[edit] (A) Paova Major

  • This continent contains 639 countries in total, with usually around 1/6th free for new presidents. This is a relatively peaceful continent, with few large agressive empires, spread over a large amount of regions. This continent would be a good place for a new player, looking to become a member and expand their empire.

  • Sportacus (Lazy Town) A highly militarised player, and chairman of the "Honor Virtutis Praemium" federation.
  • Shinju[1] (Shintopia) Owns many 0% tax countries, and mixes an economic style of play with an average amount of military mobilisation. Empire seized by WildEyes and Xaldin.

[edit] History

  • 14th of February, 2007: Little Upsilon starts running for the first time, with the bonus of being, at the time, twice as fast as the other worlds, performing 6 game months per day.
  • 15th of March, 2008: 'The Ides of March' brought war upon Little Upsilon. Off world conflicts between Scottie and Sam Houston had reached a climax, and thus spilled over to Little Upsilon, with Barney Rubble, Sam Houston and Pink Floyd all declaring war upon Scottie's Empire. This series of declarations rent the largest federation of Little Upsilon (Government) in two, with an avalanche of federation war treaties activating. A small number of players decided to challenge these actions, and were systematically declared upon also, activating treaties in yet another federation, and causing many neutral players to be drawn into the war. At this point Laguna become involved, forcing a ceasefire between hostile parties, and compensation to be paid to the injured parties. An uneasy peace remains.
  • 29th of June, 2008: 'The Slock Shock (a.k.a. The Slock Event), matched up the world's two largest federations. Valde Subsidium (VS) and the Lacerta Defense Initiative (LDI), were on the brink of war due to land disputes. Slocketer, a member of the LDI, declared war on Kevin Henry, a member of VS. This triggered a series of war declarations between the two federations. Although a cease-fire was reached in only 15 hours, the war resulted in an estimated 180-190 million sim deaths.
  • 10th of October, 2008: After weeks of conflicts between various feds and the player Wendy, the war spilled over to federations. The LDI declared war on players that associated with Wendy, known on Golden Rainbow, as the UC. The UC/LDI/Wendy war was most noteworthy due to the floods of hostile forum posts that it provoked. The war dragged on until January 1, 2009, when a cease-fire agreement was reached between the UC and the LDI.


(Significant events in LU's history)

[edit] Politics

Little Upsilon is a small and mainly economic based world, which most players use to generate assets due to the fast timescale. Politics remains relatively civilised, the world being dominated by three or four large federations, such as Lacerta Defense Initiative, Seven Nation Army, and Valde Subsidum. 'Aggressive negotiations' can play a part once a players assets are threatened by hostile bidding or military action, yet due to the high prices of weapons on the LU market, the favoured response to this is often strategic.
