On top of the Town Hall mains spire flies the head of our most esteemed Citizen, Thanut (mink123) whose head reminds us everyday the values of Thanutabad (urine, fecal matter, reproductive fluids, tears and blood). That's Thanuts.

Notably, the Alchemist contains the thinking room, where the great ideals and ethics of Thanutabad are pondered upon, many of Thanutabad's greatest mind's have sat here. On top of the spire of the alchemist lies the head of the Traitor, Sadiruku as a constant reminder not to trifle with Nutizens.

The Nut n' bush inn
The Nut n' bush inn is the recreational centre of Thanutabad. It serves the multirole function of being the town's only restaurant, bar, hotel, kitchen, distillery and cheese manufacturer. It also houses the relocated sleeping chamber after the crafting table house was removed.

The Turtle Sanctuary
This location contains the only turtles found within Curio and is considered one of Thanutabad's most culturally valuable locations. Due to an excess of turtle eggs, this locations is planned to be expanded.

The Barnhouse
Thanutabad's Barnhouse contains the entire town's food stocks and farm animals. It is located adjacent to the town's various farms.

The Grand Library of Thanutabad
Thanutabad's Grand Library is the sole repository for all historical, religious and recreational literature acquired by Thanutabad's citizens. It is also the location of the town's only enchanting table.

The Furnace House
The Furnace House is Thanutabad's oldest structure and previous town hall. It is the sole reason for the founding of the town being in the location that it is and is therefore considered a protected heritage site. It is literally a small rectangular house made of furnaces. It is also the only structure within Thanutabad that pre-dates the city itself.

The Temple of Abyssism
The primary religious building of Thanutabad's Cult of Abbyssism, a branch of Abyss Mysticism. The temple was constructed around the severed hand of an elder being at the previous level of bedrock. Due to Rathnir recently expanding itself deeper into void territory, strange phenomenon have started to occur in the area within and surrounding Thanutabad. Cultists fear the void and what lurks within, they dedicate their lives to humility and greater purpose, in order to not upset the horrors of the void.

The Haunted Forest
The Hanged forest encompasses nearly the entirety of Thanutabad's eastern border. The forest initially consisted of oak and birch but now has significant amounts of acacia, dark oak, spruce and jungle trees growing within it. The Hanged forest contains the only path leading into Thanutabad from the east. The forest got it name from the numerous amount of hanged players heads that reside on the path leading into Thanutabad, a warning to any that may want to cause harm to the city. The forest is supposedly haunted by supernatural creatures that hunt at the edge of the path's treeline, dragging victims into the forest to take their heads and place them on the path. This is the apparent cause blamed for the string of disappearances that have occurred surrounding the city. Thanutabad's government denies these rumours and ensures that the eastern path is completely safe.

Early History and Founding
Initially, Thanutabad was planned to be founded within the abandoned city of Galitz (prior to its resettlement). However, the area was considered overdeveloped and over-mined and therefore the town was instead founded within the nearby curiosity of the furnace house. During this early period, Thanutabad would be raided while its inhabitants were offline. losing the entirety of its diamonds, gold and iron supply.

Despite this, the town would expand out from the furnace house, with the first new structure being the crafting table house/"Sleeping Chamber" and the chest house. Soon after this, the player Mink123 (AKA Thanut, the person the town was named after) would join, building the door tower and the now removed door house. This would be his sole contribution to the town.

Along with Mink123, the player KNACIG would also join and build the traitor tree, a tree of player heads within the town. Ironically, the tree consisted of heads of unknown players whose angel-chests KNACIG happened to come across as Thanutabad did not have any traitorous member yet.

The Traitor
After the arrival of KNACIG and Mink123, a new player named Sadiruku would be invited into Thanutabad. Although there weren't initially any issues, Sadiruku would start repeatedly killing and looting players within Thanutabad. He was hunted down then banished after he stole diamonds and then attempted to ransom them back to TheManAndPlan47. His head remains on the top of the alchemy building as a reminder, also it just looks funny.

The Escharian Crisis
As Thanutabad expanded north, it would come into contact with the nation of Escharia. Relations were initially warm between the developing Thanutabad and Escharia, with TheManAndPlan47 agreeing to the proposal by FaBiolUs08 to incorporate Thanutabad into Escharia. Despite this agreement, the citizens of Thanutabad would be extremely resistant toward entering Escharia and would refuse to sign up to become official citizens of Escharia. Despite TheManAndPlan47 becoming a citizen and the reassurance that the non-compliant citizens wouldn't be a threat, FaBoilUs08 would threaten war against Thanutabad, with a battle being planned for the fate of the town. It would be the intervention of Valendaesu, the leader of the neighboring Galitz, that would end the potential conflict. Thanutabad would remain internally independent, with only TheManAndPlan47 required to be a citizen and religiously convert to Soleannenism. The main condition on the part of TheManAndPlan47 would be that if any actions were performed against Escharia by Thanutabad citizens, TheManAndPlan47 would be held directly responsible.

The Great Schism
After a deal between Escharia and the new country of Gertonia, the lands of Thanutabad and Galitz were sold to Gertonia for 200k without the consent of either city. Unhappy with the new obligations and taxes placed on them by Gertonia, Galitz and Thanutabad broke away to form The Kingdom Of Curio, an independent state from both Gertonia and Escharia.

Gertonian Reintegration
Soon after Galitz and Thanutabad separated from Gertonia, communications with Kaiser Jeremy (Gertonia's Leader) would be established. During these talks, it was revealed that the excessive taxes, diamond donations and other obligations were never meant to apply to the region of Curio. These conditions were instead simply outdated rules intended to ensure that players in their major cities were remaining active. After this was resolved, both Galitz and Thanutabad joined Gertonia willingly.
