Paris

Overview

Paris was a Maple community (Rome) town in Northern France, on the TownySMP (it also stretched into Luxembourg). It was the successor town of Lutetia. The town was founded by ImperatorGigi on August 2nd, 2021. The town would transition into the French Empire, which would later become the Greatest Netherlands and capital of the Federal Frankish Empire.

History

After being bored by his old town, ImperatorGigi decided to resettle in Europe on August 2nd. An alt account of Lucas2011 would keep his old town of Lutetia, but ImperatorGigi still owns half of the town in the form of embasssy plots, only being limited by the 100 personal plot limit. The real-life regions of Île-de France, Nord-Pas de Calais, Champagne and Lorraine were chosen as the town location. In order to boost town claims, ImperatorGigi asked a friend to join his town.

Transition into French Empire

The town would become to be the most active and important town in France and the Lower Countries. Its influence stretched from Norway to Morocco, so it was renamed to French_Empire. ImperatorGigi would later inherit Bavaria as well, thereby increasing the town's claims threefold. These were shortly used for the North Sea War to block the encirclement by the Auckland Empire. Not much later, the French Empire, along with all its puppet towns and close allies, left the Roman Republic on October 2nd.

Leaving Rome (Maple)

After all towns were taken out of the Roman Republic, the French Empire directly annexed all of the Netherlands, along with most of Belgium and Luxembourg. It was then renamed to Greatest_Netherlands, the head town of the Federal Frankish Empire.
