Greater Duskwood was a Lambatan Special Administrative Region formed in August 2021. It consisted of the islands of Isla Occidental, Vesteria, Tarragona, Nij, and Mount Golgotha. Greater Duskwood is the result of the merger of the Socialist Commune of Islands into the Republic of Lambat.

After the closure of CivClassic 2.0, Greater Duskwood was granted independence and became its own nation in CivMC.

History

Pre-SCI History

The first known country to claim the region that came to be known as Greater Duskwood was known as the Empire of Tarragona, a city-state that occupied the area for some time before being absorbed into Nyasaland and later came into the possession of Appomattox, under whose rule it first came to be known as Duskwood.

With the collapse of Appomattox the area was abandoned until found by 4pocalypse4risen.

Socialist Commune of Islands

The Socialist Commune of Islands was a short-lived nation state, founded by 4pocalypse4risen on the 7th of August, 2021. It comprised most of the territories of what became the Greater Duskwood SAR, with the exception of Isla Occidental. The SCI existed only for nine days, making it one of the shortest-lived nations on civ. During the nine days it was operational, the SCI allied itself with the newfriend nation of Mauritanië, and sold off the island of Shrek's swamp to Capeland for the price of 15 diamonds, which still haven't been paid. The SCI did however keep a small foothold on the island.

Uniting with Lambat

Reasonably shortly after the founding of the SCI, 4pocalypse4risen realised she could most likely not rule an entire nation alone while having it be succesful. She therefore started unififcation talks with Lambat and a deal was reached in a few days. The SCI would be dissolved, and its territory would be incorporated into Lambat as the Special Administrative Region of Greater Duskwood, which would include the lands of the former SCI and Isla Occidental. 4pocalypse4risen would stay as its Governor.

Expansion of the city of Tarragona

Tarragona was the capital of the SCI, and would continue serving as the capital of Greater Duskwood. It, however, was heavily underbuilt and abandoned after being founded in 2017, with several heavily decayed reinforcements protecting a few remaining buildings. One of these houses was proclaimed the Governors' palace. During this time, two more people joined Greater Duskwood, among them AppleRadiation, who started plans to build various structures in Tarragona. The first building finished by her was a small observatory on the edge of Rooftop to serve as her and 4pocalype4risen's private residence. Shortly after, she started work on the Houses of Assembly of Greater Duskwood, which would serve as the headquarters of the Duskan local administration. The train station was also finished, which was hooked up to the KANI rail system to make Tarragona easier to reach.

Government

Greater Duskwood was a Special Administrative Region of Lambat, and therefore the leading figure's position is the Governor. 4pocalypse4risen was inaugurated as the first Governor with the incorporation of the SCI into Lambat, and while a constitution was completed to allow for democratic elections to the office, no such elections took place prior to the end of the world.
