The end of 'The Med'

The Med came to end in Janurary 2006, certian important nations left for the other Mediterranean reigon, The Meditterean, which had been restarted in September 2005. The decrease in players became the Mediterrean's undoing. Edenburg spearheaded a move with fellow RGC members New Kingman and Freedomstaki. New Kingman accepted and after contacting Freedomstaki, they jumped ship leaving the Med in shmables. Even more countries jumped ship and now the old Med is down to 8 users.

Rebirth

Upon the re-founding of the region by one of the original Med powers almost all the nations from The Mediterranean have either returned or joined 'The Med'. The region is currently going through a tremendous spurt of growth and with it came the return of splendid RP'ing.
