Early days[edit | hide | edit source]
Novaterra was founded by FlopsyMC on the 29th of July, 2022, on a medium-sized taiga island, later called New Amsterdam. Initially, Novaterra was a one-man nation, but ZeBoss07 joined on the 31st. ZeBoss07 constructed most of what is now New Amsterdam.
A short while after, a bridge was made connecting to the smaller New Manhattan. FlopsyMC built a house there and several vanilla farms were made, as well as a mine.
In early August, daysant had began the construction of a gold farm on New Manhattan in an attempt to artificially hyperinflate the Elementian economy. However, these plans never materialised. Eventually, the farm was decommissioned due to new mechanics for 1.12.2.

Novaterra was one of the important countries to partake in World War One. Novaterra did not gain or lose anything significant but they did cede the territory of Point Blank.

On 12/2/2023, New Melbourne had declared independence from Novaterra as Westportia. Although ZeBoss07 had allowed independence on the condition that FlopsyMC, the leader, did not declare war on anyone, FlopsyMC had broken the deal by declaring a war.
FlopsyMC shortly after gave leadership over to xClavice, and daysant had annexed New Melbourne back into Westportia.
