Icenia traces its roots back to [[Civcraft 2.0]] as an outpost of Kaiserinreich. At the time of Icenia's founding as a colony, [[Kaiserinreich]] was involved in a conflict with [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]] and [[Volterra]] over valuable land needed for the production of [[Enchanting|EXP]]. After a successful invasion by joint SPQR-Volterran forces over the establishment of a city in SPQR land, the colony of Icenia was established on the Kaiserinreich-Volterra border in an effort to legitimize Kaiserin's claim. However, Icenia grew quickly and became culturally independent of Kaiserinreich. Eventually the majority of the players within Kaiserinreich lived in Icenia rather than the capitol, Kaiserin City. Due to the distance between Kaiserin City and Icenia and the lack of a strong ruler in Kaiserinreich, Icenians began to reject Kaiserin rule. As a result, on July 8th, 2015 Icenia declared independence from Kaiserinreich and joined the Grand Northern Alliance. After this, Icenia experienced a population boom which it could not handle, and eventually suffered from its overall lack of infrastructure leading to its annexation by Volterra after several obby and firebombing attacks committed by alt accounts from Icenia's own alliance, the GNA.

'''Icenia City'''


Icenia City is a sprawling urban center that is the capital of the Republic of Icenia. With a population of approximately 20 active players, Icenia City is one of the most populated and active cities on Civclassic. The city does not conform to the standard "city block" meta that is common to Civcraft and instead utilizes a more organic planning methodology similar to those used in cities on the American East Coast. Icenia City is divided in to several smaller districts or neighborhoods that each contain a unique building style or theme. The most well known areas include The Jewish Quarter (JQ) which has since been demolished and replaced, Oak Row, Ram Ranch, Mansion Row, and Pink Sheep Circle. Icenia City also houses the primary rail station in Icenia that has international rail lines to the [[Zero Zero]] (Nexus), Bloom, [[Varkonia]] ([[Gabon]]), [[Imperial Trudence]], [[Vinland]], and [[Gensokyo]]. The rail station also contains on its upper floor the GOR, which runs to Yoahtl. Furthermore, Icenia's rail station has a vast network of domestic lines that allow citizens and visitors to quickly traverse the nation.

Relations began to sour after breaches of trust between the government of Icenia and Sovians. After the attack on [[Nyasaland]], the government of Icenia cracked down on TNT stashes carried into the nation after it was discovered that AngryPepsi had compacted incredible amounts on the explosive and had stored it within Icenian territory. The UNC was also given the authority to pearl anyone involved in the Nyasaland bombing not yet captured even if they were residing in Icenia. Later, [[ChrisChrispie]] was accused of stealing diamond blocks from [[Pirater]] which were being used to help build New Sovia. When presented with evidence, [[ChrisChrispie]] gave the blocks back. However, this would permanently damage relations between the two groups.

Relations collapsed in mid June of 2019, when Swiftfizz and many other New Sovians entered Icenian territory and entered restricted land, later spamming the coordinates of this area in the in-game global group chat, Civclassic discord, and Civclassic subreddit. This resulted in SwiftFizz's banning from Icenia under the newly passed 'Reasonable Suspicion Act'. Days later, a player by the name of mugo would be pearled in New Sovia for carrying TNT on his person. This player would later be revealed to be an alt account of LordChieftain. A few days later the conflict heated up into what is known as the '[[Clown Wars]]'. The Clown Wars would last for a week with two Icenians being pearled and relations with Entente and Corvus dropping due to violence on the streets of Icenia between individuals from both nations. Eventually, a white peace was signed and the Clown Wars would end. Eventually Pirater would be pearled by Entente during the Laconia-Entente conflict.

Icenia was part of the GNA during Civcraft 2.0, and with the UNC being a spiritual successor during CivClassic, as well as neighbors [[Bloom]] and [[Varkonia]] maintaining member status, it was only natural for Icenia to join. The UNC gave early support to the establishment of Icenia in Civclassic, with Varkonia contributing city bastions and materials for basic factories. Bloom also paid early attention to Icenia, and even requested that Icenia join Bloom as a separate city within their nation.

However, early on relations with UNC nations began to fray. First, LordChieftain was pearled by then-[[UNC]] member Swiftfizz and brought to the Varkonia vault over 'terroristic threats' made on Icenian soil. This violated Icenia's anti-bounty hunting laws, and LordChieftain was released. Then due to the events of Sovia's attack upon Nyasaland, and Icenia's perceived harboring of individuals wanted by the UNC, UNC members began to doubt their ability to work constructively with Icenia. Around this time, Icenia decided to cancel its request to join the alliance.
