## History

### Real-Life

#### Creation

Sacatia was originally founded on July 31, 2018, on a superflat world.

#### Expansion

In spring 2021, it was decided to expand the world by adding more surrounding cities and towns. As the world had a big grid-like structure, it was easy to plan where the next municipalities would go. The planning was underway, and on June 28 the country's capital Everton was started.

#### Rebuild

In early 2022, a decision was made to rebuild Sacatia. On April 9, it was done...

#### Redesign

On October 20, 2022, it was decided that mods would be incorporated into the entire continent. On October 29, it was decided that Blockston City would be redesigned, and the original rebuild for the country was scrapped. This pushed the foundation date even further to (tbd).

Sacatia has a promising future with more states and municipalities than ever before, and with the help of new mods, the country will change tremendously for the better.

### In-Universe

#### Discovery

In the year 1822, explorers from the country (tbd) led by Mark Hillman set out west and landed on a large piece of land which was named the Hillman State, now named Hillman Island. From there Hillman City was officially founded a year later as the country's capital. 3 years later other explorers from the country (tbd) led by Francis Blockston set out west after rumours of more land close to Hillman State, and arrived at where is now Blockston City. The land was named Blostonia and Blockston City officially became its capital, but when Hillman State learned news of more land nearby, they set out to claim it before Blostonia could. This led to Blostonia doing the same which would pave the way towards the Hillman-Blockston War. Hillman State travelled west and settled in what was named Tonario and founded the settlement Bellamy. Blostonia moved south and Hillman State then decided to move north and both countries would collide at the settlement named Everton where the Hillman-Blockston War would occur.

#### War & Founding of Sacatia

After both countries claimed as much land as they could, Hillman State and Blostonia declared war on August 14, 1827, over the settlement Everton. The conflict would last another 5 years which resulted in the deaths of over 10,000 soldiers from each side. On June 20, 1832, it was decided that the best way to resolve the conflict was to put the rivalry aside and merge both countries together and share the rights to Everton, which would become their new capital. The country was officially named Sacatia on September 9, 1832, and Hillman State and Blostonia became states and were changed to Hillman Island and Blockston respectively; Hillman City and Blockston City also becoming their respective capitals. Sacatia continued to explore west founding states and settlements along the way and eventually arrived at the ocean later known as the Berritic Ocean and a settlement named Hemmerson was founded. In the year 1854, Sacatia explored to the north and claimed a large island which was named Sacatia Island and founded its capital Delamere.
