In early August, [[daysant]] had began the construction of a gold farm on New Manhattan in an attempt to artificially hyperinflate the [[Elementia|Elementian]] economy. However, these plans never materialised. Eventually, the farm was decommissioned due to new mechanics for 1.12.2. |

=== The StevensJax Incidents === |

The StevensJax Incidents were a series of events caused by StevensJax.<br> |
|||
==== First incident ==== |
|||
The first major issue happened on the 1<sup>st</sup> of August. StevensJax was settling on the north side of New Amsterdam, directly in the way of the street and a planned bridge. This later resulted in catastrophe, as at roughly at 21:30 (UTC±0), a debate broke out deciding an agreement. During this debate, StevenJax's base was griefed. The next day, ZeBoss07 awoke to find that two houses were destroyed completely and a large obsidian structure (privated with signs) was constructed by StevensJax. This was reported to [[Neil]], who banned StevensJax for a week, however she was the only one banned in this situation.<br> |
|||
==== Second incident ==== |
|||
After being unbanned, StevensJax rejoined the server on the 17<sup>th</sup> and poured water over the NSR terminus' redstone wiring. This was reported to [[Silvesteer]], who banned StevensJax for one month. However while reviewing evidence, StevensJax burned the belongings of daysant, leading to this ban being extended indefinitely. However, during the discussion, the events of the discussion on the 1<sup>st</sup> were brought up again, leading to FlopsyMC being banned for a week, from 17/08/22 to 24/08/22. |

The President may overrule a Governer in certain circumstances. |
|||
* '''Territories''' are subdivisions under control of Novaterra but do not have the capacity to function independently and is not fully integrated into Novaterra. This differs from States, which are fully integrated. They are ruled directly by the President in most cases. |
|||
* '''Protectorates''' are areas which are under protection of Novaterra and have a shared economy, but still function as an independent state. They are ruled by the state's leader. |
|||
New Amsterdam holds special status as the Capital, which serves as a base of operations for the army, treasury, and presidency.<br> |
