== Overview ==
TheAgentGamer is the founder and ''His Majesty Crowned Minister'' (King - married to [[Sharkygirl9]]) of the [[Lancastrian Empire]], and is a part of the PirateCraft staff team as a chat moderator/helper. Agent has been around since the mid months of 2015 on PirateCraft and has been active most of the time on the server since he first joined. His main accomplishment have be the creation and furthering of the [[Lancastrian Empire]], often times by sheer willpower despite all odds. He lives in the city of [[Nova Halifax]], a city built built almost entirely by himself, in a palace rested upon the hills of the river valley.

== Background ==
TheAgentGamer was born on what is sometimes referred to as the "old continent." The parents of Agent are unknown at this time but where he lived his first years was most likely on the northeastern shores of the old continent. He later was separated from his parents, reasons again and how that happen are unknown at this time but he was found by a man by the name of [[JMChilly]]. JMChilly basically raised him and taught him the ways of life in this weird and sometimes cruel world. JMChilly would also find another person by the name of [[Gerbology]], and he remains a close partner in crime as you could say with JMChilly. Agent however, after spending a good portion of his late childhood and teen years with JMChilly, would go on to make his own base on his own. The fortress, which was made next to a river just northwest of JMChilly's house, would be the new home for Agent for a while. He also learned skills in mining and construction as he built the walls for the fortress and a mine just on the other side of the river from the fortress. Due to the river's major shifts from low points to high points in water flow from winter to summer, it was difficult to stay in the region and the fortress would multiple times get partly flooded. It was here where Agent decided to say goodbye to his friend JMChilly, pack up, and move out west to the untamed lands of the North Sea where he would find some new friends, and begin the long journey of creating what is known as the [[Lancastrian Empire]].

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours).

It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

[[File:Polaric Sea 12-6-18.png|400px|thumbnail|right|The Polaric Sea 12/6/18]]
The Polaric Sea is one of the farthest north major bodies of water in the main PirateCraft world. It is located in the [[North]] [[West]] portion of the map.

It's name was first coined by [[TheAgentGamer]], with some earlier references (a parody) of one of [[Palmerageddon]]'s ideas of naming. Palmer's idea first was to name the region the "Polar Sea" due to it being near the top of the world and having a major ice mass in the centre, similar to that of the Polar ice caps which characterize the Arctic Circle. Agent then proposed the name "Polaric Sea" due to several reasons. One being that "Polar" is too generic and references the poles, when this sea isn't exactly on the northern pole but close to it. The second and arguably most major reason Agent decided to coin this name for it, was because "Polaric" means stark contrast. This is shown in the fact that on one side of the sea, you have one of the largest ice masses on the server, and on the other, you have massive desert and Savannah biomes.

The Polaric Sea is mostly ice/tundra and spruce biomes with some forest and mountains here and there, giving it a more frosty and cooler feel. It does however contain a fairly large desert and Savannah biome mass, if you are looking for a more warmer feel.

The Polaric Sea is the home to the [[Lancastrian Empire]] and the [[Endorien Empire]], and contains several other nations having some outposts here and there like the [[British Empire]], [[Byzantium]], [[Parrot Lovers]], and various other smaller crews.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancouver]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, (this group was also one of the first crews [[Cysteen]] was in). They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by the pirate group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated the pirate group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, the pirate group would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes. On October the 4th, 2019, [[Agentism]] would be first written onto the wiki.

Agentism

2019-10-05T01:53:57Z

TheAgentGamer:

Agentism is a political philosophy that strongly is based on the works of [[TheAgentGamer]] and the governmental practices of the [[Lancastrian Empire]]. The name was officially coined by [[Harry_Potter1212]] back in mid-2018.

== Ideology ==
Agentism believes that a government is necessary for the continuation of a cultural and stable foundation for the citizenry, and the representation internally. Which is why it tends to allow monarchism in limited form to exist, as the monarch provides a cultural and stable foundation. It believes that the citizenry ought to be free to do as they please, only working with governmental authority for rare construction projects (which are voluntary), or in the rare occasion a call to arms or keep the peace (which may be voluntary or not depending on the scope). In this sense, the government treats all citizens equally, even when naturally some citizens will be richer or more powerful than others.

