History
The Republic stayed out of drama with other groups ever since its founding, which has been the source of the meme "more neutral that switzerland." It's largest contributionn to the community was finding and getting patched a TP exploit that was found to be able to lag the server 24/7, making it crash each time the glitched account joined back.

Despite this, the group has had quite an influence on the community thanks to their members and their "Republic Radio" YouTube channel, which houses the RRN (Republic Radio News) project

The group is a direct democracy, their only rank is "Citizen" and the rest are just titles. People vote in the "congress" chat for whatever change or proposal they have, and they also vote when someone wants to join the group. If that person wins the voting, he becomes a citizen like the rest and gets access to all of the Republic bases. This is meant for the group to be a servant to it's members and not the other way around. Currently The Republic is the oldest democracy on the server.

Battles
In 2020, a random player was exploring with elytra when he found the ruins of Versalles and the connected city of Ginebra. He quickly tried to grief the place but was mostly unable to since there wasn't any TNT in the area, so he made a reddit post inviting anyone who waned to grief the place. After seeing this, the players commonly known as Crystal and Banzy started to save all the artifacts at the museum and defended the city for almost a week killing all players who try to grief it.
