| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ethiopia, officially the Free Kingdom of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country in the Horn of Africa. It shares borders with Nubia and Djibouti to the north and Somalia to the east. Ethiopia has a total area of 377 chunks with four towns. The national capital and largest city is Addis Ababa.
Geography
The major portion of Ethiopia lies in the Horn of Africa, which is the easternmost part of the African landmass. Ethiopia is an ecologically diverse country, ranging from the deserts along the eastern border to the rolling moutain ranges in central Ethiopia. The national capital and largest city, Addis Ababa, is located between several rolling moutain ranges.
Economy
Ethiopia's current economy has recently collapsed following the downfall of the nation, with mutiple stores including Ethiopian Potions (The largest government owned shop) shutting its doors. Before the recent events, sand/terracotta mining created a small portion of government income; the rest of the nation's income is from the Ethiopian Potion Brewery and mining for gold. Ethiopia also has an area known as "Australiatown". All shop-owners in the area are from the in-game nation of Australia. Australiatown occurred after the signing of the Emu-Point treaty, which caused Ethiopia - Australia to split. This initiative help fix and strengthen Ethiopian - Australian relations.
History
Prefounding
Recruit4Days had initially joined the server upon the request of a friend, JackJackson, who had played on another Minecraft server that had died. The plan was to set up Ethiopia and create a colony in Italy as a joke. However, once the town members learned about the politics of EarthMC, the group quickly dropped the idea. Many notable members would join during this time to help create a town, including; JackJackson, John_of_Aus and LittleHeroJX.
Creation of Addis Ababa
A day after the group joined the server (19/09/2019), Addis Ababa was created, established on the ruins of the former Addis Ababa. Recurit4Days, who was elected leader and mayor of the town, designated an area known as Central Addis Ababa in the centre of the settlement, which was prioritised when claiming new chunks. The prioritisation of the area quickly helped the precinct recover from the rubbles of her previous state.
The Griefing of Addis Ababa
Two days after the creation of Addis Ababa, JackJackson and Recruit4Days were approached by Twomoo1119 asking if they would want to join Nubia. Recruit4Days would refuse, saying that "he wanted to go on his own path". After the refusal to join Nubia, Addis Ababa suffered many raids from her neighbour. Many houses were stripped of their wood, and lava poured on multiple buildings, including the town church.
These raids led to the rise of anti-Nubia sentiment among the citizens. This also has been seen as the start of the Ethiopia - Nubia conflict.
Expansion and fall
Claimed within a week of its creation, Central Addis Ababa quickly became the heart of the town, with all the buildings being restored to their pre-griefed state. In addition, a new district was created called "West Addis Ababa", mainly referred to as Western Addis, a parody of Western Sydney due to their likeness as "slums". The town would create many notable buildings in this period, including the town gate, the Lion of Judah statue, and the Ricardo Milos statue.
After the initial two weeks of rapid expansion, the town began to go inactive. Recruit4Days eventually stepped down as leader and appointed JackJackson as the new leader of the city.
Nubian Addis Ababa
The new leadership saw a significant spike in activity with Triangle_Square_ and John_of_Aus returning to the server. The town would grow to 17 residents and see a southern residential district be established. To protect this growth, Addis Ababa reluctantly joined the Nubia nation to help the town's development and prevent the city from being raided. As a result, Addis Ababa would peek at 26 residents and create a new ice line to connect the city to the rest of Nubia.
Politically, Addis Ababa also grew. JackJackson quickly became established in the Nubian community alongside the town residents by helping Nubia in battles and projects. JackJackson left the town a few months later after being accepted as the King of Nyasa. Triangle_Square_ assumed the role of leadership and mayor but would do very little for the town, going inactive.
Creation of Ethiopia
Fall of the First Nubian Empire
During the month of February, Nubia fell into a time of turmoil, with the First Nubian Empire eventually collapsing due to the Southern Rebellion and the loss Mersa. And as a result of public outcry, Twowmoo stepped down as leader of Nubia, with the Yemeni VladimirV becoming the new Emperor.
