The Egyptian Civilization

# The History of Egypt

## Egyptian Nations

### Cairo:

The first Egyptian town was created on the first day of the server's existence, begining as a small town, which at the time was called Egypt, rather than Cairo. The town was founded by yeeteristaken, Icon365, APhoenixSword and Thxstle.

Many of Cairo's ancient monuments were built around this time, including the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Suez Watchtowers. The town went on to accumulate 20 residents, becoming the 9th biggest town at the time, and reacing the highest point the town would ever see in population. The residents created many allies and became the first people to kill the ender dragon.

The first war they fought in was a brief skirmish with a pirate town, who had attempted to pillage Cairo, but were defeated and killed.

### Egyptian Empire:

After a war broke out between Australasia, Indonesia and China, Indonesia and Australasia called in all their allies, which included Egypt. Egypt agreed to help, and they were paid enough money to become an independent nation, starting the era of the Egyptian Empire.

The war ended with a ceasefire, although Indonesia/Australasia's side had far more deaths which included Egyptian deaths. Many lives were lost at the failed invasion of Hanoi.

Despite the losses from the war, the newly founded nation was thriving, after creating three new towns (Turkish Outpost, South Egypt and Khartoum), and inviting two independently made towns (Atlantis and Nile).

### Greater African Empire/Federated States of Africa:

At this point in time, there were two nations and Africa, the Egyptian Empire and the African Union. The leader of the Egyptian Empire reached out to the African Union and they decided to merge into the Greater African Empire (which renamed to the Federated States of Africa the next day). Two other powerful African entites (Aksum and South Africa) also chose to join, although Aksum didn't officially join the nation until later down the line.

Not long after uniting, Egypt's oldest enemies, the Crusader States began a conquest against Arabia, who were Egypt's closest allies before the merge. Soldiers from Cairo, South Egypt and Khartoum defended Damascus valiantly, until the Crusader States chose to negotiate their surrender with the leader of Arabia and the mayor of Cairo, which was known as the Treaty of Jerusalem.

Arabia and The FSA chose to merge with each other just days after this war ended, now creating the Afro-Arabian Union.

### Afro-Arabian Union:

The Afro-Arabian Union quickly became a global superpower, with their main goal being to unite Africa and to defeat colonialists, starting with Belgium. At first, Belgium was winning the war, after winning two battles in a row in the Congo, but then, the AAU hired Chinese and Vietnamese mercenaries to back them up. The Chinese, Vietnamese and African soldiers invaded Brussels and caused their entire nation to collapse in one brutal, bloody fight.

Alhtough, their friendship with the Chinese didn't last long. The next day, one of the AAU's council members heard rumours of a Chinese plan to invade South Egypt, due to past conflicts with the town's mayor. Despite trying to mediate the situation and avoid war, a group of soldiers went behind the backs of the government and invaded Beijing, begining World War 1.

The war went from the 10th to around the 18th of October, resulting in as many as 66 deaths.

It was during this war that the AAU collapsed and split into several smaller nations. The nation began to fall apart after Cairo, South Egypt and Nile were invaded by China and Vietnam, and the most powerful nation at the time joined the war on China's side. And although the nation agreed to be a collective leadership between the eight state representatives, the Egyptian leader began to take full control over the nation, which only lead to backlash, and even a coup, and threats of revolution. It was becaise of all this that emergency control of the AAU was given to Th3\_L1nk, and Egypt ceded from the nation. Cairo and South Egypt surrendered to Chinese forces and got occupied, then they founded a new nation with financial support and protection from Indolaysia. The towns in the Atlantis Region and Uganda joined them too

Shortly afterwards, Arabia ceded too, and created the Abbasid Caliphate, Grasandia, an small town who left the AAU prior to the war, became a nation with funding form Egypt, and Kampala, who originally left with Egypt, also decided to make a new nation.

The nation that remained in the AAU became the Islamic Alliance, who only grew more powerful after "loosing the dead weight", and won the war.

### Saharan States:

Egypt's new nation was named the Saharan States, as they had towns across the Saharan Desert, outside of Egypt, as to be more inclusive. Saharan States wasn't the most powerful or populous Egyptian nation, but it was the most stable and successful, especially in terms of finance. Saharan States grew to be one of the most wealthy nations on the server, and they made many allies, some of whom used to be their enemies, like China and Vietnam.

They were a key player in World War Two, after joining the United Front to fight the Islamic alliance and Greater Israel. They fought in and even commanded countless sieges, and eventually won the war. World War Two was the most brutal and long war of the server's history, lasting somewhere from 2 weeks to a month, with at least 32 sieges. The war ended after the Islamic Alliance's capital was occupied, and the United Front began winning all the active sieges. IA and Israeli soldiers began playing on the server less, and eventually, Israel collapsed and merged into Bosnia, freeing all their occupied towns, which included most of Egypt.

### Roman Indus:

Saharan States lasted until most of the active players started to quit the serverm including the leader, who had lead Egypt since the first town was created. The leader decided to merge with the Roman Empire/Hellenic Empire, and give their leader control of the nation, which grew with several more merges and became Roman Indus.

## Towns

### Cairo:

Cairo is the oldest and most developed of the towns in Egypt. It is where the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Africa's first skyscraper can be found, and it is the home of the Pharaoh of Egypt, who lead the Egyptian Empire, Saharan States, and the Afro-Arabian Union. Most of the buildings in the town were built by either Franklino7 or yeeteristaken, other than the Pyramids, Skyscraper and Sphinx, which were a group effort.

