📦 Requirements

• Paper or Spigot 1.21.1+ (Paper recommended)
• Java 21
• No dependencies — Dynmap / BlueMap / squaremap are optional

🚀 Quick start

1. /cyp found <name> — found your nation (costs members + iron).
2. /cyp claim — claim the chunk you're standing on. /cyp map shows your land.
3. /cyp invite <player> — grow your nation. Set a capital with /cyp capital.
4. /cyp mode — check the server style. Admins: /cyp admin mode <simple|arcade|realistic|custom>.

Game modes: SIMPLE (light claims life) · ARCADE (fast action + auto-tax) · REALISTIC (full simulation: recognition, surveys, fair wars) · CUSTOM (mix it in config.yml).

📖 How everything works

🏳️ Territory

Land is claimed per 16×16 chunk, organized into provinces under your nation. Claims protect blocks, doors, chests and villagers from outsiders. Keep chunks connected, defend your capital — if it falls and stays occupied, your nation falls.

🗳️ Politics & revolution

Choose a government: ABSOLUTE (leader decides), COUNCIL or DEMOCRACY (votes decide). Hold elections and referendums; unhappy citizens can start a revolution to overthrow the ruler.

💰 Economy

Money is physical: deposit iron, gold, diamonds and emeralds into the national bank. Big nations cause inflation, block sales shift prices, and arcade servers can charge tax per claim (miss too many and land is repossessed).

🤝 Diplomacy

Propose war, alliance, non-aggression or trade pacts. Win wars to turn losers into vassals who pay tribute every cycle — until they break free.

⚔️ Military & fair war

Recruit guard villagers, train them into sergeants, group them into divisions (attack/defend/garrison/patrol). Wars use a strength ratio: giants can't farm tiny nations for free. Occupy enemy chunks meter-by-meter, plunder them, and hold their capital to make them fall.

🕊️ Peace treaties

End wars like a statesman: cede land, demand reparations, liberate nations or dictate terms.

🙏 Ideology & religion

Adopt ideologies (imperialists squeeze vassals harder…), found religions, collect dividends and declare holy wars. Fully optional — turn it off for a secular server.

👥 Inhabitants, jobs & payroll

Your villagers are citizens: give them beds and jobs, pay wages from the treasury, and watch loyalty. Unpaid, disloyal villagers may desert or rebel. Companies (orgs) can hire and run their own banks.

🗺️ Recognition & web maps

In REALISTIC mode, new nations start unknown — send envoys, exchange maps and earn recognition before treaties stick. Everything renders live on Dynmap / BlueMap / squaremap, with occupied land and fallen nations marked.

⌨️ Main commands

Full list in-game with /cyp help. Everything is configurable in config.yml (/cyp lang switches language).

🔧 Admin playground

Testing a nations plugin alone is painful — so /cyp admin skips the grind (needs cyp.admin, ops by default):

🐛 Feedback & bugs (please!)

This snapshot needs your eyes: weird behavior, errors in console, unbalanced costs, confusing messages — report it with:

1. Plugin + server version (/version, Paper/Spigot),
2. What you did + what happened,
3. Any console error (paste it!).
