## Lore

On **March 24, 2022**, mchdi, thicc\_duc, and 99UncleSam joined GeoFacts Earth. They established themselves in Fez, Morocco, and began a private mine. They had started brainstorming a caliphate that they would found in the area which would span Gibraltar and Andalusia.

One day later, tensions started rising with the Saharan States. zDouqie of Suez began advancing towards Fes from Gibraltar at a rapid pace, but then teleported away. Shortly afterwards, Firebll, the Mayor of Gibraltar, started suspecting the three players of wanting to start a war due to the proximity of Fez to Gibraltar. He consistently sent teleport requests and whispers to each player, until asking in the general chat channel why they were “there”.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the three agreed to go to a less dangerous location and thus migrated to the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. Due to the region’s concentration of gold and relatively safe distance from other nations, they decided to base there for a bit. BxrbieGirl, from Cairo, roamed the Northern Arabian Peninsula. When asked what he was doing, he said he was “looking for dark brown terracotta.”

Just a day afterwards, two more players joined the cause: \_OzBoz\_ and \_JellyDaFish\_. JellyDaFish built a Nether portal, and by the end of the day the net wealth of the group was about $200. Claims were discussed, and 99UncleSam proposed that they would establish their nation in the Hejaz, controlling part of the Red Sea and Sudan, and expanding upwards and ideally over Jerusalem and Turkey. mchdi opposed this, saying by the time they reached Jerusalem nations would be too strong to handle, and that they should settle there amongst the other nations and obtain land early.

They negotiated and agreed that they would found Medina, not too far away from Europe but not too close that accessing the gold hotspots became inconvenient.

On, **3/27**, at around 12:45pm, thicc\_duc founded Medina along with 99UncleSam. This began a conflict between the two and mchdi, which had started with a disagreement on the name of the to-be nation. In the end, leadership was transferred to mchdi. Over the course of a few days, they had gathered four other members, and in order to compromise with the other two, mchdi initiated a vote. The nation name ended up being the New Order of Hejaz due to complications in the results of the vote.

A few more players were invited both in-game and through friends, and the total amount of members became around 10. One player named jj\_disaster was able to make money for the town quickly by, while the rest of the players expanded the town and \_JellyDaFish\_ managed the housing and plot ownership. Due to the scarcity of cows needed for leather, 99UncleSam ventured through many terrains until he found some which he, thicc\_duc, and mchdi brought back to the town.

On **March 28th**, at about 7:08pm EST, the New Order of Hejaz was founded.

On **March 30th**, the cities of Grozny and Babylon gained the status of township in Hejaz.

On **April 3rd**, the cities of Dubai and Mecca gained the status of township in Hejaz.

On **April 7th**, the city of Muscat gained the status of township in Hejaz.

After almost two weeks of server downtime, it came back up on Saturday, **April 23rd**. The town of Cyprus gained the status of township, and approximately 30-40 minutes after the server went up, Hejaz sieged Jerusalem. Beirut, the nation above it, was sieged about ten minutes afterwards.

On **April 27th**, the Kingdom of Hungary founded a town in Caucasia called Ancient Basin. The Hungarian government agreed to hand the town over to Hejaz in exchange for no conflict between the two nations.

On **May 20th**, the Mughal Empire merged into the New Order of Hejaz.

On **May 23rd**, Pax Romana merged into the New Order of Hejaz after long debate and planning, with thicc\_duc remaining as Caliph.

On **June 4th**, the nation of the Saharan States merged into the nation. Also on **June 4th**, mchdi and AyumiFurie got permanently banned from the server after a severe shortage of braincells caused both of them to send disturbing media in nation discords (extreme gore in AyumiFurie's case and homophobic real execution video in mchdi's case).

In **July**, the name of the nation was changed back to the New Order of Hejaz from Pax Hejaz.

## Battles

On **April 23rd**, Hejaz sieged Jerusalem and Beirut. Hejaz easily won these sieges.

On **April 27th**, Hejaz sieged the towns Kutaisi and Tbilisi, belonging to United Caucasia. Hejaz easily won these sieges.

On **August 4th**, JuStAPoTatOKiNG and China engaged the nation at the **Battle of Leviara** in Indolaysia, an offensive siege initially waged by Hejaz for its relatively high plunder value against a seemingly low risk target, but which later joined New Indolaysia after being sieged. Cat Kingdom came to the aid of the New Order of Hejaz and carried them to victory. During one of the battle sessions, thicc\_duc began to lag and appeared to be using kill aura (clip here), sparking numerous accusations against him which were definitively proven false when the server moderators served justice and deemed thicc\_duc to be innocent. The domination by Cat Kingdom was so severe, the Peoples Republic of China was sent to the shadow realm. JuStAPoTatOKiNG claimed that China quit the server, but this statement would prove to be quite false afterwards, as China perhaps became even more aggressive in their foreign policy. The Battle of Leviara marked the beginning of a series of conflicts on the scale of a World War, as the four largest nations on the server (Homestead allied with The New Order of Hejaz vs China allied with the USSR) engaged in battle after battle.

