Owari
Owari (Japanese: 尾張) is a town located on the Japanese Island Honshu on EarthMC Terra Nova. It's one of the oldest still existing towns in Japan.
History
April 2019
Owari was found by a friend group (Arekkusu98, B1te02, Ambistro, MikeShotZ, Amouros and others) on 19th April 2019, 4 days after Arekkusu98 first joined EarthMC. The area around x 25000, z -6500 was flattened to build the first houses of the new town. Many of the original buildings still exist today. Construction of Owari Castle also began during the early days. The towns population rose quickly to 20 citizens and its size to about 70 Chunks in early May.
May 2019
The mayor and founder Arekkusu98 suddenly resigned on the 13th May. The mayor rank was given to _Y3LIR_. Owari was very inactive from that point on. RandomRakuu, Chl0e_k and Timer24 were one of the few players who kept playing during that period.
Owari was griefed by an inactive citizen on the 15th June. Areas at the spawn were destroyed and around 130g were stolen from chests. The damages were repaired quickly.
Summer and Fall 2019
On June 23rd, Timer24 (a German player who joined EarthMC on May 7th) became the new mayor of the town after _Y3LIR_ was kicked due to inactivity. Owari joined the nation of Japan one day later and grew to 125 chunks in size.
From August to November the town was completely inactive. On October 22nd Owari joined the nation of Shimazu, after old Japan was disbanded.
2020
At the end of 2019, Taima_ started playing again, built new houses, finished Owari Castle and invited players. The town was connected to the -1k nether highway and a beacon was added to the spawn.
On the February 1st 2020 Taima_ was falsely banned for „bot-using“ but was unbanned a few days later. On February 15th Owari joined the nation Tokugawa which was later renamed to Japan. In March Owari became 176 chunks in size. New houses, a Pagoda and an Onsen (Japanese Bathhouse) were built during 2020. After the resignation of the leader of Japan KawadaJP, a good friend of Taima_, the town became inactive again. At the end of 2020 the town saw little change and the number of residents dropped to only one.

On January 10th KawadaJP and Taima_ agreed on building a museum with rare, old items from the 2nd and 3rd Japanese Empires in the north of Owari. With the help of other players, the museum was finished after 3 days. A memorial as well as a graveyard with over 20 former influential players of Japan was build next to it.
