The '''Maritime Republic of Capeland''', or simply '''Capeland''',
== History ==
=== Pre-CivClassic ===
AK had joined CivClassic in mid 2019 in the hopes of finding a build server with an emphasis on nations and civility. He was initially a resident of [[Aurum]] (which later became a province of [[Varkonia]]), who helped [[SirFriendzone]] build some infrastructure. After building an Abbey in South Aurum, AK set off to explore the world, until he fell in a decrepit elevator on his way to Hvalsey, [[Yoahtl]].
Since then, AK took a break from CivClassic, but having been so inspired by its workings, started his own Civ server with a community based in [https://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch] called [https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/25297931/ ScratchCiv]. The server inevitably shut down after nearly a year of activity due to the security of the young server population being threatened by a doxxer. Talks of reviving ScratchCiv are in place, but action to do so likely won't happen until 1.17 releases.
Line 14:
=== Founding and Building of Cape Cocoa ===
[[File:Cape Cocoa Night.png|thumb|A townhouse built during the early stages of Cape Cocoa's construction.|alt=|left|300x300px]]A [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lviflf/official_claims_for_cape_cocoa/ reddit post] was made to formalize the land claims of Cape Cocoa, and was added to the map promptly after its submission into the [[Unified Map Project]].
The first dwellings were built on the side of the cliff face, with the Cliffside Boardwalk being the only path that connected the cliffside dwellings to the surface of the cliff. AK's cliffside dwelling later expanded upward and became the Traveller's Inn, while the room carved into the cliff was later developed into a tunnel that started the creation of Cape Cocoa's Underground.
Floating sea farms were built on the shallow waters at the base of the cliff, and the building of the first Coast Cabins were overseen by both AK and Northstar (IGN Northstar404).
The claiming of more land west and north of the original claim led to the establishment of four precincts, along with a unique layered-sector system. The building of housing was promptly prioritized as more and more people from ScratchCiv came to join Cape Cocoa and ultimately CivClassic. Later on as the population grew more and more, communal storage and factories got moved to an industrial quarter in Southmarket as a step toward zoning and organizing the town's infrastructure and resources.
Around Mid-April, the construction of the Town Hall was completed, and along with it came an official Constitution document and a flag change. The Constitution established Cape Cocoa as the Maritime State, and its contents were drafted by AK and Block (IGN RarelyUseful).[[File:CapeCocoaProper1.png|left|thumb|Cape Cocoa Proper, circa April 2021]]
Shortly after the signage of the Constitution, on April 18th general elections were held to determine new leadership positions in the young state. This resulted in the appointment of AK as Cape Cocoa's first Prime Minister. Eloc and Northstar became the first representatives of Parliament, representing Elonorth and Southmarket respectively. Finally, klabss (IGN Krazvalt) was made the first Grand Justice of Cape Cocoa, which also makes him the first Senior Justice.
The passage of the Citizenship Act (aka the Citizenship Codes or the Bill of Rights) opened up the state to newcomers in a more formalized manner, and since then the growth of Cape Cocoa took off after more and more people started to join. Most residents of Cape Cocoa at the time were newfriends, with the notable exception being [[SirTwiggles]], who applied for Cocoian citizenship despite being a citizen of [[Imperial Truidence]] and potentially [[Icenia]].

==== The Landa Crisis ====
[[File:DervGriefproof.png|thumb|Derv being caught on snitches, May 11th, 2021]]
On May 7th, 2021, [[keuradeurva]] (infamous for his contribution to the shutdown of ScratchCiv) replied to AK's [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/n5ptnb/new_cape_cocoa_claims/ reddit post] regarding the new claims of New Midway. At first Derv wanted to join the nation as a citizen, but due to the fact that many citizens (including former doxxing victims) did not feel comfortable with his presence, he was rejected citizenship and asked to settle elsewhere. Since then Derv has [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/n8re88/formation_of_landa/ settled land] north of [[Lambat (CivClassic 2.0)|Lambat]] and west of [[Potistan]] in the hopes of starting the nation of [[Landa]]. He has given Capeland the derogatory term of "Copeland" since then to spite its inhabitants, among attempts to incite grief on the discord server and persistent inquiries of Cocoian affairs.
On May 10th, 2021, Derv pinged @everyone on the discord server, causing widespread chaos and led to his banning on the server. Later a suspected alt would attempt to re-enter the server but the alt was recognized promptly.
On May 11th, 2021, Derv griefed Cape Cocoa by destroying reinforced blocks and containters, slaughtering livestock, and stealing items. The most widespread form of damage was the breakage of doors; likely in an attempt to rob its residents of any valuables they may possess. A "kill on sight" order was issued by Prime Minister AK to the public and to the people of Capeland, stating that "keuradeurva is NOT welcome back in Capeland" and that a POS will be issued if malignancy is kept up. Soon after that announcement, Derv attempted to travel by rail to raid Cape Cocoa. Luckily, his travels brought to the attention of the President of [[Lambat (CivClassic 2.0)|Lambat]], [[Kaprediem]], and the residents at Cape Cocoa were notified of his arrival.
When Derv arrived at Cape Cocoa's makeshift railstation, a skirmish occurred between defenders AK & Eloc and belligerent keuradeurva. AK was slain first due to a malfunctioning mouse, however Eloc ended up killing Derv and confiscated his items for citizen usage. A POS order was shortly issued afterward.
Line 60 ⟶ 53:
Also since the derv incident, his friend [[OMADude]] (who was the other person involved in doxxing ScratchCiv) had joined the server in an attempt to inflict more damage. He joined [[Icenia]] and after gaining citizenship, attempted to ip-grab using a link sent in the Icenia Discord. This, unsurprisingly, led to his pearling and ultimately his server ban. OMA had tried to send a monetized bounty on significant Icenian and Cocoian figures via reddit, but said post was taken down.
==== Co-operation with Lambat and the CES ====
Following the Landa Crisis, AK reached out to Lambatan president [[Kaprediem]] appealing for a friendship treaty of sorts. While Kaprediem expressed reluctance to engage in a military pact, he did agree on a formal non-military friendship with Capeland, and proposed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation between [[Lambat (CivClassic 2.0)|Lambat]] and Capeland. The document was signed by all involved members on May 20th, 2021.
The new treaty allowed for greater interaction between Lambatans and Cocoians. In particular, [[Commrade Potatoe]] of Lambat had finished the construction of the LBCL that included a connection to Cape Cocoa.

