Aurora:Dnieper

Dnieper is a trade nation north of Romania and east of the Russian Empire, it's peaceful history relates partly due to it gaining most of it's profits through scavenging. Despite it's small size, Dnieper has, over time, been embroiled in controversy due to it's leader Ytteryer. Ytteryer is notable for their dislike of Romania and their connection with CFRhino prior to their ban in February of 2025. Dnieper is the only known nation (other than Ob) which frequently gives trash blocks away like Stone(s), Dirt, Containers, and more.

The main exports of Dnieper consist of materials found in abandoned sites:

• Concrete/Terracotta
• Glass
• Potions
• Misc items (Flowers, Wood, Campfires, etc.)

Creation

Sighisoara was originally created August 13th, 2024, and was originally apart of Romania. The town advertised itself as a "Traveler Helper Tavern" giving away blocks and food to players who headed east from their spawn points in Greater Russia. The town soon expanded, creating a free item building, which had switch on, enabling players to open chests in the building. From there, the town expanded around a crater left by an old base long before the creation of Sighisoara.

The owner, Ytteryer, attempted to get plots in Romania's capital from it's leader, Dirtman, in order to begin selling items near a teleport. A supposedly rude exchange followed and Ytteryer sold/mined/fundraised gold out of spite to make the precursor to Dnieper, Transnistria. As Sighisoara expanded, houses were constructed and the famous monolith was constructed in the middle of the old crater. During this time, Ytteryer refused to sell his nation to Romania or puppet nations purely for the sake of the message. Still, to this day, Dnieper stands as a refusal to bow to greater powers.
