History
Early History
AghastBlock first settled off the coast of Finland and built a boat house. He wanted to create a town in Finland, but he didn't have enough gold to create one.
(June 7, 2021 - July 26, 2021)
After deciding where to settle permanently, AghastBlock decided to settle in Northern Finland and created the town of Finnish_Inquis. The town was established on June 7, 2021 after Aghast had voted for a week to gather gold for the town. The town grew quickly with the help of Aghast's friend, AimForNorth_. A few days later, Finnish_Inquis. joined Finland.
AghastBlock had proposed to AimForNorth_ about creating a nation. After telling AimForNorth_ that creating a nation costs 1024 gold, he told Aghast that it was impossible and that he would never get that much gold by the end of the summer.
Founding of the Nation
There was a gold drop that was being held in Britain. Not missing his chance to get rich, Aghast went to the drop party. At first, he wasn't getting that lucky, only getting 1 gold block in the first few minutes. After a couple of impatience minutes, Aghast had kept getting larger and larger amounts of gold blocks and, eventually, he had racked up 2 stacks and 43 gold blocks. As soon as he spawned back at his town, he waited until night and deposited the 1024 gold needed to make a nation into the town bank, He made the Sámi flag and made a flagpole, and finally created the nation of Lapland. He took a screenshot in front of the flagpole, and was happy he finally created a nation.

TraumaSoft Era
Aghast's friend Argues, who had a town in Norway called Holstein asked Aghast if he wanted his town. Aghast said sure, so Aghast had to transfer being mayor of Finnish_Inquis. to his friend, the_crakken so he would be able to absorb Holstein into Lapland. He joined Holstein, and Argues transfered the mayorship to Aghast. Eventually, Argues' friend TraumaSoft wanted the town because he was the one who created and named the town, so Aghast transfered the mayorship to TraumaSoft. Aghast was still the leader of Lapland when he joined Holstein, the capital was just moved because he had joined Holstein. Since he transfered the nation to TraumaSoft, TraumaSoft immediately became the leader of Lapland.
