Port Potato under the terms of surrender would be occupied by CSN and her trade was heavily restricted, with a major stoppage to ESE. Eventually, Port Potato was not forced to ever take arms against ESE, or her allies. [[DeDerpyDerp__]] went inactive for a while, as neither of the two others (IronGolem5 and Silver_Wild) had any interest in being on the server anymore.

A tour of the port gone wrong when [[Matlese_Egirl]] sieged the canal area, and when trying to flee to undo the siege, they got kicked from bad wifi. This was the first recorded siege where Port Potato not only was Victorious, but Outlasted her siegers. We did not seek any repercussions as it was "Force of habit." (and we won).

* 8/19/2021 - The [[DNS Southernly Gale]] was rushed back to [[Visitopia]]. She was converted at sea months ago to blockade the CSN *insert name here* 4th rate ship of the line. She was hidden behind an old forgotten naval fortress. She is now in[[Visitopia]]'s main harbor, with her fate either scraping or to be sent to Port Potato, either as a museum ship, or parts ship. She has been dubbed not fit for war.

* 8/21/2021 - Port Potato has started a new project, as apart of the Expansion Era III project; to build a tunnel to connect the two halves of Port Potato to allow for easier access. It was decided to not be ocean level, as it would block the insignificant river and a few non-Port Potato ships into a small "lake". (As so far we have no intel suggesting they are submersible.)

On the same day, Port Potato started a new project to open up Dry Dock 1 to construction of the [[VEN Northernly Gale]]. Soon, upon measuring the tunnel depth, they realized the drydock was deeper then the canal by 1 block, so the [[VEN Northernly Gale]] will be postponed so the drydocks can be updated.

Above 3 blocks above the waterline; sails could theoretically be as wide as you wish; within reason.

Port Potato, after seeing a small railroad North West of Port Potato (The "[[Mithlond]] Railways"); has started building our own railroad.

We now have all the land needed to finish the railroad. We also claimed all the land needed for the plots of the Third Expansion Era. We now plan to add the docks, then add 8 more plot to Southern Port Potato. This would be the last addition to Port Potato, possibly permanently. (Quick math leads to pointing to these final plans adding 11,000 claimblocks to Port Potato.)
