== History ==
[[File:Cortwade Port.png|left|
Acadia was founded prior to and for [[CivUniverse]] by [[Cortwade]], who created the nation largely from [[Norlund|Norlundish]] and [[Adina|Adinan]] culture. Acadia was established to be a safe haven from toxicity and shittery, and a welcoming home for newfriends and casual players. To ensure the nation's security, Acadia became a vassal state of [[Javaya]], which brought protection and guidance in return for potatoes and taxes. As Javaya´s vassal Acadia became involved in the [[Great War (CivUniverse 1.0)|New Vegas War]] against [[New Vegas]] and its allies, increasing production for Javaya, delivering a few fighters, and enduring raids from New Vegas ally [[Savaguard]].

On CivClassic, Acadia saw a lot more political parties. The '''Ashahari People's Party (APP)''' (''Ashahara i'Dorei Farroth''), in politics similar to the Progressive-Snow party, was the result of the merge between the Progressive-Snow party and the influx of Javayans, who introduced the emphasis on Ashaharist communal values. The APP featured many prominent Acadians and was the dominant party for much of Acadia's history, until with the decline in activity from especially the Javayans its hold began to wane. During the decline of the APP a schism emerged after a disagreement on Acadia's role within a wider international movement of Adinan exiles seeking to return to their homeland, with the '''New Ashahari Party (NAP)''' (''Gwain Ashahari Farroth)'' preferring to emphasize national unity within Acadia. Vying for power with the APP in the earlier part of Acadian politics was the left wing '''Workers of Acadia Party (WAP)''' (''i'Cuin'Dorei o Akkadye Farroth''), flirting with abolishing private property and radical system reform to centralize and nationalize Acadian political and economic life. The WAP eventually came crashing down as the alt-raiding WAP-members [[The druid|Druid]] and [[JayTeeR]] brought embarrassment to the party and the party even ended up involved in a treason scandal after the First TNSC Crisis. The only party to eventually manage to rival and overtake the APP in power was the '''National Visionary Defense Party''' '''(NVDP)''' (''i'Nothlir Tira a' Nidh Farroth'', the result of the merge of the previously politically less relevant '''Visionary Party of Acadia (VPA)''' (''Tira Farroth o Akkadye''), and the '''National Defense Party (NDP)''' (''i'Nothlir Nidh Farroth''). The NVDP favored an economy centered on state-capitalism, and generally sought to centralize Acadian politics and to increase Acadia's role in the wider region. In a counter reaction against the increased support for a centralized government and economy, the '''Liberty of Acadia Party (LAP)''' (''u'Nosson o Akaddye Farroth''), the direct successor of the short-lived '''Acadian Trade and Prosperity Party (ATPP)''' (''u'Nosson o Akaddye Farroth)'' and the earlier Libertarian Party sought to fight for decentralization and radical political transparency and direct democracy, fight against national projects and military infrastructure, and to ban political parties. Part of the same counter reaction were the less radical '''Democratic Front for the Restoration of Acadia (DFRA)''' (''i’Dorei Nidh sil U’cae o Akkadye)'' and the '''Democratic Acadia Movement (DAM)''' (''i'Dorei'sel Akkadye Sil'').

'''Landmark Buildings on CivUniverse'''
Perhaps one of the most loved and respected builds in all of Acadia was the '''Acadia Grand Central Station'''. It was the main transportation hub in Hyperborea, linking all settlements in Hyperborea with each other, and linking the continent to the rest of the server with a direct line to the motherland, Javaya. Built in typical traditional old Turing architecture with brick and stone brick, it's the main representative build of this style. The '''Aston Tower''', built by Cortwade, largely followed these same architectural conventions like most buildings in old Turing. Housing a number of newfriend apartments, it was the tallest building in all of Hyperborea, dominating the old Turing skyline. It represented a move towards urbanization as old Turing was growing quickly in its latest weeks. Another landmark came from the same urbanization rush; the '''Supreme Tribunal''' building by [[Huntwolf]], an example of Acadia
'''Landmark Buildings on CivClassic'''[[File:New Turing screenshot.png|thumb|342x342px|The Community Center and the Columbian embassy in New Turing]]The '''Rainbow Row''', built by Bloof, was one of New Turing's most successful residential and commercial projects. As New Turing sat upon a large height difference with the surrounding lake, waterfront development was a challenge; however; the Rainbow Row´s visibility ensured its inclusion in commercial traffic. It eventually became associated with the later rainbow hot air balloon and the gaybar as monuments to Acadia
== Foreign Relations ==
Although Acadia's population was traditionally largely in favor of isolationism, against close cooperation with larger powers, and anti-wp sentiments were somewhat common, Acadia's leadership and 'shadow government' was always largely in favor of strong alliances with larger, wp-aligned powers to establish security.
On CivUniverse, matters of foreign policy were largely handled by motherland Javaya, which remained mostly neutral in conflicts throughout the server, save for the end where it, and by proxy Acadia as well, joined the coalition against New Vegas in the New Vegas War. Acadia was part of the Commonwealth of Southern Nations, and oversaw matters on the Hyperborean continent as a guardian of the continent, which was largely populated by newfriends. On CivClassic, Acadia inherited Javaya's good relations with neighbor [[Wyvern]], which was now Acadia's neighbor Fish. A Special Friendship Pact was signed with Fish, granting special citizenship privileges to Acadian and Fish citizens and establishing military and diplomatic cooperation. Together a larger alliance in the +,- quadrant was created; the [[Plus-Minus Concordat|Plus-Minus-Concordat]] (PMC), with [[Sussex]], [[Mythril]], [[City of England]], [[Jomsviking Confederation|Jomsviking]], and [[Kallos]], which lasted until the events of the [[Jomsviking-England Incident]] which destroyed the larger alliance. Additionally, Acadia was an associate member of the [[UDF]], with close ties with Icenia through Acadian and Icenian official Juniortide, and especially Columbia, with which integration into a larger Columbian Federation was considered though ultimately rejected due to suspected lack of popular support. Around the end of the server, Acadia joined the re-established [[United Northern Congress (New)|UNC]].
