The United Imperial Provinces (UIP or U.I.P), commonly known as The UIP, is a nation located directly east of Spawn Town. It is a conglomerate of over 100 towns, 3 capitals, and as of writing, 8 active member states. The nation has the server's largest land area, and largest population, exceeding 1,000 players.
History
Early colonization
The first inhabitants of the land that would later become the UIP migrated from Spawn Town in 2018 and traveled east and established towns such as X5TT and Edago. The culture at the time fairly toxic, due mainly to a lack of proper rules and the 'free speech' mentality of the moderation team. The largest of these towns, X5TT was a schematic from the old retrolands map, and it was renamed twice, first to Metro City and finally to Kekistan. These towns developed separately from each other and enjoyed a time of economic prosperity due to Cactus Economy (see Removed features).
Corruption was rampant in the staff team at the time and players like
Drogba32 abused world editing permissions to help make their towns larger and more impressive. This lead to an unprecedented expansion of the towns and they quickly became the largest on the server.
Cactus Economy Uprising
After the removal of Cactus Economy in late 2018, members of Kekistan were in uproar. A certain few members consisting of
Drogba32,
Ekoro,
SewerSpewer,
Radrin, and
Gilbarto began harassing staff. Although two of the members of this group were already staff, they disagreed heavily with the decision to remove Cactus Economy. The constant harassment of the staff team and the increasing 'edginess' of Kekistan and it's members eventually reached a peak when a member of Kekistan was banned for building hate symbols. Kekistan leadership then began making threats against the server, and followed through with them. Crimes such as slur spamming, staff impersonation, attempted DDOS, greifing, and ban evading were done consistently. This uprising led to the permanent closing of the RetroMC Jail, and the release of J-bans.
By December 2018, the uprising was ended when the aforementioned players were IP banned.
Orknarok_666 was given ownership of Kekistan and promoted to Moderator.
Formation of the UIP
The United Imperial Provinces (UIP) was founded in early 2021. The concept was first proposed by disgraced mayor of Amish City,
SovietMcMuffin.
Orknarok_666, then-president of Kekistan, supported this idea. The Imperial Coalition, was a key element of the concept. The Imperial Coalition discord referred to the idea as the "spawn axis". This is because it called for an international coalition of the three largest and most powerful nations located near Spawn. The Prime Minister at the time,
LukeisStuff, would work with mayors across the Imperial Coalition to draft a formal proposal. He worked closely with Okeogian Governor
marioboyrc. Together, they completed a formalized proposal. With a coalition assembly vote of 8-0,
LukeisStuff was permitted to send it to the spawn nations.
The proposal was agreed to with no modifications. The leaders then worked to animate the document by making all the changes to the Imperial Coalition discord as prescribed.
God Emperor Elections
The first God emperor election was a race between Imperial Coalition Prime Minister LukeIsStuff and Amish City mayor SovietMcMuffin. There was also going to be a really cool debate with a really cool stage in the Kekistan stadium with voiced moderators to ask questions. But SovietMcMuffin got upset and decided he wanted to drop out so the very cool debate never happened. LukeisStuff wins the race by default and becomes the first God Emperor of the United Imperial Provinces. He also won the second God Emperor election beating mayor ReelPlot 8-3. After becoming inactive, Orknarok assumed the role of God Emperor by default.
SovietMcMuffin would also go on to do other unfortunate things, read about it here.
