History
Newburn has a small nether hub and easy access to the capital of Alaska, even if it were to leave the country. Alaska is part of the mega-nation Cascadia, meaning it has many allies to teleport to. Newburn now has easy access to, even though it is not a capital. Do
/n spawn Alaska
and go find a nether portal. Enter it and instructions to get to Newburn will be in the small Newburn Nether Hub.
Newburn is also building a new shopping district, with an all-new ALDI opening soon. (ALDI owned by Irre1evancy)
Early History
Before The Town Was Claimed
BetaPlain joined late July of 2019 and set out to create a new town. BetaPlain was and is still interested in management and city-building games so he thought EarthMC was the perfect place. More details about BetaPlain's adventure and the early town mine can be found here.
The New Mine
Newburn's mine was one of the first things built by BetaPlain. He and Irre1evancy worked hours to dig a one-chunk hole down 70 blocks to Y12. The project has already become expensive despite having hardly any work on it.
Buildings
The current buildings of Newburn include ALDI in the shopping district

The Newburn Militia (NM)
If you are a resident in Newburn, you may hear the phrase 'NM' a lot. NM refers to the Newburn Militia, which was originally planned to be a volunteer service. It is now a reserve service, and all citizens MUST fight when the town is under attack. The town provides the citizens with a standard 25 cooked porkchop, and god armor.
Economy
Newburn's economy completely relies on BetaPlain and Irre1evancy. Since the town has no taxes, it requires both BetaPlain and Irre1evancy to vote. Irre1evancy frequently mines for gold and also supplies the town that way.
