{{CivU}}'''Acadia,''' officially the '''Federal Republic of Acadia,''' or '''Dorei'Nothlir o Akkadye''' is a nation in CivClassics. It is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic situated within the Northeast (+,-).
It was founded prior to the launch of [[CivUniverse]], roughly in Early October/Late September 2020. In CivU, Acadia became known as a newfriend nation, and as such was one of the largest nations on the server. It prides itself on its democracy, freedom, and emphasis on building. Acadia is

While the now removed-article that originally held Acadia's page has been now deleted, specific historical events should be noted and remaining on the Acadian page:
===== Launch =====▼
▲=== Launch ===
Acadia settled quickly after launch, quickly finding the continent of Hyperborea and settling the capital city of Turing. On Day 1, a Javayan, JustSharky, and one of their colleagues, joined Cortwade and began building Turing. Before the day was out, Turing featured the start of its potato farm, a public works and factory building (now the East Turing Storage), and a mine. However, progress after this point would become slow and laborious. Over the next month, Turing gained several small houses, and the town of Serena was founded as an outpost. Work began on Acadia Grand Central Station, but work quickly came to a crawl as a lack of activity brought most of Acadian life to a standstill. However, with a new recruitment initiative, several new members of Acadia joined over a week-long period, bringing new energy and life into Acadia. The potato farm was quickly expanded as it became properly managed, the central station was completed, and new buildings began popping up both in Turing and Serena.
===== First Newfriend Influx =====
With a new CivUniverse recruitment initiative, many newfriends opted to join Acadia due to its status as a calm, chill, and friendly nation. Notable members such as Stevee and Schmilly joined at this point. Turing and Serena both boomed, to a point where both towns were almost unrecognizable after just a week of development. Quickly, structures such as the Aston Tower and Supreme Tribunal were built, and Serena developed into a proper town in its own right. Acadia became an active and thriving nation as individuals joined the nation. Shortly after the influx, the first elections were held on schedule with Cortwade winning a second term. The introduction of partisan politics also began during this point. The development of an intra-Acadian rail was a paramount issue during the election, with many Solidarity candidates campaigning for an overground rail, and claims that the Progressive-Snow candidates were dragging their feet on the issue. Progressive-Snow candidates in turn were campaigning for the construction of an underground rail. In fact, as the election was ongoing, Interim Minister of Homeland Affairs Bloof completed the Serena-Turing rail.
===== Second Newfriend Influx and Activity Slump =====
As thing settled into normalcy, many newfriends recruited during the First Newfriend Influx became inactive or otherwise busy with real-life affairs. Several members moved to other nations. With another CivUniverse recruitment initiative, Acadia experienced a small influx in newfriends, but it was barely comparable to the First Influx and did little to dent the national slump in activity. Despite this, progress was still made. Factories were moved away from the exposed public works and into a more secure location, the acquisition of Laconia was approved, and the Lionsgate Stadium began construction. Eventually, the slump reached a stable point. Acadia became a moderately active nation, but still less active than the high point of the First Newfriend Influx.
===== Participation in the First Coalition War =====
As a Dominion of Javaya, Acadia was an active participant in the First Coalition War against the City of Gotham/New Vegas. While few Acadians were frontline fighters, Acadia actively supported the production of wartime materials through a War Bond exchange system. However, industrial output was sluggish as a result of the decline in activity, and, despite their bravery, Acadia could not properly supply its fighters, leading to heavy casualties on the battlefield. With the Status Quo peace of the First Coalition War on 10, March 2021, Acadia has established Remembrance Day as a national holiday.

* [[Egi]] <br />While the slow process of building was made, an incident occurred that led to the arrest and pearling of one of Acadia's original citizens, Layman, who, while giving supplies to the group, murdered Owain. After many issues with the Acadian government in the past (especially political issues and debt difficulties in Universe), Layman finally was exiled from the state after this final treasonous act, and has left Civ for the time being.

