The Commonwealth
History
NOTE - Most of this information is outdated, unless specified.
Prior to 2.0, Anarchomaniac had the idea of starting a new city in the game as the previous city he founded with Matthew_Cole was griefed badly during l.0. The idea would be a Commonwealth style government that would be formed the moment 2.0 relaunched. Within the first days of the server relaunch, Anarcho and Matthew_Cole along with Lolmagus scouted different locations for the founding of the first borough of the Commonwealth. Matthew_Cole by chance stumbled upon a mountaintop which was empty and perfectly placed between a forest.
After he told Anarchomaniac of the location, Matthew_Cole homesteaded inside a cave of the mountain top which would be the first claim in the formation of Fort Ironside and eventually the start of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth wouldn't stop there with the second borough being around the corner due to the amount of people coming into it which would soon lead the formation of Verdant Valley by Chickenator200 and Aeglaecia, followed a few days after with Kokopopolis by MTBoroweski. These boroughs would become the original three which define the Commonwealth to this day.

The Commonwealth is governed autonomously by its boroughs and their Lords, each of whom choose their own method of administration. Boroughs can be located as close or as far from one another as they'd prefer. The boroughs elect members to the Commonwealth's House of Commons. Each Member of Parliament represents an electoral district, called a "riding". Parties may be formed to contest these elections.
Current (active) boroughs are: Fort Ironside, Verdant Valley, Kokopopolis, Union Ave, Seaside, Polaris, Pavlova, Gastonville, Queensport and CivISS.
