Timbolia

## Emirate Of Timbolia

#### Early Beginning Period

- The humble origins of Timbolia began on December 16th of 2023, with a settlement of 14 people led by their 2 leaders, Shamski & Karaj. Shamski and his followers soon settled in the Jungles of Western Nigeria, founding their first settlement, Lagos. Not even a mere hour into their start, at about 8:00 pm EST time, Timbolia's first and only settlement was ambushed by EmperorTeeTee, DrakonicLarva, and many of their companions. Despite the unfortunate and unbalanced odds, the Timbolians achieved victory at what is now known as the Skirmish of Lagos.

#### Mid-Beginning Period

- Amidst the chaotic beginnings of Timbolian establishment, many Timbolians began the process to recover their nation from the early conflict that took a substantial hit against Timbolia. In this process of recovery, many Timbolian settlements were established. Such as that of Aliabad, which had its beginnings as a small hut built by Maxtun and Technobladened at about 500 blocks away from Lagos. This hut later developed into modern Aliabad, a home to an assortment of interest abodes. Besides Aliabad, settlements also include many major cities like that of Timbuktu, as well as many minor establishments scattered across the Saharan Desert and the West African Jungles.

#### Late Beginning Period

- After Timbolia recovered from its immediate conflict, it saw massive development at settlements such as the main capital city of Timbolia, Timbuktu, which was founded by Ahmedabad. A prominent figure in funding the resources to rapidly build Timbuktu was ALLDRAGONSTAR, who is renowned for his extreme dedication in gathering ludicrous amount of resources. As such, in a mere span of a week, Timbolia had risen to become one of the top superpowers, if not the top superpower, in the world.

### Timbolian Colonial Era

#### The 1st Timbolian Colonial Period

The Timbolian Colonial Era is marked as an era of which Timbolia began extra colonization of local and global regions. Pioneered by ALLDRAGONSTAR, Timbolia expanded its power and influence past the Sahara and over the Red Sea into coastal Arabia. These specific lands, consisting of the Islamic holy lands of Mecca and Medina, was order by Sultan Shamski to be discovered and claimed in the name of Timbolia. These first colonial quests of conquest are what many consider as the beginning to Timbolian policy of colonial and territorial expansionism.

#### The 2nd Timbolian Colonial Period

Besides the coastal Arabian lands, ALLDRAGONSTAR managed to expand Timbolian territory deep into the Sahara, establishing a pathway to Northern Africa, where he claimed coastal regions in the Mediterranean for Timbolia. These Mediterranean costal territories include a bit of non-coastal Algeria, coastal Libya, and most of costal Egypt. At the newly claimed costal Egyptian border was The First Egyptian Dynasty, which hindered Timbolian colonialist expansion in the area, causing ALLDRAGONSTAR to take a longer route around the nation to connect Timbolian territory directly to the Red Sea. Once ALLDRAGONSTAR had reached the Red Sea, in the process blocking Egyptian expansion on their Western and Southern borders, he had established a claim on Sudanese and Eritrean costal lands, where Timbolia established a border to the Gothic Empire's Djibouti colony.

#### The 3rd Timbolian Colonial Period

After securing the rest of the African costal region of the Red Sea, ALLDRAGONSTAR corrected Timbolian borders in Arabia. Specifically, he more clearly defined Timbolian Arabia borders and expanded Timbolian claim in Arabia to the Arabian part of the Gothic's Empire Djbouti-Arabian claim around the ab al-Mandab Strait. By the order of Sultan Shamski, ALLDRAGONSTAR further expanded colonial territories into Jordan, Western Sryia, and Lebonon, connecting the Arabians colonies to the Mediterranean Sea and completely surrounding the State of Palestine's land border. In addition to this, ALLDRAGONSTAR attempted to expand Timbolian borders into Turkey and and the entirety of the Black Sea excluding Crimea, as well as coastal Yemen and Oman, but due to overextending colonial lands, these new Black Sea and Yemen/Oman territories fell out of the control of Timbolia, ultimately marking the end of the Timbolian Colonial Era.

### Modern Timbolia Era

#### The First Timbolian Industrial Revolution

After the extreme jump in development by Timbolia, Sultan Shamski declared the construction of the Great Wall of Timbolia as well as the Trans-Saharan Railroad. Co-leader Karaj, Shamski's right-hand man, led the construction of the Trans-Saharan Railroad with help from Heroko, which after its completion, was the main subject of boastment of the industrial power of the Timbolians. In a stark contrast to the Trans-Saharan railroad's relatively quick completion, the Great Wall of Timbolia took a great effort from Timbolians ALLDRAGONSTAR and Karaj to complete. Measuring at about three kilometers in perimeter, the Great Wall of Timbolia took tens of thousands of cubic meters of building material to construct. In this regard, the mind boggling dedication by Timbolians represented by the Great Wall of Timbolia serves as an overarching reminder to Timbolian rivals that Timbolia will accomplish what ever it seeks, no matter the coast. To this end, many individuals speak in hope of the demise of rivaling nations like that of Sørlandia, as exemplified by the very vocal Timbolian citizen, Islam.

#### The Development of Aliabad

During the construction of the Great Wall of Timbolia, Aliabad underwent rapid development. The primary founder of the establishment, Technobladened, devised the idea of a large housing structure on treads. It possessed tank treads as well as a bulldozer attachment; it demolished the old village originally constructed. The development of Aliabad was a symbol of the industrialization of Timbolia, showing that the old is replaced with the new.

