The Port of Eras is a Taylor Swift-themed country in Southern Ŋafrica ruled by Fin which gained independence from Coldba (Cuba) on 3 August 2024. It was officially admitted to the UŊ on August 9th, 2024.
Geography
The Port of Eras is extremely diverse in biomes. Notable ones include swamps, dark forests, savannah, beaches, and a birch forest.
The Port is also subdivided into several Eras, each representing a Taylor Swift album.
Eras
There are 13 Eras in the Port of Eras. Each has a main build and a local rail station. You can view the Rails of Eras map here.
Taylor Swift (Debut) Era
The Debut Era is the most southwesterly Era, encompassing a coastal savannah biome that is separated from the rest of the Port by tall cliffs to the north. The main build is Debut Town. The Debut Era borders the folklore Era and the reputation Era, both to the north. This Era's representative color is teal.
Fearless Era
The Fearless Era is located in the northern region of the Port of Eras. It is made up primarily of a beach biome, with some plains in the south. It borders the evermore Era to the southwest, and the Midnights Era to the north and along the coast. The main build is Fearless Academy, which houses the local rail station. The Fearless Era takes gold as its official color.
Speak Now Era
The Speak Now Era comprises the aquatic parts of the swamp that dominates the west of the Port of Eras. To the north, it borders the THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT Era, and to the southeast, the folklore Era. The main build is the Speak Now Castle, which is entirely constructed of purpur. The corresponding color for the Speak Now Era is a warm purple. This Era played host to a self-serve fireworks show during New Year's 2024.
Red Era
This Era is composed of a swamp, and is the home to the Port of Eras's diplomatic architecture. It is in between the Lover Era to the west, and the 1989 Era to the east. The main build is the train station. As one might expect, the Red Era's color is red, but more specifically a rich, slightly dark, shade of it.
1989 Era
The 1989 Era is the easternmost Era in the southern landmass of the Port. It is home to a beach and plains, as well as a large island in its northern region. It borders the Red Era to the west, and the Beautifiul Eyes-lands of the Beautiful Eyes Era by sea. This is also where one of the 2 Cenrail stations in the Port of Eras, 1989 Station is located. The station is only connected to the Western Line, and connects to the TTPD Station to the west, and to Ʒimh Gwynh to the west. The 1989 Era's representative color is a light sky blue.
reputation Era
The reputation Era is in the central area of the Port. It covers a rugged mountain area with large caves. It borders the Lover Era to the east, the folklore and Holiday Collection Eras to the west, and the Debut Era to the southwest. The color for this Era is black. The main build is a floating rock covered in blackstone. The reputation Rock contains the Port's connection to Leshrail, with the portal to Leshrail Roof station N-PER. The Rock contains a network of catacombs, connecting mostly unused rooms. Within the Rock is also the Bank of Eras, the home of the Lyric.
Lover Era
The smallest non-EP Era by land area, the Lover Era is a small birch forest bridging the reputation Era to the west and the Red Era to the east. In this Era, the main build is a recreation of the Lover House from the music video for "Lover." The train station, meanwhile, also contains a bypass line to evermore • willow Station. Pale pink represents the Lover Era.
folklore Era
The folklore Era is in the southwest of the Port, encompassing a former dark oak forest and a mountainous portion of a swamp. It borders the most other Eras, having borders with 5 others. To the west are the Holiday Collection and reputation Eras, while the Debut Era lies to the south. In the northwest is the Speak Now Era, and in the very north is the border with the THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT Era. The main build is the folklore Cabin, alongside Holiday House. Each of those builds has a local rail station. The representative color is a light grey with slight green undertones.
This era's builds will focus on the songs on the album. There are currently plans to pale moss and hand build pale oak trees to recreate the album cover. A town will be built for the "teenage love triangle songs of cardigan, betty, and august.
