Aurora:Israel

Israel is a large nation in Terra Aurora of Earth MC, based in the regions of modern day Israel, but also inhabitating areas such as northern Saudi Arabia, Sinai, Egypt, and Iran. Israel is the 12th largest nation in EMC as of September 6th, 2022, and has its capital Jerusalem, as of August 2nd, 2022 being the 2nd largest town in all of EMC, with 121 members. It is by far the most prosperous nation in the entire Middle East excluding Turkey.

History

Foundations

On May 1st, 2022, with many desiring to fill the void of losing the vast Terra Nova nation of Israel, 2 players, fritzstick and jabesb2 were both attempting to create the town of Jerusalem. jabesb2 managed to acquire enough gold fast enough to create Jerusalem first, with fritzstick leaving his ambitions in Israel. Jabes and _Zuper, the only 2 members at the time with beta access, developed Jerusalem, made farms and saved up a lot of gold. When the server fully launched on May 13th, Jerusalem began rapidly expanding, also encountering many claimblock towns, such as Tel_Aviv and Nablus.

Foundation of Israel

After the launch, with heavy contributions coming from players like sirtees, TenSpaces, TheMiniBossMan, redtwo742 and others, the town of Jerusalem was able to heavily expand, and on May 19th, enough gold was saved up to form the nation of Israel. With the nation continuing to expand in this time, it found itself at odds with nations trying to claimblock Israel, namely Babylon and Egypt, who formed multiple towns to claimblock Israel. However on May 30th, 2022 the moderation team deleted 2 of the claimblocking towns and downsized another.

Prosperity

After this, the nation would continue to expand, seizing much of modern day Israel, Palestine, and the inhabitable parts of Jordan. With Jerusalem expanding and gaining money, other towns in the region would begin allying and even joining Israel, namely Bani_R3D in North Arabia and New_Orthinia in Northern Iran. By late July 2022, Israel had expanded into the regions of Sinai, Upper Egypt, Iraq, Arabia and even Dagestan.

In Late August and Early September the Israeli towns in Arabia and Iraq split off peacefully to form their own nations.

Government

The government of the state of Israel is essentially a diarchy between jabesb2 and sirtees, with the nation being run by the 2, along with others like _Zuper and TheMiniBossMan. On top of that, the rulers select their own council of trusted veterans, players and friends to help manage the nation. They make up the Parliament of Israel, which is non elected, but rather is a meritocracy of men selected by the leaders to help govern Israel.
