About

Overview

The Regencies is a player group and collective territory on the Shepherd world of DogCraft. It consists of nine Regents with bases spread across a million square blocks of land on the Greater Eastern lands of Shepherd.

Regency

First and foremost, a Regency is a state of autonomy. This status grants a Regent categorical control over a territory. Given the proximity of the eight Regencies to each other, this basic framework was adopted to distinguish their boundaries of influence. Although the idea of autonomy sounds rather exclusive, the Regencies share an interest in the development of mutual infrastructure (i.e. roads, farms, lore), and often partake in shenanigans, among others. Although they are all equal, the city of Leon serves as the groups governmental seat and as meeting place to make decisions for the group.

In actuality, a Regent acts in place of an absent ruler. This circumstance is extrapolated in-game as the Regencies have no absolute leader among them. This ensures that collaborative objectives are met.

Territories

Eight base-projects tightly clustered 6,000 to 8,000 blocks east of Shepherd spawn constitute the Regencies. At the middle lies Leon and the island of Saint Pierre. To the west and southwest are West Point Research and zacattack2097's unnamed town, respectively. Elysian Meadows is on the southern side of the cluster, neighbouring Sunshine City, a Y21-led base project. To the southeast is the Valkaknight Territory. Meanwhile, crossing the huge eastern ocean is Vulcan. The northern area of Leon mainland is reserved for CajunNinja's Castle.

History

Inception

Whilst anticipating a world reset,  strawberrysham and  zacattack2097 drew from their harmonious quasi-joint winter bases a scheme to be neighbours again for the world to come. Time after, much consideration led them to recruit winter-baser and fellow lowercaser,  eybwam, to form the infamous Chaos Trio, wreaking server-wide shenanigans and winning December 2021's Build Battle. Together, they formulated rudimentary concepts for their ideal, integrated tristate area - strawberrysham's nature park, zacattack2097's rural town, and eybwam's urban city. Such plan evolved to accommodate a fourth area — a fantasy village — after another lowercaser,  ashapink, was invited over. This group would later identify as the Toaster Quartet, in reference to an immortalized quipping by strawberrysham. Thereafter, they would construct the Leon Central Station to become the founding Regents of Leon.

Considerations for the Regent status of Vulcan mayors  Lendog1888 and  M_Sky3 began late June 2022. Although being located across a large ocean east of Saint-Pierre, the premise of an eventual eastern bridge connection was an equally large deciding factor. They achieved Regent status early August that year.
