Alpha Sea Union is a republic which guarantees self-management to every member state. ASU is a country of advanced redstone engineering, profitable farms, prodigious architecture and incredible culture. ASU is known for it's gigantic underwater buildings and top-notch terraforming.
===== History =====
04-04-2020 [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] glanced upon the surface of fresh waters of the Alpha Sea that surrounds the spawn area and decided to challenge building traditions by building underwater using the power of potions, sponges and conduits. In couple of dives a flat area that allowed comfortable underwater construction was located and construction of the Dome began. Four days later the Dome was finished and filled with rare trees and plants from around the world, upon completion [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] declared creation of the independent settlement - [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]].

Around this time Rofler & ALWX settled north of spawn, slowly creating their own island and building the first Iron Farm on Harmony.

Seeing the poor state of infrastructure and transport system of the new land [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] decided to build an underwater train station that would allow connection to eight different subway lines. After gathering most of the clay from the swamp biome and brewing hundreds of potions construction began. Most of the building was done under effect of invisibility potions as spawn rates were high and hoards of drowned were swimming around the construction area. As the train station was finished, the only thing left to do was to dry it and build the rail lines, which was done with help of the [[nations:swampland|Swampland's]] leader - acidtripper and [[nations:belrunia|Belrunia's]] leader - Kloware and [[nations:konradia|Konradia's]] leader - caca_de_nariz. After a cheerful opening with fireworks the last brick was laid and the name "Grand Ceghlin" was given to the train station.

Not long after ALWX constructed a mansion at his base and outlined the future borders of his [[settlements:beacon_island|island]]. Dzidman called the structure "cancer island", this derogatory name wasn't taken too seriously and despite some degree of pressure between the two settlements the situation resolved peacefully.

Continuing work on Harmonia's infrastructure [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] built a public bamboo and sugarcane farms. Around this time RandyBender stumbled upon the [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]] facilities and was impressed to the point of joining. Right after obtaining [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]] citizenship RandyBender proved his worth and his skills by building a public auto-smelter nearby the bamboo and sugarcane farm. 

Then the drying of an ocean monument was suggested by [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]], the project was sharply calculated and described on paper, which brought a lot of attention and sponsors (like caca_de_nariz and Rofler) to its construction.  Building the borders and drying the monument area took almost a week of hard work. [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]] citizens and beacon islanders united to bring this abnormal structure to life. After drying the inner part of the glass border was terraformed and forested and a prismarine farm was manufactured inside of the monument. The construct was christened the "Hall Of R'lyeh" and became ASU's capital.

=== Unification ===

Alpha Sea Union was constituted after two already established settlements - [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]] and [[settlements:beacon_island|Beacon Island]] were united by their governors - [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] and ALWX respectively. Work on common projects made the governors realize the power of teamwork, and geographical proximity dictated common goals. Right after unification, [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] and AWLX signed the Constitution of Alpha Sea Union in the Hall Of R'lyeh. 

=== Post-Unification Life===

Shortly after two settlements united, RandyBender constructed ASU's private yev trading hall. New bernds - swifty 321 and shadowisthatyou immigrated to the Union and quickly received citizenship.
[[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] organised nation's building materials stockpile inside the Hall Of R'lyeh, where every trusted member of the nation can come and take resources, he also built some offices for ASU administration there.
For the most part life after unification was peaceful for both Beacon Islanders and residents of [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]], there was not much of a cultural exchage, but economies of those city-states contributed each other. 

From the end of 2020 till the mid of 2021 Alpha Sea Union went through a stage of stagnation, when not much have happened at all. In the summer of 2021 [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan]] returned to work on [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]], focusing on creating more farms this time. ALWX and Rolfer also continued their work, addig some visual design to their previous farms and building new ones.
===== Geography =====
Alpha Sea Union has non-typical geography. As most of [[settlements:vostorg-12|Vostorg-12]] is located underwater in the Alpha Sea, and [[settlements:beacon_island|Beacon Island]], north of it - is a man-made island that is currently being terraformed by ALWX.

Farms of [[settlements:beacon_island|Beacon island]] are all private and mostly located not on the island itself, but on the snowy coast north from it in the place called Promzona. ALWX and Rofler built such farms as: gold farm, iron farm, inc farm, spider farm. Their iron and gold farm is a heavy industry streamroller of this nation.

===== Culture =====
The culture of ASU is mostly represented by it's spectacular architecture, represented by AWXS's Mansion and terraformed artificial island and [[people:danfunman|DanFunMan's]] "Grand Ceghlin" and the "Hall of Rl'yeh".