### South Egypt:

South Egypt was the first town created in Egypt after Cairo created the Egyptian Empire. It was created by one of the four founders of Egypt, Icon365 and it existed all the way until the end of the server. In South Egypt, you can find the biggest pyramid in all of Africa, as well as the sight of the Liberation of South Egypt, which was one of the more brutal, and successful sieges of World War Two, resulting in 12 enemy deaths and only two Egyptian deaths, all in one day.

### Khartoum:

Khartoum was also founded by one of the founders of Egypt, and it grew to be one of the most developed towns in Egypt, but it eventually collapsed after the mayor quit the server. The town was rebuilt and expanded by a close ally from Japan. The mayor eventually returned to the server and made a new town just south of Cairo, after an enemy town which was previously there, collapsed.

#### Turkish Outpost:

This was the fourth and last of the original founder's towns. It was very underdeveloped and shortlived, as the mayor quit the server early-on. The land was later taken by the Byzantines.

### Nile:

Nile is a town that was created south of Egypt during the Great China War. It was created in Egyptian claims without the lesder's permission, so they were invited to the Egyptian Empire. Shortly after it's creation, Chinese and Crusader soldiers showed up and a battle took place in the town. After this, the leader became inactive, and later joined the Crusader States, a known enemy of the nation nation on two different occasions, first, during the Crusader Conquest War, after being bribed by their leader, then bribed to rejoin Egypt. The second time was after World War One, where they stayed until the town collapsed. Egypt did not retaliate the second time, as Nile didn't join the Saharan States when the AAU collapsed.

### Chadonia:

Chadonia was a Belgian colony created on the Nile in Southern Egypt. It was invaded by the Afro-Arabian Union during the African Anti-Colonialist War, and later collapsed due to inactivity. The land was later taken by Cairo, using an outpost. It was supposed to be turned into a shopping district, but that plan fell apart, after a lack of advertising and plot sales.

### Alamein:

Alamein (*formerly, New Alemein City*) is a town west of Cairo, that was founded during the era of the AAU. The mayor aligned much more with Egypt than the rest of the AAU and didn't agree with the other council members on various subjects, so when Cairo and South Egypt ceded, Alamein chose to join them. Their plan was to create a green city with modern architecture and skyscrapers, although the project was not finished by the time the server ended.

### Fort Menking:

Fort Menking (*formerly, fort makieg*) is a town in southeast Egypt, founded by a citizen of Atlantis. The mayor became one of the more active players in the nation, and the town claimed a lot of land.

### Carvahall:

Carvahall was a town in Saharan Egypt, created by a friend of the Pharaoh, to claim more land. The town was undeveloped and sparcely populated, and it collapsed towards the end of the server.

### Oasisis:

Oasisis is a small, neutral town in central Egypt, just south of the Olympic Grounds. It was built around a manmade oasis and focused mostly on building.

### Osiris:

Osiris was created as a military stronghold, by Pvper's from Ancient Egypt on EMC. It was created next to Shop, the capital of Greater Israel, who was a big threat to the Saharan States at the time. Osiris went on to claim Jerusalem after it collapsed, and was mostly used as a buffer state.

### Hejaz:

Hejaz was founded by Franklino7, one of the early members of Cairo and one of Cairo's leading builders. The town was created during the AAU era, and following the collapse of the AAU, it became a disputed area between Saharan States, the Islamic Alliance and Abbasid Caliphate. Eventually, Hejaz joined Saharan States. During World War Two, Hejaz was subject to invasions from Greater Israel, but the Saharan States was able to defend it.

### Sinai:

Throughout the server's history, the Sinai peninsula had been highly disputed between Egypt and the Crusader States, after Jerusalem claimed it and tension arose between the two nations. After the Crusader Conquest War, the Crusaders were supposed to give up Sinai, but as they unclaimed it, a new town, known as Palestine, took the land. It was never confirmed, but it was highly speculated that the Crusaders were behind this. Palestine eventually joined the Crusader States and didn't collapse until months later, when almost all of the Crusaders States' towns fell into ruin, and the Saharan States sieged Palestine twice, to bankrupt it. When the town finally collapsed, a long time citezen of Cairo created the town, Sinai, and took the land.

*The next four towns are not Geographically close too Egypt, but they have strong cultural and historical ties to Egypt and their nations.*

### Atlantis:

Atlantis is the oldest of three towns in the Atlantis region. Atlantis joined the Egyptian Empire shortly after it's creation. It is the oldest Egyptian town, other than Cairo, despire not joining Egypt until after South Egypt, Khartoum and Turkish Outpost did. Atlantis is on the coast of a man-made sea, created by the mayor. When the AAU was formed, Atlantis became one of the eight states in the nation, and when it collapsed, they chose to side with Egypt and joined the Saharan States. Atlantis collapsed towards the end of the server, not long after the other two Atlantan cities fell.

### South Atlantis:

South Atlantis was created not long after Atlantis and helped create the man-made Atlantan sea, although the town became inactive quite early-on in the server.

### Atlantan Outback:

Atlantan Outback was created to claim the Atlantan Sea after a controversy with the admins of their server, and their disaproval of the sea.

### Switzerland:

Switzerland is a small, peaceful village, that claimed many ruins in France, from ancient cities. After being invaded and occupied by the Islamic Alliance, they left the Saharan States, but eventually rejoined after the creation of Roman Indus.
