Plainsville

**Plainsville** is the name of the country of the Minecraft SMP. Discovered in May 2021 by Guest5647, it is located in a plains biome near a desert. Inside the country is a village which had a cobblestone wall built around in May 2021 shortly after being discovered.

## History

On the 12th May 2021, Guest5647 set up the 3rd Minecraft SMP. He began exploring in a desert biome where the spawn location is and gathered materials. Hours later Guest went on a journey to locate a good area to found the new country. He eventually came across a village in a plains biome near deserts, and this was the beginning of Plainsville.

Since the village had been discovered, a wall was constructed around it to protect it's civilians from, as well as a large amount of torches being placed. On the same day, CityDudeEthan and nothingbutrisk made their way over to the village and started work on their homes. Guest began creating a house to the west of the village (located to the west of the village inside the wall) whilst Ethan started work on a small cobblestone shack and risk started creating a ship in the ocean.

Almost immediately after housing had been completed, the industrial revolution in Plainsville had begun. Mining in the nether for netherite became one of the main things people would spend time doing, and construction on small farms had begun such as cobblestone generators and a leather/steak machine.

In June, a mysterious amythest geode had been discovered on the surface which had fooled some people - Didi504 in particular - into thinking it was natural despite it being put there by Guest. After this, activity in Plainsville had reduced a lot until early September.

In September 2021, more resources had been gathered and automatic farms had became quite frequent. Freedom for the villagers had been improved and free rights of speech was completely allowed by November as the first general elections were held. Around this time a desert village which had been discovered in May was becoming more friendly with Plainsville. Trade between the 2 had increased, although the way the people of Plainsville treated the villagers of the desert village was a way which was viewed as dehumanizing them and so relations between the 2 had broke down.

### Elections

***Main Article:** Plainsville Elections*

On the 6th November 2021, CityDudeEthan was elected as the first president of Plainsville (Guest5647 was the first leader of Plainsville, not to be confused with leader and president). In December 2021, the next election was held which resulted in Guest5647 becoming the president for his first term, and he remained in power until the April 2022 election. The next election in April 2022 resulted in CityDudeEthan being elected as president for his second term.

### Plainsvillian Invasion of the Desert Village

(main article: Plainsville - Desert Village War) Despite tense relations, Plainsville and the desert village were still good trading partners and the people of Plainsville began to see both of the people as one. Because of this, CityDudeEthan propsed an idea to unite the 2 states together. This would meen Plainsville would fully annex the desert village. This idea was put into consideration by Guest who agreed it would be a good idea. In early February, a referendum was held in the desert village to decide if it should join Plainsville. Unfortunately to Plainsville, the desert village wished to remain independent. Because of this, it resulted in Guest and Ethan drawing up plans for war. On the 5th February 2022, a bridge was seen built up connecting Plainsville to the desert from the river. A few hours later, Plainsville troops were seen gathering horses and armour. The desert village had been concerned as a result of this but had no way of defending their selves against an imminent attack. Finally at 11:06 AM, Plainsvillian troops crossed the newly made bridge and went straight into the desert village. This war was quick and resulted in a victory for Plainsville. Following the war, CityDudeEthan became the de facto leader of the new village and construction of a wall and industrialization was started. Plainsville never fully annexed the desert village but it does have full occupation and control over it to this day after every civilian in the desert village was killed during the wars.

### The Third Civil War and current status

The Third Civil War of Plainsville, which rocked the entire government and lead to a revolution, had severely impacted the existence of Plainsville. Currently the government of the May Election is in exile led by Guest5647. The rebels, which had established the Plainsville Commune are making major changes.
