The following time line is by no means a completed a document but rather an attempt at summarizing some of the events that have taken place in XKI since it’s birth. I hope readers will realize that better research has been particularly impeded by the current infrastructure and organisation? Of the forum posts particularly those regarding history. Co9 has done somethings to remedy this, but not nearly enough IMHO. Special thanks to nations that came forth and hopefully come forth again to add to this document. (red= see appendix for references and further documentation)
Prehistory (*A)
March or April of 2003-10000 islands was founded. It is interesting to note that XKI was a region before the NS existence of founders. (*B)
The Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization or TITO was formed in the beginning days of the 10000 Islands. The founding members of Grub, Lyonesse, Blue Canaria, Titanica, and TheSensitiveNewAge all banded together for the mutual defense of the then tiny region.
In July of 2003, the 10000 Islands was attacked at random and secretly by a griefing region (one that goes in and ejects the natives, then password protects the region to let it die) called the Empire of Power. XKI had only about 30 nations at that time. A nation by the name of New Boniventure posted a warning that XKI may be the aim of an attack by the Empire of Power.
The Empire of Power was a region roughly five times the size of the 10000 Islands. Thanks to the early warning, the stealth attack was confirmed. As Empire of Power nations flooded into the 10000 Islands, the future looked bleak as XKIs was heavily outnumbered. The only hope was to go to outside unknown regions and ask them for their help.
The call for help was sent out to many regions that night, fortunately, many responded. Some of the regions that generously lent their help were the Urbanites, Texas, The Rejected Realms Army, and several other regions.
When the NationStates update came, XKIs natives were victorious by just a single endorsement. The battle went on for two more days, but help flooded in and the region that had dwarfed us in size was soundly defeated*.
(*app.1.)
By the end, the Grand Duchy of Lyonnesse native UN delegate, had received 40 or so endorsements.(*2.)
As a result of that time, the 10000 Islands formally signed alliances with Texas and the Urbanites, and established friendly relations with the other regions that lent their help. TITO's goal after that attack was to not only provide for the defense of the 10000 Islands, but to also aid other regions when they are unfairly attacked.
The 10000 Islands also later took possession of the Empire of Power, creating the first state of the 10000 Islands. The now empty Empire of Power serves as a reminder that no invader region is outside the grasp of the 10000 Islands.
It was after this battle that Grub became founder of the region, as before that time regions didn’t have founders. In his time serving as founder Grub has never vetoed any proposals that the Co9 have voted favorably for.
Before December of 2003, the 10000 Islands helped to again defeat the Empire of Power, when they attacked our past ally in the OSA, the Moonlit Islands.(*3.)
Discussions of the eventual 10K constitution began in early December ‘03 and ended in Early January ‘04 forged out of a desire to have more nations involved in the governmental structure of the region. Parthini was assigned the task of writing the Constitution.(*4.)
The four Senatorial positions and three Ministerial positions were created at that time.
‘Loresong’ was appointed Minister of Immigration…his recruitment letters used to say, “There’s coffee brewing in the Immigration office”. (*5.)
‘Fleeb’ was the first appointed Minister of Education and ‘Orange Karma’ was the first Minister of Labor.(*6.)
In late December of 2003 the question of XKIs having a currency was first proposed in a poll, 88% of forum voters approved of the idea.(*7.)
Since it’s founding XKI has been served by 10 different elected UN delegates and 19 different Senators.(*8. as of Dec.2006 )
10ks first elected Senators were:
New Boniventure (1/04-9/04)
TheSensitiveNewAge (1/04-5/04)
EU-topia (1/04-3/04)
Nulibert (1/04-3/04) (*9.)
January 23rd 2004 ‘Wild Thing X’ became the first nation named Official cartographer for XKIs.(*10.)
From Dec. 10th’ ‘03 –Jan.7th ‘04 10k’s population increased by 160 nations, expanding from 317 nations to 477 taking the number two spot of
