City of Athens
The city-state of Athens is a Greek city built on a mountainous bluff overlooking a desert deep in the minus minus.

Government
Athens is ruled by Oss_Spy. Currently, there is no need for additional levels of government.

Government Agencies:


 * C.D.F. - (Civilian Defense Force) - This consists of a militia whose duty is to protect the city from enemies or act as police as needed. The head of this agency shall be commissioned by parliament. The authority of the general shall be to call the militia to arms and to conduct any battle. Only Parliament can order an arrest but it is carried out by the CDF. Likewise only Parliament can declare war or peace, but it will leave the conduction of the war to the general. The CDF may not violate Citizen’s rights except in special circumstances i.e. criminal breach of law.


 * Immigration - This is the organization whose duty it is to actively seek out new citizens to join Athens through public awareness efforts, the sharing of advertisement and other propaganda materials

Geography
The terrain of and around Athens is very rugged, with very few major bodies of water and little to no minor bodies of water that are naturally made. However, Athens is surrounded by a river and has an ocean to its east, which is the primary method of transportation to Terminus and SPQR.

Economy
The economy of Athens is largely self-sufficient, given the small population and seclusion. Stone that is produced by a 50x50 quarry is the primary good produced, and this quarry begins at a height of 147 and has been dug down to about 132. Oss_Spy is the manager of the quarry and has received significant support from the council in digging it out, along with great help from at least three other town members. The quarry also serves as a pumpkin/melon farm, given that it is easy to grow crops whilst digging below the farm level. There is a larger farm nearby that also produces large quantities of crops. Finally, as a primary source of income, there are tunnels that lead to mostly-excavated diamond and iron veins and abandoned mine shafts.

Notable Events In Athenian History
-Sir_Grettir stepped down from office, leaving Oss_Spy and JohnBunyanT in charge.

-Oss_Spy took command due to the lack of activity from JohnBunyanT

-Athens received a makeover. Renovations include new factories, better roads, and a port.

-Novaceasar attempted to coerce Athens into rebelling against SPQR in December 2014 and in January 2015. However, after her relations with neighboring Volterra worsened, she opted instead to join the SPQR due to a severe lack of allies in the region. Her history page says otherwise and she has a bad habit of lying and manipulating people into following her; she also has a track record of breaking treaties and leaking private conversations.

-All property owned by inactive players was seized by the state in order to make room for new players.
