Name

The name "Mathaliah" comes from the Arabic word مثالية (mithaliah/mathaliah) meaning exemplary, reflecting the desire to build an ideal, quasi-utopian district within Nebuley.

Flag

Mathaliah’s official flag is a plain yellow 3:1 banner, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.

Regulations

Mathaliah has strict building rules in place to maintain aesthetic consistency and ensure that all constructions contribute to the town's intended look.

History

Foundation

Mathaliah was founded in August 2023 by 16.png samcraft3, with support from 16.png ZEROCONDA. In its early days, Mathaliah consisted only of a bridge and a small "wishing well" with a rules board outlining strict architectural standards. These structures set the tone for the town’s future vision, but despite its promising start, Mathaliah was abandoned shortly after its founding and remained unused until June 2024.

Revival and Expansion

In June 2024, 16.png samcraft3 returned to Mathaliah, initiating its transformation into an active part of Nebuley. The first major construction was the First Mathalian Skyscraper, and the wishing well was dismantled. After the founding of RainyCity, a new town neighboring Mathaliah, a border treaty was signed and the first completed Nebuleyian highway, the RainyCity-Nebuley highway, was completed and linked both towns through Mathaliah. Soon after, the original bridge linking Mathaliah to Nebuley was partially demolished and is scheduled for complete removal, with the end goal of replacing it with a modern subway station that will be more aesthetically pleasing and could serve as a crossing point between Beetopia, Nebuley and RainyCity.

Independence from Nebuley

On October 27, 2024, 16.png samcraft3 secured Mathaliah’s independence from Nebuley through negotiations with 16.png Ingrate, Nebuley's founder. This independence granted Mathaliah full autonomy, enabling it to enforce its own regulations, control resources, and continue expanding freely.
