Nara is a nation on CivMC. It is a Feudal Shogunate, led by Shikken SwordMaster7777.
History
Initially founded in late 2020 by several members of nations in the Far Seas Alliance in CivRealms 2.0 for the now cancelled iteration of CivEx 4.0[2] following the decline of player count on CivRealms, Nara was initially planned as a nation of states much like Nro'meagh and later the Imperial Federation (albeit with a more rigid federal structure) to make use of some of the planned mechanics of CivEx. This server never would release, with many members continuing on to play CivUniverse or Devoted Hell in the interim. In Hell, many Narans played in the successful nation of Inferno while waiting for a more serious (and stable) server to release. This didn't arise until the closure of CivClassic in late 2021, and the announcement of the release of CivMC at some point in 2022. With CivEx behind them, Nara was merged under the one banner in preparation for launch, and many of the plans for subdivision into smaller nations (such as the planned nation of Nagoya) were abandoned.

Cities
Shiroyama
Shiroyama is the capital city of the nation. Its name can mean either White Castle or Castle Mountain depending on the kanji used.
As the capital Shiroyama will likely become the largest and most prosperous city in the nation benefited by it's closeness to allies as well as it's access to lake Biwa via the Beartooth river to the west, and the Ebi river to the east. The great lake Biwa is of central note as it is central to the +,+ quadrant and connects at least six different nations both to eachother and to the ocean via water.
Noto Peninsula
North of Shiroyama lays the Noto peninsula, sandwiched between the diverging Ebi and Beartooth. It represents a continuation of the Shiroyama region upwards to lake Biwa and holds both the headquarters of the Naran Agricultural Department as well as an expansive farm across nearly the entire northern half of the peninsula producing mass quantities of products to be used both nationally and abroad. Nito Point is at the tip of the peninsula, where there is planned to be a lighthouse.
Politics
Feudal System
Nara is a Feudalist Shogunate, led by Shikken SwordMaster7777. Reporting to the Shikken is his Rensho, Prawny331, and the Komuin, who oversee specific parts of the government. Currently, the only Komuin is Bronnakus as Komuin of Player Acquisition ("Newfriend Wrangler"). Vacant positions currently include Domestic Affairs, Transportation, Treasury, and Competition, as well as Taisho.
Also to be part of the government will be Samurai and Daimyo as the need arises.
Culture
Naran culture is built on two pillars:
- Vibing
- Environmentalism
Vibing has been integral to the DNA of Nara ever since its roots began in the Far Seas Alliance, with Shikken SwordMaster7777 even leading the nation of Vibeville. As a principle, Nara does not seek out war with other nations, nor to wantonly expand for expansion's sake. Nara's national interests are to harmonize with its neighbors and to cooperate in infrastructure and trade.
Environmentalism is also integral to Nara's roots. Komuin Bronnakus and Rensho Prawny331 ran the colony of New Providence, which was built in a Solarpunk style and strongly valued environmental integration and architectural passivity. This translates today into the careful consideration of terrain that is present in all of Shiroyama's construction. While other nations see little issue with wiping out entire flower fields and cutting across mountains with trenches, Nara is keen on avoiding such things.
Economy
Nara's economy is based in agriculture, with an increasing rate of industrialization. The majority of jobs are currently in construction, with mining and farming being popular as well. Due to Nara's core lands of meadows, birch forests, and taiga, Nara is a leading producer of carrots and wheat, birch wood, and spruce wood, respectively. Other significant exports include wool, dirt, gold, and fossils. Presently, there is no official currency of Nara, with most shops trading in iron and gold.
