The City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur (commonly known as "Wilburia") is a city founded by ostrich1414 on January 24th, 2020. Unlike any of ostrich1414's previous cities, Wilburia is fully governed and dictated by one religion, The Order of Wilbur, which forms the culture, society and politics of the city. Wilburia aims to honor the name of the one true god, Wilbur, whilst simultaneously forming a fully-functional, self-sufficient city with an effective industry and Wilburian-style infrastructure. Much like his previous cities, Wilburia adheres to a modern city theme.

History

Dawn of a New Era

After the fall and abandonment of Yittrium in early January 2020, ostrich1414 found himself in a precarious situation: he was homeless, poor, and lacking any direction in SimPvP. Since he had wanted to work on a solo base for some time, he took this new opportunity to start fresh and begin a new city, eager to leave behind the death and destruction of his bases in 2019. In fact, when deciding on a new location and theme for his new city, ostrich1414 was struck by a vision - a vision of Wilbur, calling out for ostrich1414 to establish a base in his honor. Thus, ostrich1414 would decide to do so, and discovered a location to settle at.

On January 24th, the City of the Divine Lord, Wilbur - more commonly known as "Wilburia" - was born. Ostrich1414 spent the first few days completely flattening out the terrain of the plains biome he had chosen, as his city plan he envisioned required a flat, clean landmass. Next, ostrich1414 began construction of Wilburia's first major build: a statue of the Holy Lord Wilbur himself. This statue would become the centerpiece of the city, serving as its main plaza and landmark.

Pre-City Demolition

After the statue's completion, ostrich1414 began work on the first two buildings of the city, as well as a portion of its road system. With a strict city plan in mind, ostrich1414 had high expectations; unfortunately, the result of his work would prove to be less than stellar. Within a day of their construction, ostrich1414 completely tore down and removed the two buildings he had created, unsatisfied by the results.

From Solo Base to Growing City

While ostrich1414 had originally founded Wilburia with the intentions of starting a solo base, he soon realized one major thing: he needed help. Viewing Wilburia as potential to start something new and amazing, ostrich1414 required the assistance of others; thus, between late January and early February, ostrich1414 would recruit three new members to the base, each possessing a skill that would be crucial in helping Wilburia grow.

Zepheron would be the first member invited to Wilburia; he was soon followed by both cheesy_chips22 and Porkington, respectively, both of whom ostrich1414 had based with before. Now that a solid playerbase had been assembled, Wilburia began to grow exponentially as ostrich1414's vision of the city center was being fleshed out.

Around the central Wilbur statue, four new skyscrapers were erected: two by ostrich1414, one by Zepheron and one by cheesy_chips22. This zone of the city would be meticulously planned and calculated, becoming ostrich1414's first true planned city as the crew made the correct measures to ensure the city plan lived up to its proposed standards. Each skyscraper would have a function, ranging from agriculture to storage to office spaces. As the city was already growing exponentially within a little over a week after its inception, Wilburia was showing great promise for the future.

Meanwhile, Wilburia would also be working on building its reputation and its industry. Zepheron would take a key position in handling the city's growing farm production as ostrich1414 established a formal alliance with VetoTheNeato's city, Takyon. Despite having originally been proposed as a small solo base, Wilburia was quickly turning into a global city.
