Presidency? Heh, more like tyranny.

Shlatt declares himself Emperor, banishes Wilbur and Tommy from l'manburg, forces strange rules, laws, abs taxes on the people and changes the name of l'manburg to manburg because he doesn't take Ls.

During this fun stuff we got a few new people. Ant Frost and ninja. But also the greatest minecraft player in history. I'm absolutely not biased. Technoblade joined, again the best player ever, the blood God, potatoe king, and absolute legend. He beat minecraft with a steering wheel, farmed the most potatoes, proved to be the best pvp player and is peak comedy. I'll move on now.

Wilbur and Tommy build a really lame base underground in a ravine called pogtopia, easily recognized by the thousands of buttons everywhere. They recruit people into their cause including THE BEST PLAYER EVERRRRR aka technoblade.

Dreams sister, Drista, also makes an appearance during a non-lore stream in which Tommy combines the words dream and sister. She's a beloved national treasure of chaos. Love her or else. She's not officially a part of the server but will occasionally hop on her brothers account and hang out.

Pogtopia begins to plot revenge against the tyranny in l'manburg

They had very few materials to work with, as Wilbur had been killed shortly after fleeing the country, and Tommy had been unprepared for their exile. After being contacted by Technoblade, Wilbur reluctantly allowed him to join their ranks, and the three sheltered in the ravine, naming themselves Pogtopia and beginning plans to reclaim their lost place in Manberg.

Eret and BadBoyHalo did come across the base shortly after its construction, attempting to give gifts of resources, but Wilbur advised Tommy and Techno not to trust them, and the trio ended up turning down their offers of gifts. Fortunately, they did not leak the base's location to anybody.

Wilbur contacted Tubbo, who had been named the Secretary of State of Manburg, and after confirming his discontent among the new administration, accepted him into the ranks of Pogtopia as a spy, filtering information on Schlatt's plans to the rebels while working to sow discord between Schlatt and his Vice President, Quackity. Due to his ultimate goal of gaining Schlatt's trust, Tubbo's visits to the base remained entirely secretive to the majority of the server.

Technoblade was tasked with gaining and sorting supplies for the commune, namely food. He constructed an underground potato farm, which was later automated by Tubbo. He proceeded to meet up with Dream in secret as per his request, upon which Dream gifted the commune a considerable amount of rare resources and promised to support them from the shadows.

Wilbur slowly carved out the place to live in until it was functional, though he refused to install hand-rails for the increasingly dangerous staircase down. Upon hearing of events happening in Manberg, he and Techno traveled out in order to survey the situation and assist their revolutionary comrades.

Wilbur discovered Niki was in danger due to her known hatred of Manberg, and journeyed out to secure her safety. When Tommy and Wilbur arrived, they discovered that Niki's bakery and home had already been raided and stripped of all belongings. Niki was on the run, and Wilbur ensured that she was safe before returning to Pogtopia. Shlatt made fun of the two, called Wilbur lover boy, and there are fans who still ship them to this day although it was never cannon or anything.

Tommy journeyed back out in time to witness Fundy setting up the new altered flag design. He contacted Wilbur asking for permission to burn the flag down, which would effectively cast the first stone in official conflict. Initially, Wilbur refused to give him permission, but Tubbo showed him a document full of Schlatt's plans for Manberg, he allowed the act, and Tommy burned the flag down in the name of Pogtopia and L'Manberg.

Niki, who had been standing her ground and fighting, asked to join Pogtopia due to her no longer having a safe home, but Wilbur refused the offer - saying that they were to busy to accept new members. Niki, upset by this, ran away to Tommy's holiday home, where she lived and burned down the Manberg Flag for the second time like the girl boss she is.

Some days later, Tommy decided to take it upon himself to intimidate their enemies, and constructed the Intimidation Tower right outside their base with help from Technoblade and slave labour from Tubbo and Antfrost. Wilbur did express concern about the lack of subtlety in their actions, but the tower remained, even after it was converted to a pink-and-stone Love Tower by Antfrost later on.

Tubbo constructed a secret tunnel from his bunker in Manberg to Pogtopia's base in order to make travel easier and more discreet. This significantly sped up the journey time, but also caused several close calls with Schlatt and Quackity. They were saved on one occasion, though, when Schlatt said that he simply "couldn't be bothered" and left.

Tommy later connected the tunnel's floor to the Prime Path so that he could continue to farm money during his exile. He spilled the secret to Quackity in hopes of earning his trust and destabilizing the administration, but the plan went south, so he had to resort to temporary blackmail to keep things quiet.

Quackity seemed keen on helping later on, though, insisting that he wanted help build the path to Pogtopia. When asked why he wasn't reporting it to Jschlatt, he just shrugged it off, saying that it was his off-day, as he though it was the weekend when in actuality it was Tuesday. Upon finding this out, he ran off, but was shot in the head by Tommy as a non-canonical death, and it was played off as an entirely forgotten incident, I think the arrow was supposed to be memory loss? We'll see lots of that later.

Caught up in the strain of losing his nation and feeling betrayed by nearly all of his allies, Wilbur descended into mental instability and was reduced to a paranoid wreck, not trusting even his fellow Pogtopians and developing a vicious desire for the destruction of L'Manberg.

The first instance of this was shown after he and Tommy were returning from spying on Schlatt's announcement of the Manberg Festival, when he explained to Tommy that assassinating Schlatt wouldn't accomplish anything, as they would lose either way. He stated that their L'Manberg was irretrievable and far behind them, and that forcefully outing Schlatt, who had technically gotten into power through fair and legal means, would make them the "bad guys", as he put it.

He embraced the idea rather than shying away from it, however, saying that they might as well be bad guys, and brought up the prospect of the destroying a L'Manberg that was no longer theirs. Tommy attempted to dissuade him from pursuing the path of destruction, but to no avail; Wilbur had already committed to it.

He arranged a meeting with Dream in which he was given 51 blocks of TNT. Tommy tried to get him to hand the TNT over, but Dream defended him, prompting him to shout, "yes! Daddy Dream!" ..........Which isn't relevant to anything, but it's too funny not to include.

In any case, Wilbur set up a control room similar to Eret's in a cave behind Manberg, consisting of signs with lyrics from the anthem and a single button that he linked all of the TNT to after rigging it beneath Manberg in an optimal pattern. He planned to detonate it after Tubbo's speech during the festival. Technoblade assisted him readily, along with Tubbo and far less willing Tommy. He REALLY lost it tbh.

But nothing happens until... the festival.
