About The Republic
The Republic is an Imperialistic affiliation who has no leader. All the players work together and help each other for the betterment of the team. It was the largest affiliation by land ownership in Season III. Most of the players that are part of the republic started in season II, with the exception of players Skullipede545, Mars1823, and Zerolife, who all joined in Season III.

Republic Town (Season III)
Republic town is the large town style base of all the members of the team. There are 6 houses, a restaurant, a small library, The Grand Raluj Courthouse, Various Star Wars Ships including the Venator Class Star Destroyer that looms over the base, a windmill, various farms (Creeper, Wither Skeleton, Wheat, Bamboo, Carrot, Chorus Fruit, Oak Tree, Flower), and a giant forest at the north end of the base.

Town Centre
In the town square, there is a dragon egg encased in purple stained glass panes. To the north is Michael's Epic House, the two story main base of the team built by Legorealm with house from other teammates. Around the time of the Venator's Completion, Skullipede545 renovated the house basement and added a second floor. The steps down to the basement have various connected rooms, including the furnace room, the villager area, the head room, the auto-fisher, the beacon room/auto-smelter, the enchanting room, the running wither skeleton farm, and branching off tunnels used for mining. In front of the house is the small chorus fruit farm built by Legorealm. To the east is the Old Appartment building. It was built by Legorealm and stands over most of the buildings in town centre and the eastern expansion. The building is built of stone bricks and covered in vines, but this wasn't always here. A couple days before the Second floor of Michael's Epic House was built (A couple days before the basement renovation), an old house stood. This was built by ChuckyFries during his brief time on the realm when he based on the land. When Skullipede545 first joined, this was his home which he renovated with a wooden floor and all the house essentials. When Skullipede built his own house, Rottings got the then called 'Poptartz Party Shack' a reference to Skullipede's moniker, 21poptartz. Rottings owned this house until it's demolition where the Old Apartment Building would be built. To the west there is a house with a strange history. It was originally (not completely finished) by ADelleDonne during his brief time on the realm. When Skullipede545 got onto the realm, it was a chest house, mainly used for storage (even though there were more items in the Epic House) with a hole in the back roof. Skullipede545 fixed this up and added a bit more to the house. Eventually, around mid April, 2020, (a bit more half-way into the Venator project) the chests were removed for maps to be placed there. The maps were placed on the second level, causing the roof to be misshapen. To the south of the building is Mars1823's house. The house is one of the only to have one level in the entire town. This was built by Mars1823 a couple days before the maps were placed in what is know known as the chest house for its former use. This house is quite basic, with the essentials and stairs going up to the roof, and stairs leading into the underground area, known as the basement of Michael's Epic House.

The Venator
Beside the Venator, to the west and slightly below it is an ARC-170 Starfighter, one of the three smaller ships. Unlike the other two, this one was built by DiamondCyborg123 for him to build him. The Venator though, was built by Skullipede545 and was a sort of second base for him. He worked on it regularly for a bit over a month and the final product is amazing. It looks very menacing yet it looks quite strange above the other buildings. The lore is that the imperial ships came into the land and claimed it for their own. This ship has been Skullipede545's base since it was completed on May 4, 2020. On board, there are his chests, kept well sorted where he keeps all of his goods, a furnace, an anvil, a crafting table, a bed desk combo, and a jukebox. All of his pets are on board the ship (with the exception of his cat) which all happen to be five parrots. He named two of the 'Tony Scalzo' and 'Miles Zuniga' being the names of the two singers of the Southern United States rock band Fastball, which he has expressed much love for their music, especially their 1998 album, All the pain money can buy which received two Grammy nominations. He uses the jukebox to make the parrots dance to stal , the only disc he has on the ship.

The Eastern Expansion
The east side of town consists of four buildings, being Skullipede545's House, Republic Restaurant, Republic Library, and The Grand Raluj Courthouse. Skullipede545's house is a normal suburban house with a medieval twist. The house has a main level with a crafting table and furnace, a basement that once had chests (Moved up to the Venator after it's completion) and a stonecutter, and two beds on the top floor. This was his main base before The Venator was complete. One day, SlightlyInpain and Legorealm had the idea to make a line of Skullipede545 heads going from the top of the door of his house as far as possible. This at one time went through Rottings' house (long before the apartment) but was constantly destroyed by Rottings. Most of it was destroyed when the apartment building was built but some segments still stand today. One near the iron farm and a cock n ball formation at the door of Skullipede545's house. Beside it is the Republic Restaurant. This is a medium sized build just to make the town look better with no practical use. There are tables in the resturant but no food is served. The building has three floors, the top being completely empty. There are a couple of balconies and a small fake basement area which is inaccessible. There is a small library across from the courthouse. It is another building with no real function. It is quite nice with two floors and a balcony. Even though it looks quite nice with the big tree in front of it, it is not the best library in town. There isn't really much to say about it as it isn't a major build. The Grand Raluj Courthouse is one of the main attractions of the base. It is three floors tall complete with lobby rooms, offices, courtrooms, and an unfinished basement level which is a sort of mob grinder. Two court cases have been held here, being the trial of Themsan and the trial of Raxify. In the main courtroom, there is a busy scene built by Starhunter13 and Salamineder. It now stands proudly over the flat area around it. There are a couple of small buildings in the eastern expansion being the Build Hut/Lil hut/Michael's Epic Hut, a place where building materials are stored, the historic coca beans, and Hank's Watch Tower, being Skullipede545's first build on the realm.

