Tree Empire

The great tree nation (first republic)

First republic

Customs
Sometime during the Tree Empire's reign, it was decided that to differentiate tree empire citizens from others, they were to wear "the tree's golden fruit" (golden apples) on their heads. However, Klacck's faction did not do this, preferring to wear helmets due to it's extra protection, and many Tree Empire citizens don't wear one to this day.

History
The first tree republic had 17 players. It started off with 4 colonizers who claimed the tree as The great tree empire (the first republic). The 4 founders were Fennec112_1, Anstolis, Zodiac1992, and Kaiser Valoria. At the time they were the 4 leaders of the Tree empire. They founded the nation and made it a place of peace. Because of there power, barbarians and raiders would always try to take it over and claim to be the tree nation for power.

Over time, players weren't happy with peace. So 12 people devised a plan to stop the peace. The 12 people lead by Hypixel, went onto the ground and murdered every barbarian, mercenary, and raider they could find. They killed every person insight for no apparent reason. With all of this chaos going on the founders banned them all from the empire making sure they would never return. Some time later Hypixel gathered all of his troops and raided the tree. It only had 5 people, The founders and a loyal soldier. The 12 people took over the tree, saying this "if you do not handover your loyalty to us we shall destroy you and everything you love." The founders couldn't bide with this and left the tree empire because of its corruption.

The loyal soldier was killed off, and the Grand Tree nationalist was set in place. They were all powerful with a belief that they were the only ones who could live on. They murdered every person in sight. They betrayed and took over every group they allied with and could find. They created what was known as the dark era in the pvp hub. There was nobody there to stop them unless they hid from the trees rule.

Also at some point OrangeKermit was the emperor. However, they passed down their title to MinecraftMan_A. MinecraftMan_A feared that they were running out of time, and in OrangKermit's absence people tried to claim the title of emperor for themselves. Eventually two people rose to power. I forgot both of their names, but we'll call them Klacck and Barub. Eventually, MinecraftMan_A selected Barub as the next heir, as Klacck didn't follow the Tree Empire's traditions. However, it was too late, as Klacck's supporters had already taken over the tree, and Barub's supporters, including MinecraftMan_A, were forced to take refuge on the beacon. What followed was a civil war between the two factions. The war eventually died down, but to this day, many citizens still choose not to wear the tree's golden fruit.

Later, a new great tree was created, and with it, the tree empire was split into the red and blue tree empire. Both sides fought for control over the other, while some, such as Anthonanon, just wanted to reunite the tree empire. Eventually, the red tree empire, with the aid of tree uniters, conquered the blue tree empire, and united the two. Anthonanon was then declared a war hero. However, some members of the red tree still shot at the blue tree, not realizing that they were united. Unfortunately, civil war was inevitable, and the trees broke out into a cycle of war and unification.

It is unknown how this happened, but sometime after, the red tree's leaves and bark were turned crimson. The blue tree remained the same. Due to this, the blue tree is often referred to as the green tree.

On 11/18/2021 cyphered1786, hailing from the red tree, with NoContextGiven on their side, took control of the blue/green tree, uniting the empire once more. They then dubbed the green tree, "Arboria". ThyHolyBro then became the "king" of the red tree, but chypered1786 was still the emperor of the tree empire as a whole. Later, with no opposition, the rest of the surface trees on the pvp hub were claimed by the tree empire. However, this would only start to be enforced the following day. Unfortunately, the nation was still highly unstable, and it would continue to be the following day.

On 11/19/2021, Valeania was able to reunite the trees, was declared emperor, and even conquered the underground. However, the citizens of the underground weren't exactly happy with this, and there were loads of pro-independence rebels. The idea of a council of emperors was brought up after this, where each of the "kings" of each tree would be equal, since no one could decide on a single emperor. This idea would linger for a while after. Things got worse as rebels from the red tree successfully recaptured their tree from the tree empire. Valeania rallied the armies of the tree empire to fight the red tree, but it was futile, and the tree empire fell.
