not much is known about the dark times before Fossores. It was a time of ancient wars in the east, with massive armies launched against each other endlessly, but no surviving records remain of the west. New Anglia was by far the least developed continent, featuring next to nothing, but, at the time, would remain sheltered from other international affairs, with nobody to speak for the continent as a whole. In retrospect, it seems amazing that the other nations did not place any outposts on the fledgling continent. However, do not think that it was all peace. Within the continent there was constant power struggle and small scale wars between nations with barely 4-5 army members. The whole continent was very much politically unstable, which may have been because of the cultural mix between areas that became too great. We know the major players were the black spades and the Manchester empire, who stood at a whopping two towns tall (a massive step up for the continent). It was here, next to the black spades, that Mineopolis would be formed.

- Fossores is currently not at war with anybody, but has a strong alliance with Aquendavia occupied USA. They have an NAP with Elyria and used to have an agreement with FCA that was nearing an alliance. However, that is all changed with the rebellion and now Fossores has no relation with them.
-Fossores has an alliance with Mega's nation of Manchester, in return for all of Manchesters territories as he is on vacation elsewhere in the land. Fossores agreed to this under the condition that manchester be organized under Fossore and follow all Fossore law. Upon his return three weeks later the territories that were Manchester would be reformed.
-Mega returns from his vacation early under rumors of a sunken ship, Mega demands return of all of his territories. Fossore returns the Manchester land, however certain areas had new Fossore towns founded and were then divided as was law in Fossore to own a territory surrounding their town. Manchester and Fossores now have land disputes in the south New Anglia Sea, primarily the town of Delphi, IdioticSkoops town in the north-western desert, and Blocksburgs outpost on the Hive (Currently classified information).
-Manchester and Fossores agree to pay $100,000 for the land of the far western desert, and give up some areas of the disputed towns official territories.
-Manchester annexes Beograd and New Bradford , historically Fossoriean towns, This is the spark that stokes the flames of fear in Fossores, one that feared living under fascist rule.
-Fossores assassinates the autocrat in the middle of the night, demolishing Mega's war room, and stockpile. Also halted payment on the $$150,000.

Governmental Institutions
Certain rights all people have that the government cant infringe on
== The Flag of Rights ==
This is the official flag of Fossores, settled on the 10th of August. The original template of the base, the cross and the sun was settled on the 8th, but the final, famous colors were decided on the same day it was made official. The creator was FriendedCape. He got the colors from the banners hanging on the outside of the main road in Whitehaven, where FriendedCape was doing some infrastructure work. It is said that when shown to Falcon and Flat face, they instantly fell in love with the imagery of the red being the mesa, the white being the tundra and the yellow being the desert. This was the double meaning of the flag. Cape settled on the name by considering the fact that Fossores is one of the only democratic continental superpowers, and envisioned a future where anybody who felt oppressed under other regimes could flock to for freedoms. If there is an incident where there is no sun banner template a yellow dot may be used
== Ideals and Culture ==
the cultures of Fossores have been as dynamic as our citizens. Originally, we were forced into a state of militarism and hostility against the Black Spades, as our very independence was threatened. In fact, we most likely would have never grown if it weren't for the Nabil accords and the golden expansion. We were focused on defense and military upgrading, as well as rapid growth across the continent. The big turning point was the war in the far east; the war in New Reno. When we lost we were put into a deep setback. All local economies collapsed, all hope for growth was dashed. The early Fossores golden age was destroyed before it even began. We had been a continental superpower, the first real one in New Anglia, but all that stopped. Our culture became more focused on rebuilding, but also depression and hope. Then came the second Golden age. The rebirth occurred and Fossores was put back into the cockpit of New Anglian politics. With the handover of the Manchester empire, and the growth in the west and north, we soon returned to former glory. However, we knew to be more careful. Our militarism and hostility, and eagerness to war, we realized, were not only damaging to the fledgling nation, but also morally wrong. We made a public statement about returning to our peaceful roots, and have since been largely tucked away from Alathran politics. We are focused on development, freedom, diplomacy, internal cohesion, and protecting the homeland and helping out other smaller towns by bringing them into the nation. There is a saying the people in Nabilzahir used to mention about the nation: Equality, liberty, freedom, the ideals of human. From city to city, Nabilzahir is known for its defensive nature, often trying to stay in its wall, whereas Mineopolis' culture is one of patriotism, but also an even higher emphasis on freedom than anywhere else, shown by its extremely low tax rates, and the wide range of architecture. Ezra is known for its followings of Notchism, and being the cultural heartland of Shemites. Blocksburg is known for housing the most extravagant peoples, and also the land of mass production, and revering profits. Whitehaven focusses architectural perfection, and beauty, but also democracy. It is by far the most quiet and peaceful city. Beograd believes hospitability, and has a very different architectural style to anything else in Alathra. Nunakuluannukput has ideals of survival and pride, whilst Warsiawsaka and Holle port believe in peace, and have a much more idillic lifestyle in farming.
