Butteria

Butteria is one of several countries on the server. It is the largest by land area and by population. It is home to the largest city on the server, Minehattan, New Mapia. It is seperated into three distinct states: New Mapia, Illinois, and San Andreas.
Butteria is owned and governed by delorean225, and is the oldest country on the server. It has had 4 incarnations over 4 different maps. It serves as a satirical representation of America.
Butteria is home to several server landmarks, including the American Idiot Statue, Katieland Resort, and the Server 9/11 Memorial.
== History ==
Butteria was founded on Map 4, when delorean225 wanted to build a city in creative mode. He founded the first form of Minehattan in this map, which was known for its two sports stadiums and its shopping mall. In each subsequent map, Minehattan has been the first city to be constructed.
After the corruption of the map, Minehattan was rebuilt in what is considered its worst incarnation: It cut directly into the surrounding land without consideration for naturalization and was sparsely populated. This map was taken down during The Great Server Shutdown of 2013, however, and Minehattan was lost. When the server returned, it reformed yet again into its third variant. This version of Minehattan was its second largest and featured many buildings that would later return in its current state. It was during this time that Butteria suffered the Aqua_Splash Attacks, and it was this Minehattan that was damaged in the griefing.
In 2014, the map was changed again on account of JPLemme failing to renew the server on time, and Minehattan was rebuilt into its current and largest form. This also marked the first time that Butteria grew into multiple cities, with the Butterian Transcontinental Highway being constructed in 2016 and a new city project in San Andreas currently being built.
Today, Butteria is a nation largely undeveloped, but new projects are constantly springing up to fill out its large amounts of open land.

== Geography ==
Butteria's landmass is mostly forests and plains, with other biomes such as mesas strewn throughout. It has many bodies of water running through it, some of which form rivers and some of which form swampland. Most of the country is undeveloped, save for the transcontinental highway that runs through it. Butteria is also home to a chain of mountains, located in the state of San Andreas.
Butteria shares its landmass with Rajai, and the two countries are connected via a highway with a border station. There is no land dispute between the two countries at this time. Off the coast of the city of Minehattan is Skycity, which owns the airspace above the city.
== Politics ==
Butteria's government is a constitutional monarchy.
Delorean225 serves as Butteria's president, although the office is not elected, making the position more monarch-like. The country previously held elections for the office of Vice President, but this office has since been shuttered on account of inactivity.
=== Law ===
Butteria does not have an established code of law, as the country is owned by the server's administrator and therefore does not need outside laws within its borders. Crime and punishment in Butteria is handled at server courts for the same reason. 
=== Diplomatic Relationships ===
Butteria has a policy of neutrality and therefore does not have military allegiance with any other countries. It has strong political ties to Skycity, and is on good terms with every other major country on the server.

* McCrafty's World Headquaters