While Acadia continued it's slow development, many issues became apparent
After the occupation forces had arrived and beaten back Mat, the Lewis Isles were officially incorporated into the Republic of Acadia, and Mat was sentenced to a light pearling before being exiled from the territories, eventually creating Aussieland, another OMN (One Man Nation), before then joining the Kingdom of Mythril as a Duke. ▼

But external difficulties would not be the only troubles Acadia faced, with many internal issues becoming precedence. One example of this was the attempt of impeachment of Prime Minister Cortwade over voting rights of the Prime Minister, which resulted in a near impeachment before a bill was finally passed to allow for the PM to vote, but another one of the major problems was pre-exisiting citizenship in other countries, like Icenia, or the transfer of dual-citizenships of other states that, like Acadia, were transferring over to Classics, like the Kingdom of Fish. While many instances made it so it was benifical for these dual citizenships to exist (especially in the case of [[Juniortide]], an Icenian and Acadian citizen, there would come the problem of one Druid and JayTeeR, two Fish/Acadian citizens that would quickly become two of the most infamous characters in Acadian history. ▼

While the pair went off in their continous raids, Acadia was now left in a much weaker state, and was then susceptible to further raiding, egged on by a newly joined RainieofPain, who was collecting members for his own state, the No-State Commune, and was primarily targetting Acadia due to past grudges with Cortwade and JuniorTide. This eventually culminated in a pre-emptive strike against the No-State Commune (but effectively Rainie's), bunker by Acadian forces and disabling it to prevent further use. ▼

Eventually the raids subsided, but as Raine was logboxed by opponents like Okx and TTastic, he decided to go down with one final punch and doxxed a member of Acadia, which resulted in a ban from Classics. While the ban is supposed to be temporary, Raine does not seem to intend on coming back considering his predicament with the logbox and the fact that everyone, including members of Raine's former state, despise him. ▼

This, however, lead to one of the largest political scandals in Acadian history when it was revealed the Zombie_Striker and FE_Flags, founders of the Worker's of Acadia Party (WAP), had made a deal with Rainie by giving Rainie diamonds in return for newfriends for the party. Flags had previously left Acadia and had made the Eon Empire (and with him, taking Tsar Ivan, a polar bear senator), but Striker had elected on staying, but upon the revelation that Rainie had doxxed Owain, had left Acadia and Civ in general, but not before it was discovered that numerous factories, including a diamond tool factory, had been broken, but none of the obsidian or iron doors protecting it had been broken, so along with snitches and this information, Striker was laid blame for this incident. ▼

These efforts, while respectable, were not dealing with the primary issue with Acadia's activity issues, one that was made more severe by the recent raiding. With a new election looming, Bloof finally met competition from the Visionary Party of Acadia when Kannon, an on-and-off active figure within Acadia, decided on running for Prime Minister under the platform of entertainment to help boost Acadian activity, while Bloof maintained their policies of diplomatic ventures to aid Acadia. While Kannon only gained barely half of Bloof's votes, this election cycle did see a large boost of activity, in no small part thanks to the efforts of many citizens mentioned before, as well victorious efforts in certain diplomatic efforts.

==== Current Parties: ====
'''Ashahara People's Party/Ashahara i'Dorei Farroth (APP)'''▼
▲===== '''Ashahara People's Party/''Ashahara i'Dorei Farroth'' (APP)''' =====
The APP is a center-left party that prioritizes individual rights and freedoms. It aims to allow prosperity and peace in accordance to Ashaharist values. However, it is a secular party and also advocates for the freedom of religion for all Acadians. It wishes to institute strong individual protections in order to ensure the freedoms and rights of Acadians are protected from those that would wish to take them away. While it supports capitalism, it wishes to regulate it in order to prevent the exploitation of workers and natural resources. To date, all Prime Ministers of Acadia have been part of the APP or its predecessor, the Progressive-Snow party.

