United Ape Emirates

## **Backstory**

**Beginning**

Basically there were a couple of apes on a far deserted island neighboring the Theia continent. Over time the nonexistent contact with humans and the problems that needed solving in the everyday life prompted some sort of miracle to happen. The Apes gained consciousness. They began to build towns, farms, and houses which would soon create the nation capitol, Ape Town. Soon though apes started to branch out to nearing islands and soon they had gained some adventure seekers that planned to travel even further, discovering Theia. Although the Apes were gentle in nature all the humans saw at the mainland were ravaging apes seeking blood. We seemed to trigger memories from their past. We were quickly outcast to every nation except for Irithil and Sollas. The apes soon moved to another jungle in the desert due to the apes traveling feeling homesick and needing an area resembling their homeland. The other apes who traveled were seeking new lodging so decided to move in right on the edge of the Mesa and Desert. These two towns would be named Affenkausten and Apelandia.

**Middle**

Soon after, good relations were established with Sollas and their ruler Shilo, but once an alliance was met Shilo was never to be seen again and the second in command had taken over. As for Irithil a common interest was found: building and architecture. Good relations have been held between the two nations since. The apes began to build structures like no other, the famous auto-sorting building beneath the ground is seen by few but those who have the opporotunity to get past the safe door down there is amazed at the size and intricacy of the architecture. Not only does this building provide storage for items, it also has storage for villagers, farms, etc. Soon after completing this structure the boxing ring was introduced and acted as a form of gambling on winners of fights held there. The opening day was a success and was seen in high regard by the fans. A tournament is planned but is on the back-burner for a little while. After seeing how well the boxing ring did, the apes decided to go bigger, a 25 chunk colosseum was built and is still in construction but nearing the end and once completed will surely be a fan favorite. Chariot races, group battles, and sword fights are all to be expected events held here.

## Conflicts

**Past**

The United Ape Emirates have evaded a war in the past due to other nations accusing the Apes of theft from Lord Artimus III. Even though there was no proof that the Apes committed such a crime, the blame was immediately placed on them due to past slander of Lord Artimus III. While they did not do the crime they still payed the hefty price of 30k to Lord Artimus III to end this disgraceful war.

**Current**

The United Ape Emirates are currently on the aggressor side of a more recent war. A miner from the United Ape Emirates was looking for the sacred resource of netherite, and upon digging in an area suspected to have some, they discovered a vast/rich mine of netherite. Once mining a couple scraps, Gummy and Sheepy arrived and confronted him. They told him to shush about the mine and looked as if they were going to talk it over. Soon after, Gummy struck the miner and the miner soon retaliated. The miner defeated Gummy and his friend Sheepy in a defensive battle and won the day. Soon after this conflict, Gummy had spread word that the miner had struck first and everyone believed them. This is due to everyone perceiving the apes as barbarous and horrid creatures while they are in fact not, and prefer there to be no conflict and prefer the building lifestyle. The apes angered by the fact that they had the audacity to attack the miner, declare war on Gummy's nation.
