=== Icenian Population Boom ===
=== Icenian Population Boom ===
Icenia began experiencing a population boom at the end of March 2019. It was during this time that many Sovians established duel citizenship within Icenia including Pirater, Gamephobic, Iakwai, and others. Icenia had also around this time completed a rail line to Bloom, which had just closed its borders to new players after continuing alt-raids caused issues for the nation. This caused many new players not associated with Sovia to join Icenia as well, given the fact that it was the closest active nation to Bloom in the region.

On April 9th, 2019 Sovia attacked UNC nation Nyasaland for the pearling of Lakupippu. After heavy fighting and bombing of Palgrave City, the majority of the attackers were pearled and sent to either Mir's vault or Nyasaland's vault.

One of the attackers pearled in Sovia's attack on Nyasaland was LordChieftain, and the majority of the Sovian attackers had been granted, or were under the process to be granted, duel citizenship in the Republic of Icenia.

On April 13th, AngryPepsi, a new player under Sovian influence, attacked Palgrave City carrying on his person a number of end crystals and stacks of TNT. AngryPepsi was pearled, but shortly released and took refuge for a brief amount of time to be with the rest of the Sovians, most of who were now full citizens of Icenia due to the annexation of Sovia-Verdan land by Nyasaland and the reinstatement of the throne in Crowsroost.

After being released, AngryPepsi would travel to Bloom with more end crystals and attempt to bomb the reinforced Bloom rail station. This attack was almost immediately stopped, but resulted in Bloom taking drastic measures against Icenia. Bloomians in Icenia were asked to close their shops, remove duel citizenship from the nation if they had it, and the Bloomian parliament took up a vote to restrict trade and travel to Icenia in totality via embargo. Although this would not pass due to diplomatic pressure, a rouge citizen of Bloom, HuM4nB3inG, would intentionally grief the Icenian-Bloom railway with a obby deathtrap. This resulted in his pearling by Bloom and sentencing in Icenia, being punished to penal labor building the new Icenia-Imperial Trudence rail line.

As a further result, Icenia removed its application to join the UNC, an organization which it had historically been apart of in 2.0 when it had operated under the GNA (Grand Northern Alliance) name.

==== New Sovia ====
==== New Sovia ====
Historically, Icenia maintained positive relations with Sovia/New Sovia, and much of the Pre-Constitution era was defined by a peaceful co-existence between Icenian's and Sovians in the nation. Many 'first wave' citizens in Icenia were avid players of /pol/andcraft, and were brought into Icenia by Sovians creating a strong early culture in the nation and several 'districts', Ram Ranch most notably. The land Icenia was built upon was also at one point owned in part by Gamephobic, whos first house on the server still stands in the Southeastern region of Antietam Island, where Icenia City is located.

Relations began to sour after breaches of trust between the government of Icenia and Sovians however. After the Nyasaland attack, the government of Icenia cracked down upon stashes of TNT carried over into the nation after it was found out that AngryPepsi had massive amounts of it compacted and stored in the nation. The UNC was also given the authority to pearl any attacker of Nyasaland not yet captured if they entered into Icenia. Later, ChrisChrispie was accused of stealing diamond blocks from Pirater being used to help build up New Sovia, when presented with evidence, ChrisChrispie gave the blocks back. However, this would permanently damage relations between the two groups.
Relations began to sour after breaches of trust between the government of Icenia and Sovians. After the Nyasaland attack, 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 came to a complete freezing over though in mid June of 2019, when Swiftfizz and many other New Sovians entered Icenian territory and restricted land, later spamming 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. Icenia has not released an official statement to this matter yet and the situation is ongoing.
