Iceland

Iceland was a country that was founded on October 23rd, 2020 by Gabe, Du, and Kat, with Gabe as the king. After the coronation of Kat and Moon, the area once known as Iceland is now called The New 'Republic'.

## History

Iceland was unofficially founded on the day the server started, the 23rd of October, 2020, when Gabe, Kat, and Du decided to base together after running away from spawn. The wooden shelter that Gabe built to keep them safe from the night later became the original Capital of Iceland. Later that day Gabe was mining out some of the mountain that they were based in in order to build the future Castle of Antarctica, along with help from others such as Tomare and Foot.

#### **Pre-War**

Between the 25th of October and the 1st of November, the town of Djungelskog was built in the plains in front of the castle, with Chegg and Keddon being its first residents, the town would later expand to house Foot and a Pillager, as well has multiple businesses. Nicole made her house not to far away from Iceland and founded ísafjörður.

#### **Iceland vs. The 'Republic' War**

On November 21st, Gabe hosted a Thanksgiving Event, which included activities such as starving and playing Among Us, but was secretly a plot to kidnap Groncc, The 'Republic's prized citizen. The plan succeeded, but Kreme and Facco started attacking the participants, and tried to blow up the castle and town, but were unsuccessful as it had been defused during the event.

Gabe made a tactical retreat and founded Fjord with Ludic, and had invited Kat, but not long after the base was destroyed and they had to relocate. Knarrarnes was the next town of Iceland, being located well below ground so they couldn't be spotted, it became a large open space that housed many buildings, but the base's location was leaked and everybody had to relocate again. There were rumors that there was a traitor in the group, but Gabe downplayed the threat and tried to unite his citizens. This time they relocated so far away that it would take a traitor on the inside to find them, at this point, Gabe was trying very hard to keep the spirits of everybody up, but on the inside had many doubts. In the new base, Sigur, Kat was trying to get her "friend" Bedwars God invited into the nation, Gabe said no repeatedly but Moon eventually decided to give in and let him into the base, but Bedwars God was a spy and the base was blown up not long after.

Gabe no longer trusted anybody and told everybody that they all had to prepare separately in groups to stop this from happening again. After a wait, The Final Battle was scheduled for the 12th of December, in which the outcome of the war would be decided. The night before the battle, Nicole asked if she could bring some friends into the country, and after some resistance, Gabe said yes, letting three new people and Whale into the country to help them win the battle. When the day came, it was an 8 v 4 and The 'Republic' was utterly defeated, Facco, Bedwars God, and Liquid all were defeated and Kreme fled the battlefield, Iceland claimed they were victorious, though the other side believed they had won because they thought that Iceland had broken the war rules.

#### **Post-War**

Following Iceland's victory, Gabe started building the walls of Hrynga at spawn as the new capital of Iceland. Not long after, on the 14th, Facco and Kreme claimed the outside of the walls and said that they would kill anybody who stepped into their land, essentially trapping the inhabitants of Iceland inside the walls. Gabe tried to progress on the town, but as time went by he could tell that nobody listened to his orders, the most prominent when Du was building his Casino and would not stop after multiple attempts by Gabe to stop him, even blowing up a piece of TNT. After this, Gabe could see that Iceland needed new leadership or the country may fall apart, so he forced it onto Kat and Moon on the 24th and left the Kingdom.

On January 9th, 2021 a coronation was held for Kat and Moon. In reality, it was plot a by Kat and The 'Republic' to officially disband Iceland and put it under the leadership of The 'Republic.' Event-goers were welcomed with speeches from Moon and Kat, though at the end of Kat's speech Facco stepped in to declare that Iceland was now under The 'Republic's' rule. Moon was assassinated by Du, and those in the crowd were slaughtered by withers and blown up by TNT.

After The Coronation, it was decided that what was previously 'Iceland' would now be considered The New 'Republic.'
