Mediterranean Empire

Brief Description
The Mediterranean Empire is one of the oldest nations after the reset. It was the fourth nation to sprout up. The leader was Loogiah, and he ruled with a group of people known as the "Council of Admins". Those in the council were LukeHedden, Hornsby, Bees, TheBlueGamer, Joelacoca, and SirLumi. The Capital was Sicily. After it fell, LukeHedden remade it, and became emperor. The capital moved from Sicily to the Balearic Islands. Currently, LukeHedden is the monarch of the nation still in the technical capitol, the Balearic Islands, but now Loogiah has become the leader again taking the position as the prime minister.

History
The Mediterranean Empire was founded on 4/20/2020 (nice), before the Early Access period was even over. Prior to its creation, Loogiah, _The_Blue_Gamer_, and LukeHedden (Now mayor of the Balearic Islands), were attacked by Escalade and Jrengen1234 as retaliation for an attempted assassination of Jrengen by GermanyLover and Loogiah. They forced Loogiah to surrender, and he had to pay 6,201$ as reparation money.

However, shortly after this, LukeHedden farmed dark oak trees and have the money to Loogiah to form the nation. Eventually Loogiah found an Alien Pickaxe in a Meteor that landed in Greece which he swiftly regained his wealth after a long mining session and pushed his nation to becoming the richest on the server at the time (MOG).

Tensions were rising between the Mediterranean Empire and America and their allies, Exembrus. Things came to a head when Honeybeees and Yourmom911 were insulting eachother, until Yourmom911 brought his friends to Bees' base in California. Loogiah came to the aid of Bees, and killed Jrengen, causing Yourmom911, Affe, and Nanolac to flee.

Later, word got out about a planned out attack on Sicily. Loogiah gathered his friends into a group DM on discord to prepare for the attack, and prepared an effective battle plan. However, things didn't go how Loogiah imagined them, so instead, the Mediterraneans took the fight to Denver, running from California, across the Rockies, and finally ending up in Denver. When Jrengen saw GermanyLover, he left the server.

However, 45 seconds later, he logged back in, and teleported to Yourmom911, who had his men congregate north of Denver. GermanyLover went north to gather Recon intelligence, and shared that there were 6 people there, all with guns. The Mediterraneans charged forwards, facing lag all the way, and fought the Exembrians. Loogiah killed both Yourmom911 and Jrengen, while Germanylover killed Magneseoxide. Loogiah split the items with GermanyLover and the weaker Mediterraneans. Although Affe and Nanolac never died, Exembrus messaged Loogiah offering peace.

This war was later called World War 1, and the final terms were:

1) Exembrus shall pay the victors $15,000

2) Exembrus shall end their alliance with America, and cut all ties with them. (which they did not follow through with)

3) Honeybeees and Yourmom911 shall not attack or insult eachother.(which neither side followed through with)

4) The Mediterranean Empire shall recognize Exembrus as a sovereign nation.

However, when it seemed like peace was finally here, Another war had already begun. According to Escalade, the war never really ended, despite the treaty being signed. With this re-declaration of war, Loogiah went to Exembrus to claim block it. The journey took 40 minutes, thanks to a helpful teleport from Affemonk, who got him to central Canada. When he finally got there, he claimed an outpost and immediately saw Escalade, Yourmom911, Ironbot, and Jrengen1234 waiting for him. He drank a potion of resistance and ran in.

Jren charged at him first, and Loogiah swiftly took him out with a single Olympia shot, before he could even get hit by Jren. Escalade charged in shortly after, who was also taken out with a single Olympia shot. Ironbot got shot from a distance with Loogiah's AK-47, and Yourmom911 fell victim to Loogiah's hunting rifle. Escalade logged off when he died, and logged back in to collect his stuff. Loogiah shot and killed him while he re-armed three times before Escalade grabbed his stuff and combat-logged.

After this, the four of them accused Loogiah of lagswitching, and said he only lived because of his "strength potions", which don't even effect projectiles. They spammed the server with things such as: #BanLoogiah, #LoogiahLagswitch, and #LoogiahBackDoor. Yourmom911 told Loogiah that he should "Burn alive for being bisexual", and Jren said he should "Go to Saudi Arabia and get beheaded". This harassment has yet to be addressed by the mods.

The server went down for two days after this event, because the Owner, MoistPencil, had had enough of people spamming harassment and insults at him.

The day the server went up, Loogiah left to go grocery shopping, and the Escalade's crew took this as an opportunity to go raid Loogiah's peaceful members, killing Lukehedden, KingofNassaka (whom has recently been revealed to be a pedophile (ew), and has been banned), and Stevetuck, who is the President of Texas. Loogiah had to surrender, as he couldn't return home for the next 5 hours, and did not want to subject his members to 5 hours of non-stop death. Chiraq demanded that California's bank be drained of all money, and that Loogiah must pay Escalade $13,000, and that all sides will delete all of their outposts used for combat. (The group DM where everyone decided the terms has been deleted, this is going off of memory. If anyone remembers another term, feel free to add it!) California payed Escalade their town balance, and was financially compensated by Loogiah. Loogiah finally managed to scrounge up the remaining 13k at the end of the day.

