Aerial Combat

Aerial Combat in datblock polis is a often undervalued field of combat in wars. Through a variety of tactics, aerial combat both lags behind, equals to, and outpaces against naval and ground combat

## OVERVIEW

Aerial combat is divided into multiple categories that are based off of conditions such as

-Aircraft used

-Aircraft's passenger load

-Weapons used

-Speed

-Reaction from the opposing ground forces

-Reactions from opposing air forces

Each category is also designated a specific I.D number, which helps in tactical orders. The numbers come from a real life aircraft that fufills the role

## LOGISTICAL (C-130)

The most commonly used form of aerial combat, logistical flights range from single rides on personal planes to 8 players transported on a private plane. Often, flights like these are used to initiate a siege, since the dismounted player would revert to a ground capability.

A sub-category of the Logistical is air assault, which uses multiple soldiers on one helicopter to assault a siege location. It's common for the pilot to dismount, however large formations will require multiple flights to input said soldiers.

## STRIKE FLIGHTS (F-14)

Strike flights are the second most common flight, however it is not as widely used as logistical flights. Strike flights will consist of a fast moving dual-seater equipped with firearms or explosives. Commonly used in a anti-infantry format, the strike capability often is used by peaceful towns in the small chance they deploy personel.

## DOGFIGHTING (F-16)

Dogfighting is a rare situation. Dogfighting often comes as a result of aviation interceptions. Dogfighting is regarded as a very difficult combat level for both sides, because both will face a target that travels at tens of blocks per second. Because of this, interception aircraft are often MIG-1's, with pilots equipped with assault rifles and around 5-7 stacks of ammunitions

## ADVANTAGES

-Those who lack pvp skills may actually become effective pilots, since it's a long range field of warfare

-States that use separate air components will find a availability of aid to ground forces, ranging from air support all the way to evacuation or transportation.

-States will often use fighter planes to protect airspace from outside factors, which can benefit them both defensively and propaganda wise

## DISADVANTAGES

-Strike assaults are often very dangerous due to the exposed dive that a bombing run would bring

-Due to game crashes and glitches, it's very risky for teams to deploy pilots since it's essentially free points

## EXAMPLES

-Florida Air National Guard (MRFS-103, MRFS-103, MRTS-111)

-Florida Army National Guard (101st Airbourne Regiment)

-Ironwood Air Force
Classes

video File:Placeholder
Classes are a feature in Gladia that grants effects by wearing specific types of armor. Currently, there are 2 classes, the Miner class and the Bard class.

## Miner Class

The Miner class can be activated by wearing a full set of iron armor (with or without enchantments). This class grants Haste I and Fire Resistance to the wearer. It is useful for excavating large areas as well as Nether activities.

## Bard Class

The Bard class can be activated by wearing a full set of gold armor (with or without enchantments). This class grants Speed II, Fire Resistance, Regeneration I and Resistance II to the wearer. Bard classes also have a unique value called Bard energy. The energy builds up over time and caps at 60.

The Bard class is able to hold or use certain items to grant abilities to party members within a 30 block radius. When an item is held, it will grant a weak version of the effect to teamates while using no energy. When an item is used by right clicking, it will grant a stronger version of the effect to teamates but with the cost of the item being used as well as a certain amount of energy.
French Revolt Against Great Britannia

### Cause

Following the inactivity of France, the nation of Great Britannia chose to take over old French. Their conquests met no resistance but drew the attention of the previous French ruler Ashjack1999.

### Terrorism

The day after France fell, Ashjack1999 began a spree of terrorism, attacking members of both Great Britannia and their ally Hansa. This eventually culminated in the nuking of Britannian city Athamault in South Africa.

### Peace

Following the nuking, Britannian leader uuwuwu opened negotiations, and an agreement was reached. France was to remain an autonomous region of Britannia, with Ashjack1999 as minister. This stopped all attacks, and prompted the return of all stolen items from previous attacks.
Boston Logan Airfield

Airport runway

Boston Logan Airfield is an airport situated in Boston, Massachusetts, on Gaia. It was the first commercial airport to be built on Datearth.