After the Southern Rebellion, Addis Ababa found herself in a difficult place with her former members. JackJackson, John_of_Aus and LittleHeroJX were activity fighting against her nation of Yemeni Nubia and as a result, Addis Ababa was sidelined during the Yemeni Nubia period, with Mersa being handed the status of capital of the Nubian Ethiopia region. Vlad's new reforms increasingly centralised Nubia, and Triangle was pushed out of the community even more. With Triangle's isolation from the community, he became closer with the members of United Africa, an organisation fighting against the Yemen Empire and Nubia.
Rebellion
Not long after Vlad's rise to power in Nubia, CorruptedGreed contacted JackJackson with an offer to sell the nation of Umayyad to him for 350 gold. Jack messaged Triangle_Square and proposed that he buy the nation for him. Triangle accepted the proposal, and the country was purchased by the King of Nyasa, The President of the Congo and mutiple United Africa officials.
On the 13th of March, United Africa transferred the nation of Umayyad to Addis Ababa. Following the transfer, Triangle Square sent a message in the Nubian discord, making Addis Ababa's departing official: "After the raids on Addis Ababa and the current leader of Nubia, Vlad, being undemocratic, I have decided it is time for us to leave". Triangle_declared the creation of Ethiopia in the United Africa and Addis Ababa discord (Now the Ethiopian discord).
People's Republic of Ethiopia
Foundation of the Republic
Not long after the creation of Ethiopia, Triangle_Square_ was contacted by a member of a socialist alliance that had plans to unify Africa. And after a brief conversation and a small donation of gold to Ethiopia, Triangle opted to join the red union with the promises of more gold and support once he joined. As a result, on 17th of April , just over a month since Ethiopia declared independence from Nubia, Triangle_Square established the Peoples' Republic of Ethiopia (PRE) with himself President for life. However, while the establishment of the state provided more gold from United Africa and the Socialist Alliance, the nation's condition would deteriorate more into inactivity.
Operation Toto
With the creation of Ethiopia, Yemeni - United Africa relations soured. The United Africa high council was highly concerned about the Yemen Empire's expansion around Africa and the possibility of a war occurring between United Africa and the Yemeni Empire. Nubia was currently already at war with the United Kingdoms of Bantu (Nyasa, Congo, Kalahari). Hence, United Africa and the United Kingdoms of Bantu agreed to Operation Toto, a plan to get a spy into the Yemen Empire.
Operation Toto consisted of Triangle_Square_ asking if Ethiopia could join the Yemen Empire and then "going from there". On the 22nd of April, United Africa put the plan into motion with Triangle asked Raining_Oranges if he could join his empire. Shortly after asking, Ethiopia was accepted into the Yemen Empire. Triangle promptly sent an extensive amount of screenshots back to United Africa, confirming that the Yemeni Empire had no plans to invade UA but to invade Ancient Egypt instead, which United Africa quickly warned Ancient Egypt about.
Union of African Republics
In late April, Ethiopia joined the Union of African Republics, a union consisting of multiple African nations under the Yemen Empire. However, while Ethiopia was one of the founding members, Ethiopia's involvement in the league was little to non.
Central African Federation
The return of Twomoo1119 as Emperor of Nubia in mid-May saw Nyasa - Nubian relations significantly increased. As a result, Nyasa would reopen reunification talks with Nubia and only following one day of discussion, the Central African Federation was created with JackJackson and Twomoo1119 as joint monarchs.
By the time the federation was formed, Ethiopia had essentially been turned into a client state of Nyasa-Namibia, with all her political decisions being decided by the Nyasan senate. Thus, on 23rd of May, Ethiopia was put into the Central African Federation without Triangle_Square_'s permission.
