Oak Hills is a nation on Betaonline, and together with Paris makes up one of the most important areas on the server.

History

First Settlements

Dupe Wars

Oak Hills was the main battleground during the Dupe Wars, and was the city that was hit the hardest. The first dupe stashes was discovered here, at the Oak Hills Pier and inside the first Nomad Hut. The town was also targeted with griefs in April, with both Revert and 46mm targeting the city. Luckily, the server restored from backup after these incidents.

Paris' Secession

Paris' status was questioned by 44cckw in August 2022. While it had always been semi-formally part of Oak Hills under the name of Harbor department, it acted more as an independent entity, with residents wanting more autonomy. The question of wherever or not Paris was its own city had always been lingering, but had never been brought up properly until now. 44cckw discussed this with raddicted and Norbert, both of whom act as the unofficial mayors of the territory. Harbor department was disbanded on 28 August 2022, and Paris peacefully seceded from Oak Hills.

Rules

Oak Hills has a set of rules that citizens must follow in order to be allowed to live in the town.

Bridges need to let people pass under.
Do not build near other people.
Respect historical builds.
Do not leave trees floating.

Government

The government of Oak Hills is small. The legislature and judiciary is the Oak Hills Court, which creates laws, holds court-cases and convicts criminals. The executive branch of the government is the majors, 44cckw and FinsCon. Every Oak Hills citizen is also automatically member of the town council. This council can call meetings, discuss laws and other matters.

Departments

Downtown

Downtown Department is the largest and most populous of Oak Hills' departments. It has acted as the city's cultural center, with many big events such as the Dupe Wars having taken place there. Arguably one of the server's most busy spots, it will go down in Betaonline history as one of the most important locations on the server.

Lake

Lake Department is the most rural of the departments. While it was officially formed in July 2022 by 44cckw, there had previously been built several structures on the territory, the most well known one being the Oak Hills Sign. ZillyArt32 would be the first inhabitant of the region, though it was at that point in time not considered part of Oak Hills. The general area of Zil's house would be nicknamed Trannyville, though the name was later changed to Lake department to better reflect the nature of the location.

Hill

Hill Department is the youngest of the departments. Officially formed on 18 September 2022, it was previously inhabited by 46mm during his parole in April 2022, and was the location of one of Revert's dupe stashes. Today, the Dupe War Museum is located in the department, as well as many other minor buildings with no permanent populace.

Previous Departments

Harbor/Paris

Harbor Department, now known as Paris, was previously a district of Oak Hills. It was considered an integral part of Oak Hills, and with the implementation of the department-system it would be known as Harbor department. Harbor department officially disbanded on 28 August 2022, though it was de-facto considered its own town long before that.

Harbor department has been used to refer to the entirety of modern-day Paris, though the original intention was to have the harbor department encompass what is today the Parisian departments of Parisian Plain and Great Golden Dunes, with Birchpost Cliffs remaining apart of Oak Hills' Downtown department. This was never put into action, and never left the idea-board.