== Location ==
==== Extreme Northern Belt ====
The extreme northern belt consists of the northernmost city of Nunakuluannukput and Beograd Ne Moru. Nunakuluannukput is the most northern nation in the empire, and is in the cold depths of the snowy tundra. Beograd is on the coast as a beach city, and features pretty concrete villas.
==== Extereme Western Belt ====
Holle Port and Warsiawsaka are the extreme western cities. Warsiawsaka is in a clearing on the banks of a river, and holle port in the fertile clearing south of the tundra, making it the second northernmost city of the nation
==== Central Belt ====
the central belt is the most prominent belt in the nation, featuring the capitol, Mineopolis, the democratic city of Whitehaven and Blocksburg, the industrial heartland of the nation. Mineopolis features a mix of different architectures, whilst Whitehaven is a calm and ordered architectural view. There were plans to rebuild Mineopolis with high rise buildings and has been adopted. New plans feature the Blockburg planned skyscraper as the main residential in the city
==== Southern Belt ====
the southern belt consists of Ezrael, the gold heartland, Kings landing, the location of a meeting point between the end and the overworld, Qarth, a small settlement in the desert, and Nabilzahir, the cultural heartland of the south. Nabilzahir is also the most tumultuous city in the south, having been occupied by 4 different nations in 3 weeks. both Ezrael and Nabilzahir feature sand brick building with rooftop gardens, but Nabilzahir also features the golden palace, a shining remnant of a previous time. there are currently plans to renovate it into a gallery of sorts, but nothing official has been discussed yet. Nabilzahir also sits in an oasis in the desert, whilst Ezrael sits in a mesa.
==== Deep Southern Belt ====
The town of Delphi is the only town in the deep south belt. it is situated on an island making it easy to defend.
= History =
== The Bloody Beginnings ==
[[File:Capture3.png|thumb|right|The heads of some of the dead after the Mineopolis Massacre.]]
==== Mineopolis Massacre====
On July 14, 2021, the city of Mineopolis was attacked unprovoked by TheAlphaDemon58. He killed nearly all of the citizens. They attacked him with all of their might and did nearly no damage. This would spark a bloody tension between the Fossores Republic and The Black Spades.
==== Mineopolis Occupation ====
On July 15, 2021, at 4:00 PM CDT, two citizens from Mineopolis had a terrible idea to try to attack The Black Spades after their nation was disbanded. This lead to them retaliating and occupying the town for about 30 minutes. The leader of The Manchester Empire went to Mineopolis and tried to deescalate the situation. War was extremely close to occurring and back-up from multiple other nations was in-bound on Mineopolis to prepare to defend it. Peace talks were held shortly after to help resolve this situation entirely and avoid a bloody war.
==== Nabil Accords ====
On July 15, 2021, at 6:00 PM CDT the Nabil Accords were signed and 1 week of peace was declared.
== The First Golden Age ==
==== The Golden Expansion ====
On July 19, 2021, Ezra joined the nation of Mineopolis and coming with it, its massive supplies of gold along with the land to the North. This date also marks the middle of Fossores' major and fast expansion on the continent. This marks Fossores as a Continental Super Power.[[File:FossoresArmy.png|thumb|The army of Fossores after the skirmish.]]
==== The Battle of Golden Palace ====
On July 20, 2021, Fossores got to test the strength of their newly organized military. At first, Megadalon was attacked by watchoftartarus (King of Faron) out of nowhere. watchoftartarus (Part of the FCA) attacked mega and right after he called up the military. Within 60 seconds, 4 soldiers arrived and within 5 minutes 12 soldiers arrived ready to fight for the republic. Only about 1/3 of the total Fossores Republic army arrived. they were quickly pushed out and overwhelmed.
== The Dark Ages ==
==== The Battle of New Reno ====
On July 22, 2021, citizens from Elyria started to attack the Fossore ally of the USA. The whole Fossores Republic military responded to this act of aggression. This was the first true battle that Fossores had fought. It was a painful destruction of not just the USA, being handed over to Aquendavia, but also a destruction of Fossores morale and belief that they could be a continental superpower. The nation lost all of its gear, and any economies, reliant on the now nonexistent wealth of the nations citizens collapsed. This set Fossores into a deep economic depression.