However, after this, Loogiah realized after a few hours of thought that this is a war server. If there is peace, then it will be boring. He also didn't trust that Escalade would keep the peace. He had a suspicion that Jackdognose, King of the British Empire, was working with Chiraq, so he claimed an outpost at England. Jack rightfully reacted to this by dumping lava over it, which almost killed Loogiah. Loogiah foolishly took this as an act of war, and taunted Jack in the chat until he finally "fought" him.

What was hyped to be an epic battle between two emperors was actually Jack flying in the air, using his ./tfly perk from being a Titan rank, shooting Loogiah with his hunting rifle from super high in the sky, and nobody could land any hits on eachother. The fight ended when Yourmom911 teleported in and killed Loogiah while he was aiming at Jack in the air.

Loogiah once again gathered his friends together to lead an attack on their enemies. However, this time, they were to strike at Salvus, the Capital of Exembrus. They trekked across the difficult Alaskan territory and eventually reached Salvus. GermanyLover44 lead the LavaCast portion of the operation, and Loogiah got set to work on building an Outpost Tower. When their enemies logged back on, they all regrouped at the Tower, and rained hell on them. Loogiah had set up a masterful outpost tower, with 15 trapdoors that could be shot out from. In the first phase of the fight, Loogiah sniped Ironbot, Slerped, Escalade, and Jren. Kam (ew) shot and killed a few of them. The second phase involved pushing their structure while under covering fire. Loogiah, GermanyLover, and Affemonk charged in and lead the attack on their enemies, and killed all of them without suffering a single casualty. Loogiah shotgunned Jack, Germany killed Escalade, and the covering fire sniped the stragglers when they ran out from hiding. The Mediterraneans and allies proceeded to occupy the city for 15 more minutes before dispersing.

"**PLEASE NOTE BEFORE THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH** KingofNassaka, aka Kam is a BAD person. We are deeply ashamed for associating with him, and we regret our actions taken to defend him. At the time we were unaware that he was a Pedophile, and we DO NOT endorse his behavior."

Two hours after this initial success, Kam frantically messaged the Mediterraneans and allies asking for help, because Chiraq and their allies were sieging Nassaka. GermanyLover, Cybw, Loogiah, TheLolus, Joelacoca, met at Nassaka, and defended from the assault on the town. It was mainly a sniper battle, in stark contrast to the Olympia warfare that had been occurring for all of the war so far. Not much happened until Lolus split off from the group, creating a Group B, which had a better angle on the enemies' hiding spots. While they were distracted with the B group, Germany, Loogiah, Cybw, Kam, and TheLolus pushed in, and all out warfare began. (This next part is a bit sketchy, cause I only have my POV, and I encourage anyone who participated to add your own POV!) The Meds and allies pushed forwards, and used the mildly hilly terrain to their advantage. Loogiah pushed the base, but was shotgunned by Escalade. He teleported back in, got his stuff, and rejoined the fight, providing covering fire with the guns he salvaged. Eventually, The allies stormed their makeshift base and killed them all.

At this point, the war had seemed won, but Escalade's crew still insisted it was not over. While most of the allies were offline, John gathered six people to ambush GermanyLover, and taunted him in chat when he couldn't 6v1 them. This eventually caused Germany to quit.

The day before, Loogiah let one of his friends from the old server, xXAshtonGamingXx, into his town. He was provided housing, and was assisted when a bug prevented him from speaking in chat. Then, while Loogiah was offline, Jackdognose coerced Ashton into betraying Loogiah, and acting as an insider. Ash let them into Loogiahs supposedly impenetrable bunker, and when he logged on, he was 4v1'd by Escalade's crew while his texture packs were loading. This caused Loogiah to lose it, and feeling beaten and humiliated, disbanded the nation like a coward and fled to the nation of Mog once he salvaged all of his items from the town. As I, Loogiah, am the one writing this, I openly admit to feeling ashamed for my impulsive, unnecessary, and cowardly actions. If I could take them back, I would. To all my members, I deeply apologize.

That is the end of the Mediterranean Empire.

SIKE

LukeHedden remade the empire, and Loogiah moved from Sicily to Palermo (a city on the other side of Sicily).

After this, xXAshtonGamingXx began to insult Loogiah, calling him a faggot and a pussy. Ashton tried to teleport to him, and Loogiah killed him in Palermo's bunker. However, Ashton used /back and killed Loogiah while his back was turned. Ashton proceeded to camp Palermo until Loogiah killed him with a Grenade and Ballista.

After this, Loogiah felt the need to make a TPA trap machine, and he tested it out on Ashton. It worked, and Ashton stopped harassing Loogiah for the time being, after his amazing gear was burned in lava.

The next day, Ashton tried to teleport to Loogiah again, and got trapped in the TPA trap. However, he also teleported Escalade, the King of Chiraq, into the trap. Ashton died and Escalade combat logged.

Loogiah made a prison that was Inescapable. Nobody who got put in could ever escape unless let out. Moist decided that killing Escalade for eternity was too harsh, and ordered Loogiah to remove the lava. Loogiah did, but there was a misunderstanding amongst the admins, and Moist thought that Loogiah lied. He let Escalade out, and he killed Loogiah while he was building.

Escalade quit the server with the departure of Moist.

Loogiah began fighting against Norway, a two-town nation who were really toxic towards other players. Loogiah killed Ashton numerous times, but lost a 1v1 against JimBob, who shot him while he was typing.
