Laconia

Laconia is a small nation that is currently dead.

They have been known to ally with Lexington and oppose Yoahtl, despite originally being a homestead of Yoahtl.

Origin on Devoted
Laconia can trace their roots to a group on Devoted 2.0, the Revenants. Born out of a shared hatred of the Pirates, it was the fusion of several early-map groups, led by Vapin, TofeeDodger, and FRESH_Candy. They were early allies of Agora, who are known on modern CivClassic as Hjaltland (somewhat), and formed the Conglomerate which fought the Pirates and Ascalon (led by Vicccyy and SirCrowley respectively).

Album of the early history of Laconia

After ashnwill's defection from Ascalon, he designed a (terrible) ring vault for the Revenants, with tankbuster44 of Agora building the skybunker. After the rest of the Revenants went inactive, ashnwill inherited their wealth and infrastructure, using them to become a major shit stirrer, until he shit stirred too hard and his vault was broken.

The Revenants reformed in the summer of that year as Laconia, still led by ashnwill, but this time with fun new pals like Brocktree and Parkertehpwner. Due to the retardation of their leader, along with BuckyHD feeling that he had stolen the nation, he was coup'd, and out of spite he gave the Laconia vault to the Pirates.

The Laconian 17-layer 3-ring vault at northern world border was torn down by HiImPosey and Garking, along with the old skybunker, and used to expand the Pirate vault to 23 layers.

CivClassic
The people who made up the Laconia of old Devoted joined with Yoahtl. They built a fortress on the mesa island north of the old Yoahtlan capitol, Axochitlan, and christened it Mt. Doom.

At some point they declared independence from Yoahtl and become independent easily and peacefully. [somebody with better knowledge of this time period expand this]

They became allies with their enemies of old, Lexington; fresh server, fresh connections.

They got bored and began raiding on alts, messing with the Yoahtlans, culminating in a Yoahtlan attack on Mt. Doom, which was quickly and harshly responded to by Laconia.

Yoahtl was forced out of their homeland, Laconia having claimed the lion's share, and moved across the map.

FRESH_Candy and TofeeDodger decided to invite ashnwill to the reborn Laconia around this time, playing on the secret alt TotallyNotHigh so as not to draw suspicion from their Lexingtonian allies who had a (justifiably) very bad view of the lad. He dug a tunnel to the southeast diagonal world border, and built a small 10-layer bastion vault for Laconia, along with a handful of bunkers and a skybunker in the sea.

Ashnwill became disenchanted with the Laconia dudes, having recently become less of a shithead himself and able to recognize when people were shitheads, and at the behest of his BFF TwistTheCat left and founded a city near new Yoahtl, Kuo. Over the course of two months, he became willing to leak information to Yoahtl that he had gained during his time in Laconia, leading to a second Yoahtl-Laconia war, a big ol' falling out between ashnwill and Laconia, and without their autism grinder, Laconia fell into inactivity.

[sorry if this is too ashnwill-centric, I am writing it from the perspective of me, ashnwill]