Ethiopia - Nubia Border Dispute
Creation of New Gondar
In late May, Then Prime Minister Recruit4Days created the town of New Gondar following a failed attempt at creating a city in Albania. New Gondar was located in central Sudan/Eastern Ethiopia, chosen due to its flat area. However, while being a suitable location to start a town, Nubia quickly viewed the town as a threat close to Central Nubian territory. In response to its creation, the nearby town of Kraftier sent scouts over to investigate New Gondar. This soured relations between New Gondar and Kraftier, with Recruit4Days responding by insulting Kobi and his town.
Skirmish of New Gondar
On the 3rd of June, an ally of Kraftier, LumpyOctopusX99, adventured out of Kraftier and towards New Gondar. JackJackson, who at the time was king of Nyasa, saw this movement on the map and reported it to Recruit4Days. Jackson warned of the possibility that LumpyOctopus was heading over to New Gondar to kill a town resident, who had strayed away from the town claims. Recruit4Days immediately armoured up and made his way towards LumpyOctopus to engage him.
JackJackson, still watching the map, sent a message to Recruit4Days confirming that LumpyOctopus was heading in the direction of the town resident. Recruit promptly met LumpyOctopus halfway and killed him. Kobikraft also began to head towards New Gondar, but upon the death of LumpyOctopus, he fell back to his town instead.
Result of the Skirmish
The Skirmish of New Gondar was the spark needed for open conflict between Ethiopia and Nubia, with Ethiopia seeking revenge for the perceived attempted attack on an Ethiopian citizen. As a result, Prime Minister Recruit4Days informed President John_of_Aus of the Congo about the fight, and after a brief conversation with JackJackson, all parties agreed to launch a retaliation strike against Nubia.
Coalition raids of Nubia
Main Articles: Battle of Bombad and First Ethiopian Skirmish of Kraftier
A day after the Skirmish of New Gondar, the coalition forces (Congo, Nyasa and Ethiopia) raided the Nubian town of Bombad. The raid was a decisive coalition victory, with three Nubians casualties and Bombad's supplies being pillaged due to the city's perms not being set up correctly. A fourth informal partner also joined the coalition after the Bombad raid with the Nubian town of South_Mersa assisting Ethiopian and Nyasan forces at the First Ethiopian Skirmish of Kraftier. This informal partnership would continue with the formation of the Ethiopian Empire and the sequential raids of Kraftier.
Creation of the Ethiopian Empire
The Return of the Founding Members and the July Coup.
JackJackson, the former mayor of Addis Ababa, returned to the nation on the 1/7/2020, spending most of his time raiding the nearby town of Kraftier. Following his return, former members John_of_Aus, Recruit4Days also rejoined the town. The former members unsatisfied with the new communist government launched a coup on the 5/7/2020, storming the parliament building demanding ownership of the nation. Triangle_Square_ agreed, giving the country to JackJackson.
The Battle of Addis Ababa
Main Article: Battle of Addis Ababa
Before the Battle
Before the battle took place, Ethiopian forces had been attacking Nubian citizens in response to being attacked by Nubian forces at one of the many raids on Kraftier. In response, Nubia placed the town of Aniba, south of Addis Ababa. Upon logging on and seeing this, JackJackson messaged the other Ethiopians to attack the town.
JackJackson vs Twomoo1119
JackJackson made his way down to the town and attacked twomoo1119, who was supervising its creation. The mayor of Aniba and Twomoo1119 attacked Jackson forcing him to retreat to Addis Ababa.
The Battle of the Lion
Following the attack, Twomoo called for reinforcements. Around 10-12 Nubians arrived at Addis Ababa to fight. In that time, Recruit4Days and John_of_Aus logged on to defend the city. Deciding that fighting outside of claims would lead to defeat, pvp was toggled in the plots around the Lion of Judah. With the fight still ongoing, and no deaths on each side, JackJackson asked UghBraces for assistance to come help fight the Nubians. With the Nubians not killing any of the Ethiopians, they started to try and lure them out of claims. As this happened, UghBraces arrived, causing them to retreat.
