Industrial Workers of the World

The Industrial Workers of the World Better known as the IWW is a confederation of Communist, Socialist and Anarchist Nations on the Far northern Continent of Napistan.

First Communes
The IWW was founded as a union between the Anarchist Communes of Vescau and Tolstoy on the 23rd of January 2020.

Vescau-Carbon Crisis
on the 25th of January, the leader of Vescau, Jeanluccy Claimed all of Napistan for Vescau despite the rest of the small commune disagreeing. They then proceeded to declare war on Carbon and claimed that they would conduct guerrilla warfare in the Napistani Mountains. He promptly quit the server 2 hours later. The people of Vescau decided to shrink their claims and rebrand as Exarchos. This Prompted Bremerhaven led by Orcishtimmy and Narwhal_19 to leave Vescau and for its own nation as a member of the IWW. On the 26th of January Makhnovia a small town in the mountains in between Bremerhaven and Tolstoy, joined the IWW.

Bombing of Tolstoy
On the Second of February 2020 PartyAnimal, a newfreind was spotted in full prot going through Varathia and Alexandria. About 2 hours later he spread TNT across Tolstoy and lit it. While in the chaos he killed 2 Tolstoians and pearled rain. The pearl was then stored in an obsidian box on the north end of the Weser river.

Allies from Alexandria and Wheatistan came and broke Rain out, but the lasting damage from the raid caused 5 Tolstoians to quit and the city go into decline. Almost exactly a month later he was pearled by Albyrt while he tried to raid Alexandrian Farms in Eastern Napistan.

Background
Initially the IWW was leaderless as it was founded on Anarchistic Principles. Rainofpain125 however owned the discord server and the namelayer group allowing him to become the de facto leader of the IWW. In Early February after a vote by Narwhal_19 the IWW extended its claims farther south. However this conflicted with farms MCSPenguin had in the area. after short border conflict the claims were adjusted and Penguin land was created. Despite the negotiations with Penguin rain decided to try to break bastions near farms in Penguinland. After being caught by Penguin he was pearled.

Crab Coup
The IWW decided to use this time to create a new role conduct diplomacy the "Union Organizer" or UO. After Rain was released two weeks later a tense situation remained. on the 12th of March a conflict broke out between those who supported rain in the IWW (know as rainites) and those against rain called the crab army, the name given to members of CRAB, a group founded by Ian and heyduckhi. Between the 12th and 15th the crab army reset all the snitches and bastions in the IWW to a new group before rain could notice. After a few days of arguing rain agreed to hold elections for server and namelayer owner.

While at first the supporters of the crab army tried to boycott rain's elections eventually they all ended up voting for Hiduckhi as a their chosen candidate. During the election rain ran one of his alts as a separate candidate, this led to more arguing and eventually Rain's banishment from the IWW. Ducky became the first "Server Organizer" or SO, she was replaced by 4788888 in May.

Aftermath
With Rain being expelled from the IWW he went on to found the Black International and the Paris Commune in Norlund.

The May Day Invasion
On May 1st 2020 (International Workers Day), Bobanga and Eslenti attacked Anvard. During the attack, Goldencruchcrms went down to survey damages and after encountering the invaders, fell into a pot-hole and was pearled. Most of the Anvardians were evacuated in a rescue mission by Narwhal_19 and 4788888 via the IWW embassy Alexandria. While resupplying in the IWW embassy in Alexandria, Narwhal_19 was pearled by Darkydu and IanX12. Throughout the rest of the war, Anvard refugees lived in camps set up in Bremerhaven.

The Battle of Bremerhaven
On the May 2nd, Darkydu, Sircrowley, and Tradewars attacked Bremerhaven. Volunteers from Carbon fought against the raiders. Lvlyryn was pearled along with one of the Carbon volunteers. Server lag forced the Bobangan army to retreat.

Raid on Tolstoy
Not long after Darkydu and other Bobangans attacked Tolstoy. Minimal Damage was sustained and nobody was pearled.

Invasion of Bremerhaven and Savaguard Involvement
After the IWW's counter-strike on Bobanga by 4788888, Red_Medic_Leader, heyduckhi, Nirvanguard, Comrade_Gus, and EmDubleYou, Bobangan and Eslenti forces rushed to Bremerhaven along with a Savaguard militia to end the war. Bremerhaven was overrun by invaders who griefed farms, structures, and houses. A notable casualty of the invasion was the griefing of the CivRealms Library Association library and university, an international organization as well as the destruction of the Statue of Lenin, a true monument to the proleterian struggle. Comrade_Gus was also pearled during the invasion. After the invasion, a ceasefire was called and Wobblies quickly got back to work rebuilding.

Leaders of the IWW
The IWW's Initially had no official leader as it was formed on an anarchistic basis. Rainofpain125 had made the IWW discord and used this as an opportunity to become leader. Overtime Rain became viewed as the face of the IWW and represented it diplomatically. After a small border conflict with MCSPenguin which led to Rain being pearled the IWW decided they needed to elect someone to properly manage its diplomatic affairs. On the 6th of February the IWW voted to elect a "union organizer" or UO. There would be 2 UOs elected on 2 month terms and elections would rotate so there would be one a month. In the first series of elections ADAM (Coolking1500) and VolutionFs were elected UOs.

Rain still maintained his position of owner of the in game namelayer groups and the discord and proceeded to abuse his power. In an power struggle he was removed from power and banished from the IWW. His role as owner of the namelayer group and the discord server led to the creation of the position of "Server Organizer" or SO. Hiduckhi was elected as the first SO. In April of 2020 the system was changed so that a two new UOs would be elected every month. * Never held Title "Server Organizer" but instead "Supreme Leader".
