Shark

The Beginning of Shark
Before gaining consciousness, Shark was just a simple Great White Shark swimming in the Sorligste Seas. Whilst endlessly swimming Shark had come across a man wearing a suit floating through the water, struggling to stay above the water. He was mistaken for a seal and eaten by Shark, and he went on swimming. Within the hour Shark had thrown up the eaten man, except the bones of the man weren't there just the suit, In seconds the suit had wrapped itself around Shark, putting itself on him. Turning Shark into a man, and bringing him to consciousness.

Shark had washed up in Southern Sorligste, wandering into a nearby birch forest. He was confused, and unsure of what had happened. But he had an itching feeling to cut down a tree and make a house, and so he did. Eventually Shark met other people, people who had decided to live with him. His brain was still evolving, he begun to understand what this was becoming, it was becoming a town, Thus claiming this land as Atopolis.

The Enlightenment Of Shark
As Atopolis grew, and Shark made new friends, he had become aware that he had begun his town within the land of Pirates, and with his Shark brain still developing, decided to rebel against the pirate state. Plans had begun to be lain, allies were made and members were convinced that the pirates must go. Until the "Great Error". In Sharks attempt to use a political situation to his advantage (and some bad intel from a spy) Shark was betrayed by Yimmu-Audaul and turned into the Pirate Empire of Tortuga, who had, until now not known of his town. TheSexyCanadian had arrived to the town, and told Shark of his situation, Join or Die, Begrudgingly Shark Agreed and joined the pirates.

2 Days after Atopolis had joined Tortuga, Shark was approached by a player named Mat, who offered a part in larger rebellion called "The Red Turban Rebellion". Shark jumped at this offer, still under estimating Tortugas power and over estimating the rebellions strength. The rebellion was betrayed by a Rebel named Adilol.

Shark had finally understood the situation and using the help of MakkisPekkis and Zach Maloney, Mended relationships with TheSexyCanadian. Shark was invited to the new rebellion, Shark turned over all information of the Rebellions ongoings to TheSexyCanadian. During the Coalition war, Shark had convinced the Rebellion to move out of Tortuga and into Bardonia,

Sharks Rise to Power
For his actions with the Rebellion Shark was given his own Region to Captain over, And thus the Region of Ato was founded. The region of Ato grew fast. Shark sending many to construct towns birthing the towns of Athiel and Mesrea, who would some become large players within the Region of Ato. Windcliff by this point had carved itself a portion of land in the north on the coast of Sorligste, and while disconnected from the mainland of the Region, the connection between the towns had never been stronger. Working together these towns had grown themselves to be some of the largest existing towns in Sorligste. Ato also had plenty of small towns around that assisted with this growth.

While the other towns grew in size and population, Shark began work on Atopolis, constructing housing, government buildings, roads and much more. With the population of all the towns rising, support raised for Shark being in charge, while others would like others in charge, Nobody had really wanted to contest Shark for a leadership position. The government was working, but just barely.

Footnote: During this period Atopolis had a mock war with its neighbor to the north Norvos. Shark had devised a simple pincer attack to take the city, and succeeded going on to lead Atopolis and it's citizens to a 4-0 win in the mock war.

Sharks Brief Mission to Kill the Lorax
Bored, and sitting around Atopolis not wanting to do more work to the town, Shark had decided to cut down every tree in Ato. On the first day, he had cut down around 300 trees, all outside the front gate of Atopolis. Posting his new to the worldwide boards to share his new mission of the death of the Lorax. Waking the next morning to find people have begun to denounce him for his mission! Shark had begun to get wrapped in himself. "'How bad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally. How bad can I be? I'm just following my destiny. How bad can I possibly be?'""-Shark had thought to himself, worried."He had then come to the conclusion he was not in the wrong, It's just a few trees. On Day two Shark had awoken to a new forest, planted by his enemies in this mission, it was cut down with ease, Shark was getting good at this. By day 3, his mission was complete and was spent tallying his total

41,114 Logs Cut, 6,051 Trees

The Birth of a Nation
On September 9th, 2021, TheSexyCanadian had contacted Shark, going into the conversation Shark was unsure what it was about. Until the first question was asked."'What would you value your land at?'"It was then Shark knew what was coming, An offer at independence, his chance to carve out a piece of history in this world of super powers. Shark had responded with $5,000,000 He knew the worth of this land, and it's value. He had decided no matter the price given he would meet it. eventually the price of $800,000. For now this was to be kept secret for TheSexyCanadian didn't want this new leaking to early. Only having 500k to his name at the time, Shark began looking for investors, and he found them. Antonag, BigPapaGrim, Hippo and Zeus. Together they pledged the extra 300k Shark needed.

And then on September 17th, 2021, The deal was set to go through, $800,000 paid in Gold Blocks. Just like that Ato was now independent, and so forth was the Republic of Ato birthed. Snap elections were called, with the town leaders and key political figures running for Consulship. The race has yet to end.

The Race ended Shortly after, With Shark Greatwhite and MakkisPekkis winning Consulship,

Stagnation in Ato

Despite Shark and Makkis's many tries, Ato was on a downfall, census numbers slowly dropped, Election attendance was at an all time low. Bills were put forward to try to spark and upswing, A reconstruction of Atopolis was organized and announced. But even that did not work. This lasted for most of the month of October.

The Scariest thing to happen on Halloween

Shark Greatwhite woke to news of coup and rebellion to his neighbour in the north. Severos was taken over by Elzaress and Ookami, An Empress and Emperor. Whilst the Empress wanted to see her nation grow and prosper, Her Husband only saw red. Anger at Ato for just exisiting. News was leaked to Shark about the now Empire of Leveros's plans to invade most of Sorligste, and beg Tortuga for the rest. And Thus plans were put into to place

The Birth of the Grand Sorligste Federation

On November 1st, The 3 members that will soon to create the Grand Sorligste Federation were gathered, Shark, Jayant and Starlorde. Much work was to be done, but it was a start.

In Secret, we had begun talking to the citizens of the now Empire, only to find major unrest, even going as far as people leaving there homes to escape the Empire.

November 2nd, Much work was done and there was still more left, many more have joined the group, even at this point having half the empire to agree to secession into the Grand Sorligste Federation. The Governmental System we see today was also constructed. Justification for war and an Ultimatum to be delivered was organized and made as well.

November 3rd, This was the day the GSF made itself known. At the call of the Empress stepping down. Secession was called and the Grand Sorligste Federation was officially created and announced. We gave Ookami a peaceful way out and proof his own nation didnt want him and his loyalists. He refused in a pure state of anger and declared war on the GSF.

There was soon a standoff in Port Leon. Nobody wanted to fight first, Ookami and his Loyalists had the GSF out geared, with 6 full netherite soldiers standing in front of a group of diamond and iron. A few GSF Soldiers had died, with no casualties to the Loyalists. About an hour later they surrendered the final region that remain loyal to them."'fuck it, take the region, we don't want the headache' -O_Beep, Council Member of The Empire of Leveros"And just like that the Grand Sorligste Federation was born, Elections have been called for a Head of State and it's Shoulders.
