Amicitia: Difference between revisions

 

Veteran CivMC builder LightStatus joined Amicitia at this time. As an offering to the King, LightStatus built two structures that would become known as LightStatus Monument and Greenwood Factory. The area in which he built these became the first center of Amicitian industry and was later dubbed “LightStatus Square”.

Historians often declare this period of Amicitian history as the “Early Development” phase, citing its end with the beginning of construction on the Lux Castle, which took place after the completion of LightStatus Square.

 

In this period, the King and his Royal Diplomat jjonthan traveled to the Realm of Aeros and signed the “Treaty of the Enchanted City” with Aeros’s Grand Councilor ItzHoover- solidifying their friendship and cooperation.

Not long after this, Amicitia and Mount Augusta became formal allies with Amicitia’s signing of the Mount Augusta Friendship Organization (MAFO) and Mount Augusta Treaty Organization (MATO). Soon after, an Amicitian delegation was present and played a small role in the inauguration of Augustan Mayor Podly.

An informal alliance also took shape when Amicitian citizen and King’s champion Magme_Valero created the humanitarian Guild of the Travelers. Though existing as a separate entity from the Kingdom, the Guild received much backing and support from the King and other citizens.

=== Eire Golden Age & Further Expansion ===

Eire’s integration into the Kingdom saw it become the center of Amicitia’s wheat producing complex. Under the leadership of Minister of Agriculture tdavis232, the island experienced rapid growth and production. In lieu of this, Eire’s wheat industry soon became the most profitable in all of Amicitia.

 

The growth and development experienced by Amicitia in this time is commonly credited to what historians have dubbed as “Jovian Expansionism” (named after Amicitian Royal Diplomat jjonthan), which focuses on expansion via peaceful diplomacy followed by the building up of integrated lands led by empowered citizens.

=== The B.U.I.L.D. Alliance & Lux in Past and Future ===

Amicitia’s global presence continued to grow. With this came a request from ComradeNick for Amicitia to join the recently established BUILD Alliance.

With overseas relationships being established, the Lux Capital underwent major changes and increases in infrastructure. Ashburn Central Station was established with access to both the OneDest SNACC line and the Amicitian Domestic Rail (ADR) streamlining travel between the Lux Capital and other islands. The Emptum Shopping District was also completed, providing further jobs for Amicitians.