## History

The airport was requested by bencrab1 so that GIA could service the airport. It started construction on 4 September, and the runway was completed on 6 September. The airport had a road leading to the runway. It was approved by Airplaneguy9.

On 15 September, the helipad was completed. This allowed the first GIA flight, GA9001, to service the airport from Kaapstad Airport. The test flight, captained by WilliamCRES and Airplaneguy9, arrived safely 10 minutes after departure. Bencrab1 was there to welcome them.

On 20 September, construction of a new parking area and terminal building started. The airport will undergo a revamp and review before opening to the public.

The airport was abandoned on 2 October when GIA shut down.

## Ground transportation

### Road

The airport was previously accessible from a road leading north to the runway, which has been closed off. A highway north of Boston will be expanded to include a drop-off section at the new terminal.

## Accidents and incidents

* On September 20, 2019, GIA flight 9002 departed for a second time en route to La Paz after a problem in the aircraft forced it to turn back. The aircraft, shortly after departure, kicked its passenger out, before disappearing over the Gulf of Mexico. It has since not been found. An investigation was launched into the accident.

## Trivia

* The Johannesburg Embassy is situated next to the runway. It is said to have the best planespotting balcony on Gaia.
Church of Lambsauce

The Church of Lambsauce worships the server owner, Lambsauce, as a server diety and godlike figure.

## History

### March 2019

In Venice, Serene Doge GeneralHunter was enlightened by Lambsauce, who at that time was frequently active on Gaia . Following up on this enlightenment GeneralHunter constructed the very first Lambsaucian Church, which in turn was the first structure built in Venice.

### April 2019

By April, the faith spread across the Atlantic and to Boston. The Bostonian Lambsaucian Church was the first church constructed outside of Europe. During April, Lambsauce gifted one of the most holy items on Gaia to GeneralHunter: The Holy head of Lambsauce himself. The holy artifact was carefully guarded in the Venetian Lambsaucian Church.

### May 2019

By May, the newly established town of Radville adopted the Lambsaucian faith as well. This is where the Church of Lambsauce reached its height, with followers spanning from Canada to Italy.

### June-August 2019

With the fall of Venice, the religious center for the Church got shifted to Boston. The new leader of the faith, bencrab1, kept asking for the holy head of Lambsauce, but the new owner of Venice refused every offer. The holy relic will never again be in the land of the Church of Lambsauce. During the Dark Ages of Gaia, a player in Venice stole the holy head of Lambsauce from the church, and has never been seen since.

### September 2019

On September 20, Area 51 Day was declared a holy day by the Church and honors the brave souls who stormed Area 51. By September 27, the Church of Lambsauce reached out to Nova and has a small follower base on that world.

## Patron Saints

Sainthood in the church is granted to players who have benefitted the church.

### bencrab1

bencrab1 kept the Church of Lambsauce alive during the Gaia dark ages, allowing it to further flourish on Nova and other worlds.

### GeneralHunter

GeneralHunter was the first pope of the Church, and was solely responsible for its creation.

### Mendicity

Mendicity was the first Lambsaucian priest and responsible for Nova's introduction to the true faith.
Delta Empire (Nova)

The Delta Empire was formed by the merging of the Texan Nationalist Republic and the Carolina Republic on April 19th, 2020. The nation is made up of 17 towns with 116 residents in the nation. The nation has since dissolved and been mostly absorbed into the Polaris States. This was done under CoronaYeet's reign.

## Background

The Vow to Stop Imperialism in North America:

Both CoronaYeet and NotoriousIGG saw the issue that foreign powers could cause in the North American area. Gweat\_Bwittania, Russia, and other nations from other continents started to make towns in America. While some towns were made with borders in mind, other towns such as Tulsa and The\_Heart\_of\_Texas were made within Texan borders.