Aftermath
The Ethiopians and allies claimed victory, defending the city and suffering no deaths to the Nubians. The Nubians are yet to put out a response regarding the battle.
The August Coup
John_of_Aus's betrayal
The August Coup was led by John_of_Aus. John was the owner of the town's primary source of income 'Johnny's British Beef Factory' which he used to influence Recruit4Days to standby in case of a coup. With Triangle_Square_'s support, and a handful of new residents, John_of_Aus then launched a coup d'etat against JackJackson and forced him out of the nation. JackJackson took refuge within South_Mersa. John_of_Aus stated in chat that "JackJackson has been found to have Nubian sympathies and is now the enemy number one of the Ethiopian state".
Counter-Coup
JackJackson organised a march on Addis Ababa with the help of South Mersa mayor NopNop101. Gathering gear and allies, they launched the attack. Unfortunately, many Addis Ababa residents were killed in the raid, leaving John_of_Aus and Recruit4Days without protection. Recruit4Days realising that their cause was hopeless, switched sides and handed John over to the Pro-Jackson side.
The September Coup
The Coup
John_of_Aus decided to oust JackJackson again, making him flee to Zanzibar and soon after Australia. John_of_Aus dismissed the Ethiopian Crown Council, placing himself as the sole ruler of Ethiopia. John ordered the deportation of all people from the Congo into the afterlife. This lead Negus Recruit4Days to declare Congo free from the Ethiopian Empire, starting the 17th Congo War.
JackJackson in Exile
JackJackson, fleeing to Australia, used his Wealth and Connections to secure a high role in the Union of Oceanian States (UOS). Using his time in exile, he organised the Irish Royal Army (IRA), consisting of troops from Australia, Congo and Zanzibar.
UOS vs Victoria war
With the creation of the IRA, it was opted the army would be tested on the Rebels called Victoria. A small battle took place where UOS forces fought Victoria. The end result of the battle was zero deaths on the UOS side to 1 on the Victoria in full God Gear. The town left Victoria and Joined SouthAustralia, at the time an allied nation of the UOS.
The October Revolution
Counter-Revolution
A counter-coup was organised between JackJackson, Recruit4Days and Triangle_Square_, the IRA used the Royal Ethiopian Navy to land south of Addis Ababa. Following the landing they marched North to Addis Ababa and John_of_Aus surrendered the capital without a fight.
Rebuilding of the Empire
JackJackson rebuilt the Empires relations with former members, inviting Congo back to the Ethiopian Empire. Congo accepted and the Treaty of Tsana was signed. Triangle_Square_ and JackJackson made a deal in private to reaffirm Zanzibar-Nyasa will stay in the Ethiopian Empire.
Reorganisation of the Empire.
JackJackson, once regaining control, reinstated the Crown Council was with NopNop101 being Prime Minister and Azysiri being Foreign Minister. The reorganised Council was enlarged and took on people who were once considered foreign to the Empire.

The October-November Come Back
Ethiopian Potion Brewery
Triangle_Square and JackJackson built a large potion brewer and automatic potion shop, quickly becoming the servers main stop for Haste II. The first day along the Potion Shop made over 120g gold with little effort required to do so. With large orders being placed helping the Ethiopian/Zanzibar government buy multiple beacons and a new location in Spain.
Johnny's British Cow Factory
JBCF was merged with EPB to create Ethiopian Potions and Cows. In addition, the cow factory production was increased with an extension underneath the Ethiopian Potion Shop.
The Fall of Ethiopia
Ethiopia's activity increase wouldn't last long, and by the end of the year, Ethiopia had returned to it's Semi-Active Status. All of the Ethiopian towns and colonies would be disbanded due to inactivity leaving Addis Ababa as the sole remaining town. JackJackson would officially disband the Ethiopian Empire and fully join Australia as a colony.
Purchase of Addis Ababa
Main article: Purchase of Addis Ababa.
