Nubia, otherwise known as the Third Nubian Empire, is often described as one of the most powerful and influential nations on EarthMC Terra Aurora. Its influence stretches everywhere around the world through its meganation, The Third Nubian Empire. However, Nubia's influence is most prominent in the regions of Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, Eastern Russia, Indochina, Indonesia, and Australia. This is because Nubia's dynamic range for towns has either in the recent past or currently extended to all of these areas, covering more than three continents and hundreds of regions and comprising of a peak total of 197 towns at once.
The founding of Nubia in December 2023 was the reincarnation of Nubia from Terra Nova; the key figures involved in the founding, Emperor Thee_Boss, gorkymoo1119, and ex—Emperor twomoo1119 both played a significant role in the First and Second Nubian Empires previously. Much of its early founding documents, including its constitution, was made with reference to the governmental system of the Second Nubian Empire. From December 2023 to March 2024, the nation remained focused primarily in Africa, achieving significant population growth and continued territorial growth to the south and east of Meroe, with its government defined during this period by a small active playerbase, whilst also seeing non-contiguous imperial growth with the addition of the Kongo. After a multitude of months, the Third Nubian Empire continued to grow, extending across Africa and the Middle East, slowly expanding its influence. It officially established itself as a growing power in Africa when it joined the Polar Republic and the capital of Meroe reached over one hundred residents.
The Third Nubian Empire is a constitutional monarchy, defined by democratic characteristics, including the election of five ministerial positions that form the Upper House, informally known as the Cabinet. The meganation is further subdivided into smaller provinces, with devolved responsibilites for regional and local governance. The Upper House is advised in their duty by the Imperial Assistant, a role which was redefined in December 2024. The role of Grand Bovine, an advisory position, is also held by those involved in the foundation of the Third Nubian Empire; Emperor Thee_Boss, gorkymoo1119 and twomoo1119. Nubia was previously a member of the Polar Republic from January to August 2024. Since Nubia has been created, the government structure has changed slightly multiple times throughout its history. Nations within the Third Nubian Empire can become provinces if their nation and or mega nation is significant enough to qualify for one. Provinces get increased political autonomy and receive the ability to place a representative in the Nubian government. A position for former leaders and high-ranking members of Nubia was created called "Qores", and the role of Grand Bovine was replaced. Qores effectively help the current emperor make decisions and or help run the nation in times of unavailability from the emperor or if the emperor feels he or she cannot handle the situation at hand.
Big Cow is the religious figure of Nubia and the Third Nubian Empire. Big Cow is a mystical being that is everything, everywhere, at any time. Big Cow is Always Watching, and continues to influence thousands across the EarthMC community. Even new players are influenced by Big Cow, whether it be ending up with Big Cow map art or buying 1G God Tools and 1G God Armor from the Nubian Tool and Armor shop which continues to be the cheapest and only major tool and armor shop on the server. Big Cow helps turn the tide of wars, conflicts, and misunderstandings in Nubia's favor. Big Cow is Always Watching-The Pasture Expands.
Flag
The Nubian flag reused the flag that used from Nova counterpart, which is a vertical tricolor/tricolour. The most speculated symbolism of the flag is that the fly end of the flag is dyed brown to represent the people of the East African coast. The middle band is also dyed white as to represent the White Nile River which flows through the center of the nation. The black band represents the fertility of the Nile River and the land that sits by it. Another popular theory is that the Nubian flag represents the typical colors of a cow, black-white-brown, to support Big Cow. While this theory has mainly grown popular within Terra Aurora, many believe the reasonings can be traced back to the FNE and SNE, (First and Second Nubian Empire).
Third Nubian Empire (Mega nation)
The Third Nubian Empire consists of multiple nations throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Europe and Antarctica. At its peak, it reached 42 total nations inside of it at once and was spread from both sides of the EarthMC map. The Third Nubian Empire is mostly kept to Africa, Asia, and Australia to avoid instability and overreach. The policy is to keep most nations that join the Third Nubian Empire within close proximity or inside of Nubia's dynamic range. There have been plenty exceptions to this rule, which usually occur through provinces of the Third Nubian Empire creating their own mega nations and inviting international nations to it or rare exceptions where nations not from those areas join, usually due to close friendship, connection, or cooperation beforehand, examples being Aurora:Hawaii and Aurora:Arctic.
