Grainview was founded on December 11, 2021 by Thejmqn as a farming colony for Fortuna. ItThe capital was originally going to be builtfounded at -1200, -333133, but it was moved to -1333, -33 when it was discovered there was more spaceland aton the other side of the bayGrainview Bay. OnAt first, Grainview relied completely on Fortuna as the only resident was Thejmqn. However, on December 12, a large farm was made which became one of the server's biggest wheat farms.

Also on the 18th, Grainview suffered a setback when an unknown player on the alt "whatislife" raided Grainview and killed multiple Grainview citizens. The Fortuna military was called in, but they were unable to catch the raider.
 
Grainview quickly rebuilt from the raid and continued expanding the main city. Farming colonies were also established at this time to allow for independent Grainview XP production. The most notable of these was Iceland, located in the desert near [[Icarus]] used to farm cactus. All other crops, excluding nether wart, were farmed in the main Grainview farms. Grainview continued to be reliant on Fortuna until the 25th of December when Fortuna proper was attacked by the nation of [[Savaguard (CivRev)|Savaguard]]. Grainview remained untouched by these raids and gained ''de facto'' independence. Grainview allied itself with the other major Fortuna vassal of [[Hurtsey]] for protection and assisted Hurtsey on the 28th of December by helping pearl a Hurtsian political dissident. To celebrate the pearling, a party was held in Grainview where fights occured in the traditional fighting pit. On the 31st of December, Fortuna officially dissolved and Grainview gained ''de jure'' independence, but also at this time CivRev lost activity due to disagreements with the administration. Most Grainview citizens also stopped playing because of this incident and the nation is currently dormant.
