Nova:Confederate States of America
| ||||||||||||||||
The Confederate States of America, or the C.S.A. (abbr.), is a nation on EarthMC led, since its foundation on the 29th of July, 2020, by President ColtonTopGun. The nation was initially named Deseret in-game, after the State of Deseret which existed from 1849-50 as a provisional state of the United States of America, and changed its name to the Confederate States of America (1861-65) later the same month - the exact date this decision was made is subject to speculation. The C.S.A. was created on Terra Nova, the predecessor to the current Terra Aurora server, and occupied the majority of the South, particularly Alabama, the location of its capital - Montgomery. After the creation of the new server, the nation formed the Fellowship of the South - a coalition of players, some of whom were members on Terra Nova, that amassed the gold required to create the new national spawn; on the 1st of June, 2022, said spawn was created at the capital of Richmond, Virginia. This coalition comprised of: XdEpicShmurf (Savannah, Georgia), Wyttie (Vicksburg, Mississippi), TheNoobyBlock (Annapolis, Maryland), cloverdeca (Columbia, South Carolina), GoldenBlock6654 (formerly Charleston, South Carolina), Thrillville109 (Raleigh, North Carolina), BBGAMER123 (Virginia Beach, Virginia), Nutshell_905 (Charleston, South Carolina - formerly Tampa, Florida), Nippy_Pawster (formerly Jacksonville, Florida) and ColtonTopGun (Richmond, Virginia). As of the 5th of September, 2022, the C.S.A. has 113 residents and has claimed 1432 chunks, the largest town being Vicksburg, Mississippi with 356 chunks.
History
This section is NOT optional, as it will end up being the bulk of your article. It is however lenient and not much has to be written, as long as it has some subdivisions. Subdividing should be done in longer, broader time periods, and then smaller specific ones. How long or short you want each period to be is totally up to you. At first, using only one subdivision if fine, but unlike player articles nations tend to have a lot of history so it's required to eventually add more. If you have trouble making more subdivisions or writing about the history of the town contact a mod.
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but it's better to use headings as intended. So for example:
Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group
And Sub-heading 2 for specifics
Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird
otherwise, feel free to write whatever history you want here
Heres an example:
Early History
Template1
After extensive talks with EchoOcelot Paperpikmin established a new German state in order to recreate the German nation. Initially, success was seen, with a new town established and Berlin regained. This slowed as Paperpikmin became incredibly busy off the server. Nonetheless, as November arrived the nation saw continued legitimacy and growth, however, it is slow due to the major towns of Leipzig and Hamburg proving an enormous obstacle. Many new alliances were quickly established, and diplomatic talks were made initially.
Template2
As you can see, it looks relatively neat when there is enough text in each subdivision, so this is the recommended route to take.
Government
It's important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.
Military
Additionally, it's important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that's another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.
Buildings
This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any "territory" it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.
Notable People
This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it's easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:
- Player 1
- Player 2
- WTF
- Player 3
National Subdivisions
This isn't required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it's more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it's at your discretion.
Other Recommended Headings
The following are not required but it's recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.
- Political Affiliation
- Political Parties
- Politics
- Economics (This may be made required depending on it's role in terra nova)
- Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)
- Maps
- Pictures
- Culture
- Navy (gl making this work though lol)
- Anything else that isn't ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki
