Mills Co-Operative Company

Mills Co-Operative Company (or "Mills Co-Operative Co.") was a shell company that was ran by Mr. Mills. It was founded on February 27th, 2023 primarily as a means to organize money for the construction of the DiLaurentis Tower. The company focused on various projects as well including some displays for the 2023 Fair of Minedonia. On November 7th, Mr. Mills announced the closure of the Mills Co-Operative Co. and offered the factory and scrap materials for sale.

## Beginning

On February 27th, 2023, Mr. Mills announced plans for the construction of the DiLaurentis Tower; a planned 319 block tall skyscraper which was claimed to be Minedonia's largest skyscraper, along with one of Minedonia's largest projects. The announcement was announced under "Mills Co-Operative Company" on Minedonia's Discord server.

## Refinery

On February 28th, 2023, The Mills Co-Operative Company announced their planned refinery was complete. The refinery is planned to extract deactivated Overlord Virus to use for the statues. It is located behind the train station near Downtown, Minedonia.

On March 4th, the refinery began to extract Overlord Virus from the ground. Many civilians grew concerned about the drilling and reported it to President Henry. Mr. Mills originally lied to the government about the refinery's operations and what materials it was extracting. President Henry ordered the refinery to be turned off until investigations can proceed. Mills defied that order; which ultimately caused President Henry to seize the refinery for the Minedonian Government, thus temporarily ending operations.

On September 4th, nearly 5 months later after initially being seized, the refinery began to drill again in an attempt to locate oil. Most of the material drilled up were deactivated, or live Overlord Virus. Morden Graive, Mitch and Zane Foulkes, and Henry were all present and were alarmed by the potential ecological impact, and tried to get Mr. Mills to stop the drilling to no avail. Morden Graive later went to Henry’s house to request a signature on a document that allows Paragon to seize the refinery for cleanup and research until the threat is presumed to be resolved. Once Paragon arrived, there were several containers which presumably held the live Overlord Virus stacked up near the entrance. Morden seized the containers and took a sample of the suspected oil for testing.

## Marin Paints

On March 3rd, 2023, Mr. Mills announced a household paint line called "Marin Paint", which was alleged to be the finest, safest, and affordable paint. Marin Paint was sold at the Mills Store and had three options for production; a kitchen blender, a commercial mixer, and the paint creator machine.

On May 15th, Mr. Mills announced that the Mills Store and Marin Paints would be shut down due to lack of business. No containers of paint were ever sold, nor is any artifacts from Marin Paints known.

## 2023 Invasion of Minedonia

On April 4th, 2023, several trucks from the Mills Co-Operative Company was seen in use during the beginning of the 2023 Invasion of Minedonia. The trucks all had large red letter “A”s on the sides; expressing support for the invasion. Mr. Mills originally financed the invading group in an effort to retake the refinery from the Government. However, the group allegedly turned on him for unknown reasons. Mr. Mills denied all involvement in the Invasion.

## 2023 Fair of Minedonia

On January 28th, 2023, the Mills Co-Operative Co. began to construct a ride that is alleged to be the tallest ride in Minedonia for the 2023 Fair of Minedonia. The ride, called The Spencer Hastings Ride, includes parts salvaged from the Overlord’s helicopter which was on display at the 2022 Fair of Minedonia, and also a statue of Spencer Hastings on the top. The ride was moved to the Fair grounds on August 28th.

On September 3rd, the Mills Co-Operative Co. designed the center piece for the Fair grounds, a statue of a World Edit wand; and also two ornamental statues which were also moved in the Fair grounds. On the same day, Mr. Mills entered in Henry Ford’s Woofus Contest for the Fair. Mills’ replica statue is mostly likely planned to be made by the Mills Co-Operative Co.

## Closure

On November 7th, Mr. Mills announced that he was closing the Mills Co-Operative Co. without any explanation why. He has placed the factory in Garland and scrap material for sale.
