Solanum

Solanum is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Potatoland. it currently hots the center of government of the S.R.P and it holds most of its population.

## Origins

Solanum was the spawn point of the server before it was moved to the citadel. This spawn point was lucky since it was right in the middle of a village.The first player to claim some buildings was Sir\_Pedro (now Ghost\_Pedro) who claimed a couple of houses in the village which had been severely raided and destroyed by other players. It's also belived that he laied the first fences around the village. Pedro would later go on to found Germania. The second inahbitant was Kikko\_06 who started to rebuild the village around the 25 of november of 2020. He helped Sir\_Pedro to look for a trident in order to obtain full ownership of the land in the village and togheter with GiggleYoda proclaimed the nation of the S.R.P independent. Curiously the nation was named before the capital. Giggleyoda left the newly born S.R.P to focus on his personal goals in the server. Kikko\_06 started to build and modify the city.First of all covering up explosions that were littered across the village then he built a little shack that he called home which still exists today! All of this plus the potato farm was completed before declaring independence Around 28 of november 2020. After the independence the players :Yougottaminedeeper, Chipbar and Light\_YT all joined the S.R.P and began working on restructuring the buildings.

### The war of the sixth of december

The newly born city still without its name was beign rebuilt under S.R.P control. The S.R.P had joined the A.D.P (armarian defense pact) Around the second of december 2020 hoping that it would be defended by armaria in case of war. For the occasion a member of armaria ,that would become revelant later, Tenglish01 built a small but simbolic chest holder in which the treaty was placed. The president of the S.R.P Kikko\_06 decided to leave the A.D.P after having ideological conflicts with the armarian empire. The armarian empire responded with war. To pull a big brain move Kikko\_06 disabled pvp in his town using the towny plug in. This unfortunatley backfired as the owner made the world pvp only. After some fighting, which armaria won, the armarian troops agreed to leave the S.R.P while claiming it as a puppet state even if a treaty was never formalized.

### constructions

Even if the war with armaria was a faliure Tenglish01 helped the S.R.P in a lot of ways. He togheter with Yougottaminedeeper built the presidential palace and helped to build several buildings but this later on.

### name

The name Solanum was chosen during the construction of the presidential palace by all members of S.R.P. Solanum is a shortened version of the scientific name for the potato which is Solanum tuberosum. Other suggested names were: Flence and Esol.

### separation crisis

On the ninth of december 2020 Chipbar,Yougottaminedeeper and Light\_YT all refused to give Kikko\_06 acess to an iron farm built by them arguing that he hadn't done anything to help and as such the building was of their property. This caused a division between the S.R.P citizen and almost lead to a war but thanks to international diplomacy the S.R.P agreed to recognized the independence of the new nation called Canadian Socialist Republic (C.S.R) which was founded by Chipbar,Yougottaminedeeper and Light\_YT. The treaty of independence of the C.S.R can be found in the presidential palace in the office.
