Port Solanaria

Port Solanaria is a town in the Republic of Bardonia, it was founded sometime in early April. The town is the home base and founding place of the religion of Tuberism.

The first mayor was Apps, when he died Lnedible became the mayor. After the great theft of Solanum Lnedible resigned and Maximus Ida (zzb_news) became mayor of an abandoned town. After the rebuilding the town for 2 months, Tntore1234 (bitchboy) became the new mayor of Port Solanaria. Following Tntore1234, Zion Lelya Earcala (zzb_news) took power to restore the calm from lnedible's reign of terror. The next mayor would be decided as Apps after an election. The town is in Rathnir.

History
The name Port Solanaria has changed 3 times. The town was actually first called Idaho, this was because of the potatoes in the town. After the city started becoming more important in Bardonia the town was renamed to Port Solanaria. When zzb_news took charge in late May he renamed the city to Idaho once again. Only in late July did the gods(admins) notice the heretical name and ordered zzb to rename the town to Port Solanaria once again.

Conflicts
Port Solanaria has only really been involved in 3 conflicts, the first is the Ferrymen war, the second was the Bardonian socialist revolt and the most recent was the Allium-coalition war.

Battle of Bardonian Fort Lee
The first major conflict that Port Solanaria experienced was the Ferrymen war, zzb was part of the 6 soldiers who defended New Dorasterrock against 5 pvp specialists known as the Ferrymen, they recently raided the city and were at the gates. Suddenly the Ferrymen withdrew and the Bardonian army charged, the main fighting took place next to the ruins of Bardonian Fort Lee. This was how the Ferrymen made themselves known to the world.

Bardonian socialist revolution
The only fighting that took place in this revolt relating to Port Solanaria was an raid on the city, an Bardonian official was touring the city when a rebel soldier killed him. When the revolt started dying Port Solanaria quickly withdrew from the fighting.

Battle of New Dorasterrock
Only 1 citizen was planning on fighting in the battle, but sadly the swamp overflooded and prevented him from travelling to New Dorasterrock(he got kicked from the server). Although no citizen fought at the battle many farmers sent large amounts of supplies to the city such as potatoes and weapons. One farmer even sent an entire chest full of Baked potatoes to the front lines. But the battle was still lost by the Bardonian soldiers.

The great theft of Solanum
The great theft of Solanum was a massive heist leaving Port Solanaria destroyed. The theft saw thousands of blocks and items being destroyed or stolen from the main town hall storage area. The theft occurred during Lnedible's term as mayor. The theft was also paired with heavy griefing upon many houses and buildings. This caused zzb to contact the gods (admins) in an attempt to fix the damage, but the destruction was too heavy and the town was unable to be fixed. This theft caused the entire city to abandon the city and leave, only zzb_news remained to keep what remained afloat.

Solanum revamp
The Solanum revamp was a period of time during zzb's term as mayor of Port Solanaria, the Solanum revamp was a 3 part plan which would end with Port Solanaria returning to the golden days. The first part would be to purge the town of untrusted citizens who were suspected of commiting the theft. The second part would be to completely destroy and rebuild the town to beautify it. And the final part would be an massive recruitment effort in order to get more people to join the town. The Solanum revamp took around 3 weeks to complete, by the end of the operation the town had around 5-10 citizens and the city was looking beautiful thanks to Hipps.

Rioting and Return
The 18th of September was the peak of the riots and famine in Port Solanaria. As the town's main source of food and income dried up before the eyes of the inhabitants, riots began running wild through the main square and church. Lnedible would lead the rioters around the town, slaughtering people left and right in retribution towards the non-tuberites. Many of them would try and flee, some managing to escape by boat while others were trapped in by the closing gate and executed. Those that did escape were sought after to be killed. Others were beheaded in the Tuberist Church, and the riots and hunting would continue until the 22nd of September when the adopted daughter of the 3rd Mayor, Zion, would return seeking to settle the madness. On the 26th of September Lnedible and Zion would fight in a duel, with Zion winning. Zion would then claim to be Mayor of the town because the current mayor, Tntore1234, had fled temporarily during the chaos (was inactive).

Re-election
With the return of Tntore1234 soon after Zion's claim to being Mayor, tension would rise as to who truly deserved the role. Eventually it would be decided that the Mayor would be chosen through election. Zion emphasised his key roles and successes previously for the town and his in depth plans for the future, while Tntore1234 would describe his alternate plans and explain his proposed Monarchic remodelling of the Mayoral system. During all this however the first Mayor, [apps], would join the election as a candidate and pledge what he planned to do. Then, after Tntore1234 and Apps joined together as one under Apps, summing up their votes, Apps would become the new mayor of Port Solanaria and be anointed on 13th of October.
