Nova:Japan

1st Japan

Run by MenjiTheGreat, now Kabo, who left to found Amsterdam

Kyoto leaves and becomes captial of Islands for 1 day (I think)

Islands and Japan both have capital in Japan (I think)

Somehow resolved and Kyoto rejoins Japan

2nd Japan

Run by Lucas2011, who left to run Perce

This seemed to be a high point in Japan, with Japan reaching into the Pacific, active members, and well regarded by others on the server. Sadly, it all went inactive when Lucas2011 left Tokyo.

Kyoto, under Kurai_18, leaves after Lucas2011 left Tokyo and made its own nation Valkyrian_Empire

Most of the towns that composed the 2nd Japan fell from inactivity on December 12th 2017

3rd Japan

Run by Appadeia

Early History

This Japan officially started its life in the territory of Russia before moving to Japan on the 30th of November, 2017 and its capital was Osaka. Appadeia at first said 'Japan is a pacifist nation with neutral ideals' and Japan was instrumental in the Treaty of Osaka.

Late History

However, Japan moved to the Japanese Islands and waited until Tokyo, the capital of the 2nd Japan fell. This fell on December 12th but Japan did not move in to claim Tokyo. As a result Alania claimed an outpost there to stop greifs from players (notably GUI66). Appadeia got angry at this and threatened Alania with the Treaty of Osaka (Which Alania had no part in). Then, a citizen of Osaka, ExpertMammal, greifed Tokyo with fire, and was somehow not banned, Appadeia then finally put an outpost in Tokyo. But on December 21th 2017 Appadeia started blowing up Tokyo, he called it 'clearing my land' while the rest on the world called it greifing. With the huge push-back against Appadeia and Japan. He suddenly disbanded the nation of Japan and then disbanded his town of Osaka too.

2nd Intermediate Period

This overlaps with the 3rd Japan from December 12th to the fall of Japan on December 21st where it then overlaps 4th Japan until the fall of the 4th and continued until January 5th 2018.

Period of attempted preservation of Tokyo by Alania colony of Alanian Japan-Nippon and by Oliveer of Austrian_Empire claiming outposts to stop greifs after the collapse of the 3rd Japan. These outposts will be unclaimed when a strong and stable Tokyo emerges.
