Russia

Russia Founded by Octocube360 and PinkLasagna. Russia was undoubtedly the most successful and one of the longest living nation on Earthcraft.

The beginning of everything: Everything begun when the players octocube360 and PinkLasagna in February 2nd 2021 decided to settle in Russia. Together, in february 7th they founded the town of Izhevsk, which would eventually become the capital of the Russian Empire. The early days of Izhevsk were peaceful, and the city gradually grew in population and size, but soon octocube360 and PinkLasagna would learn that peace isn't always an option in earthcraft.

octocube360, in order to try to find allies and understand the confusing world he lived in, went on a diplomatic mission travelling to many cities around the world. In this journey he visited the city of Cyprus, and met the player Elf9. Cyprus was part of The Sultanate, a big federation of nations, it was agreed that once Izhevsk turned into it's own nation an alliance would be forged. In his journey he also visited the town of Rome, capital of the mighty Impero Romano ruled by Lafa, BomberAdriano, and PdorKey. In his stay, octocube learned about a terrible nation called "sexday 2" a aggressive nation that subjugated and destroyed the cities and nations that didn't want to join them. Knowing that this nation had a city near Izhevsk, scared of being invaded, octocube agreed to join the coalition against sexday lead by Rome. The day he returned to Izhevsk, he received the news that The Sultanate had been completely destroyed and conquered by sexday. After that, PinkLasagna and octocube created the nation called "Udmurtian Kingdom", the predecessor of Russia. 2.   Sexday2

First Sexday War (WW1) Izhevsk and the world were horrified with the destruction of The Sultanate, Hol, the leader of Sexday 2 was the most feared player in the server, no one dared to oppose and fight them, and one by one nations started to surrender and join their corrupt empire. The exception was the Roman Empire and its coalition of nations, composed by Rome, Germany, Buryatia (auldgreg's old nation), the USA and The Udmurtian Kingdom. Everyone new that Rome would be the next victim of sexday, so every preparation was made to defend the city from it's colossal invasor. The day finally came, all the members of the coalition united in Rome to fight the massive army from sexday.

It was a bloodbath, there were at least 15 players in each side, in the beginning, the defenders had the advantage, protected by the massive walls surrounding Rome, every sexday member that approached was overrun with arrows and potions. But then, seeing its inicial success, the coalition forces decided to leave the city and attack the enemy troops stationed outside, which proved to be a complete disaster. The enemy players were much better at pvp, and without the protection of the walls, the coalition forces were completely slaughtered. In one particular case, a force with at least 1/3 of the coalition army followed a group of sexday players that seemed to be weakened far away from the city, outstretching its supply lines, just to be attacked by troops from behind. The coalition was devastated, the enemies breached the walls and entered the city, all hope seemed to be lost, and sexday was bound to conquer the world after its only opposition was defeated. But what seemed to be a miracle happened, Hol, and other sexday players were banned from the server after many dramas, and without his strong leadership, the evil empire collapsed, and the world was free from oppression and massacres for a long while.

The rise of the Russian Empire After the end of the war, Izhevsk could finally live in peace and focus on its own development and growth of its nation. In this period of time, Izhevsk experienced a big population boom, more than doubling its population, It was also a period of great territorial expansion, where the Udmurtian borders expanded trough Siberia, central russia, and Karelia. After seeing the abandonment of Moscow, previously inhabited by a mysterious lost civilization, Izhevsk sent one of its citizens to settle and claim Moscow, thus making the Udmurtian Kingdom the rightful owners of Russia, and the name of Russian Empire. The Russian Empire grew even faster than the Udmurtian Kingdom, expanding its territory, and its population growing even more with the population boom in Kuvia (an ancient city in Karelia that doesn't exists anymore). The nation also experienced a big economic boom with the expansion of the enchanted books industry in Izhevsk and Kuvia, selling them to cities all around the world, octocube having profited 1k gold in only one day just with book sales.

The imperialist age This was the most aggressive and expansionist period in Russian History. With imperialism in all times high in Europe, with the aggressive Roman expansion into de Mediterranean, and the unification and growth of the German Empire, Russia wasn't going to be left behind, thus begun the aggressive expansion into Russian territory, where Russia claimed and invaded many cities in the region that didn't want to join them. In this era there was also the creation of the Slavic Union, which was an alliance between Russia Serbia and Slovenia, and most importantly, the beginning of the franco-russian historic alliance. It all begun in a trade negotiation between Collin and octocube360, where an alliance was proposed, from this day on, France an Russia remained loyal allies, always helping each other, except for the short period when France joined sexday 2 in WW2. Shortly after the creation of this alliance, France and Russia were attacked by Iceland and Poland Lithuania, thus beginning the Russo-Polish Lithuanian war, where Poland wished to wipe Russia off the map. It was a horrible war, although Russia greatly outnumbered Poland, the polish players were much better at pvp, and defeated the Russian armies, starting a siege in the capital, Izhevsk. After the Russian armies were defeated, peace negotiations begun, and due to German pressure, both Poland, Russia and France agreed to join the first European Union, and retrieve all lost equipment captured during the war.
