Laconia is a semi-active 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 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.
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.

=====
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,

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.
Eventually talks began for Laconia to merge back into Yoahtl, but
====== 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.

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.▼

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.
