Era 1 Nome

### Era 1: Towny Havens 2

While this era was the first for Nome, it was not the first era of Towny Havens. The server had another version before hand that was pre-Nome, so Nome era 1 took place in Towny Havens 2/3.

### Inhabitants

Lumo
Gruia
Thom
Vlad
Voro
Sierra

Michaelchat (briefly)

Era 1 did have the nicest building of all of the era's thusfar, we have very few images from the time left, but the ones that remain show the building style to be very beautiful town.

### Timeline

A more elongated list of the history can be found here.

#### The Very Beginning

Nome was established in August 2020 by Vorobyevite aka Voro and Shattered2907 aka Gruia.

With a quiet start, not engaging much in the community, Nome would eventually join the Canada Nation. The Canada Nation was at the time a very well respected Nation however it soon fell to irrelevancy.

Soon after this davaiman(Vlad), Turquo1se(Thom) and Lemont3a\_(Lumo) joined Nome to help with building and gathering funds. However Gruia locked Thom in the storage house, meaning he was unable to help. Voro, Gruia, and Vlad did the majority of building, helping turn the small village into a flourishing town, now with a much larger area across the Alaskan Coast.

However the hype eventually died down, the unfinished builds remaining so until the town became unclaimed and left to rot, until December 2020.

#### The Not-So-Glorious Reclaimation of Nome

Months later (December 19th 2020) Vlad and Lumo decided to revisit Nome out of boredom. To their surprise it was still in great condition, practically untouched. The only things missing were items from their chest, looted by other members. They also had no money left as it had all been spent on upkeeping Nome until it was left unclaimed due to lack of funds.

Luckily for them, the outsiders pitied the Nomans and helped them reclaim parts of the town, although not much. More and more chunks eventually got reclaimed and through grinding and patience they were able to regain their valuables. Lumo then joined the Roman Empire, unaware of the negative associations of the Nation. They gained nothing apart from a beacon.

The nation soon had elections, Lumo put their name up yet recieved no votes. A person who did win however was very frustrating to deal with. This led to a vote amongst the Nomans which concluded in a decision to leave the Empire.

The frustrating politician ended up pushing more buttons, threatening sieges and war if those ever returned to Towny Havens. For protection, Nome joined Gaia with plans to leave eventually however this never came to be.

#### The Exile of MichaelChat04

Michael was presented a deal by Lumo when she was Mayor, for a small percentage of his wealth he would be granted Co-Mayorship, he decided to think about it, not seeing much use to the deal. During his thinking period the Nome elections had started once again, the Treasurer of Nome, who controlled the funds, taxes and other finance business was between Michael and Thom. Thom beat Michael 3 to 1. Michael eventually accepted the deal with the condition of a right to initiate diplomacy under the Noman banner at will. He payed 500 gold for this deal. Shortly after Thom started forwarding his plans, surveying the wealth of all the members. Michael refused to give up the amount of his wealth. With threats of higher taxes and the repossession of his mansion, Michael decided to refuse the taxing.

The disagreement was caused by Michael feeling like he had already contributed enough. Thom knew that to properly tax on a percentage only basis, he had to know everyones full wealth, as to not over tax. In the end Michael began gathering his possessions and left Nome. Lumo tried to problem solve by saying Michael only had to pay 20 gold a week and fund 10% of the future projects. Michael denied and left to start his own town called Ozimandias, a place with no taxes.

### Colonies

There were two colonies separate to the main town of Nome

###### Astoria

Much like Nome, Astoria was an anti-PVP colony in central America. This was claimed on the 10th of January 2021. It was named after an old server the majority of the Nomans at this time were a part of. Obscured in the jungle, really only the Nomans knew of its existance. It was previously built by unknown users and left unclaimed until found by davaiman. Nome intended to revamp it before the reset.

###### Shiganshina

A relatively new town, established January 9th 2021, was under the protection of Nome after threats of a raid by Realize730. The mayor of the town EvoMcH1000 aka Evo was offered protection by Lumo in exchange of the allegiance of the town. After some threats from MichaelChat, the town was jointly protected by Nome and Ozimandias.

### Politics

There were two main leaders of Nome, although in the earliest days it was a partner owned town by Voro and Gruia

###### Vorobyevite

Voro was the first to win a democratic based election for Nome, and began his leadership going strong. He assigned government roles to every citizen of Nome at the time, and he stayed out of conflict as much as he could. This played out very well for the town, as no enemies were made while in it's infant state, and thus, very easily, Nome managed to take its first steps without worry, and sustained itself very well before the reset. To this day, Nome still holds an oath to pacifism within it's borders.

###### Lemont3a\_

Lemont3a a.k.a Lumo was not democratically elected into Nome power, and only really stepped into leadership out of emergency. Without a doubt, Lumo was corrupt. In the past, she had withdrawn large sums of money from the Bank of Nome, and had blackmailed ex member MichaelChat04 a.k.a Michael into keeping quiet about each other's bad deeds to other towns and nations. Despite this, Nome was now stronger than ever with alliances spanning across the globe, and far greater riches than ever before.

Other figures of note include:

Vlad - Head of the Police

Thom - Treasurer

### Before the Reset

Staying low on the radar, they had plans to expand and create a nation. The Nome Drug Trade slowly became futile as there was a large lack of customers. A strip club was in the works aswell as a pyramid scheme and a museum.

At the time there were large plans to expand which ended up being futile as the server was reset and progress was halted for months on end.
