Stoneworks – The Revolution in Minecraft (The Naverechniyan Civil War)

While researching revolutions and rebellions i stumbled across a fun fact one of the earliest conflicts on the stoneworks minecraft world of rathner was a secession and civil war between two neighboring settlements the nation of navarechnia was torn apart and conquered by studying the past we can unlock magics that will aid us

In the future several players have looked back to this conflict in figuring out how to manage a city keep order and cooperate among players because none of that happened here All of these events are a true story on the stoneworks minecraft server the oldest epic history server in minecraft suck it fit mc join now the ip is stoneworks.mcdashdns.com and look below for the discords and patreons the traditional histories of navarechnia hold that on the first day of rathner’s launch

A tribe of players of the nidane race traveled from their homeland in the northeast down to the southern edge of rathner they were led by player comrade max and on the tip of the isolated southern continent he found the perfect place to settle it was a riverine strait that connected a dark

Oak forest plains and swamp to a strategic point of the sea Here the tribe built scattered buildings and walled off the waterway shores to control the beaches on its first day comrade max would call this town vasevograd and it would be the capital of one of the first nations in rathnir navarechnia quickly though the growing vasevograd attracted the likes of bandits bandit

The real j2 came to the city and extorted players for their valuables and their diamond armor the navarechnians kyota and jonah dear resisted this bandit attack but they were eventually killed and their items taken the player whitetrucker stole some valuables from the city and killed some of the inhabitants dogs

What this was a crime against their religion of pavlovism it was because of these dangers that the citizen runner 985 turned a fishing hut out in the sea into something bigger a castle that would serve as the defensive stronghold and treasury of the city of vesevograd and this worked when the real j2

Returned to vesavo grad the damage was much less severe however the success did not breed unity in the navarechnian people in the coming days runner 985 would make this ocean castle his home calling it the new settlement of petersburg just off the coast of vesevograd both territories were subject to prime

Minister comrade max’s laws although the island stronghold increasingly chafed under this regime the record of these events becomes a bit hazy the citizens of vasavagrad and petersburg began to bicker which turned to arguments some didn’t respect the terms of land usage and tore up the beaches and countryside for resources

Runner 985 also approached comrade max about constructing bridges over the river delta to connect the city districts but the prime minister procrastinated in doing so so runner built small wooden ones himself these bridges weren’t large enough to accommodate the city though so comrade max had them torn down without replacing them

Out of defiance runner 985 would build a larger bridge of obsidian across the mouth of the river a building block that basically screams you take an hour out of your day to destroy this bridge so the prime minister did and ordered it taken down and for this runner 985 would ban him

From petersburg just off the shore to his capital runner retroactively declared that petersburg was never part of navarechnia so runner 985 was then expelled from vesevograd though soon after he snuck back into comrade max’s pub and assassinated him navarechnia had before seen petersburg as an extension

Of the city but it was clear now that petersburg would have to be broken and sunk into the ocean both parties started to suffer in the coming days vasevo grad had treasure and gear stored in petersburg now seceding and petersburg relied on vasavagrad for mainland resources though both would build up ways around

This by this point mainland navarachnia found allies of a few nations they had bonds with asharia an emergent empire also settled by nidanei tribes but more importantly vesevograd contacted the vauldrich imperial republic vir at this point was a juggernaut of the server one of the most populated active and built up nations

With a base of hardcore lgbtq players and vir sat just to the east of this simmering conflict so with the southeast empire covering them vesevograd eyed petersburg runner 985 spat the comrade max continue and your nation will vanish and comrade max retorted continue and i will have the world against you

Nice five days had passed since petersburg claimed itself as an independent nation and the tensions between these neighbors had grown so much everyone knew war would break out the vasevograd vir alliance was obviously troubling to runner 985 so he did two things he bought mercenaries from a group called the western host

And he tracked down one of the two presidents of the baldrige imperial republic noodles24601 rauner presented noodles with the reasons for petersburg’s succession the perceived authoritarianism of the prime minister the lack of cooperation among citizens and the threat of war for wanting autonomy some say that these were fabricated others

Say noodles 24601 was lied to by navarachneal regarding the situation either way she had to decide the fate of this country to her west so vir rescinded their alliance with navarechnia and sided with the petersburg rebels the tide of battle was diplomatically turned before it even started

On the evening of october 11th comrade max attempted to open negotiations with petersburg for reintegration and reparations but these fell through so he hired some scattered mercenaries that were on the server and finally he declared war on the rogue petersburg the rebels western mercenaries and vir allies

Gathered within the walls of their ocean stronghold mercenaries on the shore of vesevograd blasted at petersburg with a tnt cannon the walls took no damage though and the combined forces behind runner 985 and the vir general bleak snoot descended on the city by boat by the time they made the passage and landed

Comrade max had ordered everyone to gather their items and make a hasty retreat the navrajneans were scattered into the wilderness when locked off the server entirely petersburg and vi are marched on the evacuated city including the remaining storerooms and guarding against a potential counter-attack ready for any navrechnians or their

Allies to come fight the looming threat was that of ashariya with their shared ancestral ties to navarechnia but little known to the rebels the asharians had no interest in fighting a war against the large nation of vir for they had just finished another series of big

Wars the turtle wars which you can learn more about here petersburg now held the southern coast lands for itself owning vesevograd and expelling the losing side of the civil war from the continent the navarechnians fled back to their ancestral homelands in the kingdom of ashariah which welcomed them with open arms

There they founded the town of mladupole extending asharya’s southward influence after this civil war petersburg negotiated that the lands be added to the waldreach imperial republic as an autonomous territory they built massive farms and stockpiles to make the castle compound self-sufficient but in the months to come voldrich would

Slowly wane crumble and collapse due to lack of leadership though a successor nation of theodoxa remains in control of some islands bordering the old fortress of petersburg in the modern kingdom of cronesia on top of the ruins of the sevograd players salakin 1 and mcballer would come to establish the village

Of new petersburg an homage to the history that was once had in this river delta there’s a few lessons of statecraft to be had here that one should be flexible compromising and generous with their own being so curbs the cycle of escalation before it comes to civil war

But more importantly when you’re a small nation about to get embroiled in a conflict get the big boys on your side You
