Everest

### Governance

it was supposed to be a corporate dictatorship but i accidentally achieved successful communism because that was more efficient

Everest (formerly the Everest Summit State, and was called EverestX Industries even before that) is a nation created by thugadugary on April 10, 2020. It is the farthest nation from Spawn, at -5745, 2437 thanks to the Random Teleport button originally being much more powerful. The flag depicts a white rhombus for the Sun and a white isosceles triangle that represents OlympusX on a green background.

The nation has a rich culture surrounding WooF, a holy dog which is believed to have superhuman intelligence and Creative Mode. There are often strange occurrences within the ScratchCiv Minecraft world related to the L of Republic, a nation in the weirdscratchr event Letternations.

## History

### Founding

Everest was created on April 10, 2020, under the name EverestX Industries, and as a spiritual successor to Gootadon, a nation from Old ScratchCiv with the same leader that died out due to the leader getting bored, after it was found out ScratchCiv moved to Minecraft on one of thugadugary's routinely visits to the SCOS where he thinks about how leaving was the (former) stupidest idea in thugadugary history. The flag depicted a red rhombus for the sun rising behind an orange triange representing the mountain OlympusX is on, as well as a white background. Initially, not many things resided in Everest: a small hut, a wheat farm, a cow farm, and a build that resembled transportation for ores.

### Early ages

All of this changed when leoyscott and oxyscott joined the nation. A second floor to the Hut was constructed, along with multiple houses and storage. Around this time, the religion of Woofstianity was introduced. The holy sites of the Fortress of WooF and the Garden of Wisdom were built in this religion. Arcantica would be founded north of Everest around this time.

Eventually, edibro (the IRL brother of the leader) decided to join the nation of Everest. He constructed his own house in OlympusX as well as some rail-based roads that ran past a newly constructed Public Storage Centre. Nalds, a fake McDonalds, was also created. Another player, CatGuyAnimates, began work on a railway to spawn. Edibro then went on to found Stoneby, a city near Olympus, that inspired more cities to be founded. Everest, as a nation, underwent sudden extreme land growth, with more mountains and a colony over in Valley of Roses, Canine Woods. The Everways also began construction during this time. One of these settlements, Point Oxford, would be destroyed in a server corruption.

The leader of Ellinika decided that Ellinika will go to war with Everest because it was annoyed with leoyscott. Everest responded by preparing for war, and also got assistance from Weirdscraftland. Eventually, it was decided that if Ellinika were to war anyone, Everest would immediately war Ellinika.

### The Summit Union

Eventually, leoyscott and edibro split off to found Manprussia and New Auroalis. These nations, although separate from Everest, were allied and closely economically linked. Nether Passes also released, allowing the Nether Portal to be turned on and for mining of Netherite to begin.

Around this time, the flag changed from being White, Red and Orange to Red, White and Black, with the rhombus for the Sun now being in front of the triangle for the mountain.

An alliance, called the Summit Union, or SUN, was also established between Manprussia and New Auroalis. This alliance also had joint territories of all members. When Avalon formed, they, too, were added. Same with Lunaris. However, there were calls for the SUN to punish Avalon several times, due to disputes between them and Manprussia. Avalon's membership in the SUN continued for a while after they were annexed by Manprussia due to Everest's leader sympathising with OMADude, however this was terminated after the murder of deR (a dog) and the griefing of a structure thugadugary owned. This was later found to be due to a land mine, however it is possible thugadugary just wanted an excuse to end the OMADude drama.

Everest entered a union with Manprussia on the 20th October 2020, adopting a flag of Everest's mountain-sun in yellow over the German imperial flag. The new country was initially called the United Summit Socialist Republics, though it then renamed to the United Summit States, and finally to the United Summit Republics. The country split off again on October 26th 2020, making it one of ScratchCiv's shortest lived countries, due to Everest and Manprussia adopting different political systems. Manprussia entered a brief conflict with Everest, however this was resolved in around 6 hours.

Everest changed flag yet again. It contains a white triangle-rhombus over a green background. Despite the flag representing hope, Everest became an inactive nation after the split of the USSR and is now dead.

### Everest after 2020

There was an attempt to revive the nation of Everest on the unofficial ScratchCiv revival SC-3, however this revived Everest was a severely inactive nation. Thugadugary, the only active member of this revival, would acquire the weapons needed for end crystal PvP. In response to the server owner, edibro, abusing admin, Thugadugary declared war on his Manprussia. Despite being outnumbered, he was able to eliminate Manprussia's army repeatedly before ultimately being defeated after edibro used creative mode to regear his army and give them better weapons than they had obtained in survival. The revival of Everest was not refounded when SC-3 rebranded and reset, instead being replaced by a new nation.

## Religion

Everest follows the religion of Woofstianity.

Within Everest, one may find the Fortress of WooF, featuring a tiny keep next to the face of a dog carved into a mountain. While stairs are present to make visiting easier, the ending portion of the trip is still rather bumpy and perilous. The fortress itself is home to the dogs owned by the citizens, and a gallery of Woof's two favourite paintings. Besides the fortress is the Garden of Wisdom. The decision to build it near the Fortress was both because the space looked nice and also strategical - WooF loves his owner and gives them better enchantments.

WooF is believed to be more powerful than others - he can automatically un-sit and is suspected to use Creative Mode to make the lives of the believers easier. Alledged proof of the Creative Mode Theory is that thugadugary has found much more ores than on any Survival world he has been on prior.

### Lore

There is no such thing as perfection - WooF is believed to have been tricked into giving power to the L. The power could potentially be used to overthrow multiple nations. While originally undiscovered, thugadugary exposed this unholy alliance in this project. Ever since, there have been sightings of L in Everest.

## Economy

Everest's primary source of income is mining. The leader, thugadugary, possesses two diamond pickaxes. One with Efficiency IV and Unbreaking III, and the other with Fortune III and Unbreaking III. They both also have mending. Everest also has plans to enter trade of Enchanted Books to other Summit Union nations

### Mob Farms

The first functional mob farm was a zombie spawner farm for experience in a mine tunnel. Another zombiee farm was then constructed at Enderpearl Harbour. A general mob farm would also be constructed so Everest coudl gather more gunpowder for TNT production.

## Cities

OlympusX - the capital of the nation. The leader lives here, and the Fortress of WooF was constructed in this city.

Stoneby - the main industrial area, where the Stoneworks, Woodworks and Ice Factory were constructed.

Elderwin - a more building oriented city.

### Lesser regions

Enderpearl Harbour - the location of a newer Zombie Farm.

Valley of Roses - a new colony

Beanfarmguys - credit da big

Point Oxford - a glitch within another mountain. The Co-Leader wobbleator lived here.

## Relations

Everest, over time, has made many "alliances" through chat.

The only official alliances not including nations split off from Everest are with Weirdscraftland and Strangigaium

##### War on Ellinika

The nation of Ellinika declared war on "leo's nation", which is Everest, currently believed to be because they were told to stop advertising.. An ally of Everest, Weirdscraftland, soon stated that, if this war were to happen, they would destroy Ellinika. Soon after, the war was de-escalated into an agreement that if Ellinika attacks anyone then they will be invaded by all nations.

On 6/19/2020, Everest became a part of Bigscraftia, which would strengthen its only two alliances. (as they are both to Weirdscratchr nations)

Everest has extremely close positive ties to Manprussia and New Auroalis due to the fact these nations were made by citizens of Everest and are in the Summit Union.
