Raven Republic (RR)

# Raven Republic (RR) (no longer existing)

Raven Republic was one of the first nations ever established in Earthcraft. However, it was originally named Raven Empire. The nation was established by DeadlyMouse aka XxxCoolGuyxxX. It was a medium-sized nation in regards to land, but it was very small in regards to population. However, after merging with Monke Republic in early June, Raven Republic ceased to exist.

When Raven Empire was first getting started, DeadlyMouse was the temporary president until the server got started. He appointed Bishop as Vice President.

## Locations

### The Fortress

The first structure ever built was The Fortress: a giant cobblestone-walled base on the west coast of the nation. This is where the entire nation started. Deady Mouse was in charge of building The Fortress, and contributed greatly to the construction of the original structure.

### Ibibo Bay

The next major development in Raven was the establishment of the bay city. It was originally called Bishop Bay, since Bishop was in charge of building and designing the entire city. However, she changed the city name to Ibibo Bay, since she thought naming a city after yourself was kind of a bad idea.

### Solis City

Solis City was the capital of the Raven Republic, and was founded by RagingRanger165. The city was originally named "DeSantis City", but was changed due to controversy and other reasons. The name Solis means Sun in Latin, which is where the inspiration of the name of the city came from (credit to Bishop since she thought of it). RagingRanger165 is still working on building the city, and plans continue its growth. Even though Solis City is no longer the national capital, it is still one of the most important cities in the new nation.

### Imperium Revolution (Gaul)

A detailed account of this conflict can be found elsewhere, but Raven Republic did participate in this conflict. Donations were made to Gaul, such as armor and books, but that was about it. RagingRanger165 did spectate the war from a distance, but Raven Republic never engaged in any conflict.

### North African Land Crisis

A day or two after Gual took over Imperium, Raven Republic came to Gaul asking for some land in exchance for their support. However, the diplomatic systems of Raven Republic were very uncoordinated and new at the time. Therefore, multiple requests were made to the same people. This caused the new Junta to become upset with Raven. Additionally, the blunt responses of Gaul's diplomats upset many of the members of Raven. This created tension between the new nations. Fortunatly, the situation was eventually figured out, and Raven stopped requesting the land.

## Alliances

Raven Republic held alliances with the following nations:

Monke Republic (ADAPT), The Federation (now [new] USSR) (non-aggression and mutual defense pact), Fanrong (Alliance of Peaceful Nations), RDS (non-aggression pact), and Infernum (trade and non-aggression pact)

## The Merge

On \_\_\_, the leaders of Raven Republic and Monke Republic agreed unanimously to merge. They agreed to declare their new capital district on the west coast of their land, and designate a small part of DRC, Angola, and Congo as the capital district (On June 22, the council members declared the capital district would be named Saki). However, until the new capital could be built big enough, Monke Republic's capital in Albuquerque (Madagascar) would be the capital of the new nation. One of the conditions the leaders of Monke Republic (mostly MostBlake) were unclaiming/selling Raven's land claim near spawn. RagingRanger165 initially granted the land to Greenlandia, but this transation was quickly voided a day later since RagingRanger165 did not have the authority to make this transaction without the rest of the council's consent. One of the other conditions of the leaders of Monke (also MostBlake) were to have a strict neutrality policy/approach, and stay out of war whenever possible. This term was accepted happily by the leaders of Raven.

On June 19th 2022, the council held a name contest for the new name of the merged nations. Citizens could upvote or downvote name suggestions, and the names with the most net votes would be considered by the council on June 22nd 2020 at 1pm EST. The top three names were The Coalition of African Provinces (CAP), Nova, and Saki Republic. Nova was quickly dismissed by most of the council members. Eventually, a verdict was reached, and CAP was chosen. Saki was also chosen as the capital district as a compromise.
