Early History
Nieuw Zeeland was created around the 8th of June 2023 by the current mayor Count F1rret. F1rret joined the server around the 5th of June 2023, originally living in the castle of Grytviken, South Georgia. Before the landing of Nieuw Zeeland, the territory was pre-planned by Porbei, the King of Grytviken. The island was named after the region of Zeeland in the Kingdom of the Netherlands due to MilanB09, who helped in the founding of the island, originating from Middelburg, Zeeland. Prior to the adventure to the island, Grytviken gifted F1rret a full set of diamond armour and tools in order for the civilisation to be started as part of a planned agreement for the eventual annexation of Nieuw Zeeland by the Grytvikans.
F1rret set sail for Nieuw Zeeland later that day, officially establishing the town around the 8th of June and beginning the creation of the island's fortifications. North of Nieuw Zeeland, City 18, run by Polish adventurer and also an ex-Grytviken resident Dzik32, was created with the assistance of Porbei who donated a stack of gold to help with its creation.
