Freedonia, later the Brotherhood of Steel, was a nation in the +,+ that was founded by Joshua_Graham on June 11th, 2017.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6gpv7j/claim_another_boring_claim_post/</ref> Their claims were later expanded north and south on June 15th,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6hhgwa/claim_freedonias_updated_claims/</ref> and then on March 3rd, 2018 they claimed part of a nether island, and by this time they had built Varen City as evidenced by the map.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/81vw1l/commune_of_freedonias_updated_claims/</ref>
== History ==
=== Freedonia ===
{{Infobox civilization|language=English|name=Freedonia|location=6700, 400|activity_level=Defunct|capital_city=Freedonia (Current Varen City)|territories=West of Caledonia's heartland|government_type=Anarcho-Communist Collective|position_name1=Joshua_Graham|position_title1=???|foundation_date=June 11th, 2017|succeeded_by=Tierran Freedonia, Brotherhood of Steel, Caledonia, Vuoto/Plagadonia}}
In 2017, Freedonia, an anarcho-communist collective was created by Joshua_Graham, an oldfriend who also played on civcraft. The nation reached an unknown number of people until it went inactive in around September 2018.
In February<ref>of 2019?</ref>, Graham returned, and modern Freedonia was born. He traveled across the map, eventually finding [[Tierra de Conciencia]] (TdC), where he met YourAverageRick and Godomasta. Due to Godo screwing up the rail station in Ravine City's water drop, Graham died of fall damage. He let TdC keep copies of his book, ''Rhapsody in Red: The Miracles of Communism''.
==== Tierran Freedonia ====
A land dispute between [[Carpathia]] and [[Brennau|Aznazia]] left Freedonia under occupation by [[Tierra de Conciencia]], under the name of Tierran Freedonia, until YourAverageRick's departure. It is attested to by reddit posts from May 14th,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/8jeewj/new_claims_map_send_in_your_borders/</ref> to July 26th.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/929d1l/which_nations_are_still_alive/</ref> The actual time it existed is not fully known.
=== Brotherhood of Steel ===

Joshua_Graham left a month or two before he did. When YourAverageRick came back next year<ref>Which year?</ref>, he decided to repent for the many atrocities that he committed in the name of TdC's communist regime as their High Inquisitor. And so, the Brotherhood was born.
On September 15th of 2019, Caledonia unclaimed the old land so that newfriends could colonize it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d4ljkd/caledonia_releasing_bos_claims/</ref>
== Geography ==
Freedonia, later theThe Brotherhood of Steel was located in the +,+ quadrant at 6700 400. It was connected by rail to [[Mir]], [[Pripyat]], [[Aznazia]], [[Carpathia]], and [[Caledonia]]. It bordered [[Pripyat]], [[Aznazia]], [[Carpathia]], and [[Caledonia]].
During Freedonian times the capital was just one thing, but later it was split into two districts during the Brotherhood of Steel.
District 1 was named Old Town, and has all the old anarcho-communistFreedonian buildings, and the Brotherhood's stadium, the Trog Pit formerly known as The Comrade Dome, District 2 was the Eastern Campus, which houses all of the Order of Saint Marcus' buildings.
The Brotherhood recently annexed the Hyperion Corporation, a former corporate state (similar to [[Corvus]]) owned by Vend3tta__. It is now called "Buena Vista" because the view is killer.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bore13/the_hyperion_corporation_formally_gives_all_of/</ref>
