History
StarkeOG would join EarthMC on August 11th, 2024, he would be joined by his friends in the following days. They would all join the Australia town of Tambo (then named Mexico) and begin grinding on the server. Once enough gold was collected between the group, StarkeOG would leave the town of Tambo and begin trekking through Siberia to find a suitable place to found a town. On August 17th, 2024, the town of Abram was founded in the Angara river valley, just north of Lake Baikal.
Abram's population would rise steadily over the next few weeks, hitting 10 people by September. On September 4th, Abram citizens had grinded out enough gold to found a nation, and thus, the nation of Angara was born. Over the rest of September, Angara would recruit a nearby town, send a colonist out to found a new town, and have its population within the capital of Abram explode to 25+ residents.
Today, Angara continues to grow and expand in its domain. Angara prides itself on large redstone farms that it uses to mass produce various resources, most of which are sold at the marketplace within their /n spawn. Angara is an isolationist nation, despite their alliances with their neighboring nations of Mongolia, Chita and Tunguska, Angara keeps to itself and prefers to continue growing its territory, population and economy in peace and quiet.
Government
Angara has no implemented constitution or organized government, with no official roles other than that of city mayors and the High Priest, StarkeOG himself. Instead, a system of communal meritocracy has been unofficially adopted.
The most active citizens, in collaboration with the mayors, have say in what happens within a town. Everything from which buildings to build and what chunks to claim is put to a small vote between the most active citizens within a town. Half of Angara towns also have systems of public storage, where active players of a town can put their excess resources into a publicly available chest for newer/less active residents to use as they please.
At a future point, when Angara's amount of active residents becomes high enough, StarkeOG wishes to transition Angara into a republic.
Religion
Angara officially identifies itself as a Christian nation, believing in the divinity and teachings of Lord Jesus Christ. Angara's /n spawn is a giant Cross with beacons shining through the top of it, and various Christian themed map arts are owned by various citizens. An official church is planned for construction at a future point, with aspirations of getting it officially recognized by EarthMC's Vatican.
Christianity is not a state forced religion, however. The religion of Epsteinism is a fringe religion within Angara, which is a carbon copy of Christendom's beliefs spare for Jesus Christ being swapped with Jeffrey Epstein. There exists 3 known Epsteinism churches within EarthMC, one in the Angara capital of Abram, another in the Angara town of Epstein Village, and the 3rd and original church being in Tambo, Australia.
