Aurora:Denali (Nation)

Creation

On New Year's Eve 2024 (30 December 2024), 4 towns splintered off from Alaska due to political reasons. Alaska was on the brink of war with Katmai. Although the majority of the nation voted against it, the 4 towns carried resentment against it. They eventually made the independent nation of Denali to separate from Alaskan governance. These towns included Ruby (currently in Denali as of 29 July 2025), GoldCorp (currently in Bering Sea as of 29 July 2025), Bishop (currently in Alaska as of 29 July 2025), and Hooper Bay (no longer exists).

AloofJuice founded Ruby as the capital of Denali and it eventually began to grow. This led to Alaska losing the town of Nunivak, and having to set up more towns to regain the lost ones. After certain animosity between the two, relations later became cordial. Alongside, the capital of the Rocky_Mountains, after merging with Alaska, was soon kicked. This led to Dawnstar joining Denali under the leadership of 8set.

During a one-month hiatus where tuzzzie and Fruitloopins went on vacation, many Alaska towns joined Denali due to being left in the dark. Alaska's democratic ideals were crumbling. Soon, Denali became a massive nation, as compared to Alaska, and continued to grow. It was near this time in February of 2025 when Addychi01 joined Ruby. This hiatus however, led to a series of continuing and unfair events.

The Alaska-Denali War

When Fruitloopins and tuzzzie returned from their hiatus, they were shocked to find Alaska crumbling. It was here when BlizzardSnowy (leader of McKinley, also know as 8boom), 8set, AloofJuice, and StinkyAnson (mayor of Manifest Destiny) were banned for doxxing. It came to be known that tuzzzie was doxxed, and was sent a few items, some of which being a bottle of Baja Blast, and more famously, bleach.

Then and there, 8boom cut ties with the others and after a few months, confessed to doxxing on a EMC Discord Forum Post. He quit and cut off all contact. StinkyAnson was banned due to him coincidentally making a Baja Blast mapart (now with Addychi01) at that time. 8set and AloofJuice were banned for supposed involvement, but with their ticket not being answered for up to 100 days, it can be suggested that they were cleary falsely banned, and that CorruptedGreed (Staff Manager) did not wish to face the consequences.

Various other pieces of supposed evidence were found but were easily debunked and explained by 8set and AloofJuice. This banning however, started a war between Denali and Alaska. Alaska declared victory without declaring war and claimed that Denalis had been hunting Alaskan citizens and had "stolen" towns of theirs. This was obviously false and this actually started hunting among the two. tuzzzie quit EMC shortly after, after stating that it had become a "toxic place" now which she no longer enjoyed. Fruitloopins did not and at the time of writing this page, still does lead Alaska and is a moderator. (29 July 2025)

Syeriss and PoliticalAsbestos (who later joined North Alaska) emerged as two hated Alaskans after infiltrating the Denali discord and sending various hate and anti-Denali messages. He was banned alongside PoliticalAsbestos from the Discord, with Syeriss even being banned on his Discord account, having to make a new one he currently uses. Syeriss's town, ColorViler was then raided numerous times, as seen in the [of ColorViler].

Another hated Alaskan player was Lexis_Nexis (or LexisNexis, later JudexMaximus), due to his Alaskan support. He later joined Grouse (Cascadia) and spawn trapped JimPlayzMC and Addychi01, leading to other issues mentioned later. This resentment grew and with the leaders banned, Denali began to crumble. At the time of writing (29 July 2025), Denali's nation bonus has gone down to 30, from 100, and Alaska's has gone up to 100.

This war still continues with hate from both sides and constant town sniping, with no signs of peace coming any time soon.
