Nova:Glacier Spartan
The Glacial Empire is a confederacy of towns, each with their own way of management but each with representation and power. It is located in Antarctica and the tip of South America, consists of 9 towns, with a combined population of 44.
History
The Glacial Empire was created due to a massive mining operation, voting, and a few donations. Early on, right before it's creation, a schism occurred where Alexfromsweden wanted to control the nation, while ZeTrapz wanted mayorship. An offer was made to make a small town nearby to act as the capital, but eventually it was decided that Alexfromsweden be the leader of Glacier Town, and the nation.
Alexfromsweden's Reign
Immediately after creation of the Glacial Empire, (GE,) GE countrymen traveled the world visiting many open border nations.
During this time, GE members also expanded the only town at the time, making a shop, buying villagers, making residential plots, etc. However, trouble struck when an image of Glacial Empire members with the Japanese Shogun's shield appeared in the Shogun's direct messages. Alexfromsweden had stopped the Shogun in his own AFK pool, murdering him via drowning. Following this, Alexfromsweden got the bright idea to kill other nations' villagers. He was eventually caught and killed by Magenent, the Leader of Norway.
It was at this time that GE members were given an ultimatum: have Alexfromsweden give up leadership, or face the wrath of Norway, Denmark, and Britain. Fearing for his life, Alexfromsweden gave up his leadership; he was promptly kicked out and a temporary leader was established before eventually passing down to ZeTrapz.
ZeTrapz' Reign
After relations with Norway were smoothed over, Glacial Empire leaders began to seek allies and conduct trading with foreign parties. New_London was added to the nation, and anyone who had settled nearby was invited to become a member of the GE.
Under ZeTrapz' command, Glacial Empire leaders seek a new, neutral path. Conflict with any nation is viewed as unnecessary without deliberate reason.. As of 3/19/19 Alexfromsweden has been IP Banned, and we seek to repair some of the damage left behind. An expansion of the nation begun, with some members of the first few towns branching off to claim more land for the nation.
War with Antarctica (Town)
In search of possible settlements, L3royJenkins was traveling eastward along the Antarctic coastline when he discovered a settlement owned by dok_and_max. L3roy was then invited to browse their compound to see twenty to thirty cows for sale. After leaving the compound, L3roy continued eastward until he was messaged by ZeTrapz. After a conversation, L3roy was invited to see Glacier_Town. During the informal tour, players dok_and_max and kolkar04 began to conduct perimeter harassment. ZeTrapz started to repel the harassment, where he informed L3roy that dok_and_max and kolkar04 actually stole all of the cows that were in their possession in the compound. This inspired L3roy to side with ZeTrapz and help him fend off the attack. The GE leader and the mercenary were successful in killing one of the attackers, where the other attacker then ran to a chunk claimed by Darislav, teleporting back to Antarctica. War was then declared between the Glacial Empire and the town of Antarctica.
Empire Expansion
Diplomacy
The Glacial Empire's residents tend to keep to themselves. usually due to the fact that the empire is quite far from practical means of overworld travel. However, efforts are being made to branch out and trade with other parties, towns, and nations.
Japan
Alexfromsweden, former GE Leader, drowned the Shogun of Japan in his own AFK pool and took his shield. As such, GE didn't start on good terms, but as of now things have blown over.
Norway
Formerly hostile due to Alexfromsweden killing villagers, there is now a tense peace.
Majapahit
Oldest trade partner and good friends, a few of GE's newer structures were inspired by their architecture.
