The Aeginan independence movement involved two separate attempts by two Aeginan dictators to remove the city of [[Aegina]] out from under the sovereignty of the [[New Danzilona#The Danzilonan Federation|Danzilonan Federation]] (DZF), which was dominated by its most populous city-state, [[New Danzilona]] (NDZ). Both attempts involved the dictator of Aegina declaring independence alone, with the rest of the citizens of Aegina either turning on them or there being no other citizens of Aegina at the time. Additionally, both attempts failed, and NDZ successfully enforced their sovereignty over the swamp city, eventually incorporating it as a territory of NDZ on March 21, 2015.
 
==Background==
 
The land of Aegina was previously occupied by user Lost_ Tommy in late 2013 and early 2014, who built two giant towers in the swamp, butwhich notwould muchbecome morethe iconic centrepieces of the city of Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/24f2hs/hello_i_built_what_youre_claiming/</ref> After building little else that stood the test of time, Tommy went inactive for a while, and thenin his absence [[New Danzilona]] took control of the land sometime in January 2014. Under NDZ control, Fortthe Jaegerentire wasswamp builtbecame anda maintainedsingle byplot of land under the ownership of Danzilonan citizen [[peakman2Lowtuff]], andwho named it Jaeger Island.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/21sef1/does_anyone_have_a_problem_with_a_new_town_being/cggab0o/</ref> Together with [[Lowtuffpeakman2]], whothey usedbuilt itand maintained Fort Jaeger to consolidate their powerauthority over the swamp and the melon and dark oak farms they had built on it. Then, inon theApril spring of1, 2014, powerauthority over AeginaJaeger Island was transferred to the new residents of it_needs_bees (also known as simply Bees), Sir_Grettir, and a few others who were looking to make their own city within the DZF. TheyWanting to found their own town they named Saxony, the group made an agreement with the NDZ- as agreed upon by Lowtuff and peak- saying that the Aeginanpolitical territory (with the exception of Ft. Jaeger) and government could be controlled by the gang, but the actual land Aeginathe city was on would still be owned by NDZ. Trying to unilaterally take the land away from NDZ or the DZF would henceforth, naturally, be illegal. ThroughSoon thisafter the transfer, Saxony was renamed to Aegina, which joined the DZF and soon became aits cityown autonomous nation.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/21z9ch/i_would_like_to_join_the_federation_and_start_a/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2a8nn2/dsf_uniforms_do_you_have_one/citgukj/</ref>
 
== First Phase ==
Line 43:
===Early History of Aegina===
 
After Bees and his friends came into power, Aegina started to develop into a real town. The original founder Lost_Tommy came back and joined the city.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/24f2hs/hello_i_built_what_youre_claiming/</ref> Many factories were built, along with a railroad to NDZ and [[Eros Varos]], another DZF town. Bees gathered lots of supplies and had plans to make automated farms, a wall around the city, and expanded road infrastructure.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/27kmfg/the_dzf_island_chain_aegina_is_recruiting_again/</ref> Unfortunately, most of these plans never saw the light of day or were only half complete. Sir_Grettir and other founders of Aegina also left to found the city of Athens in the [[SPQR]] due to some internal drama among the friend group. As the summer began, Bees started to not play as much, and development of Aegina declined as it fell into the hands of the other residents (most notably AMBeaudry who had a really sweet pig farmAMBeaudry529).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/285fxh/griefed_again/</ref>
 
===The Vale Incident===
 
On July 31st, three residents of [[Vale]]- jakemeister, strattmatt, and snorri- raided Bees' home in Aegina and planted a diamond-reinforced Vale flag in the town.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2ceg87/aegina_raided_by_jakemeister123_strattmatt57_and/</ref> Bees had a history of harassing and sometimes griefing Vale, most of which took place around when Bees first joined Aegina. They had heard that Bees had not been around for a while, so they took this as their opportunity to get revenge. In the eyes of the Danzilonans, however, this was not justified revenge. They felt that this was an attack on the city of Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2cg3sj/trial_needs_to_be_held_for_the_crimes_committed/</ref> The majority threw their support behind Bees, and nationalistic sentiment was rampant in the DZF. Within a matter of a few days, the situation was defused by the cooperation of DZF officials and the three Vale citizens. Bees was paid reps, and the situation was resolved peacefully.
 
