Principality of Kirsch

Background
The Principality of Kirsch was a nation in South America founded on February 10th, 2020 and abolished on March 25th, 2020. It's territory is now a part of the Free Empire of Rio.

Early History
Kirsch was established on February 10th, 2020 by the King of Italy, Cambrian_. Cambrian had decided to abandon Italy in favor of Kirsch due to the idea that he was trying to grow Italy in an inefficient way. Instead of establishing borders and filling it with cities, he decided that he would rather build cities and allow the borders of the nation to grow naturally. Italy was given over to Mak4Life, creating the Duchy of the Rubicon. Cambrian_ and madeyousuffer made a small camp called Geiersburg in the center of Kirsch, and began to gather items and upgrade their equipment. After a few days, Cambrian_ began construction of Neue Sansouci, the royal palace of Kirsch. Cambrian_ did all of the building, with madeyousuffer clearing land around it. Members of the Caribbean supplied TNT at one point, which greatly assisted in clearing land.

War With Zuiderland
On February 20th, 2020, Kirsch and Iberia, with backing from the Commonwealth and the Caribbean, declared war on Zuiderland to limit the spread of communism. Several days before, members of Zuiderland had arrived in La Jagua and had essentially taken the city hostage, demanding a ransom from XxMultixX. Although they eventually left, Cambrian_ was worried by this. In addition, using the Dynmap provided to Cambrian_ by Sikorskiii, a drowned farm, a mob farm, and an enderman farm were all discovered to have been built by Zuiderland. This, coupled with the fact that Zuiderland appeared to have vast amounts of enchanted items and other forms of wealth, caused Cambrian_, Tomad, and Sikorskii to believe that Zuiderland was preparing a series of invasions to subjugate the rest of the world and establish communism across the server. After two PVP skirmishes in Malacca in which the Zuiderlanders sided against soldiers of Kirsch, Iberia, the Commonwealth, and the Caribbean, the leaders of those nations believed their suspicions to be confirmed. A few hours after the second skirmish in Malacca, Kirsch and Iberia declared war. They and their backers broke into an underground base in New Zealand and laid waste to it, destroying much of Zuiderland's stockpile of items as well as many farms. They eventually moved on to the city above the base, as well as the capital of Zuiderland on Australia. A vault was also found, which contained several chests of cached items, which were also destroyed. Meanwihile, Zuiderlander troops had caused minor grief in Kirsch and Iberia, but were repelled. This concluded the first day of the war. The second day saw New Caledonia griefed, as well as a controversy over offline griefing. Due to the ongoing changes to the rules at the time, it was uncertain whether or not certain actions were considered illegal or not. For example, all of the Commonwealth volunteers had been banned for griefing Zuiderland illegally, as volunteers were not allowed to grief. That night, while the Kirschites were alseep, Zuiderland completely destroyed Kirsch's newly-made mob farm and heavily griefed the camp at Geiersburg. After a lengthy debate with staff, it was decided that the offline griefs were illegal and they were rolled back, and the perpetrators were banned. The war continued for another day until the maximum time limit specified by the rules was reached, and after 48 hours a white peace was enforced by staff, as well as rollbacks for all nations.