largest Nation created regions in the Nation States world, ( Europe was the largest, and Alcatraz #3). (*11.)
Jan 27th 2004, XKIs’ 500th nation; ‘Triple Zero one’, arrived from the North Pacific. (*12.)
Feb. 8th 2004 ‘Osius’ was XKIs’ 600th nation (*13)
Mid March 2004 Grub had received the # 1 regional UN rankings for: Timber Woodchipping Industry, Subsidized Industry, Insurance Industry, Soda pop sector, devout, automobile manufacturing, fastest growing, but also Stupidest and least healthy. (*14.)
March 17th 2004 Eutopia was ejected from the region for being a spy. (*15.)
May 29, 2004 10000 Islands Alliance With Texas was dissolved (*16.)
In April, the first new statute and resolution amended the Constitution: Statute 2004-001 regarding prerequisites for holding office in Co9/ and resolution 2004-001 re: the Ministry of Education. *(17.)
On Apr 26, 2004 Entertainment Committee was formally instituted (*18.)
Surprisingly, April 27th 2004 a majority of forum islanders voted that they preferred walking like they had acorns up their butts to talking as if they had acorns in their mouths. (*19.)
Also in late April 2004, Grub was deleted by the moderators without reason and by mistake. Partially in thanks to generous support from his friends, he was soon reinstated.(*20.)
May 4rth of 2004 Naoi was elected Senator (replacingThe SensitiveNew Age)
In June of that year, the ‘Chancellor’ offered a University Explorer's medal for anyone who first submitted a report of a new player-created region achieving a ranking of greater than 300 in population.(*21.)
Jun 25, 2004 Grub’s population hit 3 billion..this had taken roughly 17 months of NS activity(*22.) and TITO was named best Military in NS(*22.b)
Also in June 2004, XKIs’ Constitution was revised. (*23.)
In July of 2004 a certain scandal broke out regarding Noai. Noai had been a friend of Boolari in RL and had been quite influential in 10k matters having been both an elected Senator and founder of Taco Island. Apparently Naoi had been offended that Grub hadn’t endorsed him in the May Senate race, around which time Naoi had been contacted by ‘Martian-City States’, a DEN invader region. Naoi pretended he was Fleeb and MCS accused Fleeb of being a spy. Through interception of TGs and admin access from DEN's forum, Naoi was busted. (*24.)
In September of 2004 Titanica and Fleeb were named XKI’s first TITO knights.(*25.) Knighthood has been awarded to 15 other nations since that time.(*26.)
Oct. ’04 A second statute and resolution regarding UN Delegate prerequisites for election was enacted: Resolution 2004-002.(*27.)
Also in Oct.’04 the messiest delegate election in XKI History; (*27.b)
In December of ‘O4 Resolution 2004-003 named the senate districts:
Blue Canaria North, New Republica South,Lyonnesse East, and Himes West.
The first Senatorial representatives of the districts were determined to be:
Blue Canaria North (Boolari)
New Republica South (Yavanna)
Lyonnesse East (Crackenback)
Himes West (Thewsconia) (*28.)
Also, Resolution 2004-004 concerning elections to the Senate was passed.(*29.)
The following regions have had a one time or another diplomatic relations or embassy exchanges with XKIs: Oceania,The Province, Moonlit Islands, Alcatraz,Trinity Republic,Europe,Sardaukar Confederacy,Urbanites,
NationStates,The New Meritocracy, North America,Texas, Freedom Fighters,Canada, the Rejected Realms,Italia,Supreme Union,
Nasicournia,Liberalia,Hyrule,The Lexicon,Gatesville (*30.)
Also in Dec’O4 Italian Empire declared war on Tito (*30-pre A)
April 1st 2005 Nationstates was banned by the US government! (*30A)
Jun 30, 2005 War agaist Bulgaria was declared (*31.) War officially ended in February 2007 when Bulgaria was refounded.
Jul 20, 2005, Resolution 2005-001 regarding University Criteria was approved. (*32.)
On Oct 10, 2005, discussions regarding taco currency were reinitiated (*32a.)
Mar 17, 2006, Statute 2006-001 regarding election ties and run-offs was approved.(*33.)
April Fool’s day 2006 PMS were sent out telling all nations who their ideal mate is (another Islander) (*33.b)
July 2006 Sinn Fein’s Ireland surpassed Grub as the forum’s top poster;
(*33.C)
Oct 21, 2006, Resolution 2006-002 regarding 3 new XKI holidays was approved as was Resolution 2006-001 regarding activity and deputy Ministers and Resolution 2006-003 regarding the formation of the Assembly of Nations. (*34.)

Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Girlsandboys on Dec 17, 2006, 1:41pm
I've begun the process of summing up some of XKIs' remarkable history and would appreciate very much if some older more experienced residents (....you know who you are...) would be willing to contribute whatever they recall of important events, so that the eventual document can be modified.
Particular areas of interest as yet missing are: The liberation of North Pacific and of the Phillipines, the development of taco currency and the maps, but surely there are many other events that Islanders feel should be included and that can be brought to my attention. I'm also in need of some more researchers who are willing to dig through old
files to supply the doc. with the appropriate links for an appendix that will eventually be separate document. Enigmatic has graciously volunteered to assist me with this arduous task and is currently doing research regarding old polls.
While this doc.is being compiled and revised, please feel free to sign up as a volunteer, post modifications, suggestions or express what you'd like to see more or less of regarding this time-line in this thread. It'd be fabulous if we can all commemorate XKIs 4rth Anniversary (Mar./Apr. 2007) by honoring this fine region with a classy History document!
Thanks,
Dusty Spectacle
PS by and by I'll modify the doc with the contributions and will coordinate research activities for any younger interested member nations.

I can add Economic history from the history time line. That dates from roughly November 2005, to present day...
EDIT: This is contextualised by inclusion of events relating to the economy, if not directly.

Great! When you contribute (this is relevant-as well to all eventual contributions) please also include the appropriate links to the original docs. if possible, thanks!

Righteho....I will try and find relevent links, but a lot of it is from personal messages. I have over 1,100 in my inbox, so sifting through them might be...longwinded.

I was actually involved in the Naoi scandal-it was almost successfully covered up, but I found out it'd gotten covered up and went ballistic-not to mention I was half-convinced by Naoi's BS about being framed. So I was like "OMGWTF I MAEK POAST" and boom, the lid is off. So, if you want to talk to me about it, I could probably provide some info-though you might want to check with Grub if that's all right.
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Girlsandboys on Dec 18, 2006, 11:31pm
what do you mean by cover-upped? From the historic posts I read (I'll provide links), several Islanders expressed regret that the matter was kept so classified until it was almost over. I should also include the link to his apology. June 2005 I think.
But you have been around a good while, as has Alfonie, Ad Infinitum, ALPMACO, Mandrill, Fleeb (is Fleeb still around? I've never seen him on the forum) and Grub, of course...any other major or notorious events you can recall or come to mind that I've had a blind spot too?
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Fleeb on Yesterday at 5:22am
Fleeb is around. You have the general story line pretty well--commendations on the research. Some of the better stories will probably never see the light of day, but that just adds to the mystique of the Islands, doesn't it?
Loresong, BTW, was a lady.
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Neo-Sheynat on Yesterday at 2:24pm
Well, what I mean by covered up is that Naoi, once convicted, had turned over his account and his nation was going to be allowed to CTE. Izdambodia somehow got wind that something was up and sent me sniffing around. Via Boolari, I got hold of Naoi. I went and posted, I don't remember what, but basically it was a long rant, the point of which was "we've been lied to." Grub deleted it, because it was overly inflammatory (I think he basically thought Naoi had convinced me) and then 'fessed up in his own post.
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Girlsandboys on Yesterday at 2:38pm
are there any other notorius convictions/expulsions, or witch burning trials you recall? I read a few names but never the full story behind them. Were you around when the great wars in the Philipines and North Pacific took place? Any other bigtime wars (besides Bugaria) you recall?
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Neo-Sheynat on Yesterday at 3:07pm
I was there for the North Pacific. Pretty sure I missed the Phillipines. I got here not long after Eu-Topia, I think-that was another Coucil traitor. I think Miscellaneous Members was too-these were all a couple years ago. There was the DEN-the DEN general managed to get Grub deleted for a couple hours. Then Grub was restored and he was deleted. So we invaded DEN.
OH! Also! The delegate election of October, 2004. The messiest election in my memory.

There may be other threads about this, but these are the big ones. They're on page eight of the History Department. Too complext to really explain, but what happened was a guy named Bratesbourgh, with like, five posts previously and no TITO missions ran for the delegacy. He would have lost, except he called in every favor he had and had people literally moving in just to endorse him. Dozens of nations with 100-300 million populations all endorsing him. He was a serious threat to win, despite the old guard preferring TSNA, and eventually questions were raised about whether he could legally run for the delegacy at all. Eventually he backed down-read the threads for more.

Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Girlsandboys on Dec 17, 2006, 1:41pm
I've begun the process of summing up some of XKIs' remarkable history and would appreciate very much if some older more experienced residents (....you know who you are...) would be willing to contribute whatever they recall of important events, so that the eventual document can be modified.
Particular areas of interest as yet missing are: The liberation of North Pacific and of the Phillipines, the development of taco currency and the maps, but surely there are many other events that Islanders feel should be included and that can be brought to my attention. I'm also in need of some more researchers who are willing to dig through old
files to supply the doc. with the appropriate links for an appendix that will eventually be separate document. Enigmatic has graciously volunteered to assist me with this arduous task and is currently doing research regarding old polls.
While this doc.is being compiled and revised, please feel free to sign up as a volunteer, post modifications, suggestions or express what you'd like to see more or less of regarding this time-line in this thread. It'd be fabulous if we can all commemorate XKIs 4rth Anniversary (Mar./Apr. 2007) by honoring this fine region with a classy History document!
Thanks,
Dusty Spectacle
PS by and by I'll modify the doc with the contributions and will coordinate research activities for any younger interested member nations.

I can add Economic history from the history time line. That dates from roughly November 2005, to present day...
EDIT: This is contextualised by inclusion of events relating to the economy, if not directly.

Great! When you contribute (this is relevant-as well to all eventual contributions) please also include the appropriate links to the original docs. if possible, thanks!

Righteho....I will try and find relevent links, but a lot of it is from personal messages. I have over 1,100 in my inbox, so sifting through them might be...longwinded.

no prob...links aren't obligatory, only helpful when and if they exist...

I was actually involved in the Naoi scandal-it was almost successfully covered up, but I found out it'd gotten covered up and went ballistic-not to mention I was half-convinced by Naoi's BS about being framed. So I was like "OMGWTF I MAEK POAST" and boom, the lid is off. So, if you want to talk to me about it, I could probably provide some info-though you might want to check with Grub if that's all right.

what do you mean by cover-upped? From the historic posts I read (I'll provide links), several Islanders expressed regret that the matter was kept so classified until it was almost over. I should also include the link to his apology. June 2005 I think.
But you have been around a good while, as has Alfonie, Ad Infinitum, ALPMACO, Mandrill, Fleeb (is Fleeb still around? I've never seen him on the forum) and Grub, of course...any other major or notorious events you can recall or come to mind that I've had a blind spot too?

Fleeb is around. You have the general story line pretty well--commendations on the research. Some of the better stories will probably never see the light of day, but that just adds to the mystique of the Islands, doesn't it?
Loresong, BTW, was a lady.

Well, what I mean by covered up is that Naoi, once convicted, had turned over his account and his nation was going to be allowed to CTE. Izdambodia somehow got wind that something was up and sent me sniffing around. Via Boolari, I got hold of Naoi. I went and posted, I don't remember what, but basically it was a long rant, the point of which was "we've been lied to." Grub deleted it, because it was overly inflammatory (I think he basically thought Naoi had convinced me) and then 'fessed up in his own post.

are there any other notorius convictions/expulsions, or witch burning trials you recall? I read a few names but never the full story behind them. Were you around when the great wars in the Philipines and North Pacific took place? Any other bigtime wars (besides Bugaria) you recall?
Re: Time-line HELP PLEASE!
Post by Neo-Sheynat on Yesterday at 3:07pm
I was there for the North Pacific. Pretty sure I missed the Phillipines. I got here not long after Eu-Topia, I think-that was another Coucil traitor. I think Miscellaneous Members was too-these were all a couple years ago. There was the DEN-the DEN general managed to get Grub deleted for a couple hours. Then Grub was restored and he was deleted. So we invaded DEN.
OH! Also! The delegate election of October, 2004. The messiest election in my memory.

There may be other threads about this, but these are the big ones. They're on page eight of the History Department. Too complext to really explain, but what happened was a guy named Bratesbourgh, with like, five posts previously and no TITO missions ran for the delegacy. He would have lost, except he called in every favor he had and had people literally moving in just to endorse him. Dozens of nations with 100-300 million populations all endorsing him. He was a serious threat to win, despite the old guard preferring TSNA, and eventually questions were raised about whether he could legally run for the delegacy at all. Eventually he backed down-read the threads for more.
