History
Avola was officially founded on September 16th, 2022 under the original name of White Rock by cheeseballfluffy after receiving the town from interim mayor jtwokay, whose motives were to retain the town for the nation of Cascadia until a rightful mayor was inaugurated. jtwokay inherited the town on the heels of the departure of wdym___, the former Avolan mayor and current Cuban. jtwokay held the town for only a few days as caretaker mayor, subsequently abstaining from altering the town from the previous administration. Today, Avola is largely under slow but steady construction.
Banff Insurrection
On March 5th, 2023, Avola's sister city Banff seceded from the nation to form a new capital, prompting Avola to sever ties with its western neighbor, while Cascadia declared Banff mayor EdgyIsRandom among others to be enemies of the state.
In response to an active claim arm campaign launched by Banff, Cascadian President Milgorn on March 14th funded Avola with 832 gold to bolster itself in an act of defensive claiming. Soon after an active demilitarized zone was established in between the two towns, peace talks concluded on March 16th with the Treaty of Banff being signed by Cascadian and Rocky Mountain officials. This officially recognized the Rocky Mountain Federation as a sovereign nation, albeit under direct colonial rule of Portugal, while additionally setting a border between Banff and Avola.
