History
Lixus was founded 3 February 2020 after declaring independence from Spanish rule.
After gaining its sovereignty, the nation faced pressure from two sides with conflicting interests. Spain wished to maintain control over the Northwestern African regions and offered land and power to Lixus leaders in exchange for allegiance. On the other hand, a budding United Africa sought to welcome the new state to their governing body. With two paths to take, leadership was forced to make a choice. After conversing with both sides of the conflict as well as the mayors of the towns which were promised to them, Diplomatic Leader Neowyld held a meeting which led to Lixus joining United Africa as Spain's offers appeared disingenuous.
Casino Era, 1 March 2020 - Present
Lixus's main project was the construction of The Golden Apple Casino. It was the purpose for becoming a nation. Ever since its founding, the members of the nation worked tirelessly on the building to create the first full-scale casino since Nepal. Neowyld designed the layout, exterior, interior, and theme. Reoost engineered the redstone for the games to work. BoxedSoda worked created the roof art. Valkyrie_Snow and Pixelfire93 worked on miscellaneous tasks.
A wild day sparked the opening of The Golden Apple Casino. It began with a 1v1 between Neowyld and Valkyrie_Snow which acted as the cutting of the ribbon. Valkyrie_Snow ended up winning the duel, and the gambling commenced. Later that day, the first Ice Race in Lixus would be hosted and it featured the one and only Fix. After the race ended, Fix left a copy of his head as a reward.
The casino is running incredibly well and has surpassed currency expectations. It is now the primary source of wealth for Lixus.
