Free City of Sleepytown
History
Early in session one, a player known as "Shepherd" established a solitary skybase next to a lake after escaping the desert. During the next two days, two separate groups of players would arrive seeking aid and decide to settle here. The cramped skybase would slowly grow, and the group gathered sheep to make beds, being careful not to die until every person had a bed of their own. At the end of session one,1A, the group would finally decide on the name SleepyTown for their nation, and the people within would be called Albanians. During session 2two a player named "Shima" was tasked to go recruit and guide lost souls at spawn so that they could come to Sleepytown and become productive citizens and benefit from fitful sleep. They also entered the Iron Age with the slow adoption of Iron armour and tools.
As of session 32A the Sleepytown has accepted migrants into their region and started founding sister states such as Riverhold.
Later in session four,2B, the two states confederated into the OphelionOphelon League, which is a confederal union that coordinates trade and defence.
Economy
The Albanian economy is a mixed economy, with trade allowed internally, but ultimately the Commune's decisions take precedent. Jobs are primarily up to the citizens' choice, however, should a need arise or a job be too saturated, one is expected to fulfil or rescind that duty. If something is needed by someone, it would be gathered by others who could get it. The plans for resource collection were determined communally every night, with the priority of levelling up specialists so that the civilisation could progress technologically.
The Albanian economy is a guild-based palatial economy. Occupation is primarily freely chosen by the citizenry, however, should the State Assembly vote on a job crisis in one field, incentives or conditions on naturalisation of new residents may be enforced to help resolve any issues.
The main industries are sugarcane and wool, but with the recent level advancements in the Commune's blacksmith, "Vulki", and the main miner, "Knight", the production of iron-based items is increasing rapidly, with most of the town projected to be fully armoured by the end of the third session and hopefully starting to enter the diamond age.
Currently, with the builder expertise of Riverhold, a ground base is being constructed in exchange for access to Sleepytown's Healers.
Government
No officialThe government exists as of session one. "Shepherd" is helda palatial direct democracy, with a unicameral supreme body in highthe regard,State butAssembly. power is equal among members, with mattersMatters of importance are discussed and voted on.upon by citizens in a Westminster model.
In Session 2A, the government was formed officially due to the population doubling to 17. Shepherd was elected head of state, Ash Shima was elected head of the government, and Vulki was elected home secretary. Under them, class guild leaders who are elected by citizens of that class run the day-to-day operations of the state.
The Head of State is a ceremonial role intended to simplify diplomacy and reception of envoys and emissaries from foreign states. The Head of Government is tasked with facilitating debates, meetings, and votes among the citizenry in the State Assembly, as well as retaining records of matters and settling disputes. The Home Secretary is tasked with overseeing foreign and local affairs with sister states, and has the authority to dispatch envoys to other states.
Amusingly, there is a community complaints board that was recently installed, but it has thus far been ignored.
In Session 3 Shepherd was elevated to head of state, with leader of the assembly Shima and home secretary Vulki. They are tasked with coordinating the direction of the civilisation and making agreements with other civilisations. Under them class guild leaders run the day-to-day matters of state.
Foreign affairs
SleepyTown has begun negotiating trade deals with neighbouring civilisations to exchange their surplus beds for iron and leather. Sleepytown and Riverhold have also joined in a confederation known as the OphelionOphelon League,League to share needs and help with collective defence issues.
Riverhold is the first sister state founded under the guidance and protection of Sleepytown.
They have now made a confederation called the OphelionOphelon League to coordinate trade, plans and defense.defence. With the main diplomats creating relations being Vulki and 420 "no nickname chosen". With Shima's diplomatic efforts beingare directed towards inviting new sister states into the OphelionOphelon League to expand the league's collective defence capacity and facilitate peaceful trading relations.
Military
Currently, the small groupcity is defended by a328 playerBalance. knownA asfederal "Balance".defence force is being proposed to the State Assembly and to the city of Riverhold to remove issues of jurisdiction in the execution of collective defence.
Culture
There exists a ritual to end each session sleeping in a bed, waiting for the server to close. It is highly believed that citizens must have a nickname to facilitate community, with the State Assembly adopting a non-binding resolution to promote this practice.
