Emerald

Emerald is a nation owned by HungMongolia. It is the newest independent nation, with a population of Hung, a few chickens, sheep, and a llama, and along with bees.

Hung named the nation **Emerald**. It is unkown why. One reasoning behind the name is due to Stone gifting the new founder Hung 3 emeralds. This was a Tulip custom, to help nearby allies, and to always be nice unless said otherwise. He also may have gave them for him to buy something in the West Village, for the nations bank to store, or to trade with nearby countries.

The national animal as of March 9th, 2021, is the villager. Though through text when asked what the animal would be, Hung replied with "village". We will assume that he meant villager, and just mispelled the word, as an entire village couldn't possibly be an animal, nor does it fit the criteria for the national animal.

The national flower is the blue cornflower.

### Geography of Island

The geography on Emerald is quite diverse, considering it's size. In area, it's a bit smaller than Mount Tulip. In height, it's the smallest independent nation, and 3rd largest in length from side to side, beating Mount Tulip. From a birds eye view, on the left side of the island is a flat sand beach area. And on the far right side of the island is a much larger sand area. There are a few sandune, the largest extending 8-10 blocks. In the middle of these two is a grassy section. This has no trees, but grass and some flowers spawn here. On top of that, is a large hill, a little larger than the sanddune on the far right of the island, which is covered in grass. Chickens, some sheep and horses have been known to spawn here.

## Influences on Emerald

One major influence on the island are bees. During the first few days on the island, Hung put down saplings, gifted by from the Tulipians. When he planted down a birch tree, a beehive appeared. Realising, due to how poor the nation was, this could be a great source of income. No nation had ever, or even had the chance to, produce bee's and make honey/honeycomb!

Another Major Influence is by StoneComet himself. He gifted more than Hung could ask for, including 3 emeralds, two diamonds, beds, sapling's, etc. He also influence Hung to make his government into a Theocracy. Because of this, his religion now stated that, unless slain beforehand, he wouldn't eat/cook raw meat, unless someone else other then him slayed the animal beforehand.

## Notable Sites on the Island

The Church of Emerald- On the left side of the island, lies the church. This is where the nation worships, and is holy to the land. Made of

Beehive- The beehive, atleast the first and only one on the island. This is where Hung gets his main export, honey.

## Religion/Theocracy

Religion is a very large aspect of life on Emerald. Everyone, and everything, is influenced by the topic, even the government.

Disputes International

Rising tensions with the nearby island, owned by Bowl. Mount Tulip voted aganist the national animal of Emerald, as they see villagers everywhere, regardless of them being on the land of Mount Tulip, their own. They also don't see them as mobs or slaves, instead as people. Due to an incident involving Hung and his island's castle, conflict broke out between the nations. Mount Tulip stepped in to solve the matter, along with Spartacus. Though Mount Tulip and Spartacus were great allies, they were spilt on who to help. This conflict on the islands broke out into a much larger war, and caused the first World War, or known as The WW1. Due to this, Mount Tulip, being the prime target (the main battlefield) during the war, has rising tensions now with Emerald.
