History

Town creation

Pinlias and redchemist3 first met on the morning of July 15, and decided to build a base together. They walked a long part of the coastal part of Africa, until they found, in the region of Somali Republic, a broken,unclaimed fort, with nothing but griefed terrain in the surroundings. They quickly began the mission to rebuild it and started there the base.

Then, they started to expand the town through the beach, as well as recruiting new citizens and helping newcomers.Despite the efforts of making a peaceful experience in the server, Pinlias was robbed several times, which one of those being the theft of his entire ore chests, including 600+ irons and 200+ diamonds.Nevertheless, They didn't abandoned the task of keeping peaceful and expanding the town.

Post-establishment

Once they were established, with an active base, productive farms and a good number of citizens, they started their political connections. With the plot claim, some invitations to countries appeared. byggarebob002, one of the most important players outside of the town for its history and help, was the main link between New Republic of Somalia and the United States, and they quickly became a part of the nation. Chunnington123, one of the nation leaders, helped too with some political interactions and conflicts, as long as bringing new players to the town. With the new recruitment, some of notable people joined, for example greekthor, that mainly built some fun structures around all the isle, as well as a curious home, with a lot of special rooms, BabyBalrogGIRL, one of the most important builders and citizens at town, building important structures and decorations, and HypnoticFire, a redstone engineer that made a lot of improvements in the base structure and redstone mechanisms and fought the conflicts with "dragon_sauce" town when Pinlias got robbed by them, making him deputy mayor and one of the important players of the town.

Conflicts, struggles and civil wars

Despite being mainly a peaceful town, NRS is currently located at DatEarth, who is known by a geopolitical and war-based server. Because of this, a lot of conflicts between Somalians and other towns, nations or players happened. This section tries to maintain and keep the general ones and its consequences.

Dragon_Sauce conflict

In July 19 of 2020, Pinlias was minering through the surroundings of American continent when he was suddenly attacked by Sprucedog22, a member of dragon_sauce town, that was a part of United States.. The player killed him, claiming that Pinlias was using X-ray or some type of mod to mine illegally. Although this has never been proven even after the report and the knowledge of the moderators, dragon_sauce refused to give Pinlias stuff back. Because of this,Chunnington123 quickly removed dragon_sauce from USA and Pinlias and HypnoticFire planned an attack starting from Xandrix and went to dragon_sauce by helicopter. There, they fighted both alone against the whole town and often dominated the territory. Unfortunately, dragon_sauce was listed as a peaceful town and cant be sieged. SilentStorm, leader of Ankara town, offered help and soldiers to maintain the dragon_sauce territory controlled,and then the alliance between NRS and Ankara stayed for about 40 minutes destroying what they could from dragon_sauce. Dragon_sauce is currently destroyed and inactive and Pinlias never had his stolen things back.

DiamondKnightLC

DiamondKnightLC was a player who offered Pinlias help to plain the territory at the beginning of the town. Pinlias invited him to town and after some work he went off. The next day, Pinlias logged in and realized that the secrets chests, containing missions, valuable resources such as gunpowder and slime, as well as more than 200 diamonds and 600 irons, was completely gone. DiamondKnight, the only resident besides Pinlias and redchemist3, was accused of being the traitor, being kicked of the town. This incident early in the city beginning made the task of collecting resources and expanding the territory even more difficult to the town creators.

Rules and interactions within the town

Town Rules ( detailed from the simplified in-game rules on the main board):

1. Griefing and destroying is prohibited. The ones who grief and rob our resources will be added in a ban list and hunted by all of our citizens and allies until they quit the server. They will also be considered outlaws by NRS and can be put in jail and never leave from it.
2. Always ask before taking resources from the chests, be reasonable and consider refilling our supplies and blocks when possible.
3. Residents may have up to 3 plots each. The first one is given for free by the town, and the other ones cost $280/plot.
4. Please, if it isn't a decoration build or something that benefits all the citizens, consider building only in your plot limitations. Abuses of this rule may result in your plot being confiscated.
5. One week without logging puts you in an "inactive" condition on the town. Inactive players may have their plots sold and be disbanded of the town starting at 3 days after its inactive status declared. Note that this rule is heavily open to interpretations and the citizen status, rank and contributions to the town affect directly on how much time he will keep his plot and his citizen status in town guaranteed.

One of the town differentials was also the way they treated new residents. Newcomers were never charged with fees, in addition to receiving help with server commands, free plots that were purchased by the city, and all the resources, food and blocks needed for construction and survival in the game. The city became known as one of the main hubs for newbies, and some of the newbies that United States players met were taken there. Gifts are given to new players, such as golden apples, ender pearls and supply crates, signs containing kind messages and chests with goodies traded between citizens were a very familiar thing, and events and excursions were often made in order to keep everyone united as a family.
