New Vegas was a country created by WeirdApe and built by PolarIce. It was created in early June 2021. Its purpose is to be an entertainment and gambling haven. At first, its existence was kept as a secret. But when PolarIce fully completed building New Vegas, WeirdApe immediately began recruiting members into New Vegas. By now, practically every member on the SMP has visited or joined New Vegas. It was annexed by Hardcore Empire on July 2, 2023 and became a district of the empire. However after The Liberators reverted Hardcore SMP into a free server once again, New Vegas became an independent country like before.

On August 30, 2023, WeirdApe left a book for Lucky in his house saying that he wanted to meet with Lucky at the front of New Vegas on September 2, 2023. So when the day came, Lucky met WeirdApe in front of New Vegas and tried talking to him, but WeirdApe instead turned around and shot at the hotel. A few seconds later, the hotel erupted in explosions, destroying its surroundings as well. This made New Vegas no longer an existing country anymore. Recently though, Lucky has been working to rebuild New Vegas, though it is not completely restored yet.

## History

In early June 2021, WeirdApe wanted to create a new country different from America. He talked to PolarIce, a neutral member of the server, and asked him to join New Vegas. PolarIce asked what was in it for him, and WeirdApe told him that if he built the main buildings to get New Vegas going, WeirdApe would appoint PolarIce as Vice President of New Vegas. PolarIce agreed and began construction on the country.

While New Vegas was undergoing construction, WeirdApe aimed to keep it secret until it was finished. About a week after he started building, PolarIce had finally finished building New Vegas to get it started up. As promised, WeirdApe made PolarIce his vice president and WeirdApe started telling people about New Vegas.

### Recruitment

Once New Vegas was ready, WeirdApe went on a recruiting run. The first person he recruited was Pivotal since he had just recently been resurrected and had no current affiliations on the server. WeirdApe got Pivotal to join New Vegas by blowing up America. The next person WeirdApe recruited was Lucky given their history together. Since Lucky didn't have America anymore, he joined New Vegas without question.

Now that New Vegas was more widely recognized, the place was sprawling. Pivotal set up his base in a small sand bunker and made plans to build a UFO in New Vegas in the near future. Citizens and visitors alike dined at the restaurant, visited the strip club, stayed at the hotel, and WeirdApe even let certain VIPs play the secret slot machine.

### Exile Arc

PolarIce and Lucky had a small rivalry, given they had both been WeirdApe's right-hand man before. To get back at PolarIce, Lucky burned down PolarIce's house in Hardcore SMP. PolarIce reported Lucky's crime back to WeirdApe in New Vegas. Lucky followed up by saying that PolarIce was lying and that he was trying to frame him. WeirdApe didn't know who to believe as there was no concrete evidence, but he believed Lucky since he had known him longer. With this, WeirdApe exiled PolarIce for attempting to frame a crime on a citizen and made Lucky the new Vice President of New Vegas.

After he was exiled, PolarIce didn't move far from New Vegas. He built a small house on top of a nearby hill overlooking New Vegas. He tried to live in peace, but Lucky would always visit PolarIce to mock him for being exiled. Sometimes they even had build battles which Lucky would win since he had better gear than PolarIce. After a while, PolarIce grew depressed and couldn't handle the torture he was being put through by Lucky. So he abandoned his exile home and made a new one just behind New Vegas.

He thought things would be more peaceful and Lucky would leave him alone at this new exile house, but he was wrong. Lucky found this new exile house and instead of going over to mock PolarIce, he would go over and just straight up murder PolarIce. One day though, Lucky came over with TNT and laid it out in PolarIce's house. Before PolarIce could stop him, Lucky ignited the TNT and PolarIce's second exile home was destroyed. PolarIce fled from his exile house and hid in a nearby forest.

On the same day that Lucky blew up PolarIce's second exile house, DexDude had joined the SMP. Since the two were good friends, PolarIce led DexDude from spawn to the forest that he was hiding in. PolarIce told DexDude about a plan to start a kingdom not too far from New Vegas. DexDude agreed to join and the two hired Pivotal to build Kinoko Kingdom.

### Kinoko Kingdom

In late July 2021/early August 2021, Kinoko Kingdom was officially created. PolarIce and DexDude created the kingdom to escape the cruelty of New Vegas. However they did acquire help from a New Vegas citizen (Pivotal). The kings asked Pivotal if he could build the entire country in exchange for a free house in the kingdom. Pivotal agreed to this mainly so that he could have a second home to go to if things got rough in New Vegas.

