Although it is a fairly young nation compared to many of the other established civilizations, it has quickly grown prosperous and may be considered one of the wealthiest nations on the server. <br />

== XP Production ==▼
Wingzero54 created Yoahtl Eastern Hamlet XP (YEHXP) with Gdan, Nevermoregrimm, and gbrb. The four of them created the XP farms in eastern Yoahtl, and used the farms for personal XP production and to assist the Yoahtl government in their XP production. ▼
When Wingzero54 and Meat312 left to create Caledonia, Wingzero54 farmed YEHXP for a while longer but the great distance between the XP farms and Caledonia led Wingzero54 to quit farming them for some time. The other founders grew inactive and quit playing Minecraft, leaving the farms unused. A griefer, believed to be Poortea, griefed the farms but it was quickly cleaned up by Wingzero54 and they were then bastioned to prevent future grief. ▼
When Fredhun14 joined Caledonia he immediately desired to create XP, and together with Wingzero54 (but mostly Fredhun) they began farming the YEXHP farms once again and churning out XP. ▼
Caledonia floated the idea of taking over the territory holding YEHXP from Yoahtl, but was quickly rejected despite Yoahtl's disuse of the land. ▼
After that Caledonia built its' own XP farms to bring production to a local area and reduce reliance on long-distance foreign lands. With the creation of the new farms, Caledonia abandoned YEHXP which now stays under the ownership of GDAN and is available for use to Yoahtl. ▼
== History ==
Line 144 ⟶ 121:
Caledonia once again cemented themselves as a prominent player in the Coalition with the Pinkerton Offensive at the beginning of February, in which several of the most prominent Caledonians aided in constructing the attack bridge and breaking bastions. The Consuls were especially important in motivating and preparing Coalition forces for the attack. Caledonia would be largely absent from the later assault on Corvus due to the spontaneity of the attack.
Around this time, an important policy would be solidified after much discussion among the Caledonian govenment around the concept of ''"Proper Claims Usage"'', with SwordMaster [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/es3pcj/a_problem_of_inactivity_how_inactive_claims_hurt/ publishing a rough essay] detailing some of the concepts discussed. After this, it was decided that the Northern-most New Sovian islands would be released as it was determined they would not see much use, and it might be better to allow a new nation an opportunity to build there. However, Appomattox would later take control of these islands, citing the same security reasons as Caledonia had before. Anticipating Brennau being effectively declaimed in the January 2020 Claims Map, Caledonia would claim a single island that de jure belonged to Brennau, a snow biome that had been used as farm land by Caledonia for many months. Because of the land usage, this action was seen as justified. SwordMaster's post would later encourage the [[Communist Cities Caretaker-Protectorate|CCCP]] to take responsibility over the claims of Provincia and free a few of Provincia's islands, effectively freeing more land for future possible nations. Many old inactive nations within the Southeast were cleared at this time, allowing more possibility for advancement of the Quadrant. Due to this policy of Practical Claims, it was expected that Caledonia would not expand, at least not for a long time, with enough land to house all the farms it could need and plenty of space to start a few cities.

==== Corinth ====
Corinth is a small proto-settlement in the western plains of the mainland. Many builds are planned for it, although it does not have the proper infrastructure to be populated as of now. While it was originally intended to have a Greco-Roman aesthetic, this was changed to a more modern aesthetic in order to easier facilitate builds. Some of the first buildings built were built before this change, however, leading to certain builds having a more classical flavor. It is situated upon another Sunflower Plains in the Northern section of the town, where the city center will probably be, which has been covered with a loose forest in order to make it feel greener. To the South is a large Red-Sand Desert that has been almost completely stripped of all its sand for the production of XP. This Desert is being terraformed, being covered over in dirt and having a sizable lake constructed in the middle to increase aesthetic value.