A few days before, the two had formed a close alliance and vowed to fight off imperial powers from the North American continent. After seeing their potential when teamed together during the Florida and Russia war timeframe, NotoriousIGG (formerly Notorius\_IGGSTER) began to consider merging the two nations. After a few days, the two decided to merge.

*"If we don't start pushing them back, we could see a huge issue with another war between major powers in our land."* - NotoriousIGG on the abundance of Bwittanian towns around The Delta Empire's territory.

## Government Leaders:

**NotoriousIGG** is the Emperor, with **CoronaYeet**as his Co-Emperor and head of the Carolinian towns. Notorious\_IGG is the leader of the Texan towns. Most of the Officers of the Government were carried over from Texas, with **Creeperkillergah**being the Speaker of the House/National Officer of the State. **MapleSunflower**is the Treasurer for the nation. **ShogunateXen** is the Officer of National Defense. There is no Secretary of State as of 4/20/20.

## Wars:

So far, the Delta Empire has not fought in any wars. The Carolina Republic and the Texas Nationalist Republic fought a short war with Land\_of\_Liberty and New\_Republic before the two made peace and became allies. The war was caused by paranoia and fear of them sieging towns in North America.
Indonesian Empire

The Indonesian Empire now known as New Indonesia, is a nation that was a target of inactivity, it had a few towns Kamaru, Bikeru, Cebu City, Sabatown, Batavia, Area, and Farmstead. The capital of the nation now is Kamaru, and the new leader is jwall1, LostSoul03 used to lead the nation. Many towns in Indonesian Empire are mostly inactive. Unfortunately Kamaru is one of them, but it is a great town called beautiful by many.
Kaapstad Airport

Airport nearly done with construction

Kaapstad Airport is an airport located in Kaapstad, the geographical location of Cape Town. It was the first airport to be built and opened.

## History

The airport started construction on September 1, 2019. The process took long, and airport was built by Airplaneguy9. It consisted of a tiny wooden terminal, which has two gates; one for GIA, one for other airlines, and a sand taxiway. The runway was dug out but not completed.

Later, after Boston Logan finished runway construction, Airplaneguy9 managed to obtain terracotta and finish the runway. Days later, WilliamCRES built a perimeter fence and a helipad. As final touches were done, the airport was opened by Airplaneguy9 on September 15.

The airport remains as an airport for testing, as Johannesburg Airport has not been completed yet. Recently, two GIA test flights to Boston were completed. However, the airport has now been abandoned due to GIA shutting down.

## Ground transportation

### Car

The Southern Highway, running between a UAS outpost and the South Pole, passes through Kaapstad, where there is a small road leading to the airport terminal. Another road between Cape Town and Kaapstad also leads to the terminal.

### Ship

The Kaapstad Harbour is nearby, and it is a 10 second walk from the Boardwalk to the airport.

## Accidents and incidents

Kaapstad Airport is the safest airport on Gaia

## Trivia

* The airport is notorious for one of the hardest landings on Datearth, due to Table Mountain in the west and the Overberg in the east
* The airport is kept under guard, because it is out in the wilderness
* Its Nova equivalent is Cape Town International Airport.
Madagascar

Madagascar, founded on July 18, was one of the first planned nations of Gladius, dating back to the beginning of the world. Madagascar is currently intended to be a nation of trade, led by cdn\_. It is currently comprised of two towns, both of which being on the island of Madagascar, with the capital being Marovoay. Madagascar has not been involved in any international conflict at the time of writing.

## National Summary

A watchtower in Marovoay with the nation's flag topping it
Carthage (Nova)

**Carthage** is a prominent nation on Nova, first established in Nova's early history and later reformed in February 2020 from the remnants of Carthazhao Mexarus.

## History

### Succeeded by

Carthazhao Mexarus

Carthage was one of the first nations formed on Nova. Primarily located in North Africa, Carthage was one of the most powerful nations of early Nova.

