New London

**Home of Industry**

## History

### The Townless Age

The starting of *The Townless Age* is a bit unknown as it started before the area was a town, but the New London national archives states that it was around the end of August and start of October. Why was this place chosen? *New London* or previously known as *Iceshire* was a project for what was to be the *Farming Revolution*. Mayor of Belfast at the time, LLHammer thought of mechanising farms by making minecarts circle gigantic pillars to keep crops growing from any distance. LLHammer's experiment will be a failure, but not a total one, pillar structure farms will soon be the beginning of the Farming Revolution, plus they look good in towns that have a modern feeling to it. Another factor to why it was built where it was built (Iceland), was because the area was mostly flat and treeless, trees where a big problem for big farm industries so a place like Iceland suited this project well.

### Early Ages

The official town was created on August the 20th 2021 and with the original name being Iceland District 109, the name of the town will change one more time during this period. During the so called ,,Early Ages'' *the town, now renamed to Iceshire for convenience sake started it's mass farming plan, not much was done during this time, the first house was built but not much building other than that was done. To put it into a nutshell Iceshire became a desert town with only one player actually playing, there were people joining the town in this period but they didn't stick for long, this is because of the server's first great depopulation crisis, I like to call it the ,,First Great Activity Crash''*. The events were caused by a couple of factors but the main ones were server boredom and job pay loss which caused new players to not stay for long. During this period the Iceshire industry crashed and farm work stagnated. The world in general crashed for a time and was stuck in the past.

### Industrial Age

When Iceshire, later in this period New London was a fairly poor town, sure it did have it's massive farms which were being built day by day but the rest of the industrial sector basically sucked. Not all was going bad for the town, the world active population at this time was going up by a bit, even though most players would leave after some time and only a couple stuck around this still profited the town and it's only active member LLHammer with enough claims to make even more farms. This is where the big industrial boom happened, the industrial revolution was supposedly started and spearheaded by Iceshire (New London) but this is left to criticism but what we do know is that Iceshire (New London) did become an industrial powerhouse and the 2nd richest country by total money and 1st by method of making money by a long shot for some time. Besides international ranking the town itself over time transformed into what is commonly known as a post industrial age town, to be give this title you need some heavy industry and so it was pretty prestigious, it was the third town to do so. Today Iceshire, now known as New London is not that much of an industrial progress star anymore due to gigantic active population shortages (with only one actively playing member) and massive over extension plans, it sure put itself on the world map.
