Nexus (Nibbanian: Nexia) was a post-Outer Heaven semi-democratic survivalist collection of nation states formed and upheld by Supreme Lord Tiltania of Nexus City, mainly situated in Eastern Europe. Nexus' towns sat upon the Red Sea, the Black Sea, The Pacific Ocean and the Labrador Sea. At its peak, Nexus was the largest nation by population in the Seventh Era.
The nations predecessor, Outer Heaven, was established as a group of militant entities interested in global-scale private security and the maintenance of peace in regions less developed, however due to the lack of proper governing structure, the nations economic output stagnated and suffered as a cause of it. Supreme Lord Tiltania compiled several of his clients from Outer Heaven to re-implement the nation, focusing on national infrastructure, larger economic output and a re-organised military. Many of it's towns were situated across Eastern Europe, such as Nexus City, Erion, Istanbul, Byzantine_Empire, Luthadel and many other towns spread across Europe and the globe at large.
The re-establishment of Outer Heaven into Nexus was initially the reformation of Nibbania as Nexus City. At the time, the town had not properly established its foundations as a capital as oppose to what was a base of operations. Supreme Lord Tiltania took quick notice of this and appointed a senate of the nations founders; Clienta Frux of Foreign Ministry, Devonia Rillius of National Infrastructure, and Iberian Nonian of Domestic Politics. Although these roles would become more obscured over time, the Senate managed to work well together to spearhead the development of the nation in its early days before Tiltania and the Senate, who would resemble oligarchs rather than formal government members and assumed total control as the nation drifted away from democracy to become an authoritarian state.
In the event that Outer Heaven would come to know as ‘Journey's End’, the sun set on the organisation as it was known, and the server officially shut down for the Seventh Era to be developed. This is when Supreme Lord Tiltania would assemble Nexus’ members. On the 23rd August 2019, Nexus' formation was officially announced and would be formed upon arrival of the Seventh Era.
History[]
Formation[]
The initialization of Nexus occurred several weeks before the opening of the Seventh Era. It began once members of the Senate were gathered for their first formal meeting, taking place on 29th August 2019. This meeting set out the goals of the nation, allowed the nations senators to become acquainted with themselves and the procedures, and concluded in the passing of the first act of law, "The National Defense Act & Nexian Agenda".
"The Nexian Agenda was created as a means to control activity in and outside of Nexus with intent to prevent and stop any potentially harmful or detrimental events from which can damage members of Nexus, the sovereignty of Nexus, or innocent members of the global community by which Nexus is of relevant context. (The latter depending entirely on context of the situation). - Preface, Act 001: The National Defense Act & Nexian Agenda.
Senators would later hold meetings among themselves to outline smaller details of the nations development such as building style, policies for foreign interaction, establishing relationships with other nations and many others.
Nexus was largely contained to its capital, Nexus City, leading up to the release of the Seventh Era. Towns like Istanbul and Erion were some of the only other towns formed belonging to Nexus before the opening of the Seventh Era, however the nation was still contained to Europe.
Early History[]
National Development[]
Several important developments were made upon the release of the Seventh Era, such as development of national infrastructure and the creation of important economic and industrial centers. In Nexus City, roads and construction platforms were laid down and residential suites were quickly developed. Nexus would establish their very own private access Enderman grinder within the first few hours of its history, Whilst not the first, Nexus would also gain access to the Dragon Egg when after entering the End, a second End Dragon would spawn without manually being re-spawned. This Egg would later be confiscated. Aeaeaeaeae's town, Stockholm, would be invited to join the nation in the same day.
The glitched Dragon Egg, belonging to Nexus briefly.
In Erion, structural layouts were laid and the construction of the town began, spearheaded by its leader Clienta Frux.
The Enderman grinder would expand rapidly, becoming the central point of industrial output for Nexus in its early history, where scientific and magical research was conducted frequently. This allowed Nexus to develop equipment for its military much faster and more efficiently than the rest of the world, enabling the nation to quickly become a revered superpower.
Nexus' western neighboring nation, The Germanic Union, would express interest in a formal alliance. Due to past relations with its leadership and express in similar interests, Nexus and The Germanic Union would formally announce their alliance on 17th of September, 2019. This granted The Germanic Union's members access to Nexian facilities and less restrictive access to its towns. It also guaranteed both nations would be at liberty to deploy their military to protect one another according to the appropriate measures stated in the Nexian Agenda.
The Godess of Nexus' national religion - The Mother Pig of Pigism, would later descend upon Nexus City, becoming one of several Holy animals of the world during her life.
