History
''This section may not be entirely factually accurate. You can help out by clarifying it!''

Ruinopolis was founded on September 16th, 2020 as an extension of the Tau Empire under its previous name "Spruce Creek". A day later on September 17th, the capital on the Tau Empire, Masques, was sieged by the American Union and subsequently surrendered the day after on the 18th of September.

Along with all other Tau Empire towns in North America, Spruce Creek was given an ultimatum by the American Empire: Join or be sieged. With no other choice, Spruce Creek joined the American Union.

As the Tau-American Union conflict had ended, Spruce Creek was payed little notice by the American Union, and as such, left quietly in a peaceful toggle. Over the following months, Spruce Creek would change hands multiple times due to different towns cropping up nearby. Spruce Creek eventually fell under New Wales control around November 30th, 2020. A negotiation was made, and Spruce Creek left New Wales for the Kiwi Empire, where the Tau Empire members had gone to.

On December 5th, 2020, Zero's IRL Friend, Imbster joined and was co-mayored. Unlike Zero at the time, Imbster was very social. Due to his interactions he pressured Zero to joining a town that was more local. He received offers from The American Union and Alberta. Zero instead decided to join New Wales as his previous interaction with the American Union wasn't positive and Alberta didn't seem to really care.

Shortly thereafter Zero, decided to claim to the Southwest, effectively creating a pathway to a separate ruin. Imbster noticing this, helped Zero connect the ruins. soon however after an attemot to connect to another ruin, Spruce Creek, ran out of chunks to claim. Wanting a less generic name to attract members, Imbster pressure Zero into renaming the town. it took a lot of back and forth, but the name "Ruinopolis" was eventually agreed upon.

Over a month later Imbster had gotten busy and as such Zero had gotten more interested in the nation he was in. and started the Library Project as ink sacs had became cheaper due to its crating recipe being added.
