== Best Nation ==
== Kingdom of Italy ==


Best Nation is a powerful and prosperous nation located in the Great Realm, founded in 2025. It has quickly gained recognition for its strong economic system, large population, and vibrant political landscape. The nation was founded by the visionary leader, President John Doe, and has been home to many notable citizens and dynamic cities, including Besttown, its capital.
The **Kingdom of Italy** was a powerful and organized nation on **EarthPol V5**, formed by a group of returning veterans from the NewEarth community. Despite its short lifespan during the V5 server run (July 14 – August 30, 2022), Italy quickly rose to prominence by claiming the entire Italian Peninsula, founding iconic cities, and building lasting cultural landmarks.

== History ==


=== '''Early History''' ===
=== '''Formation and Return to EarthPol''' ===


==== Formation and Founding ====
Italy was founded during **EarthPol Version 5** by **Ham**, **Sliver**, and **Swevy**. The trio created the nation as a way to transition back into earth-based Minecraft servers after a break. While their extended group (Donut, Hibitt, Reincarnate, Puzzle, and others) focused on an SMP at the time, the core trio returned early to lay the groundwork for a powerful new nation.
On January 1, 2025, Best Nation was officially established following a series of negotiations between various groups in the region. President John Doe, who had been a key figure in the discussions, was elected as the nation's first leader. The founding of Best Nation marked the beginning of a new era of stability and growth in the Great Realm. The initial focus was on creating a government structure, establishing national security, and developing a sustainable economy.


==== Expansion and Early Conflicts ====
The capital, **Rome**, was founded on **July 20, 2022, at 6:31 PM**, and soon became one of the largest and most populated cities on the server, reaching 100 members and ranking among the top 5 nations by population.
By March 2025, Best Nation began to expand its territory by establishing the town of Prosperity Heights, which later became one of the nation's major economic hubs. During this period, the nation faced its first significant conflict with neighboring factions, leading to the first war of Best Nation's history. Despite early struggles, Best Nation emerged victorious, securing its borders and consolidating its power.


=== '''Mid-History''' ===
=== '''Expansion and Political Climate''' ===


==== The Great Union Era ====
Following the success of Rome, more towns such as **Florence**, **Milan**, **Venice**, **Naples**, and **Trieste** were established. In collaboration with **Donut**, **Ham** encouraged the rest of the NewEarth group to return, and **Reincarnate** founded the city of **Genoa**, further solidifying the nation’s territorial control and influence over the peninsula.
In June 2025, Best Nation joined the Great Union, a coalition of nations seeking mutual prosperity and peace. This decision was a turning point in Best Nation's history, as it allowed for greater diplomatic reach, economic growth, and military alliances. The nation’s influence in the region expanded as a result, and several cities, including Victoryville, were founded during this time.


==== National Reforms and Growth ====
Although Italy avoided direct involvement in many of the server's major wars—most of which involved **Islamic Switzerland**, **Greece**, and the **Byzantine/Ottoman Empire**—it still engaged in internal law enforcement and player-based operations.
Throughout 2026, Best Nation underwent a series of national reforms aimed at improving governance, economic stability, and social welfare. These reforms were crucial in maintaining the nation's upward trajectory and ensuring long-term prosperity.


== Government ==
== Government ==


Best Nation operates as a republic, with a strong executive branch led by an elected president. The government is divided into three main branches: the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary. The executive branch, headed by President John Doe, is responsible for overseeing the military, diplomacy, and national security. The legislature, known as the National Assembly, is composed of representatives elected by the citizens to create laws and policies. The judiciary ensures that laws are applied fairly and that constitutional rights are upheld.
Italy was structured as a **monarchy**, with **HamHamHam_** serving as king. The nation did not have a formal legislature but operated cooperatively among trusted returning players, with much of its governance being informal and group-based.


The president is elected every four years, with the next election scheduled for 2028. The vice president serves as the president’s deputy and assumes leadership if the president is incapacitated.
== Military and Conflict ==


== Military ==
Italy’s military consisted of roughly 20 active participants. While large-scale war was rare for the nation, its most notable conflict was the **Siege of Vatican City**, part of ongoing tensions in the region. The Italian military also played a unique role in enforcing anti-drug operations through the establishment of the **Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)**.


Best Nation maintains a well-equipped and disciplined military force. With an army size of approximately 500 troops, the nation prioritizes defense and security, ensuring that its borders are well-protected from external threats. The military is primarily composed of volunteers, with special units dedicated to both ground and air operations.
== Drug Enforcement and DEA Operations ==


Additionally, Best Nation’s strategic alliances within the Great Union provide further military support when needed. The nation’s military doctrine focuses on defense, deterrence, and rapid response to any aggressive actions.
The **DEA** was a unique institution founded during EarthPol V5 by Italy to target the growing use of **illegal potions** across the server. Italian agents raided homes, confiscated contraband, and attempted to combat the widespread use of substances like **fentanyl**, which plagued several nations on EarthPol.
