== History ==
==== Foundation ====
Mainyaim was founded on Day 1 by Angra Mainyu the Wicked, as a fort in the westernmost tip of Sicily known as "Lilibaya". Soon enough, Lilibaya expanded into a caananite temple, then a small farm, then a pen. The settlement was soon among the wealthier European regions, as this was a time dominated by the powerful Thugborean Alliance that kept the mediterranean in poverty.
=== Expansion ===
Lilibaya quickly allied itself with the Kingdom of Aragon in the Balearic Isles, and became an enemy of the Roman Republic since immediately after its foundation. The state, seeking to enrich itself further, founded the first town in server history in eastern sicily, giving the nation a short-lived monopoly on the diamond tool trade: Saraqusha.
Shortly after the expansion into eastern sicily, Lilibaya decided to expand south into Africa. Here, the nation built the at-the-time largest farm in the world in Tunisia. The state then decided to ban the Mediterranean Slave Trade, and threatened to shoot down any slaver ships which passed through cape bon or the straights of messana.
