Line 54:
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 He later returned to his house and farm torn down, superseded by the Caledonian XP Wheat farm.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 (Summer 2018-Summer 2019) ====
Caledonia had its' roots in [[Yoahtl]], dreamt up by Yoatlan citizens who had grown disillusioned with the functions and operations of the Yoahtl government. Wingzero54 had served as Councillor for two terms and Deputy Alcuahtl throughout one of those terms. Meat312 served as Councillor for one term.

Sometime during these events, Caledonia joined [[SATO]] as a member state.
==== 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 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.
Line 122:
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.
