Flag of the Commonwealth of Eastern States

## Season 1

The Commonwealth of Eastern States was a large nation and one of the Earthcraft world powers, located on the Atlantic Coast of North America. This nation is split up into multiple states each being controlled by a specific Governor. These Governors are elected and are part of a senate which decides all the nation's actions.

## History

The great Commonwealth of Eastern States started on April 19, 2022 and was founded by ADHDegree, Nethermob, and BunkerBoy.

First, ADHD claimed land, followed by Bunkerboy, KOZLegend, and finally Nethermob.

At first, they had separate claims with an alliance but then decided to merge into the same nation based on principles of freedom and liberty.

The next day, on April 20th, they gained the territory of Flaming Sands, led by Fankas as an autonomous region of CES.

Soon after, during the scramble for North America, they unanimously decided to claim the land of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ontario, which would become the Great Lakes State.

On April 22nd, Detroit was founded. It soon became the most populous city in the server.

The day after, April 23rd, the Texlandic Republic - a nation claiming the southernmost states from Texas to North Carolina - disbanded, and the C.E.S. gained all of their land besides Texas. The same day, there was an election for Governor of that land, in which Bearofbusines won by almost unanimously.

On the 24th of April, the South African nation disbanded and South Africa became a satellite nation of CES, used

primarily as a mining outpost until user Hyperspacepotato mined up 95% of its resources.

Two days later (April 26th), the Governor of the Great Lakes State, Unbidpoem, was banned and the state remained leaderless for about 3 weeks, until May 21st.

Soon after, the Detroit Space Program was founded and the people discovered the power of flight. It was later disbanded after order of Mayor LouieButler as it "was discouraging progress of all other aspects of Detroit".

On the 7th of May, Nethermob quit the server after being involved in a skirmish with Imperium and ceded his position as Governor.

Finally, on May 21, 2022 the election for Governor of the Great Lakes State was conducted and LouieButler won with no competition.

Nethermob rejoined the server on June 18th and regained his position as Governor.

## **Season 2**

The first design for the CES's flag. It consisted of 3 stars representing the 3 original states, and 5 stripes for the amount of states at the time of its creation. It was later changed due to its similarities to the flag of Puerto Rico and Ohio.The second design for the CES's flag. Added two stars to equalize the number of stars and stripes, and changed the blue to black as a way of making it different than the basic red, white, and blue that most flags are. This was soon changed back.The third and final flag design of the CES. The colors were changed to Navy Blue and Maroon, to be easier on the eyes, and the blue field became pentagonal in shape to incorporate the stripes into the design more. A star was added to include Terminus.