On **August 19th**, El Haram, a town of Peru, sieged Homestead's capital, Peaky Porkers. This marked a temporary change in Peru's alliances, as they had originally been allied to Homestead beforehand. Nevertheless, Homestead crushed Peru's offensive and easily won the **Battle of Peaky Porkers**.

On **August 25th**, Hejaz sieged Estonia of the USSR (not to be confused with the original Estonia owned by Tobikoer which got ruined and deleted) after their leader memes169 claimed part of the Suez and refused to give up his claims. Hejaz got out to an early lead of 27000 points but in 2 sessions JuStAPoTatOKiNG and his larper army were able to bring down the deficit to only 6000 points. The arrival of M3rchant and his capable leadership skills alongside the skilled Homestead army help put Hejaz and Homestead back onto the path of victory, and China ended up surrendering informally after they ran out of pots in a battle of attrition. Hejaz and Homestead ended up winning by more than 40000 points at the **Battle of Estonia**.

On **September 1st**, Hejaz placed a siege banner on Rome (Roma). In the siege camp, 99UncleSam and thicc\_duc had to engage 4 attackers from the town "hi pees" (cranarjah, T1MURLANE, \_Sypan\_, and KingMogging). thicc\_duc was able to kill \_Sypan\_ and pick up his sword, and Hejaz was able to successfully complete the siege camp while warding off the attackers. In the first siege session, tsarsamthegreat, owner of Rome, surrendered the siege, thus making Hejaz immediately victorious in the **Battle of Rome**. Hejaz suffered no casualties.

On **September 18th**, 99UncleSam claims the Suez and makes a toll free ice road.

### Achievements

* Initiated successful start to the establishment of the nation
* Formed successful base for Discord server of the nation
* Launched successful sieges on Jerusalem, Beirut, Kutaisi, and United Caucasia
* Massive expansion of the nation's control over towns in the official claims of the nation

### Failures

* Over-aggressiveness led to nation sieging Zagreb and London simultaneously, which put the nation in unstable military territory and risked major financial losses
* Dragged nation into too many foreign conflicts
* Resigned after putting the nation in tumultuous condition

mchdi resigned Caliph to 99UncleSam in order to main real life.

### Achievements

* Brought victory to the nation in the siege against Zagreb, sending a strong political message against Gorilla
* Successively defended Mecca from Gorilla's siege
* Helped bring somewhat stability after inheriting a struggling nation
* In a short second term as Caliph in order to replace thicc\_duc's temporary absence, 99UncleSam made an alliance with the PvP group Homestead (formerly known as Cat Kingdom at the time, and in quite sharp contrast to Hejaz's previous stance in opposition to Cat Kingdom) essentially making Hejaz a sister nation tightly bound to Homestead. In this alliance, Hejaz was aided militarily while Homestead was aided financially and resource-wise in return. thicc\_duc initially met this move with skepticism, but it turned out to have been 99UncleSam's most remarkable achievement. Hejaz's success in future military campaigns, aided by Homestead's vast resource in PvPers, proves testament to this.

### Failures

* Failed to win siege on London
* Relatively short term temporarily destabilized the nation's political sphere
* Loss of Mecca

99UncleSam resigned Caliph to thicc\_duc after suffering from a stroke and then became a key foreign advisor to the Caliph.

**Side Notes:** Mecca had been sieged by Gorilla and Hejaz helped to defend Mecca. During the first 2 and a half days of the siege, none of the residents in Mecca knew they were being sieged. Hejaz would triumph in this Jihad, securing Mecca. To show their gratitude, Mecca ran off with the war chest to form the now defunct Islamic Caliphate with its capital of Alexandria based in Egypt, thus giving 99UncleSam a stroke. The defunct caliphate would lose its nation status and then promptly be sieged by the Saharan States. Ultimately the entire war chest from Mecca was lost for naught.

### Achievements

* Successful defense against siege on Medina by sprite
* Establishment of the Great Central Confederacy
* Greatly bolstered the nation's iron, pumpkin, melon, villager, and potion economy and supply
* Mass production of potions
* Expansion of nation into Mecca, Jerusalem (Al-Quds), the United Arab Emirates, Valencia, County of Syracuse, Gilead, Malacca, Surat, Mumbai, Israel, Thessaloniki, and Mos Eisley
* Merge of the Mughal Empire into the New Order of Hejaz

### Failures

* Discrepancies in political stance
* Nearly lost a netherite gset by being a clown (loaned set to mchdi without every mentioning that it was just a loan beforehand)

**Side Notes:**

* Many of Hejaz's allies still regard 99UncleSam as the Caliph due to ineffective communication as a result of 99UncleSam's sudden resignation.

**Relations:**

* **Homestead**: 99UncleSam would effectively align Hejaz with Homestead. Hejaz would be responsible for siege logistics, and homestead would be responsible for bringing pvpers.
