Ossenkirch is a small, but growing nation located in the +, +. It currently consists of it's capital, Stolstad, the basin city of Rekaland, and the farming town of Dynapos, all cushioned between mountainous terrain, cliff faces, plains, and large overhangs. It is east of Lyra, southwest of Pripyat, and northwest of The Thalassocracry

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 and Pripyat.

"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. On the flip side, wheat grows very quickly. With the construction of the Uber-Farm in Stolstad, wheat has become a large export and source of food (as bread) within Ossenkirch.

Cities, Outposts and Settlements

Stolstad

Stolstad is the capital of Ossenkirch, and the oldest city. It includes a town hall, mass storage system, rail station and a bakery. The majority of the population currently lives in Stolstad. (~14, mostly the more active citizens.) The local police force is the SSPD (Stolstad Police Department.) There are currently direct rail connections to Lyra and Pripyat, with lines to Dithmarschen, Threepton, Rowa, and Kaga being planned.

Dynapos

Dynapos, before the tree farm was put in place.

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. Currently, it is being used as a massive oak tree farm, and produces most of the nation's charcoal. The melons have since been removed.

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 and grow the ruined town, and keep the old buildings intact to preserve them. There are many plans for future infrastructure, but not much work has been done yet, due to resources being implemented into securing the nation, before any real building is done. Currently, only around 4 citizens live in Rekaland.
