New York City

### Founding of New York City

On the 25th of September, the town of New York City was formed by RenziTheGreat. The town was visited by Vietnamese citizens right after it was born and misunderstanding led to bloodshed, but the conflict was quickly resolved. A previous border dispute related murder by it's mayor led to a bounty being placed upon his head and forces surrounded the small town, but were unable to commit violence due to PvP being off and the mayor staying inside his claim. After this turbulent beginning, the town saw immediate growth to the south, claiming a large chunk of New Jersey, and to the north, claiming some on northern New York and most of Long Island. The town of New York in northern New York then rushed in with a snake claim to prevent NYC's expansion to the north. This disrupted the nation of New England's connection with it's town Harrisburg and New England attempted to contact administrative support to remove the snake claim. NYC's claims were spared and the town was not harmed by any admin, but New York would not be spared such a fate. Admins removed the entire town for snake claiming and the mayor never logged in again. New York would make peace with New England and continue it's expansion.

### Pax Paradisia

Following the collapse of AUS and the Fall of Texas, New York City, along with it's allied cities, joined the Midwest Republic. In it's time in Midwest, the city saw a time of relative peace, suffering no invasions, skirmishes, or any wars near it's borders. The construction of the Empire State Building, which had been in development , was advanced considerably and was finished in a week. Construction then began on the Reflecting Pools and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. This construction was halted due to unforeseen conflicts abroad.

### Empire of Paradise and the Siege of Boston

Towns Toronto, Paradise, Maine, New York City, Old Forge, Gary, Norville, Naxos, Athos, and Buffalo came together to form the Empire of Paradise, with most seceding from Midwest Republic who lacked capability to respond. The Empire of Paradise allied itself with New England, Republic of Carolina, and the Republic of Florida. New York City's population had more than tripled since the Pax Paradisia in this time period. North America was showing great economic prosperity and lasting peace, until the Maritime Federation. The Federation invaded New England and sieged Boston, causing a response from all major NA powers, including the Empire of Paradise. New York City mayor, RenziTheGreat, aided the coalition forces and fought back the forces from the Federation. The fighting ended after only one skirmish in which the coalition lost many men and resources. The Maritime Federation quit the server after the battle and all seemed to be won. This was not to last, as a "UN authorized Chinese peacekeeping force" entered Boston AFTER the fighting ended and proceeded to slaughter the defenders. The angry coalition fighters, wanting their gear returned, traveled to Hanoi after promises of reparations. This included RenziTheGreat and other EoP members such as Vinarin, mayor of Toronto. The Vietnamese and Chinese proceeded to slaughter everyone and steal their items. After some disputes in voicechat, in which RenziTheGreat heroically and bravely called out the Chinese for their egregious crimes. After a short siege on New California, owned by BriPM, tensions cooled, but all NA nations now feared the Chinese, Vietnamese, and most other outsiders.

### Paradisian-Carolinian Merge

The Carolinian Empire and the Empire of Paradise had strong political and economic ties before and after the Battle of Boston. They both were the largest and most powerful nations on the eastern seaboard, with New York City beginning to thrive even more after the battle, seeing a decline in NE. The rise of Baja California however scared both Empires and promoted cooperation among members of the East Coast to stop the spread of Baja to them. The was punctuated by Baja's war against the Midwest Republic, Paradise's former state. The humiliation of one of NA's oldest and most prominent states scared the people to form a union to better serve and protect the nations. This would become the North American Federal Republic(NAFR) with KizerDark and Zebone34 serving as the nation's first joint presidents, although Zebone34 is considered the legitimate first President. They would play an important part in the upcoming battles in the Floridan Civil War, in which Miami seceded due to election interference by Baja, which was discovered by NAFR operatives. The defense of Orlando established the NAFR as a legitimate world player.

### Second World War

New York would play a minor part in WW2, even though it fought against the Muslims on many occasions, in Cuba, in cum, in Norville and In Toronto, as well as Beijing. They would however foster a friendlier relationship with China, which would end up saving the city on a later date.
