   **Crudelstan** is a Beta-Phase faction created by BabyMoment (Gasoline2013). The faction was succeeded by the Full-Release faction of Crudolistan. It is located in the region of present-day Kuwait.

## History

### Beta Day 1

Crudelstan was established on Beta Day 1 by BabyMoment. The faction quickly set up a mine in the Iranian region and created a temporary AFK Pillar for BabyMoment to safely afk in without being ambushed by mobs.

A wiki-editor alliance with Rome (later combining with Winter Moon and becoming Blizziran) was quickly formed.

### Beta Day 2

Crudelstan continued to harvest resources from its mine while also developing an underground animal farm. At the time, the farm only consisted of chickens (chicken eggs were "definitely" not stolen from Frankia).

Later, an AFK Fishing Farm was developed, thus deprecating the AFK Pillar.

### Beta Day 3

Beta Day 3 involved BabyMoment's expedition to retrieve one cow from the North Sea and another from Oman in order to create a cow farm. This roughly took an agonizing 2 hours of boating to complete.

Afterwards, Crudelstan's landscape was remodeled to suit a wheat, carrot, and tree farm whilst expanding the Iranian Mine.

### Beta Day 5

After Crudelstan accumulated enough coal, the Iranian Mine was lit up with torches to decrease the mob spawn rate.

Later in the day, BabyMoment spectated a conflict between Blizziran and the TerranEmpire. During this conflict, BabyMoment discovered a long mining system under Antarctica. Crudelstan gained a variety of valuable resources such as obsidian from the mine (used to create a useless nether portal).

A truce with the Terran Empire was also formed, likely in an attempt to prevent further conflict with Blizziran's allies.

### Beta Day 6

After Crudelstan underwent the server's OP Griefing and Squid\_Kid's Rampage, its unprotected farms were destroyed, forcing BabyMoment to relocate them underground. The nearby Persian gulf was also griefed.

Plans to create a house finally started after Crudelstan's unorganized storage was nearing full capacity. Mid-construction, BabyMoment decided to pay Iran a visit. During this visit, two terrorists, LordKush and Shady\_Oak, killed Cherxbim and BabyMoment, delaying the construction of Crudelstan's house due to the loss of resources. This also resulted in the enemying of Police and, informally, Belgique and BabyMoment's first death on the server.

After Crudelstan's recovery, the first Crudelian house was finished and above-ground storage was moved to the house's interior for greater protection.

Later, BabyMoment further cleaned up parts of the Persian and Oman gulfs from the server's griefing. After this, BabyMoment also found out that the useless nether portal was able to transport inaccessible nether mobs to the overworld.

### Beta Day 7

BabyMoment participated in the Battle for Stal, despite bringing little to no contribution to the fight. At the end of the battle, he managed to retrieve roughly 3 stacks of Purpur blocks and 1 stack of Purpur stairs for any future builds Crudelstan may have.

Later, Crudelstan's house was given a design for its floor and ceiling.

### Beta Day 8

KaraCorvus' Reckoning decimated almost all of the server's pre-existing livestock. This ended up destroying Crudelstan's animal farms.

While BabyMoment was further developing the Iranian Mine, WoahMama, a member of Blizziran, crossed paths with BabyMoment. BabyMoment explained to him that Crudelstan created their Iranian Mine before even the Persian Empire existed (Blizziran's Iranian territory before they combined with Winter Moon) to prevent any unnecessary conflict.

During Blizziran's conflict with the Poles and Lithuanians, Crudelstan waited on enemying or neutraling either faction until a conclusion to the conflict was made.

A bridge between Crudelstan and Blizziran was completed to serve as a symbol of peace towards Blizziran, Crudelstan's most important foreign relationship on the server.

Later in the day, BabyMoment traveled to Egypt's Nile to see the progress of the Great Saharan Flood. He appreciated the flood's gracious donations of sea water to the Saharan people but didn't have time to participate in the project.

### Beta Day 9

BabyMoment was inactive for the most part during this day. He was only on for a short period of time to further develop the Iranian Mine and create an anvil for enchantment books obtained via afk fishing.

