Vasque City

Vasque City, also referred to as just Vasque and formerly called New Armenelos, was the capital city of the Aragan Empire, located in the state of Maryland in and around the real-life Netherlands. It is the third oldest city in Earth World and was one of the most influential cities of its time, especially during later editions. The city was founded by TL as the capital city of Aurania on April 29th, 2015, starting a long history of griefs, rebuilding, abandonment, revival, and swapping hands between nations and leaders. The latest mayor of Vasque City was Wolfkall during Earth World Mark VII.

Founding (EW1)
On April 27th, 2015, during the beginning of the first Earth World, players TL and KKAP co-found Aurania, originally a neutral, isolationist nation "located in a far away place". However, due to having trouble reaching the place they wanted to settle, they began to live vagrantly without a formal settlement. Two days later on April 29th, TL would finally settle down in the Netherlands and began construction on a grand capital for the nation, originally called New Armenelos. On the next day, April 30th, Aurania would dig out a large tunnel from New Armenelos to the Happy Hungry Kingdom (HHK) located in North America. AquaAsdf joined Aurania sometime after its founding and presumably lived in the capital city.

Another player, Extra, joined Aurania sometime during the beginning of the world and on May 1st, he renovated New Armenelos, making it become the largest city on the server during this time. After KKAP left Aurania to join the Praetorian Empire and TL temporarily left the server to "focus more on mapping", Extra would take over leadership of both Aurania and its capital city of New Armenelos. On May 12th, just two days after, TL would return to the server and coup Extra and put himself back in charge of Aurania and New Armenelos. After realizing that KKAP and Asdf left the nation, TL reformed Aurania into the Kingdom of Vasquemia — making himself King in the process — and vastly downsized his nation, letting go all of its colonial holdings. He also renamed New Armenelos to Vasque City, which stuck as the name of the city until this day.

On May 20th, Extra began construction on the "Great Wall of Vasquemia", which surrounded the entire old city of Vasque; on the same day, the population of the city grows as well. Construction on the city continues smoothly henceforth and between June 6th–7th, Extra finishes fortifying the gate of Vasquemia, with the final result having a fort and a watchtower defending the city within. He also planned to construct two more towers, although it is unconfirmed if these towers were actually built or not.

On June 10th, 2015, just under one month after the reformation of Aurania into Vasquemia, a deal between TL and the leaders of Praetoria, batboy1999 and FedexCrafter, was reached, in which the two nations would unite, officially renaming themselves as the Vasco-Praetorian Empire while with it still being informally called Praetoria. The Kingdom of Vasquemia was turned into the Cohort of Vasquemia under this deal and TL became the co-emperor of this new union along with batboy1999. Previously TL had interest in joining Praetoria after returning to the server on May 12th but was initially declined; this time his ambitions were marked successful. Just one day after this on June 11th, another deal was made between TL and Happydance9, leader of the nation of Breton: that Breton would join the Vasco-Praetorian Empire as an autonomous cohort. These two events essentially made Vasco-Praetoria the most powerful and dominant nation of the server and TL decrees the same day that "all non-Vasco-Praetorians... will be purged". Vasque City would play an important role in the new nation it was apart of, being proclaimed the administrative and financial capital, while Lyvonis remained as the military capital. Construction was still rampant in the city, with the walls being improved and reinforced around this period. On June 13th, a further agreement was made between TL and Happydance9, with it clarifying that the latter would rule all the territory in Breton and northern France as ruler of the Breton cohort. Later the same day though, Happydance9 would break this agreement by claiming the Kingdom of England and thereby leaving the Breton cohort. Issues would be resolved the day on June 14th, when TL manages to bring Happydance9 back into the agreement and formalizing the split between the Unorganized Territory of France between the Breton cohort in the north and the newly formed Unorganized Territory of Occitania in the south. On June 21st, the large Vasco-Praetorian capitol building in Vasque City is finished, with Extra constructing the foundations and walls and Java_Sea building the roof. Construction on the city begins to slow down after this point, with it being eventually moderately griefed. Earth World finally ended on July 15th, 2015, with Vasque City starting to become headed in a darker direction.