Later in its history, the Carthaginian state formed a rivalry with another prominent nation, Avar, which brought conflict and war, such as World War Nova. After the end of this war, the Nova Triumvirate, of which Carthage was part, decided to merge and form a supernation. Carthage was disbanded on November 16, 2019, and merged into the supernation of Carthazhao Mexarus.
Military

Polis is hometo many military conflicts and groups. Because of this, many towns and nations have invested heavily in their defense.

**MILITIA**

A militia is a town based group where citizens of a town join together to defend in sieges and incidents. They sometimes double as law enforcement, such as the Eagle Republic National Guard. They are the most common type of force on Polis

**NATIONAL ARMY**

A national army draws upon people from multiple towns to go on both offensive and defensive missions. They usually are the rivals to militias. Examples include the Global Federation Army and the Eagle republic army.

***AIR FORCE***

The reason it is italicized is due to a Air Force being more unconventional. Air forces are often used as air support and air transportation. Examples include the Ironwood federation Air Force and the Eagle republic air forces

***Navy/coast guard***

Often used for transportation and coastal defense, navies are uncommon on polis with only a couple known examples: The ironwood navy, the first Eagle republic navy (now the Eagle republic naval guard) and the former Midway Naval Defense

***Marine Corp***

As of now, only the Eagle Republic possesses a marine corp. Marines are specialized forces equipped for expeditionary roles and counter-terrorism. Marines are often used as snipers in the Eagle republic.
In-game Age of Nations

## What This Is

By doing some simple math, one can find how many in-game years has passed from two select dates.  This page offers the equation needed to find how old a nation/city/player is and also gives how old some of the notable nations are.  This page is purely for people who care about RP and can include nations from Gladia, Nova, and Elysia.  Please enter in the ages of any nation you so wish to put in.

## The Equation

I am going to simplify the math done to find this.

20 Minutes = In Game Day-Night Cycle

x3

1 Hour = 3 In Game Day-Night Cycles

x24

1 IRL Day = 72 In Game Day-Night Cycles

365 Days / 72 = ~5 (The exact number is 5.069444444...)

So the ratio for IRL Days : 1 In Game Year is ...

5:1

So in order to find out how old a nation is, use this site to find out how many IRL days a nation has been up, then take that number and simply divide it by 5.  That number is the in-game age in years. Also, make sure to include the end date in calculation.

## Additional Notes for Contributors

Whenever a nation is updated or added, make sure you put what date it was updated as every single day, the age technically increases.

In case you do not know when a nation was created, here are the links.  If you are online in the world, you can also run the command "/n [nation name]" to find out when it was founded.

Phoenicia

Phoenicia's Mediterranean plans

Phoenicia was an eastern Mediterranean country situated in the historic region of Phoenicia (that originated in modern day Lebanon). It was the first nation to be founded on Novus, by Holy\_Divinity whose city, Tyre was the capital of the nation and headquarters of the Tyrian Cothon, which for the the first half of Novus' history was the trade hub of the world and quickly became the richest city in Novus.

Before going inactive, the Melekh of Phoenicia, Holy\_Divinity had planned to move the national capital to Carthage, which had much more available land to expand the city into a metropolis. While Tyre was a very well established city and commercial hub, its natural terrain greatly limited its expansive capacity.

The map of Phoenicia's Mediterranean plans as shown, which showed the nation's ambitions. Although many of these cities were never settled, the entirety of the Eastern Mediterranean's cities were settled and such settlements like Carthage, Melita, Caralis, Masillia, Icosium, Ibiza and Panormus in the western Mediterranean were also settled in due time.
Emirates flight 4

Rescue services arriving after the crash

Emirates flight 4 (callsign EK04T/UAE004) was a test flight between Cape Town and Dubai. On 19 October 2019, the aircraft crashed off the coast of Cape Town, shortly after departure.

## Aircraft

The aircraft involved was registered as RI-EKA, delivered new to Emirates on October 17, 2019. It was only two days old at the time of the crash, and had logged around 12 minutes of flight time.

