Icenia, or the Republic of Icenia, is a Semi-Democratic nation located in the -,- quadrant of the map led by ChrisChrispie, and well know for its storied past in the closing months of Civcraft 2.0. In Civclassics it is one of the "Big 4" nations with the most activity: Icenia, Bloom, Mount Augusta, and Commonwealth.
Icenia's history traces back to its roots in Civcraft 2.0 as an outpost of Kaiserinreich. At the time of Icenia's initial founding as a colony, Kaiserinreich was involved in a conflict with SPQR and Volterra over sought after land needed for the production of EXP. The colony was established on the remote edges of the Kaiserinreich-Volterra boarder in an effort to create more legitimacy on the land as being rightfully Kaiserins, and to serve as a base for a potential invasion of Volterra through the North. Icenia however grew very quickly independent of Kaiserinreich itself, and soon the majority of the players within Kaiserineich lived in Icenia. Due to the distance between Kaiserin City and Icenia City, and the lack of a strong ruler in Kaiserineich, many Icenians began to reject Kaiserin rule, and on July 8th, 2015, declared independence from Kaiserinreich and joined the Grand Northern Alliance. After this, Icenia experienced a massive population boom of which it could not handle, and eventually suffered from its overall lack of infrastructure leading to its eventual annexation by Volterra. ▼
'''Founding on Civclassics'''
In March of 2019, ChrisChrispie became active on the Civcraft community again after 2 years of inactivity and traveled to the -,- with the intention on joining Bloom and running for their Parliament. However, these plans did not pan out and after consulting with Varkonian leader Mickale, a tract of land over what once was Antietem Isles and Nexus was granted to ChrisChrispie to re-establish Icenia. The re-establishment of Icenia occurred on March 11, 2019, and was announced to the Subreddit that night.
'''Early Civclassics History (March 2019)'''

Icenia's early development was initiated by ChrisChrispie shortly after Icenia's announcement in regards to their existence went public. Despite the notoriety of Icenia as a nation though, most players on the server were well established and not many wanted to make the trek out to the then backwoods nation. Thus, ChrisChrispie was alone when he built the first building in Icenia-a dirt shack on the beach. Slowly new players started to join the nation however. The first few came from Musicbook, where ChrisChrispie was well known, but did not stick around for long. DarkMalivas was the first non-musicbook member to join the nation and built Icenia's first residential complex-the Sandstone Tower. The Sandstone Tower would later draw the ire of most Icenian's as being an eyesore upon the expanding harbor skyline until it was torn down after standing for three months to make way for Icenia's own Corvus shop.
It was around this time that Icenia also began to develop its Chan influence when DreadedNova, a previous citizen of Polynesia in Civcraft 2.0, joined the nation and quickly moved up the ranks to become assistant leader of Icenia during its Pre-Constitution era. DreadedNova would go on to invite other players from various 4chan associated Minecraft servers and soon Icenia began to grow at a quick pace-but nothing compared to what would come later. LordChieftain would join during this era too. During this time Icenia saw growth along Gapplar Drive-then considered the central hub of Icenian development. DreadedNova would build his windmill during this time and LordChieftain would build "Cobble Castle" - the first stage of a planned city development that would have made Icenia a walled and compact city. This never came to fruition though.