In this sense, Agentism may seem to agree with [[Colrainism]], with the belief of people having the right to do as they please and a belief that the lower classes should be treated on an equal standing to that of the upper classes. However, it will disagree with Colrainists on the belief of hatred for the "ruling donator elite." Agentism argues that the donator class will naturally and inevitably exist, as it sees true equality impossible naturally and that some people will be necessary for the sustaining of the server. Rather than work against them, Agentism would argue for the alliance with them, or just working your own path without them. Agentism would also argue that it is not hard to overpower the donator class on the server, and that they pose little threat overall to all peoples of the server.

== In Practice ==
Governmentally, Agentism argues for a limited government and bureaucratic engines for a more hands-off approach to internal and citizenry development. It is usually monarchical in nature, with usually another section of the national governmental body being elected like a Prime Minister. Below this is a "Governor" that will oversea a large chunk of territory within the nation. The Governor, and even the few people within the national government, will be able to and have the responsibility to represent the citizenry internationally, settle disputes, and in the unlikely of situations, call to arms. These "Heads" will and sometimes also help plan out the construction of infrastructure and towns, although a large chunk of that is still done within the citizenry itself. Even within these roles that the government plays, it still should task them minimally, allowing for maximized individual and collective citizenry action for the citizenry to maximize its self-reliance and happiness.

Economically, Agentism argues again for limited government and bureaucratic engines for a more hands-off approach to internal and citizenry development. The citizenry ought to have almost full say as to how they make, buy, and sell goods and services. Indeed in a free-market, the citizenry will naturally flow towards the citizenry wanting to own the rights to their own labor in a co-op like fashion, with all rights to assemble anyway they like which includes Unionization. With this, Agentism still allows the creation of capitalist business entities, however it believes overtime with a true free-market, the power of co-op and unionization, and the removal of governmental defense, that capitalist businesses will have no real ability to form large and abusive corportist entities and instead stay in safer forms unable to profit off of wage slavery.

Religions, Cults, and Political Philosophies

2019-10-05T00:44:41Z

TheAgentGamer: /* Philosophies */

PirateCraft has always had a sort of underlying collection of 'Religions', 'Cults' and 'Political Philosophies' within it's vibrancy.

Religions, cults, and philosophies are all internal movements among players that aim to covert other players; whereas political movements reflect player opinions on the status of the server.

== Religions + Cults ==
'''Definition: A belief in a certain system or worship'''

* [[Church of England]] - a religion reflecting the real-life Church of England, used by [[British Empire]]
* [[Church of Missive]] - a religion centered around the automated message bot, Missive
* [[Cystianism]] - a religion centered around the player [[Cysteen]]
* [[God's Blade Cult]] - a growing cult of players that worship God, focusing on violence and sacrifice to spread their religion.
* [[Order of St Ender]] - a religion centered around The End
* [[Order of the Sun]] - a rival to St Ender, centered around the Sun
* [[Shockerboyism]] - a religion centered around [[Shockerboy169]]
* [[Shrekism]] - a religion centered around Shrek
* [[The Crusty Carol]] - a religion centered around Carol, the one true God

== Philosophies ==
'''Definition: a theory of attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour'''

* [[Agentism]]
* [[Colrainism]]
* [[Endorism]]
* [[PEA|Leafy Greens Movement]]

== Political Movements ==
'''Definition: a philosophy on the server as a whole, as opposed to internal roleplay. Essentially, viewpoints on what path the server should take.'''

