MonsoonJR's Minecraft Server/Earth World Mark IV

The Earth World Mark 4 or Earth World Revived Revived Revived is the eleventh and current world on Monsoonjr's Minecraft server. The world is a 1:1500 replica of Earth made in WorldPainter. You can use this to convert coordinates and use this to see the world itself.

Lore
The world is set in the late 8th century (Between Late 750s to Early 790s), the recent end of the dark ages and the beginning of a medieval-like era. The world has many petty kingdoms clutching for power over disputed lands, from this, one can foresee many conflicts in the near future. The title of Praetor (Emperor of nations, the nation of nations) is slowly starting to fade away, yet their former holders still hold the title. Many countries are just mere shadows of their former glory. However, technological growth is beginning in some countries as infrastructural and other internal growth begins throughout western Europe, North Africa, and India. New ways of warfare has changed with the standardization of the shield and new blacksmith techniques changed the balance of fighting.

The Contoines (Con-toey-neenz) are an ethnic group of Franco-Imperian people located and based off of the Historic Burgundian Kingdom, they have land spanning from Milan, to Provence, to Geneva. They started out apart of the Bordeauxian rebellious nation, after Bordeaux became a Foederati (Land for Service) of Imperia, Imperia took the claimed South-Eastern French land. After two generations, the people of former Bordeauxian part of Imperia became more identified to Imperia, with future generations intermixing for over a century before Imperia collapsed.

They were later destroyed/absorbed by the Imperian cohort.

Although there are rumors that there are survivors that were overlooked.

 * European: Most of Central and Northern Europe (excluding the Mediterranean and Scandinavia) is a regular forest biome with oak and birch trees, and ferns. However, in Ukraine there is a Great Plain that is an exception to this typicality.
 * Mountains: Large, spiky mountains cover many parts of the world. These mountains can go up for 115 or more blocks and include the Andes, Himalayas, Alps, Rockies, Persian Mountains, etc.
 * Great Afro-Asian Desert: This desert area is large and expansive, and is divided by the Suez Canal into the Sahara and Great Asian Deserts. Called the Desert of Deserts, it is home to varied environments, such as the mountains of Persia and Anatolia, the flat deserts of Arabia and the Sahara, and the mountains of Central Asia and Xinjiang.
 * China: The fertile region of China, cut off from the mainly civilized parts of the world by the Great Afro-Eurasian Desert, is similar to the European zone, as it is a regular forest biome.
 * Siberio-Scandinavian: The deep taigas of Siberia are a snowy spruce biome, as are the forests of Scandinavia. In the farthest north, there are no trees at all.
 * Appalachian: The Appalachian zone of North America is a spruce forest similar to the Sibero-Scandinavan zone but without snow. West of the Appalachians, not much is known of North America.
 * Jungles: Many jungles lie throughout the world, such as in the Congo or in the Amazon. These jungles are densely forested and are home to a variety of large trees, as well as melons and coconuts.
 * Savannahs: In Africa, parts of Australia, and Argentina lie the Savannahs, dry grasslands containing acacia trees. These are the only places in the world where these trees can be found.
 * The Outback: The only known red sand biome in the world, the Outback is located in Australia and comprises the majority of its landmass. There are only cactuses and red sand in the Outback.
 * Antarctica: Far to the south, the remote and desolate continent of Antarctica is a dark, lifeless, and treeless frozen wasteland. It is a hard trek through, but at the very bottom of the World, beyond the South Pole, lies the Great Chasm. If one can navigate down the Great Chasm, access to the mysterious Outer World is possible.
 * American East: Mostly Taiga, all the way from the current US and Canadian provinces of Georgia to New Brunswick. Multiple bays can be found in the northern half, while the southern half is more dense and less port-friendly.

Religions
Treeism: The religion of Starynglia. It is the oldest religion in the server, and is a monotheistic religion worshipping a life-giving God of Nature known as the Great Tree. Usually worshippers plant a tree that symbolizes their god and erect a shrine around it, leaving offerings on the ground near the roots of the tree. Since trees are one of the most basic needs at the start of the game, Treeists deemed it important to However, it split into several sects depending on the region people are in. For example, if people used Acacian Trees, they lean towards the Great Tree being Acacia (Wealthy). Depending on the region, research shows that the style of wood the people uses tend to lean towards a trend of gameplay: Acacia (Wealthy, Valhalla), Jungle (Agriculture, Asgard), Dark Oak (Resourceful, Elysium), Spruce (Strength, Olympia), Oak (Plentiful or Common, Eden), Birch (Passive, Summerland).

Duckism: One of the two religions of the Arabs. The second oldest religion, it is a polytheistic religion worshipping a pantheon of duck-related gods, led by Tokkhadez, the Duck King and King of the Gods. Lately, Tokkhadez has been so associated with Duckism that many worshippers discard the other gods and worship Tokkhadez only. This breakaway sect is called Maekorian Duckism.

Islam: A fast-growing religion in Arabia, it is synonymous with the real-world religion of Islam. However, there are no Shiites at the moment and all Muslims on the server are Sunni currently. The headquarters of Islam in the world is currently the Grand Mosque of Tehran, in Arabian Persia.
