Vistantium

Foundation
May 29 2023

The first era of Vistantium was fairly uneventful. The capital city of Vistantinople was settled by Alexander Claudius Vistantine. The country was founded on May 29 2023. The early country expanded quickly, becoming one of the largest countries in its immediate vicinity.

May 30 2023The kingdom of Vistantium annexed the pirate isle of Harbenia. This happened after the stepping down of General Imi and the uncovering of the golden throne by Bop0p at 6pm BST. The isle was then ceded to Vistantium while being given self-autonomy.

The Kingdom of Vistantium and Lucre signed a Mutual Defense Pact for the duration of the 3 months of the server. The two nations also promised to help each others economies.

Due to an influx in players the Kingdom of Vistantium expanded it's borders to the neighbouring peninsulas and islands.

June 1 2023

A diplomatic incident occurred when the visting Ethansalt1, king of Emphrosia; was killed in Vistantinople triggering a meeting of the "Founding Fathers" of Emphrosia and the Imperator of Vistantium. The initial demands from Ethan were 20k paid by both attackers. Ethan relented when he found out that he had not lost his stuff and the attackers remained unconfirmed. After some deliberation the threat of war was called off with the help of Tanwen and Caboosifer.

The Market of Vistantinople also began construction

June 2

The country experienced a revolutionary technological breakthrough with the invention of the world’s first gender changer a large leap ahead of the rest of the world. RedNyte (Publius Quintillius Rosseus) would also map the local area and would eventually be given a Senatorial Rank by Bop0p.

On June 2 2023 there was a devastating attack from rogue players where citizens were repeatedly attacked and killed and the main city was paralysed for a long time. In response the Imperator bop0p announced the formation of the Military of Vistantium in order to prevent further attacks. The spawn point was also gated to prevent unallowed players from exiting.

Netherite Hoard
On June 3 2023 Imperator Bop0p noticing the skyrocketing price of Netherite ordered his citizens to hoard Netherite in order to sell off at a higher price. The success of this policy is yet to be determined but Bop0p himself acquired 3 Ingots and some scraps. Bop0p also organised a nether expedition to mine some ancient debris but the mission went south when they found out beds couldn’t be placed, and that the majority of the nether had already been mined out and explored. Fast running lava claimed the lives of 2 of the expeditionaries which caused a lot of frustration and led to the cancellation of the plan.

The main buildings were constructed by Bop0p in order to find a quick solution to housing the many new citizens. But as the city expanded, player RedNyte decided to build his own house to perfectly occupy a chunk of the city. The house was noticed for being built in a radically different style to the rest of the City with Sandstone bricks and Acacia flooring and roofing in contrast to the Grey stone and brick roofing of the rest of the city.
