Mingguo

The Jeimei of Mingguo, also more known as just Mingguo, is a country located on the island of Sulawesi in the Indonesian archipelago in an area between southeastern Asia and Oceania. It was founded after Dajiang released its colony on the island as one of the Jiěmèi, or tributaries of the empire, under the guise of agnius06. The country contains only two members, agnius06 and AbolishSuburbs. There are two places of interests to note in Mingren, Mountainside, the largest city and de facto capital of the nation built by AbolishSuburbs, and the repaired ruins of Indonesian tower, built by SoAss while the nation of Indonesia still reigned on the island.

Government
As of this the government structure of Mingguo has not been formalized. However, that does not negate that there is a government upholding the nation. agnius06 is the main leader and he mostly deals with the foreign policy of the nation. AbolishSuburbs is the other leader and he mostly deals with domestic affairs and construction of new projects.

Before Mingren
The island of Sulawesi was originally settled by player SoAss under the nation of Indonesia, where he had claimed around 1/3 of the island on the west side on November 6th, 2020. Four days later he and player JennyBudew would form a short-lived union state under the same name before the latter player would split off from the union and form the country of Dagobah on November 11th. On November 14th, just three days after the previous union being dissolved, Indonesia would form yet another union, this time with the country of Gods, ruled by Shamski in where the country of Wales would be in the real world. The players who were members of Indonesia began being known for being toxic and annoying, claiming themselves to be the strongest nation in the world and showing off by building a gigantic stone tower and incomplete road of sorts just within a few days. That same day of unification, Indonesia would declare war on the United Territories of Northern England, which would turn out to be a swift victory for the Indonesians.

The antics of the members of the country increases tension among them and other countries throughout the world, which would reach a breaking point on November 17th, 2020, when Holland declare war on Indonesia with volunteers from 10 other countries coming on their side. During this war Indonesia has declared war upon every country that had members who volunteered on the side of Holland, which was a strategy that would ultimate contribute to their demise. By the next day, the belligerents involved signed the Treaty of Amsterdam, which ruled that Indonesian had to be disbanded, the territories held by the country, which included Sulawesi must be given to the United Provinces of Holland, and that members of Indonesia were barred from creating another country in North America, Central America, Europe, and Asia.

From November 18th until January 9th, 2021, the island of Sulawesi kept calm, with nothing much happening except the establishment of a creeper disc farm built by bonito_pibb and AbolishSuburbs and the construction of a house by AbolishSuburbs on the island to serve as a retirement home of sorts. However, on January 10th, the country of Holland, which owned Sulawesi, joined the Roman Republic. The unification was confusing in regards to the status of island, however it was then clarified that it had belonged to the Roman state of Belgica. The rule of the Romans in regards to Sulawesi would not as long as Holland's rule, though. Due to long-lasting inactivity and instability, the Roman Empire collapsed on February 11th, 2021. Confusion began to increase in regards to the status of the island with the collapse of Rome occurring. However, by the end of the event, Dajiang was apparently awarded Sulawesi from the leader of the Angevin Empire Goosw.

Independence
After the collapse of Rome concluded, AbolishSuburbs, who went into exile to Naraka after the collapse of Rome, and agnius06, who had fled and had been in exile at Dajiang after a major dispute in Holland, attempted to form a nation in the country of Sulawesi. Sikorskiii, emperor of Dajiang, released the colony they had on Sulawesi as the first of its Jeimei, or tributaries of the celestial empire. AbolishSuburbs and agnius06, under suggestion from Sikorskiii, decided to name the nation Mingren, which is an old Chinese term for the island of Sulawesi. This was the third world in Mappercraft history in which AbolishSuburbs and agnius06 played significant roles in a single nation, with them also being in Zuiderland and Laurentia.

Almost immediately after independence, AbolishSuburbs and agnius06 got to work on repairing the old tower built by SoAss on the island. As of now the repairing process is nearly complete, with minor details still needed to be worked on. Then, AbolishSuburbs decided to start the construction of a town on the small eastern peninsula of the island called Mountainside. The town is de facto capital of the country as of today. The country plays a minor role in the large scale geopolitics of the server, although recently AbolishSuburbs and agnius06 alike have been volunteering in a few wars.

On March 29th, AbolishSuburbs with the agreement of agnius06 changed the name of what was then called Mingren to Mingguo.