'''Anti-pvp:'''
* [[Empirism]] - a movement that believes the server favors pvpers too much, and push for a less pvp-orientated agenda.
* [[Passivism]] - a movement aiming to reduce levels of pvp via stricter rules, removing siege, or removing pvp altogether.
'''Centrist/neutral:'''
* [[Conservatism]] - a movement aiming to keep the current status quo of drama, and ensure both pvp and non-pvp playstyles remain equally viable.
* [[Cysteenism]] - a movement aiming to more strongly moderate toxicity and drama as a whole, and create a more friendly environment (''not to be confused with [[Cystianism]]'').
'''Pro-pvp:'''
* [[Shrekism (political)]] - a movement that believes the server favors 'passive players' and builders too much, and push for a more pvp/battle-orientated agenda.
* [[Anarchism]] - a movement aiming to strongly reduce staff moderation, influence on drama, and number of rules.
'''Other:'''
* [[Renaissance]] - a movement favoring resetting the Piratecraft world to offer everyone a fresh restart.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first make up the term [[Agentism]] to describe the various political and philosophical concepts created and discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] in the Cathedral at [[Nova Halifax]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The [[Royal Lancastrian Navy]] would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members total by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]].

Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it.

While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The Lancastrian Navy would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Evergreen Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The Lancastrian Navy would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] returns in early August of 2019 and with the help of [[Harry_Potter1212]], they reform and bring the official government of the Empire back on course. Harry starts expanding the town of [[Numenor]], building up the infrastructure in the surrounding region, and start making Tutiora Loca Numenoria. While that is going on, Agent begins making [[Port Vancovaria]] an official port. Agent would then on August the 25th marry [[Sharkygirl9]] to form the first official Royal Family of the Lancastrian Empire. With the teamwork of the new Government of Lancastria under Agent, Sharky, and Harry, they would recruit and grow the Empire massively to the largest extent it has ever been in its history. During mid-September, iwanio and Agent would venture north to enlarge their claim around [[Katcsu]]'s island from just her island, to the entire islandic archipelago within the region. It would be named the [[Northern Archipelago]], and iwanio would be sworn in as the first Governor of the whole province. By the end of September the crew would reach around 17 active members, and a territorial extent that included multitudes of cities, villages, and forts. The Lancastrian Navy would also be expanded, with it now have many different types of warships and cargo ships, varying many different sizes.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen.

The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Harry starts expanding the rural district of [[Numenor]]. Agent starts making [[Port Vancovaria]]. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Harry begins work on Tutiora Loca Numenoria. Ye that's about it I'm too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===

[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Harry starts expanding the rural district of [[Numenor]]. Agent starts making [[Port Vancovaria]]. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Harry begins work on Tutiora Loca Numenoria. Ye that's about it I'm too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Harry starts expanding the rural district of [[Numenor]]. Agent starts making [[Port Vancovaria]]. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Harry begins work on Tutiora Loca Numenoria. Ye that's about it I'm too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

The Lancastrian Empire (Lancastrian: Imperial del Lancastria), (tag: LE), is an Empire/Nation that was first founded on PirateCraft in mid-2015 but has multiple times throughout its history been nearly forgotten about and then reborn into the limelight. At current times the Lancastrian Empire is active and if you want to join you have to contact [[TheAgentGamer]].

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in mid 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northern region of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Harry starts expanding the rural district of [[Numenor]]. Agent starts making [[Port Vancovaria]]. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Harry begins work on Tutiora Loca Numenoria. Ye that's about it I'm too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

== Overview ==
TheAgentGamer is the founder and ''His Majesty Crowned Minister'' (King - married to [[Sharkygirl9]]) of the [[Lancastrian Empire]]. Agent has been around since the mid months of 2015 on PirateCraft and has been active most of the time on the server since he first joined. His main accomplishment have be the creation and furthering of the [[Lancastrian Empire]], often times by sheer willpower despite all odds. He lives in the city of [[Nova Halifax]], a city built built almost entirely by himself, in a palace rested upon the hills of the river valley.

== Background ==
TheAgentGamer was born on what is sometimes referred to as the "old continent." The parents of Agent are unknown at this time but where he lived his first years was most likely on the northeastern shores of the old continent. He later was separated from his parents, reasons again and how that happen are unknown at this time but he was found by a man by the name of [[JMChilly]]. JMChilly basically raised him and taught him the ways of life in this weird and sometimes cruel world. JMChilly would also find another person by the name of [[Gerbology]], and he remains a close partner in crime as you could say with JMChilly. Agent however, after spending a good portion of his late childhood and teen years with JMChilly, would go on to make his own base on his own. The fortress, which was made next to a river just northwest of JMChilly's house, would be the new home for Agent for a while. He also learned skills in mining and construction as he built the walls for the fortress and a mine just on the other side of the river from the fortress. Due to the river's major shifts from low points to high points in water flow from winter to summer, it was difficult to stay in the region and the fortress would multiple times get partly flooded. It was here where Agent decided to say goodbye to his friend JMChilly, pack up, and move out west to the untamed lands of the North Sea where he would find some new friends, and begin the long journey of creating what is known as the [[Lancastrian Empire]].

