Gluestick3000 (Player)

## Beginnings:

Gluestick3000 (shortened as "Glue"), joined the server on March 17, 2021. Initially, Glue created the island nation of Hawai'i, which suffered a short and unimportant lifespan due to invasion by Copenhagen, Spoony's old town. 11 days after joining, Glue's diaspora brought him to Austria, in Central Europe. Where he founded Vienna, Austria on March 28, 2021. To the server's surprise, Vienna experienced rapid growth, expansion and cultural innovation. Becoming one of the first classical large-scale cities in the server. All led by Glue at the helm.

### Early History:

Rapid expansion and growth made Glue both an enviable and controversial figure in world politics. Seeing such a successful city seemingly rise out of thin air gave many nations the assumption of weakness, such as Bula, Mexico, China, USOA and the States of the Atlantic. Austria would remain independent despite the odds against them. Glue gained a reputation during these wars as a leader who effectively utilized humiliation, intimidation, defensive and psychological tactics. During the *Austrian Coalition* talks during April of 2021, Austria made important allies as well as investments with Yugoslavia, Japan and after a series of incessant wars, conflicts and national struggles due to constantly shifting power changes and political atmospheres, Austria eventually merged with the nation of NeuGermany. And a period of *Pax Austromania* (Peace of Austria) subsequently followed.

#### Under *NeuGermany*

Shortly after the merging with NeuGermany, due to Glue's popularity and respect among the Viennese and Hamburg populaces, Glue was elected Chancellor in early May, 2021. Giving him complete control of the nation, but unable to be officially listed as the leader when viewing towny properties. This honor belonged to the original founder, Deandave. Even more rapid expansion and economic prosperity would follow his election. Under Glue's rule, NeuGermany would turn into the server's dominating power. Glue ensured the standardization of Uniforms, tools, equipment and weaponry among the NeuGerman army. Colonization was made a priority, territories across the world propped up underneath the NeuGerman flag. Poland was conquered and fully integrated, in a short series of wars, Japan and other non-European powers were pushed out of Europe, the inter-European iceway was constructed, and diplomacy was encouraged by him in neighboring states.

##### The The World War and the German Civil War

After the first wars against Japan were completed, Glue made the executive decision to finish to job of Japanese expansionism, and prepared operations for the final strike against Japan's main colonies and forward bases. The Austrian Coalition's war-fighting prowess would be put to the test. Targets were divvied amongst the alliance. NeuGermany would take the base of *potato* in the Meditteranean Greenland would take *Milwie* and NeuGermany and Yugoslavia would cooperate in a joint-operation to conquer the Indian port town of *Calcutta.* After the dust settled, Glue planned to set the NeuGerman capital as Vienna. However, things didn't go as planned. The "official" leader of NeuGermany, Deandave, called off the war and made peace with the Japanese without informing commanding officers or soldiers on the frontline. As Austria and NeuGermany divided as a result of Dean's decision, the Greenlandish assault on Milwie and the Yugoslavian siege of Calcutta would be left unsupported and undermanned, and AM1104 and the Greenlandish council would sue for peace with the Japanese.

Combat in the German Civil War would prove to be bitter and slow. Free Austrian Fighters led by Glue would meet with opposing NeuGerman soldiers in the city of Munich, and small sectors of "Choke Points" with exceedingly bitter fighting in the city would form. With Glue's incessant rallying of Austrian fighters, they managed to consistently maintain a manpower advantage over German troops during any time of the day, eventually leading to an Austrian victory and independence after three days.

###### Post-war actions and today

After the war, the town of Munich was devastated, and cleanup operations were ordered, however some scars of war can still be visible on the outskirts of the city. Austrian diplomacy and cooperation with Athens and Yugoslavia increased. A sort of peace enveloped the server for a period, however with small conflicts rising here and there. (see Austro-Italian War for more information). Around July 18th of 2021, Glue along with a score of other players were unjustly banned by CharTheRedComet (Owner of the server) for reasons that are still unclear. What followed was a server-wide decline in activity and a cultural decline in otherwise server-wide hubs like Vienna. However, on August 19th, Glue was informed that a revitalization and a slew of community-centered updates occurred, prompting a mass migration back to the server from banned members. And a subsequent era of European peace ensued. Vienna remains a cultural center and the largest city in Blitzkraft currently, and Glue continues to lead the nation of Austria.
