The Republic of Icenia was a democratic republic located at (-6500,-6500) that gained its independence on July 8th 2015 from the [[towns/kaiserin|Commonwealth of the Kaiserinreich]] through a peaceful and democratic referendum. On 13th November Icenia would join the United Volterran Empire and the Republic was dissolved, though it would later return on Civclassic as the Second Republic of Icenia.
 
== History ==
Line 24:
Before the founding of Icenia the region had been mostly ignored for most of 2.0 with the exception of a couple of newfriend settlements, most notably the City State of Fort Pike, a small stone brick fort built by Ipslore during the early days of 2.0 during a period where there was no snow in Icenia. This fort would later be demolished to make room for the Fort Pike Memorial Park where a original Fort Pike furnace can still be found today.
 
The land would later be aquiredacquired by the Kaiserinreich and was referred to as New Swabia on official maps.
 
=== Founding of Icenia and growth under the Kaiserinreich ===
 
Icenia was founded on May 7th 2015 by ChrisChrispie as a new trading-focused city within the Kaiserinreich shortly after it had declared independence from [[SPQR (Civcraft 2.0)|S.P.Q.R]]. The location of the city was chosen do to its close proximity to Orion and its safe distance from the nations Kaiserin was fighting at the time. The general idea was that it would be a so called "buffer state" for Kaiserinreich, which had recently attempted to build one in SPQR's desert only to be pushed back within a day.
 
ChrisChrispie began developing the region shortly after, building several farms and buildings, however the town only began to grow nearly one month after its foundation when new player started being invited to work and live in the region, resulting in population growth that was much faster than expected, leading Icenia to quickly become the largest city within the Kaiserinreich. This growth in turn resulted in tensions with the Kaiserin government as the new citizens of Icenia began seeing the smaller central government and its policies as being prejudicial to the city.

This growth inIt turnalso resulted in tensions with the Kaiserinnational government as the new citizens of Icenia began seeing the smaller central government and its policies as being prejudicial to the city.
Thus two different factions were formed within Kaiserinreich, one that believed that Icenia was being held back by the ckr and that it would continue do be so until it became independent and another that believed that the current problems of the nation could be solved by a series of reforms within the leadership and organization of the country and that independence would only serve to hurt both nations.

The second route was attempted, with ChrisChrispie becoming the chancellor of Kaiserich. However, after a failed attempt to join the preeminent alliance in the region, The GNA, Icenia decided to take another route.
The debate regarding Icenian independence would continue throughout the following weeks with varying degrees of intensity as both sides argued the pros and cons of each option until a referendum was finally held on July 8th, resulting on 100% majority support for independence from the population of Icenia, allowing Icenia to finally become its own sovereign state.
 
A referendum was finally held on July 8th, 2015. 100% of active Icenians voted for Independence.
=== Independence ===
 
Shortly after declaring independence Icenia quickly joined the GNA and started a "flag burning party" to celebrate independence, inviting people from all around the server to join the celebration where the old flag of the Kaiserinreich would be burned and replaced by the new Icenian flag. However this celebration would not be without problems as it was discovered that the old flag was stone reinforced under a foreign group, forcing the flag to be tediously destroyed by hand instead of quickly burned as planned.
