Icenia (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

Icenia would ultimately partake in the final two assaults of the war-upon the Best Western Vault in the HJE and the Geographical vault outside of SPQR. The War would conclude with these military victories and Icenia would once again, be at peace.

== Post-War Icenia (July 2020-Today) ==

After the end of the Infinity War, Icenia would enter into a period of relative inactivity due to server performance issues. Slowly, however, Icenia would begin to trickle back and once the server performance issues had been fixed. This population recovery in Icenia would lead to massive infrastructure projects finally being completed, including the GOR which would finally work its way to Imperial Truidence via the Icenian overpass constructed by Bgbba and other Yoahtlans.

Icenia would also find themselves the owners of Bloom, their former allies in the UDF. Bloom would go inactive and move to Realms during the period of server inactivity mentioned above. As a result, negotiations were opened with the remaining Bloomians and all groups were handed to the Icenian government, including groups for the smaller Bloom vault. Bloomians would eventually work their way back to the server however, and Icenia would give back the city proper to Ashlor, with the remaining land being unclaimed as a "frontier" under administrative control of Icenia with the icea that new nations, defined by the Icenian government, could be granted it to establish themselves. Tritan Island would remain with Icenia along with Hyperion, a large flat and square tract of land near the former nation of TVtopia.

Icenia also experienced an influx of old players seeking a new life in the active streets of Icenia. The majority of Pacem would end up moving to Icenia, with Naglafer becoming Icenia's first new Minister of Interior in over a year. With this influx, the largest economy ever seen in Icenia developed, with Naglafer claiming Hyperion Island for Titan Industries, and large farms being constructed by Enforcer15 and other Icenians in former Carbon claims, Icenia's nether biome claim, East Side Icenia, and the island of Blumfeild off the far West coast of Icenia.

Icenia would also find themselves the owners of parts of Wayrest claims and Astonia claims as a direct result of agreements made after the Infinity War, with Wayrest eventually being split jointly between several UDF nations. Astonia would remain a relatively inactive part of Icenia, but plans were made to turn the region into a critical region for EXP production of primarily melon.

=== December 2020 Election and Landmark Constitutional Changes ===

During Icenia's period of inactivity there was little change in the Icenian government, so much so that the September 2020 election consisted of only 5 people running for judge, most at last minute. During the September election, DroidJoe would come out victorious, however once it was discovered he held government positions in Varkonia, the election went to a new player named Mason, who would become the first member of the Icenian Workers Party to pick up a seat in the Icenain Ministry. Things started to pick up in October and Novemember of 2020 with elections, with the elections of November 2020 seeing the most candidates running for Judge positons, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of the Interior.

Notably, Minister of Defense Soundtech was allowed to run for all three elected positions, throwing a wrench into the election. The hottest drama during the election however was the Naglafer v. Minemaster election for Minister of Interior with Minemaster running under the SNP (Stop Naglafer Party) and claiming that his opponent "did nothing for the Republic of Icenia". While Naglafer would go on to win this position, early in the election it seemed it would come down to a runoff because of Soundtech's existence in the race.

Charliesse, a former citizen on Yoahtl and an Infinity War veteran would end up picking up the vacant seat for judge left by incumbent LordCheiftain, who decided not to run for re-election. This position was highly contested though, with FreestyleJr, xDarkDiamond, and others nearly taking the position. Driving political discourse was Onii_Chan's, The Grand Judge of Icenia, schtick of stealing crafting tables from homes. Charlie would run on an anti-crafting table theft platform which tapped into the sentiments of many new players who had fallen victim to the crime. Despite the controvery, Onii_Chan would sweep the election for Grand Judge, winning over 45% of all 1st place votes in Icenia.
