Cyprus is a metagroup that originates from the modded Flan's Mod server known as Tyrants et Plebeians. It was formed by Davidgaf (aka MaybeNotSheep5) and _Kesp_ in mid July, 2021, at the start of TaP: Jihad. The name “Cyprus” unsurprisingly comes from their choice of nation and has stuck ever since.

The group was, by origin, a non-belligerent group focused on building and assembling tech, having less than a dozen players. Their growth began when another group in the server, CANZUK (also known as Brits) had failed to capture Israel (located in Africa for unknown reasons) and their assembly line and energy sources getting bombed by Hungarians, an ally of Voltz. This caused frustration and resentment in the group, resulting in some of them quitting the server and others joining Cyprus, which was a non-committed ally of CANZUK at the time that would give them vague advice regarding the tech mods in the server.

With an influx of oppressively competitive manpower and an abundance of tech, Cyprus would go on to defeat Israel, repel a large-scale Voltz-Hungarian invasion resulting in more than a dozen aircraft shot down, and nearly destroying the Hungarian main base located in Sardinia.

The members had participated separately in /int/craft iterations as early as i28, but they first formed their own big group in i36, playing as Oda.
