__FORCETOC__
Line 38:
== 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.
 
== 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.
 
== Economy ==
Currently, the economy of Ossenkirch is very basic.
 
=== Exports ===
 
==== Wheat ====
Wheat and in conjunction, hay bales, are the main export of Ossenkirch. Due to the construction of the Uber-Farm in Stolstad, automatic mass wheat production is made easy.
 
==== Oak Wood ====
With the construction of a mass tree farm in Dynapos, oak wood, logs, and saplings have also become a large export of Ossenkirch.

[[File:EarlyDynaposOssenkirch.png|thumb|Dynapos, before the tree farm was put in place.]]
Formerly an abandoned melon farm with a small cobblestone hut. Annexed on June 19th, 2018, 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 ===
[[File:RainyRekalandOssenkirch.png|thumb|A Rainy Rekaland, Ossenkirch.]]Formerly Riverland, an abandoned settlement a couple hundred blocks east of Ossenkirch. On June 20th, 2018, 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.
