Nara is a nation on CivMC, located in the deep (+,+) on the continent of [[Alenarith]], a long Chilean-like nation alongside their western neighbour and close ally [[Dalgon]], with fellow Japanese themed nation [[Gensokyo]] to the south east. To the north is Lake Biwa, and the three nations surrounding it of [[Doom City]], the [[Free Danzilonan Republic]] and the [[Arsenio Pact]].

Nara is a nation on CivMC. It is a Feudal Shogunate led by Shikken [[SwordMaster7777]].

== History ==

==History==

Initially founded in late 2020 by several members of nations in the [[Far Seas Alliance]] in [[CivRealms 2.0]], Nara was planned for the now-cancelled iteration [[CivEx 4.0]]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/oou4i3/its_dead_btw/</ref>. 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. Due to the cancellation of CivEx, many members continued on to play [[CivUniverse]] or [[Devoted Hell]] in the interim. In Hell, many Narans composed the successful nation of [[Inferno]] while waiting for a more serious, stable server to release. This did not occur until the announcement of [[CivMC]] in early 2022. With CivEx out of the picture, Nara was merged under 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.

=====Noto Peninsula=====

=====Noto Peninsula =====

North of Shiroyama lays the Noto peninsula, flanked by the diverging rivers Ebi and Beartooth. It is the northernmost geographical region of Shiroyama, reaching a northern extremity at Noto Point, the tip of the peninsula. There is a small, unincorporated agricultural community on the peninsula. Notable features include the headquarters of the Naran Agricultural Department and its expansive farm, spanning the entire northern half of the peninsula. It produces mass quantities of products to be used both nationally and abroad. A lighthouse is planned to be built on Noto Point.

==== '''Ichinokawa''' ====

===='''Ichinokawa'''====

Ichinokawa is a village in the central birch forest of Nara. It is home to Paragonius, and is a popular destination for visitors looking to get away from dense urban areas. Ichinokawa is also the base of operations for the Puzzles brewery.

=== '''Feudal System''' ===

==='''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~~.

Nara is a Feudalist Shogunate led by Shikken [[SwordMaster7777]]. Reporting to the Shikken is his Rensho, [[Prawny331]], the nation's second-in-command. The rest of the Naran government is made up of the Komuin, who oversee specific parts of the government.

====Komuin of Citizen Management====

Also to be part of the government will be Samurai and Daimyo as the need arises.

Handles recruitment, plot assignment, coordination of zoning, and promotion from resident to citizen, works with the population to ensure citizens are happy and having fun. Currently held by [[Bronnakus]] from the server's launch.

==== Komuin of the Interior====

⚫

=== '''International Relations''' ===

Coordinates management of natural resource gathering and farming, as well as all land either reserved for national parks or not currently part of a city/village. Initially held by dynamiczbee, who stepped down in late July to be replaced by [[Greltam]].

⚫

Nara has a very close relationship with the bordering nation of [[Dalgon]]. This is due to the fact that the Shikken [[SwordMaster7777]] is a good friend of the founder of Dalgon, [[fredhun14]]. This close allyship also assisted both nations during the [[CivMC]] launch as they could guard each other's backs from the roaming players at the time, merging their territory until official claims maps could be posted, although this did lead to some confusion with many people believing that the two separate nations were but one.

====Komuin of the Treasury====

Oversees shop creation and maintenance, promotes Naran business internationally and encourages businesses to open in Nara in coordination with Citizen Management, identifies opportunities for economic cooperation and works with Infrastructure to develop trade routes and ease travel, controls national currency should the need for one arise. Initially held by [[Ukai]], who also stepped down in late July so that [[JeyHey]] could shuffle from the defunct position of Komuin of Infrastructure

====Naran Infrastructure Committee====

Initally a full Komuin role, the position was transitioned into a joint citizen committee to oversee public infrastructure works such as roads, rails and bridges. This committee is currently chaired by [[Asakuun]], along with [[HPLaptop]] and [[MythicPatronymic]].

This alliance is yet to be formalised, but has been named the Dalgon-Nara Alliance, or DNA.

Nara maintains friendly relations with all of its neighbors, and generally remains neutral on the world stage. Shiroyama hosts a consulate for each of the member nations of the Arsenio Pact, and rail connections to neighbors are an ongoing project.

Naran culture is built on two pillars:

# Vibing

#Vibing

# Environmentalism

#Environmentalism

Vibing has been integral to the foundation of Nara ever since its roots in the [[Far Seas Alliance]], with Shikken [[SwordMaster7777]] leading the nation of [[Vibeville]]. As a principle, Nara does not seek out war with other nations, nor does it engage in wanton expansion. Nara claims that its national interests are to harmonize with its neighbors, to cooperate thoroughly, and to prioritize industry.

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 ==

==Economy==

[[File:NotoPoint.png|thumb|The Naran Agricultural Department's Noto Farmland]]

Nara boasts an agrarian economy with an increasing rate of industrialization. The majority of jobs are currently in construction, with mining and farming being other popular choices. 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, obsidian, and honey. Presently, there is no official currency of Nara, with most shops trading in iron and diamonds.
