Dirt Ocean

The Dirt Ocean initiative was started by  jcheese7,  Croakore, and  SadieSadie; it was initially used to make space for the construction of Beetopia University, but the project has since expanded and aims to cover as much ocean as possible with dirt.
The initial call to action occured on 9th January 2024, and the location of the initial project is an extension of Beetopia.

Initially targeted site.

Phase 1 of Dirt Ocean

Slave labor usage

The project was able to take off quickly due to it's use of slave labour, with the assistance of  Ade1ie (who acted as the driver/foreman over the workers) and  1blckhrt, alongside other members, it was ensured that dirt placement was efficient with minimal breaks.
Some players attempted to protest the use of slave labour (some of them forming a protest group known as "TeamCrafters"), but any such attempts to protest were ultimately unsuccessful.

The slave labour was approved by Our Dear Leader  JohnyMuffin, Leader of the UIP  Orknarok_666, Leader of FlatLand  thecow275, UIP Enjoyer  Noggisoggi and RetroMC Developer  notsui.
They visited the dirt fields and offered "encouragement" to the slave workers to continue working hard for the glory of Beetopia and the UIP.

Dear Leader  JohnyMuffin appeared and blessed the slave workers with dirt from the heavens.

 Noggisoggi joined in and dropped iron blocks to the masses below.

this is the reason my business died

Memorial to Labourers

In recognition of their labour, all workers were forced recommended to place a sign with their name on it upon the newly created memorial – it stands as a testament of the power of Beetopia, and the UIP.

12/01/2024: A union between FlatLand was currently being negotiated. Due to their close proximity, Supreme Leader James Cheese the 7th and FlatLand Leader  thecow275 feels that this union would be mutually beneficial and ensure the slave labour can continue indefinitely.

14/01/2024: Beetopia and FlatLand were now connected in union via the Dirt Ocean. May this union between two great nations be fruitful.
