Moscow

Moscow was founded by Nikolai\_III on July 14th with a wooden house as its main and only building. The town eventually grew to hold a fountain, and an animal farm until Nikolai finally had enough room to begin inviting residents. At the same time, Nikolai\_III was also negotiating with towns in Russia and Finland to co-operate with Moscow to create the nation of Russia.

#### Tranquil & Prosperous Era (July 19th - July 22nd)

After the server turned back on after three days, the town of Moscow blew up in terms of residents, becoming the third largest town on the server, and the city grew with its infastructure. Nikolai\_III had created major stone roads around the town and a river to its south on the reccomendations of endy776, one of the governors of Russia, and new buildings were constructed to accommodate these newcomers.

#### The Conflict of The Horse (July 22nd - July 23rd)

While domestically Moscow was prospering, externally it was feeling the pressure. On July 22 the Conflict of The Horse kicked off when Nikolai\_III fled Rhodesia with its fastest horse to escape death after being told to get off. He ended up in Moscow, to find that Rhodesia was waiting for him to return the horse, only after stealing Moscow's only horse. The issue was brought to the United Nations, a peace body led by the King of Judea on the recommendations of UncleJoStalin, Saint\_Mikheil, and Nikolai\_III. It was during this time Wilhelm\_VI joined Moscow, burnt Hazelfern (a citizen of Rhodesia) to death, killed all three horses present in Moscow (one was Russian, two were Rhodesian) and then ran off to avoid his own death after being kicked out and labelled a terrorist. When the United Nations brought the peace deal to Nikolai\_III, which demanded 20 gold, he refused and stated that he would only give 4 gold, some items, and an apology to Rhodesia. This was refused and Nikolai\_III walked out of negotiations. The Conflict of The Horse came to a close when UncleJoStalin, a resident of Moscow, gave Rhodesia the 20 gold it sought for. He stated "I want to repay all the times Russia came to help me, and end this fighting". Despite only lasting a day, this conflict would leave lasting scars. For one, Russia withdrew its support and left entirely from the UN hours later because it showed them it was simply a tool one could use to weaken other nations, and another is that the alliance between Moscow and Salisbury broke down. While Rhodesia has reopened its embassy to Russia, Russia has not.

#### Return to Tranquility (July 23rd - July 24th)

A day later after the conflict, Russia had become the largest nation, despite not being founded. Nikolai\_III counted 20 members total from all the towns that wanted to join Russia when it came into existence, with the largest being St. Petersburg. Moscow changed quite a bit on this day, as the mentioned river before was expanded, more roads built, and more buildings constructed. It saw the addition of a market place which housed one of its villagers. At the same time, Russia allied itself with Magdeburg, the town aspiring to create Germany and the second largest town on the server.

#### The Italian Crisis (July 24th - July 27th)

On July 24th, Citizens of Rhodesia disbanded their nation and town and migrated to what is now Rome. There, started a conflict on the Italian Peninsula. 3 Nations had claims on the peninsula which intertwined, Spain, Rome, and Germany. Moscow got involved in the situation when Saint\_Mikheil attempted to recruit Lake.Io, the Boyar in charge of St. Petersburg to the nation of Rome. Lake.Io informed Tsar Nikolai\_III of this and he confronted Rome, which they responded with "No comment". Then, Saint tried to have UncleJoStalin, the minister of foreign affairs for Russia, break the alliance with Germany, again, Tsar Nikolai\_III was informed and in no time, Spain, Russia, and Germany had combined arms to crush the Romans. However, Rome came to Russia with an offer, that was, if Rome presented its claims to Germany and Spain and was declined, they would back down, as well as agreeing to not 'encourage' Lake.Io joining Rome. Germany accepted, but Spain didn't give an answer. Rome asked the Tsar that if they went to war with Spain, would Russia stay neutral. Nikolai\_III declined as he was good friends with Spain, especially the mayor of Naples, SirCossack. This proved Romes true intentions, not much to Nikolai's surprise, and was later that night verbally assaulted by Saint for putting the words Roma Delenda Est as his status. The whole crisis came to a stop when Nikolai and Saint got in a call and discussed whats happened, and ultimately the conclusion was miscommunication between all conflicting states. Rome & Spain would agree on the borders of Southern Italy, with Spain keeping all of it, while Spain agreeing to Rome being ceded Northern Italy instead. Germany has yet to comment on this.

#### Idle Times (July 28th - August 3rd)

The Italian Crisis was resolved, but Moscow had lost some residents because of the whole ordeal. UncleJoStalin, Russia's foreign minister of affairs, left the server because he felt as if the whole crisis was made worse by him. Seeing as most other citizens in Moscow were slightly inactive, only Nikolai\_III would be the one working in Moscow, the other being mrawsometom, a moderator. The server was turned off because the developers and Wextra decided to do some extra work on the server to make it better, so not much would happen. Moscow would join the nation of Hansa to make trade with Hamburg easier, but eventually leave it to create Russia.

#### Russia (August 4th - Present)

On August 4th, Moscow created the nation of Russia with the help of endy776, the leader of Karjalanlinna. The mentioned town join Russia, and boosted the nation to number 3 on the /n list page. It was planned that the coronation of Tsar Nikolai\_III take place in Karjalanlinna, because Moscow did not have the place for it. After UncleJo came back to Moscow after his break from the server, Nikolai\_II began some projects in Moscow. They were: Remodel houses which residents gave approval for, build a boat, expand the canal, build and connect houses to make the town feel like an actual town instead of just another Towny town, and construct Moscow's own winter palace in case the coronation was moved to Moscow.