Formed on August 16, 2021 after the VPA merged into the NDP to create a stronger opposition party to try and gain power in the government.▼
===== '''Liberty of Acadia Party/''u'Nosson o Akaddye Farroth'' (LAP)''' =====▼
The WAP is one of the newest parties in Acadia. Founded originally as a joke, the party quickly morphed into a serious opposition bloc. Though its values aren't radical, it is certainly the farthest party from the center in Acadia. It values collectivism and freedom, and wishes to prevent the ruling class from oppressing the common person. It seeks to reform the nation to allow for collectivist practices, and has signaled that it would attempt to abolish private property, something that would require a constitutional amendment. In the July elections, it secured 3 out of 6 seats, nearly reaching a majority.▼
The LAP is a
===== '''New Ashahari Party/''Gwain Ashahari Farroth'' (NAP)''' =====
Following several controversies involving the WAP throughout July and August 2021, most of the members either stepped down, exiled themselves, or were declared permanently Personae Non-Gratae. Leaving only Swabbie as the last member of the party as of August 13th, 2021.▼
The NAP was borne from a schism in the APP after the Adina Affair made some APP members want to focus more on Acadia and national unity. The NAP is a left-wing party that believes strongly in a system of collective storage, citizens' rights, and providing for the basic necessities of all. It carries a strong belief in national unity, though it celebrates diversity of thought and opinion. The NAP has some nationalist rhetoric attached to it, however it believes strongly in working with current Acadian alliance partners and seeking out new ones. The NAP believes the government is a tool to be used for the betterment of the people, and as such believes a strong centralized government is key to national success.
==== Disbanded/Defunct Parties: ====▼
===== '''Worker's of Acadia Party/''i'Cuin'Dorei o Akkadye Farroth'' (WAP)''' =====

▲'''Liberty of Acadia Party (LAP)'''
▲The LAP is a newly founded party with the goals of increasing the citizen's liberties, getting rid of the oppressive centralized state, and dismantling the current registration system for political parties. It is based upon some Georgist principles, such as deregulation of the economy to provide free markets and trade, and allowing anybody to productively use land for free. It was created after two Acadians shared dismay at the party system, and wanted to bring change. Two of the three founding members were founders of the Libertarian party from CivUniverse, and these two parties have some similar views.
▲==== Disbanded/Defunct Parties: ====
'''Visionary Party of Acadia/Tira Farroth o Akkadye (VPA)'''▼
▲===== '''Visionary Party of Acadia/''Tira Farroth o Akkadye'' (VPA)''' =====
The VPA had ideals based on "transhumanist" and "futurist" teachings, the VPA was the closest Acadia had to a technocratic party. It seeks to further Acadian industrial power, boosting the economy. It seeks to trade with foreign nations, and allow Acadians to augment themselves with the best equipment avaliable. While having failed to gain senate seats in the past, it is now a much more notable party, thanks to select member's efforts to revitalize the party, and in the last election nearly gained many seats in the federal council, and has gained seats in the senate as the second largest party now in control. Merged into NDP, forming the NVDP.
===== '''National Defense Party/''i'Nothlir Nidh Farroth'' (NDP)''' =====
The [[National Defense Party]] was one of the oldest parties. The only true right-wing party, the NDP had been a staunch supporter of expanding Acadia's military power and becoming more well-known on the international stage. It has signaled support for joining the large alliance blocs prior, but has yet to be elected to any federal positions. The NDP believes that capitalism is a waste, and that only state corporations should be chartered to manufacture goods. It has been known to issue staunch militarist rhetoric, and was one of the fiercest supporters of the intervention in the Lewis Islands. Had VPA merge into, forming the NVDP.
===== '''Acadian Trade and Prosperity Party (ATPP)''' =====
The second party to be formed on CivClassics, the ATPP was a short-lived center-right party. It believed in minimal governmental interference in day-to-day life, and staunchly supported businesses in Acadia. However, it faded before it could establish many policy goals, due to a political suicide maneuver when an ATPP member started a vote to strip Babbage of statehood, causing the Senator of that state to defect to the ATPP. At the time of its dissolution, the ATPP was the only opposition party to have held a senate seat.
===== '''Progressive-Snow Party (P-S)''' =====
The Progressive-Snow Party was the direct predecessor of the APP. Formed Pre-migration on CivUniverse, It held mostly the exact same policy stances as the APP, and contained most of the same members. It was dissolved during the Great Migration.
===== '''Solidarity Party (S)''' =====
The Solidarity Party was a leftist party in CivUniverse. It held many of the same views as the WAP does today, though it was not so anticapitalist. It was dissolved due to a lack of members and interest.
===== '''Libertarian Party (L)''' =====
The Libertarian Party, or GRILL, was a center-right party on CivUniverse. It held many of the same policy views as the ATPP did, however it never reached federal power. It was dissolved during the Great Migration.