==== the netherite rush ====
with so many once rich players collapsed, now was the perfect time for new players to assert themselves in the nation. This led to a massive, untaxed, uncontrolled netherite mining operation in the nether. because Fossores had not expected this their tax rate was very low (averaging 5%), like any struggling nation. The mining was so lucrative because the west was not as developed, meaning that Fossores could jump on the empty netherite plains and capitalize. This kickstarted the second golden age
== The Renaissance (Second Golden Age) ==
==== The Rebirth ====
On July 24, 2021, the grave economic depression has ended. The Manchester Empire fell and the territory was given to Fossores. Massive growth of Fossores that has never been seen in history occurred. The country will make sure that this level of growth is continued. With the current level of growth, Fossores is on track to overtake Ashina in the population and development areas.
==== The Rise of the Ultra-wealthy ====
On July 25, 2021, the Fossores Republic is having a major expansion and this is causing some players to become ultra-wealthy. They control nearly 15% of the server's total wealth. This is partly due to the massive and uncontrolled netherite mining industry in Fossores. Due to the tax policy in Fossores, almost none of their money goes towards the state to provide basic functions. This has caused an expansion in wealth in a few. This has caused mass inequality within the nation with only a couple of players controlling the majority of the wealth.
== The Internal Struggle ==
==== Reclaiming of the Manchester Empire ====
On July 27, 2021, The Manchester Empire was revived under its leader Megadalon with a new name; the Mandem nation. This was to the disgruntle of many citizens of the new Mandem Empire. A few days later the nation would undergo a coup and the new leader Megadalon would place the nation under a harsh fascist rule. They also annexed Beograd and placed an offshore city of New Bradford along the coast, the former that was claimed by Fossores. This would lead to an unsolvable tension between the two nations
==== The Beograd Occupation & The Great Betrayal ====
On July 28, 2021, the leader of The Mandem Nation took the town of Beograd without consulting The Fossores Republic. This lead to an explosive increase in tensions among former allies. As Mandem laid claim to more Fossore land and negotiations broke down, it was highly suspected the emperor himself was planning an invasion of Fossore. To prevent this, The F.R.A. immediately sent in a strike team whose goal was to take out the power-hungry despot of Nabilzahir and remove their weapons and armor. The strike occurred in the dead of night as a fighter squadron flew over the walls of Nabilzahir quietly taking control of key points along the walls. The rest of the strike team then located Megaladon and assassinated him taking his armory and forcing the deposed tyrant to flee to Elyria. They would then realize how weak and under constructed Nabilzahir really was, being largely abandoned.
==== The Nabilzahir dark age ====
It was here that Megaladon made his crucial mistake. Thinking he had stoked the flames of war between Elyria and Fossore he sold total control of his lands to the Elyrians, while not disclosing he was currently at war with Fossore. This proved to be a fatal flaw, however, as Fossore had secretly signed a N.A.P. with Elyria a few days prior. After a diplomatic meeting with the Elyrians agreed to hand over all of the former Mandem Nations claims to Fossore for the price of $80,000. Megadalon was then forced to stand trial.
To much rejoice of the citizens of the former Mandem nation, the town of Beograd was reincorporated into Fossore, and the town of Nabilzahir was also incorporated as an equal standing town into the nation.
==== The Whitehaven Court massacre ====
Whilst it is hard to understand what happened on the fateful day of Megadalons trial, there are a few sources that tell of the bloodbath. At some point during the trial, which was clearly not going great for Megadalon and even suggested execution or exile, he attacked the people in the court. The death count is unknown, but is suspected to be a large amount. Megadalon then made his escape where he would teleport to New Bradford. The owner of New Bradford, unknowing of the tragedies in the court, geared Megadalon up with iron armor when he discussed becoming a bandit in hiding. On the sunset of that day, they drank a final red wine together and sat looking at the sunset, talking about whether there were any hopes for the Mandem empire. The New Bradford leader ultimately made the choice to be incorporated into the nation, and the 3-4 day long tensions were extended into a one week time to place the leader of New Bradford as the leader of Nabilzahir. New Bradford was abandoned as an idea, amidst fears it would trigger the NAP between Elyria and Fossores, and considering how that went originally, there was no want for that. Megadalon still sends empty threats every now and again, in a desperate bid for fame. Later on it was suspected that Megadalons birthplace was New Bradford, and there are currently debates over whether to completely burn it or not. Megadalon now lives in the tiny isle of New Heisenburg.
== The Infrastructure Revolutions ==
==== The Fossore Constitution ====
On July 29, 2021, with a unanimous vote from the people the Fossore Constitution was officially ratified as the sole founding political document of the Republic.
