History
Early History (January to February of 2020)
Birth in Nepal
Matthew_Hodges originally joined under the name 1203927 in Nepal, made some basic tools, and with no understanding of the teleportation system walked eastwards to Bangladesh and from there, China.
Invitation to China
Soon after he joined, he joined the nation of Qing by the Emperor, Mr_X1234 who also gave him a starter set of Diamond Armor and a plot in LiaoYang.
Scars from Fiji
Soon after his entrance into Qing, Mat (called that at the time) was in a Qing voice channel and was told that there was free stone in Fiji, unaware of Mineturtle795's activities at the time. He was swiftly killed with a Near-God Armor set, Max-Enchant Axe, and Unbreaking III/Mending Shield. This trauma is directly responsible for Matthew keeping all his God Tools, Valuables, and Armor in his Ender Chest unless needed.
Mid-Year (March to July of 2020)
Move to Qiqihar
Around March of 2020, Mat moved over to a town west of LiaoYang called Qiqihar, gaining enough trust to become a Councillor and right-hand man to the mayor of the town, PotatoInSpace. Later in March, Potato was able to purchase the nation of Gold Coast in West Africa, handing the position of Mayor over to Mat. From here, Potato gave the order to delete the town, a decision Matthew still feels guilty for following to this day.
Turmoil from Qing
Directly after this, Mr_X1234, the Emperor of Qing received the news of the deletion. He was understandably pissed due to Qiqihar's strategic positioning, escorting Mat to reclaim the town. But due to a glitch, the town was rolled back and deleted a second time. The gold was subsequently refunded but the Emperor let Matthew keep the funds due to the collapse of the Qing Empire.
Migration to the Philippines
By the time Qing already collapsed (but technically still existed), 1203927 moved his items to an embassy in Pyongyang of the recently-formed Duel Republic of Korea, and using the refunded gold that was given back to Mr_X1234, he created a town at the Northern tip of the Philippines named Aparri. In this time he led a life in solitude, ordering some animals along the way, but not mingling or interfering in the politics of the server. Eventually Aparri joined the nation Filipinas, out of convenience and not out of loyalty.
The End of Aparri
Due to Mat setting the main plot in Aparri to an "Inn" without the knowledge of what Inns did, everything valuable within the town was stolen. The event was so discouraging that Matthew logged off to intentionally let the town fall on its own to resume playing on his previous anarchy server of choice.
New Beginnings (Nov. 2020 to Present)
Return to EarthMC
After months of inactivity, on November 19, 2020, 1203927 returned under the new name of Matthew_Hodges to find the server in a different shape than before. Soon afterwards he was snagged up into the town of Mersa of Nubia. And quickly after this he drafted plans and maps of making a new town in the previous Qing Dynasty territory, transferring his items to an embassy in Asia to prepare for the move. And by pure luck, he attended a gold drop in which he obtained 64 Gold Blocks along with an assortment of valuables. However, he also didn't immediately create the town due to having to move his items beforehand.
The Creation of the PRC
Only a few days after the gold drop, the user Kolleen was selling off her 28-chunk nation (named 4.1ContactStaff at the time) for only 200G, which was situated in Western China. From here Matthew bought the small nation and renamed the town after the province it was located, Guizhou, while the nation itself was renamed to the PRC (People's Republic of China).
Relations into Siberia
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Matthew was approached by Leny1135 of the PRS, who explained his doctrine of the PRS, which was shared by Matthew. This directly led to in late December, Matthew putting the PRC into the PRS.
