==== Early Planning ====
[[File:Jorvik Inspirational Concept.png|thumb|The concept design that inspired Jorvik's architecture.]]
Jorvik's modern territory was settled in early June 2022. However, the earliest conceptualization of the nation began on May 15, 2022, when former [[Varkonia|Varkonian]] senator [[Cicero]] pondered the idea of settling in a snowy area and constructing a viking-themed stave church upon settling. These ideas were prompted by former Varkonian leader, the Red Duke [[Mickale]], beginning a discussion over whether or not he would return to the civilization genre following the shut down of [[CivClassic 2.0]]. On May 22, it was decided formally that Jorvik's location would be centered upon coastal snowy-hills.
Shortly before the launch of [[CivMC]], it was proposed by Roman citizen [[NovaCaesar]] that Jorvik enter into a confederative alliance with SPQR. Discussions regarding the proposal were brief and on May 26 it was decided that Jorvik would remain aligned with its creators original visions of being a City-State. With an administrative path selected Cicero began preparing for the physical creation of Jorvik and a prototype of his Stave Church concept was promptly constructed on Jorvik's build server.
==== Discovery of Jorvik ====

The Jorvik settlement was established on June 2, 2022. The location was chosen after hours of exploratory scouting by Mickale, Cicero, and Seldomshock. The location was chosen, in part, because it greatly resembled the geological conception that the nation's founders had established before launch. Following the construction of bare minimum shelter and collection of essential resources the Jorvikson settlers turned their attention to collecting map data. Ulfrich Stormcloak hosted an expedition to document and chart Jorvik's territories on June 3. After he had gathered sufficient information; Cicero submitted Jorvik's territorial claims to the CivMC subreddit marking Jorvik's ceremonial date of foundation. Several other expeditions occurred in the following days. Stormcloak continued his exploration, discovering and christening, '''Shark Island''', an island which has a distinct formation that resembles a shark's body. Mickale ventured even further to the east, constructing a small island settlement known as '''Nordska'''.▼

==== Establishment of National Government ====
Seeking to harness the stability and structure that can only be assumed through formal governance, the Jorvikson settlers began to circulate their ideas on the creation of a formal national government. This conversation would begin on June 4, 2022, within a private chamber containing primitive-Jorvik's de-facto oligarchs (a group of the settlements most influential residents). It was then, that the ideas of directly democratic voting, an independently elected judiciary, and a limited executive office were promulgated. These ideas were contributed by Mickale, who had vast political acumen given his years steering Varkonia. Mickale's proposal included a unicameral legislature that had the ability to veto legislation with a supermajority vote. Other notable Jorvikson politicians, namely Ulfrich Stormcloak, argued in favor of a bicameral legislature that incorporated a permanent group of elders who would also retain authority to veto referendums. These ideas were critical to the formation of government policies and institutions.