There are many major nations inside of the Third Nubian Empire, most of which have grown to such size throughout their membership, examples being the nation of Uzbekistan and Sulawesi. Both of which topping the resident charts and town charts during their peak, even out-populating Nubia for a couple days. Both of which have their own empires inside of the Third Nubian Empire which are named the First Sulawesian Empire and the Uzbekistan Federation. Both of these happen to be provinces. Like mentioned in the background section, provinces are inside of the Third Nubian Empire but are allowed more autonomy than regular nations. Provinces include: Bharat League of States, Union of Pacific States, the Uzbek Federation, The First Sulawesian Empire, Aurora:Egypt, and the Arctic Empire Two.
The Third Nubian Empire makes diplomacy on behalf of all nations, regardless of what province they are in or how much they are involved. When the Third Nubian Empire allies with a nation, all nations in the Third Nubian Empire are now allies with said nation. This was seen most prominently when the Third Nubian Empire joined the Entente against threats of war by the hostile nations of RSA and Pilbara (covered in the Conflicts section). Not every alliance has gone over perfectly, however most nations the Third Nubian Empire does diplomacy with are generally well liked among the nations inside of it.
There have been a lot of nations inside of the Third Nubian Empire, all of which have at some point been under the partial control of the emperor, whether it be Thee_Boss or MrPickle26. Every nation (almost) that has been inside the Third Nubian Empire goes as follows:
Africa: Nubia, Somalia, Congo, Kongo, Turkana, Zambezia, Belgium, DRC, Ghana, Xai Xai, Egypt, Gold Coast, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Orientale, Zaire, Burundi, Zanzibar, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Yemen, Fulo, Tanganyika, Aksum.
Asia: Caspian, Earth, Maratha, Laos, Bhutan, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Uzbekistan, Tannu Tuva, Central Russia, Naiman, Mongolia, India, Wu, Tian Shan, Xinjiang, Pakistan, Bactria, Bangladesh, Mauryan Empire, Sri_Lanka, Kashmir, Yavana, Gujarat, Hubba, Sulawesi, Manado, Siam, Suong, Borneo, Indochina, Indonesia, American Samoa, Cameroon, Mughal Empire, Aral Sea, KSA, Nicobar, Turkestan, Tajikistan, Papua, Tonga, Hagelian_Kuzbass, Khroma.

Antarctica: Asuka.
Mega Nations First Sulawesian Empire, Uzbekistani Empire, Bharat League of States, United Pacific States, First Borneo Empire.
Nubia (Nation)
Early Thee_Boss Era (The Beginnings of the Nation): Nubia proper was founded by Thee_Boss on December 25th, 2023, two days after the capital, Meroe, was founded (December 23rd, 2023). The capital became the heart of early Nubia, quickly gaining many new residents that populated the nation. Most importantly, the two most influential people accompanying Thee_Boss, Gorkymoo1119 and You_Go_Slavia, joined the town and got to work laying the foundation for the empire. During the following month of January, the first Nubian government was appointed, and it concluded with only two positions being held, nachoman267 as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and gorkymoo1119 as the Minister of Internal Affairs. Quickly after on January 7th, the capital, Meroe, became the 20th largest city on EarthMC, and was marked a 'metropolis'. This marked a huge milestone for the young nation, as in the span of fifteen days, the capital had reached a status held by few EarthMC towns. A massive event happened inside of Nubia on January 13th, 2024: The day Nubia joined the Aurora:Polar Republic. The Polar Republic will be mentioned in the section named 'Alliances' below, however, the effects on early Nubia were almost immediate as it exposed Nubia to a world of new nations, connections, and allowed it to silently grow its influence on the server. During this time, Nubia had become an extremely prominent regional power in Africa and had decided to hold its first election on January 15th, 2024. The election included four major roles which would shape the Nubian government structure for the rest of Aurora. Finally, a dream that many mayors hold had finally been reached, and on January 20th, 2024, Meroe had reached one hundred residents becoming the sixth biggest town on the server. This achievement exploded the nation in popularity and activeness, along with a ceremony held on February 16th, 2024, that celebrated the nations 5-year anniversary from EarthMC Terra Nova. Nations and towns continued joining, and the nation hit two hundred residents in early April, marking the first time the nation reached a one hundred chunk nation bonus, and the last time as well, since little was it known then, but the nation would hold over two hundred residents until the reset of Terra Aurora in May of 2026.
