Line 37:
==== The Long March ====
Jshatney imposed a humiliating peace treaty on the Arlingtonians, essentially stripiing their autonomy to that of a Frankonian vassal state. [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] and the other leadership refused to accept this loss of autonomy and intimidation by Frankonia, but could not fight the Frankonians. Thus the Arlingtonians collectively made the difficult decision to navigate north from the Gelie to the uninhabited, unclaimed, and treacherous Glass Wastes, making a stop off in [[Astoria]] along the way.
==== Government Reorganization ====
As they arrived in the new capital city of New Arlington, the citizens of Arlington, the citizens demanded reorganization of the government, which was complied with the replacement of [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] as chief and de-facto monarch with a rotating chiefdom council of 3 citizens but that always also included [[SinjoroJoCrafter]]. The government was renamed to the '''Unitary People's Republic of Arlington''' to reflect its new pseudo-socialist design.
=== Unitary People's Republic of Arlington ===
==== Dispute with CCC ====
The land of New Arlington turned out to have not been as unclaimed as the Arlingtonians believed, as a small portion of their claim intersected the claims of the Comrades of the Claw Company, a corporation made up of representatives from various other CivEx nations for Glass Wastes development. [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] ordered all constructions inside Arlington's claims that did not belong to Arlington destroyed, which caught the attention of [[Owain_X]], a representative of the CCC.<ref>[[:File:CCC 1.png|File:CCC 1.png]]</ref> After careful negotations, the border was fixed so both parties would not run into each other in the Glass Wastes.<ref>[[:File:CCC 2.png|File:CCC 2.png]]</ref>

V-NAF_Aardist, now a co-chief of Arlington, decided that the leadership and soft power of SinjoroJoCrafter as de-facto cultural leader was too powerful, and began a coup to end his legal and cultural power. Initially he gained support however the coup hit a snag when SinjoroJoCrafter simply left the city to his private offshore artificial island base, unofficially dubbed Jo Island. As Aardist did not know where Jo Island was and no one had groups for it except Jo, the coup essentially faltered. SinjoroJoCrafter formally conceded his 'founder' role, which gave him power over the proceedings of the government even if he was no longer a chief, but maintained Discord ownership despite Aardist and others' protests that this made the rotating councillor positions pointless.
The dynamic of the conflict changed when JTheGoldenHeart, a mercenary who SinjoroJoCrafter had brought into Arlington and CivEx to help him maintain control over New Arlington went rouge, attacking both the rebellious Arlingtonians and Jo Island simultaneously. This caused everyone except Aardist to forget about the coup attempts and issues in leadership to unite against the raider. Having seen his support collapsed, V-NAF_Aardist quit CivEx but not before making a quitting post scathing SinjoroJoCrafter's leadership<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/aozjl9/im_very_angry/</ref>, describing the conflict in biased terms.
==== Decline of Arlington and End of CivEx ====
Despite having won the civil war and regaining control over Arlington, the activity and development of New Arlington began to wane. Unidentified raiders raided New Arlington's already meager food supplies, causing the city to need to ration food and beginning to hemorrhage players. Arlington officially dissolved as a state when [[CivEx: First Light]] fell to essentially zero activity sometime in March of 2019.
== CivClassics: Part 1 ==
=== First State of Astonia ===
When [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] first joined CivClassics, he settled on a small swamp island that on the CCMap appeared to be unclaimed, and made a reddit post<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/casdb8/claims_of_astonia/</ref>, and got to building a nation.
However, he was unaware that he had settled in an unenforced claim of a much larger nation called [[Adina (CivClassics)|Adina]].
