[[File:NoTown, Nov 24, 2020.png|thumb|NoTownAn amongearly thepicture iceof burgsNoTown inamong the frozenicebergs ocean(As of Nov 24th, 2020) |left]]Nowhere, Originally NoTown (which was a town founded by user ThePit_ on November 19th, 2020), is a small town located South West of [[Archive:HighTide|HighTide]] and North East North of 0,0.
 
The town consists of a single island housing a large castle standing tall among the ice burgs in the frozen ocean around it. Inside the castle are small stone, cobblestone andesite and stone brick houses with spruce plank roofing. Nowhere wasis apart of thea Federationmember of Arith, formally the FCA ([[Free Cities of Alathra]]) , however this was not intended as the currentformer leader and owner of Nowhere, GrimTheRedWolfIsenhiem, wished for the town to stay independent from any other nation.
 
==History==
Line 20 ⟶ 23:
Between March and April 2021, ThePit_ abandoned Fort Gillamore, leaving NoTown to go bankrupt and thus become dissolved.
=== Abandonment===
From April to May 2021, Fort Gillamore remained abandoned, falling prey to looters. During this time, many of the buildings deteriorated from the ransacking as well as from the passage of time.
 
===Mausia===
On May 21, 2021, TNT_Shooter42 founded the town of Mausia, taking up residence on a nearby iceburg and claiming Fort Gillamore as a potential expansion area. However, on May 31, Mausia failed to pay its upkeep, and thus was also dissolved.
===The FCA and the AIP===
After Mausia's downfall, the Free Cities of Alathra tentatively considered annexing Fort Gillamore as a southern outpost. However, these plans were complicated when the [[Alathran Independent Press]], also noting Mausia's downfall, decided to set up their headquarters there. After tense negotiations between Head Scribe Zaktoslph and Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349, the AIP decided to move their headquarters elsewhere, leaving Fort Gillamore abandoned once again.

===The creation of Nowhere===

===King The FoA Isenheim===

When the FCA split into the Kingdoms of Arith and the Federation of Arith, Nowhere decided to stick to HighTide. However, on August 22nd, Nowhere made the move of leaving the FoA. After a threat of war from Elyria and other matters going on with Grim and the Nation, he swiftly left. During the announcement he also made mention of an upcoming party after the War.

It's not clear exactly what happened after this, even though it was a major chain of events in Nowhere's history, but it ended with Nowhere falling back into disrepair.

Nowhere was refounded by HansJG05 on Febuary 3rd 2022 with help from [[Archive:Free Cities of Alathra|F.C.A.]] Senator Fred_Book
 
Overtime new members would join and leave Nowhere and eventually Nowhere would face heavy redesign and construction as the new members attempted to fix the damage of Nowhere's past
 
Eventually Nowhere would construct a dockyards which would house one unknown FCA Oceanliner and a recently commissioned Free Cities Navy (FCN) warship "F.C.N. Nowhere"
