Northern Landers

##### Founding

The town was founded on 03/06/22. The town was founded on 03/06/22. The town was founded by 4 players, Gav7, Stumbz, Avery75 and Ono (Name unknown, this was a nickname). The 4 players had journey from the present day borders of RavanRidge north to the coast of the Kara Sea. From there, only 3 of the four players joined the town after its creation. Stumbz was the player who came up with the name after a vote.

##### Early days

Originally, the town had just a small diorite hut to start with. This was later destroyed to make way for a town hall and other buildings. The first building was builded by Expertmeme, with the town hall subsequently following. Following the addition of Ubai125 and HieuHieu, the town was spurred into a development phase, where several major progress was made to the town's future port and economy. This was further developed with alliance with the player VyroO5, who gave the town resources to propel the town into slimefun development. Around the same time with the alliance, a factory with a full redstone sorting system was build and used.

##### Port

The early days of the town was filled with miners working on the port. At that time, the town was relatively small, and had only 1 ship. During late June, the first stage of the port (stage 1) was complete, with several vessels starting to be constructed. The port was later expanded to stage 2, with tripled the port size to allowing it to handle a aircraft carrier or multiple dreadnoughts when necessary. The development of stage 1 of the port also brought a underground bunker for tanks. The port has sinced been mostly empty, with plans to upgrade the port to cater for better parking.

##### Train Line

One of the most pressing issues at the town's founding was the problem of travel. The town was situated more then 7000 blocks from Central Europe with only a ship to transport all the members of the town. This issue was even more pressing after the only ship the town had was stolen by FroTheLoaf (now FroTheLeaf). The town had started construction of a rail line westwards but had slow progress. This rail line was finally extended to current day Vortuka (1000 blocks west of town) in mid August. The rail line had plans to reach Celle but was never continued after the first Siberian War. Currently, the plan has changed for the train line to run north to the world border before turning in Antarctica to head west. This progress has been halted since mid-December.

##### Slimefun

The town has two major slimefun players-Gav7 and Ubai125. The town main slimefun factories are New Factory and Ubai's FH. The New Factory is situated at the site of the former factory, which had been demolished due to the inefficiency of the sorting system. This factory is equipped with electric slimefun, and is mostly used for gravel and sifted ore processing. On the other hand, Ubai's FH is a muiti-level house. The main area for slimefun in the house is basement 1, which slimefun equipment had been moved from the ground floor. It mostly comprises of basic slimefun machines, and is where slimefun orders and unique slimefun ingots are made. The town has also a policy of "One person, one slimefun". This policy gives all new town members a full slimefun basic set, which is made by Ubai125. The goal of the town policy is to allow members to experiment with this mechanics and give players a way to earn money independently rather then have the town support them.

##### Metro System

The most prominent feature of the town is its extensive metro system. It is one of the only towns in the world to use Vallina Minecraft powered rails to move people from different districts of the town to others districts or the town centre. The metro system was designed by Gav7, and has been growing extensivly, connected major residential areas to the central area where town meetings happen. The metro system consists of 12 stations (9 open stations, 1 connecting station, 2 unopened stations). The network has also been going through upgrades by Ubai125, which include better access to stations, better lighting of stations and tunnels, and more clear navigations. The town currently requires all new residents to go through a metro certification quiz, which is used to reduce the amount of incidents where players get lost in a metro tunnel. The system map has also been changed muitiple times, and is frequently revised by Gav7. The metro lines include-District Line, Residential Line, Factory Line, Southern Line. Unlike popular beliefs, the metro line does not service the intercity train station. The metro system also has a average user of 2 players/week, which is attributed to the complicated system and faster travel by walking.

##### Canal System

The town has a network of canals that break the town into 3 main areas-Central District, Industrial District, Residential District. The canals were inspired by Celle's canal network, and has been build connecting the port to the northern coast. The canal has also been attributed to various incidents of drowning. Occasionally, the canal is used for boat racing and boat fights.

##### GBC News

The town serves as the headquarters for the news station GBC News. The GBC Headquarters is currently under construction south of the town.

##### How CerealforSupper disabled the entire airforce on his first day

The town was reliant on 1 helicopter (as a zep) to lead all its planes, which CerealforSupper burned by placing a lava bucket when flying it. The air force was reenabled within 12 hrs.

