District of York

Location
The District of York is located in the Southern Regions of Northern America. It's capital, New Lancaster, is located along the river. Because of it's location, the District experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters with average rainfall.

Early history
The District of York was founded on September 14th, 2006. In it's early years, it joined the "Dark Brotherhood" Alliance (.:db:.). Shortly thereafter, the alliance was obliterated by GOONS and since disbanded. The District began its search for a new alliance and applied to The Legion. However, it was that same date that the District withdrew its application to Legion after receiving an offer to re-unite with former .:db:. members to form a new alliance, the Organization of War, Negotiations, and Defense (OWND), spending a little over a month in the alliance (acting as Official Scribe) before leaving due to corruption and poor leadership. Remembering the kindness given during her short stay in the Legion, she returned on December 3rd, 2006, where she has remained ever since.

UESA War (Great Lulz War)
IN late January of 2007, 4chanpartyvan of MyCuntry (a former member of OWND) initiated a rogue attack upon an allied nation of the District and The Legion. The attack upon Grand Master Saxon of The Ministry of Tory would soon turn into what became known as the Great Lulz War. During the first few hours of MyCuntry's unwarranted attack, Grand Master Saxon attempted to get in touch with Ivan Ramirez of Norturne, OWND's leader at the time. Ramirez claimed that MyCuntry was no longer a member of OWND, and thus, did not fall under his jurisdiction. The Legion stepped in and began dealing with the situation. After many failed negotiations, the Legion declare MyCuntry an enemy, and thus earning her a spot on the Legion Hitlist.

After continued attacks upon both sides, a new element came into play. Ramirez aided MyCuntry. After contributing aid to a rogue nation, Norturne was also placed on the Legion hitlist. During the course of these wars, many Legion nations were nuked, including the District of York, who sustained considerable damage after being struck twice. As the nation of Norturne lay in utter ruins, an ally of his, Sakurazuka of Zombieland, also contributed to the war aid against Legion. Serving under a 5-man alliance by the name of the United Earth Sphere Alliance (UESA), a third nation was added to the hitlist after formally declaring war on The Legion. After many long weeks, both Norturne and Sakurazuka ceased to exist, and MyCuntry and its leaders slipped into a state of Peace for two months.
