz has been the mastermind behind a lot of the planning within Copenhagen and when it comes to buildings and structures, he is the man. He has been behind creating many of the buildings, along the assistance of 4noah18, within the town itself.
Expadax
Little is known about this member, his personality and how he got to be a Councilor. Some rumors say "Everything is planned and though about by himself, as he's a living machine that leaves nothing by chance". A wild card in Copenhagen's team that has the same willpower as alek_b about grinding, and the same stubborness as 4noah18 about people that aren't related. If he doesn't know you, don't take it personal that he doesn't trust you not even a bit.
