[[Pavia]] is a maritime nation located in the [[Lyrean Sea]]. It is an elective monarchy headed by the Crown Prince with the support of the Dukes of Pavia. Founded on the first day of the server, it was comprised in the early days of a large number of players from the former [[Gabon|Free Republic of Gabon]], a nation that existed on a earlier civ-server called [[CivClassic]]. Since it's foundation, the nation has since expanded to include many more players and is always looking for new players to join and help the nation grow.

New laws may be established by the passing of a Privy Council Act by the Dukes of Pavia or passed directly by the Crown Prince through a Decree. You can view all the acts and decrees that have been passed in Pavia [[Pavia#Pavian Laws|here]].
== Setting your spawn ==
If you die on this server without having set your spawn (your spawn point can be set by sleeping in a bed), you will spawn in a new random place on the map. So the first thing that should be done when you arrive into Pavia is to set your spawn. A publicly accessible bed is available at '''The Loud Mule Inn and Stable (Coordinates: 1140x, -2883z) .''' The Loud Mule Inn and Stable can be found on the Kingsroad in the Duchy of Bedford, a Duchy administered under the Duke of Bedford, BritishWanderer.

<blockquote>'''Quick fact:''' The ''Kingsroad'' is a major thoroughfare located along the south coast of Pavia. This road is built by Pavia and continues into the neighbouring countries of [[Mery]] and [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]]. Locating this road can be an easy way to find your way back to the City of Pavia. The road is supplemented by the ''Princes Road'' which is a matching road that runs along the north coast of the nation. </blockquote>

=== Building a home in the Bedford Common ===
The Principality of Pavia enforces a strict building code to maintain standards across the nation. As a consequence of this, '''citizens of Pavia can not freely build within the nation''' without the permission of the ''Bureau of Architecture.'' Citizens who have demonstrated a good understanding of the Pavian building style and a high standard for building can obtain this permission.

The birch farm can be located on the Kingsroad just past the Duchy of Lugano at
This farm is accessible to all citizens and takes 48 hours to grow.

== Finding something to do ==
A distinct feature of civ-genre servers is the lack of interaction between server administrators and the community, and the lack of 'forced' gameplay elements. This leaves the player often needing to find their own purpose in the world akin to how a player would play survival Minecraft. The plugins that are available within civ server facilitate and support the creation of nations and communities who can work together to build as well as providing them with the tools required to enforce their own claims and distribute justice when required.
The benefit of such a server model is that there is a vast number of things that a player can do, and players are not forced to commit to any one particular playstyle.
=== Become an Architect ===
Pavia is well-known throughout the map for it's commitment to building a single style city, and the creation of large and detailed builds. Players are not able to build outside of a Commons without express permission from the Pavian Bureau of Architecture. To obtain the permission to build within Pavian Crownland and the City of Pavia, players must first demonstrate their building ability on a creative server hosted by Pavia.
If you believe you are a good builder, or are interested in becoming a better builder - becoming an Architect of Pavia might be a good goal for you. To become an architect, contact [[Gobblin]] on discord or in-game to gain access to the creative where you can demonstrate your building ability. Once approved, you will be able to assist in designing the city and other locations around Pavia.
=== Complete Build Contracts ===
Some builds in Pavia are first designed in creative before being built in-game by other builds, and players are offered payment in return for constructing these builds in-game. This is an extremely lucrative business within the state with schematics often paying out between 20 and 30 diamonds for completion, with all blocks provided by the Pavian Grand Exchange for free.
However, build contracts are in great demand and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To obtain a build contract - keep an eye on the #pavia-schematics channel to accept a build contract when one becomes available.
Non-citizens can gain access to the #pavia-schematics channel and Pavian build contracts by contacting [[Gobblin]].
In order to accept a contract - it is important that the you have installed the [[Litematica]] mod, which will allow you to place and build the design as a blueprint. Lessons on how to use Litematica are offered by asking [[Gobblin|Gobblin.]]
=== Become a Merchant ===
Pavia boasts one of the largest markets available on the server, located on the Main Road in the City of Pavia. This makes it a great place to sell any goods ranging from food and blocks all the way to books and map art.
If you are interested in opening a shop in Pavia - first identify what you will sell and begin stockpiling your product.
Once you are ready to open a shop, contact the Monument Group using the #contact-us channel in the Pavia discord to purchase a property within the city centre
Next, open your shop using the [[Item Exchange]] plugin.
Keep your shop open and expand your product range.
=== Learn to PvP and join the Coast Guard ===
War occasionally takes place on CivMC when diplomacy fails, and PvPers may be required to defend Pavia from it's adversaries. The defence of the state is managed by the Pavian Coast Guard, established early in the history of CivMC during the reign of BritishWanderer I. If you are interested in joining the Coast Guard and learning to fight - contact the Duke of Braemar and First Lord of the Admiralty, Cissonius.
