## History

### Preceded by

Nova

On March 27, 2021, Polis launched and was released to the public. In the first 3 hours of its release, players had already landed on each continent.

The first town created on Polis was Ankara by SilentStormSix and the second, Paris, by coolkidsupa. The third town created was London, created by TehRover. The first nation created on Polis was Daguo, created by SandmanTM, and the second was the Ottoman Empire, created by SilentStormSix.

In North America, towns such as Boston, New York, Richmond, as well as the Norse colonies of Þorvaldsfjord and Straumsfjord dotted the coast. New Concord being the first town on the west coast located above San Francisco. Many towns in the early nation of Hawaii quickly popped up such as Honolulu created by VibexGavin. In Europe, cities like Berlin, Saint Petersburg, Edinburgh, and London sprung up. Asia immediately showed its force with the formation of Daguo, as well as Imperial Japan. In South America, early towns included Coro and Brasilia.

## **History**

### **Early Terrorism**

Within the first few days of Polis' release, terrorism began to rise and small groups began to camp towns and attack and kill numerous players.

(Especially smaller towns such as Coro, Braslia. Many more were terrorised all over South America).

#### **Mediterranean Piracy**

On March 27, 2021, the first day of Polis, multiple towns, such as Athens and Jerusalem, committed various acts of piracy. An incident occurred between both of these towns with the Vaticorn City. the most devastating incident was between Jerusalem and the Vaticorn. Jerusalem attacked 4 maritime ships near the West African coast, belonging to the Vaticorn City and a trading partner of theirs. This resulted with one casualty, and the loss of 1 sheep and 3 chickens. It was very sad. The Corn Pope and triathletechamp, the leader of Jerusalem, have since signed a peace agreement.

#### **Manchester Terrorism**

On March 28, 2021, the second day of Polis, a group of players from the town of Manchester began terrorizing those peacefully living in Boston. Among the terrorists were the players ADVoX, TheGoat\_\_, and uavq. The Bostonians fought long and hard against these terrorist actions and ended up fighting them off.

#### **English Terrorism**

Following the terrorist actions of Manchester, the nation of England sent and allowed many players to travel around the map; killing and stealing from numerous players. In response to this, large nations such as Daguo, France, and the Celtics rose up against England, but quickly backed down after a response from the vast and powerful Ottoman Empire. The terrorist actions from England continued.

### **Early Wars**

#### **Portuguese-Celtic War**

On March 29, 2021, the Celtics sent their army through the Irish sea towards the bay of Lisbon and laid siege to the town. According to the king of the Celtics, the King of Portugal insulted their nation and threatened them previously. Less than an hour after the siege began, the Ottoman Empire took the side of Portugal, directly assisting them in the first war on Polis. The war ended with a Portuguese victory as they successfully fended off the Celtics.

#### **Polaris-Southern States War**

On March 31, 2021, the nation of Polaris began a southern expansion campaign and attacked the Southern States. They began the attack in Texas, beginning the war as an absolute blowout favoring the attackers.

#### **Danish-NSE War**

On March 31, 2021, the North Sea Empire looked southward to take the territories of Denmark and the surrounding lands. They declared war and attacked the capital of the nation: Copenhagen. The Ottoman Empire assisted The NSE in this war. The nation of England assisted Denmark. On the second day of the siege, Daguo declared war on Denmark, assisting the NSE and the Ottomans. This was the largest scale and bloodiest siege yet on Polis. The war ended on April 5, 2021, with an NSE victory resulting in a capturing and plundering of Copenhagen.

### **The Fall of the Daguo Global Empire**

On April 7, 2021, after Daguo's failure to defend Transylvania and their failure to keep terrorists away from the 2nd Commonwealth, the Royal Family declared the release of all protectorate nations due to their incompetent army and rising tensions with England and the Southern States. They declared that all towns outside mainland china are free to leave and are under less protection. This directly effected the continents of North America and the territories of Austral-Asia as Daguo was the largest and most expansive nation at this time. Therefore, it then resulted into the Collapse of Daguo, causing several new nation states to form.

### **The Quick Rise and Decline of the Global Federation**

On April 18, 2021, the nations of North Sea Empire and USA, shortly followed by Daguo, merged together to form the Global Federation. A new superpower on Polis like never seen before, reaching over 700 citizens. In perspective, Imperial Japan held the second position on the n list with 191 citizens. The reason for Daguo's merge was in fear of a Brazilian invasion. However, in the coming days, many towns would leave the nation, such as New England. Eventually the nation renamed to The Federation, and after a few more name changes settled on Jokull Riket, and many of those towns would go off to make new nations.

