Key-chain

Flag

**Key-chain**, officially the **Kingdom of** **Key-chain** was a monarchy within the Augerian Federation situated between the Great Sea and the Great Desert. Its capital was the City of Key-chain, which primarily served as the captial and seat of government of Augeria. Key-chain borders Potiri Glass Corporation Trading Post in the west, the Bahama-Pajama Union in the north, and Tuolong in the south.

Due to the nation being naturally split by the Bahama-Pajama River, as well as being the spawn area, it was an important hub for travel between the different regions of Augeria, connecting Jacky's Arena to New Drybone. Originally spanning a territory which included the radius around the former spawn house Salazar Tenements, the Courthouse, the former Oxford Circle Embassy, and Key's house, the kingdom had since grown to its maximum extent, especially after absorbing Brown Town into its administration.

As a sovereign state, Key-chain had very few permanent residents outside of its ruler augurkeychain, all of whom are non-player characters. However, it did host a few temporary residents, some of whom reside in Salazar Apartments, the spawn building and temporary housing unit which new players have used as temporary housing for their first few days in Minecraft. Key-chain's geography consisted of savannah, desert, plains, and oak forest biomes.

Key-chain was *de jure* a National syndicalist absolute monarchy, though because the kingdom had no citizens or permanent residents, this system of government applies to no one, essentially rendering the government of the kingdom useless. However, Key-chain played a much larger and important role in the oversight of Augeria as a whole, and as such remained the dominant power in the southern regions of the federation.

## Etymology

The name *Key-chain* is derived from the name of its leader and ruler augurkeychain, which in turn was given by bnbranson from a time before the nations of Augeria came into existence.

## History

The region which Key-chain is situated upon was relatively close to the original world spawn. When Augurkeychain first loaded up the server on February 24, 2020, he first built the Salazar Tenements, which were constructed with help from WorldEdit. After the construction of the tenements, augurkeychain then built a house at the location Egg Park sits at currently. bnbranson and Mob Drop built the courthouse across the river not long after. In the north, Drybone Inc. developed a presence in Augeria, so in response augurkeychain created Key-chain, LLC in an attempt to undermine the corporation's presence in the land.

### Tribal and revolutionary era

During the early days of the server, TrackPad\_Tommy led a Communist uprising against *de facto* tribe leader augurkeychain, installing a Communist regime in Key-chain. On the hill which overlooks Key-chain from the north, bnbranson erected a hammer-and-sickle monument in commemoration of the revolution. Soon, augurkeychain himself erected a similar monument depicting the related Juche symbol opposite bnbranson's monument as a sign of mutual respect. One\_Eared\_Kid moved into Key-chain soon after. Augurkeychain's *barrio* expansion plans had begun construction by this time with the foundations laid for a possible skyscraper. By the end of the tribal era, while himself still without a permanent residence, TrackPad\_Tommy began construction on his Aqueduct project.

### First tenement incident

**Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".**
On March 6, 2020, during the revolutionary era, the residential floors of the Salazar Tenements were destroyed. It is unclear what exactly happened to the tenements in this incident, although on-scene analysis revealed that it was lava-related and began in a room on the third floor. Much of the ground level remained intact however. The tenements were later rebuilt within days with reconstruction efforts primarily led by SideHoeJoe.

### Post-Mob Drop era

After the murder of Mob Drop and the expulsion of One\_Eared\_Kid in late March, Key-chain began to speed up its development. The Aqueduct was completed and inaugurated on April 5, 2020. The Church of St. Mob Drop was also being constructed at this time. Augurkeychain began the process of relocating next to the church on April 8 and completed his current house on April 11, 2020. The following day, an Easter egg hunt was hosted by SideHoeJoe and held at a stage which was constructed next to the big grindstone structure. Around this time, jujuada\_ joined the server and built her house next to the tenements. In late April, the Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. building's foundations were laid as well as the Burger King. The skyscraper foundations were torn down and replaced with a *Khrushchyovka* housing unit in June of that year. In the same month, Burger King was completed. Egg Park, which was built on the site of augurkeychain's former house, was completed on June 21, 2020. On July 4, 2020, the Key-chain Mosque was completed in order to introduce religious diversity to the region. The construction of a synagogue named the Temple of Key-chain followed nearby two days later.

### Second tenement incident

The tenements were destroyed a second time on April 16, 2020, but unlike the first incident, the incident was witnessed by SideHoeJoe. A Romanian hacker and griefer by the name of Zextorn had joined the server, given himself Administrator privileges, and began setting fire to the tenements, SideHoeJoe's house, and the School. Within 15 minutes, action was promptly taken against the hacker, however, not without the destruction left in his wake. The tenements had once again been destroyed, however this time it would not be rebuilt. Augurkeychain, now feeling the building was doomed to repeat its continual demise decided to completely level the building and temporarily displayed the remains of the building in a chest at the site. After the first Soviet-style *Khrushchyovka* was constructed in the city center to replace the planned skyscraper foundations some time in May, a similar and larger apartment building was constructed at the tenement site to serve as the new permanent spawn building.

### Season 2 era

During the second season era, the kingdom began to expand overseas by founding the port city of Chocloville, named for its proximity to the house of the elusive character Choclo.

## Geography

Key-chain geography consists of only savannah, plains, oak forest, and desert biomes. The overseas territory of St. Drawlin is the only location within territories administered by Key-chain that is a flower forest. Key-chain's naturally occurring wildlife has largely been eradicated due to hunting and domestication.

## Politics

Key-chain was a National syndicalist absolute monarchy with a hereditary emperor.

### Administrative divisions

Key-chain was divided into 5 administrative regions.

* City of Key-chain
* Brown Town Special Administrative Region
* St. Drawllin & Jawn Island
* Chocloville
* New East Prussia

Key-chain also held suzerainty over the Twilight Tinyville Protectorate through a contractual agreement.

## Transportation

Mainland Key-chain was served by the Augeria Transit Authority (ATA). There were several stations that serve the areas within Key-chain. The Monorail stations included Brown Town Station, Courthouse Station, Key-chain Central Station, and Key-chain West Station. The Red Line stops included the Tenement and Oregon Stations, and the sole Green Line stop is the Courthouse Station.