## On board

* **Pilot** - HH Sheikh AramUEA, the Mayor of Dubai and the CEO of Emirates Airlines
* **Passenger** - Airplaneguy9, owner of FlyNovus, CEO of the Nova Aviation Authority, and the Minister of Transportation of Nova America

## Flight

The aircraft landed in Cape Town at approximately 12:59 GMT as EK03T, on the dug-out Runway 27, where it prepared for its flight back to Dubai. At around 13:04 GMT, Nova Control cleared the aircraft to Dubai, and told it to maintain a cruising altitude of 220 (y altitude).

Nova Control cleared the aircraft to depart Runway 27 at 13:05 GMT, and the aircraft left the ground shortly after. Witnesses saw the aircraft attempt to make a right hand turn, slow down, and descend quickly into the ocean, creating a loud splash.

Both passengers quickly evacuated the sinking aircraft, and a rescue boat arrived at the wreckage site at 13:22 GMT, 14 minutes after the crash. The boat picked up the passengers, and arrived back at the harbour at 13:26 GMT.

## Aftermath

HH Sheikh AramUEA requested for a mod to locate the missing aircraft, and apologised on behalf of Emirates Airlines.

Emirates flights were indefinitely cancelled, and Cape Town Int'l Airport was closed to all flights following the crash.

On the October 22, Emirates announced that the aircraft had been recovered, and that Emirates flights would officially begin again on the October 25. With the aircraft found, it was decided to start the investigation, and the NAA began its investigation.

On October 30, the NAA published its results: the pilot had lost control of the aircraft due to mechanical failure, and the plane, unable to use its engines, slowed down too fast. The pilot, instead of pitching down to gain airspeed, pitched up to try and gain height. This did not work, and made the plane lose more speed and stall further, before crashing into the ocean.

RI-EKA was eventually re-registered as A6-EKA, and operated until December 2019 when Emirates ceased operations. The aircraft is stored at Dubai Airport, where FlyNovus expects to take on the aircraft should demand rise.

Brazilian Empire - Nova

The Brazilian Empire (formerly the South American Union) is a nation based in Brazil led by Gocelinus. This nation, previously holding the top second spot on Nova, has a very organized military as well as holding power of the entire Continent of South America

## History

### **CaptainKorv's Reign**

The Brazilian Empire wasn't always named that. The nation began as the South American Union created on March 2, 2020. The SAU then disbanded on March 27, 2020. The nation reformed as the Persian Empire for the sole reason as another superpower against the arc during World War Nova 4. After the war, Korv moved his nation back into South America and renamed into the Brazilian Empire. Because the SAU had been out of South America for over a week, many new towns and nations had settled in the nation, knowing they owned that land. CaptainKorv ordered over 6 attacks in one week on small towns, annexing the continent once more. Because the nation was now an empire, they required an Emperor. Korv filled that spot becoming Emperor CaptainKorv The First. Under the first Emperor of Brazil, many residents were chosen as the Caesar of the Empire otherwise known as the Second-In-Command or the person to succeed the Emperor. The first Caesar of the Empire was largeTitanic2. A resident known for his building and diplomacy skills, but not known for being very active. The next Caesar was LopFisherman. The previous Co-King of the South American Union, CaptainKorv had a strong relationship with Lop and the choice was easy. Not long after, LopFisherman was permanently banned from Datblock. This badly hurt the empire and forced the leader to pick another Caesar. LopFisherman chose Von Kentucky as the next Caesar considering he had been active, participated in many battles, and had earned Gocelinus's trust. He was named Caesar Von Kentucky the third and still remains Caesar to this day.

Great Lakes

## Foundation

The Great Lakes were founded the 28th of August, after ambitions to get member towns were finally met. It was formed by Aaronjma and Zericef and consisted of ~~3~~ towns. The nation was forged in a time of peace to bring unity to the Great Lakes region.

