'''Caledonia''' was a friendly trade nation in the [[+,+ (CivClassic 2.0)|+,+]] quadrant of [[CivClassic 2.0|CivClassics]], founded in August of 2018 by [[Wingzero54]] and [[meat312]], both of whom were [[Yoahtl]] ex-pats.
It was connected by rail to [[Iria]], [[Pripyat]], [[Entrana]], [[Freedonia]], and the former [[Brotherhood of Steel]]. It was connected to the 0,0 - [[Mir]] rail through the Iria rail; to [[Vinland]], [[Yoahtl#New Yoahtl City|New Yoahtl City]], and [[Westminster]] through [[Entranan Republic|Entrana]].

==== Birth of a Nation (Summer 2018-Summer 2019) ====
Caledonia had its
Both had different, but similar, reasons for wanting to leave Yoahtl. The endless government battles on policy and menial details alone was enough to drive anybody insane. Wingzero54 had spent his first council term attempting to push through governmental reforms, and after meeting an impenetrable wall in the form of [[Dr Oracle]], spent his second council term coming to grips with how he could function in the Yoahtl government. Eventually Wingzero54 found that he could not stand Yoahtl anymore, his own views on government and operations being so different from Yoahtl's. One aspect which drove a wedge was Yoahtl's deeply ingrained policy of isolation, and for a long time, unwillingness to actively bring in new players.
Wingzero54 and Meat312 had gotten to know each other first by working together in the Prot business. Meat312
Time spent together on the council brought Wingzero and Meat closer together, even though they clashed on many ideas. Meat312's dis-illusionment came from frustrations of being Yoahtl's general. There were constant squabbles about how much access Meat should have to government resources and funds, and a constant tug-of-war granting and taking away citadel group permissions. Yoahtl invading [[Laconia]] was the final straw for Meat312. He saw the conflict through to the end, but by then was fully resolved to abandon Yoahtl for a new nation with Wingzero54.
Line 56:
Wingzero54 and Meat312 spent July preparing the nation, building basic infrastructure before publicly declaring their nation. The announcement came [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/9cxmoi/yet_another_new_nation_claim_republic_of_caledonia/ in August 2018 on the subreddit]. As previously mentioned, the fall of 2018 was a burgeoning time for the +,+ quadrant with many new nations cropping up.
After a couple months in Caledonia, and the founding of the capital, Aberdeen, Meat312 began advertising his wares again for players all across the server to come buy prot and tools in Caledonia. A couple alt raiders hit Aberdeen, craft_2_kids (to this day an unknown alt that

In response to the alt raids to Aberdeen, and with Mir expanding their own claims, Caledonia decided to expand its
Throughout this entire time period Caledonia consisted mainly of just Wingzero54 and Meat312. Scouter9001 moved to Caledonia and played for some time before becoming inactive. Other assorted players joined and quit playing, all attempts at recruitment ending in failure.

==== An Era of Growth (Summer & Fall 2019) ====
A renaissance would come to Caledonia, however, with the concurrence of several events. A secure shopping mall was designed and constructed, the current home of the prot, tool and weapon sales of Meat312. It

Caledonia annexed the [[Brotherhood of Steel]], [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/bzd7u9/the_brotherhood_has_joined_caledonia/ announced June 2019 on the subreddit]. The two nations had been working together since the Brotherhood of Steel moved into old Freedonia, and the consolidation of small +,+ nations

The beginning of August 2019 would bring forth a small newfriend population boom, and with newfriends came new opportunities. Among them was [[SwordMaster7777]], who might be referred to as a "veteran" newfriend due to his time hermitting on Caledonian land for some months, learning much about the server's mechanics (although it wasn't Caledonian when he originally settled there). SwordMaster7777 quickly found his niche as a builder, first decorating the Iria rail tunnel, and then making the Caledonian Library. Another player, 8jaaroud, built the town smithy before proceeding to kick-start his tree-chopping bot initiative.
Wingzero54 had had eyes on the western plains biome for some time as an ideal spot for a new settlement. As opposed to Aberdeen's medieval build aesthetic, this new town would have a Greco-Roman aesthetic along with a matching name: Corinth. By the beginning of September 2019, the Corinthian Mall was constructed, complete with a space for a factory inside, an important infrastructural advancement for future construction in the budding city.
Line 87:
A small scandal would occur when three Caledonian citizens (Wateroo, Ibis, and Helpmeplease) raided the inactive nation of Pripyat. They would be demoted back to residents and pearld for two weeks for their crimes. As this seemed to be a small one time occurrence of uncondoned raiding, Caledonia would still continue to have a positive reputation, and for the most part free of the growing animosity against the nations of big international alliances that was occurring at this time.

Three swamp islands were purchased in the west, nearer to 0,0 than any Caledonian land before. Old, abandoned buildngs were repurposed into factories and warehouses for new farms being added in the area. Major crops included cocoa beans, vines, sugarcane, bamboo and jungle logs. Arrelani

Wingzero54 ascended to server Adminstraor-hood on September 30, leaving Fredhun14, Hockey328 and darthorangejuice to lead Caledonia as praetors in an oligarchy into the foreseeable future. Wing's diamond enchanted leggings can still be visited at the Admin Church in Aberdeen, with a plaque that reads, "The Admin's Underpants - the last worldy possesion of Wingzero54".
