We have incorporated ourselves into the CCCP (Confederation of Cities, Communes and Protectorates)! The main reason for this is our activity level, which for a bit now has been fairly low.

The territory Lumière was first publicly claimed on June 4th 2021 on reddit. The claims were announced earlier than was planned, with AmandaCC stating "In short, this is a claim to avoid other people claiming this area, but we'll start building a proper city very soon!"<ref name=":1" /> It was about four days later that the first roads in Lutèce were built, made from stone bricks, stone and polished blackstone.

=== Inactivity and Merger with the CCCP===
Starting in late July, inactivity in Lumière dropped heavily, until the only player that was regularly active was AmandaCC. According to her, because of this inactivity, the server started to feel like a chore and not a game, and she hoped that this merger with the CCCP would allow people to still play in Lumière while "diminishing the burden of governance and protection"<ref name=":2" />.
Ultimately the activity of Lumière remained low until the [[CivClassics Shutdown|End of the World]].
