Icarus (Second Republic): Difference between revisions

In late September, LIQUIDSTEREO returned to [[CivMC]] and revived Sovia under the new name of [[Neo Sovia]]. With the help of a few non-banned Sovians, they managed to successfully transfer ownership and granted Icarians access to their farms and land. During this time, Icarus and it's allies began toying with the idea of a full fledged alliance that would promote economic and military cooperation, and after a bit of brainstorming, the idea of [[NATWO]] was born. Even with the name being a bit of a meme, the alliance itself was completely serious and soon after the participating nations began working to connect each other and grant access to each other's bunkers.

=== Khione ===

In the early days of October, a bill was proposed in Icarian Parliament to annex the territory of [[Myra]] as it had long gone inactive since it's founder [[AvaniSpades]] quit in mid-August that year. However, it turned out to be at the worst possible time, as the exact same day, the neighboring country of [[Imperial Federation]] has also decided to officially annex Myra as a new province of the Federation. A rather large amount of Discord PVP ensued soon after, mainly between the heads of Icarus and the King of the IF, [[King_Cupar]]. Many threats were thrown around including the possibility of war, which almost everyone advised against. However, after a day and a half of bickering, a consensus was made with the signing of the Treaty of Khione which conceded ownership of the island to the Federation, but allowed for an Icarian representative to gain citizenship and act as a governor of the province, that being citizen [[BikMik]]. This conflict is considered to be an isolated blight which had little effect on the eventual friendship that would blossom between the two nations soon after.

=== Constitutional Convention ===

As the fall of 2022 went on, Icarus slowly picked up in activity once more with many build and infrastructure projects officially underway. The construction of defense infrastructure and the New Cove Project™ were primarily headed by Prime Minister zolo17 and President CredixYt, who emphasized scale and mass production of Adv. EXP. However, with this massive expansion in their use of land, the question of a constitution came to be as up until then, there had been no legally binding constitution in place. With this, CredixYt officially called for a constitutional convention and proceeded to form a discord for it, inviting all active Icarians to participate and give their thoughts on the matter. After a month or so of discussion with little agreements being made, the Icarian government also invited [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augustan]] Mayor [[ComradeNick]] to give ideas and help the people properly form a constitution. This convention is still technically underway as of January 20th, 2023 and no consensus has been made yet on a constitution.

=== Incorporation of Neo Sovia ===

In mid December, LIQUIDSTEREO announced that he was giving all Neo Sovian land to Icarus due to inactivity, giving Icarus complete control of Sovian farms and Sovia City. While many of the farms in Sovia ended up being inferior versions of farms Icarus already possessed, the shared Cactus farm in Sovian land was now completely under Icarian control, giving way to an increase in production and size after a small construction project was enacted. This dissolution, along with the dissolution of the [[Hyperborean Confederation]] and [[Vyta]] led to collapse of NATWO in pretty much all ways but officially, as the only remaining nations in the alliance were Icarus, [[Reggio Argeddina]], and the [[United Äggish Kingdom]] which had little activity remaining.
