Novum Imperium Romanum

Everything started in October 2020, in EarthCraft, a new nation was born named RES PVBLICA ROMANA claiming all of Italy, its leader was known as Owowatzthis or tagad. Meanwhile, another glorious leader was about to form the most known nation of EC during the last months of the server named Demdonkey. Owo and Demdonkey became good friends at the beginning of their stories and soon formed an alliance. This period is known for the uprising nations of the Mediterranean, and soon several other nations and independent towns were formed. The Roman Republic was known for being the largest nation on the server and one of the most powerful, until one day the owner named Chris announced a server reset. Owo then left EC and his nation forever and probably never coming back. But before he left, he appointed Brandead as the new senator. Brandead was already known in the empire and was a good player, but after a week of being inactive on Discord, he lost hope for the Roman Republic and deleted the Discord server.

## Segret's story

On the 24th of December, the server was finally open with a larger map (this is before Brandead deleted the Roman Republic's Discord server), and they had the idea to be the leader of the town where they were previously, Sicily or Sicilia. When they created the town, the Roman Republic hadn't been created yet, and meanwhile, some Romans joined Sicily to wait until Bran created Rome. A week passed, and Brandead decided to delete the Discord server. Since they were disorganized with no true leader of the Roman Republic, they decided to create a new nation, the Kingdom Of Italy. Before that, they and RegentSpace were discussing the future of the nation.

They then had to choose to create the Kingdom of Two Sicilies or the Kingdom of Italy or join Egypt. After several days, they chose the Kingdom of Italy, and a week after the official announcement to Sicilian citizens, they went on to form the town of Rome. Just after the creation of Rome, the nation was finally born, and in less than a day, Rome gained over 15 members. Every day players joined and built even more houses until they reached 40 members in the last weeks of EC. Their nation was in a golden age, and a war had just started against the French Empire. Unfortunately, during the war, EC was destroyed after a fake rumor that Chris, the owner, sold the IPs of EC players. The server fell into anarchy for a few days until Chris permanently closed the server.

## Byzantine Empire

Most EC players then moved to its rival named Vanilla Earth or simply VE. They couldn't advertise their nation like they did in EC, so they had the idea to create the HRE. In this way, people could be encouraged to join them for the special privileges towns have with their government system. But then there was already the German Empire and Fascist Italy, so they decided to move to the east, to Constantinople, where they had the same idea of creating a nation with the style of the HRE but also related to the history of the Kingdom of Italy and Rome. So, they created the Byzantine Empire.

## The downfall of the nation.

When they first settled in Constantinople, a lot of Turks were constantly harassing people in their nation. Everything was going OK until most people in their nation, like Ser Marco, decided to leave due to the Turks. From then, the entire nation collapsed, the Discord server became inactive, and the town was abandoned. Despite that, they were still trying to get revenge and stole several stacks of netherite ingots from the Turks. When VE 6.0 ended, the nation was basically gone, and they were the only one left, so they stopped playing for several months. From VE 7.0 to VE's last season, they had no plans to create a nation. They spent most of the time shitposting on their Discord server. But then Sols, the owner of VE, decided to delete the server and create a new one which is still in development called Hollow Craft. Most of VE's player base moved to a new server created by other VE players named Ecopol.

## The Miracle

In this period, Marco Ser and his friends came back to them to create a new nation. Initially, they didn't want to because they thought they still couldn't achieve the same glory as Italy in EC 6.0. But then other OG people came back to them asking for a server to join, so they thought that the time was mature enough to create a nation. However, Cittadella, Marco's town, was conquered by Vietnam, and they were planning to rebel against them to gain independence. Luckily, Vietnam got merged with the Galactic Empire, which allowed them to be independent. Now they own the most beautiful city in the server.

## Another downfall

The Ecopol server, like EC did, died due to its own staff team. Italy, yet distinguished itself by making the most beautiful city in the server and also adopting new innovative ways of doing business. Arguably the best season they ever played.

## The end… Or not?

The following rebranding of Ecopol: Ecoredux, was initially a failure, yet they built some wonderful buildings like the Trevi Fountain. In this period, they also had the brilliant idea of bringing partnerships into their nation. Their Discord server went from 70 members to 200 in just a few months. Ecoredux soon failed, and they have been on their usual pause for another long time. Marco is, at the time of writing this, too busy with work to play, but he might come back as his IRL friends told them. Meanwhile, Ecoredux released a new, much better version, but Italy is occupied by the Roman Empire. Is this the right moment to get back to their glory and take what's theirs?

## Novum Imperium Romanum

After the announcement of EcoRedux Season 2, Segret decided to migrate to stoneworks, one of the most popular Minecraft servers. Shallo boy took the initiative to organize the establishment of a New Roman Empire, as he was a bedrock player and he couldn't follow his friends to stoneworks. So he publicly laid claim to the Empire's land on Discord. Shortly after, LodPlayer, a member from a different Minecraft server, migrated to EcoRedux along with 30 of its fellow residents. LodPlayer asserted himself as the Emperor of Rome, which led to conflicts over Shallo's earlier land claims. After some time the two leaders decided to merge their nations as they saw that they almost liked each other and they succesfully continued the history of this nations, wich now was divided to the ecoredux remainings and the stoneworks cousins.