The Lancastrian Empire (Lancastrian: Imperial del Lancastria), (tag: LE), is an Empire/Nation that was first founded on PirateCraft in mid-2015 but has multiple times throughout its history been nearly forgotten about and then reborn into the limelight. At current times the Lancastrian Empire is active and if you want to join you have to contact [[TheAgentGamer]].

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]].

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city.

Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going.

The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]].

On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more.

In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]].

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Fourth Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2019_9-7-2019.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Fall 2019]]
[[TheAgentGamer]] comes back and with [[Harry_Potter1212]] they reform the Lancastrian Empire. Then Agent marries [[Sharkygirl9]] to form a royal family. Ye thats about it im too tired right now to write anything else more creative.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more. By early January, the Capital Palace had begun construction, and the walls for [[Nova Halifax]] had also begun construction.

=== Freezing of the Winter ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Sping_2018_4-30-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Early Spring 2018]]
Between the time from January into April of 2018, the growth of the Lancastrian Empire had frozen greatly and in fact, decreased. Most of the members that were around December had gone somewhat inactive and left the nation with only around 4 main active members that were on at least a couple times per week. Growth in construction of major projects had also slowed, however out in the eastern part of the homeland provinces, [[Harry_Potter1212]] had begun construction on a new city he named [[Numenor]]. [[Furgishmishgurr]] had also begun construction out in this eastern area as well, building a fort and floating house. In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]]. Going into more of April, [[TheAgentGamer]] would work with [[Furgishmishgurr]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] to make a new homeland province just for them, called [[Easteria]]. This new province would include Harry's city of [[Numenor]] and Furg's fort and floating city and as the name suggests, would be on the eastern side of the [[Homeland Region]].

Going into May of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire found itself with a plethora of new allies, the major one being [[ASN]], run by Queen [[CookieSoul]]. With that being said, less attacks where carried out from various pirate crews leading to much more smooth sailing, construction wise, for the members of the Lancastrian Empire. Like for the city of [[Nova Halifax]], the Lancastrian Historical Society building was finally finished on May the 25th. And while the Lancastrian Historical Society had been around for over a year with various historical documents and machines, the official building/storage unit was finally built in the capital city. It would also be around this time that [[Harry_Potter1212]] would first begin to create the concept of [[Agentism]], from some of the political concepts discussed by [[TheAgentGamer]].

[[File:Nova_Halifax_Fall_2018_9-3-2018.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Late Summer 2018]]
Continuing on into the late summer of 2018, the Empire saw another dip in overall activity within itself and from its allies. Despite this, [[TheAgentGamer]] and [[Harry_Potter1212]] continued to work hard to finish their cities respectively. [[Nova Halifax]] and [[Numenor]] at this time had most of their city buildings finished and where in the process of finishing up their walls. Thankfully at this time, due to the acquiring of God Tools (diamond pics/axes/shovels with maxed out enchants) and a plethora of iron, stone, wood, and other resources, both Agent and Harry could focus almost exclusively on building their cities and little with resource gathering.

=== End of the Third Era ===
In the fall of 2018, the Lancastrian Empire began to have an increase of activity. Several new members, like [[nitro77live]], [[Treeboy2000]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], would join the Empire to help build it up and increase its size and strength. The city wall of [[Nova Halifax]] would finally be finished in late September. Thanks in part to both [[Harry_Potter1212]], and [[Storm_Ryder8]], who both were able to copy the design that [[TheAgentGamer]] made for the wall and build some sections of it to help speed up the completion process. On top of that, [[Treeboy2000]] would find a skeleton grinder underground just upstream from [[Nova Halifax]] near [[River Halifax]]. The grinder was unclaimed, and thus Tree and Agent would work to build an xp grinder around it, making it able to produce xp for them. This in turn would be used by both [[Treeboy2000]] and [[DrAndrew]] to make G-Sets for the Empire.

