History
The players who would eventually become the Pitish originally came from a completely frozen up biome, but after sky basing for 3 nights thenights, Player 22 led a large group of migrants out of the tundra to seek warmer lands.
The Protopitish went through a short period of nomadic travel before settling south of spawn after finding a plains biome with a giant sinkhole in the ground next to a herd of sheep. HenceHence, the eventual name of the settlement.
Player 22 immediately set out on directing the early Pitish towards digging pits to secure farm animals, expanding the sky basebase, and securing large amounts of kelp to dry out on campfires as an early game food source. These early time'stimes were fraught with constant deaths, but due to the early game sheep herdherd, a few "Elite" Pitish were able to secure respawn points. Many of these daring strikes were personally led by Participant-22 due to him having claimedclaiming the first bed. They used their access to respawning to clear away mobs after the night to allow the other Pitish to develop the lands around the sky base.
By session 22, construction of the High Tower that would later be dubbed the "Citadelle" began, and slowlyslowly, the Pitish began improving the area. Walls were put upup, and the farmers began constructing the Grand Terraces by the river.
Economy
Pitsberg has a centralized command economy, with most major economic decisions on resource allocation being ultimately decided by the ruling monarch. Resources are produced directly in support of major operations such as construction and gear for miners. All resources are shared on an as as-needed basisbasis, as everyone contributes to the wellbeingwell-being of the settlement. The only market interactions occur through foreign trade and with occasional passersby.
The farmers farm wheat on stone terraces along the riverside, which feeds sheep and cows. AtopAbove thereit is a Sugarcane Farm.Farm, attached to the citadel. Enough food is produced to sustain Pitsberg's burgeoning population without the need for rationing. Builders are constantly constructing additions and reinforcing the growing settlementsettlement, preventing the constant onslaught of mobs from assailing it'sits inhabitants.

Government
Player 22 (A.K.A "The Monkey King") is the ruling Absolute Monarch of the nation. While most Major decisions are ultimately decided by him, the manner byin which the decisions are executed is largely decentralized. For exampleexample, when the King says "Build a wall"wall," the builders build a wall, but the specific style and location of the tower is largely up to the Pits delegated to do a specific category of task tied to one's class (Builders Build, Miners MineMine, etc.)etc). Responsibility for specific major taskings areis delegated to capable Pits based on their class and specific expertise.
Foreign affairs
Foreign affairs are handled by the Monarch. Positive foreign relations have been established with the settlements of Greenhil and SkyCity who frequent the settlement to trade basic resources and information. Even a traveling healer visited to heal the king and servants.
After the diplomatic talks between Pitsberg, Greenhil, and SkyCity in the Greenhil chancery, the three cities have entered a defensive pact. OnIn topaddition ofto the previously mentioned defensive pact, plans were drafted to buildconstruct a skyway between the cities to better facilitate trade and furtherfoster better interactions.
Military
Player 537 (Also known as "Kasse" [or "Cassidy" to some]) has retired from the head guardsman position and has been learning the trade of blacksmithing. In their stead, player 465 has taken up the role. They and player 246 are the only guardsmen in all of Pitsberg.
Culture
