=== Pre-CivclassicCivClassic ===

Before CivclassicCivClassic, Mount Augusta existed in different iterations of various civ-genre servers. The very first server that Mount Augusta was involved in was Civcraft 1.0. Originally founded as the Augustan Republic, it became one of the most widely known cities, famed for its welcoming attitude and friendliness to new players. Despite suffering through wars, theater performances, assassinations, and corruption scandals, Mount Augusta in Civcraft 1.0 was marked by the unity and fraternity of citizens, regardless of ideology.

Devoted 3.0 saw one of the most aesthetically stunning iterations of Mount Augusta yet, with beautiful curving roads, flowing terrain, and the heart and souls of its citizenry. However, much like other 3.0s, Devoted 3.0's time was limited, and the move to CivclassicCivClassic was inevitable. Shortly before the end of Devoted 3.0, the citizenry of Mount Augusta agreed to move to an unofficial spinoff of Mount Augusta in Civclassic, the current home of the city-stateCivClassic.

Mount Augusta came to a rocky start in CivclassicCivClassic. New mayor [[ProgramMC]], was determined to keep the city alive and to bring the former players from Devoted to CivclassicCivClassic. The city was established on the same island as another nation, [[Tierra de Conciencia]]. At first the people of Tierra de Conciencia were afraid of the new Augustan presence. In past iterations, Mount Augusta was a thriving and sprawling city, and the small nation was worried of annexation and overshadowing by Mount Augusta. However, the Augustan mayor, ProgramMC eased these worries, and there was peace for a time. However, then, tensions with the neighboring Tierra de Conciencia began to grow worse. Griefing and murders began to be commonplace within Mount Augusta and Tierra de Conciencia, and as a result, Mount Augusta's population started to die out. Tierra de Conciencia eventually annexed the former city. This period came to an end after Mayor ProgramMC, furious over the annexation, griefed Tierra de Conciencia's main city on the alt ManicMineman. Much of the grief still remains to this day<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/8lpcri/resignation_my_farewell_to_mount_augusta/</ref>.

[[Squareblob]] became the 7th Mayor of CivclassicCivClassic Mount Augusta at the beginning of March. His term saw the annexation of [[Rhodesia]] and the subsequent crisis involving its vault, where a coalition, primarily comprised of [[Mir]] and [[SATO]], broke it. He was the first Mayor who had never been a Judge of Mount Augusta before, and presently is still the only one.

[[Citylion]] became the 8th Mayor of CivclassicCivClassic Mount Augusta on the 2nd of June after an extremely close election with incumbent squareblob. He passed the Constitutional Stimulus Package in his time, which changed the criteria for citizenship and hence voting. Citylion resigned on the 27th of June after Mirian attacks against him and the city, during his first term. A major project Citylion initiated to completely transform the canals of Mount Augusta into a giant obsidian trap was halted at this time. It was later revealed that HenryDraton had asked SandFalls to help him plan a coup against Citylion, and that if Citylion had not resigned, he would have possibly been couped. This was not known by Citylion at the time of his resignation.

[[AllenY]] became the 9th Mayor of CivclassicCivClassic Mount Augusta on the 3rd of July after defeating [[Gantoe_]] with 80% of the vote. Following his victory, he resigned from his Judge seat as per constitutional limitations.

The government was composed of an elected Mayor, three Judges elected in staggered elections, and typically a Diplomat, elected or appointed, and a number of Cups, who form a Cupboard, comparable to a cabinet, all appointed by the Mayor. The Judges had the most legal power, as they interpret the laws and decide on conflicts in them, while the Mayor has some powers but was mainly a figurehead. The relative powerlessness of the executive (represented by the Mayor and Cupboard) was highly unusual among CivclassicCivClassic and other Civserver countries, and was a result of the city's minarchistic philosophy. While political parties were initially significant in domestic politics, they were not so much any longer towards the end of MtA, and elections were generally on an individual basis. Today, Mount September functions similarly.
