Cairo

Cairo (formerly known as Egypt) is the oldest African town still standing and the capital of the Saharan States, a nation that mostly dominates Egypt, Israel and West Africa. Cairo was made on the first day of the server (September 3rd) and was founded by yeeteristaken (the first and current mayor), Icon365, Thxstle and APhoenixSword, 3 of whom still play on the server, now with their own towns in the nation.

Cairo is the home to one of the LoN Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid, as well as the Sphinx, the Tower of Cairo, the Grand Administrative Palace, the African HQ of the original UN and one modern skyscraper. Cairo is also one of the more populated towns on the server, with 11 people, making it one of the only 25 towns with 10 or more people.

### Invasions and Battles

There have been ~3-5 battles in Cairo, the first was during the Egyptian-Pirate war, only the first day of the server. The rest of the battles were towards the end of Cairo's participation in World War 1, when Cairo, Nile and South Egypt were all sieged by China and Vietnam, the Egyptians were unsuccessful in all of these battles.

Cairo has been sieged twice since it's creation. The first time was in WW1, after China and Vietnam invaded, which ended with surrender, and Egypt seceding from their nation at the time, the Afro-Arabian Union. The second was from Islamic Bosnia, shortly after WW2, which ended in Egyptian victory.

### The Ender Dragon

One of the four end portals on the server was discovered beneath Cairo after one of it's residents fell into a ravine. At the time, no one had killed the Ender Dragon, so 7 residents of Cairo geared up and became the first people to kill the Ender Dragon. While they were celebrating, the world was furious. People were outraged at them for killing the Ender Dragon for reasons that are still unknown, even causing them to murder several of the people involved. It is speculated that these individuals were salty that someone got the Dragon Egg before them. Unfortunately, due to the controversy, the staff was forced to take the Dragon Egg from the people who rightfully earned it. To the right, is a photo of the people involved, dubbed the "Egghunters", posing in front of the Great Pyramid with the Dragon Egg, shortly before it was taken.

### Infrastructure

Cairo has more buildings than any other in the nation, most of which were built by either yeeteristaken or Franklino7. The Great Pyramid, the Second Pyramid and the Sphinx were built by the original 4 members, yeeteristaken, Icon365, Thxstle and APhoenixSword, and they still stand today. The Great Pyramid became a PvP Arena, the Smaller Pyramid became a monument and somewhat of a museum, and the Sphinx became one of 2 villager trading hubs in Egypt, the other one being in South Egypt. As for Cairo's modern skyscraper, it was built mostly by yeeteristaken, Icon365, Thxstle and HeavenlyList622, over the course of 4 days, with well over a million dollars worth of materials, all purchased from the Dynamic Shop. At one point, the builders purchased the entire stock of white concrete, inflating the price to over $40,000 per block. The building has 12 floors, 1 floor for the lobby, and the other 11 for each of the town mayors to use however they want. In total, the tower is exactly 100 blacks tall, and 48x48 in length and width, making it one of the biggest man-made structures on the map.

### Outposts

Due to the lack of space to expand, Cairo has a lot of outposts. The first one made is the Cairo Shopping District, which is on the Nile, near the southern border of Egypt. The Shopping District was never complete. Cairo also has an outpost that was used to claim the Sumo Wrestling Arena for the Olympics, to allow PvP between allies. Cairo also has an outpost over the ocean, at their raid farm, which is the main source of emeralds, gunpowder and totems for the whole nation. In Antarctica, Cairo has claimed a small strip of land to make a small village and to potentially store items. The last of Cairo's outposts is at an underground base, originally owned by Crusader States, which Cairo claimed following Jerusalem's collapse.
