===Pre-Civclassic History===
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]] 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.

=== First Icenian Population Boom and Mount Augusta Dispute (April 2019) ===
Icenia again experienced a population boom in March 2019. Many [[Sovia|Sovians]] established dual Icenian citizenship including [[Pirater]], Gamephobic, and iakwai. A rail to Bloom, which had just closed its borders to new players after continuing alt-raids, was completed. This caused many new players not associated with Sovia to join Icenia, given that it was the closest active nation to Bloom. Also helpful to was Icenia's association with former Chan players. Many players joined Icenia from /int/craft, /pol/craft, and the remnants of the Chanseatic State. Most of the new population during this time settled in
The prominent event of this era was the "Mount Augusta Crisis". During the week of April 20th, 2019, a new account named Tylerj05 entered Icenia and became a resident of the nation, joining the Icenian discord and renting a room in Figasaur's apartments. On April 24th, 2019, Figasaur logged in for the first time since since Tylerj05's arrival and was subsequently pearled and brought to Mount Augusta over Augustan claims of treason. The pearl was handed to DRECO and Figasaur was placed in [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|Mount Augusta]]'s vault, eventually being upgraded to an end pearl.
The Icenian response was immediate and harsh. Tylerj05, and thus Mount Augusta, had violated Icenian sovereignty by illegally pearling and extraditing Figasaur. While Icenian leaders searched for a solution to the issue, Icenian nationals organized a protest on the streets of Mount Augusta. On the night of April 24th, 2019, Icenians and members of SATO descended on Mount Augusta to protest the pearling under strict orders to not engage in any combat with the Augustans. The protest began peacefully, but eventually devolved into chaos as Callum lit TNT against the protesters, killing many. Fed up with being bombed, they went home to Icenia.

By the beginning of 2020, it became more and more clear that the UDF and NATO were inching closer and closer to war with each passing day. The discovery of an ice road between Ransakistan and Corvus in December and the existence of escaped Ransakistani fighters and later-known cheaters MineCraftIsFTW ("Vespasian") and Poortea ("thomasih") in NATO-aligned nations was writing on the wall for many members of the Icenian government and UDF leadership. That writing became reality after NATO affiliates attacked members of Icenian ally Columbia in the streets of Rotterdam with no forewarning. This action pushed Icenia, and the UDF as a whole, into the Siege of Pinkerton over the skies of the Mount Augustan-HJE border in a secret mission. After the vault fell, evidence was released via leak which showed that the supposedly neutral nations of the UDF actively participated in the attack on Pinkerton, and a vote was passed within the UDF to declare war on NATO as an alliance.
Attention was immediately placed on Columbia, which was the closest UDF nation to NATO occupied lands. For a short time, the war was silent between NATO and the UDF and construction of Valyria's vault was prioritized. The calm would soon end at the
A prolonged and ongoing siege took place in Columbia after NATO managed to move forward through Rotterdam with relative ease due to having group access and into Valyria, obby bombing it as they went. This siege lasted two months and countless assaults upon The Crucible were repelled with the aid of Entente and Mir. During this time, desire to play dropped to an all time low as Valyria was decimated by NATO and the Icenian Milita was on constant red-alert status. Eventually, Robokaiser was pearled in Polska and plans were made to skybridge the city of Polska to disable traps, bunkers, and push NATO back to their vaults once more. The operation was successful, the Siege of Valyria ended and cleanup began.