Mid Thee_Boss Era (A time of Early Expansion and Nubian Supremacy): Shortly after reaching two hundred residents, the previous Emperor and founder of Nubia on Terra Nova, twomoo1119, returned to the nation after leading a nation in Canada. Nubia consistently topped charts for nations with the most residents online and with this continued to grow and thrive in Africa. This was most clearly seen when Nubia reached a total of one hundred towns in the nation during early May of 2024. Quickly after reaching one hundred, Nubia became the nation with the most towns at one hundred and fifteen, topping the previous nation with the most, Venice, by one. Around this time is when a new culture dawned upon Nubia. During Terra Nova, Nubia had been extremely oriented towards recruiting residents into massive cities, totaling hundred residents in several different towns. However, due to a new-ish feature, dynamic range, Nubia quickly took advantage of the potential that lied within it. Nubia began spreading out residents into different towns, making them mayors, and were using them in what has been effectively named 'Town Chaining'. In this, Nubia spread its towns all over Africa and southern Arabia and quickly spread its influence in a much greater area than its region. A byproduct of this being the large nation of Caspian joining the Third Nubian Empire, along with many other nations to follow, examples being Bangladesh, India, and Orissa. Abusing this new dynamic range, Nubia engaged in its first major town project, named 'Project India'. Described in greater detail below in the section named 'Nubian Town Projects', Project India was a huge success, contributing massively to Nubia's dominance in the Indian ocean region and establishing the nation as a force to be reckoned with. Arguably, the greatest event in Nubian history, across all iterations and empires occurred, when on July 11th, 2024, twomoo1119 and Thee_Boss announced the Nubian "Factory". The Factory, detailed more in the section below named 'Factory', greatly increased Nubia's impact on the EarthMC server as a whole, and still affects Nubia to this day. The Factory quickly became the shining light of Nubia and would come to help Nubia create an income through tool sales and helped incorporate members into Nubia by creating a culture surrounding the Factory as it commonly became a hangout spot for many people, and a place to earn gold while having fun with friends. Detailed greater in the section named 'Conflicts', Nubia denounced the nation of Israel for attacking its close ally of Egypt. Little was it known then, but this would officially start a long line of Nubian-Middle Eastern aggression that lasted until the very end of Aurora. A problem with Nubia's newfound expansion occurred when the nation of Zaire had a internal conflict with the nation of Tanzania, which both happened to be nations inside the Third Nubian Empire. Nubia made it clear from the start that it backed Tanzania completely, because of this, the nation of Zaire left the Third Nubian Empire, and officially declared war on Tanzania, and in turn, Nubia. While Tanzania did most of the fighting in this war, it did cause Nubia to think about the strength of its mega nation, and how it affected Nubia proper's safety and stability. In part because of this realization, and in part of a need for more expansion, Nubia appointed trusted former Nova, and then current Aurora government member, Alas, to create the Bharat League of States, with its main goal being to unify all of the Asian Third Nubian Empire nations. Not only was it successful in its goal of unifying these nations, but it also grew so large that nations started to join the Third Nubian Empire through the Bharat League of States, marking an era of unity among the Third Nubian Empire and in Nubia. This unity did not last for long however, during the creation of the Bharat League of States, a massive 'Chain Break' occurred in Nubia. A chain break is when the aforementioned 'town chains' break! When they break, all of the towns on that specific chain get kicked, and in this case, every town outside of a three thousand block range of Nubia was kicked. For most nations, this would have resulted in the destruction of the nation permanently, however, in Nubia's case, Thee_Boss, twomoo1119, and the new Minister of Municipal Development, MrPickle26 stepped up, and managed to re-connect every town kicked from the nation in a matter of weeks. Chains that had taken months to build were destroyed in a matter of seconds, but the perseverance of the nation's mayors, and the nation's government allowed every town to be reconnected in a speed never thought possible. Once again, stability was restored, and this chain break created a national loyalty to Nubia as it demonstrated the nations commitment to its mayor's safety.
