'''Icenia''', officially the '''Republic of Icenia''', was a Semi-Democratic nation in the [[Geographical Regions|-,-]] of [[CivClassic]]. It was led by President [[ChrisChrispie]]. Icenia is well known for its storied past in the closing months of Civcraft 2.0. In CivClassic, it is a very active nation, with a considerable number of active players. Icenia is bordered by [[Imperial Truidence]] to the east, [[Bloom]] to the north, [[Gabon]] to the west, and [[Varkonia]] in the south. Icenia also holds rightful claim over the [[Nexus|0,0 Nexus]] as per the [[Icenian-Finglish]] summit. Icenia is a cultural hub with a large economy and a large player-base.

Line 37:
In March of 2019, [[ChrisChrispie]] returned to the CivCraft community after 2 years of inactivity and traveled to the (-,-) intent on joining [[Bloom]] and running for Parliament. However, these plans did not pan out and after consulting with [[Varkonia|Varkonian]] leader Mickale, a tract of land over what once was Antietam Isles and the [[Ring of Essence]] was granted to [[ChrisChrispie]] to re-establish Icenia. The re-establishment of Icenia occurred on March 11, 2019.

==Pre-Constitution Era ==
Line 110:
As the population of Icenia exploded in West Isle, tensions arose between the mayoral government of West Isle and the federal government of Icenia, who mostly resided in Icenia City. Many of the issues revolved around the status of Icenia's democratic systems, with West Isle in favor of broader democratization and the government of central Icenia in favor of keeping the system of Federalism put in place in the first Constitution. These tensions climaxed during the September elections, with all incumbents finding their positions highly contested by members of West Isle, most notably Lagiacrus11, the long time Minister of Foreign Affairs.
West Isle candidates ran on platforms of democratization and leaving the UDF, supporting the newly formed [[LSD]], and "repairing international relations with New Sovia, [[Adina (CivClassics)|Adina]], and [[Laconia]]". The incumbent Government supported maintaining the UDF, improving relations with Entente and SATO, and continuing to build defensive infrastructure in the city to combat the threats of Laconia and New Sovia, nations which it had been interested in potentially starting a civil war within Icenia by placing PvPers on West Isle.
While the election was tight, only one incumbent was unseated and the majority of West Isle subsequently quit the server in anger at losing the election and perhaps their best chance at establishing political control within Icenia.
Line 160:
In late March of 2021, Icenia was hit by it's first major attack since the [[War of The Coalition]] when former [[Mir]]<nowiki/>rian fighter Ez2Clutch suddenly went rouge and killed Binchymonkey in the streets of Icenia, stealing his prot. A swarm of Coalition fighters would enter Icenia that first night, including [[ChosenTwice]], who would be given groups to the city skybunker and iceroads. The next day, Chosen would kill Naglafer on the streets of Icenia during a prot deal and join Ez2's raiding crew. Again, more Coalition members poured into Icenia to aid with the defense of the city and overnight traps were constructed, the cities infrastructure was stocked with pots, and repair mats were made open to all fighters.
Fighting in Icenia would be ongoing for nearly two days, with no losses on the Coalition side, but with a loss of one of Ez2's members near the Icenian-IT border at the hands of Slushhi, the former Prime Minister of Bloom and an Icenian citizen. After the loss of this pearl, fighting would shift to outside of West Isle, before moving to the half-disabled Best Western vault. Fighting would continue there for another day before all of the players on Ez2's side would be banned as a result of fighting with individuals such as Vespasian,Parker, and
Chosen would turn himself into Varkonia in late May of 2021, and the status of the other non-VPN accouts remains a mystery.
Line 173:
Further drama included [[Amelorate]]'s sentencing in a crafting table theft case, in which the court wavered in its opinion on the amount of diamond reps Amel would have to pay to LordCheiftain following a breach in his old factory room located just outside the Cringe Pit exclusion zone. This was in large part due to ChrisChrispie's prodding of judge 1drop to reduce diamond reps from over 100 to around 15. This was seen as an egregious violation of the separation between the judges and the office of the President which had been established in July of 2019 via [[Vend3tta]]'s constitutional rewrite. Also included in the controversy was supposed mishandling of evidence on if the armor factories LordCheiftan claimed existed ever did in the first place. Based on the mishandling of evidence, the case was dropped with no punishment for [[Amelorate]].
