Bountwerk

the town of Bountwerk is an independent city-state in the south-eastern hemisphere. it is the sole member of the nation of "the nationless."

the peaceful nation much prefers art and beauty to material wealth. due to this reason it inhabitants spend far to much time building and not enough time mining. they are poor as hell.

the nation holds a strange relationship with animals. in its beginnings the town made a name for itself by delivering a ceremonial gift cow to a UN meeting at Apollonia as well as to the coronation of Emperor Blue Marble of Yimmu-Audal. the castle of Bountwerk is also overrun with horses. despite being a country in the middle of the central continent, Bountwerk's banner has the image of a pink squid upon it. Citizens of Bountwerk have explained that they are simply a landlocked seafaring nation and once the oceans rise their squid banners will make sense.

as of 9/9/2020 Bountwerk has begun its First poetry contest, putting up a netherite ingot and 5 diamonds as 1st place prize and 5 diamonds as 2nd place prize
