Empires

**Minecraft Empires**, informally called simply **Empires**, is a private server created by MangoJr26. The world was created on February 23rd, 2022, after a previous server, Nations, was lost.

The series differs from Nations in many ways; it is in survival mode but the difficulty is peaceful, cheats are illegal and not activated, and there is a set of law in the world. The point of Empires was originally just a new survival world, but as time passed, it became a full-fledged nation series, similar to Nations.

There are two seasons and six arcs. Season 1 began on March 4th, 2022, and ended on May 20th, 2022. Season 2 began on May 21st and ended on July 20th. However, the server was reopened on February 23rd, 2021, the planned first anniversary.

## Plot

Each season is broken up into different ‘arcs’. Season 1 has three arcs. Season 2 has four planned arcs.

### Arc 1-Beginners Toll (February 23rd-April 2nd)

Arc 1 focused on the survival of the members of the server; gathering basic resources and building shelters. They also find a large mine where they are able to gather many intermediate resources. MangoJr and The Lollie plan for a future nation, and BackwardComet discovers a abandoned pillager outpost while following a river. The others come to visit. MangoJr and The Lollie build a small settlement. Beaver (AA) plans to build The Old West.

### Arc 2-Nations Rise (April 3rd-April 30th)

MangoJr paves Main Street, an easy way to get from Illager Island to the settlement. Forests are cleared down, and BackwardComet proclaims he is the leader of the Illager Nation. MangoJr claims he is the leader of the Noob Nation. Meanwhile, Beaver explores and finds a small desert, proclaiming it to be the Old West. He begins construction on a bar, and goes off to find some Dark Oak Wood. The nations begin expanding, and MangoJr creates a Nether Portal. He also finds diamonds. BackwardComet builds walls around Illager Island, as well as Blackstone Outposts around the area. The Lollie begins to steal and take items, becoming labeled as a terrorist, thus beginning The Problems. They end when The Lollie is pardoned by MangoJr. Beaver builds multiple structures in the Old West before leaving to go to the Mountains with Thtsupguy. The two form a new nation, the Mountain Men. Days pass, and MangoJr gets netherite, leading the Mountain Men to begin plotting against him.

### Arc 3-Radicalism (May 2nd-May 20th)

Tensions rise between the Noob Nation and the Mountain Men after a Nether highway is built between the two nations. On May 5th, a heated argument between MangoJr and Thtsupguy leads to a series of bombings. Furious, MangoJr begins a brutal campaign in which he raids and burns down Thtsupguy’s house, and takes many items, as well as stealing from Beaver, now the Arctic Axolotl. BackwardComet constructs a secret base in midst of all the chaos. The Mountain Men regroup and form a new plan: hide their items, get Netherite, and kill MangoJr. MangoJr builds walls over his nation. Thtsupguy attacks MangoJr on May 20th, but he is killed by MangoJr, and Thtsupguy surrenders.

### Arc 4-Justice over Control (May 21st-June 4th)

The Arctic Axolotl resumes de facto control over the Mountain Men, but pressure from MangoJr, The Lollie, and his former ally Thtsupguy force him to step down, disbanding the Mountain Men. In anger, the AA (Arctic Axolotl) commits genocide against Thtsupguy’s villagers and takes items. After a day’s manhunt, they catch AA. A week passes, and a trial is held in which the AA is found guilty of genocide, conspiracy, theft, and other crimes against the newly formed United Nations. They sentence him to one month in prison, with only two weeks if parole. Days pass, and AA tries to escape the new prison he was brought into but fails, and is released. He promises he will build a casino.

### Arc 5-Corrupted (June 5th-June 27th)

Tensions rise once again between the AA and Thtsupguy. The Arctic Axolotl builds a tower, and BackwardComet is asked where his secret base is. The Arctic Axolotl, now just the Axolotl, moves to a far away mesa biome after his tower was dismantled, marking a soon end to the ongoing War on Security. A new member, DolphinBoy, joins the server, and creates the Bear Kingdom. Meanwhile, The Lollie is restrained after burning part of MangoJr’s House down after defending against mobs since Easy mode was turned on. Another member joins the server as well, MicroRaptor. The Trial for The Lollie begins after the June 23rd Burning, and The Lollie is sentenced to exile and can never return to the BVC, newly renamed Brittanica, The Illager Faction and Mesearth, the Arctic Axolotl’s new nation.

### Arc 6-Superiority and Strength (June 28th-July 19th)

A new member, PicklesPG, joined. Pickles created a secret base in order for his location to remain hidden. He caused trouble by stealing from others. While looting the Bear Kingdom, Pickles was caught in the act by DolphinBoy and GoldenBoy. Pickles was killed by GoldenBoy. Pickles attempted to get his stuff back and was ran back to the Bear Kingdom, but was approached by DolphinBoy. The BVC gets an upgrade, and BackwardComet constructs an ampitheater. MicroRaptor merges his faction with the Arctic Axolotl’s nation, and PicklesPG joins the nation as well. Tensions continue to rise between the BVC and Mesearth as BackwardComet constructs his new home and makes the Pillager Outpost a national monument. Eventually, the tension comes to a breaking point when the Arctic Axolotl attempts to burn down the BVC. In response, Mesearth is partially destroyed and because of that, the BVC is burnt to the ground. The Axolotl and PicklesPG are then banned.

### Arc 7-Rebirth (February 23rd-)

After one year, the server is reopened. This version of Empires is the ‘good ending’, with New Life being the ‘bad ending’ (nuclear apocalypse). Thtsupguy makes a speech saying everyone now has a clean slate and there will be no more raiding of other people’s bases. As for the Untied Nations, many people on the server believe that it shouldn’t be the property of the BVC. Because of this, an election will be held to determine the new President of the United Nations, with the two main candidates, BackwardComet and PIcklesPG, going on a propaganda spree while the third candidate, The Lollie, has yet to make a speech.
