undefinedNickMcNicholson is a player and the leader of Newfoundland.

History
Nick joined the server on accident at first believing it to be a different server and quit for 17 days. It wasn't until Earthpol was shut down that Nick fled to Earthcraft as a refugee. During his time on Earthpol he became a respected member of the Hawaiian community and rose to become mayor of the island of Maui. Once the server shut down and he fled to Earthcraft, he decided that he would not settle with rising the ranks again and decided that he would create his own town.

Beginning of Newfoundland
On the day he returned to Earthcraft, June 16th, 2021, he and his friend and fellow Hawaiian, 0_d00dles_0 created the town Newfoundland City. While Nick was excited to start new, it wasn't long before his challenges appeared. Getting gold was the main issue but the mobs had it out for both him and Doodles and at one point, Nick had thought about quitting but through words of encouragement from Doodles, Nick stayed. Together they gathered enough resources to weather the storm that is creating a new town.

Building a Community Presence
Nick is not a PvP player, it was a sentiment that was from Hawaii and carried over to Newfoundland. It was something that he believed Newfoundland should be - a peaceful nation. For this to work, he had to make himself and the nation known around the server. Through careful talks with the server's biggest nations, Nick was able to create alliances with them and let them know that they are a neutral nation and will not fight in wars. This allowed Nick to focus on building up Newfoundland City to become one of the biggest and tight knit nations on the server.

Time After his Leadership Ended
After the September Revolution, the first national election occurred in which Nick lost, receiving only one vote (he did not even vote for himself). This was a relief for him as he had grown tired of dealing with the global politics. As of October 9th, 2021, Nick spends most of his time working on his town and reading the global chat. While he is not as active as he once was, he still makes it a point to join the server whenever he can.

Nick decided to leave the server on December 12, 2021 to pursue other hobbies, but left the server feeling like he had built a community of friends from the firepits.
