Central Minecraft Region

The Central Minecraft Region (CMR) was the largest and capital region of the Fraughtian Community. It shared many similarities with the former Xbox 360 Region, both cultural and political. The region had a varying population, reaching 250 members at its peak. CMR Isles, the official realm, acted as the de-facto capital in Minecraft. The region in early 2019, facing inactivity from its leader, was reformed into Minecraftia. Minecraftia would quickly be replaced by Caveton.

The CMR was founded on 4 August 2016, by PackerfanGamer, and was annexed into the Fraughtian Community as a region on 10 March 2018 when PackerfanGamer approved the Packer Plan. The CMR served as the capital of the Fraughtian Community from mid-2018 until early 2019. The region had the highest use of the Fraughtian Sol, and a large number of businesses.

The Central Minecraft Region had the most realms within. Those realms included CMR Isles, Gnosticraft, The Forest, and Stardust Enders. The region hosted the first two Fraughtia Games events in 2019.

Early history
The Central Minecraft Region was founded on 4 August 2016 as a small independent community, named "Minecraft Central." The community was founded by PackerfanGamer as a result of an unfair ban by a larger Minecraft community, "Minecraft Multiplayer." During this time, Minecraft Central was relatively inactive and was slow-growing. Months later, PackerfanGamer finds another small Minecraft community owned by UNP-17. After some negotiations, the two agree to unite their communities into Minecraft Central, with UNP-17 serving as a co-leader. This "annexation," brought an almost doubling of members, and an even greater increase in activity. Several members joined during this era. Among those include chliu1855, who is very active and brings many members to the community. Jeo188 joins a bit later on, and is similarly active. These two members joined the staff team alongside UNP-17.

The period of activity and peace wouldn't last for long. Several prominent members from Minecraft Multiplayer and various nefarious attackers would soon join Minecraft Central. 2 members joined together—Lopho and Paulo—and they started being disruptive. They spammed the community with messages and abused the ping system. The attack lasted several hours until PackerfanGamer could log on. The two members were promptly banned and were discovered to be natives of Minecraft Multiplayer.

Another noted member joined, with the name of Candy Cane. They were fairly active and quickly became trusted to be staff. However, upon acquisition of the staff role, they tried to kick and ban everyone in Minecraft Central. This was avoided due to all staff members not having permissions to kick or ban members. Candy Cane was put on probation and was indefinitely banned upon them spamming profanities in the main-chat. Following this, an unknown attacker joined and mass-pinged everyone.

For several months now, the staff team has been requesting permission to kick and ban disruptive members. PackerfanGamer was hesitant to give out the critical permission, as he wanted to avoid an inside attack. Eventually, he created a new tier of staff, named "high moderators," which included most administrative permissions, and was granted first to UNP-17 and Jeo188.

Other areas were reformed too. New bots were introduced to aid with moderation and create a level-based experience system. Among these added include Mee6, DynoBot, and Rhythm (for music). A set of custom emojis based on Minecraft blocks and mobs were created at this time. Overall, Minecraft Central had recovered entirely from its attacks, and was entering a new age of growth and activity.

Fraughtian introduction
In late 2017 Minecraft Central had gained attention from the Fraughtian Congress. GayMerMan4REALZ had joined and started talks with the staff team. He would be directed to the owner, PackerfanGamer, on further discussion. GayMerMan4REALZ was requesting recognition and annexation into the Xbox 360 Region, which was unanimously denied by the staff. GayMerMan4REALZ, not giving up, had stayed in Minecraft Central and made himself an influential member.

PackerfanGamer, following the annexation request, had contacted FraughtMovie with questions regarding the Fraughtian Community and process of annexation. On 27 December 2017, the Congress formally requested mutual recognition. The request was signed off by the Minecraft Central staff, and Fraughtian influence continued to spread. Included in the treaty was the establishment of an "embassy," which ended up hosting Fraughtian news and a form to register as a full Fraughtian member.

GayMerMan4REALZ was getting more active in the community and befriended PackerfanGamer. He quickly requested to become a full staff member, but upon hesitation from UNP-17 and Jeo188, he was allowed as a "supervisor." Using this power, he pushed for Minecraft Central to adopt a more Fraughtian style and procedure. Many of these were ignored and not implemented.

Annexation
Main Article: Annexation of Minecraft Central

In March 2018, FraughtMovie introduced the "Packer Plan," which was to annex Minecraft Central into a full region based on Minecraft. This is following the recent reformation of the Fraughtian Minecraft Region into the Fraughtian Maker's Region, changing its focus from Minecraft to media and content creation. The potential name for the region was planned to either be "Minecraft Region" (MIR) or "Minecraft Central Region" (MCR). Ultimately neither of these were chosen, and instead the name of "Central Minecraft Region" (CMR) was picked.

UNP-17 and Jeo188, both wary of Fraughtian intentions, had tried to push back against the annexation. However, the two of them were not able to convince PackerfanGamer, who maintained final authority. Minecraft Central was fully annexed as the Central Minecraft Region on 10 March 2018. UNP-17 and Jeo188 decided to resign as staff, and both went to revive UNP-17's old server. PackerfanGamer would remain as Regional Leader, and wrote a Carta Magna for the region, inspired off of FMR's.

Being in the Fraughtian Community, residents needed recruitment in order to become verified as full members. Many recruiters from various Fraughtian regions joined and were tasked with getting a majority of the CMR's population verified. The new region saw unprecedented activity and growth. Many Fraughtians and other new members all joined and were quickly assimilated into the community. Jakubdot, an FMR native, would be selected as Vice Leader, and he would serve in the event that PackerfanGamer was unable to or removed.

