Grennisia

Grennisia is a country founded on August 29, 2023, in the continent of Ferisia. Its capital is the city Grennis. Grennisia is considered to be the greenest country in the Takeawalk Minecraft Universe and combines its urban environment with numerous lush forests and parks. It runs completely on renewable green energy, as well as the cars, electronics, houses, and other buildings. There are different ways the city has expressed its goal to be green, including every house having solar panels on it.

## History

### Real-Life

#### Creation

Grennisia was originally founded on July 22, 2019, on a default world with the same seed as Centennial City.

#### Restart & Redesign

For a while I had been thinking about restarting the continent and create it so that it matches how I want it to look, like creating the land and mountains, and using mods. So, on August 29, 2023, I restarted it. I also decided to expand the world by adding more surrounding cities and towns after the setup of Halton is done. As the world had a big grid-VG like structure, it was easy to plan where the next municipalities would go. The planning was underway, and on MMMM DD, YYYY the country's capital Grennis was started.

### In-Universe

#### Discovery

In 1809, a large group of explorers led by Tom Grennis that included Walter Green, Louis Halton, and Jordon Davis travelled west from the country tbd, hoping to find new land and make it very environmental and run only on renewable resources. After tbd days, they eventually did and claimed it. Mr. Grennis decided to name it Grennisia after himself (1809). Soon after, Mr. Green discovered their settlement and named it Greensburg (1809). After living there for a while, they discovered that it was an island, and saw more land in the distance that seemed big enough to be mainland. So, they eventually headed there and landed on what is now the village of Davisville (1810). After settling there for a while, they decided to explore more of the land. They decided to split into two groups and return to their settlement once they had found land. Mr. Grennis’s group headed west, and Mr. Halton’s group headed north. After a while, Mr. Halton had found area that was good enough to claim (flat land and bays) and named it after himself (1810) (the city of Halton later changed its name to Old Halton when mayor Thomas Dewey decided to expand the city). Following Mr. Halton’s discovery, Mr. Grennis soon found an area near a mountain and a lake that looked good enough to claim so he named it after himself, and it became what is now known as the city of Grennis (1810). Once they came back, they shared what they had found. They decided to expand both places, and Mr. Grennis decided to make the capital turn into Grennis since *he* founded it, and it was a better area for the capital to be. They also decided to make the island a state in the country and named it Grennisia Island (1811). After a while of expanding the areas, they decided to make this land a state in the country as well and named it Grennisota (1812). As time went on, more land was discovered, more municipalities were settled, and more states were created, up until 1822 when Mr. Grennis was in the Brennico State Capitol Building, about to sign a document that made the country official with 8 states. He was getting ready to sign, when someone ran to him and told him that a family was in a boat headed for them. Mr. Grennis and his staff waited for them to land and found out that they were called the Wender Family, and they were a group of explorers who had just found land and named it Wenderland. Mr. Grennis and his staff were fascinated by this, and Mr. Grennis said that the land they found should be a part of his country. They denied at first, but after Mr. Grennis offered them a lot of money, they decided it was best for them to take the deal, so they accepted, and now another state was born - Wender Island (1822). Right after this, Mr. Grennis's staff changed the document, adding the new state before Mr. Grennis finally signed the document, officially making Grennisia a country, a green country with nine states, instead of eight (1822).
