'''Laconia''' was a group of players that has spanned multiple maps since [[Devoted]] 2.0 in early 2016.
 
Their most important incarnation was founded in the first month of [[CivClassic 2.0]] in June 2017, when the Laconians constructed the fortress town [[Mt. Doom]], originally a set of stone brick walls on a mountaintop that served to defend [[Yoahtl]]'s then-capital city, [[Axochitlan]], until Laconia declared independence. After tensions between the two nations rose to the point of [[Yoahtl-Laconia_Wars|war]], the Laconians captured Axochitlan. This forced the other half of Yoahtl on an exodus to the other side of the map, where they founded [[New Yoahtl City]]. Tensions and intermittent conflict between the sibling nations continued for several years until the [[Infinity War]], when Mt. Doom was captured by Coalition forces in January 2020 after a four month siege. After peace negotiations that took over a year, Laconia's citizens were freed from [[Hjaltland]]'s vault and founded a new city on [[Doom Island]], to the east of [[Mount September]], where they remained peacefully until the end of the map in December 2021.

== History ==
===== <big>The Revenants</big> =====
Laconia can trace their roots to a group on [[Devoted]] 2.0, the Revenants. Born out of a shared hatred of the [[Pirates]], it was the fusion of several early-map groups, led by Vapin, Tofee_Dodger, [[FRESH_Candy]], and [[BuckyHD]], with [[ashnwill]] joining later. They were early allies of [[Agora]], who were later known on CivClassic 2.0 as Hjaltland (sort of). They formed the Conglomerate which fought the Pirates and [[Ascalon]] (led by Vicccyy and SirCrowley respectively).

Line 44:
This split resulted in some anger towards the group, notably from WackyAki. [[GDAN12]], owner of Danville, as well as [[LordEmberscar]], joined the group, resulting in Danville, a portion of Pumpkintown, and Mt. Doom becoming property of Quantum Company. This encouraged Bucky to enact his plans for a Laconian nation-state once again, incorporating the properties of Quantum Company as provinces.
 
Eventually talks began for Laconia to merge back into Yoahtl, but [[bgbba]], who was acting for St_Leibowitz, began to talk about forming a coalition between the two nations, or joining Laconia with Pumpkintown. After much time talking about a coalition it was revealed bgbba was unable to actually decide on this. This angered the Laconia leadership who viewed it as a waste of time.