Silent War
Main Article: Silent War

The Central Minecraft Region and its leader, PackerfanGamer, were directly involved in the Silent War. Prior to the conflict, relations were forming between Hal's Crafter's and the CMR. Hal's Crafter's was a server directly associated with Minecraft Multiplayer, and was home to banned member Swagcaster. Spaceranger, another member of Hal's Crafters, had joined CMR to promote their realm.

Swagcaster got wind of the improving relationship, and talked Hal (owner of Hal's Crafters) out of a partnership deal with the region. Additionally, the staff team of Minecraft Multiplayer also advised Hal to stop negotiations after sharing their experiences with PackerfanGamer. Upon request of swagcaster, all Hal's Crafters members were asked to leave the CMR.

Meltdown, owned by Lightning20052 and Firedrop, both Hal's Crafters natives and CMR residents, partnered with the CMR on 11 May 2018. This partnership eventually opened the door for the annexation of Meltdown. Spaceranger owned a server at this time, called the Spaceranger Clan/Region (SRCR). The SRCR was destroyed by Love of Helium, CMR native, and he was given a TIER 5 ban for violating the No Bellum Ante policy.

The CMR crisis started when PackerfanGamer unbanned Love of Helium from the Central Minecraft Region. Supreme Leader GayMerMan4REALZ, needed to get the ownership of the region, got Packerfan to believe hackers were coming after his account, which ended up with him handing over the ownership. PackerfanGamer was put on public trial, while pardoned for his actions, he still lost the position of Regional Leader. A second referendum was held to determine whether the CMR would continue as a region, or be granted full independence. In a slight majority, the CMR would continue under Fraughtian rule.

Decision 2018
In accordance with the Carta Magna, in the event that the Regional Leader cannot lead, the Leader pro tempore (formerly named Vice Leader), would become acting leader until a new one was selected. Elections were started right away, entitled "Decision 2018." Three candidates ran for office—garrisondoesgames from the Fraughtian Progressive Party, Jakubdot from the Packer Party, and MarbalTM from the MerMan Party. In a close race, MarbalTM, FMR native, wins the election, becoming the second regional leader. MarbalTM picks second place candidate, garrisondoesgames, to become the Leader pro tempore.

FraughtMovie helped out MarbalTM much with the administrative leadership. He would end up gaining the title of Regional Leader after both MarbalTM and garrisondoesgames go inactive and are unable to lead. FraughtMovie would continue leading until 17 September 2018, in which he and GayMerMan4REALZ switched leadership positions of the CMR and FMR. GayMerMan4REALZ would continue as Regional Leader until he resigned on 6 October 2018.

Controlled collapse and reform
Main article: 2018 controlled collapse

The Fraughtian Congress invoked controlled collapse on 27 September 2018. A week later, GayMerMan4REALZ resigned as both Supreme Leader and regional leader. This left FraughtMovie as the de facto leader of both the entire community and of the CMR. Following the completion of community-wide reform, he focused on his duties as regional leader. The Patreon experience was added, which included rewards for donors. By popular demand, FraughtMovie set up a realm for the region.

The realm theme was voted on, and "mutant survival" was selected. The realm consisted of regular survival, but the various mobs would be mutated versions of themselves, making it much more difficult than a regular survival realm. Facing issues with the realm, its theme was changed to "survival island," and gave it a new name: CMR: Isles. CMR: Isles would go on to be widely popular.

Early 2019
Uniserverism was introduced in February 2019. This meant that Fraughtians could only be in a single region or colony. The introduction was met with severe backlash from both GayMerMan4REALZ and PackerfanGamer, but FraughtMovie still went through with the plan.

CMR hosted the Fraughtia Games I in March. The event was a PvP competition across many different Minecraft clans. This is when the CMR gets introduced to many clans, including Stardust Enders and Kabibsuds. As a part of the region's effort to bring in realms, Stardust Enders allowed CMR members to join their community realm.

On 15 March, FraughtMovie resigned as Governor. Elections for the next governor were held, with PackerfanGamer from the Progressive Party, Raymes and Shadowman586 (unaffiliated), running for the position. PackerfanGamer wins the election, becoming the next governor. In his first week, he created several "government jobs," including a graphic designer, journalist and guard. The journalist would be in charge of writing articles for the CMR Journal, the news source operated by PackerfanGamer.

In April, development was started on a new minigames realm for the region. The realm was planned to include various PvP modes, parkour, and a hide and seek minigame. FraughtMovie was unable to continue payments on CMR: Isles, and he announced its shutdown. PackerfanGamer offered to purchase the realm.

Dissolution
Facing serious inactivity from both its members and the governor, FraughtMovie requested that the Congress approve the dissolution of the Central Minecraft Region. It was dissolved on 25 May 2019. Following the dissolution, PackerfanGamer left the community for a while. Minecraftia would be created on 15 June as a replacement, and all members were encouraged to join the new region.

Legacy
The Central Minecraft Region left a lasting legacy. During its regionhood, it was the center for Minecraft activity in the Fraughtian Community, and was active economically and politically. The region saw the greatest growth and activity levels in the community for its time, as well as democratically electing its leaders.

CMR: Isles was the first region to get its own realm, and due to its success, future Fraughtian regions would have official realms. Its use of the Sol eventually led to the creation of SolBot, a version of which is still used actively in Caveton.

Culture
The culture of the CMR was dominated by Minecraft. The main platforms played included Xbox, phone, and Windows 10. The region had many builders and survivalists, playing together in the CMR: Isles realm. While PvP wasn't as common an activity as compared to the Xbox 360 Region, the CMR hosted the first Fraughtia Games event. Markets were first introduced, and the Sol saw great use by its members.

The architectural style was the same one established by the city of Nieve. This "neo-colonialist" style was common among villages in the region. Fraughtian "pro-fighting" was brought back with an arena built in the CMR: Isles realm.
