▲Columbia is the largest city on the Civcraft server and was once the capital city of the Republic of Columbia. 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.

== History of Columbia ==
Line 91 ⟶ 49:
=== The Early Days ===
 
Without the proper tools to stop griefers many cities existed in secret and did not advertise their coordinates. Dossier5 however sought to promote Columbia as a land of opportunity open to all; opening the city to the public and welcoming new waves of immigrants and refugees from [[Cresemopolis]] and the [[Rift]] into the city. This brought with it great waves of griefing, which brought the community together out of necessity and greatly evolved the Columbians' style of building.
 
One of the first landmarks of the city was the Eiffel Tower (built by Dossier5) around which the city is centered. The purpose behind the creation of the tower was its role as an attraction to the city for visitors and residents, as well as a symbol of industry to those who would visit. From the Tower the city expanded outward in all directions and remains there today. An interesting fact of Columbia, is that [[bobpndrgn]] originally built his house on the eiffleEiffel towerTower plot, soon thereafter Dossier yelled at bob in game and told him to move his house. He moved it over one plot to the left. He built it proudly with all the colors of wood.
 
=== The Founding Fathers ===
Line 101 ⟶ 59:
As the city's population grew to around a dozen the rules which had only been passed down by oral tradition needed to be codified. Dossier5's gave his power over to a Transitional Council which was made up of what we know today as the Founding Fathers.
 
These founders included [[Foofed]], [[rdhayes06]], [[mrgagetron]], [[Denieru]], [[Timmy]], and [[bobpndrgn]]. The founders organized the city's rules that existed at the time and began preparation for a constitutional convention and democratic elections.
 
=== The First Conflict ===
Line 107 ⟶ 65:
At the time Columbia was not yet a republic and was by some seen as a griefer haven, because it did not enter into entangling alliances with other cities.
 
During this period a resident named [[Antrolf]], who came with Denieru to the city, founded a small settlement inside of Columbia called New Pyongyang. At one point soon after Foofed refused to leave [[New Pyongyang]] and was hit by Antrolf. Foofed thought that it was Denieru who did this and proceeded to repeteadelyrepeatedly kill Denieru and Antrolf, while rdhayes06 removed Denieru's bed (in an attempt to get them out of the city). Later, Denieru and Antrolf didn't want Foofed's and rdhayes06's actions to go unpunished. So they broke into rdhayes06's shop where Denieru and Antrolf and took their revenge. After this incident Denieru and Antrolf proceeded to build a mosque out of dirt on a new plot. Foofed, [[Stevo_1066]], and mrgagetron destroyed the mosque because it was viewed as a troll. Denieru and Antrolf fled the city and were later declared griefers. Denieru later had his label as &quot;griefer&quot; withdrawn by rdhayes06 (then president of Columbia) after agreeing upon removing the remains of his house (which stood where the courthouse stands today). Denieru was, and is still, not allowed to visit Columbia.
 
=== Griefers, bounty hunters and haters ===
 
The city was regularly the target of griefers, the most notable being [[Gatzy]], [[Greatwolf]], and [[neonxp]]. They tested the will of the young city through their use of placing diamond reinforced obsidian and lava bombing the Eiffel Tower and many buildings surrounding the city centre.
 
The Republic of Columbia took a Switzerland like approach to all outside conflict and the with appearance of bounty hunters in the city to collect the fortitude of the settlers was tested.
 
Columbians opposed outside interference in their peaceful way of life. This was evident through the initiation of force by [[egokick]] in his pursuit of [[MineCraftIsFTW]] and [[Joshua97367]]. In this action, egokick slew Dossier5 and [[Marcus_Flaminius]] before fleeing the city with his bounty in order to escape justice. To add insult to injury, egokick requested that the city pay the reparations of griefers who had passed through Columbia; a request that was flatly rejected.
 
The refusal of visitors to follow the law drew disgust from the settlers. This disregard for the laws became quite clear during the capture and trial of [[Kraken (Player)|Kraken]], who refused to respect the law of the Republic within its territory and midway through the trial attempted to flee and escape through the nether portal.
 
Disappointed at the failure of their ancap cities such as Cresemopolis and The [[Rift]], numerous ancaps schemed to test the residents of Columbia.
Line 123 ⟶ 81:
=== Rapture ===
 
As the population of Columbia grew, the increased crowding was managed by creating a secondary city of Columbia, [[cities/rapture|Rapture]]. It was settled across the sea to the East of Columbia within her teritorialterritorial claims. While waiting for more pioneers to join the group in the settling of the city on April the 7th, \Dossier5 grew impatient and declared &quot;Fuck this, we're doing it live&quot;.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/RjP8Q</ref> With that, the party of pioneers gathered their materials, fashioning boats before setting out directly across the open sea to the opposite shore. With that, the settlers cleared the land and began to construct basic roads.
 
=== The Golden Age ===
Line 130 ⟶ 88:
 
What happened next was the greatest period of for any city in the history of Civcraft.

The first election led to the landslide victory of rdhayes06 as the first president of the republic. Under the leadership of rdhayesrdhayes06 the city expanded rapidly and the population grew to the largest of any city the servedserver hashad seen to date. At its height Columbia was home to over 200 civcraftians spread over 340 individual plots within the city limits.▼

Markets began to emerge such as the Redstone Market, the Secret Shop, the wool market, banks, smoothstone industry and so on.

Companies such as the Redstone institute were created and worked to further the technological progress of Columbia by constructing automated street lighting. A theatre was built on the waterfront in order to establish a centre for the arts in the city.

▲== 7. 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 initate violence upon them and restrained using violence as a means of solving this conflict; seeking to peacefully accomodate 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 185 ⟶ 139:
Many citizens evacuated the city in protest against the forceful dissolution of the government. With the exodus and collapse of Columbia ended a golden era in the history of civcraft.
 
== 9.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, CPMA and Leningrad formed a socialist republic within days.
