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 Laconiathe Laconians 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]], 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 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.
