Acadia: Difference between revisions

Acadia was founded prior to [[CivUniverse]] by [[Cortwade]], who created the nation largely from [[Norlund|Norlundish]] and [[Adina|Adinan]] culture. Although Acadian history starts from October 21 2020, Acadia held ancestry from the older nations of [[Norlund]], [[Adina]], and [[Javaya]]. Acadia was founded to be a safe haven from toxicity and a welcoming home for newfriends and casual players, focussing on building and roleplay politics.<ref>Recruitment advertising: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivUniverse/comments/km7dvb/general_recruitment_post_discussion/ghdc2od/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 link] (reddit comment)</ref> To ensure the nation's security, Acadia became a vassal state of [[Javaya]], which brought protection and guidance in return for potatoes for their xp-production. 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]]. With CivUniverse losing activity Acadia migrated to [[CivClassic]], where it re-established itself as an independent nation in the [[+,-|+,- quadrant]]. While it never experienced a major conflict like on CivUniverse, it suffered from the tiresome TNSC conflicts centered around the controversial player [[RainOfPain125|Rainie]]. Acadia became increasingly involved in international politics and became an associate member of the [[UDF]] with close relations to [[Columbia]] and [[Icenia]].

Officially founded on October 21, 2020, prior to the server launch, the Autonomous Republic of [[Acadia]], sometimes also referred to as 'the dominion of Acadia' was one of the oldest nations of [[CivUniverse]].<ref>The first announcement on Acadia Discord: [https://imgur.com/a/ysmnXuO link] (imgur of discord message)</ref> 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. Quickly after launch Acadians found the continent of Hyperborea and settled their capital city Turing, with help from a few [[Javaya|Javayans]]. Before the day was out Turing featured a factory building and the beginnings of its first large potato farm. In the following month houses were built and the town of Serena was founded as an outpost, and work began on the Acadia Grand Central Station, connecting Turing to Javaya. While activity began to slow down, this was quickly offset by a very successful recruitment initiative, bringing new life and energy into Acadia. The potato farm was expanded, the central station completed, and both Turing and Serena kept growing, most notably with the construction of the Supreme Tribunal in Turing.[[File:Picture of Old Turing.png|thumb|335x335px|Screenshot of Old Turing from the sea, made by Bloof|left]]Shortly after the influx Acadia held its first elections, reelecting Cortwade for a second term. In terms of engagement, the elections were a great success.<ref>Recording of the first Acadian election debates: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2z8dbSizMQ&ab_channel=Pandastical link] (youtube video)</ref> However, it also marked the beginning of Acadia's divise party politics.<ref>Divisiveness in the first elections: [https://imgur.com/a/LVR3VfU link] (imgur of discord message)</ref> The development of an intra-Acadian rail was a paramount issue during the election, with Progressive-Snow candidates campaigning for the construction of an underground rail, and Solidarity Party candidates campaigning for an overground rail and claiming that the Progressive-Snow candidates were dragging their feet on the issue. While the Acadian Parliament kept discussing and delaying the issue, Interim Minister of Homeland Affairs [[Bloof]], member of the Progressive Snow Party and Javaya's 'fixer' in Acadia, eventually decided to finish the rail on her own. With the excitement of a new server sipping away and newfriend activity going down Acadia's population began to shrink in size despite new recruitment initiatives. Nevertheless, Acadia remained on of the most active nations on the server and kept developing. The Lionsgate Stadium was built, as well as a new, larger factory building, and Turing kept expanding with more residential and commercial buildings.