### Beta Day 11

With a donation of string from Blizziran, BabyMoment finally created Crudelstan's banner sitting under the Crudelian welcome sign. Afterwards, development on a second banner for Blizziran's Ziggurat of Tehran started.

BabyMoment also took a trip to Eastern Asia to look at the factions of China, East China, and Korea. While BabyMoment was in Central Asia, he encountered HotIrishEboyDan, a member of JokerLand. He immediately wanted to ally Crudelstan so that he and BabyMoment could "explore Asia together :)".

BabyMoment was very skeptical of JokerLand's "partnership" and asked questions about why JokerLand wanted to ally with Crudelstan. BabyMoment's questions frustrated HotIrishEboyDan, causing him to chase BabyMoment with a diamond sword throughout Asia.

After HotIrishEboyDan gave up chasing BabyMoment, they both agreed to end the conflict with a truce. BabyMoment never created an alliance with HotIrishEboyDan, especially after he talked about "some interesting~~ly sexual~~ things" in the in-game chat. BabyMoment later finished his trip after meeting up with PerDeliquium in EastChina and touring the Eastern Asian factions.

After BabyMoment explored Asia, he found how an Unbreaking and Mending fishing rod could easily heal durability from afk fishing, something he wished he would've known much sooner.

### Beta Day 12

Once BabyMoment joined on Beta Day 12, he immediately visited the aftermath of Chernobyl's Nuclear Catastrophe. He contributed to the project by creating a "CUM ZONE →" statue, building the Stairway to Hell in opposition to the Stairway to Heaven, and by placing odd signs everywhere.

Afterwards, BabyMoment heard news of the server closing on the next day instead of Beta Day 15. This encouraged BabyMoment to grind with his new enchanted fishing rod. His anvil went to use for enchanting a variety of his armors and tools, allowing BabyMoment to greatly expanded his Iranian mine and garner more resources. This decision was extremely important for Crudelstan's survival during the server's future catastrophes.

Later, BabyMoment followed Eret around during his tour of the server. Once he visited Iran, the region reminded BabyMoment to finish his second banner for The Ziggurat of Tehran. After gathering resources and receiving donations from Blizziran, BabyMoment created a second banner for the Ziggurat.

After the tour, Eret decided to bomb Hawaii for a second time. Crudelstan participated in the defensive front of the battle against Eret with dozens of other belligerents. The defensive front lost the conflict once a ~~obvious backdoor hacker~~ perfectly legit person named Creepaface paddled Eret to safety at the speed of light. This was the first real battle that Crudelstan participated in.

### Beta Day 13

At the dawn of Beta Day 13, BabyMoment quickly expanded Crudelstan's afk fishing farm. He then met up with Denightwalker in Malacca and listened to the ward disc with Denight's parrots. Afterwards, he explored Artralyx's nearby volcano and Kara's Dragon.

Once BabyMoment finished his tour, he started to prepare for the server's final hours. He constantly fished to collect more experience and enchantments for his equipment. During this process, Blizziran's Operation World Storm started where they encouraged multiple factions from around the world to combine with their faction and ultimately give them more claiming power. BabyMoment was one of the belligerents that participated in this operation, forcing Crudelstan to incorporate itself into Blizziran.

Once SMP Earth's admins logged onto the server, 5w\_ forced them to grant Blizziran 20,000 faction power points. During this moment, BabyMoment saw a perfect opportunity to reclaim his lost land. BabyMoment persuaded 5w\_ to give him moderator in the faction in order to help with the operation. Instead of contributing to the operation, BabyMoment reclaimed land from Kuwait all the way to Qatar for Blizziran's Iranian territory. Though this was a huge feat for BabyMoment, the moment was essentially obsolete to the eventually successful operation.

During the server's last hour, the admins' started to annihilate the server, leading to the destruction of Blizziran's Ziggurat of Tehran and the death of many, including BabyMoment. While this occured, many factions started targeting Blizziran after they seized almost all territory. Eventually, the world's borders were demolished (☭) as the bombings diminished the server's tps. Eventually, Josh opened an end portal at the server's spawn where thousands of withers and stacks of tnt spawned, decimating the server's population.

After the server's genocide, Crudelstan and every other faction on the server vanished. The SMP Earth Beta Server finally ended.
