=History=
==Foundation and
The kingdom of Hjaltland was founded on the 1st of June, 2017, the first day of CivClassic, by the remnants of Civcraft: Worlds' Falstadt and numerous established players from Civcraft 2.0 and before. Led by BlueSylvaer, the nation quickly built up its farms, aiming to become an economic power far from the drama of newfriend nations. As conflict brewed over the next months, the nation was forced to focus heavily on defense, ramping up experience production until the apparatus had become a well-oiled machine.

===Animal Farm===
During the first month of the server, Hjaltland found itself settled in close proximity to a factions group called "Animal Farm." With no provocation, they launched assaults on the city's fledgling wheat farm and city bunker, although both brought little gain. In a retaliatory strike, THE Lil_Wayne (Thoths) led a force that managed to capture a high-ranking member of AF, resulting in repeated strikes against the city's vault (which was built as a result of this conflict). Hjaltland sought a quick peace, as the pearls held had attracted the attention of Lexington. Sintralin soon threatened force against Hjaltland, but a consequent attempt to broker peace by means of Animal Farm's relocation broke down. After another week of conflict the group, defeated, dispersed, its active remnants moving to Lexington. [[File:Government Communique 7-11-17.png|thumb|Blue confirms his suspicions ]]
===Nudist Beach===
Hjaltland fighters took part in the defense of Commonwealth against repeated attacks by the alt-raiding group known as Nudist Beach, a group later found to be made up by Impulca, xxDovahkiinxx, GeneralThomas4, PSN, daeshik, and other established players. As their house of cards collapsed, an attempt was made to [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6qtsmh/hjaltlands_official_statement_on_the_raiders/ falsely implicate Hjaltland].

Again, this nearly precipitated deadly force by Lexington on Hjaltland, but again BlueSylvaer's alpha comportment protected the nation's innocent civilian population. The aftermath of this incident led the Council of Ministers to rapidly increase federal military funding.
===Minor Pre-War Actions===
▲[[File:Collaboration.png|thumb|Sintralin was very obviously involved in the Laconian alt-raiding, and had an active alliance with them throughout. ]]
The Laconian splinter faction in early Yoahtl attempted to seize control of the town, but was quickly found out after alt-raiding (on the accounts FartHarder, Masturbacon__, and OsamaBinPearlin). Thoths and Motown, among other Hjaltchads, mounted long overland journeys to defend the town, although Yoahtl ended up relocating regardless. Throughout the conflict, Hjaltland's government supported Yoahtl economically and with valuable intelligence, but multiple members of (overly-trusting) Yoahtlan leadership leaked the information to the very alt-raiders Hjaltland warned against. This precipitated the first major diplomatic squabble of the nation's history, which ended with the severance of all ties with Yoahtl, an alliance that would not be repaired until the Spring of 2018.

===== Declaration of War =====
On October 9th, 2017, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/755nes/lexington_declares_war_on_hjaltland_commonwealth/ Lexington declared war on Hjaltland and Commonwealth], the other top powers on the server and the primary force behind the Western Alliance. Citing the bunker that CW tore down (due to multiple instances of Lexington-affiliated raiders' using it as a safe spot) as well as TangentialThreat's cyberattack on her bots, they began the war by dumping a significant amount of reinforced obsidian onto Westminster. This "tactical griefing" has been called the single greatest instance of reinforced griefing in Civ-server history, perhaps beside Sintralin's DRO bomb of Aurora in Civcraft 2.0. Although the action was reversed due to Lexington leadership's dishonesty with the server administration, the attack set the tone for the war to come, one of few limitations inside and outside the game alike. Hjaltland launched an immediate assault that disabled Lexington's end portal fortification, a crucial installation.
BlueSylvaer, in his response, identified the Lexington threat and their vassals in Anguish as the natural resurgence of <u>Nox</u>, and indicated his intent to wage an unrelenting war against this stateless raider threat. Hjaltland's people do not consider the event a war because the war was just so damn easy, nor has their government recognized the vaults formerly known as Lexington and Anguish.
===== Defense of Westminster =====
Most of the war's early fighting took place around the Commonwealth, with few victories for Nox. The Western Alliance moved a great deal of resources to The Iron Bank, Hexcorp's small vault northwest of Westminster, and used it as a forward operating base. While hostile parties often walked the streets, few citizens were careless enough to get pearled.
A few half-hearted attacks on the vault ended with multiple members of Nox pearled, and a final strike on their forward bunker pushed their forces out of the Commonwealth for just about the duration of the conflict.
===== Assault on Lexington City =====
On October 17th, 2018, an Alliance force built an attack tunnel at bedrock into the heart of Lexington, precipitating the first pitched battle. While most of the bunkers there were disabled and their bastions broken, only one Nox fighter was pearled. Meanwhile, two Alliance fighters were pearled after both were shot by roboninja77 with a Punch II bow into a trap. God-King Gregy never forgot this affront.

=Economy=
The primary produce of Hjaltland has always been Experience. The Hjaltvault has long been considered the greatest concentration of wealth on the server, and indeed has the nation been successful in its business both before and after the road. They have had considerable competitive advantages, from their early megafarms to their skilled botters. These, along with hardworking grinders, made Hjaltland one of the largest economies very early in the server's life. This grew exponentially during the Nox Police Action, and the state remained quite wealthy even as it bankrolled the vast majority of the conflict.
The grand opening of the state's exchange program, Hjaltland Industries (HJI) occurred on
