'''Mount Augusta'''
It
It had moved to its present location in late 2017, but has existed in some form since Civcraft 1.0, founded by Mitchellspakes and has one of the longest running histories of any city in Civcraft. In 2.0, Mount Augusta was reformed by LeonardU. It
In late March 2020, [https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/frkknd/moving_mount_augusta_to_realms/ it was announced that Mount Augusta would move to rival server CivRealms]. Since then, the area formerly known as Mount Augusta has become a ghost town, with the [[Union of Socialist Augusta]] declaring it's independence and inheriting the Southern third of the city. The Northern portion of the city still stands, probably due to the sheer scale needed to substantially damage or recycle the land.
==Etymology==
The city-state takes its name from its founders' attempts to randomly zoom in on places in Google Maps until a good name popped up;<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/63coue/its_heartwarming_to_see_mt_augusta_is_still_alive/dfuhx7g/</ref> eventually, the founders landed on Alaskan Boundary Peak 183, named 'Mount Augusta' after the wife of an employee of the US Geological Survey, J. Augusta Olmsted Russell.
==Pre-Abandonment History==
=== Pre-Civclassic ===
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
Without political parties, Ahrimanne and ProgramMC resumed taking turns as mayors of Mount Augusta. It later became known that this stability could be achieved thanks to the "Constitutionalist Party" (which most of the government formed part of at the time) that operated secretly in Mount Augusta. The Constitutionalist Party was dissolved and revealed to the public.

On August 8th, elections for Mayor were held<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/comments/9bbai6/election_mayor/?utm_source=reddit-android</ref>. This election remains the largest in history by number of casted votes and registered voters. For the first time this iteration, neither Ahrimanne nor ProgramMC were running and [[Godomasta]] was seen as the top candidate.
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
Citylion became the 10th Mayor following a close three way election with SandFalls and squareblob. A notable feature of the election was a last minute change of support of SandFall's voting base to citylion in order to beat squareblob.
Citylion won re-election on the 10th of January 2020 to serve a consecutive term. Two months into his term, Diplomat Dr Oracle started a recall thread for both the Diplomat and Mayor. Before the recall votes reached conclusion, Mayor Citylion dismissed Diplomat Dr Oracle and resigned himself. Before doing so, he used the controversial Mayoral Powers Act to pardon himself and others for an ongoing trial. Ahrimanne would later be elected to a third term in office on the 21st of March, and would be the last mayor of Mount Augusta on Classics, as a week later it was decided that Mount Augusta would move servers over to CivRealms.

==Post-Abandonment History==
[[The Union of Socialist Augusta]] would declare independence some two weeks after the abandonment and take about the Southern 40% of frormer Augustan territory. The "Mount Augusta" claim would continue to be maintained for some months afterwards in spite of no legal authority governing the city.
