Columbia: Difference between revisions

|shadedoom, originally a founder of Columbia on Devoted 3.0, was the first Columbian to ever set foot on and claim Columbian soil in CivClassics 2.0. He was made into a Fürst very early on by kdeeks, and would later become somewhat inactive and be downgraded to a Margrave. He would continue to be inactive for some time, until the Chancellorship of Haecceity_, when he began dedicated more effort to the game. Eventually, once Sirboss001 disbanded the nation on CivClassics 2.0, shadedoom would lead a group of Columbians onto Expand to begin a short-lived iteration of Columbia there. On Expand, several new players were integrated into Columbian circles that would later follow the nucleus back to Columbia on CivClassics 2.0. Following an approximately two month hiatus, Columbia returned in midsummer, through an event known as the Columbian Homeward Migration, under the leadership of shadedoom. shadedoom, who would shortly thereafter win the election for Fourth Chancellor of Columbia, secured independence and recognition for the nation from all global powers. Under his leadership, the Charter of Columbia was reformed, internal organization was strengthened, and the economy began to boom on the back of his Vice Chancellor Hamboy_Jr's efforts in botting to produce EXP. Additionally, in the later portion of his first term, shadedoom began organizing construction efforts on a national vault, following in the footsteps of Haecceity_. Perhaps the biggest change was that, unlike in all previous administrations, drama and intrigue were kept low and seen as a destructive force that led to corruption and divisive relationships; Columbia became a lot more united and internally peaceful as a whole. With most aspects of Columbia improving under him like defense, organization, and production, two severe flaws still existed in his leadership: an inability to moderate international opinion, and a difficulty in promoting citizen activity. However, after appointing Haecceity_ as Foreign Minister once more, international opinion of Columbia somewhat improved. Ultimately, although often imperfect, shadedoom's Chancellorship is generally agreed to have been a very positive thing for the nation.

|NeoTide_ was the Vice Chancellor of Columbia and Mayor of Rotterdam under the Chancellorship of Just_Matter. His Mayorship in Rotterdam saw the construction of early government buildings and roads, however the infrastructure of that period has largely been erased, and the most notable remaining vestige of it is the Rotterdam City Hall. Outside of the urban sector of Rotterdam, the old city, colloquially known as Hamlet, was erected by NeoTide_ in the days before the New Year's Compromise, and acted as a temporary settlement for Columbians before downtown Rotterdam was developed.
