== History ==
=== End of Eldham ===
In January 2024, Stoney announced the discovery of an asteroid, and the finding of a new world. After this, Westport decided that it will continue into Abexilas as the Third Republic of Novastonia, as it has the strongest claim to the land. They created the Novastonia Space Agency to help move Novastonia over and to prepare Eldham for the end of the world, as well as establishing Novastonia in Abexilas. 
=== Queue Era (Mar 27, 2024 - Apr 16, 2024) ===
On March 27, the NSA rocket left from Westport to fly to Abexilas. Its original landing date was March 30, however, that was pushed to April 4, then to April 13, and attempted landings on April 14 and 15, but finally on April 16, the rocket landed, and the city of Astoria was founded, ending 11 months TO THE DAY of diaspora. 
=== The Beginning (Apr 16, 2024 - Jun 25, 2024) ===
==== Major Development ====
A few days later, the plans for Astoria were implemented and construction started on a HUGE tower, running from Y117 to sky limit (Y320). On April 20, StarBay (now part of Twin Dice Trading Co) was established on the northern side of the river. On April 22, Novastonia announced its existence, expanded its border, established a new company called Nova-Mart, and annexed the city of Dovmy near Novastonia. During late April and early May, they developed many cities & buildings such as the tower, StarBay Market, and the Saint Paulsburg rest area. 
==== Early Businesses & Grinding ====
The Third Republic of Novastonia was home to two businesses at the time, Novastonia Trading Company and StarWorks Studios. In early May 2024, the Astoria Arena was finished and fights started in the arena. The tower was decorated as the first floor was completed. StarBay started to grow into a beautiful market, holding three businesses at its peak.
==== May 19 "Techy Wechy" terror attack ====
A new player named “Techy Wechy” joined Novastonia on May 18, but only one day later executed the largest terror attack in Novastonian history, destroying the lava farm of Westport, stealing most items from the Westport Factory, setting the Port Greyhame lighthouse and bar on fire, and nationwide arson.
When Luke confronted him about it, Techy said that he was with a larger group that wanted to invade Novastonia for being “rich”. He then proceeded to call him a N__let and included an incredibly racist image. Stoneworks staff served Techy justice, and he was banned for 200+ days for racism and admitting to X-raying.
Percival fell into a coma on June 10, 2024. Pumice Fromulis, former count of Westport, took over all of Percival's Discord responsibilities. Luke Pogerston took most of the responsibility for the Minecraft portion, and Resamoc took over the construction of the tower. On June 10-11, Luke upgraded a lot of Novastonia's road network. On June 12, massive progress was made to the tower, with 6 workers building the second floor and starting work on the third.

After the departure of Percy, multiple districts were left without administrators, so Novastonia held its first election on June 20, 2024. They elected administrators in 6 out of the 9 districts of their capital, Astoria.

On June 29, 2024, Luke Pogerston released the following statement: “Just over 1 month after the TechyWechy terrorist attacks in Astoria, we have been attacked in Lavensburg. The attackers are FunGamer and AshPlayz_MC. Both players are now on our KOS list. The only intelligence we have is on FunGamer, who participated in the attacks. FunGamer was an NDF soldier and was begging for higher ranks, and now we know why. But, we never listened. FunGamer has been banned from Novastonia”

The government is a round-table government, where everyone has a role and they tackle what they are best at. The positions are the Heads of Lore, Diplomacy and Coordinator and the Upper and Lower Councils which vote on proposals. There is not a single head of state, but the heads act as the heads of state. The Head of Lore, held by Percival, plans out the lore and planning, The Head of Diplomacy, currently held by Percival, does all diplomacy, and the Head Coordinator, held by Luke Pogerston, takes care of internal issues. The Councils vote on proposals made by all government members, which require at least 51% to pass. The only difference between Upper and Lower at this time is that upper council positions are held by trusted people, and lower council positions are held by vassal leaders and inactive members.