By Thanksgiving, the walls of both [[Numenor]] and [[Nova Halifax]] would be completed. With Numenor's being completed on the 21st/22nd, and Nova Halifax's on the 24th. Growth continued at a stable rate until around January of 2019 when [[TheAgentGamer]], some of its more long term members like [[SaiTheGuy1011]] and [[Katcsu]], and some of its newer members like [[Storm_Ryder8]] would greatly slow their activity on PirateCraft. This is most likely due to various bureaucratic problems from the capital, as well as outside sources that began to plague the Empire. These problems plagued the western portion of the homeland a lot more and this region began to fall apart, threatening to bring down the entire Empire with it. One of the Empire's more loyal officials from the eastern portion of the homeland, [[Harry_Potter1212]], would break away from the decaying Empire and form the [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire Of Numenor]], capitaled in [[Numenor]]. The purpose was to try and revive the Empire from the eastern portion as this part of the Empire was still mostly thriving. Harry would also during this time stumble across [[iwanio]], and together they would try to strengthen what was left of the Lancastrian Empire.

=== Explanation of how Government Functions ===
The Lancastrian Empire is by most definitions a constitutional monarchy, but with some degree of changes. The Crowned Ministers, either be the King or Queen of the main bloodline decent, hold some power within the Lancastrian Empire, but their power is shared with that of the Prime Minister and if possible the Vice Prime Minister. There is then the Council of Ministers that acts like a Parliament, but they are selected by the Prime Minister just like the Vice Prime Minister when they are running for office. The Crowned Ministers, Prime Minister, and Vice Prime Minister are known as the Executive Branch, and the Council of Ministers are known as the Parliamentary Branch.

== History ==
=== Time Before Empirehood ===
The story of the Lancastrian Empire all started in early 2015 when [[TheAgentGamer]] joined the server, he joined as part of a small crew made by [[JMChilly]], which was made up of people from another server who came to PirateCraft for just some survival fun. They set up a large structure which was basically a large stonebrick structure along the coast of the mainland in the Northeast Quadrant of the map. It had multiple levels inside with a main room pretty much in the center that was multiple stories and took up most of the building. The main room was made up of lots of levels of farms, the plants in the farms where pumpkins, melons, wheat, and some others. Besides the main room there was private rooms for each person and storage rooms with lots of chests that where on all the levels and each room was fairly small, only 1 level high and not that wide. They eventually also built a dock and built some small ships for the dock and some cannons. But disaster soon struck as about a month or so after they started the project, they where attacked. Now the construction for the stonebrick structure and dock where done but they still did damage, mostly just with burning the ships and dock since both where made out of wood and wool. The dock was for the most part repaired but [[TheAgentGamer]] decided to just adventure out and make a small mine and also a fort (though the fort was never finished). The small finished mine and partly finished fort still exist on the map to this day.

=== First Era (The Founding) of the Lancastrian Empire ===
Eventually [[JMChilly]] as well as everyone else but [[TheAgentGamer]] who where apart of the small crew left PirateCraft. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to go solo and just continue mining and gathering resources at his mine and partly completed fort. This continued on for a while until [[TheAgentGamer]] got two new friends, [[SnowTrooper7]] and [[Alphaology]], to adventure out west to the other side of the main continent to create the capital city and to found the Lancastrian Empire. A spot at the delta of two rivers along the coast in a bay area in the Northwest Quadrant was chosen. Once there, the first Lancastrian Empire was founded in mid July 2015, literally a few minutes before the HOICSquad hacker attack happened to Minecraft (which was a hacker attack that shut down all of Minecraft for 8-10 hours). The timing of this founding is somewhat humorous.
After all that drama with the founding and after that the HOICSquad hacker attack, things went well for a while as the rivers where drenched out and made wider and deeper for a port, and the land in and around the delta was flattened and deforested and houses, governmental buildings, docks, and ships where built, partly built, and planned to be built.

