Taiwan-Sweden Incident

On 3/2/2020, three days after the nation of Taiwan was founded by myerfire, and the beginning of the Imperator Network as a whole, a user by the name of GrodKatt appeared on the network. Due to a lack of proper communication, this player was invited to the nation of Taiwan almost immediately after logging in. However, GrodKatt did not have intentions that matched those of his nation, and caused a severe halt in the operations currently being persued by the nation of Taiwan.

The Spawn Point Bug
During the beta launch of Imperator, many bugs were found and fixed as needed. Among these issues was a bug that caused a spawn point bed that was broken to continue acting as a spawn point if the bed was placed back after being broken. When GrodKatt's intentions were revealed, he was immediately exiled from the nation, but not before he was able to access the attic, where the beds of all Citizens were. GrodKatt was able to exploit the spawn point bug to continue spawning in the attic of the main residential area of Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. In a span of an hour or so, GrodKatt continued to commit suicide in order to respawn in the residential area and be a nuisance to the people of Taiwan. An attempt was made to obsidian trap GrodKatt's spawn point, but he was able to start spawning outside of the trap due to Minecraft mechanics. Reinforcements from Italy were called in to forcefully remove GrodKatt from Taiwanese soil, and this was successful.

Sweden
GrodKatt was not satisfied with the above result. Throughout the span of multiple hours, he continued committing suicide in an attempt to spawn closer to the island of Taiwan, and was successful after many hours. He came to the center of the island of Taiwan and began claiming land under the name "sweden, Sweden". He created his own proto-nation named Sweden on the island of Taiwan, which was not fully claimed as federal property due to a decision made by the President, myerfire. He decided not to fully claim the island because it would be problematic to unclaim the land later on in order to found towns in the country. Later on, the promise for a feature to convert federal claims into town property was made.

On 3/3/2020, admin intervention was used to forcefully annex the "nation" of Sweden as it was decided that


 * 1) The entire situation would not have occurred if the feature to convert federal property to town plots was implemented/mentioned sooner.
 * 2) The player GrodKatt was inactive enough to deem him a troll on the server.
 * 3) GrodKatt had also committed many communicational offences such as racism, sexism, and misogyny that would likely have resulted in a ban either way.

GrodKatt has not showed up on the server since the original day of the incidents.
