Minecraft:Malaclypse Province
Malaclypse Province is a major province of Erisiana. It was the first province created. The capital of Malaclypse Province is Bureaucracy, Malaclypse. It is the largest and oldest of the provinces of Erisiana, and the most populous.
Malaclypse Province borders Ravenhurst Province to the northwest and Mojo Province to the west.
Creation
Sometime in the third millennium YOLD, the current system of governance in Erisiana was created; previously, cities just did largely whatever they wanted. Due to excessive amounts of disorder, a small modicum of order had to be imposed; thus, the creation of the province to reign in the towns.
Upon creation of Malaclypse Province, Malaclypse and surrounding communities all joined, up to the New Seattle border.
Expansion
Soon after the province was established, the five (or six) districts of the city of Malaclypse voted to join to form a single commune. However, the communities of Eristotle and Portsmouth separated from the commune almost immediately. The commune's government felt that it was wasting resources on Portsmouth, while Eristotle's inquisitors believed that the commune's government was overbearing.
Not long after the province was established and New Seattle joined the confederation, Erisiana began an aggressive campaign of and highway construction. The ERIS system provided rapid rail transit throughout Malaclypse and the nearby towns, while Erisiana Route 10 provided a highway route to New Seattle, which in turn was linked to Finejo via a spur route. Cascadia reluctantly agreed to join the province to gain access to the highway. The highway would continue to expand eastward towards Probeland, which agreed to join the federation due to an ancient reptilian prophecy. It was later connected to Bay City via the Bay-Probe Bridge.
The town of Zarathud was established in Portsmouth District without much fanfare.
Increasing traffic on E-10 led to catastrophic accidents and nearly lethal levels of road rage, so Erisiana built a small bypass around Zarathud and Portsmouth then built a much larger bypass from Portsmouth around the north side of Malaclypse Commune to Eristotle. This was called the Malaclypse Beltway. The Beltway passed through through the Sanity Range, where massive veins of coal and iron ore were allegedly found during construction of the Beltway. Workers and entrepreneurs from Malaclypse moved to the area and established several communities, and they began to plan the new city of Hodge.
After numerous drunken duels between the inquisitors of Malaclypse and the inquisitors of Sanity District and Hodge, Sanity District and Hodge petitioned the Parliament of Erisiana to become a new province, and thus Ravenhurst Province was established.
Anticipating a huge surge in demand for electricity, the province began building a massive nuclear power station to the west of the Aftermath. However, when the planners realized that not only was electricity not needed in Minecraft but totally nonexistent and so was uranium, the planners' collective confusion, embarrassment, and anger manifested as a violent nuclear meltdown followed by a relatively mild 23 kiloton nuclear explosion. Parliament quickly decommissioned the now destroyed Three Mile Chernobyl Dai-Ichi Reactor Complex and renamed it and the remains of the nearby town Disaster before erecting a giant fence around it.
Decreasing availability of land in the whole city, skyrocketing property values in Discord and Chaos, and exploding everything in the Aftermath pushed many of Malaclypse Commune's residents out into sparsely populated areas along E-10. Wealthier citizens established the town of Kallisti as a resort community, while the once-thriving middle class created the carefully planned suburban community of Dissonance. ERIS added its Pink line and extended the Cyan and Blue lines to serve these communities while also expanding the Purple line to Zarathud.
