Melondeau
Melondeau is a location from Minecraft Attack initiated by Kjolt947. It was named after melons because they were the first crop to be grown in the settlement, later followed by wheat and potato. It is currently under rule of L'Empire de la Citroye.
History
Formation
Following The Calamity, Melondeau was formed north of the ruins of Old Japan after the fall of Épinette-sur-quès. Kjolt947 took several melons from his previous home and they had served as his main food source until the nation expanded, hence the name.
Expansion
Slowly but surely, the nation was expanded with the construction of several buildings. These include a cactus farm, the melon factory, an underground sheep barn and a temple to Melondia. As it grew, however, its independence was brought to a close. Under threat of war, Melondeau reluctantly became a vassal of the larger nation L'Empire de la Citroye.
Relations
Overall, relations fluctuated with southern nations, but never to much of an extent compared to that of L'Empire. Despite mostly being beneficial, Kjolt947's opinion of its greater nation and its members was certainly shaky. Even during the Siege of the Gouffre, he had made negotiations in secrecy with enemy nations to fully ignore one another. Melondeau was a player of all sides and ultimately was able to avoid any significant conflict.
