Early Days

In December of 2017, PirateCody began to feel discontent with the other online mock governments of the time. Having similar feelings, one of Cody's good friends, MaTh, approached him and other individuals about starting a new model government solely on Discord.

Pre-Main Server

The AGS Pre-Main Server was a discord server where the "founding fathers" of AGS brainstormed what they would want their new model government to look like. A lot of ideas were discussed, but a few prominent notions emerged from the debates. This new government sim would have the bulk of its activities on Discord, and this new government sim would strive to have friendly banter and serious political discussion coexist in a non-toxic environment. The final guiding philosophy for what would become AGS was a principle of a player-driven sim. This ideal was very important to Cody in particular, as he had become discontent with ModelUSGov due to constant interference from the mods. PirateCody and MaTh would be the only AGS "founding fathers" to continue with the plan and establish the server.
