History

Founding

Otonabee was founded in a small section of unclaimed land on the border between the central desert and the western Khailsan Plateau by a group of real-life friends, establishing the capital city of Lynn, with several skyscrapers quickly being constructed.. A month later, the nation of the Tribalfolk of the Great Mountain were found to be largely inactive , and their lands were divided between the neighboring nations of Miletos, Anvard and Otonabee, causing this new nation to grow substantially.

The Central Powers Alliance

Following several months of a strong connection with their north-eastern neighbors in Varathia, and the rapidly expanding nation of Mount Augusta, Otonabee joined the military alliance known as the Central Powers on the 15th of May 2020. This alliance would later be invoked during the Hell War.

The attack tunnel to break the vault started in north-eastern Lynn, extending up through several nations to the forward bunker.

The Hell War

Main Article: Hell War

With the attack on Varathia by the Hell Gang on the 19th of June 2020, their Otonabian allies rushed to assist as the alliance required. In the defense of the Varathian vault and the offense of the attack bunker near Chungus, the Otonabian soldiers mounted a valiant strike against the aggressors as a part of the initial Varathian-MTA-Cantinan-Blackwater alliance, where two members were pearled in the engagement (one later freed). This initial attack sparked the three day long siege of the Carbon hell vault north of Otonabee, and the nation was an important location in the war, with the allied attack tunnel beginning in Lynn, and surface fighting around the Otonabian constructed Northern Highway. The Otonabian soldiers took to discord and reddit with their goal to free those they had lost, binchymonkey, with cries of '#freebinchy'. In the war, many brave Otonobeeans fought including the now legendary A_E_Sky, who assisted in saving the pearls by breaking diamond-reinforced obsidian naked, with a mere Iron pick.

Expansion Islands

While a small nation, Otonabee was quick to establish a small claim the New World, being invited early to the Berlin Conference and securing the land upon the new continent's discovery. This land changed from the initial claim, with the island off the coast of the claims being exchanged with neighbouring Synlandia, later a state within the Imperial Federation.

Geography

Otonabee is extremely mountainous, largely consisting of Mesa and Desert terrain, making farming and land clearing difficult.

Lynn

Built around the two sources of the vast Vesa River, the modern-styled city of Lynn is the crowning glory of Otonabee, standing stubbornly against the apparent futility of living in such hostile terrain.

Landmarks

Lynn is home to many different landmarks, all of them inside the city itself.

Lynn Clock Tower

The oldest standing tower in the city, the clock-tower stands as a memory to the founding of Lynn. This tower has been acknowledged by the ICPA as a regional heritage site.

Lynn Spire

The most recognisable structure in the city, and the primary commercial location within the city.

The Great Pyramid of Lynn

Primarily a personal residence to the nation's founding president, the Pyramid has extensive public access to the interior gardens.

Dartmouth

Built along the southern Dartmouth river, this residential town houses much of the nation's population.

The Great Mountain

Encompassing the nation's western region, and the nation's Aquanether portal, this region once housed the capital city of Khailsan, Alania. This historical site was controversially demolished by SirCrowley to expand his beet fields.

Gallagher Colony

A small settlement was founded on the new continent of Kingsluund/Ainahou on the southern ice island, colloquially referred to as Crimea. This territory contains a large section of Mega Taiga, allowing the nation to grow carrots.

Farming

Blessed with long stretches of Swampland M along the Vesa and Dartmouth rivers, and Khailsan lake, Beetroots make the primary farming export of Otonabee, along with wool and other animal products.

Mining

With access to an Aquanether portal, Otonabee makes prime copper and nether material land.

Infrastructure

Being one of the larger nations in the South Western region, Otonabee maintains an extensive network of infrastructure.

Roads

The Western Highway was built and maintained by Otonabee, running from Olendor to New Agral. The Northern Highway (later renamed the Hecc Memorial Highway) connects Lynn to the western regions of the continent, between the ex-Savaguard states, and the Wheatistan exclave of Tel Adam.

Rail

The Otonabee Rail Corporation completed a rail line to Olendor soon after its incorporation, and constructed the central station in Lynn. As of August, there are planned future connections to SPQR and Tombstone/Tel Adam.

Canals

With the announcement of the creation of a new continent off the mainland, work quickly begun on docks in Lynn, along with canal connections to the Kamino lake and the town of Old Godhaven in the Imperial Federation.<infobox>
