## History

### Founding and Golden Age of Apesia

The founding of Centralis Apes came to fruition under the rule of @AlphaSpade, or as they were more commonly referred to as "Piggie." Before the arrival of the new leader, Piggie had been mostly involved with modded survival, and therefore wanted a break from that playstyle.

The creation of the nation prompted the construction of the massive and majestic parliamentary dome of Centralis Apes. Built out of sandstone, the structure serves as the centerpiece of the capital, and is one of the biggest standing structures on the ScratchCiv server.

Apesia was also one of the first civilizations to obtain greater population, as @Speedy663 joined the Apesians as their second citizen (Speedy later migrated to Creata after fighting valiantly in the Apesian-Icitian War).

After the construction of the parliamentary dome, the leader set Apesian claims and divided the lands into districts, much like districts found in Hermitcraft. In addition, an ABZA embassy has been constructed in the capital.

On May 1st, 2020, Arcantica declared a formal war on Apesia, though it was not meant to be a serious war in the first place. In fact, Apesia had made the first move agains the Icitians, damaging the then-outpost of Iceity using TNT. A cease fire has been issued, and though a peace treaty has been proposed by the perpetrators, it is uncertain when the treaty will be signed.

On May 10th, 2020, Piggie retired from being the leader of Apesia and @simy8 and @Speedy663 became the leaders of Apesia. Piggie will be remembered as the one who drove the hardworking Apesians to a glorious age.

### WWI Impact & the Decline of Ancient Apesia

Prior to WWI, the second leader of Apesia, Speedy663, had claimed the house of the first leader AlphaSpade, which was at the time completely encircled in bamboo due to grief from the Apesian-Icitian War. After the mass declarations of war from Arcantica, Silvasan oligarch @comp\_master2008 (better known as CoolAyyd) had pleaded asylum from the then possessed @JayceTV. Seeking revenge from previous conflict, Speedy and CoolAyyd had lured the Icitian leader to Centralis Apes, where they then promptly suffocated him after he logged out.

The idea of a new nation had fathomed upon the mind of Speedy, and henceforth both Speedy and CoolAyyd left their respective nations to form the country of Unity. Not much was done otherwise under the leadership of Speedy, and thus the grief that ravaged the capital remained untouched.

Former Apesian leader Alphaspade, mistaken that CoolAyyd killed some people, went to iceity, killed JayceTV, and stole his stuff. He then fled home, but had a similar fate to CoolAyyd.

@Berricake put herself as the 3rd leader of Apesia due to

a project she made on her test account.

On July 4th, Apesia was purchased by the Estrezian Empire from AlphaSpade.
