{{CivU}}'''Acadia,''' officially the '''Autonomous Republic of Acadia,''' is a nation in CivClassics. It is a centralized federal parliamentary constitutional republic situated onwithin the Northeast (+,-).
 
It was founded prior to the launch of [[CivUniverse]], roughly in Early October, /Late September 2020. EarlyIn CivU Acadia was characterized by a strong independent attitude, a search for partners to settle alongside, and friendly diplomacy with pre-launch juggernauts such as [[Byzantium]], a nation which never saw launch day. Acadia was officially a dominion of [[Javaya]], which affords Acadia significant rights over its internal sovereignty, and limited rights towards foreign affairs, until April 3rd, 2021. Post-launch, Acadia has becomebecame known as a newfriend nation, and as such iswas one of the largest nations on the server. It prides itself on its democracy, freedom, and emphasis on building.

=== CivUniverse ===
 
Acadia was one of the first nations founded on CivUniverse. Undeterred by the risk of shitters and toxicity, Cortwade, the first Prime Minister of Acadia, sought to make a new group on the newly-born server. Initially, things went well. Acadia was a small, isolated nation, and was a founding member of a large regional UN-like organization. Eventually, Acadia ballooned to be one of the largest nations on the server. However, due to a rise in toxicity in groups such as New Vegas and Cincinnati, and the outbreak of the Coalition War, Acadia's population quickly dwindled. Numbering around 30-strong at its peak, Acadia only had roughly 10-15 active citizens when the decision to move was made.
==== Pre-Launch ====
Acadia was founded roughly around the time of the merger of [[CivSeasons]] with other ongoing civ-server projects into CivUniverse in late September-Early October 2020. Founded on the principles of democracy, freedom, political pluralism, and building, Acadia immediately strove to being recruiting. In an aggressive campaign, it sought to merge with other proto-nations at the time, including [[Runeterra]] (now the CivU Cartel) and [[Lustria]], in an effort to become a viable nationstate. These groups were offered statehood and positions in the Acadian senate. However, none of these efforts came to fruition. With few day-1 citizens, the Prime Minister at the time, [[Cortwade]], entered into an agreement with the Empire of Javaya to become a Dominion of Javaya. In return for granting military access and special privileges, Javaya would grant protection to Acadia and not interfere with Acadia's internal politics.
 
==== 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 (CivU)|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.
 
=== CivClassics ===
 
==== Move to CivClassics ====
[[Cortwade]] decided to establish claims on March 10th, 2021<ref>Claims Of The Republic of Acadia(r/civclassics)https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/m2fuow/claims_of_the_republic_of_acadia/</ref> for the Republic of Acadia. However, the vote to transfer the country from [[CivUniverse]] to [[CivClassic]] waswasn't held until April 3rd to 4th, 2021, and passed. The Great Migration of Acadia took place on April 24th, 2021, and consisted of VCs and general merriment. Appointed to assist with the movement for the Minister of Migrationmigration was [[Juniortide]].
 
==== Early Classics History ====
With the founding of New Turing, the capital was formed. Unlike on CivUniverse, Acadia decided to have internal states, and moved away from one settlement states. The State of Babbage was formed shortly after the Capital Territory, with the city of Lovelace, founded by [[Owain X]]. The first expansion of Acadia took place when [[Pandastical]] claimed part of the Lewis Archipelago for his personal use, and chose to merge it into Acadia. Further settlements were made over time, including Kanava- a notable port city on the east coast of Acadia.
 
==== Development Period ====
Slowly, Acadia began developing itself. This was, and continues to be a struggle due to low activity. However, New Turing, Acadia's Capital, now boasts a public works which is slowly filling with basic factories. A couple of citizens have taken the initiative upon themselves, and private XP production has begun on a small scale. The various settlements are slowly taking form, with New Turing in particular building its first permanent homes and shops.
