**Occidentalis**, officially the **United States of Occidentalis**, was a nation in the third season of the CloudMC minecraft server, located on the near western reaches of the continent in proximity to Almaren, Swagistan, Terraforge, and Southnka. Founded out of what is now present day Fort Washington, Occidentalis merely existed as a loose alliance of likeminded builders and administrators held together under an undefined hierarchy until the penning of the December Constitution on the 12th of December, 2023, which served to establish the presidency and electoral system which remains to this day.

## History

During the dawn of civilization upon the continent, on the 8th of December, 2023, the American people traveled out from the centre of the world, westwards towards the Occident. Sharing blood lineage, these early nomads kept in good relations with their eastern kin, who would go on to eventually form Almaren and Orientalis. Despite initial settlement being disorganized and chaotic, the industrious and likeminded American people quickly began exploitation of the region, developing minor industry with the creation of Fort Washington's auto-smelter and skeleton farm. Quickly, an unspoken hierarchy began to form with one of the nations founding fathers, H1p0, being recognized as the de facto leader, in turn leading to the declaration of the United States of Occidentalis. Shortly after its formation, Occidentalis began the process of developing its foreign policy doctrine, aligning its self with its neighbouring kindred nations of Almaren and Orientalis. During this period, the nation came into conflict with several groups, the most prolific being KDMIC. Several skirmishes occurred within Fort Washington, perpetuated by by KDMIC, where in the Washington garrison was able to hold its ground and repel the invaders from the settlement.

## Settlements

Occidentalis is home to several settlement locations in various states of development.

### Fort Washington

Fort Washington is the largest city within and capital of Occidentalis. Making up the majority of the Occidentalis population, the city is home to a wealth of important sites, both civil and cultural, including the Liberty Bell Baptists Church, Fort Washington Public Library and Lady Liberty Clock Tower. Fort Washington is now owned by Terraforge.

### Fort Dawson

Fort Dawson is an in development military settlement north of the capital. Headed by Mayor and garrison commander, Sop, the location is planned to serve as a forward operating base for further Occidentalis involvement in the north.

## Constitution

The Occidentalis Constitution, otherwise known as the December Constitution, is a legal document written by Golden establishing the presidential and electoral system for Occidentalis. The article serves as the foundation for all Occidentalis law and may not be altered without a constitutional convention being called to introduce an amendment. The constitution was signed off on by 6 Americans of Occidentalis whom were granted the title of "Founding Father" for said deed. The six founding fathers in order are: goldenchomper, whitescienceman, Rattzen, Alphastarilium, H1p0 and jerser04.
