Line 1:
The Aeginan independence movement involved two separate attempts by two Aeginan dictators to remove Aegina out from under the sovereignty of the 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. {{Infobox military conflict

===== Author's Note =====▼
The guy who wrote all this is Des23, who was a former city manager of NDZ and resident of NDZ for four months. Hopefully you find me credible. I believe all of these events have some sort of significance in leading up to the conflict of Aeginan independence, even if it seems like this is just the history of Aegina. Enjoy.▼

The land of [[Aegina]] was previously occupied by user Lost_ Tommy, who built two giant towers in the swamp, but not much more. Tommy went inactive for a while, and then [[
= Early History =
After Bees 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 rail 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. Many of Aegina's citizens also left to become a part of the SPQR. 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 (notably AMBeaudry who had a really sweet pig farm).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Aegina/comments/285fxh/griefed_again/</ref>

Line 55 ⟶ 51:
Since the town's creation, Aegina had always had strong relations with the town bordering Aegina to the north, 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. Their relations were nice until a conflict arose in mid-August.
After the Vale Incident, Bees started

This hurt his case even more. The Danzilonans wanted pet freed, or at least thought a fair trial was in order. Later that night,
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.

After the petlahk incident, most DZF citizens had no trust or faith in Bees. Bees continued to harass petlahk and the rest of the citizens of the DZF. Nevertheless, he 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. Bees claimed he wasn't going to declare independence, but the reality was quite the opposite.
Line 69 ⟶ 65:
In early September, Bees tried to move forward with beginning the talks of Aeginan independence. 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

Now an outlaw, Bees continued to threaten NDZ with grief and political overthrow. As a last ditch effort to save face, Bees forged a conversation with petlahk in an attempt to make himself the victim of petlahk's conspiracy.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2he4op/well_for_anyone_doubting_that_bees_isnt_a/</ref>DSF fighters caught up to Bees near Aeon on September 20th, but he jumped off a cliff and logged off, avoiding imprisonment.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2gxqp5/it_needs_bees_pearled_heres_why/</ref>
On October 14, 2014, Bees was pearled and given to TealNerd to be vaulted as he awaited trial.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2j90t9/just_in_case_celoxias_post_gets_downvoted_yes/</ref> However, he was freed on October 26th when HCF fighters broke into Teal's vault during an unrelated conflict, making him an outlaw yet again.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2ke9da/an_explanation_of_what_happened_last_night_at_my/</ref>
Bees eventually wandered onto [[Islamic Sultanate of Istanbul and Samarra|The Islamic Sultanate of Istanbul and Samarra]] on November 11, 2014, where members of the Islamic Militia led by Soccer37772 pearled him and handed him off to Augustan authorities for safekeeping.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2ls8rz/it_needs_bees_pearled_post_honey/</ref>Afterwards, he decided to quit the server and admitted to all his crimes.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2m1718/i_am_quitting_ask_me_anything/</ref>
== Inscourge's Conspiracy ==
Following a period of stability, growth, and decline of Aegina after Bees' imprisonment, a former resident of Aegina attempted to declare the city independent yet again on January 18, 2015.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2suscs/i_am_the_owner_of_aegina/</ref> Known as either Inscourge, Cygnus, or Bondle, he quickly retracted his declaration, claiming that he did not realize Aegina was still under DZF sovereignty after all previous citizens had left. Inscourge then attempted to revive Aegina within the DZF, but after a few weeks long hiatus, started to plan for Aeginan independence again.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2suz8y/aegina_needs_help_from_you_danzilonians_i_am/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/30jxfq/50d_bounty_on_each_jpegz_and_heliosvictus/cpt56r1/</ref>His plan was to imitate the terror attacks of Rancuneus, a griefer who previously destroyed much of Danzilona in late 2013 by covering the city in lava numerous times. He also planned who recruit foreign mercenaries to overthrow the government of NDZ, including GTAIVIsBest, who reported Inscourge's plot to NDZ.
After being tipped off to Inscourge's plan, the DSF banned him for entering DZF territory again, and, much like Bees before him, he was declared an outlaw. He defied his ban, returning to Aegina numerous times to collect supplies, and attempted to continue his recruitment plan not knowing that everyone he attempted to recruit was reporting his movements to the DSF. Eventually, on March 27, 2015, his main account was found trespassing in Aegina again, and an alt of his was spotted in Aeon. The DSF acted quickly, avoiding posting a bounty on Inscourge to not tip him off. In one decisive move, DSF fighters Des23 and JPEGz pearled his accounts in Aegina and Aeon, respectively, alt-banning him.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/30k1s8/bondlecygnusx3inscourgelaxatives_alt_banned/</ref>
== Aftermath ==
it_needs_bees was sentenced, with time served, to 6 months imprisonment by the citizens of NDZ on February 6, 2015.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2v14hg/claims_and_sentencing_for_it_needs_bees/</ref>He remained in the Mt. Augusta vault under their caretaking until he was released on March 1st.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2xmpcx/it_needs_bees_freed/</ref>After release, Bees laid low and never interfered in Aeginan or DZF affairs again, living a quiet life in the 4chan-claimed areas of the map.
After he later admitted to using a VPN to avoid the alt-ban, Inscourge was IP banned from Civcraft altogether, and NDZ decided to hold onto his pearls indefinitely.<ref>https://i.imgur.com/UfccNi6.png</ref>
On March 21, 2015, Aegina was demoted from its city status within the DZF and incorporated as a territory of NDZ, forever solidifying the city's sovereignty over it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2zrxmg/results_make_aegina_and_trackistan_territories_of/</ref>
