Egypt

Egypt, sometimes also called the First Egyptian Empire, was one of the first countries to be established on the VMJ World, and was ruled by Nicksey. It also once included such high-profile members as Vegatable (the previous owner) and MintyMichael. Located in IRL Egypt, the nation slowly grew and improved its lands. It took a neutral foreign policy, but was generally against large or aggressive nations. It did not border any nations. It featured a large obelisk and large pyramid.

Egypt was part of the first wave of nations to be established, and quickly made itself out to be one of the major powers, with a big city and pyramid made in the first week of the server. However, Egypt kept itself relatively isolated, which kept it out of major events in Europe.

After Bigmanland was destroyed, Sazo migrated to Egypt, which allowed him to join on the condition that he would be a little more chill. This started Egypt on a path to relatively cold relations with the majority of Europe, specifically Holland and the Balkan Empire. Luckily, due to the arrival of Shamski and SoAss, Europe's attention was diverted elsewhere. However, Egypt's neutrality would be violated during the Second Coalition War, when Nicksey, the leader of Egypt, volunteered for Holland. Indonesia declared war on Egypt in retaliation, and unfortunately parts of Egypt were griefed. Ultimately, the war would end in a victory for the Coalition and led to greater Egyptian presence in European affairs.

However, this would not go well for Egypt in the end. After the Balkan Empire and Neva combined into the Slavic Empire, the leader of Egypt decided they had gotten too powerful. In what was perhaps the most tenacious act in Mappercraft history, Egypt declared war on the Slavic Empire and destroyed their 20+ player nation with only 2-4 players. The Slavic Empire was destroyed, Neva was released, and Bulgaria became a vassal of Egypt. Unfortunately, a few days later it would be discovered that Vegatable, the owner and host of the server, and Nicksey, who was a moderator, had abused their positions as staff. They were both demoted, and many players from Egypt left for other nations, or left the server entirely. Egypt was left with effectively 2 players: Nicksey and Sazo. Following this revelation, Egypt ceased to be relevant in any international affairs.

Later, Sazo would be made leader of Egypt, as Nicksey was taking a bit of a break from the server.

Sazo eventually left the world and was permabanned for unrelated reasons, but not before coming back as ndw to form his own nations

With no active players, the nation of Egypt was officially disbanded and taken off the map on December 14th, 2020.
