Tree Empire

The Tree Empire, also known as The Treepire is a powerful state in the Hub, often dubbed to be the most influential nation in all of the hub lore history. It currently controls almost all Trees within the Hub Islands.

1st Tree Empire
The first Tree Empire started off with 4 founders who proclaimed the first Tree empire. The 4 founders were Fennec112_1, Anstolis, Zodiac1992, and Valeania. In the first Empire, they ruled as a council with equal power, but over time Valeania took the lead as the clear sole Emperor. They founded the nation and made it a place of peace. Due to their immense power, barbarians and raiders would always try to take it over and claim to be the 'true' tree nation.

Tree Nationalist State
Over time, the empire grew unstable and its citizens were desperate for conflict, so 12 a group of 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 Valeania banned them all from the Treepire. Some time later Hypixel gathered all of his troops and raided the tree again. With only five people online, the Treepire was helpless and fell to the raiders.

After the fall of the first Treepire, it was a power struggle to find the empire's true successor. The raiders attempted to form a Tree Nationalist State, but it failed because of its immense instability. The state murdered every person in sight and attempted to conquer all of the hub, but with too many micro-secessions, the Tree State declared its surrender and full collapse.

2nd Tree Empire
The player by the name of OrangeKermit declared himself the sole emperor of a new Tree Empire. Soon after the formation of the new Treepire, they passed down their title to MinecraftMan_A. MinecraftMan feared the Empire wouldn't last, and stepped down to ensure he wasn't the last Emperor. What followed was a civil war between the two factions trying to take control over the Empire. The war eventually died down without much fighting. In the midst of all the fighting one of the original founders, Valeania, eventually took the throne back to himself and declared himself the Emperor, reuniting the nation and forming peace.

Red Tree Civil War
Following the reformation, a new tree sprung up within the hub, the Red Tree. The Tree gained its own leadership hierarchy and declared itself independent while the 2nd Tree Empire still continued to claim it was under their control. The new Red Tree Empire suddenly had an influx of new players join its ranks and with a vote from its council decided to attempt to conquer the 2nd Empire. Emperor Valeania saw the Red Tree's ability to unite the Empire under one government, and switched sides. Together they conquered the 2nd empire, and united the two into the new United Tree Empire under Emperor Valeania. Anthonanon (former leader of Red Tree) was then declared a war hero.

Poor communication led some Red Tree Citizens to believe the war hadn't ended, and they carried out continued raids on the Green Tree which was the new capital of the United Tree Empire. Unfortunately tensions grew so high that a new the war continued on with the former citizens of the 2nd Empire fighting for the nation once more. In the midst of the war, someone known as EpicBlob attempted a coup on the United Treepire, and it ended in a 1v1 where EpicBlob successfully overthrew Emperor Valeania. The government of the United Treepire didn't like the new rule of EpicBlob and overthrow him, replacing him with Emperor Valeania once more.

2nd Red Tree Civil War
On 12/4/2021, Red Tree Nationalists declared the Red Tree the new capital of the United Tree Empire without the command of Valeania. Valeania denounced the situation, but what followed was a complete takeover of the Tree government by the Red Tree Nationalists. The attempt to install the new Red Tree Imperium as the sole government of the Treepire broke out into a new Red Tree Civil war. A new Tree General Trev led the Tree armies with Valeania and together they managed to defeat the Red Tree Nationalists ending the civil war. Trev's war successes led Valeania to appoint him as the new Emperor of the United Tree Empire.

3rd Tree Empire (Great Tree Empire)
Many new players in hub lore began to discuss the formation of a new Tree Empire. They declared it, the Three Trees Union with their main goal to be conquer the United Tree Empire. Emperor Trev reached out to them, and his masterful diplomatic skills along with the lenience of the Tree Trees Union brought a new idea into light, a new united Treepire. Trev and Tiptoplopo (leader of the Three Trees Union) worked on the union, and soon Trev declared the formation of the Great Tree Empire (3rd Treepire) with the United Treepire and the Three Trees Union as a new united people. It was decided that Trev would become the Emperor of the new union, and he preformed many new government reforms and carried out raids on small nations that threatened the empire.

About a week into the union, Trev and Tiptoplopo agreed that they would elect a new Emperor, chosen by the people to better represent the people. A new leader, Noodles, won the elections and soon he met the fury of the Treepire's largest threat yet.

The Blue Tree Rebellion & The Goon Invasion
A man by the name of StableGenius gained popularity within the Blue Tree, and soon declared independence. Soon he realized that the Tree wouldn't be easily pushed over, and called in the help from a friend, ErrorL. ErrorL gathered the Goons, a mercenary group from Eldham, and demanded the surrender of the Tree. Trev wrote up a treaty of peace between the Treepire and the Blue Tree, allowing for their independence in which Emperor Noodles and StableGenius signed. The treaties influence was weak however, and the Tree aided the Beacon Union in carrying out raids against the Blue Tree Kingdom. ErrorL returned and again demanded the surrender of the Treepire. At this point, the odds for the Treepire were very low, and in lots of pressure Emperor Noodles Resigned handing the throne back to Trev.

Trev quickly turned around the spirits in the Tree by making many announcements announcing recent victories and the state of the Tree. With help from the Beacon Union, the Tree began to put lots of pressure onto ErrorL and the Blue Tree. Finally, The Treepire and Blue Tree agreed on a date for the war. Both sides fought hard, and against the Goons the Tree lost the battle. Trev rallied up the Treeple again and raided Blue Tree many more times proving that the Tree Empire would never surrender to foreign invaders.

After Propoganda and lots of swift geopolitical moves, Trev pushed the Blue Tree to join the Empire and the goons were pushed out from the superior force.

Collapse of the Great Tree Empire
Following the end of the Goon Invasion and Blue True Rebellion, it was announced that Emperor Trev was murdered at the bottom of Green Tree. The Empire was divided into 3 different states as per the late Emperor's will and thus began the great Tree identity crises where many different nations battled to reunite the Tree. Former Emperor Valeania returned and attempted to reform the Treepire, but the Empire quickly grew inactive and collapsed on itself before it gained any ground. After all the fighting, Trev returned and revealed that his death was faked and he used it as a ploy to convict the Beacon leader, Fennec, of a false crime so that the Treepire could invade the Beacon Union.

Formation of the Tree Kingdom
After a long period of inactivity, hub lore was at an all time low. There was no more Tree and no more beacon. One day though, a tree sprung up within the PVP arena and Trev returned to reform the Tree Nation as the new Tree Kingdom. An election was held, and by a landslide Trev won. The Tree Kingdom was reborn. After the reformation of the Beacon Union, King Trev conditioned the surrender of the Beacon Union to the new Tree Kingdom and the Beacon was fully annexed into the Kingdom as the new Beacon Duchy.

4th Tree Empire
Trev resigned as King appointed StableGenius as the new Tree King to usher in a new era for the tree, leaving Trev as the Chancellor or second-in-command of the Kingdom. Later the same day, Chancellor Trev proclaimed the reorganization of the Tree Kingdom into the 4th Tree Empire following the rise of new fresh hub islands. [Present-Day]
