Line 9:
Later nations came and went without leaving their mark on the town. The nation of [[Wallachia]] claimed the land on 7th September 2018, and the nation of [[Highrock]], led by Krypticly, Sladerish, and EvasiveObject, claimed the land on the 11th September 2019. By early 2020, however, Highrock appeared inactive and after the nation did not post updated claims during a review of territory claims in January 2020, the city of Amsterdam was once again marked as uninhabited. A sign left in one of the dry canals reading '#RestoreAmsterdam' gave some indication of the intent of these later nations.
In February 2020, territory to the town's west was claimed as an exclave of the rapidly-growing [[Grand Imperium (CivClassic 2.0)|Grand Imperium]], and in late February, after surveying the abandoned town, Emperor [[Attoprak]] formally extended Grand Imperium claims to cover the town. Grand Imperium citizens set to work immediately, clearing grief blocks and repairing damaged houses. The original houses were preserved to keep the memory of this small but beautiful and peaceful place alive, and new buildings were raised up to complete what the people of the Revolutionary Confederation, Wallachia and Highrock had started.

The city takes inspiration from Dutch cities, with extensive canals, tall gabled 'grachtenpand' terraces and scenic bridges. The city today is largely abandoned after the inactivity of the Grand Imperium; it had within it structures of varied use, including a station, inn, library, shrine, embassy, bank, post office and many houses for workers, all decorated in the black-cyan-white tricolor of the Imperium. The city was renamed New-Amsterdam to mark its rebirth. A train line from Lusitania's capital of Portucale had been under construction prior to it's inactivity.
On June 4th 2021, [[Lumière]] was publicly claimed, with Nouvelle-Amsterdam lying within the center of its claims.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/nrye6u/claims_of_the_consulate_of_lumi%C3%A8re/</ref> It was renamed to "Nouvelle-Amsterdam" on the
