Ossenkirch is a small, but growing nation located in the +, +. It currently just consists of it's capital, Stolstad, cushioned between mountainous terrain, cliff faces, plains, and large overhangs. It is east of Lyra, southwest of Pripyat, and northwest of Rowa, who are all close allies.
Etymology
The name Ossenkirch comes from a combination of the Russian word for "Fall" (Осень, pronounced "osen") and the German word for "Church" (kirche). "Falls Church" is the name of the founder's irl hometown. The Russian-German combination naming scheme is also used in naming towns and buildings.
History
Ossenkirch was founded by user Toxicy, on June 10th, 2018, after leaving Yoahtl. Him and user memeaf found the mountainous plains biome, and settled in. So far, Ossenkirch has been mostly peaceful, and has made alliances with several nearby nations.
Early Alliances
Within the first week of it's existence, Ossenkirch made alliances with the aforementioned Lyra, Pripyat, and Rowa.
"Saving Private Chandi" Incident
On June 20th, 2018, citizen Chandi95 accidentally trespassed into England, and was pearled. Despite there being no warning that England was restricted, he was held for nearly 3 weeks. Eventually, he was released on the conditions that we would deliver a book with his apology to The Order Of St. Marcus. On July 11th, 2018, he met with a member of the Order, user Marcus_Flaminius, at the Voting Tree in Mount Augusta. The transaction was a success, and he returned home with no parade in his honor.
Geography
Ossenkirch is located on a mountainous, dry plains island, high above sea level. (~50 blocks). The island is scattered with jungle and oak trees, and the terrain is abundant of massive cliffs, overhangs, and canyons. Unfortunately, due to it's biome, oak trees and seeds take much longer to grow. Some trees, such as spruce, are impossible to grow there. Despite this, trade with Lyra, which has an abundance of spruce, has made it possible for Ossenkirchians to incorporate more spruce into builds.
Cities, Outposts and Settlements
Stolstad
Stolstad is the capital of Ossenkirch, and the oldest city. It includes a town hall, mass storage system, and a bakery. The local police force is the SSPD (Stolstad Police Department.) There are direct rail connections to Lyra and Pripyat, with lines to Dithmarschen, Threepton, Rowa, and Kaga being planned.
Dynapos
Formerly an abandoned melon farm with a small cobblestone hut. Annexed on June 19th, Ossenkirch plans to turn it into a farming town by the coast.
Rekaland
Formerly Riverland, an abandoned settlement a couple hundred blocks east of Ossenkirch. On June 20th, several Ossenkirchians occupied the town and took it over. Ossenkirch plans to rebuild the ruined town, and stay true to the building style of the previous owners.
