Within a week of founding, Shiroyama had begun construction in earnest. The house of [[Bronnakus]], Nara's oldest building, was built on 6/4/2022, followed quickly by [[Ukai]]'s house and sheep gauntlet in Noto Point. By the end of the week, Nara hosted a flower shop, wood exchange, multiple houses, and the global headquarters of MofuMofu Wool. Shiroyama, a city built at a reasonable scale and focused on aesthetics, quickly blossomed into an attractive place for foreign visitors and investors. For much of this period, most of the nation operated out of a single small bunker, with resources freely shared between citizens. This was referred to as the ''communism bunker'' by citizens and lasted until the bunker was upgraded in mid July.

===The First Month (June 2022)===

The town of Ichinokawa was planned by [[Paragonius]] as the nation's second settlement within the first week, though it was not established until the third week. In that time Shiroyama also was expanding quickly and drawing in new players, as well as advancing through the tech tree with the help of [[Greltam]] and his farms in the Greltam Special Economic Zone (GSEZ), which is located in north Dalgon. Two new Komuin were promoted for their efforts following launch, with [[Ukai]] as the Komuin of Domestic Affairs (which would later be renamed the Komuin of the Interior). [[Dynamiczbee]] was also promoted as the Komuin of Agriculture, and spearheaded farm construction, with a particular focus on producing aesthetically pleasing farms, instead of the usual ugly squares typical for XP production.

A rail connection north to Mount Augusta was established as one of the first international rail lines on the server. Running underneath Doom City, the unauthorised line was discovered by Doom when several raiders used the tunnel to bypass border snitches. This served to actually improve the relationship between both nations following negotiations, and the rail line was allowed to stay.

A public factory room was set up in Shiroyama, and then Komuin [[Bronnakus]] continued to encourage settlement and the construction of houses. New parts of the city were seeing growth, and the SpeedyJustice Manor Neighborhood began to take shape at this time with the construction of the eponymous manor.

Wanting revenge, Vah re-geared and made the long trip back to Shiroyama from his bunker in the Fellowship, obbybombing downtown Shiroyama with a stack of IRO<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w9agx9/notable_pissbaby_vah_dies_to_naked_newfriends_in/</ref> before being chased off. This was easily cleaned up with the help of allies, and peace temporarily returned to Shiroyama once more. For the next short while, due to [[Vah]] being banned, Shiroyama expanded and welcomed the businesses and embassies of many nations. This peace was enjoyed but it was known it was temporary. Upon the end of [[Vah]]'s ban, raids returned intermittently, with several raiders joining the group over the coming weeks, most notably [[Ez2Clutch]], following his pearling and subsequent betrayal of [[Estalia]] upon being released by [[Rhode Island]]. Nara's activity and relative wealth made it an obvious target for attacks, in addition to Vah's historic defeat in Shiroyama. With the assistance of regional allies in the [[Alenarith Forum]], damage to Shiroyama was light. The raiders did successfully kill many Narans, claiming the loot they dropped before running away. This included RezzyDaddy, who was moving house from MTA when he was caught in Dalgon carrying two stacks of diamond blocks<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wochal/bounty_doesnt_go_up_if_you_steal_all_their/</ref>.

In early August, the province of [[Q'Barra]] was formalised<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wgurqg/qbarra_naran_exclave/</ref>, with Earyx spearheading the claim and being promoted to Daimyo of the region. This left Nara with two formal provinces, with Bronnakus being promoted to Daimyo in early July. The government also saw some reshuffling, with [[JeyHey]] joining as Komuin of Infrastructure, and [[Greltam]] replacing Dynamiczbee as Komuin of Agriculture owing to his predecessor's inactivity. JeyHey did not remain as Komuin of Infrastructure for long, replacing Ukai. The Infrastructure position was converted into a citizen-led Infrastructure Committee, consisting of [[Asakuun]], [[Toshiba Laptop]] and [[MythicPatronymic]]. This committee started planning work for a cross-continental rail to the north-west, which started construction and was named the Shiroyama North to Arsenio, Caliphate and Commonwealth (SNACC) line.

=== The Southern Border Kerfuffle (August 2022) ===

During August 2022, Naran citizen [[Saren_Solaris]] was searching for bunkers belonging to the raiders harassing Nara and strayed into Gensokyo. He was immediately confronted in DMs by [[Topaz4293]] and was told to leave. Saren chose to /ignore her, but did turn to leave. Enraged at his decision to ignore her and his prior conduct<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wyni7i/a_response_to_nara_evidence_included/</ref>, Topaz ordered Ferro_Vir and Asumaru to pearl Saren. In the resulting skirmish, Saren dropped both Ferro and Asumaru<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wv5jzh/two_gensokyo_menace_jumps_me_at_their_border_and/</ref>, securing both pearls. Due to a server bug, Ferro was pearled yet still free, and he returned to the scene to re-gear. Saren re-engaged with him and chased him down to secure the pearl in Tenseimiya. This caused a boiling-over of tensions with Gensokyo<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wyea10/interim_statement_on_dnagensokyo_relations/</ref>, whom already had grievances against Nara for their perceived failure to temper or otherwise remove Saren for his conduct referring to Asumaru. Gensokyo and later Mount Augusta would leave the Alenarith Forum in protest, and in a discussion mediated by Lowtuff between both nations' leaders failed to agree on terms both parties considered reasonable. Both Saren and Asu were banned, and Gensokyo went on an extended hiatus for several months as a result. Following [[Danzilona]]'s declaration of the territory as a protectorate<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wzgstn/gensokyo_is_now_a_protectorate_of_the_free/</ref>, Ferro was freed in a attempt to ~~mend~~ relations.
