Fyra is a gigantic tower city located on the west of Spawn. Founder and city mayor is 404thread. The city consists of multiple Titans, who hold roles in governing of the city.
Fyra Titans, citizens and politics
A Fyra Titan is synonomous with the role of a city guardian, administrator, ambassador and leader. There are 6 Titans in total and each one of them has a large degree of freedom and authority in city related issues.
Any Titan has the authority to approve new citizens, buildings and political relations with other cities and nations. However, more often than not, Titans will consult and vote on matters pertaining to politics and citizen applications.
Titans
Fyra Titans are Refl, Altun_, KaidudePlays, SapphireBjoerny and NotA_ProGamer, in no particular order. 404thread is the mayor of Fyra and the 6th Titan.
Citizens
Fyra citizens are Redtrexler, CodeLunar, Hhannes, Raelon225 in no particular order. Everyone can apply to become a Fyra citizen by talking to a titan or applying at the administration office, 2nd floor city hall.
Ministries
The Ministry of silly names has the role of naming the various villagers in Fyra and has it's headquarters in the northern wing of the city hall, 1st floor. The current ministry posts are held by Sapphirebjoerny, Refl, Nand and 404thread.
Politics
Fyra is a server superpower and possesses various high-tech defensive military installations. For example, the advanced weapons system WAPAN (Warden Antennae Powered Armageddon Nuke) is a server-first nuclear armament system that is able to reach any coordinate on the map in under 1 hour. In case of a war or sometimes as a preemtive measure, Fyra has the ability to silence aggression towards the city and their allies.
Most geopolitical issues are handled by the city mayor (404thread) or the minister of national defense - MOND for short (Refl).
Alliances and hostilities
A WAPAN base is currently under construction at Moon Lagoon to deter future hostilities against this glorious nation.
Fyra had a short conflict with it's northern neighbour, the now relocated Claytown, in june 2013. The dispute was settled in a "civilized" manner and almost no players were harmed in the process.
City layout
Fyra has four main pillars going from ground level all the way up to sky limit. These hold up logs and scaffolding for the numerous floors of the city. There are side floors that stretch between two pillars, and central floors that make up the main residential area. The central floors are each oriented in different directions to allow for easy vertical travel by elytra.
Travel
The preferred method of travel in Fyra is by elytra. There are also alternative ways to travel around the city.
- A skylift can be found on the eastern side of Fyra (towards Spawn) that will take visitors up to the lowest side floor.
- Water elevators can be found at the inner corner of each pillar for upwards travel.
- Each side floor is connected horizontally to it's counterpart via Ice-boat roads.
- /Warp fyra will take you to the city hall.
- /warp fyraf1 through fyraf8 will take you to the corresponding central floor.
- /warp basalt will take you to the basalt generator, the source of all the basalt.
Floors of Fyra
Floors are arranged into three color sectors that define the purpose. Red floors denote the anarchy district. Everyone can build on red floor spaces and no permit is needed. Normal city rules still apply. Green floors denote citizen space. Fyra citizens and Titans are allowed to build on green floors without a permit.Cyan floors contain various administrative buildings and therefore these spaces are reserved for Titans. Building on these spaces is permitted only with a permit from a Fyra Titan.
The city hall building is found on the third floor. The southern wing of city hall, 2nd floor, contains the city administration and applications office.
City rules
In addition to normal server rules, Fyra has it's own 4 simple rules which apply within the city:
- A titan's word is law.
- Under no circuimstances should anyone alter or destroy Fyra pillars, floor or infrastructure. A permit can only be granted by the mayor.
- Mark your area so that others know you intent to build here. Builds inactive for over a year can be removed by city administration, upon neccessity.
- Don't build in an area that is clearly marked to belong to someone else. Use common sense.
