The Nord VPN Antarctica Art was a full country artwork made by Player Epico on July 31st 2020.
On September 5th 2020 the art was purged marking the first time a full country art of Antarctica was removed and the continent conquered by the community. One could argue that the first occasion of such an event was in March 2020 when the FLUX art was removed from Antarctica, but at the time that was regarded as faction art or part of the flag.
Background
The artwork was made by Player Epico on July 31st 2020 after Antarctica belonged to PATK, NORD and Romania.
The piece changed several times over the next months with people adding their flags and ships to it. The initial artwork said “Nord VPN” before the “Nord” was removed to make room for ships.
At the time the artwork existed the MVP Art rules still treated full-country art as regular art, unlike today where such pieces are not protected at all, which made it possible for it to survive for a long time as giant art.
Purge
On September 5th 2020 at around 4PM UTC people started to erase the art and to conquer the purged territory. During the purge, Player ToastbrotJ framed a section of the piece to keep it as a memorial. After the event Antarctica was divided between seven (7) countries/players: Alaska, Rasib, England, BeanboyBean, Spaniardball, ANCAP and Rome(?). A few hours after the purge, FLUX completely took over Antarctica and later made an intricate, colorful design as typical for the faction.
