'''The Federation of Concordia''' is a sovereign state in the northeast part of the [[Tjikko]] shard.

 

 

Concordia was formed from members of the Civ 2.0 nations [[Commonwealth (2.0)]] and [[Lio]]. During CivTemp, Alexandria, Concordia's only city, was the largest city on the server. Akiyama was Concordia's leader.

Also on August 30, the Concordian Parliament passed a No-confidence vote, removing Quinnel as Prime Minister and triggering a second election. <ref>No-confidence vote. https://www.reddit.com/r/civconcordia/comments/4zri5t/bill_noconfidence_vote/?sort=new</ref> Cupidity, the Speaker of the House, became interim PM while elections were held.

The [[Ulca Felya]]-[[Naunet]] canal, a water-way connecting both portals and Marketside built by [[Libra]], exists at bedrock. It goes along z=0 from the Ulca portal and z=-763 from the Naunet portal with a connection somewhere in the middle.

Technologically, Concordia has an Apprentice Transmuter, Coal Burner, Stone Smelter, Kiln, Reinforcement Factory, and a Basic Forge. It once had had an Ore Smelter, but it was destroyed by Reiko_Mikami.

 

 

Concordia is a parliamentary democracy. It is led by an elected prime minister (PM) and the prime minister's cabinet. The structure of cabinet is up to the prime minister, but it conventionally includes a deputy prime minister, an industry (factory) minister, an agriculture minister, a justice minister, a security minister, and a trade minister. There is no term limits for prime ministers, but the House of Commons can remove the current prime minister by passing a no-confidence vote with a simple majority.

Parliament consists of a single house, the House of Commons, which consists of many Members of Parliament (MPs). (A House of Lords composed of the borough mayors was discussed, but abandoned for lack of need.) Any citizen may become an MP by registering during one of the sign-up periods. (This is to restrict Members of Parliament to only people interested in government, since certain parliamentary procedures require a quorum of MPs or majority of votes.) One Member of Parliament servers as the Speaker, and is charge of moderating Parliament meetings.