This Era is not well-developed, as its large size and difficult terrain has made it a lower priority for development.
evermore Era
The evermore Era is the Era that sprawls along the center-north area of the Port. It is mainly a former dark oak forest, but the main build, a large willow tree, sits on a near-floating island that sits in the east of the Era. The main build has a restaurant and train station below it. There is also another station in the former forest. The evermore Era borders the Fearless Era to the east, and the THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT Era to the west. The evermore Era uses a warm brown as its color.
This Era houses the Post Office of Eras. It will also play host to several lyrically-based builds to recreate narratives from the album.
The large willow tree has not yet started construction, as it is a megaproject, and thus requires an enormous amount of resources. It will be at least 50 blocks tall when completed.
Midnights Era
This Era is primarily maritime, with some limited coastal areas. The land area is beaches with some rocky outcroppings. On the western coast, a rocky peninsula extends into the Midnight Sea that makes up the Era; several islands also sit just off the end of it. Towards the end of the peninsula sits the Midnights Lighthouse, the main build. Towards the north, the second local rail station is a bus stop for the Bejeweled Ballroom. The Midnights Era only borders the Fearless Era to the southwest. Its representative color is, fittingly, midnight blue.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT Era
This Era, often abbreviated to "TTPD," comprises both the original and Anthology editions of this album. It sits in the northwest of the Port of Eras. It's home to the second Cenrail station, Anthology Station, also called TTPD Station, which runs on the Western Line between 1989 Station and the Port of Eras's closest neighbor, The Vazr. It is also the western terminus of the Coastal Line, which connects the Port of Eras to Spansos Gaming and Oberia. The station represents the Anthology double album part. The keystone build housing the local rail station is the Offices of The Tortured Poets Department, representing the main album. The Offices also house the "Guilty As Sin?" courtroom above them, and the "Fresh Out The Slammer" jail below. The TTPD Era borders the Speak Now and reputation Eras to the south, and the evermore Era to the northeast. The main album's color is white, while the Anthology edition has dark grey as its signature.
Holiday Collection Era
The Holiday Collection Era, an abbreviation of "The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection," is a small EP Era that covers a small snowy taiga. It borders the folklore Era to the west and the reputation Era to the east. The main build is the Christmas Tree Farm. This Era's color is a classic Christmas green.
Beautiful Eyes Era
This EP Era is the smallest by land area, consisting of two islands, known as the Beautiful Eyes-lands, sitting west of the southwest coast of the 1989 Era. The larger island represents the title track, "Beautiful Eyes," while the smaller one is the b-side "I Heart?." They are not connected to the main rail loop, but to a bypass between the Red and Debut Eras. The two islands are connected to each other by their main build, the You & I Bridge. The representative color for this Era is a yellowish orange.
Government
The Port of Eras is ruled by Chairman Fin, who also represents the country interŋationally. His full title is "Dreamer of Impossible Dreams, Chairman Fin the Star-scarred of the Port of Eras, Fairytale Prince, Ruler of a Faith-forgotten land, Mastermind of Fate, Debutant, King of Hearts, Suburban Legend, Heartbreak Prince, and Dragonslayer." The Port of Eras is a representative democracy in theory.

Foreign Relations
Being a daughter of Coldba, the Port of Eras maintains close relations with its mother nation. The Port of Eras is also a member of the AAA, and as such has close ties with the other members, including Coldba, Oberia, and the Realm of Madness. Other than these nations, the Port is cordial but not necessarily aligned with the majority of the other nations.
The Port of Eras is a member of the United Ŋations. However, they do not plan to send a representative in person to any future meetings due to issues with the chaotic meetings. They, however, remain an active member and will be voting in absentia.
After the 19th meeting of the United Ŋations, the Port of Eras temporarily ceased relations with Þunan Qumreá. The exact reasons are unknown, but it is theorized that there was disgruntlement with the Thunannese delegation gutting the Port's resolution on abandoned items. Relations were restored the following day.
