Febenia (March 8, 2023 - March 20, 2023)
Febenia was created by Shah Mohamed Reza, Luke Pogerston, and Pumice Fromus. It slowly grew, then after some power moves by Reza, Pogerston and Fromus were kicked out during the coup of March 20th. This also resulted in Luke Pogerston disowning Jake Pogerston, who sided with Reza.

First Novastonian Era (March 21, 2023 - May 16, 2023)
Immediately after the coup, Pumice Fromulis and Luke Pogerston moved to Atreiyen to decide their next steps. The very next morning they moved up north and founded Westport, only one day after the coup. It was born with a rivalry with Febenia. It was originally founded as an independent kingdom, then joined Novastonia on March 23, 2023 as a city. Westport set out on an expedition, finding and claiming Hillcrest (now market), and then did another one, discovering Nordia (formerly Potastonia). On March 23, many things opened, including the Hillcrest Market (now Old Westport Market), Far West Pub (now Three Brothers Pub), and Brutus' Wood Store. Later that month they discovered upper Hillcrest (now Lower Centria). It started growing rapidly in March. On March 26, the Westportian Militia was formed and the Westport-Atreiyen Friendship bridge was opened. On March 28, Pumice Fromulis became acting count for just under a month.

On April 4, the teleportation toll came into effect. Westport worked together with Novastonia, Febenia, and Atreiyen to build a nationwide highway system, which opened later that month. On April 6, Potastonian Squatters in the Nordia region were found, and a coalition of Novastonian and Westportian forces invaded Potastonia. They agreed to withdraw by April 13 at midnight Central Europe Time or else a full scale war would be declared. On the 10th, the building code went into effect, enforcing a Mediterranean theme. On the eleventh, Potastonia disbanded and Westport founded the province of Nordia. On the 23rd, Novastonia left Anglunia peacefully, and the nation renamed to Sapientiae. On April 26, SW staff reincorporated the upkeep tax, which forced Westport to unclaim the provinces of Nordia (formerly Potastonia), Pantano, and Quarryland, but the provinces of Nuevo Atreiyen and Sudia (now all Sudia) were absorbed into Westport. On April 27, Westport threw Sapientiae an independence party on Hillcrest Mountain.

On May 8, the Serronan Peacekeepers attacked & occupied Westport, holding two Westportians hostage and forcing them to get married. They also stole drinks from Three Brothers Pub. On May 9, The MontCentria project started, with a goal of destroying Mont Centria by June 1 to make more room for housing. In early may, Febenia sunk into the ocean, ending Crafted's dictatorship. On May 16, Gandalf disbanded Sapientiae. And sold it's Western lands to Barbossa and Zerkalo Trading Company. Greyhame's Market was given to Rodinnport, and Westport had the option to become independent or become a vassal of Rodinnport. Westport chose to join Rodinnport, ending the First Novastonian era and beginning the Rodinnian/Urakan Era.

Roddinnian/Uraka Era (May 16, 2023 - July 7, 2023)
On May 16, Westport became a Rodinnian vassal. On May 18, Westport set up a flag contest, which was very dramatic and caused a lot of fighting, but it's current flag was chosen on May 19. On May 29, Project MontCentria was finished two days ahead of schedule, opening over 90 plots. On May 31, The Swarm attacked Westport without reason, and later that night Tea_Brewtaker attacked. Arrows were flying over Westport for days.

On June 1, Luke Pogerston was demoted from Baron to Senator after banning fellow Senator, Anzug Staples without permission after Luke suspected that he was a part of the Swarm attack on Westport the night before. On June 1, Westport & Rodinnport started doing joint military training.

On the fourth, Westport announced that they will be holding a remembrance festival for Technoblade on June 30th. It was cancelled due to Eldham being down. On the 19th, Luke Pogerston, Justin Pogerston, Anzug Staples, Mark Staples, and Toast left Stoneworks to play on another server called Gears of War.

December 2023
In December, MarketStreet was completed, but Justin decided to make a new claim called Walmart to the north of Westport. They continued to work on the company through December. Around Christmas, Justin Pogerston was put into a coma by the Stoneworks Staff, which he recovered from, but the doctors only gave him one day to live, so he spent his final day, December 31, with his friends, Anzug, Filipino, and Luke.

January 2024
Justin Pogerston died on January 1st, 2024. Later that day, Luke, Anzug, and Filipino made a colony somewhere else. About two weeks later, their colony fell after a stray piece of the Ratham Meteor fell on to their new colony. They moved back to the Westport area and began preparing for the future. In this month, they also started preparing escape plans to leave Ratham before the meteor strike, which appears to be on track to hit Ratham on March 30th.

Maps/Geography
Westport is not in the best area, Downtown Westport was first found on March 21, 2023 after the first Westport Expedition. It was chosen since it is close to Atreiyen Manor (their top/only ally at the time). They started moving north in mid-march with a tunnel going thru Mount Hillcrest, and after that they established a market in the tunnel. Then, once the tunnel was done they built a road up to Nordia. Once Downtown Westport was full, they built houses in what is now Centria, and once that was full, they took down Mont Centria. They are bordered to the north and east by the Lycaen Sea, the world border to the west, and the Atreiyen River & Zerkalo Commonwealth to the south, making them similar to an island.

Note: These maps are outdated and I am fixing them.

Coup of March 20th
On March 20, 2023, Pumice Fromulis and Luke Pogerston were couped and removed from power from Febenia. Mohamed Reza continued Febenia and Pogerston and Fromulis took asylum in Atreiyen Manor. The very next day they went north and founded Westport on March 21.