Portugal War[]
Several members belonging to Portugal, for reasons unknown, would make trips around the globe to chase down members of Nexus and The Germanic Union in an attempt to kill them. As such, the Senate enacted the Nexian Agenda and alongside The Germanic Union and Avalon, Nexus declared war on Portugal on September 24th, 2019.
The Portugese would quickly surrender and were forced to pay significant reparations, ultimately being unable to pay and forcing their town to close.
Avalonian Conspiracy[]
Unreleased evidence formed by Nexus, which would have been used to declare war on Avalon.
In messages leaked by Officer_Cam, members of Nexus learned of a new secret staff program involving the leader of Avalon, FieryMatter. The program was essentially a way for prominent community members to advice staff on issues in the server and suggest the direction it should take. It was said by several who had access to leaked messages that it appeared as if FieryMatter was attempting to remove powers from owners of the server and grant them to staff members whom FieryMatter had influence over. Whilst a matter of opinion, this remains unconfirmed, however Supreme Lord Tiltania alongside prominent members of Nexus' sphere of influence became major propagators of this theory.
Messages supposedly originating from FieryMatter leaked by Officer_Cam.
Supreme Lord Tiltania would independently begin an investigation as not to involve the nation at large, and due to the nature of the accusations, was not able to create a valid casus belli against Avalon. Instead, he had collected evidence of members of Avalon stealing holy entities possessed by Nexus in order to gain a casus belli. During this time, there was concern that FieryMatter had caught wind of this investigation soon after the discovery of his position in staff, causing Supreme Lord Tiltania to raise concern among other global powers (namely Valedux) that Avalon could be preparing for a global scale war. These claims were later disproved. It was shortly after this that The Rising Sun would declare war on Avalon, causing Avalon to fall.
Expansion[]
Global coverage[]
The Senate would go on to pass several acts to establish friendly relations with other nations and independent towns, following in line with the maintenance of peace in less significant nations set by Outer Heaven. After Nexus had rooted themselves deeply in global politics as a major figure, the nation would see significant expansion. Istanbul claimed more of Turkey and Nexus City expanded their claims greatly to make way for new building projects and domestic industrial facilities.
More towns would later be invited to join Nexus post-conception, such as Sardinia and Luthadel. Sardinia, led by Dizae Tcleu, would later become one of the nations most significant towns in terms of industrial output. It would also serve as the hub for the nations military equipment, being remote and making the logistics of moving around the necessary materials and means of production less straining.
Military expansion[]
At some point in October, Supreme Lord Tiltania proposed an act to form a military pact with global power Valedux, which would pass the Senate and be accepted by the leader of Valedux, SlimDude shortly after. However, this act would never pass through the Valeduxian legal system and was never finalized between the two nations. Regardless, it was informally agreed that the nations would come to each others aid if/when appropriate.
Military parade held between Nexus, The Germanic Union and Valedux.
Monthly military parades were conducted between the two nations both in Nexus City and in Genos as a display of force. Nexus also keenly displayed their grand supply of military equipment, putting on display a giant row of maxed out armor sets in Sardinia.
Germanic Union merge[]
Several of The Germanic Union's members and leadership figures would later join into Nexus, further solidifying Nexus' position as a superpower and arguably making Nexus the strongest nation on the planet during its peak. Some towns, such as Bavaria, would remain independent from the merge, maintaining good relations with Nexus but establishing their own nation. At this point, Nexus had secured positions in Scandinavia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Southern Europe.
Theft[]
Nexus would become infamous for capturing and seizing other nations holy animals. Dlindquist would lead several of the heists, notoriously capturing several of the unnamed Holy Cat's, The Holy Cat of the Spy Crab, and the Holiest Turtle of the Spy Crab. Nexus would also maintain ownership The Mother Pig, The Holy Boat of Prophet ClearDaze, an unnamed Holy Boat and Ambrosia.
Downfall[]
The nations progress would begin to slow down throughout October, and into November, many of Nexus' members grew inactive. Supreme Lord Tiltania declared he would be taking a break from the server to pursue other interests, where the title of Supreme Lord was bestowed upon Sardinia's new leader, Dlindquist. Using the power vested in him, he reformed the nations structure and renamed the nation to Byzantium. Several days later, however, the nation would fall apart under lack of interest of the reformation.
It is unknown exactly when Nexus was disbanded, but upon the return of Tiltania, two weeks after his break, the nation no longer existed.
