Oakwood
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Oakwood, formerly Coolville, is the county seat of Comment County. It blends medieval and modern elements, as well as taking inspiration from nature. It was originally founded April 12, 2025, and was inherited by its current mayor, The_Last_Comment, September 14, 2025. Its government is rudimentary, made up of a mayor, and two councillors. All government decisions are proposed to the people by the mayor to vote on publicly.
History
Early History
Oakwood began as Coolville, inherited by The_Last_Comment at 150 chunks. It took 8 days to transform the town from the city inspired architecture to the medieval aesthetic it has now.
The town started as part of the nation of Vermont, but soon after its initial stages, it was under threat of losing its bridge town Nostromo. The mayor of Nostromo could not be reached, and there weren’t any closer towns. On October 12, 2025, Oakwood made the decision with permission from Vermont’s president to join the nation of Cascadia instead.
Neighboring Conflicts
Next to Oakwood was a town known as Arnold. This town was inactive, and only had one remaining resident. The town was preventing further Oakwood expansion, and was heavily overclaimed. Comment messaged its mayor, Squishysushiyum, offering 272 gold, the cost of each plot in the town. Sushi initially refused, but Comment continued to negotiate. Sushi suggested fighting for the town, which Comment refused, as Oakwood is a peaceful town, and tried to compromise instead. Sushi was not receptive to any of these suggestions, and finally a deal was made. If Sushi won the fight, Arnold would be untouched, and Oakwood would claim around it. If Comment won, Oakwood would claim over Arnold’s plots. The fight was without weapons, armor, or potions, taking place in the wilderness just outside of Arnold. Comment was victorious, and the town of Arnold was deleted. The road that was placed on top of the claim was named Arnold Lane in its honor.
