History

The Netherlands was founded in January of 2020, and it soon annexed Belgium and Luxembourg. At this point the only building in the country was a small wooden hut. Soon after the annexation Dankiel logged in to find all the items in the hut were gone, and that the whole thing was filled with cobblestone. The hut was rebuilt, now with protection as the country set its sight on Svalbard. Dankiel travelled over to it and planted the Beneluxian flag, making it the first colony of the country. The Faroe Islands also got claimed on the way back. A while later West Africa and Ghana were also claimed for their resources. The Benelux was also present at the signing of the Treaty of Berlin on the 9th of February 2020, even though it did not participate in the preceding conflict. On the 21st of February Acorn Tower, the capital building of The Benelux was finished, standing at 38 blocks tall. On the 24th of February northern Germany was also annexed, with the purpose of getting more wood.