### **World War Polis 1**

The nation of Serbia, not seen by the world as a threat or a superpower, grew to a monsterous size before the war began, performing exceptionally in many local wars. As Serbia grew and continued to blow through territory and expand, European powers banded together to halt the expansion. On April 19, 2021, the German Empire disbanded following a blitz on the nation by Serbia and sieged the capital of KawnCorp, thus starting World War Polis 1. Notable sieges include Paris, Constantinople, Bloemontein, and Ankara. A very important turning point in the war was the Battle of Constantinople, in which not only did the allies of EDF first strike back against Serbia, but the Ottoman Empire, who fought alongside Serbia at Paris, decided to join the forced of EDF. The war ended on May 27, 2021, as Serbia declared peacefulness under the rule of a new king.

### **The Luoyang Ultimatum**

After the surrender of China in the Great Chinese Civil War, tensions continued to rise, border conflicts sprung up, and skirmishes occurred daily. Not wanting a repeat of the previous gruesome civil war, China, led by Dubbykt, officially sent the Luoyang Ultimatum to the Xindaguo government. The ultimatum demanded the transfer of the towns Luoyang, Kaifeng, Potato Valley, Chongqing, Hainan, and Urumqi. The ultimatum was immediately rejected by Xindaguo and it seemed inevitable that a second civil war was to begin as China set siege to Daguo City itself. Following this attack, the Xindaguo government surrendered the town and accepted the previous terms, losing 90% of their land, citizens, and leaving Xindaguo with nothing but their capital city as a vassal state of the PRC.

On April 4, 2021, Daguo City sent a message to Bloemfontein, the capital of Vrystaat, informing them that if they do not merge into Daguo, they would be attacked. BlendTM, the leader of Vrystaat, sent a message back rejecting the offer and in turn, Daguo declared their first war on Vrystaat. Following the declaration and the siege laid to Bloemfontein, the Ottoman Empire and the nation of Polaris choose to assist Daguo. On April 5, 2021, Vrystaat began peace talks with Daguo leadership. After a long conversation, white peace was decided. Vrystaat surrendered all sieges and a small shipment of weapons was sent from Daguo as a reparation. The nations ended their hostilities.

#### **Daguo-Southern States War**

After Daguo's minor involvement in the Polaris-Southern States war enraged the Southerners, they looked to attack Daguo as revenge. On April 6, 2021, the Southern States declared war on Daguo and attacked their European holdings, specifically the large town of Transylvania. The siege began as a blowout favoring the attackers. Regardless, the Southern States were forced to hire soldiers from other nations to ensure victory. The attackers used traps, up-close jabs, and other unusual tactics to defeat the large and unorganized Daguo army. After two days of un-relentless siege, the owner of Transylvania surrendered the siege, thus ending the war.

#### **American War**

On April 13, 2021, the USA, formerly Southern States, sieged 4 different towns and 2 different nation capitals along the East Coast US region including the capitals of American CNFD and United States.

The American CNFD quickly fell as the nation capital was moved to Port Catoosville in Papua New Guinea.

#### **GBF-Brazilian War**

On April 18, 2021, after the Global Federation (GBF) rose to power, they declared war on the Empire Of Brazil. This war lasted a measly 4 hours and included no fighting.

#### **World War Polis 1**

The nation of Serbia, not seen by the world as a threat or a superpower, grew to a monsterous size before the war began, performing exceptionally in many local wars. As Serbia grew and continued to blow through territory and expand, European powers banded together to halt the expansion. On April 19, 2021, the German Empire disbanded following a blitz on the nation by Serbia and sieged the capital of KawnCorp, thus starting World War Polis 1.

#### **1st and 2nd Rimuru-Madagascar War**

Mahanoro was founded just north of Tempest, the old capital of Rimuru, which at the time had total control over the island of Madagascar. After some heated debates, and tensions that almost started a conflict on May 5th, Mahanoro refused to join Rimuru, instead joining Connaught. This resulted in the Battle of Mahonoro (aka the 1st Rimuru-Madagascar War) as Rimuru attempted a siege on May 12th and failed. The mayor of Mahanoro would then go on to create the nation of Madagascar. Two weeks later on May 27, 2021, Madagascar, Connaught, and Indus siege all Rimuru towns located on Madagascar starting the 2nd Rimuru-Madagascar War To which uickly exoculated in a proxy war. Although this time things where better for Rimuru with the help of their allies and even got Indus and Connaught to surrender the sieges at Nauportus and Noreste, and where even doing good at Mahanoro for the first few days. Never the less, Tempest fell, Rimuru failed to take Mahanoro again, and the capital was moved to Jalisco. Ending the 2nd War. There was also a separate war fought on Noreste and Jalisco against Somalia on June 3rd, but Rimuru and with a few volunteers managed to repel the siege and boosted some moral within the nation.

#### **Feudal War**

As Histalia's presence in the world grew weaker and weaker, division started in the nation as a group of Histalians split off to make the nation of Feudal Japan. After making the nation on Japan's coast, Japan instantly sieged the nation capital with help from EDF, Akatsuki, and Madagascar. The following days were filled with relentless battles. However, due to many player accounts of feudals being banned as well as the heavy support from Ottoman Empire and Polaris States, Japan won the battle, and therefore, the war. The Feudals then retreated to a town in the middle of the United States.

