Cactus County (state): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:36, 5 August 2026

Not to be confused with the desert region of Cactus County, which the state is the namesake of.

Cactus County is a state consisted of several towns, as well as areas belonging to the Shire International Space Agency, which the state is known most for. The state is also known as the namesake of the Cactus County desert region.

Geography and structures

Cactus County consists of three established towns: the Hay-Lige Old Town, Nurburg, and Mojave, as well as special areas for the SISA Complex and SISA Launchpad. Other parts include the sparsely developed, snowy northwestern territory, which features a building competition build by Smoot.

Nurburg is the transportation center of Cactus County, as it is the only town with a station (Cactus Central Station) and a warp point (/warp Nurburg) in the whole state. The town is named after the Nürburgring motorsport race track complex in real-world Germany, whose flag is placed all over the town. Nurburg itself is a horse race track complex. To accompany the race track, the town has horse stables, a hotel (Hotel Mamba), a betting-booth building, and a warehouse. The race track (and possibly the whole town) is credited to a player named Chrazing.

History

Cactus County was first made by Dogforcerecon. A July 2016 record by Dogforcecon mentioned Cactus County's transition to a federation consisted of two provinces: Cactus Province (possibly the central province) and Federaland (consisted of later-made boroughs), inviting other players to build in Cactus County. However, a later record showed Dogforcerecon's concern of Cactus County becoming too large. Dogforcerecon's period is rather short; they departed shortly after.

After Dogforcerecon's departure, Humzahh takes over to manage the state. Cactus County saw its highest development during Humzahh's period through the establishment of the SISA Launchpad and Complex in September 2016. Cooperations between SISA and Riverwoodian organizations such as Anthcorp and The Riverwood Humane Society are documented through a meeting in the Anthcorp Western Division, Paarsdam, Republic of Orange and Purple.

Humzahh's apparent departure in 2019 left Cactus County unmanaged. The name "Cactus County" is increasingly used to refer to the desert region as a whole, from Cathal to Palustris.