#### The Development of Timbuktu

Timbuktu stands as a testament to the might of Timbolian power and dedication, showing how Timbolia seeks to build a thriving desert metropolis despite the raw, barren landscape. Timbuktu, the capital city of Timbolia, is nested in the harsh terrain of the Sahara desert and was founded by Ahemedabad on the 21st of December, 2023. Within days of its establishment, Timbuktu became a thriving center for trade and tourism. With the likes of mosques and bazaars under construction, as well as the growing development of urbanization, Timbuktu, at the moment, stands as the second largest city on Globecraft, only behind Saltville Nevertheless, Timbuktu's founder, Ahemdabad, claims that the city will continue to grow exponentially; going as far as to say that the city with increase 2 times fold in the immediate future.

#### The Second Timbolian Industrial Revolution

After connecting the Timbolian homeland via rail road, along with the development of Aliabad and Timbuktu, ALLDRAGONSTAR put forth the idea of the Timbolian intercontinental railroad, which would connect all of TImbolia's African lands, as well as cross the Red Sea into the Timbolian Arabia. After approval from Sultan Shamski and co-leader Karaj, ALLDRAGONSTAR with the help of Carms and Zycjog, built the railroad spanning the entirety of northern Africa. The railroad went through the Sahara Desert, the Atlas mountains, into Timbolian Morocco, where the railroad continued through Northern Africa in Timbolian Algeria, Libya, and Egypt. The railroad continued into Timbolia Sudan and Eretria into and over the Red Sea, where it ends in Timbolian Arabia. In the process of obtaining the massive amount of materials to build the railraod, the Timbuktu super smelter was founded, allowing Timbolia to further increase its development. Moreover, the creation of the the Timbolian intercontinental railroad led to the creation of more railroads being built within the Timbolian homeland, as major cities in Timbolia became more interconnected through their dedicated railroad stations. Besides the railroad, Timbolia also developed extreme Slimefun developments, managing to obtain many magical alters and machinery, of which still remains hidden in the secret underground Timbolian factories.

## Conflicts

### Establishment Era Conflicts:

#### Skirmish of Lagos

After the establishment of Timbolia's first settlement, Lagos, EmperorTeeTee**, DrakonicLarva**, and many of their companions escalated their investigation of the new Timbolian settlement into fighting. The Timbolians, with nothing more than iron equipment were forced to fruitless attempt to repel their attackers of whom were in fully enchanted netherite equipment with the assistance of the best weapons in the slimefun mod. Using mass attack as their battling strategy, Timbolia overwhelmed their far superior attackers. After successfully repelling all aggressors, Timbolia achieved victory, marking Timbolia's first conflict and first victory.

### Modern Conflicts

#### Battle of Washington Monument

TImbolians **Islam**, **Karaj**, and **Ahemedabad**, after being insulted by **Camicomchom,** decided to enact repercussions against their verbal aggressor. They made their way to the Washington Monument in the nation of Columbia, where they found **Camicomchom** and punished him via death with the justification of his insultment towards them. On their way to leaving Columbia, **Islam**, **Karaj**, and **Ahemedabad**, were attacked by **Camicomchom**, resulting in them making quick work of him and continue on their way out. Moments later, **Camicomchom** requested assitance from Velvas, who came and fought against **Islam**, **Karaj**, and **Ahemedabad**. During the conflict, **Karaj** and **Islam** managed to each kill Velvas once, with the assistance of **Ezoref** as help from a bird-eye view via Dynmap, but were soon faced with **Drakonic**, who was there for other purposes. Nevertheless, he relentlessly killed all that he came across during his visit and then preceded with business elsewhere. At the end of the chaotic conflict, Timbolia reigned supreme, taking the least casualties and inflicting the most damage.

#### Timbolian Annexation War of the Children of Not War

Timbolia, suffering from war exhaustion as a due result of CoNW (Eldia) Forces avoiding any direct conflicts and generally loopholing by many means, had pushed Timbolia to its breaking point. It took the Battle of the Sahara, led by Commander ItzYoungenz, to push Timbolia to its breaking point. Terra Nullius attempted to join the war against Timbolia, but it had been too late, as the CoNW were forced to negotiate a peace treaty.

#### Timbolian-Terra Nulliusian war

After the the Timbolian annexation war against the Children of Not War was near complete, Terra Nullius managed to involve itself into a conflict against Timbolia, demonstrating itself at the Battle of Glenrowan. At the end of it, Timbolia failed to take the city, forcing Timbolian soldiers to regroup elsewhere.

### Capitulation of Timbolia

Ultimately, the Sultan of Timbolia, Sultan Shamski, was forced to make a choice: watch his nation face yet another costly war, or let his subjects be free from the fighting they so desperately despised. As the gracious leader he was, he chose the latter. The cost of such a decision: the Capitulation of Timbolia. The Sultanate of Timbolia had fallen, the nation of Timbolia had collapsed, and its wars were to no longer bring burden to its previous citizens.

"Capitulation of Timbolia

Since its beginning, Timbolia has faced many foes. Amidst the Timbolian victory over The Children of Not War, rising war exhaustion, and international pressure have pushed Timbolia to the edge of collapse. The Timbolian population has moved for the end of their involvement in this world. The Timbolian Sultanate has fallen. Timbolia is no more. All previous Lands of Timbolia go to Saltland, besides Moroccan Timbolia, which goes to Xcetera." -Shamski's last declaration as the Sultan of Timbolia
