=== Varathian Brewers Guild ===

The Brewer's Guild was an organization, based in northern [[Olendor]], that served both as a guild for brewing alcohol, and as a sort of political party. It was founded by [[TTastic]] and had [[Wshankspear]], [[Albyrt]] and [[Fitian]] as members.
=== Founding ===
[[File:Early Alexandria.png|thumb|400px|An early pic of Alexandrias development, showing the construction of the Upboat. Dated November 20th, 2019.]]
On October 30th, 2019, [[TTastic]] decided to venture east and found a new city. When he reached the eastern shores, he found a bunch of abandoned stone houses, which he used as a tempoary base of operations.<ref name=":0" />
Having set up a base of operations, TTastic started looking for an [[Aqua Nether|aqua nether]] portal in the area. On November 1st, 2019, TTastic found a portal a bit to the north of where he had founded the city. He decided to move the city to the location of the new portal, and got help setting up from [[Albyrt]]. Shortly thereafter, [[Jaydon_]] came and helped build the city. TTastic, Albyrt and Jaydon_ formed the City Council, which would serve as the government of the city.
On November 4th, 2019, the Newfriend Manor was constructed, which would serve as a place for [[newfriends]] to live until they built their own homes. The Newfriend Manor also had a tutorial to help new players get started. Newfriend Manor would go on to help solidify Alexandrias status as a newfriend town.<ref>[[:File:Newfriend Manor Sign.png|File:Newfriend Manor Sign.png]]</ref>

''Main Article: [[Ez2War]]''
[[File:Careless talk.png|thumb|200px|A propaganda poster from the week leading up to the Siege of the Ez2Vault]]
On February 10th, 2020, RavenRavenRaven officially transfered the control of [[United Republic|Unitas]] to [[Accelerada]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/f1it7p/unitas_now_belongs_to_accelerada/</ref> This transfer was contested by the [[Western Empire]], which led to a heated conflict on the CivRealms Discord about the claim.<ref>[[:File:Accelerada Unitas Announcement CivrealmsPolitics.png|File:Accelerada Unitas Announcement CivrealmsPolitics.png]]</ref> During the very height of this conflict, ThePayman, representing the [[Ez2crew|Ez2Empire]], declared that the Ez2Empire now also claimed Unitas.<ref>[[:File:Ez2Crew Claims Unitas.png|File:Ez2Crew Claims Unitas.png]]</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/f1v48m/unitas_now_belongs_to_ez2crew/</ref> The server was down at this time, so a lot of Discord PVP ensued. After the server went up again, people started preparing for what was to come.
[[File:Combat Bread.png|left|thumb|200px|Picture of TTastic being pearled by Ez2Clutch. He is holding the infamous Combat Bread.]]
[[File:TTastic Pearl.png|left|thumb|250px|Picture of TTastics pearl moments before he was freed.]]
On February 11th, 2020, a raiding party from the Ez2Empire attacked Accelerada. They destroyed multiple chests and snitches before moving on to Alexandria. These raids continued for three days while citizens and supplies were evacuated. This attack against Alexandria led to the formation of the [[Fight or Die Coalition]]. After the initial raid on Accelerada and Alexandria, the Ez2Empire launched multiple raids in the following days.
During the days leading up to the attack on the Ez2Vault, Alexandria launched a propaganda campaign in their Discord. The goal of the campaign was to get the citizens of Alexandria to not leak any sensitive information to the Ez's. This was achieved by declaring ''Shut The Fuck Up Friday'', where all citizens had to not say a word in public Discords, and by repurposing the WW2 slogan "Loose lips sink ships".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_lips_sink_ships</ref><ref>[https://discord.gg/3wD4cfW Alexandria Discord], Archive, #wartime-memes</ref>
On saturday, February 15th, 2020, the Coalition launched their initial attack against the Ez2Vault. The attack marked the beginning of a week long siege, which resulted in the breaking of the Ez2Vault. On sunday, February 16th, 2020, during the siege of the Ez2Vault, TTastic was pearled by CivRealmsPolice (Ez2Clutch). His pearl was kept in the core of the Ez2Vault, where it remained until he was freed at the end of the siege.
=== Signing of the Shit Just Works Constitution ===
On March 4th, 2020, the Council of Alexandria, along with a handful of citizens, gathered to rework the Alexandrian judicial system. The goal was to make a new constitution to replace the old one.

The Cabinet is divided into two parts: the Ministers and the Representatives. The Ministers are appointed by the Council, while the Representatives are elected on a monthly basis by the Citizens.
=== Bobanga Conference ===
''Main Article: [[Treaty of Tenochtitlan]]''
On March 17th, 2020, members of the [[Fight or Die Coalition]] met with the Bobangan government to discuss the future of the Bobangan jungle. This was a direct result of the Ez2War, where the First Scholar of Bobanga, DarkyDu, had participated on the Ez2 side of the war. After 6 days of discussion, the members of the Bobanga Conference agreed upon a new partition of the Bobangan Jungle. The Result was that Alexandria gained new Land in the eastern jungle, [[Anvard]] gained land in the southern jungle, [[Miletos]] gained land in the western jungle and the new nations of [[Eslenti]] and [[Cantina]] (formerly known as Risunsky and Sons) were founded. In addition to this, Bobanga also agreed to recognize the [[Yamato]] claim over [[Puerto Vexler|Port Paradis]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/fnfnxr/the_results_of_the_bobangan_conference/</ref><ref>[https://discord.gg/3wD4cfW Alexandria Discord], Archive, #bobanga-conference</ref>