Late Thee_Boss Era (A time of International Diplomacy and Expansion): With the collapse of Zaire imminent, Nubia turned its eyes to a growing threat in the region of Central Asia, named, well... Central Asia. In response to this growing threat, Nubia signed the Central Asian Security Alliance with Kazakhstan and the Soviet Union, both prominent nations in the area afraid of the growing threat as well. Described in greater detail under the section 'Conflicts', Nubia's war with Central Asia was fierce, however, even early on it became a net positive for the nation. Many new towns and nations became active inside of Nubia during the war, which allowed for greater influence worldwide, as well as the expansion of town chains across the world. Nubia, getting comfortable with its chains in India, and not fearing another chain break in the area, created a new daring endeavor: Project Indonesia. Inspired by the former Project India which brought important nations like Uzbekistan and large town groups like the Halwani cluster into Nubia, the new Project Indonesia aimed to do the same thing, but this time, in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. During this time, labeled in greater detail in the section named 'Nubian Town Projects', the current Minister of Municipal Development, MrPickle26, along with Thee_Boss, and twomoo1119 embarked on this project not expecting a large success. However, the project turned out to be a success just shy of Project India, adding nations like Sulawesi into the Third Nubian Empire, which would later become the biggest nation inside the Empire, rivaling Nubia in size at times. This project also brought Nubian influence on Australia which at the time was primarily run by two nations, one of which being Pilbara, and it so happened that the nation was led by KobiKraft, leader of the most popular rebel nations from Nova Nubia. The project interjected a sense of fear into the continent that would influence later foreign diplomacy between the two nations. Nubia reached its largest extent during this era, when Nubia proper had towns in northern Morrocco all the way to central Australia. This was never before seen in EarthMC history, and was thought to be borderline impossible, and while it was not impossible to do, it quickly proved difficult to manage, and the town chain for Project Indonesia only lasted a month when it broke, and was fixed, before quickly being broken again. The second break was not fixed, and Nubia never again had towns inside of Nubia proper on the Indonesian or Australian continents. Commonly considered a loss at the time is now considered a major win for Nubia, as it brought about an era of Nubian Indonesian dominance that would last until the end of Terra Aurora. On the African continent around this time, the two nations of Tanzania and Ethiopia merged to form Orientale. This was a major shift in Nubia's dominance on the African continent, as no nation before could come even close to rivaling them in size, the only ones being RSA who was quickly beaten. It was widely known among the Nubian government that Orientale was being heavily influenced by Crusader States, formerly Israel. Yes, the same Israel that Nubia had earlier denounced for fighting Egypt. A secret whisperer high up in the Orientale government fed extremely important information to the Nubian government through MrPickle26 that allowed there to be no surprise when Orientale did in fact declare independence. However, within the span of two weeks, and with virtually zero Nubian pressure, the nation of Orientale fell, in the process selling all of its major towns to Nubia. The only real major issue remaining was the conflict with Central Asia, which had still been going strong throughout all of this. The conflict had reached multiple peaks, and there were plenty of developments on the conflict daily. This conflict would not be solved during the remainder of Thee_Boss's time as Emperor. A slump in the emperor's activity had been noticed by the Nubian government, and many predictions were thrown forward by the then ministers on the future of the nation. None of the predictions came to fruition, however, they were correct in the unusual activity decrease of Thee_Boss, and on May 4th, 2025, MrPickle26 was crowned Emperor by Thee_Boss.
