'''The Kingdom of Impasse''' was one of the major nations during early [[CivClassic]].
It was located in the -,- quadrant, neighboring [[Coventhia]], [[Lusitania (CivClassic 2.0)|Lusitania]], [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]], and [[TdC]].
 
== Architecture ==
Line 34 ⟶ 37:
Impasse's Miami district is based around an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 80's/futuristic] style.
 
== RailwayRailways ==
Impasse Proper is the northern end of the [[HITS]] rail, connecting most major cities in the western hemicirclehemisphere such as [[TdC]],Lusitania [[Mt(CivClassic 2. Augusta0)|Lusitania]], and the [[Commonwealth]]. Direct railways connect Impasse to [[FrostrockTdC]], [[SPQR]],Mt. [[ColumbiaAugusta]], and the [[0,0Commonwealth]]. There is an ongoing effort to make these rails safe and automated.
Direct railways connect Impasse to [[Frostrock]], [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]], [[Columbia]], and [[0,0]].
 
== Politics ==
Line 41 ⟶ 45:
=== Government ===
 
As the governmental structure iswas a Constitutional Monarchy<ref name="Constitution">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oyfWuAogHX-G83Y7scNeHLykALCKuWH09HB8V0uxwNw/edit Constitution]</ref>, the royal family iswas based around marriage and inheritance.
<ref name="RoyalFamily">Royal family: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivImpasse/comments/6fap2g/a_proposal_for_the_government_of_impasse/</ref>
 
The citizens of Impasse regularly votevoted creating a House of Commons consisting of about 1/5 of all citizens.
<ref>https://gist.github.com/Gjum/73b6d1917277b09e3022690ef80e7a72#title-ii-the-house-of-commons/</ref>
 
Any town in Impasse cancould become a ''District'' if it hashad distinguishing characteristics and iswas the primary residence of five or more citizens.
Districts cancould independently control their "urban configuration and architectural style of their buildings and public places".

=== International Relations ===
 
Impasse was a founding member of the [[Western Alliance]] , and later joined the [[United Northern Congress]].
 
== History ==
Line 60 ⟶ 64:
 
Originally named Wild Hogs<ref name="WildHogsAnnouncement">https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6ebqtm/announcing_the_nation_wild_hogs_starring_john//</ref>,
Impasse bringsbrought together people from big 2.0 nations such as Orion, Senntisten, Haven, Aeon, Argos, Metro, Olympia, but also new friends from [[Aquila]] on 3.0/Devoted.
 
Since early on, Impasse iswas in close [[Western Alliance|alliance]] with [[Hjaltland]]. One of the first combined efforts was building the [[HITS]] rail.
 
=== War with Alpoko ===
 
On 15 June 2017, YegorDia from [[Alpoko]] raided an Impassian cactus farm outpost while it was being [[AFK|AFK'd]].
When YegorDia stopped responding to negotiations and six more raiders appeared at the farm, Impasse sent four fighters there.
Immediately after they arrived at the farm and assessed the damage, the raiders were already in Impasse, so the fighters rushed back to the city.
Line 80 ⟶ 84:
=== Building Police ===
 
On 09 July 2017 the [[Blackwater]] [[Altraids|alt accounts]] from [[Blackwater]] Prot_Monster, vanz_gateng, Not_a_raider, and Doofdip tore down the two unreinforced houses of Samnrad and Seldomshock and posted a video of the raid on the subreddit under the account "TheBuildingPolice".
<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6mf45q/introducing_the_building_police_shoutout_to_my/ Building Police raid video]</ref>
The houses were rebuilt shortly after.
 
More video posts follow over the next days, revealing that they are indeed alts of the Blackwater members
[[Saren_Solaris]], [[dookoo782]], YegorDia, and [[bewsiej]].
dookoo782 and YegorDia were pearled on 15 July 2017 and [[Vault|vaulted]] by [[Hjaltland]], while Saren_Solaris and bewsiej got off scot-free.

Line 91 ⟶ 95:
=== Vault Invasion and Big Griefing ===
 
{The [[Lexington]] affiliates Rixxlon/, Symotic/, Johnsama/, and DirtyDiaperDude secretly built a [[Vault|vault hole]] in Impasse territory around [https://ccmap.github.io/#c={Coords|-4360,|-4090,r60 -4360 -4090]|60}}.
<ref>Images of illegal vault hole:<gallery>
File:Lex_vault_in_impasse_map.png|
Line 98 ⟶ 102:
After being discovered, they tactically griefed their own hole to prevent Impasse from using it. Impasse responded by removing their blocks and placing more tactical griefing on Impasse groups.
 
On 21 August 2017 the vault builders retaliated by raiding Impasse's capital city and griefing it with [[SRO]] and SRS. The cleanup involved many supporters from all over the map, notably Impasse's [[Western Alliance|allies]] [[Hjaltland]] and the [[Commonwealth]]. Remnants of the grief are still visible half a year later.
 
=== Inactivity ===
Line 106 ⟶ 110:
 
=== Revival ===

Events such as the [[Fall of Lexington]] and the [[1.12 update]] brought old Impassiani back to CivClassic,
deciding to leave the Old City behind and build a new, better city in the Plains valley north of the main island, initially named "New Impasse".
Many of the city's buildings are in Art Deco style, most notably a modelreplica of the Cincinnati Rail Station and Seldomshock's tower of CobbleDick Industries.
 
=== Corvus ===
Line 117 ⟶ 121:
with Jaydrive functioning as CEO and the Board of Directors consisting of other government figures of Impasse.
 
Corvus Corporation maintainsmaintained several shops, located in [[Gabon]], Old Impasse, and [[Icenia]], but most revenue comescame from on-demand purchases by individuals.
 
To strengthen the relationships with its neighbors, Corvus joined the [[UNC]] alliance on May 1, 2019, and stayed a member until itsthe disbandmentUNC disbanded.
 
During the [[Infinity War]], the vault inside Corvus wouldwas fallbroken duringby the Infinity[[Ok WarBomber coalition]], and most of itsCorvus' remaining players would bewere banned for duping, thus ending Corvus', and thus Impasse's, existence on the serverCivClassic.