[[File:Drhorrowshowgrief.png|left|thumb|Drhorroshow's damage on Wabbittown caught on snitches.]]
Nearing the end of May and during the beginning of June, there was a period of server inactivity for AK which led to lessened activity within the Maritime Republic. This ultimately led to an increased frequency of security issues.
At the border between The Proper and Southmarket, there appears to have been a floating cobblestone "bridge" that extends comically far out into the ocean. At it's farthest point it had nearly reached [[Lambat|Kalayaan]]. The strip had been dismantled once by [[_DrMusic_]], however since then the bridge has been rebuilt. It is highly suspected that [[CrowzenR]] the Stone Man had built the bridge, but evidence is lacking.
The creation of this bridge has singlehandedly led to talks pushing for a bill that makes physics-defying structures illegal. However, such talks of a bill have since lost traction.
Player [[SlowlyFunny2]] had went into the public warehouse at Cape Cocoa and broke the reinforcements off all the chests inside, whilst taking valuable materials (notably stacks of iron, gold, and player essence). A POS was issued against them but they have not been seen on the server since. It is without doubt that they are an alt account, but there is no evidence leading to who's alt it may be.
[[File:2021-06-09 09.11.04.png|thumb|Flooding in Southmarket Valley]]
Player [[Drhorrorshow]] had went to Wabbittown Town Hall and broke in to steal and grief the place. A POS was issued against them but they have not been seen on the server since. [[Imperial Truidence|IT]] senator [[Stardust of Benevolence]] had encountered Drhorrorshow tripping several IT snitches. Stardust had asked him why he pinged so many snitches, Horrorshow allegedly claimed to be "exploring this dead world," and that they haven't played since 2018. When inquired by Stardust as to why they were moving so quickly, Horrorshow immediately logged out. It is without a doubt that they are an alt account, and the evidence suggests that said alt has connections to OMADude or keuradeurva.
Around June 9th, 2021, a great flood had occurred in Southmarket precinct. Among the affected structures includes the building at the Valley, a tower at Southmarket Bridge, and many parts of the Heights as well. Most notably, the site at which the Lambat Embassy was located has become a "swimming pool" according to fellow citizen [[Lunarien_]].
Line 100 ⟶ 87:
The leader of Parliament, the Prime Minister, also serves as the head of foreign matters, and is the sitting officer of the capital city.
A general election is held every month for Representatives of Parliament (Prime Ministers are voted every two months).
Up to three Justices may be appointed in the Grand Court. If any spots are vacant, Justices may be elected in a general election. A sitting Justice who serves the longest consecutive term is called the Senior Justice, and signs documents on behalf of the entire court.

* '''Grand Playa''' is a southern precinct of Cape Cocoa. Its territory was acquired on May 11th, 2021, however it was not made its own precinct until May 19th, 2021. It encompasses the low desert beneath Southmarket, and is currently being used to farm cactus.
* '''June Harbor''' is an area built on the cliffside shores of Cape Cocoa, notably featuring structures with dark prismarine and red brick. Before the ratification of the Second Constitutional Amendment, June Harbor was coastal territory split between The Proper, Southmarket, and Elonorth.
''The following information has been deemed invalid since the passage of the Second Constitutional Amendment on June 8th, 2021.''
The territory owned by Cape Cocoa is additionally split into three layers. This unique sectorization policy is a result of the terrain of Cape Cocoa, and the objective of maximizing the efficiency of the land.
Line 289 ⟶ 334:
* The '''Downstairs''' layer entails land and shallow waters at the base of cliffside land. Typically docks and floating farms are built here.
=== New Midway (Chungia) ===
New Midway (or locally known as Chungia) is located on a landmass east from Cape Cocoa. It covers territory formerly owned by [[Carpathia]], as well as a desert island west of the mainland that [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/lupems/the_most_blessed_and_gracious_emirate_of_medina/ may be coveted] by a semi/inactive player. The province is bordered by the [[Prospectors' Guild]] to the east, [[Vesteria]] to the north, and [[Carson (CivClassic)|Carson]]/[[Caledonia]] territory to the south.
==== Precincts ====
As of
* '''Wabbittown''' claims the general metropolitan area of the city of Wabbittown, but excludes the old Carpathian cities of Bizerte and Carpathipolis.
* '''Unorganized Chungian Territory''' claims the rest of the entirety of Chungia
Formerly, New Midway was divided into four arbitrary regions:
* '''Wabbittown''' claims the central region in New Midway, and only extends out to the borders of the city. It encompasses the whole taiga, and within its borders includes the archaic ruined town of Bizerte.

===== Lambat =====
During the Landa Crisis, [[Lambat (CivClassic 2.0)|Lambat]] provided aid to Capeland by detecting keuradeurva's whereabouts via rail snitches. A non-military friendship treaty was drafted by [[Kaprediem]] on May 16th, 2021, and its terms were approved by Parliament on the same day. A plot of land in Southmarket Heights is reserved for the construction of a Lambatan Embassy, whilst Block (IGN RarelyUseful) is in charge of building an embassy in Lambat City.
Lambat was the first friendship of Capeland.