Kinoko Kingdom was created as an independent kingdom not seeking the belittlement of other countries. But the leaders of New Vegas did not like this new kingdom on the SMP and saw it as their rival. New Vegas attracted more people than ever before to visit New Vegas and to try and steer visitors away from Kinoko Kingdom.

### Terrorism Arc

In the beginning of the terrorism arc, President WeirdApe of New Vegas was arrested for terrorist acts he brought onto America, treason to America, and the unjustified exile of PolarIce from New Vegas. Since Lucky was absent from the SMP, there was no acting leader in New Vegas and everyone was free to do whatever they wanted in New Vegas. However when Lucky made his return to the SMP, he abandoned New Vegas to free WeirdApe from prison. WeirdApe and Lucky fled all the established land of the SMP and setup a base beneath the river bordering Hardcore SMP and America. This is where they created the Villains Pact to get revenge on the SMP by blowing up all countries on the SMP, even New Vegas.

After meeting with Pivotal, Lucky betrayed WeirdApe to become friends with Dev and the others again. He joined the rest of the heroes and ratted out WeirdApe, explaining to them WeirdApe's plans. The Heroes vs. Villains War broke out and WeirdApe was imprisoned again, making him no longer a citizen of New Vegas.

After the Heroes Pact was signed and Lucky was prompted as the Protector of New Vegas, Dev and PolarIce voted for Lucky to become the new president of New Vegas (even though they were not citizens of New Vegas). The other members of New Vegas and the SMP agreed and Lucky moved into the VIP Presidential Suite in the New Vegas hotel. Not much happened in New Vegas after this, but Lucky did offer BananaBoi a suite in the New Vegas hotel since he was a new member and didn't have a home. WeirdApe's funeral was also hosted at his grave just outside New Vegas.

### Post-Terrorism Arc

A couple weeks went by after the terrorism arc concluded and nothing really happened in New Vegas aside from Lucky participating in the first meeting between Hardcore SMP's world leaders. However on May 30, 2023, Pivotal told Lucky of a plan he had to make New Vegas richer. Pivotal's plan was to sell potions to Kinoko Kingdom in exchange for riches that New Vegas would turn around and sell to Dev for even more valuable riches. For a few weeks, the plan worked and the members of New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom both prospered from their new riches. But on June 17, 2023 during one of their trades, Skull Tissue was spying on Pivotal and Lucky preparing drugs for Kinoko Kingdom. He reported this intel back to Dev in Hardcore SMP. Dev then ordered Lucky to come to Hardcore SMP and when Lucky arrived, Dev immediately confronted Lucky to see if he was really selling drugs to Kinoko Kingdom. After Lucky admitted to trading drugs with Kinoko, Dev officially put an end to the drug trade between New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom and he temporarily banished Lucky from Hardcore SMP.

### Imperialism Arc

After Dev found out about New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom's drug trade, he reformed Hardcore SMP into an empire and planned to annex New Vegas and Kinoko Kingdom so that he could monitor their power and ensure that they would not get more powerful than they should. On July 2, 2023, Dev and Skull Tissue went to New Vegas and told Lucky that he had to give New Vegas up to Hardcore Empire or else New Vegas's citizens would all be killed and the country would be annexed by force. So Lucky gave New Vegas up to the empire without hesitation, not wanting any trouble for himself or his citizens. New Vegas was then reformed as a district of Hardcore Empire.

However on August 29, 2023, an alliance called The Liberators arrested Hardcore Empire's emperor Dev to revert the server back into a free and independent server. This allowed for New Vegas to become the independent nation that it was just like it was before New Vegas was annexed.

### Time Travel Arc

The Time Travel Arc was the last arc that New Vegas existed for. It started with WeirdApe leaving a book for Lucky in his house. The contents of the book stated that WeirdApe wanted to meet with Lucky at the front of New Vegas to settle their past, New Vegas, and more on September 2, 2023. So when September 2 arrived, Lucky logged into the server and went straight for New Vegas to talk with WeirdApe. He saw WeirdApe standing in front of the fountain, but WeirdApe told Lucky to keep his distance. Then WeirdApe turned around and shot in the direction of the hotel, and just a few seconds later, the entire hotel and a few of its surroundings were blown up. Lucky was shocked and went straight to Dev to use the time machine to try and rewind time to before New Vegas was destroyed. However after trying twice to try and go back to the past before New Vegas was destroyed, the time machine was malfunctioning and not rewinding far enough back. This meant that this was officially the end of New Vegas's life.
