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 see its population within the capital of Abram explode to 30+ residents.
In October, Angara continued to grow and expand in its domain. Angara constructed multiple large redstone farms to mass produce foodstuffs, discs, dripstone and more, most of which are sold at the marketplace within their /n spawn. On October 9th, 2024, a constitution would be implemented in Angara, which provided Angara with a constitutional republic government. On October 12th, Angara would join both the Global Protection Pact (GPP) and become a founding member of The Federation of Democratic Russian Nations (FDRN), the latter of which has a stated goal of maintaining and spreading democratic ideals throughout Eastern Russia and Siberia. Angara formed the FDRN with the nearby nations of Sibir and Yakutia.
Into November, Angara would begin to expand even faster. Their town count would rise to 13, and continued development of the capital city's industrial district would bring in even more wealth. Near the end of November, Angara would join The Eastern Accord, being one of it's original members. It is a massive alliance of Eastern European and Asian nations on the server, and quickly became the 2nd most populous alliance on the server, behind the OFN itself. The other nations whom joined include (but is not limited to) Japan, Baltic, Yakutia, North Korea and Lapland.
Government
The Angara Constiution, officially named The Articles of Angara, outlines an official form of government for Angara in the form of a constitutional republic. Each town within Angara has representatives, the number of which scale with the population of the town; all towns have 1 representative by default and gain an additional one for every 8 citizens that town gains. These representatives come together to form a government entity known as The Council. The more populous the town, the more impact it will have within The Council.
The purpose of The Council is to vote on pressing issues regarding Angara, and to ensure that the High Priest, the main leadership figurehead role, acts with integrity and in the best interest for Angara. The Council must come to at least a 66% consensus for decisions to be made. The Council currently consists of 18 Angara citizens.
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.
