History
Texas was founded on the 21st of March, 2021 by Mihail_Jackboot. Texas was founded on several principles, including, The right for smaller nations to be independent, and remain free of harassment from imperial powers, also to be a nation leading in infrastructure, and architecture.

Texas started out as just the city and surrounding area of Austin, but has quickly expanded into the full state of Texas. The capital was the first building built in the nation with many more buildings following. Texas prides itself in its Architecture, and building beauty.

Texas' first action was to assist the small nation of Byzantion remain "a free place from the bigotry of the Hittite empire". Byzantion was a breakaway state from the Hittites, and though the Texans fought against the Empire, they could not defeat them. This was humiliating for the Texans, and they would not forget the event.

After the Hittite Civil War, the Texans were made plainly aware that the European threat could well become an issue in the Americas, and started a national focus on fortifying all towns, borders, as well and training its members to better fight. Thus its three fortresses were born, Fort Duck in El Paso built by, Minister of Tourism Yardly Escariot, Fort Elliot in Amarillo built by Minister of Commerce SamuelFreeman69, and The Alamo built by a group effort, by all ministers, and head of state Mihail_Jackboot.

The Roman Empire saw the architectural prowess of the Texans, and agreed to a deal where Texans would develop Roma in its entirety. In exchange for the development Texans would receive a large sum of currency, an alliance with Rome, and the city of Gothenburg. Development is ongoing in Roma currently.

Hittite Civil War
The city of Byzantion, having broken away from the Hittite Empire before Texas was founded, was in desperate need of allies. Heeding his friend's call, Mihail and the rest of the future Texan players founded the nation of Texas and immediately set to work inviting Byzantion into the nation. Once the Civil War began, the Texans fought hard for the small town of Byzantion, but could not best the Empire. Not wanting the war to spill over to the new world Texas signed a peace with the Hittite Empire, under the condition that Samuel could take some possessions and raze a few political buildings. Despite the Hittite Empire agreeing to the conditions they did not initially honor them, thus sealing Texas' view that the Hittite King was untrustworthy.

The Great War
Texas' involvement in The Great War began when the nation of Hanseatic Bremen requested assistance fighting United Values. The Texans fought hard and spilt blood with their European allies, eventually defeating the UV and their allies after hairy_sonic switched sides. Though the conflict did end in the favor of the HRE and Texas with a peace treaty signed with Mexico, and soon after the Hittite Empire fell.

Despite the Texans losing men and equipment in the war, they were left relatively unscathed. Texas soon signed a non-aggression pacts with their neighbors in the Imperio del Dragon. With the American continent secured, Texas feels more able to intervene in European conflicts to come.
