Odresh: Difference between revisions

Odresh is a nation in the +,+ quadrant. It's capital city is Odresh City, on the nation's southern coast. It is a direct democracy, with a leader-like position called the Foreign Affairs Representative, or F.A.R., who is reelcted every month. The F.A.R. deals with foreign negotiations, and also has a few other powers to keep the nation together in times of crisis. There is also a Deputy F.A.R., appointed by the F.A.R., who assists in negotiations and assumes the role of F.A.R. in case of pearling of inactivity.

In December 2018, the first section of the previously mentioned rail to the NCA was completed, going from Odresh City to the nation of Phylon. The F.A.R. at the time, Lokilog, had thought the nation to be inactive, due to it's absence from the claims maps and the fact that many of the city's buildings had been broken into, and so the citizens Odresh voted to annex the island 4-2. A few weeks later, a snitch was discovered on the rail near Phylon's station. Upon breaking it, it was discovered that the snitch was placed by OLivay. He was confronted about the situation, and after declaring Phylon to be an active nation, he quickly restricted the city. A few days later, Lokilog and Crusher went to check if any more snitches had been placed, and after finding none, decided to explore the island. They eventually found their way into the rail station, and from there, Phylon's storage area. The small check had turned into a raid, and so Lokilog and Crusher broke into a few chests and destroyed a few noteblock snitches. After realizing OLivay was online, they left the island with three splash potions of healing. Upon returning to Odresh, they knew that a raid was imminent, and so they dropchested their valuables. Indeed, almost immediately after, five raiders from Phylon showed up, pearling Crusher and logboxing Lokilog in the community center. They alerted their friends in Okashima, who asked for assistance from Vinland. They set out to free Lokilog, but most of them didn't know that Phylon's raid had been justified. Upon reaching Odresh, they broke and logbox and freed Lokilog, who escaped and logged out in the NYC station. Over the next two weeks, a trial was held with Askedar as judge, who sentenced Lokilog and Crusher to two weeks in prison pearl. The only reps sentenced were the three potions, the blocks broken, the reinforcement materials, and the mana costs for the two weeks Lokilog and Crusher would spend in prison pearl. On January 5th, 2019, Crusher was released. Lokilog has yet to serve his pearl time due to availability issues between he and OLivay.

After the Odresh-Phylon conflict, Odresh fell inactive, partially because of the opening of CivEx. Five months later, though, in May 2019, Crusher6581 and Lokilog returned to activity. Their first task was to clean up and repair Odresh City, but they soon realized that they could expand and use the Batavian XP and ice farms. As they began to harvest more and more XP resources, Okx from Vinland offered to help them build a simple, single-line rail from Odresh to Vinland. Completed in just two days, a vote was initiated within the [[Northern Coast Alliance|NCA]] to accept Odresh into the alliance, passing on May 13th, 2019. Odresh now focuses on farming XP materials, improving Odresh City, and recruiting new members. They are currently in the beginning stages of what is refered to as 'industrialization' during which they are expanding their XP-production capabilities and gaining a foothold in world politics.

To the west, the Batavian tundra forms a large, flat plain with few trees. Here, Odresh's potato, beetroot, and ice farms lie, left over from the previous rulers of the area. This section of the nation is growing quickly and the XP farms are expanded, and is a center of activity for the citizens of Odresh. Besides the farms, there are a few scatted buildings from abandoned civilizations, but beyond that, the area lacks any other infrastructure. It's border with both the mountains and sea are defined by tall cliffs, increasing travel times. There is a single waterdrop and minecart elevator connecting the tundra to the mountains.

The eastern part of Odresh consists of a vast expanse of desert. As with Batavia, it's border with the mountains consists of cliffs, but is just above sea level, so travel by water is comparatively easy. However, a narrow land bridge to Maltovia means that travelers must sail around Aurora to reach the desert.

As the capital of Odresh, Odresh City is the nation's most active settlement. It has a Community Center and Factory Building, accessable by all citizens. The old Community Center was torn down after the Phylon Conflict to reveal the logbox inside, and will be turned into a memorial of the event. The rest of the town is relatively small, with a medium-sized farm and a few houses.

Batavia was a nation in the tundra to the north of Odresh, but was annexed after they fell inactive and didn't respond to messages. No one lives there, but structures include an ice farm and an abandoned castle-like structure. The elevation change from mountains to tundra and lack of infrastructure makes transportation here difficult, but with the addition of a spruce farm, a waterdrop and minecart elevator were added.
