'''Icarus''', officially the '''2nd Icarian Republic''', is a direct successor to the short-lived [[CivRev]] nation of [[Icarus (First Republic)|Icarus]]. It is located on the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Western Continent|Western Continent]].

On June 6th, 2022, Icarus joined in the planning of a joint raid on the nation of [[Blockchainistan]] with the nations of [[Kingdom of ErrorL]] and [[境界の西部共和国]] for the sole purpose of getting players Abbyshapiro and TrustThePlan to log on so they could be pearled. This is because both players had raided Icarus days prior, destroying all their factories and taking most of their stuff. However, they never ended up logging on, making their official involvement in the [[Western Jungle War]] pointless and caused them to face heavy backlash from their allies in [[COMRADES]]. This conflict is what ultimately led Icarus to leaving COMRADES for good. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v7aepn/a_declaration_of_war_on_blockchainistan/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v7fih3/end_of_the_war_between_the_coalition_and/</ref>

On June 23rd, Icarian Parliament member [[Grumpywalnut96]] resigned from leadership after it was discovered he had planted an estimated 20+ snitches in the neighboring nation of [[Cordoba]] without their permission, claiming that it was to help catch and detain raiders trying to flee from Icarus. Soon after this situation was brought to light, Icarian officials quickly arrived in Cordoban land to dig up the snitches and promptly apologized for the actions of Grumpy. It did not help that this also coincided with a 8d bounty on Grumpywalnut96 posted by the nation of [[Bing Chilling]] on the very same day for killing a single sheep within their borders. However, the bounty conflict would be resolved with help from representatives in [[Arsenio Pact]] acting as

On June 27th, Icarus officially announced they were moving across the map and giving their old claim to [[Grumpywalnut96]]. This was for better biome variety and to be closer to their allies, which was a big concern at SOTW. The transition would take over a week and threw Icarus into a nation-wide inactivity endemic, which lasted for a number of weeks.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vmdvmp/sorry_jmqn_its_moving_day_icarus_is_moving/</ref>

After over a month of building up the nation, on August 1st, previous raider Abbyshapiro appeared in the new Icarus claims and proceeded to raid the nation wide storehouse which was under construction at the time. Icarians [[Glerk]] and [[6114]] logged on and chased off Abby, but by then the storehouse had been completely raided, causing for a post to be made by Glerk on the subreddit detailing the damage and getting support from the nation of [[Valyria (CivMC)|Valyria]]. The next day on August 2nd, Abbyshapiro returned and greifed the memorial to [[LIQUID STEREO]]'s deceased girlfriend [[LivingFungi]] and to Atlas, Icarus' city in their old land which was greifed by rogue Cordobans. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/we21b3/abby_shapiro_strikes_again_raids_icarus_storehouse/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/weviat/abbyshapiro_hit_icarus_a_second_time_tonight/</ref>
Late into the night of August 10th, infamous raider [[Vah]] showed up at the skybunker in Icarus demanding groups to it so he could "collect what was owed to him", this is because according to Vah, Icarian official [[zolo17]] had stolen from him when he was running [[Fellowship]]. After being denied, he proceeded to murder both LIQUIDSTEREO and Glerk, eventually spawn camping LIQUIDSTEREO and proceeding to pearl him. After calling for help, 4 members of [[境界の西部共和国]] logged on and proceeded to engage Vah in Blue Cove, the capital of Icarus. Both [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] and [[Spoonce]] from Western Boundary ended up pearled as well. However [[Aetherix]] managed to free not only them but LIQUIDSTEREO as well soon after. Vah had escaped yet again unfortunately, and discomfort was widespread across Icarus.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
The following day on August 11th, LIQUIDSTEREO announced he was resigning as Prime Minister. He cited the events of the night prior as a contributing factor, but also said he just generally hadn't enjoyed logging on Civ for awhile and considered it a chore. He told Icarians that his break could range from "a few weeks to a few years" and that time would only tell.
===
After LIQUIDSTEREO stepped down, the nation remained relatively the same; quiet, but active and slowly expanding. At this point Icarus was also granted access to the farms in their ally [[Sovia (CivMC)|Sovia]]'s land, this allowed for more variety in food and exp production. However on September 17th, a blanket ban was carried out by the CivMC admins which included the leader of Sovia, [[Pirater]], for associating with [[Rhode Island]]. He requested the ownership of Sovia groups be given to Credix or Liquid so they could continue using the farms and could keep the infrastructure from decaying. This request was denied by the admins, thus dooming the infrastructure in Sovia to eventually completely decay within a few months. This did not deter Icarian spirit though, as they continued to build their skybunker and eventually completed easy access tunnels to and from Sovia.
===
In late September, LIQUIDSTEREO returned to Civ 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.

Icarus is a country full of jungles and rivers. From west to east the country begins at the western world border and ends in old [[Mercurial Market States|Mercurian]] territory were a narrow strip of land touches the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Karydian Sea]]. From North to south the country begins in the northern jungles at the border with [[Neo Sovia]] and ends in the south at it's border with the [[境界の西部共和国|Western Boundary]], a part of the [[Imperial Federation]]. The Country lies in the middle of the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)|Karydian continent]] and borders the [[Imperial Federation]] and [[Valyria (CivMC)|Valyria]] to the south and [[Neo Sovia]] to the north.

Icarus was founded on [[CivRev]] as a parliamentary republic. Elections for the 5 seats of parliament were held every 3 months. Once an election concluded, parliament was tasked with appointing a prime minister and a president through a vote of no confidence. The prime minister's responsibilities included running the day-to-day operations of the country and conducting diplomacy, whereas the president served a mostly ceremonial role.
On April 12th, 2022 it was announced that Icarus would move towards becoming a semi-presidential republic. The president, now directly elected by the citizens, was given the authority to dissolve the parliament and represent the country during treaty and alliance negotiations. The powers of the commander of the army were also handed over to the president.
===
On April 14th, 2022 a national referendum was held, in which Icarians unanimously voted in favor of electing a temporary government that would oversee the transition to [[CivMC]]. In the presidential election [[IceBoy Board]] narrowly beat [[CredixYt]] with a margin of a single vote. Later that week Parliament voted to appoint [[LIQUID STEREO]] as prime minister of the new transitional government.
