= CivISS =

CivISS was an early settlement in the (-, +) quadrant. It is marked by a large cobblestone wall surrounding its territory, and is notorious for being an early target of grief as well as being one of the first and most well known abandoned cities.

= History =

CivISS was founded near the beginning of the map on the site of an NPC village. As it turned out, the location of CivISS was right off of where the Lio-Commonwealth Highway would be built very shortly after its formation, putting it in an extremely accessible location very early on. As a result of this, many griefers would see the settlement right off of the highway and grief it- to the point where it became an early griefing target. Attempts were made to save the city and deter griefers, but the founders and citizens eventually gave up on the city after one particularly severe griefing near the end of May.

Attempts have been made to annex/revive the city, most notably by Commonwealth (whose territory begins less than 1k away from the site of CivISS). Commonwealth ended up annexing the territory not long after its abandonment, eventually using some of the CivISS territory to grow wheat, but few people were willing to maintain it, and most found it to be more work than it was worth to restore the land to a useful state. Commonwealth eventually abandoned the project and offered the land to anybody that wants it. However, as of late August, the Commonwealth once again claimed the land, with plans to develop it into a farming borough.
