== Early history ==
CivRealms was started on the 18th of May, 2019<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/bq9tya/civrealms_is_now_live/</ref>. The server had the same map and some of the same mechanics from beta upon launch. Over time though significant changes would mean that the server at start barely resembled the server at beta, and the server today barely resembles the server at start.
=== First Civilizations ===
An anthropological history of the early civilisations of CivRealms faces some serious difficulties. Firstly, some of the most powerful nations were active on the discord and in-game, but did not seriously devote to a subreddit presence, meaning that evidence of their existence is limited. On the other hand, many of the civilisations that strove to leave their mark on the world in this period posted to the subreddit but were often merely one-man nations unable to seriously influence events.
The earliest record of territorial claims mentions the civilisations of [[National Tenochtitlan|Tenochtitlan]], Zimbabwe and Rob's Tribe<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/btrnn8/world_claims_52719/</ref
>. Note that Rob's Tribe is not associated with RobBM, a common mistake. Of these states, Zimbabwe and Rob's Tribe have passed into the mists of history, while Tenochtitlan lived on as [[Bobanga]] and the city of [[Tenochtitlan]] for quite some time. Bobanga and Tenochtitlan later would become Harambe Land under the new rule of Alexandria and the A.N.U.Z.
Much of the early history of the server was dedicated to the acquisition of bronze, a necessary ingredient in stepping up the tech-tree, and wool, which could not reliably be farmed due to a lack of knowledge of efficient farming methods. Southern and northern nations such as Tenochtitlan and Carbon began trading copper and tin<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/btsdmr/tenochtitlan_is_buying_tin/</ref>, while there was also significant debate over the best means of mining<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/bv2g0l/which_do_you_prefer_quarries_or_mine_shafts_why/</ref>. Many of the techniques developed in this period are continued even today, despite the proliferation of enchanted mithril tools.
[[Norlund]] was one of the states founded in this early period<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ch058r/the_constitution_of_norlund/</ref>, as was [[Wheatistan]].
The rise of multiple states in this period saw the rise of the [[Inca]], one of the first military groups on the server. In this period wars were fought with leather and iron armour, and Carbon was seen as highly advanced due to equipping their soldiers with steel armour. The [[Inca Wars]] were a period of wars between the Inca, Varathia, Tenochtitlan, Carbon and other peoples and states throughout much of this early period. Eventually the Inca would be defeated, and the Inca today no longer remain.
New states began to spring up such as [[Amaryllis]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/cu5a9m/this_is_amaryllis_you_are_welcome_to_stop_by_you/</ref>, and Carbon and Varathia finally actually made their claims public<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/cvwh8o/varathian_claims_everyone_is_welcome_so_long_as/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/d0j919/the_kingdom_of_carbons_claims/</ref>.
A number of long-standing nations were founded such as [[New Jersey]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/d218sl/the_jersey_cows_of_new_jersey/</ref> and Conqui, but did not make it to the present day.
== Pre Ez2War<!-- I was thinking this should describe the period between alexandrias independence and the ez2war. I think we should get a better name for this period than just "Pre Ez2War" --> ==
Line 16 ⟶ 28:
==== Alexandrian Independence ====
During the Brewer's Guild Revolution in Varathia, it was decided by the coup leaders to not pearl Emperor Aresot but to instead peacefully move to the eastern coasts desert to form Alexandria. Alexandria am be independent now.
==== Founding of Civcorp ====
MCSPenguin during this time was also busy laying the groundwork for the servers future economic hub, CivCorp. This would be done to the north of Varathia, in land that was formerly part of the small nation of Trinacria. <br />

==== Founding of Bobanga ====
Teno is dead, long live bobanga<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/eeyf7d/national_tenochtitlan_is_dissolved_bobanga_rises/</ref>
==== Anvardian-Bobangan War <!-- Alternatively, the Anvard War of Independence? idk --> ====
Line 27 ⟶ 39:
==== Founding of Accelerada ====
Before the Ez2War, Accelerada was a nation originally named the Free Economic Zone of Accelerada (renamed as the People's Republic of Accelerada), is a nation that seemingly exists from a combination of their member's varying skillsets, and their neighbors generosity, namely Varathian Emperor Aresot. It's noted that Accelerada is one of the smaller nations within the map, and despite being given permission to use a Varathian AN and bought some Agotepean land, is still among the tiniest nations in the server, and likely the smallest within the map.

