About
Constantinople is one of the oldest towns on the LibreMC server, founded on March 30th, 2025 by Aespera. It was the second official town to be established on the server and quickly became historically significant due to being the first settlement with a working villager breeder, marking a key milestone in early server development.
Throughout its history, Constantinople has served as a capital city for numerous nations, including the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Earth, the Eastern Roman Empire, however the most important and longest-lasting one was the United Nations. Despite frequent shifts in allegiance and renaming to reflect these political changes, Constantinople has remained a major hub of culture, trade, and influence.
History
Founding
The town was founded by Aespera on March 30th, 2025, Constantinople was the second town on the server. It quickly distinguished itself by hosting the first functioning villager breeder.
Roman Empire Era
Constantinople initially served as the eastern seat of the Roman Empire, but eventually left when Aespera sought to form a mercenary group and claim the Nether.
Shifting Allegiances
Over time, Constantinople became the capital of multiple nations: the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Gaia, the United Nations, and the Eastern Roman Empire. Each change brought a corresponding renaming of the city.
Rejoining Rome
After these periods of independence, Constantinople peacefully rejoined the Roman Empire, though it later left again due to disputes regarding Aespera’s ambitions.
Gaia and the UN
Constantinople became the capital of Gaia and later the United Nations, both of which peaked at #2 on the server leaderboard before the collapse of the UN. This collapse led to Constantinople permanently rejoining Rome.
Leadership Changes
After Aespera moved to Antioch, Toutpetitmoineau assumed leadership of Constantinople. Under Tout, the town’s population skyrocketed from 1 to 10. The town also became the richest on LibreMC at the time.
As summer ended, Toutpetitmoineau handed ownership of Constantinople to Tragiclangton.

Constantinople merged with the nearby settlement of Constanta, creating the modern-day city of Constantinople known today.