The Southern End
Most of the southern end is flat land with farms. Almost all of the above ground farms in the town are in this area. This area contains the Oak Tree farm, Planted by Skullipede for an easy abundance of wood to use for his secret build. This area was also used for other things. Near it is the Iron Golem Farm. This is an automatic farm built by SlightlyInpain that produces a hefty amount of iron. This caused the team to be rich in iron. On the modified coast stands the two giant cobblestone mob towers. One is a creeper farm while the other is a wither skeleton farm. Legorealm and Themsan built both towers. They are the tallest buildings in town and their height almost passes the top of the bridges on the Venator. On the ground there is a BARC Speeder and the LAAT in attack position, both built by Legorealm a day before the Venator was started. Near the Iron farm there lies a small cobblestone house labelled 'SlightlyInpain's House' with a small wheat farm behind it. The manual wheat farm used to be surrounded by tall bamboo. Beside the courthouse, there is a giant stone brick frame, put there by Skullipede. This was once going to be a post/mail office build, later suggested by Legorealm to be an Imperial office building, and at some point, a sign was placed on it telling people it was going to be a prison. In front of the frame, there is a small manual crop farm. There isn't much major builds in this section. Other than the buildings near the mob towers and the stone brick frame, most of the area is flat land up until Fort Sal, where the farthest south point is. Fort Sal, The coastline, the united minds area, and Oogabunga's land are where the borders to Republic Town lie.

The Western Area
This is the most unused land section in all of republic town. It only contains four structures, two of which are unfinished. One is near the border and is a circular stone brick structure that is very unfinished, while the other is a small house on a forty five degree angle. It is about half way complete judging by how it looks. On the west side of Michael's Epic House, there is a small spruce house that was originally from Forsaken (An old minecraft server) which was built by Legorealm (on forsaken, built by Salamineder on the realm). It sits beside the house along with an infinite water source and what was once a chicken farm. The water is so one can jump from the Venator and survive without an elytra. The final structure is a windmill. It was built by Skullipede and is a nice touch to the landscape. Other than the mentioned structures, there isn't much in this area except trees and the railway going to spawn which borders the base. The two unfinished buildings and the windmill were built after the Venator's completion, while the Forsaken house was built before the Venator was started.

The North Forest
This is the northern area. There are not very much structures in this area. Although there is only 2 structures in this section, it has seen a lot of use. The giant spruce trees, normal spruce trees, most of the birch trees, the dark oak trees, and two acacia trees were planted by Skullipede for easy access of wood. These trees were planted long before the oak tree farm, most being planted a bit before the Venator was started. Many trees were planted making the area a giant forest and great source of wood. Behind Michael's Epic House, there is an automatic flower farm which doesn't see much use. In the thick of the forest is the Rottings house, originally the mine house. This was the first thing Skullipede made when he joined the realm. Even though the building itself was never finished, a tunnel connecting to the basement was made. It is quite the historic site and is often disregarded due to it being so hidden.

History of The Republic (Season III)
TO BE WRITTEN Disputes

(Season III) Around the time The Grand Raluj Courthouse was completed, there was a dispute over the land to the left of the building (facing the front entrance). This land argument escalated quickly into a fight between Rottings, Legorealm, and Themsan on The Republic side against Oogabunga. Due to a heavy amount of insults being thrown about by both parties, it was quite the spectacle in the chat. During this fight, a wall of spruce wood fences was built near where the land border is today (A bit closer to the courthouse) which was griefed a couple times by Legorealm, Rottings, and Themsan. Oogabunga tried to replace it but most of it was destroyed, but some still stands today. In the end, Skullipede545 helped reach an agreement on the land borders. This went not without casualties, though. Rottings received a one day ban even though he hadn't done as much damage as Legorealm, who received no ban. Themsan, on the other hand, was quite salty. He got very passionate about defending the land and sent out a slurry of insults and threats that got him banned. The dispute was settled shortly after.
