History
Origin
Milton is a continuation of an inactive settlement named grassy hills, that was founded somewhere in February of 2021 by
F14O85 (Previously known as MINIMASTER_9) as the President and
Werthesiu as the Vice-President. This settlement thrived for around 2 days until
F14O85 went inactive and never returned to the server. This only left
Werthesiu as the sole player of the nation. This didn't last long as they already went inactive some days later. On the 1st of December 2021,
Werthesiu would return to the game with the thought of creating a new town, as grassy hills was far behind in infrastructure and resources, that the idea of relocating the town was a better idea.
Founding
Milton at start was a small town bordered by the beach. Its first ever construction was the Independece Fountain, which was a small fountain made from sandstone. Also around this time, new members such as
Anubis773 and
Xenon_ne would begin to also settle here, thanks to recruiting by the President.
Attacks
On the 7th of December 2021, a citizen would drop lava on top of the town hall, covering it completely and desfigure it. To the town's relief, the perpetrator of the attack was banned and the building was restored to normal.
Prosperity
Milton was rapidly growing in numbers via recruitment by early 2022, and with the running out of space in the towns core, a new district was created, called New Grassy. Thanks to the immensive contribution by
Xenon_ne, the town managed to build new big homes located south. These actions would award a new district named after them as well as becoming an assistant of the country. New roads would be created to link Milton with neighboring town Paradisia, a nearby Gold Temple and Spawn respectively.
Diplomacy
With its influence growing, Milton also sought to establish relations with other towns in the server. The most notable relation was with SmileyTown, where an embassy was built there.
Colonial Expansion
In August of 2022, Milton, being inspired by bigger nations such as the UIP and Mojang, decided on convincing other towns, mainly small settlements to join the empire. The first settlement to agree being part of Milton was Helsingfors, followed by church and Awesomeness. The four towns would become part of the Grassy Republican Empire
Recession and partial revival
As the months go on, players would begin quitting the server indefinitely including
Werthesiu and
Xenon_ne. At some points in 2023 and 2024 the President would return to the game to then quit for months.
Districts
Milton is divided in three different districts, each with their own different themes built by different players in different time periods.
Old Milton
Formerly known as Grassy Center, is the original town and where the first homes were built. Mostly every buildings were made
Werthesiu but also by many of the citizens joining at the time in order to build and decorate their homes.
Xenon
This district features every of the houses
Xenon_ne built on her time in the town. This district was separated from Old Milton since its style was far different than its neighbour. More than half of players reside in this district.
New Grassy
The second district to be created, it is where most of the planned infrastructure are located at, including the still in progess Grassy Parliament. This district is where every future development shall be located at.
Infrastructre
The infrastructure in Milton is extremely varied in styles build by different players. Most of the towns roads are made with 3-block wide gravel, the only exception being the New Grassy district which is built with 4-block wide cobblestone. There is also an unfinished Metro Line in town.
National Roads
The National Roads are roads which lead out from the GRE to other towns or other specific venues. This sub-section only highlights National Roads that come out from Milton
- N1 - Also known as Milton-Paradisia highway, is the shortest complete road available. It was also the first road ever built in Milton. It starts off after a house where it leads all the way to a port and a bridge to Paradisia. For 2 years the only way getting to Paradisia was by boat, until a bridge was built to facilitate mobilisation.
- N2 - Also known as Gold Temple highway, is the second road built for Milton. It branches out of N1 and it leads all the way to a Gold Temple whose creator is still unknown.
- N3 - Also known as Spawn Highway is the longest road by far in all of the GRE. This road passes through the settlements of NoIdeas, 12333 and SnowHeadVillage where it eventually ends in another highway which goes to Spawn.
- N5 - Also known as Aussig Highway, is an unfinished road which aims to have its destination being Aussig. It shall pass through Wicherki and conclude in Aussig.