=== West coast ===<!-- I need someone more knowlegable about the west coast to help me make this part of the article. Remember, we're defining the pre Ez2War period as everything from the Independence of Alexandria to the outbreak of the Ez2War. I've also decided to keep ez2-related things like the molokan coalition and the unitas dispute in the Ez2War part of the article, just because that improves the general flow of the page. -->
Line 36 ⟶ 50:
==== Founding of the IWW ====

On January 28th, 2020, the former [[Anvard|Kingdom of Anvard]] joined the IWW, becoming the [[Anvard|Free Republic of Anvard]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/evcuk8/hereby_declaring_the_free_republic_of_anvard/</ref> <!-- I know that Anvard isn't on Napistan, but I decided to keep it in the part about the Founding of the IWW, since Anvard joining the IWW is part of the greater story of the formation of the IWW. This decision is best for the overall flow of the article IMO, since otherwise you'd be reading about Anvard joining the IWW before you'd even read about the founding of the IWW. Feel free to discuss further or suggest any other ideas for where on the page we should put Anvards entry into the IWW. -->

=== South-Western Region <!-- Its kinda hard to define this area, since it doesnt really fit into the normal east/west coast dichotomy. Im basically including Yamato, miletos, tribalfolk and nowhere in this category. If anyone can come up with a better name for this region, please tell me. --> ===
Line 49 ⟶ 66:
==== The Carbon Island Purchase ====
That one time carbon sold an island to yamato (this might be moved to yamatos page idk. we could also have a short version of it here and then a longer version on the yamato page)
=== Northern Region ===
==== Norlund ====
One of the original nations of CivRealms, Norlund grew slowly, but surely, expanding further around their territory, and despite being precariously located next to several pvper nations/empires, still somehow managed to continue existing. It's King, King Terry the III, helped found the nation, and worked tirelessly on the nation, expanding it to it's peak claims, and working closely with many nations, most specifically Carbon. Of note, just before the Ez2War, Norlund experienced it's only rebellion, the Tallumh Rebellion, which was swiftly crushed by the King's forces.

== The Ez2War<!-- Since this is the first conflict on the server that isn't just a regional war, I decided to treat it like the first world war of the server. This is not intended to be a full article about the Ez2War, and I will provide a link to the actual full Ez2War page, which will be written soon (TM) --> ==
Line 56 ⟶ 80:
=== Background ===
The Ez2War was fought between the members of the [[Fight or Die Coalition]] and the [[Ez2Crew]]. The war was a result of tensions that had been rising since the day the Ez2Crew joined the server.
==== Ez2Raid on Bobanga ====
On the 5th of January, players from the [[Ez2Crew]] joined the server asking to join a country. They were invited to Bobanga, and given some basic tools, weapons and food. Within the first twenty minutes of joining they had raided the storehouse and killed the cows of Dar al-Vexler. When this crime was discovered, a bounty was put on their head by Bobanga publicly. They began to head north, but returned to Bobanga to fight DarkyDu. One Ez2 fighter was killed, but the remaining two killed DarkyDu, who respawned and waited for reinforcements from Alexandria before pressing on them, when they fled. After tripping snitches throughout the south-central belt, they were pearled one by one, and Ez2Clutch and ThePayman were transferred to Bobangan prisons. Ez2Kill was pearled by Moloka but later released.
After the pearling of the Ez2Crew, international pressure forced Bobanga to release them again, with [[Convoy]] of [[Carbon]] guaranteeing that they would not strike Bobanga again, and reparations being paid.
==== Construction of the Ez2Vault ====
Line 86 ⟶ 113:
== Age of Migration ==
The Age of Migration is the period that followed shortly after the Ez2War. It was marked by a great influx of new players coming in two waves. The first wave was started by a series of reddit posts that reached the top of the r/imaginarymaps subreddit. These posts brought many newfriends to the server, helping bring the server back from the low player numbers it had had in the immediate aftermath of the Ez2War. As the servers player numbers grew, many people from the CivClassics server decided to give