[[File:FossoresInfactructurePlan.png|thumb|The Fossores infactructure plan.]]
==== The Great Connection ====
on the 30th of July the plans for many highways and canals to connect the continents was officially shown. They will connect the cities to each other, allowing for easy movement of goods and for beginner players to easily and cheaply move across the continent
==== The Great Privatization ====
On July 31, 2021, all former public farms were transferred over to private corporations to be farmed. This is so the output is increased and to help decrease the amount of nationalized productions. Part of the decision to do this was from the fact that the average person could actually afford to buy products. This will help grow the economy faster than it was previously. The only real exception to the rule is Nabilzahir, which was originally semi-socialist, with a lack of sold properties or specifically owned goods/ any economy. since they are so behind the rest of the empire towns of its size, due to the previous events in its tumultuous past, it will take time to follow suit
==== The Industrial Revolution ====
On August 3, 2021, the first factory in Blocksburg began construction. It's meant to mass produce all types of 4-5 star alcohol, which is extremely profitable. It will also create many new jobs and opportunities for the players and citizens of Fossores. Many more factories are in the works to begin construction in a new industrial park. These are meant to boost the production of Fossores to launch it into the next era. These also cement Blocksburg as the industrial center of Fossores
==== The Fall of the Mineopolis Wall ====
On August 7, 2021, the Mineopolis Wall was torn down. It was originally built during darker, bloodier times against what were much stronger nations continuously threatning the integrity of the nation. The government felt there was no need for a wall anymore, as there is no threat to Mineopolis on this continent. This marks the final scar of the Dark Ages Being removed.
[[File:Mineopolis Zoning Plan.png|thumb|The Mineopolis zoning plan.]]
==== The Great Mineopolis Re-development. ====
On August 9, 2021, StampymaxUSA (Flat Face) laid out a map with a plan on the new buildings of Mineopolis. There will be one densely populated residential area, one moderately densely populated area and several other more suburban areas. The bank will be moved and the peoples assembly torn down and reassembled along the lake shore.
'''The Twin Forts Development'''
suggested by FriendedCape of Nabilzahir the twin forts are two forts designed to be mutually cooperative. The plan is to connect the river Mine and the river polis to put Mineopolis on an island, giving it a massive defense. This would also create a semi-island, called the Mineopolis delta, between the canal that leads to Nabilzahir and the new connection. Here a fortress could be created, ensuring that invasions from the north, west or south can be defended, protecting the waterway of the canal from invasions, but also allowing the canal to be used as a last ditch retreat to either fall back onto Mineopolis, sail quickly to Whitehaven, Blocksburg, or Nabilzahir, or retreat from Mineopolis if the city is overrun. It would also provide crucial vision in the area. This fort would be called Mineopolis' Dike. The second fortress would be on the Arleen Hill north west of Mineopolis' Dike. This fort would have natural high ground, providing an easy retreat from Blocksburg or Whitehaven. The hill is also naturally hard to climb and the plans are to make this a much bigger fortress, with a sprawling castle and farms within to support long sieges. The fortress would ultimately mostly protect from a northern invasion to the southern heartland, but the fortress doesn't have to be used as a siege point. The plan is to also have it as a resupply line for skirmishes, to respawn and have an abundance of food and armor. The second fortress will be named hugeliger Schlutzer. The two fortresses would be so close together that it would be easy to fall back from one to the other, depending on the situation, and also puts a natural radius of defense covering the cities of Whitehaven, Blocksburg and Mineopolis.
==== The Cartographical Realization ====
On August 15, 2021, marks the official point Fossore became globally recognized (12 august). Before this the nation was looked upon as an infant into geopolitical affairs and often missed out on vital trade routes. The only notable one they have at the moment is with Lydoneia. This meant Fossores was forced to conduct internal trade. This is to be expected, as Fossores was a tiny three city state crammed into the middle of the busy Anglian continent only a week ago. The powers which had taken months to grow were being outshined by Fossores who had grown in the span of seven days to a continental superpower to the likes of Elyria, Aquendavia and the other continental superpowers. It was on August 15th when Flat Face came to redraw the borders that it was figured out the Fossores is the 4th largest nation (for reference it is only the 4th biggest continent). They control 20% of the global markets and it is not a coincidence that their rapid growth marks the beginning of the international era of economic redevelopment after the crash of June following the largest wars in history.
