=== 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.

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]].

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.

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_]].

The leader of Parliament, the Prime Minister, also serves as the head of foreign matters, and is the sitting officer of the capital city.

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 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.

* The '''Downstairs''' layer entails land and shallow waters at the base of cliffside land. Typically docks and floating farms are built here.

==== Precincts ====

* '''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.