#### **The Great Chinese Civil War**

After Dubbykt, the previous Prince of Daguo, seized control and merged the nation into the Global Federation, the Peoples Republic of China was formed. A former diplomat and parliament member of Daguo reformed the old nation, bringing back its exiled members. Tensions immediately rose as the two nations competed for hegemony over Asia, causing border wars, skirmishes, and constant civil strife. These tensions brewed over into an all out war between the two nations, resulting in battles in eastern China, mainly in the towns of Nanchang, Daguo City, and Beijing. The end of the war saw Daguo as its victor, therefore crippling the PRC for a short time. This war would inevitably lead to the sending of the Luoyang Ultimatum, completely changing the balance of power in Asia forever.

#### **Windsburg Tragedy**

The Windsburg Tragedy

The Windsburg Tragedy marks one of the most documented sieges in Polis history with video footage of the siege and names of all those who served. It also marks one of the greatest battles of the Windmillian Reich, a nation run by The WindmillMan, which was known by many to be one of the most powerful and influential nations at its peak. The attacking side won the siege by hacking, however, the admins of the server saw this and declared the defending team the winners of the siege. The town of Windsburg was abandoned after the tragedy and has been left in that state ever since.

#### **Congo War**

In early 2023, the Congo Empire, a nation in Central Africa was sieged by indonesia. Nations quickly took sides with the PDF, North Korea, Anarchy, and Han taking the defenders' side while MACAKO and The Horde took the attackers' side. It was the earliest war of 2023 and saw the first use of North Korea's, Congo Empire's, and Han's armed forces in combat. This war was sparked by the Congo empires leader telling one of their newer players Pji56 to siege them if he did not like them sieging dead towns, this culminated in the creation of a new town called dcp2 and a new nation called Indonesia. The day after the creation of Indonesia dcp2 attacked Congo empire at their southern border, quickly securing a few thousand points after killing a player by the name apostle a few times using pearl glitching and sit glitching. The nation of indonesia had support from their allies, (*tithanur (jury) and BuilderSam4)* and ultimately won the siege by over 13000 points. The defending side learned from their mistakes after constantly feeding the enemy with siege points. A total of two vehicles were documented to have been destroyed during the war. The nation was plundered and all valuables were stolen. The aftermath of this war led onto the Luxembourg war with the same players and then the second congo war in which some of sauceomellete69’s allies abandoned him for the more successful nation of Indonesia.

**Luxembourg Siege**

this siege was the second siege of the Congo war. It happened because of the rivalry between the leader of Indonesia and the leader of Luxembourg. The defenders was Luxembourg, PDF, Han, histalia, and North Korea. This siege had very little combat between Indonesia’s and Luxembourg’s armed forces. Indonesia still had MACAKO and the the horde on its side but it also had bruhcorp and carb empire on its side. The defenders had a two story fort made out of wood with an awp position on its roof. Majority of the fighting was done between PDF and their allies and Indonesia and their allies with very little fighting happening with Luxembourg. The siege was slow at first with not much action but as the siege dragged on into its second day the fighting picked up with PDF and their allies scoring numerous victories over Indonesia and their allies but as the fighting dragged on getting late into the second day Indonesia started winning the fighting and ended the second day on a positive siege balance. Heading into the third day of the fighting the leader of Luxembourg a player called sauceomellete69 decided that PDF’s leader edotbabyyy was not doing a good enough job at defending and decided to insult him and the\_windmillman making the latter join Indonesia’s cause. The third day had little fighting as some of Luxembourg insulted one of PDF’s best allies presios causing him and alluistic to leave the fight. Valiantly what was left of the defence force carried on fighting but to no avail as Tithanur (jury) and \_carb did a fantastic display of skill in the final few hours of the siege securing the attackers the victory.

#### **Kakinada War**

Sometime before February 24, 2023, the nation of MACAKO decided to siege the town of Kakinada, PDF that was run by Kolton29, whom many consider to be right hand man of PDF's leader, Edotbabyyy. MACAKO placed an outpost near the border of Kakinada, an informal war crime. The nation of PDF sieged the attack outpost placed by MACAKO. This marked the beginning of the Kakinada War. MACAKO soon retaliated with a siege of their own against Kakinada. The town of Alludotistan, PDF sent reinforcements (\_carb and Presios) with an outpost of their own near the siege. However, MACAKO sieged the outpost in an attempt to stop reinforcements. BruhCo sent their own players to this battlefield with an outpost of their own. Ultimately, that too was sieged by the PDF. As of February 27, 2023, the war rages on with a total of four sieges within a 3 chunk distance of each other. This marks one of the most numerous sieges in a war in 2023.