Sadly however, it would only be a few weeks after the founding and construction of the capital city that a small group of Pirates would come into the bay area, and attack the small capital city. The Pirates would deforest and flatten an area on the northern side of the bay, which was the opposite side of the bay to the Lancastrian capital city. The Pirates would build a huge fortress made out of stone, stonebrick, netherbrick, and some other things and would eventually build a large Hydra symbol, which the Lancastrians would eventually find out that the group of Pirates that just built that were some large group controlled by [[Cysteen]]. They would continuously attack and plunder the Lancastrian Empire and eventually the Lancastrians called for help. It is not remembered who came to burn down, block-aid, and destroy part of the fortress made by [[Cysteen]]'s group in response to the call for help from the Lancastrians, but seeing that the [[British Empire]] had their major town of [[Gloomsbay]] nearby, and that they also hated [[Cysteen]]'s group, it is likely that it was the [[British Empire]] who came to the Lancastrians aid. But even with outside help, [[Cysteen]] would continuously build the fortress larger and larger and would continuously loot and destroy the Lancastrian capital city over and over until everyone, including [[TheAgentGamer]] who was the leader of the Lancastrian Empire at the time, left the Lancastrian Empire and the server. The site of the first capital city and attempt would be rolled back due to the long period of inactivity by [[TheAgentGamer]] and his friends and today its just a delta of two rivers in a very forested area with an abandoned cabin nearby.

=== Second Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
About a year later after the Founding and eventual failed attempt of the First Lancastrian Empire, during the winter and spring of 2016, the second attempt at the founding of the Lancastrian Empire was made. [[TheAgentGamer]], the founder and ruler of the first attempt of the Lancastrian Empire, came back to PirateCraft. Sadly though his friends from the first attempt never came back, but [[TheAgentGamer]] would find some new friends, and move further south from the first attempt of the capital city, though this second attempt would still be basically in the Northwest Quadrant of the server, it was a bit more south. The new capital city (which I think was named New Halifax) would be founded in the delta of a small river along a secluded lake that was right next to the ocean. The construction of the capital city would go along well for a while, but the large hills in the area would greatly slow down the flattening process and thus be one of the reasons why the second attempt of the capital city would take a lot longer.

[[File:New_Halifax_Winter_2016_6-13-2016.png|400px|thumbnail|right|New Halifax (Note: this is a different city built at a different location than the current Nova Halifax) - Late Winter 2016]]
Eventually within a few weeks the Lancastrians would get raided from time to time, but not as badly as during the first attempt, which would be due in part because there wasn't really a large crew trying to kill them continuously, and the Lancastrians would get an ally that would fight with them, trade resources with them and ultimately be the first true ally of the Lancastrian Empire in its history. Sadly however, the name of the crew is forgotten but the person who ran it wasn't, and the leader's name was [[Asterity]]. [[Asterity]] and her brother would run a large kingdom just north of the Lancastrian capital, and it was very large scale. The alliance would be very useful, with roads and railroad networks built between the two and both nations would go on resource adventures and such, of course not everything was so uphill and happy, both nations still most of the time did their own thing, but the alliance between the two nations was fairly strong. It was also during the second attempt that the Lancastrians would also build their first colony, a small trading town just northwest of the capital at the entrance/exit to a canal that connected 2 oceans. The small town still remains there to this day and still has a small shop there, although it is not known if the shop still has resources to trade or not. Besides the first ever real colony/actual second city, the Lancastrians also built a small hydroelectric dam upstream of the same river as the capital city was along, the dam and the lake it creates still exists to this day. Eventually over a few months the Lancastrians would get bored of PirateCraft and virtually all the members over time left, and the capital city would be abandoned as well as its colonies for many months until the beginning of the third attempt. The capital city would be rolled back during the third attempt at request by the [[TheAgentGamer]] after he took all major resources out of it. As of now all that exists of the capital from the second attempt would be part of the wall and gate that extends into the lake.

