Not Dublin is a town located due south of Spawn. It can be accessed via the Blue Highway. The town was established by TeamwinFTW, Mattimeith, and Angry_Chef near the location of TeamwinFTW's original base. The town began as a settlement on November 12, 2019 before officially becoming a town on December 9, 2019. There are currently eleven residents. Residency is established by having a claim on a valid structure and grants access to the storage building.

History
Not Dublin was founded on November 12, 2019 when TeamwinFTW and Angry_Chef held a coup against the oppressive reign of MrSergeant. MrSergeant had intentions to write a server-wide constitution and build a courthouse to settle disputes in, to which the the former two parties as well as Mattimeith agreed to aid in. Within impressive time however, disputes ironically broke out among the four members regarding what exactly to include in the constitution. MrSergeant then went AFK and was soon followed by Mattimeith. Upon MrSergeant's return, he requested to examine what had been written thus far in his proposed constitution. He then began editing the constitution in a very non-democratic manner, entirely to the dismay of TeamwinFTW and Angry_Chef who had continued working on the document in his absence. After some haggling, the constitution was eventually handed back over to TeamwinFTW and Angry_Chef, who then decided to steal the constitution and abandon MrSergeant. Mattimeith returned just in time as they left and made the decision to join the pair. The three then found refuge in the shadow of TeamwinFTW's original mountain home and decided to construct a courthouse of their own.
Within time, the courthouse was finished. Spires (modeled after Mattimeith's original design in Aesha), a graveyard, and a warehouse soon followed. As Not Dublin grew, it was quickly realized that Not Dublin was destined to become a settlement. And so it did—soon enough it was added the to Dynmap as a settlement by Tklots. The construction of the town hall then followed, and the town grew from there, growing to include a storage building, automatic smeltery, and train station.
Magmaticsleet13 was the first non-founding resident who joined the town in early December 2019. Magmaticsleet13 nearly instantly was promoted to ambassador of the town and began planting embassies in all other towns around the map. Soon thereafter under the persuasion of Magmaticsleet13, N1ght_Shade joined the town as well, allowing the then-settlement to be promoted to town status. On December 9, 2019, the settlement of Not Dublin was officially declared a town and the Dynmap was updated by Katuen.
On December 10, 2019, Not Dublin was invaded by SergeyMeyer's Snow Empire. He randomly appeared in the home of bookworm918 (who was a new citizen at the time) and began mass spawning snow golems—presumably with snow from the 2019 Winter Event. He then challenged any citizen of Not Dublin to fist-only combat; if he won, he claimed the right to assume sovereignty over Not Dublin and would annex it into the Snow Empire. In the end it was bookworm918 who was chosen as tribute. The result of the battle was a decisive victory for SergeyMeyer, who won by three health points. Shortly thereafter, SergeyMeyer announced his decent upon Not Dublin and requested a place to erect a snow fortress. Mattimeith provided him a spot atop the mountain adjacent to the residential district and SergeyMeyer built his fortress. In the end, Not Dublin survived the attempt at annexation and maintained sovereignty, but the fortress still stands today. The fortress has since been added to by Mattimeith in effort to improve upon the original design.
On December 23, 2019, MrPippen began construction on a replica of the Crystal Tower from Final Fantasy. It's located just southeast of the Villager Trading Hall. It's satirically been dubbed the "M E G A Spire." Soon after he finished the build, MrPippen established a small settlement south-southeast of Not Dublin, but never became an official resident of the town.
On January 7, 2020, Banoffee_Pi joined the server and built a home in the prairie east of Not Dublin. He was contacted and within a day became a de facto resident of Not Dublin, which led to drastic expansion of the Not Dublin road system and territory. He was given rights to the storage building and on the night of January 9, 2020 he began construction of the Not Dublin Cathedral. The Not Dublin Cathedral was completed on January 12, 2020. On the same day he began a replica of the Trinity College Library.

Points of Interest
Not Dublin Cathedral
The Not Dublin Cathedral was built entirely by Banoffee_Pi after he became a de facto resident of Not Dublin. Its construction began in the early hours of the morning on January 10, 2020 and was finished the evening of January 12, 2020. The cathedral has caused an increase in tourism to the town since its completion and stands as a must-see landmark.
The design elements of the build incorporate those of a Catholic church, a Greek monastery, and Not Dublin's theme of spruce wood. These elements come together to from a clever and well designed building. The east wing consists of an extremely tall spire stretching from ground level to well above cloud level. The center is a grass courtyard surrounded by a covered walkway. The west wing consists of a tall nave which includes pews, an altar, and pulpit. The nave also features a large stained glass window of the Not Dublin banner.
Town Projects
Spleef Arena
The spleef arena will be situated on the east side of the Nodder River, which divides the east side of the town. It will be modeled after Dublin's Aviva Stadium. The arena will contain one layer of easily replaceable snow blocks surrounded by ample stadium-style seating for spectators.
Highway System
Connections of four block wide "highways" act as major arteries of Not Dublin. They connect vital parts of the town via a paved and direct pathway, aiming to avoid confusion with smaller grass pass roads and pathways. They are constructed with the intent to serve as viable routes for transport via horse.
