History

Civclassics Origins

The origins of Blockchainistan lie in the early days of Civclassics. The founders of Blockchainistan, RabbiCroc and Figasaur, created and played in the Jewish Quarter in Mount Augusta and later Icenia. Both times they were harassed and expelled from these towns due to their Jewish identity. These expulsions had a significant impact on both players, who realized they would need to create their own city to fully ensure their security and freedom of religion. This desire to forge their own path as well as their interest and affinity for cryptocurrency led to the creation of Blockchainistan on the first day of CivMC.

Early Days and War of Western Aggression

Blockchainistan was initially going to be founded in the northeastern corner of the map, near the world border in a birch forest biome. However, after RabbiCroc made the astute observation that the island Figasaur had chosen was too small, the group packed up their belongings and moved to the complete opposite side of the map, to a jungle biome in the -,+ quadrant. However, this would not be the only migration the Blockchainistanis would undergo. Two players loosely associated with Blockchainistan, AbbyShapiro and TrustThePlan had been (allegedly) raiding several nations during these first few days. As a result, a conspiracy theory was created by MrJoCrafter (Leader of the People's Republic of Western Boundary) that Figasaur and RabbiCroc were coordinating or supplying these two loosely associated individuals in their alleged crimes. Even more significantly, MrJoCrafter asserted that Figasaur himself might actually be AbbyShapiro.

Of course, these conspiracy theories have been thoroughly debunked since then, but they were enough to whip several nations into a fury against the innocent Blockchainistanis. Instead of contacting Fig or Croc to possibly pearl the raiders or cooperate on capturing them, MrJoCrafter instead used this disinformation campaign to bring together a coalition of players who declared war on Blockchainistan. In series of events remniscent of the Dreyfus Affair, the coalition went and raided what little resources Blockchainistan had while both Fig and Croc were offline. When Fig and Croc finally got online and realized what was happening, it was only then that MrJoCrafter came to his senses and began diplomatic talks with the Blockchainistanis
