Nation of Seven Boats
History
Trial One:
The beginning of Seven Boats can be traced back to Session One of the firstSecond Trial and first official session.Event. The people that were to become its first citizens were all spawned in a desert and nearby mesa, where several rivers cut across and provided means to grow crops and trees. Outside of the small patches of riverside grass, the rest of the terrain was proved to be very dangerous, and prone to spawning dozens of various hostile mobs.A small sky base was created by (citation needed) overlooking one of these rivers to protect himself from potential mob attacks (was it?). A few days passed, and other people would join him on top of the sky base to fish and stay safe. Due to the resource scarcity of the desert, the people of the sky base eventually all agreed that they needed to migrate to a new land. The people organized themselves, preparing seven boats for their departure. When the sun rose that day, everyone drove off the side of the sky base and into the water. Following the coastline of the river. The group would search for a new place to settle all day. Eventually, they came across a Savanah full of pigs, chickens, and cows. It was decided that it would be the perfect place to settle, and so they all disembarked on a tiny beach and began to build a new temporary sky base.

It was during this time that the group began to transition themselves from a group of separate individuals into a state. The Ragged Pigman was taking more charge of the group, while others took it upon themselves to sow fields, mine for materials, and other vital early-game tasks. While all of this was happening, it was discovered that the nation of Egypt 2 was less than 100 blocks away from them, separated by a river. Apprehension amongst the people of Seven Boats rose when they noticed the much larger size of Egypt 2. On top of all this, there was an incident not long after where some of Egypt 2's citizens entered the sky base and began looking through chests. It is unknown what or if anything was taken, but people began to grow suspicious and fearful of a potentially hostile or rogue nation. On the night before Session One had concluded, concerns and plans were laid out to all the people. It was then when the nation of Seven Boats was officially created, with Ragged Pigman as its de-facto leaderleader.

Session Two began with a sunrise, which allowed Ragged Pigman and Trickster to sail across the waters to visit Egypt 2. When they arrived at the settlement, they were informed that the faction leader of Egypt 2 was not online, but that there was a second in command that would be willing to talk. During the meeting, the assistant (who was being jokingly referred to as anthe Assistant Pharaoh) was asked if his nation had any plans for Seven Boats. The assistant told them that their primary diplomatic goal was to make peace with all neighboring nations, and that they would be more than happy to be friendly towards them. When asked about the potential thieving incident, the assistant admitted that he had no idea who could have done that, so the question was quickly dropped. The two sides agreed that peace was the best plan forward, and that it would be best if they stayed on their respective sides of the river. With the meeting concluded, the two envoys returned home and informed the rest.
