Another debate was the legal one: the MtA constitution was deemed by some to be too complex and stale, so a change was seen as necessary; there was some doubt as to whether it would be better to write a new constitution from scratch, or condense Mount Augusta's into a more friendly format. The [https://reddit.com/r/MountSeptember r/MountSeptember] subreddit was banned on September 3rd 2020 (The "sunken park" was built in honor of this event), and the former was deemed as a better alternative. The original constitution was drafted by AllenY, which after a brief revision period was ratified on September 30th 2020.
=== Creation of the Mall and the Septem ===
On October 22nd 2020, the Mount September Mall officially opened, and was followed six days after with the creation of a local currency: the Septem ($), worth seven diamonds, and its subdivision, the Yiseptem (￥), worth 1/64th of a Septem. The MtS Mall slowly but surely grew and now includes over half a dozen shops, selling building materials, food, enchanted items and various other things.
Most shops in the MtS Mall use the Septem as currency.
=== December Revolt ===

The ordeal ended when Wingzero54 teleported to TheOrangeWizard and accidentally let him through one of the doors, after which point he pearled minemaster - cooliomoose jumped in the vault and pearled TheOrangeWizard shortly after.

From the 12th to the 25th of February 2021, the lunar new year was celebrated in Mount September, drawing in attendance players from across the map. A special map art of the Chinese character 福 was created for the Lunar New Year. It is traditionally hung upside down during the Lunar New Year, and so the map art, rotated in an item frame, could be seen on many houses and public areas, such as the voter tree
For the duration of the celebrations, the voter tree was decorated with red floating lanterns and a large group of people gathered on the evening of the 25th to do various activities while drunk on Lusitan wine, such as parkour, as well as talk in a voice chat and run around the voter tree.
=== Godomasta elected Mayor ===
On the 28th of February Godomasta was elected Mayor, becoming the second Mayor of Mount September, succeeding [[Squareblob]]. The new mayorship came with a modified Cupboard, including the creation of a new Cup: the Cup of Defense, a position held by former mayor Squareblob. While the Diplomat position was not changed by Godomasta, Thraldek, longtime Diplomat of Mount September, tended his resignation on March 17th, 2021,<ref>https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742831405444104352/821795678632149032</ref> and was replaced by [[RedDevel]] on April 4th 2021.
==Culture==
Mount September's owes its cosmopolitan nature to the presence of many expatriates, newfriends and oldfriends alike. It has inherited many elements of Augustan culture and society, including some aspects of its political system such as direct democratic participation.

=== Currency ===
On the 28th of October 2020, the Septem ($) and its subdivision, the Yiseptem (￥)was created by AllenY. While still technically a private venture, the Septem is widely accepted as the semi-official local currency. The Septem is used in various shops inside the Mount September mall.
=== Running Jokes ===
Line 80 ⟶ 86:
[[File:SquareDiscord.png|left|thumb|153x153px|Square's iconic discord profile picture]]
[[Squareblob]]'s discord profile picture is very recognizable in MtS, and a customized version was adopted by Metriximor, which made the dog blue and added a black "M" on it's forehead. Since early 2021, a trend was formed around making a custom Square discord profile picture, and this in turn led to running joke about there being a "dog deep state" or "squarest deep state" in Mount September since many government members adopted variations of the Square profile pictures.

==== Voting System ====
Line 124 ⟶ 131:
In Mount September, political parties are not formal in any way and tend to be jokes. Currently, there exists two political parties in MtS:
* Great Oldfriend Party (GOP) - Party that wishes to maintain the so-called "oldfriend regime". The GOP was founded and is led by [[RedDevel]].
* United Coggers Party (UCP) - Single-issue party and voting bloc aiming to restore the MtS Discord server cogboard after it was replaced by the trollboard. The