### Wars/Battles

##### First Siberian War

The first Siberian War was Severozemelsk vs Vortuka (and its towns) and the hypothetical nation/alliance Rus. The war had started over Respi (from Vortuka) driving into Severozemelsk with an unloaded tank. The act had violated one of Severozemelsk's laws, which had stated that no visiter was allowed to come on any types of assault vehicles unannounced. Following this, Gav7 attempted to bomb the heavy tank but failed. This led to the "nation" Rus to come to Respi's aid, asserting that the tank was unloaded and had came on peaceful purposes. On the other hand, Gav7 remained his policy that the sovereign terratory of Severozemelsk had to be protected in the situation that the tank came on non-peaceful purposes. This event luanched the first Siberian War, which led to both sides having several faltalities. Key players in the war included Gav7. Respi3, Ubai125, PlatypusBlue, deni\_beni, and Linnanjatoja. This war also resulted in the train tunnel under the Vortuka seawall to be blocked. The war came to a eventual stalmate with the Russian Empire (Severozemelsk's Nation) coming to a agreement with GNE (Linanjotaja's Nation) to stop Linnanjotaja from fighting. However, the war did not officially end for Severozemelsk and Vortuka, but soon went on "pause" as both sides joined MEU after Gluttany's eventual fall.

##### Second Siberian War

The Second Siberian War was again between Severozemelsk and Vortuka. The war resumed from the first war after Gav7 stole a heavy tank from Vortuka. This was due to speculations on Vortuka planning to make their own nation. Gav7 had viewed this as a threat to the town's security due to its reliance on Fort Vortuka. This event was followed by Darious07, a friend of Respi3, stealing Severozemelsk's icebreaker. This led to both sides agreeing to a exchange of movecraft. This trade was suggested by Respi3 and was agreed by Gav7. Unfortunately for Gav7, Respi3 had planned for the trade to be a scam, and had planned to take the heavy tank back and run with the icebreaker. This however did not succeed, with Gav7 killing the driver of the icebreaker and taking it back. The heavy tank was given to Respi3. No events have followed this as Severozemelsk rejoined MEU the next day. Peace deals have been suggested but none have taken root.

##### Alliances

The town was once in the hypothetical nation Rus, founded by VyrO5. The town was removed from the alliance shortly after the beginning of the First Siberian War. The town also had been part of USSR (and subsequently Russian Empire), but had left the nation after Gluttony fell. The town joined MEU shortly after the First Siberian War. After a escalation in tensions during the Third Siberian war, Gav7 made to town leave the nation to join the Scythian Affiliate.

### Town Organisation

The town is split into muitiple districts, namely Central District, New District, Industrial District, Parking area, and Port District. The metro station reaches all the district via various lines. Each district purpose is:

* Central District-The beginning and spawn of the town. It serves as the slimefun area, and the city organisation area. The town hall is located within this district. This district is located on the south section of the town, east of the port. It is also the only district which has houses but further development has been blocked due to zoning issues.
* New/North New District-This is mainly the new area where new residents set up their towns, it covers the entire north side of the town (anything above the horizontal branch of the canal). It is divided into two sections, New District, which includes the North side of Canal Park, and the Central Market, and North New District, which is the residential area of the District, encompassing the district hall and BMF.
* Industrial District-This is the most underdeveloped region. The only development here is the tree and crops farm, owned by Ubai125. The district is serviced by 2 station, Ubai's Farm Station and Ono Port Station (Not opened). This district is also the location of the previous Severozemelsk's Farm town, which has merged with Severozemelsk ever since.
* Port District-This district covers the entire port region, which has been covered with water 4-5 blocks deep, and a underground bunker holding land vehicles. Part of the bunker, namely the train section is under BMF (New District). Public access to this area is blocked, due to the limited lighting and confidentiality of the area. There is also no physical exit to it, with only a elevator block.
* Northern Island-The island was a planned development by cerealforsupper and PlatypusBlue. It was planned to hold a factory and a new residential estate when complete. Since then, the development has slowed down, and no further progress has been made. It currently holds 4 buildings, namely MushroomSeal's Parking, cerealforsupper's lighthouse, The Cow, and the chest building.