## Overview

As time progressed, a few towns would join and sometimes leave the nation. Towns such as Buffalo, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Montreal, and others became permanent or temporary members. The nations original expansion policy was entirely peaceful and members were free to come and go. The 3 towns that never changed were Goshen, Mushroom Town, and Mackinaw. The nation was founded primarily on the ideas of isolationism, peace, and trade. The nation first began to trade with its closest neighbors and allies, Ohio and The Republic of America. As the nation began to break out of its isolationist shell, it would open a public n spawn to trade at, and begin a more international policy. The nation would even engage in an infrastructure project where it built many canals and made the Great Lakes entirely navigable from the Mississippi River to Canada as a sign of the connected future. As time went on, and as the Great Lakes drifted further from its closest neighbor and ally, the Republic of America, the nation would fall under attack more often. Consistent attacks by some of the servers more notorious terrorist players would drive the nation to a more militaristic playstyle. Towards the end of the life of Gladius the nation would begin building XP farms, gear factories, potions, all the weapons of war. This would also cause the nation to take a more expansionist policy to secure its borders. A notable conflict would be the skirmishes between the Great Lakes players, and members belonging to the town of Chicago and its nation. This conflict originated from Chicago's refusal to secure its public n spawn causing it to work as a springboard for terrorism in the region. The Great Lakes would attempt to bring Chicago into their nation, unsuccessfully, for the remainder of the server's life.
Oceanic Federation

The Oceanic Federation is a nation started by StoopadBatman and xXAtticatPlayzXx on the 25th of June 2020. It was made in Australia at the capital OFHQ. On the 1st of July 2020 the Arcan Empire sieged their ally, Asa for no reason, this brought OF into the war but they never really had a powerful military and this started to lead to their downfall. The Arcan Empire sieged OFHQ the capital and was winning the siege by 42k points, it seemed to everyone in the Oceanic Federation they were going to fall, the next day the points were lowered to 38k.

The nation soon fell after the war due to xXAtticatPlayzXx abandoning it and StoopadBatman had merged with Asa.
Gran-Brasil (Polis)

## History

Gran-Brasil Socialista (Officially known as Gran-Brasil) is a South America based nation, headed by newlover, and co-operated by Daemon\_Sultan and redstoen (formerly known as czka). The nation was first conceptualized long before the Polis release, going by the names "Huevo" and later "The Syndicate". It was officially founded on April 1st, 2021, with Polis (town) as its capital.
Shortly before Polis was released, newlover, due to political conflict over the UAP's handling of terrorism in South America, created the "International World Union", meant as a global anti-terrorist organization. This sparked lots of controversy, especially with the nation of Polaris, who heavily opposed the union and newlover's tactics.

## Ideology

The nation of Gran-Brasil is socialist, originally being anarcho communist. The change came into effect shortly before the release of Polis, due to anarchism not being realistically manageable on a large scale in Datearth.

# Conflicts

* Cold War

The Cold War is a currently ongoing conflict between Polaris and the nation of Gran-Brasil. After newlover created the IWU, Polaris strongly expressed their opinions in a war declaration, which was shared to the public. Polaris has made clear their demands, that being removal of newlover from power, and disbanding the IWU. After much negotiating between the two parties, no conclusion or agreement has been made.
Persia (Novus/W4)

"plain flag" of the Persian Republic

Ruling party: USP

## The Persian Republic is a nation in Novus founded on the 18th of June, 2019.

The first town founded,that would ultimately become the capital :Persepolis, is the main hub for the nation,as it contains the 2 most iconic buildings in Persia; The town hall and the Parliament,each decorated with the Persian flag at the top.

### ***Humble Begginings***

-Persepolis first started out as a small settlement in North-Eastern Iran,just south of the Caspian. All it was,was a ring of cacti with some chests and furnaces in the middle. As it expanded, huge,interlocking sandstone streets were built,lined with houses and shops,all surrounding the main building :

The town hall and Parliament.

Next came the walls.Big,tall,sandstone walls surrounded the entire city north to south,east to west,with 4 main gates for entry.

