History

Founding of the IWW and early growth

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, an alt later revealed to be Vanax, 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 RainOfPain125. 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 RainOfPain125 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. However, PartyAnimal was released as Vanax had groups on the Alexandrian vault.

Overthrow of RainOfPain125

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, RainOfPain125 decided to try to break bastions near farms in Penguinland(Citation needed). After being caught by Penguin, RainOfPain125 was pearled.

Crab Coup

The IWW decided to use this time to create a new role conduct diplomacy the "Union Organizer" or UO. After RainOfPain125 was released two weeks later a tense situation remained. on the 12th of March a conflict broke out(Citation needed) between those who supported RainOfPain125 in the IWW (know as rainites(Citation needed)) and those against RainOfPain125 called the crab army(Citation needed), the name given to members of CRAB, a group founded and led 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 RainOfPain125 could notice(Citation needed). After(Citation needed, after?) a few days of arguing RainOfPain125 agreed to hold elections for server and namelayer owner.

The "crab army" or Insurrectionary IWW as RainOfPain125 called it, were behind the scenes ready to undemocratically take total control over the group, resetting snithces, bastions, and stealing supplies before the upcomming election, ready to overthrow the IWW if RainOfPain125 had won the election.

While at first the supporters of the crab army tried to boycott RainOfPain125's elections eventually they all ended up voting for heyduckhi as their chosen candidate. During the election RainOfPain125 ran one of his alts as a separate candidate(Citation needed), this led to more arguing and eventually RainOfPain125's banishment from the IWW(Citation needed). Ducky became the first "Server Organizer" or SO, she was replaced by 4788888 who was elected in May after the 2nd SO election or as it is formally known, The 2nd Coup.(Citation needed)

Aftermath

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

Contrary to Rain's assertions that the IWW would 'decay', the IWW entered a period of significant growth(Citation needed) especially in Bremerhaven. This period lasted until the war with Bobunga.

War with Bobanga

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

IWW Forces after occupying Tenochtitlan

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 proletarian struggle. Comrade_Gus was also pearled during the invasion. After the invasion, a ceasefire was called and Wobblies quickly got back to work rebuilding.

The Hell War

On the 19th of June 2020, a group of raiders from the Hell Vault attacked Varathia and the city of Chungus. Initially, it seemed that the LSA would stay out of the conflict but after the pearling of some Otanabians the LSA made the decision to participate in the conflict. Norlund, the IWW and New Agral all sent fighters to the conflict. Union Organizers Adam and Narwhal_19 and Server Organizer 4788888 were present along with Red_Medic_Leader. Hiduckhi was also present but did not take part in fighting instead building a shack with a mysterious individual know as JohnDelnaey called Iowa just beside the front. No IWW members were pearled in the fighting but Narwhal_19 fell to his death while taking pictures after the fighting ended.

Leaders of the IWW

The IWW's Initially had no official leader(Citation needed) as it was formed on an anarchistic basis. RainOfPain125 had made the IWW discord and used this as an opportunity to become leader. Overtime RainOfPain125 became viewed as the face of the IWW and represented it diplomatically. After a small border conflict with MCSPenguin which led to RainOfPain125 being pearled(Citation needed) 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.

RainOfPain125 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 UO system was changed so that two new UOs would be elected every month.
