DPRM

Some of the DPRM's members

The DPRM, short for Democratic People's Republic of Minecraft, is an elite group of players who are all based together. The original members of the group came together upon release of the new map in Minecraft 1.9, and on the 4th of March 2016 the name DPRM was created, marking the official creation of a group.

### Brief history

After the server reset in February of 2016, a bunch of players decided to team up and create a group base on the new map. This group included members such as Green\_Naugahyde, Vihreaa, RockyAgate, WoozelLegend and n00b69. Initially, a base near spawn, named New Cornwall was built, which was destroyed soon after. After finding a new area to build in, construction began on the second base, which was later named DPRM II. This base was divided in plots where players could build on, as to not cause trouble among the members when a member builds something in an area which someone was already building in.

   At the time, n00b69 was a member of this group, however he was not yet at the base. He was millions out into the overworld, gathering important resources. While doing so, he crafted a shield with a custom banner patter, which was a newly introduced feature in the game at the time. Initially hesitating to move to the team base due to its close proximity to spawn, he eventually caved in under peer pressure due to nobody else wanting to move to his location. Upon arrival at the base, he gave everyone present mending books, which he gathered prior to moving in. Other people noticed the shield he was carrying, and it soon thereafter became the official shield of the yet unnamed group.

   On March 4th 2016, RockyAgate and n00b69 came together with the task of creating a name for the group. They were the biggest group in the server after all, and thus needed a name. Names such as Potato Empire or Pdozelian Empire popped up, however none of these were mutually liked. At this point, n00b69 remembered about an item he bought earlier that day, which had a tag saying "Made in PRC". This was the first time he ever heard of China's official title, the People's Republic of China, and he came up with the name PRM; the People's Republic of Minecraft. RockyAgate approved of the idea, however soon after n00b69 came up with an even better name, referencing North Korea: the Democratic People's Republic of Minecraft. This name was passed around to other members of the group, and everyone approved of it. And thus, on March 4th 2016, the DPRM was born.

Soon thereafter, a chicken with an unusual name tag appeared at n00b69's mesa base. Unlike normal name tags, this name was visible like a normal player tag, without having to move the mouse cursor over the hitbox. This chicken was named Bawk. Impressed by Bawk's appearance out of nowhere, it was decided upon that Bawk would become the Eternal Leader of the DPRM, as well as the mascot.

A while later, someone stumbled upon the main base, and it was left abandoned. n00b69's remote base, which connected to the main area with a railroad, had not yet been discovered. The tunnel was closed off, to make it appear like it was still under construction. At the time, moving Bawk to the new base would have been too risky, as people would be able to trace the terrain trails on the nether roof, and thus Bawk was instead moved deep underground in a hidden area. Before abandoning the base, n00b69 killed all the villagers and destroyed his base, to prevent someone else from doing so.

### ASS-DPRM

On the September 22, 2020, a lower group inside the DPRM was created, in an effort to increase the DPRM's reign while not putting the base at risk. This section of the group mainly focuses around repairing old bases or structures around the server, as well as building community projects, such as the Spawn Bucket. Hence the name ASS; Architectural Sites Section.

Below is a list of members of the ASS, in order of join date;
