Kingdom of Italy
The Kingdom of Italy was a powerful and organized nation on Lumen (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
Formation and Return to EarthPol
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 another SMP at the time, the core trio returned early to lay the groundwork for a powerful new nation.
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.
Expansion and Political Climate
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.
Although Italy avoided direct involvement in many of the server's major wars—most of which involved Islamic Switzerland, Kingdom of Greece, and the Ottoman Empire—it still engaged in internal law enforcement and player-based operations.
Government
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.
Military and Conflict
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)**.
Drug Enforcement and DEA Operations
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.
Notable Builds
- The Colosseum – A massive and iconic recreation of the Roman landmark in the capital city.
- Genoa Houses – Residential structures showcasing Genoese architectural influence.
- The Drug Yacht – A mysterious build involved in the DEA narrative and often associated with smuggling lore on the server.
Cities and Provinces
Italy consisted of several key towns, often functioning like provinces:
- Rome – Capital and largest city.
- Genoa – Second major center, founded by Reincarnate.
- Florence, Milan, Venice, Naples, Trieste – Regional cities contributing to the cultural and economic makeup of the nation.
Diplomacy
Although Italy generally remained neutral in the server’s largest wars, it was closely allied with Greece and maintained cordial relationships with other non-aggressive states. Its stance was generally isolationist, focusing on rebuilding and consolidating power after returning from hiatus.
Culture
Italy emphasized historical and architectural heritage, as seen in its iconic Roman builds and city planning. The blend of Italian aesthetic and practical earth server mechanics made it one of the more visually and culturally rich nations of EarthPol V5.
Legacy
Despite lasting less than two months, Italy left a strong impression on EarthPol V5 due to its rapid growth, iconic structures, and internal narrative around law enforcement and return from hiatus. Its legacy lives on through players like Ham, Reincarnate, and Donut, and its builds remain some of the most memorable of the version.
Notable People
- HamHamHam_ – Founder and King of Italy, central to the nation’s creation and growth.
- Sliver – Co-founder and veteran of NewEarth.
- Swevy – Co-founder and early planner of Italy’s layout.
- Donut – Instrumental in bringing back former players.
- Reincarnate – Founder of Genoa and key community leader.
- Puzzle – Part of the returning playerbase that supported national growth.
- Hibitt – Early member and contributor to development efforts.
