Icenia (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

Icenia continued to flourish after May of 2019, and the May elections saw the highest turnout yet, electing Figasaur and Quanton_Biscuit as Judges for the first time. However, Icenia was still underdeveloped militarily and facing economic stagnation. Quickly, the state took on a policy of both defensive and economic development, especially in the face of a perceived threat from the UNC, specifically the nation of Varkonia. Also aiding this desire to expand defensively was that Icenia ended its associate member status within SATO due to Figasaur gaining more prominence in Icenian government. It was around this time that the decision to construct both a skybunker downtown and a vault in the further reaches of the nation took place. Construction began led by Figasaur and Rurik, however construction on the vault was stalled after Rurik left Icenia and Figasaur's construction plan was leaked to NATO. Instead of a vault, all work went into a rickety one-bastion skybunker, dubbed the 'The Space Needle'. Also during this time much of the Sovian minority left Icenia due to growing tensions between Gamephobic, Pirater, and the Icenian government. Around this time "modern Icenia" as we know it was in its infancy, with the UNC disbanding allowing the creation of the [[UDF]] with Icenia, Bloom, and Imperial Truidence as founding members. The arrival of both veteran players [[adeadhead]] and Enforcer15, two individuals who would become industry giants, and the creation of West Isle as a state all signaled full steam ahead for growth.