== Third Constitutional Era (August 2021-
=== Passage of the Third Constitution of Icenia (July-August 2021) ===
Line 190:
FreestyleJr would once again find himself out of government, and Binchymonkey would lose his seat to an up and coming August. Naglafer would be victorious in his run and MrJeremyFarmer would be re-elected as the favorite to his judge seat.
=== September to End of Server ===
After the September Elections, Icenia continued forward in a precarious position diplomatically within it's alliance, the UDF. Tension had broken out particularly between Yoahtl and Columbia over differences in opinion and strategy. Icenia generally speaking tried to tow the line and sat in the middle between these two nations, attempting to mediate disputes through Enforcer15. Icenia would support Yoahtl over the Mount September Ice Road Conflict, but support Columbia in the decision to not get involved on an alliance scale with the ongoing issues in Wayrest with OKX. Near the end of the server, these conflicts would cause Icenia to seek other alliances and there was talk between Icenia and Columbia about creating a new alliance in a similar vein to Entente. This never came to fruition, although Icenia did join the revamped UNC in the waning days of the server. While in the UNC, Icenia would gear itself up for a war looming on the horizon with Kallos over the betrayal of KnotNSA and theories that Yoahtl Vault would be attacked. While Icenian troops were stationed in Varkonia awaiting a potential skybridge there, word came that Civclassics would be ending. In the final days of the server Icenia rushed to complete builds and keep the city safe from grief. Public tours were also given at the Cringe Pit Home for Troubled Youth, Poortea was unbanned and fought in the streets of Icenia, and skirmishes broke out by Cringe Pit with some very "half assed" attempts to break it made. Icenia would leave Civclassic as the predominant economic power on the server outside of Hjaltland and the most populated city on Civclassic.
== Internal Districts of Icenia ==
Line 198 ⟶ 201:
'''The Jewish Quarter'''
The Jewish Quarter (JQ) was one of the most prominent and well designed portions of Icenia City during its early days. It contained the city's primary factory room and housed a vast portion of Icenia's shops and businesses. The district was constructed primarily by [[Figasaur]] and RabbiCroc after receiving a permapearl sentence from [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]] due to [https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/comments/aj4slf/verdict_godomasta_vs_figasaur/ treason]. The Jewish Quarter also contained Icenia's largest synagogue of which, RabbiCroc was the Rabbi of. It was one of the most notable sources of Icenian culture and religion during Icenia's original Channer days. Other prominent features of the Jewish Quarter included the Clock Tower, Wall of Prayers which were both torn down and the Jewish Quarter Apartments, which is one of the only remaining buildings from the region still standing today. The JQ was griefed and eventually destroyed by [[Figasaur]] and the Icenian government, due to [[Figasaur]]'s constant trolling of the town. Today the GOR runs through much of the region that was once the JQ.
'''Bay Loop'''
Line 235 ⟶ 238:
===Nexus (0,0)===
Nexus is an external district in Icenia that serves as a major international rail hub for much of the server. Nexus was formally transferred to Icenia by John Smith aka. [[Stonato]] after the Icenian-Finglish Summit in late April 2019, after a period of abandonment. Icenia maintains a direct connection to Nexus via its 0,0 'rail switch compatible' rail line, which also serves as a major transport artery to +,+ nations such as Caledonia. After the Infinity War, Icenian [[Amelorate]] fully rebuilt the 0,0 railhub, making it rail switch compatible on the Nexus International Gateway rail standard and constructing a new station accessible from the ground without the use of a minecart.
===Tritan Island===
Line 333 ⟶ 336:
After rescinding its application to join the UNC, Icenia opted to attempt to join [[SATO]] due to mutual connections to many of the alliance's previous leadership being associated with nations that [[ChrisChrispie]] had connections with in Civcraft 2.0, notably [[Bgbba]] through Chanada, who was now leading [[Yoahtl]]. SATO was also the only alliance outside of the UNC that was relatively stable in the world at the time, as [[NATO]] was engaged in an ongoing and stalled war with Mir, and joining the [[NCA]] was out of question. SATO was hesitant to admit Icenia given its reputation for being rowdy in server politics and the fact that Figasaur and Cr0codile, members of the JQ, resided in Icenia and were accepted there as members of Icenian society. However, despite these reservations, SATO voted to bring Icenia on as an associate member believing that if the JQ was to be contained, it was best contained in Icenia.
