The United States of America was created by Byzant77 on 8 September 2022, during the Ninth Era. It was created following a vote by members of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) to move from Europe to North America.
History[]
Beginnings[]
On 8 September 2022, JDrocks11, a well-known and influential figure within the Holy Roman Empire (despite himself not technically being a member), petitioned the idea of the creation of the United States of America, a Federated Republic in the continent of North America where people can vote for their leaders and laws. The idea came after talking for multiple hours with many other HRE members who had become bored of the dullness and repetitive events in Europe. Following the unanimous vote to decide whether or not to move to America, mass immigration of the Central Europeans caused multiple towns to spring up along the Eastern coast of North America. The new nation formed from this exodus expanded immensely through immigration policies and the expansion of its territory to new lands. The following states were created as a result: New York, New England, Chesapeake, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Mexico, California, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
States[]
New York[]
The State of NY was established on 8 September 2022, by Byzant77. It was a continuation of the Archduchy of Austria, the leading state of the HRE at the time before its dissolution. New York became the capital of the United States of America for its strategic position along the Hudson River. To fund itself and the nation, New York sought to create the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), a joint-stock company, with the goal of being able to gain enough money to begin creating other profitable ventures. One such venture is the Central American Bank, which would be a bank strictly dedicated to international loans and monetary storage.

The Monroe Doctrine[]
On September 21, 2022, the United States would issue a statement. While the exact terminology has been lost, the basic premise was a complete reproduction of the real-life Monroe Doctrine. This statement claimed that colonialism from other sections of the world was to be condemned by the US government, and that they would protect any towns in the Americas from the colonial ambitions of foreign powers.
While ambitious, the statement was meant largely as a role-playing effort, and the government did not have the intention nor the means to war nations for settling in the New World. Nevertheless, despite the relatively benign intentions of the Monroe Doctrine, it would be taken as far more of a threat by other nations.
Provocation[]
Later in the evening, the nation, which was mostly offline at the time, would grow confused once it was noticed that a new town had been founded within the unfilled claims of Pennsylvania, one of the largest and most powerful towns in the nation. Even more strange was that it was owned by LegendaryOtter, was rapidly expanding, and had extremely aggressive and profane name. Once the leader of Pennsylvania, ThursAfternoon, realized that it was meant to be an attack on the nation, he quickly logged onto the server, despite having already gotten off for the night. He would claimblock otter as quickly as possible, but would be killed almost immediately after attempting to defend his town. Otter would then proceed to kill several other members of the USA, who were now coming online, and claim outposts within the unfilled claims of nearly every other town in the nation. The Americans, hopelessly outmatched in terms of pvp skill, could do little but watch as their nation was largely claimblocked by this new town.
Fallout[]
ThursAfternoon, after screaming profanities at otter, would delete his town, and then announce his departure from the server, followed by similar declarations from JDRocks11, Renwiz123, and Junknooo. Byzant77, for his part, would also quietly quit, however he left his town of New York as it was, purely out of spite. He would soon be banned from the discord for spamming, and would never be seen by a member of his nation or the MCPE community again. ThursAfternoon would rejoin the server days later due to a lack of other servers to play, and settled in Baja California, after expressing regret at his outburst during the incident. The town would join Valedux, then Britain, then would abandon the area altogether as Renwiz, JD, and Junknooo returned and decided to form a town in Antarctica. These members, followed soon by Weaponizedduck, would remain in Antarctica as the town of Rossland for the rest of the era, whilst slowly getting less and less active.
