The city was founded by [[Dossier5]] during the opening days of the server. The Republic of Columbia extended 800 blocks in all directions from its centerpoint (approximately 6800, -4000) and included both the city of Columbia and the city of [[Rapture]]. The border was marked with pillars that contained information about the land claim of the city in the form of bookcases.<ref>Screenshot of border pillars https://imgur.com/5wFumSY</ref>[[File:Columbiaborder.png|thumb]]
 
Columbia was a Constitutional Republic and is one of Civcraft's most notable cities with a rich history, massive metropolitan area, and many famous former residents.

== Ancaps first attempt to seize power; The Panama Incident ==
 
Jealous over the success of Columbia and the failure of their cities, the ancaps schemed. Under the leadership of [[manintime]], the ancaps sought to initiate violence upon the citizens of Columbia. To do this, they established a small city called panama within the territory of the Republic. However, the settlers of Columbia recognized the ancap attempts to initateinitiate violence upon them and restrained using violence as a means of solving this conflict; seeking to peacefully accomodateaccommodate the ancaps through treaty.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/rezNt</ref>
 
In contrast, the [[factions/LSIF|LSIF]] interest in Columbia grew; establishing relations through a treaty which granted them the right to peacefully establish a commune called Goldmayne.
Line 133:
== The Democratic Workers' Republic of Columbia ==
 
Long after the Downfall, a movement was formed to create a new socialist state from the ruins of the once mighty Columbia City. An organisation of leftists, including members of LSIF, [[RSSR]], [[Communist Party of Mount Augusta|CPMA]] and [[Leningrad]] formed a socialist republic within days.
 
The republic got off to a turbulent start with the killing of [[synthion]], the phantom anarchist, by the former president of the city, [[rdhayes06]], for replacing the traditional Columbian C flag with socialist ones. This sparked off a very tense situation between the founding fathers of Columbia and the socialist settlers. Some of the settlers began a squatting, renovation and dereliction campaign, which was quickly beaten back by the ancaps and wider international community. [[Leningradovites]] built an entire new district on Columbia's outskirts, the LSIF reinvigorated Goldmayne commune, and the President of the DWRC, [[facecuddle]], brought in many reforms for voluntary citizens of the DWRC.
Line 147:
City planning was carried out according to the vision of Dossier5; with the city laid out in a grid fashion with 6x6 smoothstone slab roads lit with glowstone lanterns. It is centred around the White House, Eiffel Tower and the Immigration Building, which houses the portal.
 
New residents recivedreceived a free parcel of land (up to 25x25) and additional plots and larger plots could be purchased. This policy attracted many residents.
 
The proceeds from land sales were used to hire manual labor. With cleared land and ever expanding roads the city sustained itself, and continued to grow.
