UPT

## **History**

After Swastania moved to CloudMC, Gun wanted to do something new.

After a few days of talk with Swastania's leader M3gavox, he decided to make his own nation: the Union of Pillage and Thievery. Though still being an admirer of Swastania, he signed the Treaty of Swagistan declaring the **UPT** and Swastania as allies. After the world started UPT quickly started to get resources and develop. The foundations of the capital were quickly made and developed, though it wasn't named until later on. UPT joined the Hwan Khanate's Defense Pact by an invitation from its ally Swastania on 01/10/2023, was kicked on 24/10/2023 and led back in on 31/10/2023. UPT has formed The Pirate Guild with Easter Isle, Swastania, TWO, Bahog and Ocean Man on 20/10/2023. UPT currently has about 70k pixels of claimed land.

## **Lore**

*By Rupturoid..*

The UPT has existed for as long as time itself. After ways of saving information was found, it was seen that the UPT was built on chaos and entropy, although the only thing keeping it together was the love for the nation as a whole. But disaster struck anyways...

As plauge and starvation spread across the UPT, a baby was born. Speculated to be the current leader, Gun. This period in UPT history was mostly theorised, using traditional songs and poems(although said poems were poorly made) which seemingly tell a story:

On multiple paintings, a baby is potrayed as having bright yellow eyes. But the arms of the baby are hidden on every painting, there are multiple theories that try to explain this. It seems the baby(called as "the savior" from now on) has supernatural powers, knowing every service a man really needs, and gives it to them.

*"If you need food he'd know/If you need a house he'd know/But how could he know?/No one knows"* -A poem about said powers(dates to 10.000+ yrs old)

But some wanted to know...

"The Attack on God" is the title of the time period where the savior was seen more as a demon then a god. Therefore, it was believed that the only way to get rid of him was by setting him on fire. But this was made by the rich of the country to stop the savior from making everyone equal... Seeing the chaos, the savior decided to craft a new regime to limit the entropy from reaching the well-being of the country. He crafted it using his arms, which might be the reason why they are absent in depictions of him. He used the "Holy Crafting Table", which can still be found in a island owned by the UPT. The regime is about a monarchist government, with a leader to take care of the country. But no other differance can be found from an anarchist government, this is called an "anarchist monarchy", but the term isn't official by UPT standards. But still, the people wanted to kill him. So he fled, but not far enough...

The folklore says that when he was killed, an explosion like no other was seen. There was believed to be some sort of "supercontinent" before this event. Said explosion (believed to be in -397, 467) "destroyed" the supercontinent, which resulted in the continents and islands seen today. It also might explain how the lack of islands there. Some people still believe that when he gets betrayed again, the same will happen.

It took decades to rebuild society with how little was left. Every nation, once a thriving community made of hundreds of people, was reduced to five at max. Some were wiped out, with only basic structures to remember them by. But it all worked out at the end. The UPT was annexed by Swastania since they were but a few factions (referred to as "tribes" from now on) at the time. The UPT, with their freedom restricted, annexed and shared by factions, decided to wait for the perfect moment.

The people of these tribes would treat the UPTians like they treated their own. They had just as unique ways of living and gave everyone equal rights. Which had some people believe they should embrace the tribes, but others were determined.

On one faithful night, both for the tribes and mostly for the UPT, the tribes gathered around to discuss about becoming one. The UPT had some representatives as well. Some people liked the idea of reuniting since more powerful countries appeared, adapting to the new world faster. On the other hand, some argued that they were not fit for reunion. The discussion turned into shouting, shouting turned into fighting. On the brink of war, a prophecy was fulfilled. A meteorite, named "The Celestial Rock" fell from the skies. The leaders took this as a sign. Swastanians took it as a warning to stop all wars, the UPT took it as a command to go back to their old ways of "anarchist monarchy". But they didn't have to fight for it.

As the volcano got more unstable, the Swastanians had to move out. A certain leader, having seen the start and the end, "Gun" saw this as a great chance. He asked the leader, M3gavox, if he could rebuild the great nation. It took some time, but they found a common way, under a treaty.

On the way to claim new land, many problems showed up. Some sources say there were dragons, floods, wars, betrayal(not against Gun, for aformentioned reasons). The most important one, though, was the "Bred Demon"(sic.) which has distracted Gun and his followers quite a lot. He would allegedly find creative ways to mess with people, such as:

-Turning boats into bread, causing them to sink

-Replacing clothes with bread

-Replacing limbs with bread

After multiple days of being bullied by the "Bred Demon"(sic.), Gun took action.

Once he showed himself to turn Gun's clothes into bread, Gun - with superhuman speed - cut of his right hand. Before the demon could understand what was going on, Gun aimed for the demon's legs. It had no effect, the sword had turned to bread. Gun tried to punch, but the demon dodged and hit him in the stomach. Gun would now see the full extent of the demon's powers.

He had luck with a right hook and an uppercut, but quickly fell into the floor. He fell and fell and fell. Thinking fast, he quickly got his water bucket, and, for the first time in history, he MLG'd.

As they kept on fighting, they got exhausted. As they got exhausted, they began hoping for the fight to end. It **did** end, just not in the way they hoped.

The demon collapsed to the ground. Gun didnt even have a chance to react as he was next.

Nobody knows what happened next, as Gun, seemingly, refused to comment on what happened.