After Negotiations ending on the 21st May 2021, Nubia would purchase Addis Ababa on the 22nd May 2021. The town would be given to cheetossssss, with Ethiopia itself being disbanded. However, this would be undone due to a large back that occurred.
The Removal of JackJackson as Negus Nagast
The Return of the Former Members
Following the unsuccessful selling of Addis Ababa, JackJackson asked the former members of Ethiopia if they would want to return and move to a different area in EarthMC with all agreeing to rejoin Addis Ababa. Soon after rejoining the former members would discover JackJacksons failed plan to sell Ethiopia without asking their permission. This action caused outrage between the members, with all expect Triangle_Square_ agreeing to remove JackJackson from power.
Operation Derg
On the 5/6/2020 Operation Derg was launched with Ethiopia's entire treasury being stolen by the rebels. AAfter stealing the nation's wealth, they demanded that JackJackson step down as Negusa Nagast and hand the nation over to Recruit4Days. Jackson would refuse, and after much discussion, a compromise was agreed upon.
The Addis Ababa Agreement
It was agreed that TearlessMist308 would become Negusa Nagast Gregory II of Ethiopia and JackJackson would forfeit his claim to the Ethiopian throne . This would lead The House of Gregory (TearlessMist308, Recruit4Days and Sharpy4) to become the dominant royal house instead of the house of Jackson (JackJackson, Triangle_Square_). JackJackson would be given the title of Enderase (Regent) until the Crown council could decide an agreed time for Gregory's offical coronation. Jackson would not have any offical power, instead he would have to ask the Crown Council of Ethiopia to agree to it before making any decisions.
The False banning of JackJackson
Only five days after Gregory II coming to power, JackJackson was banned for "mass alting". The EarthMC mods had accused Jack of using alts to hold towns and to grow his own. Naturally, this outraged the Ethiopians and quickly united them, with many memes being created and sent to the Mods involved. Large amounts of evidence promptly poured in, proofing that Jack wasn't using eight different alts. As a result, Jack was unbanned after 23 hours of being banned.
The Removal of Ethiopia from the Australian Empire
Australia - Lower Australia War
The province of Lower_Australia rebelled from Australia with the backing of Nubia but would quickly abandon Lower_Australia as many nations declared war on the rebel nation. The Ethiopian Government provided financial aid to Australia in the form of funding the town of Ballarat. Australia quickly won the war, with Lower_Australia surrendering.
Nubian involvement and the Treaty of Emu Point
Australia and her Government would quickly discover Nubian involvement, who promised to protect Lower_Australia if they rebelled. Shellbu, King of Australia, decided with JackJackson that Ethiopia should be removed from the Empire to stop Nubian interference within Australian affairs. Australia and Nubia signed the Treaty of Emu Point, officially releasing Ethiopia from Australia.
Ethiopian reaction
The Ethiopian Government, especially JackJackson, was angered by Nubia's failed invasion of Australia. To the Ethiopians, it was seen as invasion of a peaceful nation who had done nothing wrong to Nubia. This event help lead to Ethiopia joining the Tanzania Empire.

Nubia and Ethiopia have been involved with town stealing and battles against each other. Ethiopia has also helped enemy nations of Nubia.
History
Ethiopia and Nubia would quickly become enemies after creating an independent Addis Ababa. But even before this, Addis Ababa hadn't been on the best terms with Nubia due to them raiding Addis Ababa when it was first created.
Ethiopia would raid many Nubian towns in response to being attacked by a Nubian. Finally, Tensions reached a boiling point with the Battle of Addis Ababa occurring. Ethiopia would "win" the battle but slowly started to lose motivation. Since The battle of Addis Ababa until recent times, Ethiopia opted to help support enemy nations of Nubia instead of direct fighting.
Following the removal of Ethiopia from Australia and Nubia "stealing" a town from them, Ethiopia has returned to fighting against Nubia, with Ethiopia joining the Tanzanian Empire.