### ***Expansion***

-For now, Persepolis, who had just gotten independence from the Byzantines, only controled the northern part

Budapest

Budapest began to be settled the same day the world of Gladius released. Originally settled by nekat\_si\_eman, MrN3ther soon joined in, and the town grew from there. Budapest is the capital of the province of Hungary, and the secondary capital of Austria Hungary during nekat's shifts as empress.

## Town Summary

The recently finished main plaza of Budapest

Budapest, located east of Vienna, and north of Belgrade.

## Development

Plans are in place for several large buildings based on real life design to surround the 4 sides of the current plaza, and to install foreign trading posts within the plaza itself to promote commerce.

Many houses in Budapest are constructed from the local woods, including dark oak, spruce, and oak, alongside stone, cobblestone, or stone bricks. These houses lay on a foundation of grass surrounded by cobblestone stairs and spruce logs, raised one level above the ground.

## Colonial Ambitions

Outposts from Budapest have already come into existence, following an agreement with Kaiser Holy\_Divinity stating Austria would take Gibraltar, and Budapest would take Suez. There are plans to make an outpost town in Suez, by allowing citizens to chose between living in the colony of Suez, or the main town. A canal has been finished in order to allow the public easy access to the Indian Ocean and the east in general.

## Resources

Budapest is surrounded by primarily spruce and dark oak trees, allowing for a much darker build design. Dark oak trees also drop apples, making them easy to gather. Gold is also in abundance in the Hungarian area. These two combined allow for golden apples to be crafted for combat or for villager curing. However, diamond and iron are rarely found in Hungary.

Carthazhao Mexarus (Nova)

**Carthazhao Mexarus** was the supernation created from the merger of Carthage, Mexico and Belarus on November 16, 2019. The name reflected each of the constituent nations, as well as that of Zhao, which was part of a now-rollbacked merger on November 12, 2019. The idea of Carthazhao Mexarus emerged around the time of World War Nova, to combat the growing power of Avar and its allies.

## History

### Formation of Carthazhao Mexarus

*See also: World War Nova*

After World War Nova in early November, the nations of Carthage, Mexico, Zhao and Belarus, who were aligned against Avar and its allies, started to make plans for a united supernation to defeat Avar. The plans were leaked to Avarian authorities prior to the unification; with the surprise of the formation blown, the nations started the merge and Carthazhao Mexarus was born on November 12, 2019. In response, the Avarians planned to merge with their allies. However, the nations were merged incorrectly and the server was rolled-back, prior to the unification of both Carthazhao Mexarus and Avar's nation. Carthazhao Mexarus was then reborn a few days later on November 16, 2019, after Carthaginian leader DeltaOrion announced that his nation would be disbanded and the towns were to be joining Mexico. Belarussian leader coo1o quickly followed suit, but Zhao's leader, sevenplan, announced that Zhao would be remaining independent and not joining the revived supernation.

### War with Avar

*Main article: Avar-Carthazhao Mexarussian War (Nova)*

On November 20, 2019, Carthazhao Mexarus declared war on Avar to bring a decisive end to the ailing nation. Due to a bug in the war system, Datearth staff declared a ceasefire on the war prior to it beginning and so the war ended in a draw on November 26, 2019.

### Decline of Carthazhao Mexarus

As the release of Gladia neared, many important figures in Carthazhao Mexarus stopped playing on Nova. This resulted in the fall of many Carthazhao Mexarussian towns during December 2019 and January 2020. With the collapse of the former capitals, Simul and Glaciosimul, control of the nation was passed to Belarus and later Carthage. With many of the former overseas possessions lost, the nation dropped its name and reverted to Carthage.

Galactic Republic (Polis)

## The Galactic Republic

### **The Creation of the Republic**

The Galactic Republic was created from the remnants of Dacia, Australia and Somalia and later reformed into a republic. It was founded on 15.07.2022 by the High Chancellor Utkuyy. The first **Galactic Defense Alliance** was formed with **Dacia and Somalia**. In the next period, full dominance was achieved in the lost **Australian cities and vassalage in New Zealand**.