== The Megadalon threat ==
==== The Megadalon Imposing ====
At around 10:00 (GMT), Megadalon of New Britannia Bay realised that FriendedCape, originally a friend of mega's, was leader of his old town Nabilzahir. He demanded this back, and when refused, threatened To assassinate him. Multiple people rushed to FriendedCapes aid, but it was ultimately unnecessary. Whilst at Judea over a business deal, he was informed that mayor goodvibes had been asked to kill Cape. When he refused, he asked cape to go to New Britannia and kill Megadalon for them, for $5. They would both then make the long and dangerous trek to New Britannia from final rest.
==== The talks ====
At some time later when Cape and GoodVibes arrived at New Britannia bay, megadalon had somehow been able to notice their intrusion. He was found cowardly hiding in his house where he could not be touched. Goodvibes would then leave, and a long talk was held between Mega and Cape, which was heated. Megadalon requested for full control over nabilzahir and its secession, and argued that Cape had been played. Cape bode his time, messaging VP Arrested Zeus over the conflict. He soon arrived and discussed with mega. He was most shocked at megas uncontrolled use of hitmen, which King _SHS_ was then notified of. Zeus gave mega a stern warning to never cross onto east anglia again and left
==== The unlawful Attack. ====
Megadalon, unwilling to listen, entered Nabilzahir and was killed by the combined forces of Governor FriendedCape, VP Arrested Zeus, Dann and MrPug. He was murdered repeatedly for about 5 minutes, during which he fell into crazy rants about him being a "Idea" that could not be killed, and accusing Fossores of being an unlawful democracy. Everybody killed him twice, sharing in whatever would happen next. Arrested Zeus promised to take this up in government. Overall only 1/15th of the army was required. He never got past the walls.
== The Great War ==
==== The Start of the Great War ====
On August 19, 2021, Elyria formally declare war on the FOA. Due to a secret mutual defense pact that was signed a few days earlier in preparations for this conflict a total of 6 other powerful nations declared war on Elyria at the same time. All major active powers are against Elyria due to their previous actions over the past few days. This conflict will be very long and very bloody. This war will be the biggest war on Alathra's history with over 40 players who will be fighting on either side.
== Notable landmarks ==
==== Golden Palace ====
the golden palace is located in Nabilzahir. In the Manchester Golden Age, this was where the King turned Fascist dictator Megadalon ruled over the city. It features the meeting room where the Nabil accords were signed and the dungeons where goods are held for the public. It is also the only properly constructed housing of Nabilzahir
==== Golden Wall ====
the golden wall is in Nabilzahir. It has ironically never actually protected from invasion, despite the bloody history of the town.
==== industrial Park ====
The industrial park is located in Blocksburg, the industrial heartland. At the moment it is the first step by the nation to produce infrastructure economically. It is owned by the Mineopolis Holdings company, and is planned to house three factories of wood, brew and smelting. There are plans to expand throughout the nation. Construction began 3rd August/ 2nd August 2021
==== Mineopolis Holdings Brewery ====
currently staffed by just MrPug, the wisest in the Fossores nation on drinks, the Brewery is the first factory in the industrial park. It produces very high quality meads for relatively low prices.
==== Mineopolis Holdings Skyscrapers ====
the first being opened in Mineopolis, this was the first purchase by Mineopolis Holdings. It is about 6 chunks of land and is planned to be a massive skyscraper with an estimated cost of about 6000. The idea is to have cheap housing for beginners. Construction will end on the 15/08/21 (British date system).
==== McFlats fast food ====
Bought on August 8, Mc Flats is a fast food chain serving steak and golden carrots similar to Shepeyes.
==== Mineopolis Banks ====
Mineopolis banks was set up to provide IOU's to the government. It sits in the center of mineopolis as a dark oak building
==== Governmental Plaza ====
This is a plaza where the governors can meet to discuss issues surrounding the nation.
== Collapse ==
[[File:New Anglian National Borders.png|alt=The national borders on New Anglia following the collapse of the first republic of Fossore, following the Great War|thumb|New Anglian National Borders]]
Unfortunately, the Fossore republic collapsed and shattered prematurely following its involvement in the Great war. This was due to a multitude of reasons, primarily the large loss of life, gear and fortunes lost in the great war, as well as the crumbling of several of their former global allies. Perhaps another reason involves the internal strife the nation was facing, as Delphi and Nanukapult entered the nation several political parties began operating within the government, not only the Constitutional Federalists the original Fossore party. Because of this there was more and more debate as Fossore was crumbling in the wake of the great war. In the end it was decided to divide up all town provincial borders into nations, with some nations in the south and west banding together to form [[Eshellic confederation]]. This marks the end of the first Fossores Republic, this era is also known as [[The Great Fracture]].