=== Third Era of the Lancastrian Empire ===
[[File:Nova_Halifax_Summer_2017_11-18-2017.png|400px|thumbnail|right|Nova Halifax - Summer 2017]]
Beginning in the early summer of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back again, and this time to truly set a foot down to finally get a true Empire going. [[TheAgentGamer]] obtained some friends, the two that of which would help the most being [[KaTcsu]], [[ChibiDoge]], and [[SaiTheGuy1011]], and set out to unclaimed territory further northwest than the capital city of the second attempt. As of the time of the third attempt, the PirateCraft world increased its world border so now more land existed in the world and thus, the Lancastrians found the perfect spot in the new lands to found and construct their capital. [[TheAgentGamer]] would travel back and forth, sometimes with [[KaTcsu]], to get the resources out of the vault from the second attempt's capital city and move them to a new vault made in the new capital city of the third attempt. The capital city first would be a bunch of random houses randomly spread around in the river valley area of the capital but then [[TheAgentGamer]] would calculate and plan out a city structure with roads, houses, public buildings, and so on. It would also be around this time that [[TheAgentGamer]] would begin his plan of conneting up the capital city to the global path network that the [[British Empire]] made a while back.

Eventually three other people would join, [[DrAndrew]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], and they would help gather resources for the construction of the capital city and after a few weeks they would leave to make their own group, the name of which is unknown at this time. The other members would eventually start to do their own adventures and make their own overseas towns and such when the construction of the capital city was doing very good, but would still remain within the Lancastrian Empire. Some people would from time to time try and attack and raid the capital city but it would be fairly rare. Eventually after a few months and getting near the end of summer everyone that was in the Lancastrian Empire at the time would leave for their own life reasons and once again the Lancastrian Empire would go inactive, but only for a little while.

During the fall of 2017, [[TheAgentGamer]] came back, the reason he was gone for a few months is of unknown but he came back due to increased activity by some of his crew members, most notably [[KaTcsu]] and [[RainbowInferno]]. This lead [[TheAgentGamer]] to decided to finish the dream of the Lancastrian Empire once and for all. By November, [[Nova Halifax]], the capital city of the Lancastrian Empire, had grew almost twice its size and had now shops, factories, and its own tavern that produces its own alcohol. On top of that by early December the arena was built, and so eventually was the parliamentary building and other notable buildings that would be needed for a capital city. By this time the Lancastrian Empire hit new heights in its overall population. With the first time in history getting over 10 crew members in mid-late November and first time getting over 20 crew members by early December. Notable names of people that where part of this new Lancastrian growth spurt, were [[TheAgentGamer]], [[RainbowInferno]], [[HeilHouseSoviet]], [[DrAndrew]], [[Furgishmishgurr]], [[Thegrimhunter2]], [[Harry_Potter1212]], and many more.

In the [[Lancastrian Bay]], [[Peppykiss395]] and [[Shockerboy686]] started construction on a group of floating islands way up in the sky. In the beginning of it, [[Shockerboy686]] started building it only 20-25 blocks or so above the water, which would block ships. After a series of negotiations, he moved it up over the clouds around 70+ blocks above the water, making it less of a nuisance for ships. [[TheAgentGamer]] would then take part in the construction of the islands that he would eventually name the [[Heaven Islands]].

Numenor is a town within the [[Lancastrian Empire]] (and the capital of the once [[LEON|Lancastrian Empire of Numenor]]0, and is the largest town within the Lancastrian province of [[Easteria]].

Numenor was founded by [[Harry_Potter1212]] in the early winter of 2018 on a rocky cliff area, overlooking the southeastern part of the [[Lancastrian Bay]] and the main canal connecting the [[North Sea]] to the water regions of the far northwest. The town had its beginnings as a strategically located fort/village as it oversaw and sat right next to, the canal opening, thus giving the Lancastrians oversight and control as to who went through the canal. Over the next several months, [[Harry_Potter1212]] would build up the city adding in houses, buisnesses, ports, a lighthouse, a church, and even his own palace and throne for himself. During the mid-spring of 2018, the region that Numenor was in was changed from being apart of the larger province of [[Centreal Valley]], to a newly created province called [[Easteria]]. Numenor at current is the largest population center within [[Easteria]], and is the capital city of that province.