#### **Division of the Republic**

In the process following these events, there was a difference of opinion among the parliament. This difference of opinion caused the disintegration of the republic and caused a long interregnum. Since the documents and data about the events were not recorded, lost or destroyed, there is not much information about these events. It was stated that the main cities of the Galactic Republic, including the capital, were so destroyed that they could not be inhabited.

#### **The Interregnum**

Interregnum was the time when High Chancellor Utkuyy seized the **Philippine Islands with the resources such as money, weapons and people left over from the Republic** and made an effort to hold on there. After holding on for a long time, the remnants of the Republic disappeared.

## The Recreation of the Galactic Republic

### The Recolonization of New Zealand

After being absent for a long time, **the abrupt Republic forces took over parts of southern and all of New Zealand's north**. With the proclamation of the Galactic Republic once again, the new capital of the Republic became **New Plymouth**. After a while, the old Republic cities, which still managed to survive, rejoined the Republic.

#### **The Recreation of the Galactic Defence Alliance**

The Galactic Defense Alliance, which was re-established for the second time, was re-formed at the **Ambatukam Conference between the forces of the Galactic Republic, the Latin Union, the Jag, and the Anti-National Federation**.

Gladia Shipping

**Gladia Shipping Line Ltd.** is a shipping company that runs passenger and cargo shipping services. The company is 15% owned by FlyNovus, and is based in Sotho on Gladia..

## History

### Early Days

After Airplaneguy9 started his airline FlyNovus, he considered a cruise line using the standard Minecraft boats used in-game. He touched on the idea, but discarded it due to many reasons including unrealistic expectations, and no way of naming ships and distinguishing between ships.

He then realised on 29 October 2019 that he could easily make a cruise line with what he had, and try and make it as realistic as Minecraft could let him. He made an itinerary, decided to order three birch ships as they were whiter and more distinguished than the normal oak or jungle boats, and announced the opening of the lines. The *MS Seven Seas* was named by CometzCraft, ordered by Nova Cruises on 29 October and arrived on 15 November. The next two have yet to be ordered and named. All of the three ships will be built by Comet Shipyards, and will be delivered from Mikawa

The company was renamed Datearth Cruises on October 31, due to Airplaneguy9 announcing new routes and ships on Gladia, and ships for Gaia and Terra, then to Gladia Shipping to reflect Airplaneguy9's choice of also shipping cargo on Gladia.

## Prices

* Passenger sightseeing trip - **50 Bantu Rands**/stop (R50/stop | $25/stop)

The Global Federation Was quickly labeled as a "Mega Nation" by the Polis community, and this created great backlash that fueled the fires of the MNR.

The Mega Nation Resistance was disbanded by parson1 after the Global Federation had lost many towns, and was considered a mega nation no more.

Avar-Nigerian War

## Context

The Avar-Nigerian War began with Nigeria breaking free of the Songhai Empire and then warring Carthage. Avar, being allies to Carthage, went to war with Nigeria as a result. This war would be famous for the first major siege of any town on Nova: the Siege of Tondibi.

## First Stages of the War

Nigeria before the war consisted of two towns: Tondibi and Kumasi. The war began on October 7, 2019, and the Carthaginian and Avarian forces quickly secured Kumasi, which would lead to the Siege of Tondibi.

### Siege of Tondibi

The Siege would be the first large-scale siege of a capital city on Nova. Beginning a day or so after the war began, Tondibi has been under constant siege for more than two days, slowly being conquered by Avar.

In the midst of the siege, Avar came up with the military strategy of having as many poorly equipped players inside the city limits as possible, as an intimidation tactic and a way to end the siege faster. During the siege, Avar soldiers sat bored and waiting for the siege to end, while tending to the crops and exploring the city. However, by the time the photo to the right had been taken, Notewoke of Laika, a visitor to the siege, nuked all of the forces taken in the photo, almost breaking the siege.

## Aftermath

By October 10, the war came to an end, as Nigeria became fully incorporated into the Avar nation. Nigeria would be the first nation to be completely conquered by another nation.
