The Great Depression Era

The **Great Depression Era** was a challenging period in the history of the Nutribun Republic, an online community centered around the 2philippines4u Discord server, that caused depression to the server members, both literally and figuratively. It was marked by a significant decline in server activity, financial struggles, and a war with Asia\_irl, which further exacerbated the difficulties faced by the community It began on the start of January 2023

## Economic Downturn and the 2023 Boost Crash

The Great Depression Era began in January 2023, as the Nutribun Republic experienced an economic downturn that had both literal and figurative impacts on its server members. One of the major events that contributed to this period of hardship was the 2023 Boost Crash.

Boosts play a crucial role in Discord servers, as they enhance various features and provide additional perks to the community. However, during the Great Depression Era, the Nutribun Republic experienced a drastic decline in boosts. The server, which previously had 18 boosts, saw this number plummet to just 2 within a matter of weeks. As a result, the server's boost level dropped from Level 3 to Level 1, significantly affecting the available features and the overall morale of the community.

The sudden decrease in boosts had a demoralizing effect on server members, as it symbolized a decline in community support and participation. The Nutribun Republic struggled to recover from this blow, leading to a period of uncertainty and diminished server activity.

## War with asia\_irl

The war with Asia\_irl was sparked when a member of the Nutribun Republic named Gabcis was doxxed by individuals from the Asia\_irl server. Doxxing involves the public release of private or sensitive information about an individual without their consent. In response to this invasion of privacy, Gabcis retaliated by revealing that she possessed military intelligence, specifically discord logs and tokens, related to Asia\_irl.

Gabcis' claim of possessing these military intelligence caused panic within the Asia\_irl server. The potential exposure of their internal conversations and activities led to a sense of vulnerability and fear among its members. This situation prompted an exodus of individuals from Asia\_irl, seeking refuge in other servers to protect themselves from potential repercussions.

Prior to the devastating bombing of Nutriburg, a crucial event took place known as the Nutribun-Asia\_irl Summit. This summit aimed to establish a ceasefire and initiate diplomatic negotiations between the warring factions, with the mediation of Azael. The summit brought together representatives from both the Nutribun Republic and the Asia\_irl server in an effort to find common ground and work towards a peaceful resolution. There were hopes that the summit would serve as a turning point, fostering understanding and paving the way for reconciliation.

However, despite the goodwill and intentions expressed during the summit, Asia\_irl betrayed the agreement. During the war, a member named Sojukirin infiltrated the Nutribun server, likely as a representative or operative of Asia\_irl. Sojukirin's objective was to disrupt and damage the Nutribun Republic's infrastructure. Through their infiltration, Sojukirin engaged in acts of sabotage within the Nutribun server. Their actions resulted in significant damage, with approximately one-fourth of the server's infrastructure being destroyed. This included the destruction of Nutriburg, the capital city of the Nutribun Republic. The loss of vital server components and resources had a profound impact on the community, exacerbating the challenges already faced during the Great Depression Era.

Following the destruction caused by Sojukirin's sabotage, the Nutribun Republic initiated reconstruction efforts to restore the damaged infrastructure and revive the server. Server members rallied together to rebuild and repair the server's functionalities, aiming to recover from the devastating consequences of the war. Despite the significant impact of the conflict, the war with Asia\_irl eventually reached a halt without a conclusive resolution.
