The Era of Hope

sThe Era of Hope began on 1 Dec 2017 and was the first era of the Third Epoch.

Timeframe: 1 Dec 2017 - 27 Jan 2018

The Era of Hope came out of the end of the October War and the domination of the server by a few powers such as Russia, Canada, and Spain. Europe became unusually stable, and multiple border agreements were worked out. The geopolitical nature of the server here reached its fullest extent, and many nations began building empires. New nations were formed from the ruins of the old, and the call for a reset reached a fever pitch.