===The Pearling of petlahk===
 
Since the town's creation, Aegina had always had strong relations withnorthern theneighbor town bordering Aegina to the north,with [[Eros Varos]]. Bees had always gotten along with its leader, petlahk. They were the leaders of the two smallest (but still active) towns in the DZF, so they banded together when it came to small-town voting rights and how they were represented in the DZF government.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2cikl1/aegina_and_eros_varos_have_formed_the_southern/</ref> Their relations were amicable until a conflict arose in mid-August.
 
Inspired to start playing more actively again after the Vale incident, Bees started rapidly expanding the borders of Aegina. He claimed a snow biome east of Aegina and named it Kall-Ö, along with a mushroom biome he named Mushroom Vista and a plains island named [[Regency]]. Bees was also on the brink of a dispute when he tried to claim land that was already built on by unknown newfriends. Bees' land-grabbing was very unpopular among the Danzilonans. Many believed that it was unfair for him to claim so much new land even though Aegina proper was barely developed. Nevertheless, no one could really stop Bees, and he continued.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ct5mb/mushroom_island_under_aeginian_empire_im_making/</ref>
 
On August 12th, Bees started a territorial dispute with his close neighbor and ally, petlahk. Bees had begun to use a mine that was in Eros Varos territory and owned by petlahk, but Bees argued that the two agreed to share it, which petlahk denied. Decked-out in prot, Bees refused to leave the mine after pet had demanded that he get out and eventually began to ignore pet. In response, petlahk hit Bees with a gold sword and threatened Bees with lava, resulting in Bees attacking and pearling pet.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2dckut/i_want_something_done_about_bees/</ref> The news quickly sparked outrage among the Danzilonans. This was a major turning point in the conflict with Aegina, as public opinion of Bees dramatically changed from supporting him to opposing him. They believed pet had a right to defend his land and that he was unjustly pearled. Bees ignored their requests to free petlahk, vaulted him, and promptly went to sleep.
 
This hurt his case even more. The Danzilonans wanted pet freed, or at least thought a fair trial was in order. Later that night, petlahk was broken out of the Aegina vault by the [[Danzilonan Security Force]] (DSF), Eldoorn, and civilian supporters.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ddnl2/petlahk_freed_clutch/</ref> When Bees woke up, his anger did not yet kick in, but when it did, he demanded that the DZF try petlahk for his supposed crimes. The majority consensus agreed that Bees was in the wrong, and a trial was not held.
 
Bees was told to pay reps for the incident since he let petlahk's dropped items despawn and held him unjustly, but he didn't do so until two or so weeks later when he was pearled by the DSF. Many agreed that Bees showed immaturity throughout the whole situation, and the faith Danzilonans had in him quickly dwindled.

===The Last Straw===
 
After the petlahkpearling incidentof petlahk, most DZF citizens had no trust or faith in Bees. Bees continued to harass petlahk and the rest of the citizens of the DZF. Proposals were made for NDZ to intervene in Aegina and remove Bees as dictator. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ezyzd/discussion_remove_bees_as_city_manager_of_aegina/</ref> Nevertheless, heBees retained power of Aegina and continued to develop it. He made a few recruitment posts, which gathered a good handful of citizens. He gathered more supplies, started to build more housing, finally designed and began construction of the wall, and expanded XP production. The idea of an Aeginan Empire came into Bees' mind.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ct5mb/mushroom_island_under_aeginian_empire_im_making/</ref> Bees claimed he wasn't going to declare independence, but the reality was quite the opposite.
 
In early September, Bees tried to move forward with beginning the talks of Aeginan independence.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2gcca8/vote_to_buy_the_land_aegina_and_kall_o_are_on/</ref> It was met by strong opposition by those who made the original claims on the land and those who have current claims, but a lot people were either sick of Bees and wanted him gone or just didn't really care. The talks were put on hold, but they were still fresh in everyone's minds.
 
On September 19th, the thought of Aeginan independence went down the drain when Bees griefed Eros Varos and intended to cause harm by spawning a ghast.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2gwkxc/why_im_declaring_bees_pos_indirect_evidence_or_not/?ref=search_posts</ref> Bees initially denied the allegations, but they were confirmed when dsclosue of Aeon admitted to selling Bees a ghast egg before the incident. JPEGz, TheTrackball, and a few others attempted to pearl Bees, but he eluded their capture by killing himself and logging off.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2gxqp5/it_needs_bees_pearled_heres_why/</ref> By now, Bees had been deemed POS by the DZF and was banned from Aegina.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2h1e6t/official_declaration/</ref> Bees' dictatorship of Aegina officially ended.
