History

Early history

About the town founder

The current mayor and founder of the town, AlmightyWindows (Polish by nationality), first joined the server on October 2. After spending a while just looking around, he decided to join New Orthinia, a town in Israel. But quickly, AlmightyWindows realized that living there was not for him, and he decided to try and create his own town in Poland. He contacted the mayor of Częstochowa, SkyMoon1427, and he was allowed to live in Kielce. Later, he applied to Kielce's mayor, rocky300, for a loan to found a town. His request was granted due to the fact that Danzig, a German town north-west of Gdańsk, was due to fall in three days. As Gdańsk was the only significant Polish city with sea access, all the parties involved realized that this was of major strategic importance to the nation of Poland.

The foundation of Pomorze and it's early days

Thanks to the generous loan of about 800 gold, the town of Pomorze was founded on October 6, around 16:00 CEST. Most of the money from the loan was used to quickly claim chunks along the seaboard. Fortunately to Pomorze, rocky300 allowed that only 1/3 of the loan must be repaid, and the last bits of money were sent to him on November 5. After the foundation, AlmightyWindows's friend, Beyonderboi, has joined the town as the second-in-command. Then, both of them started to level terrain. This grueling work lasted for about two weeks until all of the claimed terrain was leveled to sea level. Then, the construction could start - the first building constructed was the old mayor house, constructed back in the town founding days as a temporary mayor shelter. The house and it's surroundings are now a part of the Skansen Pomorski (Pomeranian Heritage Park). On October 11, the first metro station in the city was opened, with a connection to Gdańsk completed two days later. The original station building was demolished and replaced by a stone brick made sculpture that now proudly occupies the Plac Centralny (Central Square).

October 2022

The mayor of Pomorze, AlmightyWindows, has been very active (together with the mayors of Rzeszów and Olsztyn) in the national metro system's expansion. During October, a metro loop from Central Poland passing through Pomorze and the ruined town of Radzioszyn, along with two stations (one recently rebuilt) have been constructed in and around Pomorze. The first undersea metro tunnel in Central Europe has also been built, reaching to Mieszko Island (Bornholm in-game). Also in October, the nation of Aland tried to separate the claims of Pomorze from the claims of Gdańsk by founding a town on the Baltic coast, called Pakruojis. Fortunately, the mayors of Pomorze and Gdańsk managed to claimblock the town, and Pakruojis was deleted before Aland managed to make any serious use of it. Nowadays, all of the former territory of Pakruojis has been turned into the Ogród Pokrojski (Pakruojis Garden) - a city park just north of the spawn.
