New_Southampton, officially named New Southampton and formerly known as South_Shetland, was a town in Terra Aurora, and was a part of SGSSI.

History

New Southampton was founded as South_Shetland on 6 January 2023 by CoprotGolem. Some structures were built on the island, but it remained inactive for a few months until AdmiralArrow was gifted ownership of the town by Subensky on 6 November 2023. AdmiralArrow renamed the town to New Southampton, after the city of Southampton, United Kingdom, and immediately joined SGSSI, the nation he had previously resided in. Soon after, AdmiralArrow moved the town from the island of South Shetland to the island of Clarence. The town was expanded later that month, with houses built on Elephant Island and a bridge constructed to connect the two islands, modelled after the Old Redbridge in Southampton, United Kingdom. Soon after, the Horns Inn was constructed, a replica of the pub of the same name in Rownhams, Southampton.

New Southampton was part of the Polar Republic, as a member of SGSSI, from its foundation until 27 November 2023, when the towns and residents of SGSSI unanimously voted to withdraw from the union.

Abandonment

New Southampton was abandoned around 13 June 2024, after a long period of decline and inactivity. At its peak in December 2023, New Southampton had three residents and covered an area of 48 chunks.

Present day & future plans

New Southampton currently sits abandoned, with no person, town or nation claiming the land it once stood on as of 8 January 2025. On Clarence Island, the Horns Inn still stands along with the unfinished apartment block, Millbrook Towers. On Elephant Island, a few houses remain along with the old mine, which predates the rest of the structures on the island.

Government

New Southampton has no government as it is currently abandoned. When the town existed, AdmiralArrow made all decisions by himself, occasionally hearing feedback from his loyal resident and right-hand man Backdude. New Southampton was loyal to the SGSSI, which it was part of from the town's foundation through to its abandonment. As such, New Southampton was loyal to King Porbei.
