America

This article is about the country America under the WeirdApe administration. For the crater that America has become, see American Crater.

America was the first independent nation in the Hardcore SMP. The country won its independence after the Hardcore SMP vs. America War on May 22, 2021. America was destroyed by WeirdApe and turned into the American Crater. After this, America was permanently disbanded by the rest of its members.

America's government was structured as a Benevolent Corporatist Autocracy led by WeirdApe as its self-appointed President and Lucky as its Vice President. They established a leader-for-life method of leadership that was supported by its citizens throughout its lifetime.

In June of 2021, WeirdApe wanted to start anew and created a new country with the help of PolarIce. Over the course of a couple months, WeirdApe grew tired of America and made plans to blow it up so that Pivotal would join WeirdApe's new country, New Vegas. After WeirdApe failed to convince Pivotal to join New Vegas through verbal persuasion, he resorted to blowing up America with end crystals so that he wouldn't have any other country to attach himself to.

## Administration

### WeirdApe Administration

The WeirdApe Administration was the original administration of America, led by WeirdApe as President and Lucky as Vice President. This period lasted from the Hardcore SMP vs. America War to the destruction of America by WeirdApe.

## Citizens

* WeirdApe - President (traitor)
* Lucky - Vice President
* Pivotal's Spirit - Secretary of State

## Geography

### Territory

America started out with a fairly small plot of land enclosed in a smooth stone border laid out in the ground and a drug van made by Dev right outside of the border of America called Mexico. During the Hardcore SMP vs. America War, Dev lavacasted a wall in front of the American border viewing Hardcore SMP and the land inside the border was blown up by Dev. The day following the war and the country's newly won independence, Dev took down the lavacasted wall and covered up the exploded land in America with grass. The country remained relatively the same geographically for the rest of its life with the addition of new building such as the NASA building, carrot farm, and Pivotal's Spirit's house on the outskirts of America.

##### Staple builds:

* American armory
* American carrot farm
* McDonald's
* Mexico
* Pivotal's Spirit's house
* The NASA building
* The White House

## Armory

* Diamond armor and tools - Stored in the American armory for military personnel.
* Bows and crossbows - "Guns" distributed to civilians by WeirdApe. Also stored in the American armory for military personnel.
* Shields - Stored in the American armory for military personnel.

## Formation

On May 18, 2021, WeirdApe joined the Hardcore SMP and took a tour of Hardcore SMP from Dev and Lucky. After the tour, WeirdApe decided that he wasn't too fond of Hardcore SMP so he asked Lucky to join him in creating an independent country. WeirdApe started by building his house and main base of operations in America, the White House. They recruited Pivotal's Spirit to join America since he had no current home or affiliation on the SMP. Pivotal's Spirit built a couple locations in the beginning including McDonald's and the American border. Dev soon found out that a new country was developing and disapproved of it. He then declared war on America on May 21, 2021 and gave the Americans a day to prepare.

## War of independence

Dev was unhappy with the sudden uprising of a new nation. On May 21, 2021, he walked on over to America and declared war on the country on behalf of Hardcore SMP. He gave them one day to prepare before the battle broke out. Luckily, WeirdApe had already set up an armory underneath the White House where diamond gear, bows, and shields were stored in case of emergency. The Americans had no choice but to retrieve the gear from the armory and prepare for the battle.

### Battle for independence

On May 22, 2021, the war for America's independence broke out. It begun by the Americans logging in to see that Dev had lavacasted a wall in front of the American border facing the river and Hardcore SMP. As all the Americans had logged in and gathered their resources, Dev began firing upon them from atop the lavacasted wall. The Americans fired back with their bows and crossbows but were still overpowered by Dev, and one by one they were each shot to death by Dev.

As the Americans respawned and regrouped back in America, Dev ignited TNT that was spread out underneath the ground of America. The land inside the border was destroyed and buildings such as the White House and armory were partially destroyed. At this point, the Americans were powerless and had no choice but to surrender.

It was clear that Hardcore SMP was the victor of this war, but the Americans did not yet give up their independence. Lucky came up with a noble trade deal; Lucky gives Dev Pivotal's old netherite armor, diamond sword, bow, shield, and totem of undying in exchange for America's independence. Dev agreed to the trade deal and put Pivotal's belongings on display in Lucky's house. From this day forward, America was officially declared an independent nation.

### Aftermath

WeirdApe, Lucky, and Pivotal's Spirit signed the American Declaration of Independence and their independence became official. The day after the war, Lucky and WeirdApe logged on to find that Dev had covered the exploded land up with grass and took down the lavacasted wall. WeirdApe then sent Lucky to buy 3 beacons from Dev. When Lucky returned to America with the beacons, WeirdApe set them up underground and put red, white, and blue glass over the beacons to display the colors of the American flag.

In the days following the war, Pivotal's Spirit built the NASA building and a carrot farm to supply America with a steady supply of carrots. Lucky and Pivotal's Spirit showed PolarIce around America which caused PolarIce to build a positive relationship with America, even though he wasn't a citizen. Pivotal's Spirit decided to settle down and build a lakefront home just outside the border of America close to Mexico.

## Rise of New Vegas

A couple weeks after America became a free nation, WeirdApe wanted to start another new country. He asked PolarIce to join him by building New Vegas, and in return WeirdApe would appoint PolarIce as Vice President of New Vegas. With the creation of New Vegas, WeirdApe became a lot busier and did not have time for America. With WeirdApe slowly fading away from America and Pivotal's Spirit's disappearance, the country faced serious neglect.

With the creation of New Vegas, WeirdApe went on a spree trying to convince everyone he possibly could to join New Vegas. However Pivotal was more important for him to recruit than the other members on the server. With Pivotal's current neutrality on the server and his Spirit's affiliation with WeirdApe's other country, he figured Pivotal would be the perfect fit for New Vegas.

### The end of America

WeirdApe marched over to Pivotal's cabin on the outskirts of Hardcore SMP to ask him to join New Vegas. After some attempts of persuasion, Pivotal declined WeirdApe's offer and claimed that he simply wanted to be left alone with his dog. As a last resort, WeirdApe asked Pivotal to follow him to America for something that he was sure would convince Pivotal to join New Vegas. Pivotal reluctantly followed WeirdApe to America to see what he had to show him.

Pivotal and WeirdApe arrived in America where there was nothing visually appealing in sight. Suddenly, WeirdApe pulled out his gun and shot an end crystal set up underneath America through a hole in the ground. The explosion from this end crystal caused the rest of WeirdApe's end crystals to detonate and blow up the country. After the explosions, there was no land remaining within the borders of America and most of the buildings were destroyed. In a total state of shock, Pivotal did not know what to make of what had just happened. WeirdApe asked Pivotal one last time if this was enough for Pivotal to join New Vegas, and surprisingly, Pivotal agreed to join the country. He burned down his cabin in Hardcore SMP and took his dog Mr. Whiskers with him to start a new life in New Vegas. As for America, this explosion was enough to fully disband its citizens and America was left as a smoking crater.
