Laconia is a semi-active group of players that has spanned multiple maps since [[Devoted]] 2.0 in early 2016.
Laconia is a small nation that was at the edge of the map, beside the location of the first [[Yoahtl|Yoahtlan]] city on CivClassic. It is now east of [[Mount September]].
 
Their most important incarnation was founded in the first month of [[CivClassic 2.0]] in June 2017, when Laconia constructed the fortress town [[Mt. Doom]], originally a set of stonebrick walls on a mountaintop that served to defend [[Yoahtl]]'s then-capital city, [[Axochitlan]]. 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 destroyed by Coalition forces after a five 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.
They were allied with [[Lexington]] and opposed Yoahtl, despite originally being a homestead of Yoahtl. They were then defeated during the [[Infinity War]] and have been subsequently freed.
 
Due to their split with Yoahtl, the two nations ended up on opposite geopolitical axes, with Laconia signing an alliance with [[Lexington]], and Yoahtl becoming closer with Hjaltland, who were the early competitors for [[World Police|global hegemony]]. Even though Laconia consciously stayed out of the [[Somber War]], thereby escaping the destruction the other allies of Lexington faced after its final defeat, this early alignment ended up deciding Laconia's place in the geopolitical structure and the sides it took in future conflicts.
 
== History ==
===== OriginThe on DevotedRevenants =====
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, TofeeDodgerTofee_Dodger, FRESH_Candy, and BuckyHD, with [[ashnwill]] joining later. They were early allies of [[Agora]], who are known on modern CivClassic as Hjaltland (somewhatsort of),. andThey formed the Conglomerate which fought the Pirates and [[Ascalon]] (led by Vicccyy and SirCrowley respectively).

Bucky and Fresh began thinking of new names for the group, one of which mentioned was Laconia. This neverfirst turnedversion intoof anythingthe otherLaconian thanstate Ashnwillon Devoted 2.0 was essentially ashnwill using the name, building a vault with Tofee_Dodger, [[Malen]], and shit[[Brocktree]], and stirringattempting to make a preemptive power-play against Agora by invading the community[[Semper Union]]. This was foiled by the betrayal of Malen and Brocktree, resulting in Revenentshis excommunicatingexcommunication by the himRevenants.
 
'''TempCivTemp and 3.0'''
 
During Temp[[CivTemp]], the group that formed the Revenants and Laconia did not play much, aside from Bucky playing apart of [[Yoahtl]]. During this time Bucky further developed the idea of Laconia. After failing to convinveconvince Yoahtl to change with documents and reforms written by Bucky, and with the help of [[zachtack]], they began to write documents for Laconia for the anticipated 3.0, such as a legal document, charter, and plan of Laconia. [[File:Laconia Banner.png|thumb|Foreign Laconian Banner]] When 3.0 began, the group of ReventsRevenants officially became Laconia, and recruited many people, notably JohnFairfax, and few other HCFers. Laconia was located in the same shard as Yoahtl as they were to be allies due to Bucky's friendship with Quahutli_Mia[[Quauhtli_Mia]] and Yoahtl. The capital city was Lacedaemon and was to become a vault city, but due to people becoming inactive and an alt raider attack on the bunker, Laconia broke apart and became inactive, or moved to other nations.
 
===== CivClassic =====
Line 60 ⟶ 62:
Due to the soon to be Laconia members discussing land deals with Hjaltland for a portion of the nearby jungle without Yoahtl leadership which angered St_Leibowitz, who wished to have Tofee_Dodger removed due to being the one dealing with the land deal. As a result, Fresh, Bucky, and Tofee left Yoahtl to become their own private group, notably a Company called Quantum Company, as they had planned on 2.0 when being in Yoahtl.
 
This split resulted in some anger towards the group, notably from WackyAki, and others once people began to join the group. GdanGDan, owner of Danville, as well as LordEmberScar wished to join the group. This resulted in Bucky enacting his plan for Laconia once again as it could no longer be a company with other regions joining. As a result, Danville, Mt. Doom, and a portion of Pumpkintown became property of Laconia, to the resentment of many Yoahtlans.
 
Eventually talks began for Laconia to merge back into Yoahtl, but bgbgbba, who was acting for LeibSt_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 bgbgbba was unable to actually decide on this. This angered the Laconia leadership who viewed it as a waste of time.
 
====== First Laconia-Yoahtl War ======
This all came to a boiling point when Yoahtl attacked Laconia, resulting in the first Laconian Yoahtl war and Laconian victory, resulting in the first treaty. This resulted in many Yoahtlans moving away, viewing they could no longer live beside the Laconians.
 
Due to the threat of alt raidersaltraiders from Hjaltland, and pearling of Laconia by them, Laconia made agreements with Lexington, such as a defensive agreement.
FRESH_Candy and TofeeDodger decided to reinvite ashnwill to the reborn Laconia around this time, playing on the secret alt TotallyNotHigh. Around this time Laconia began to slowly go inactive again, with Bucky rarely logging on and Fresh and Tofee somewhat working on Mt Doom, while ash began to grind at Mt Doom, building a vault and tunnel to it on world border.
 
FRESH_Candy and TofeeDodgerTofee_Dodger decided to reinvite ashnwill to the reborn Laconia around this time. He had a bad history with [[sintralin]], playingthe leader of Lexington, and so he played on the secret alt TotallyNotHigh to avoid provoking her and jeopardizing the alliance.

====== Second Laconia-Yoahtl War ======
[[File:Laconia Flag.png|thumb|Laconian Flag]]Yoahtl enacted a second attack on Mt Doom, resulting in the second Laconian Yoahtl-Laconia warWar, where Laconia was able to pearl a majority of those who attacked the Mountain, pearling multiple, including Quahulti_MiaQuauhtli_Mia, and transporting them to the Lexington vault due to the agreement. This resulted in the second treaty of Laconia to be made with bgbgbba.
 
Laconia again became inactive, this time fully with little play on the server. Ongoing around this time was the Somber war, and due to Lexington having been aggressive, Laconia did not have to join in with the agreement, and were also told not to due to being so close to Hjaltland, who we made an agreement with not to get involved unless directly provoked.