Relations with SATO while in the alliance were lukewarm, while SATO hesitantly supported Icenia during the [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]] extradition crisis, relations began to become frayed as Icenia and [[Bloom]] continued petty spats over Fig and Croc's willingness to rabblerouse in the region and accuse players of antisemitism. This came to a head after the first Icenian debates in late May, 2019 when then-candidate Figasaur accused specificlanguage (managing Mount Augustan voter registration) of various allegations in regards to Fig's time in the Mount Augustan JQ. It was at this time that a mutual agreement was made between Icenia and members of SATO that the alliance was simply not going to work. The loss of Icenian pearls in [[Hjaltland]]'s vault resulting in a resuming of alt-raiding in the city. Despite all of this, Icenia remains close with several SATO nations including [[Vinland]] and [[The Commonwealth]].
Today Icenia is on very good terms with SATO as the majority of SATO nations are now in the UDF.
Line 359 ⟶ 362:
Throughout the tenures of Defense Secretaries SoundTech and Quanton_Biscuit, Icenian military engineers developed an extensive grid of iceroads, a heavily fortified mega vault, several peripheral bunkers, escape routes to iceroads, and pvp traps on the mainland. Additionally, Icenia acquired Bloom's smaller five ring vault, Lagiacrus11 completed a private three ring microvault, and Titan Industries began work on an eight-ring vault at the center of their EXP complex known as Hyperion.
The Cringe Pit Vault is a "large and in charge" mega vault sporting 11 rings plus a trench and is located approximately 800 blocks east of Icenia City. By the end of the server, it was one of the largest and most complete standing vaults, comparable in strength to the Hjaltvault. It boasted a dense, two-layer thick array of sky defenses and a battery of four peripheral skybunkers located on each of the cardinal axis. Additionally, it utilized top secret Coventhian "tall boy technology" to further fortify its rings; the rings resembled castle walls which allowed defenders to fire arrows at any attacking force within the rings. The central skybunker, colloquially named "Big Chungus" was an enormous one chunk wide skybunker with a 24-hour breaktime. The central
In addition to the Cringe Pit, Icenia lay claim to a number of other vaults including the old Bloom Vault, Promethius Vault located in occupied Eddie Murphy, Hyperion Vault (incomplete), Lagivault located in Icenia's Southern Ice Biome, and Tortuga (incomplete) located near Mount September and Laconia. Most of these vaults were five or less rings and weren't designed to hold pearls but rather to act as military bases to safeguard Icenia's various provinces and areas of strategic interest.
In addition to the various vaults, Icenia had several bunkers and bunker complexes located throughout its mainland. The most notable locations are Hyperion, the Space Needle, Quantonimo Bay, Lingyin bunker, and Mr. JermeyFisher's bunker. Asside from the obvious storage abilities, these bunkers provided locations for militia members to fight out of should the mainland ever be attacked.
Paired with these bunkers, Icenia developed an extensive series of iceroads that connected the bulk of the vaults, bunkers, and EXP complexes. Furthermore these iceroads provided safe and fast travel between UDF and UNC nations.

During the Ez2 Raids, Quanton_Biscuit, Lagiacrus11, and Shapha constructed a network of traps and surface to bedrock escape routes that afforded citizens and allied fighters’ safe means of traversing Icenia during wartime. Additionally, the traps increased the risk level of any daytime raid on the mainland.

Icenia amassed a sizeable fighting force due to training efforts made by Lagiacrus11. While many of the fighters were relatively inexperienced, the sheer number of fighters proved to be a deterrent to most raiders. Additionally, Icenia possessed a few Infinity War veterans that gained significant experience during the various battles and campaigns.
▲=== Militia ===
Icenia's military doctrine can best be described as "winning" without "losing". To accomplish this broad goal, Secretary of Defense Quanton_Biscuit and former Secretary of Defense SoundTech deployed a five-sigma dogma outlined in the following tenants:
* Diversity of ideas
* Immersion in stratagems
* Cooperation and coordination
* Knock-out assaults
* Sophistication in infrastructure and design<br />
