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.
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 History
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.
Icenia City
Icenia City is a sprawling urban center that is the capital of the Republic of Icenia. With a population of approximately 20 active players, Icenia City is one of the most populated and active cities on the Civclassics server. The city is divided in to several smaller districts or neighborhoods that each contain a unique building style or theme. The most well known areas include: The Jewish Quarter often abbreviated as the "JQ", Oak Row, and Mansion Row. Icenia City also houses the primary rail station in Icenia that has international rail lines to Bloom, Varkonia (Gabon), Imperial Truidence, and a soon to be completed line to the 0,0 Nexus. Furthermore, Icenia's rail station has a vast network of domestic lines that allow citizens and visitors to quickly traverse the nation. The city is also surrounded by a series of wheat farms allowing new players access to free food.
The Jewish Quarter
The Jewish Quarter (JQ) is one of the most prominent and well designed portions of Icenia City; it contains the city's primary factory room and houses a vast portion of its shops and businesses. The district was constructed primarily by Figasaur and RabbiCroc after the events of the Great Jewish Diaspora from Mount Augusta. The Jewish Quarter also contains Icenia's largest synagogue of which, RabbiCroc is the Rabbi of. It is one of the most notable sources of Icenian culture and religion.
Oak Row
The name oak row was given to the street upon which many newfriends constructed their house. It is marked by buildings nearly completely constructed from the oak trees that blanket the island. While some consider it an eye sore, oak row has become a staple of Icenian culture and a reminder of Icenian history.
