== History ==
==== Pre-History (Before Summer 2018) ====
For much of the history of the land that would later become known as Caledonia, it remained for the most part unsettled and unused, though a few odd people came and built a little something.
The '''Stone Age settlers''' were mysterious peoples who built primitive structures both above and underground. Among them was Kuhlcow, who built clay houses down in the seldom traveled depths of the central mesa. Those that built underground are unknown, with theories ranging from ambitious newfriends to mole people to ancient aliens. Kuhlcow would later join Caledonia and build a house there, though would become inactive soon after. His house still stands as it is deemed particularly aesthetically pleasing despite his long absence.
The notable '''Iron Age settler''' was a player by the name of Aamon. He built a small house and a wheatfarm, but went inactive for a very long time. He later returned to his house and farm torn down, superseded by the Caledonian XP Wheat farm. He would also join Caledonia and tell stories of the subterranean ruins he found in which the unknown Stone Age Settlers lived.
==== Birth of a Nation (2018-2019) ====
Line 87 ⟶ 94:
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 has never logged in again) got away with multiple sets of prot and weapons and assumedly dropchested them outside of Caledonia where another account picked them up, or they are waiting to be grabbed perhaps still to this day. After this raid we overhauled the prot and tool sales, but several restricted inventory and access which hurt sales. Erutara attempted to raid, but was caught in the act by Wingzero54 who, expecting a naked random, instead found a fully geared and potted account which proceeded to wipe the floor with Wingzero54. N3ptune would later admit to being Erutara some months later.

In response to the alt raids to Aberdeen, and with Mir expanding their own claims, Caledonia decided to expand its' claims to meet the borders of Mir and enable them to expand their snitch grids. [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/a17ypd/caledonia_expanded_claims/ It was announced November 2018 on the subreddit].

==== An Era of Growth (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 is whitelisted to control access to the shopchests. New players arrived in the form of HenryDraton, of MtA, who decided to leave MtA after the fall of Godomasta and failure of that administration. Fredhun14, longtime friend of Wingzero54 from a previous server, became active in minecraft again and joined CivClassic. After constructing many XP farms, Fred would go on to construct his castle, ''Castle Vroengard'', one of the largest ongoing projects in Caledonia to this day. Fred was also made a government official this time, being given the title "Praetor", a title which had previously belonged to Scouter9001.
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 is seen as being good for the overall health and activity of the quadrant. Hockey328, one of these integrated citizens from the BoS, would go on to become a government official after a single month, being given the title "Legate".
Line 107 ⟶ 114:
As the Autumn of 2019 progressed, Caledonia would continue to benefit from another influx of newfriends with a great deal of new projects happening around Aberdeen. The New Aberdeen Train Station was finally finished with room for 12 separate lines, a vast upgrade from the old station, and one of these newfriends, LordGonner, built a new hotel for newfriends to stay in as the old tavern could no longer hold all the incoming newfriends.
Around this time, due to the complete integration or inactivity of BoS citizens, it was decided that the territory of Freedonia, now unused, should be let go in order so that somebody else may one day have a better use for it, thereby rendering the Brotherhood of Steel defunct.
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. Helpmeplease would then leave Caledonia and drunkenly grief Icenia.

==== Adina ====
Caledonia has maintained a neutral relationship with [[Adina]] due to a lack of major political events between the two (as well as the great distance between their capitals). Many Adinans travel to Aberdeen in order to shop at the Securemall. The Consuls were at first wary of Adina
