CivrealmsCivRealms is a Minecraft server in the Civ genre thatwhose latest iteration (CivRealms 2.0) was started on May 19th, 2019.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/bq9tya/civrealms_is_now_live/</ref> The server has a rich political landscape and has, throught its year-long history, already had its fair share of notable historical events. This page aims to provide a general overview of the history of the server. <!-- I just wanna say that everyone writing on this page (including me) should aim to write as neutrally as possible. I have strong opinions about some of these events, but will try my best to retell them without showing any bias one way or the other. Even so, it is almost impossible to be 100% objective on these things, so I ask anyone editing this to try their best, and to help discuss and constructively criticize whenever they believe someone else could be more objective. --><!-- Additionally, people editing this page should consider that the goal of the page is to provide one big, easily readable, story of the server. That's why I've decided to not make it just a chronological timeline, but instead separated it into different regions, and then tell the chronoligcalchronological timeline of events within those regions. -->
 
== Beta ==
Before the current iteration of Civrealms[[CivRealms 2.0]], there was an open beta of the server, that lasted from __ to __.
 
== Early history ==
CivrealmsCivRealms 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 ===
Line 11:
 
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 liveslived 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.

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 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.
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 />
<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>
Line 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.
Write a bit about it here and do a link to the main article about it on the accelerada page

=== 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 48 ⟶ 50:
 
==== Founding of the IWW ====
[[File:IWW map IV.png|thumb|500px|A map of the IWW, showing the borders between the communes and all of the settlements.]]
''Main article: [[Industrial Workers of the World]]''
 
On January 24th, 2020, RainOfPain123 announced the founding of the [[Industrial Workers of the World]], also known as the IWW, came to be.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/et45rk/hereby_declaring_the_industrial_workers_of_the/</ref> The goal of the IWW was to serve as an organization of different leftist countries and cities. RainOfPain123 posted many ads on different anarchist subreddits on Reddit, resulting in a huge influx of new players, which quickly made the IWW one of the more populated areas of the world, despite its location on the barren continent of Napistan.
 
The first communes were [[Tolstoy]] and [[Vescau]], which were founded on __ and __ respectively.<ref>[Citation needed]</ref> Many new members followed shortly after, although not all of them stood the test of time. On January 20th 2020, Narwhal_19 and Orcishtimmy founded [[Bremerhaven]] on the east coast of Napistan. Bremerhaven was originally a part of the [[Vescau|Commune of Vescau]], but became independent when Vescau collapsed and turned into the [[Exarchos|Commune of Exarchos]]. Bremerhaven re-joined the IWW shortly thereafter and quickly grew to be one of the largest communes in the IWW.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/esl4qe/declaring_the_free_commune_of_bremerhaven/</ref>
Line 64 ⟶ 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 104 ⟶ 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 CivrealmsCivRealms a try, which created a second wave of new players.
 
=== East Coast ===
Line 117 ⟶ 126:
