Paris is a major nation on Betaonline. The nation has rich history and is one of the server's major places of interest. It houses several historically significant builds and locations, and is one of the wealthiest and most powerful entities on the server. Several well-known players such as raddicted, Norbert011 and Mope222 has their roots in the town.
Paris has been involved in almost every major event on the server. It saw significant action during the Dupe War, and was the main theater of the Parisian Civil War.
History[edit]
Formation[edit]
The Paris Hole and the Mac House is the oldest builds in Paris. They were both constructed by 44cckw before making the server public. However, 44cckw would eventually move out of what is today Paris in early March 2022, due to Mope222 constructing his house in the area. Norbert011 would set up base in the area, while FinsCon and 44cckw decided to found the city of Oak Hills on the other side of the water. The territory which encompassed what is today Paris, would be integrated into Oak Hills as Harbor Department in mid-late March. raddicted, who would later become an important part in the Paris' struggle for independence, would join the server on 13 March 2022.
On 25 March 2022, a diamond block would be stolen from the Mac House Church. The thief was never identified, since many players at the time had duped diamonds on them from the Dupe War. The thief was suspected to be Hola2.
Birch Hills[edit]
During late March 2022, birch trees would be planted all across Paris. This was supposed to be in contrast of Oak Hills; a yin and yang. The birch trees would be chopped down some time in late April-early May.
Secession[edit]
The name Paris was first used for the region by raddicted on 1 April 2022. The usage of this name would later be solidified the same month, when raddicted began to refer to the area as simply Paris, instead of the Harbor department or Oak Hills. This nationalism and new identity quickly grew larger, and many more players on the server such as Tsar_Boris and Norbert would also begin to take this name into use. Builds in Paris would also expand during this period, and the region would experience a boost in popularity and prosperity.
Due to the ever growing Parisian nationalism that started in April, 44cckw felt that he needed to do something before things could possibly get out of hand. Paris had always been formally part of Oak Hills under the Harbor department, but the territory had begun to act more as an de-facto independent entity. The situation had reached its melting point in August 2022, and an agreement was settled between delegates from Oak Hills and Paris that same month. The Harbor department was officially disbanded on 28 August 2022, and Paris peacefully seceded from Oak Hills, officially becoming an sovereign entity. Norbert and raddicted officially became the dual leaders of Paris.
Parisian Civil War[edit]
Golden Age of Paris[edit]
Parisian reforms[edit]
Culture[edit]
Paris has developed distinct culture on Betaonline, which is one of the main reasons behind it's secession from Oak Hills.
Paris is known on Betaonline for it's technological advancement and engineering. The outskirts of Paris holds the Industrial Zone, which is home to many advanced redstone machines that produce the famous Paris Slabs, among other things. The Paris Sawmill cuts tree into smooth planks and has replaced the previous inefficient farm located in Oak Hills. AlphaPlayer5345's 2-Bit processor is also located in this area. Other than technology, Paris is known for the Paris Stew, which is made by raddicted using the finest organically grown mushrooms there is. This is a very sought-after food by non-residents of Paris. The hunger problem in Paris is virtually non-existent, as all Niggas in Paris can receive free bread from the massive bread storage located in central Paris.
Flag[edit]
The red represents the blood the Niggas in Paris shed during the dupe wars, while the blue symbolizes the Harbor Department; the origins of Paris.

Districts[edit]
Modern districts[edit]
Birchpost Cliffs[edit]
Birchpost Cliffs is the oldest department of Paris. It encompasses the starting point of the town's creation, and houses several historical and culturally important builds such as Paris Mansion and the Mudhole, as well as the infamous Paris Hole. The name of the department is a reference to the Birch Hills period from late March to early May 2022.
Craft Mountains Range[edit]
The Craft Mountains Range districts features Paris' tallest mountain - Mt. Craft. The name of the mountain is derived from the crafting tables partially covered its west side. The lower, north-eastern part of the mountain range was previously inhabited by KirbyThings. The Betaonline Railroad passes through the district.
Parisian Plain[edit]
The Parisian Plain district is the industrial zone of Paris. It is home to the Mt. Craft Lumber Company and Paris Industries Ltd. which is currently under construction. Builder's Fucking Processor can also be found on the border between the plains and the Great Golden Dunes district. In the future, a harbor is planned to be built in this district, an homage to the old Harbor department of Oak Hills.
Great Golden Dunes[edit]
The Great Golden Dunes is a coastal district of Paris. Its the second oldest district of Paris, and encompasses the large sand banks in southern Paris. The buildings here include the famous Parisian Bridge, Cactus Farm, CH-54 helicopter, the Oil Rig, Builder's processor, and multiple houses built by raddicted.
Betaleaf Jungle[edit]
Betaleaf Jungle is a wild part of Paris that prominently features a "beta 1.7.3" text visible on the dynmap (thus the name "Betaleaf Jungle"). Mope Hill is located in this district - the second tallest peak in Paris after Mt. Craft.
Old districts[edit]
L'île des fous[edit]
L'île des fous (Translated: The island of fools) used to be a location of one of 46mm's dupe stashes. Currently, the only facilities on the island are a poorly constructed bridge and a lone crafting table. The district was disbanded on 1 October 2023 as the Parisian Reforms took effect, and was merged with the larger Parisian Plain department.
Îles de merde[edit]
Îles de merde (Translated: Shit islands) was a district that encompassed the two sand islands north of Spawn. These islands were temporarily owned by epikrika after his banishment from the Great Golden Dunes department. The islands featured a small dirt bridge and several other builds made up of dirt, hence the island's name. The district was disbanded following the Parisian Reforms on 1 October 2023. No nation or town has claimed the islands for themselves.
L'île du roi[edit]
The island of L'île du Roi (Translated: King's island) was claimed by Norbert and incorporated into Paris some time in December 2022. Previously, the area used to house one of 46mm's many dupe stashes. During this discovery, a spawner was located underneath the ground, which prompted the colonization of the island. In late 2022, possibly early 2023, Tsar_Boris tried to build his town Villa del Rey on the island. He was later forced to leave due to Norbert being unhappy with the unlawful building on Parisian land. The district sat quietly for itself for the remainder of it's existence, and was disbanded following the Parisian Reforms in October 2023. Currently, the island is uninhabited and unclaimed.
Sneed Archipelago[edit]
The Sneed Archipelago consisted of three islands; one big and two small. The islands was controversially claimed by Norbert and incorporated into Paris in November-December 2022. This move ignited minor tensions between Dankstadt and Paris, as TriKhazan had planned to build something on the islands. The annexation of the islands was also widely unpopular with the rest of the players on the server, and the district was criticized for being too far away and disconnected from metropolitan Paris. Although Norbert and Raddicted had big plans for the islands, nothing was ever built on it by Paris. The Sneed Archipelago was officially disbanded on 1 October 2023 following the Parisian Reforms, and was transferred to the ownership of Dankstadt.
