The Shire

The Shire was a nation on season 1 of Scratch Empires. It was founded by player EpicCandleHolder as a nation for her and her friends. It is themed after the Shire from the Lord of The Rings trilogy. It is currently a protectorate of the ITSRAD empire, but is still mostly independent. The Shire has a strict building code, the only homes players are allowed to build are hobbit holes. 
==Major Conflicts==
===The Cobblestone House Incident=== 
Early on in the Shire's development, someone outside of the country built an ugly cobblestone house on top of a tree in the beautiful, undeveloped Shire countryside. It was swiftly removed by the authorities, the perpetrator never found.
===The Great Tree Stripping War===
It all started when Candle found a tree stripped off all it's bark. This irked her and she swiftly chopped down the tree. More stripped trees kept appearing, and Candle kept chopping them down. Then, someone stripped an entire patch of trees. Annoyed Candle had Shark look in the logs, what he found shocked her. The stripper was Mango, who wasn't even apart of the country.
