Kokomo

"**Betwixt the Sun-kist Seas**"

Kokomo is a small archipelago thalassocratic nationstate in the West Aetherial Sea, far south of Voshe. While prosperous and internally innovative, it has remained in near perfect isolation for all its existence, discovered in the last decades only by Voshi sailors and naval entrepreneurs who have kept the knowledge classified among the Oceanic Republican Government. The Kokomo people are homogeneously oceanic and speak a distant sister tongue of Voshi, leading academics to believe that it was likely a southernmost part of the ancient united continent. On WikiCraft IV, a microcosm of it exists as a town operated jointly by MC\_Zoomer and Marc\_Warfury, as a vertex of the triangle formed alongside the other two nearby towns Skyhold and Kassôn.

## About

### Wikicraft IV

Kokomo was the first settlement created on Wikicraft IV, beginning as a shelter of necessity against the environment and the hostile dwellers of Vuraki Island, itself close to the server spawnpoint. Within the first few nights, after an onslaught of undead, MC\_Zoomer recreated the Shitshack from Old Dreiton with the logistical and defensive aid of Jeremiah Garland and Sam Darkwalker. The trio remained in the shack for a couple days, stockpiling basic edibles and building resources. Soon after the departure of Jeremiah and Sam, Nults McKagan arrived and helped extend the Shitshack and create an adjacent farm. The new Feces Home would soon see sister buildings pop up nearby, including a tool shed, brewery, and other houses. Nults' own departure would signal the rise of a rapid growth in Kokomo, and the town would grow into the sole breadbasket of the server until the nearby Kasson came into economic power with the aid of some Kokomo capital. The architectural style of the town was made to resemble an early-game RPG village and the lack of massive establishments and transportation is befitting of that.

The village currently spans four islands, with the largest by far holding Kokomo proper, and the other three host smaller resource facilities such as the Angler's Haven fishing lane, an underground autofactory, and the famous two-story barn. In the summer of its conception, Kokomo became embroiled in a tense standoff with its desert neighbor that came to a peaceful resolution from whence the two powers have resolved to work together. There are currently plans to extend onto other islands as well as to add shops in the village proper.

## Trivia

* The name "**Kokomo**" comes from the 1988 hit yacht rock song by The Beach Boys.
* Kokomo was the first permanent settlement to be established on WikiCraft IV, growing out of the temporary protection and storage hut known as the Shitshack, later renamed the Feces Home and then the Kokohut. The original name "Shitshack" was taken from the first building on WikiCraft III's Dreiton, built similarly and for the same purpose.
* The town in WikiCraft IV displays anomalous behavior of particular interest to the ACS; outside observers consistently state the town is finished despite ongoing actions to expand it. Most curiously, the observers never acknowledge that it has indeed grown, leading the Society to believe the town is either a cognitive hazard or that the people around Kokomo stay hatin' on front runners.
* There are rumored to exist a system of catacombs beneath the archipelago that draw in and imprison monsters. Debate as to whether to throw in people who cry at the sight of π is ongoing.
