The Republic of Solaria

## Early History and Founding

### Founding

The modern Republic of Solaria was initially founded by AB1807, Vault\_Destroyer and Floppa\_Deluxe, who was unaffiliated at the time but owned a cabin in what is now Mount Celeste. After settling at Floppa's cabin, Vault\_Destroyer and AB1807 began work to expand agricultural and livestock infrastructure to overcome constant food shortages. The very steep terrain of Mount Celeste made it difficult to terraform and build on, leading to many farms being built on the coast or within parts of the mountain. After initial settlement, individuals such as Kasper\_2004, OlympianPlate, KaiserKannon and NeonLikesBurritos joined the group. At the time, the nation was named The Anarchist Republic of Solaria (ARS).

### Floppa vs New Player Conflict

FloppaDeluxe initially settled his cabin to seek refuge from the rest of the server and live by his lonesome. He did not take kindly to the presence of tower farms, paved roads ugly animal farms and mouments built on the otherwise majestic scenary of Mount Celeste. This led to many back and forths between Vault\_Destroyer and Floppa. Eventually, Floppa went to the mainland to settle with PheonixPop, renovating his house. This left his cabin abandoned, and it was later appropriated and put up for sale by Grey\_Spirit as part of the Solaria Housing Project.

### Rebranding from Anarchist Republic of Solaria (ARS) to Republic of Solaria (RS)

Due to ongoing conflicts between Hopping Hills and the ARS, many people were confused as to how the server already managed to accumulate three anarchist nations, despite Solaria specifically outlining they were leftist anarchist, a form of republican government that minimizes the force of violence of the government over it's subject. This confusion led to an eventual rebrand to the Republic of Solaria and also coincided with RS finally giving up claims to the western desert protectorate as part of its new isolationist policy and non-involvement in foreign affairs.

### ARS-Hopping Hills Desert Conflict

Hopping Hills had existing claims to the Western desert which contains jungle trees, cocoa and oases that would sustain life on an otherwise uninhabitable, mob-infested continent. The construction of a fort on the western part of the desert, known to the ARS as the Desert Protectorate, aggravted conflict with Okami\_HD, the main resident of the desert and member of Hopping Hills. This led to a conflict where Vault\_Destroyer was eventually confronted by Zuhm and Less2Do at the Desert Protectorate. Vault\_Destroyer contacted Okami\_HD and told him he'd give up the desert claims and grant Okami a permenant visa to Solaria if he helped him, since Vault at this point was strongly undergeared and outmatched. Okami agreed, but when the fight came to pass did not jump in to save Vault who was swiftly killed by Zuhm after being set ablaze and unable to escape through the docks due to his frost walker boots. Okami alleges he meant to jump in and help but after seeing Vault immediately get crit out, decided to stay out of the battle to preserve his own life . This event led Vault\_Destroyer to recognize the strength of Hopping Hills and pursue an isolationist policy due to a shortage of men and gear to fight on other territories.

### UACMBC Defensive Agreement and Secession of Western Territories

Due to the military and equipment shortages in the ARS, Vault\_Destroyer reached out to Phasma who was yet to join the server. Vault offered the western mountainous territories as an autonomous zone, but Phasma asserted they wanted the land as an independent nation, only conceding to share travel infrastructure. Later, Phasma request the now Republic of Solaria (RS) concede some of the west RS plains territories to settle due to the lack of flat land on the west-most side of Cyprus. Vault agreed. UACMBC and RS currently have a defensive agreement, but Phasma's inactivity owing to his constant dying has left modern political historians to question the long-term merit of these generous concessions by Vault.
