It later became a province of [[Yoahtl]]. ==History== [[File:Odresh Claims December 2019.png\|thumb\|Odresh's claims as of February 2020 (Outdated, see 'Unclaiming of Odresh')]] === Pre-CivClassics === ==== Devoted ==== Line 20 ⟶ 35: ==== Odresh-Phylon Conflict ==== ''Main article: [[Odresh-Phylon Conflict]]'' In December 2018, the first section of the previously mentioned rail to the NCA was completed, going from Odresh City to the nation of Phylon. The F.A.R. at the time, Lokilog, had thought the nation to be inactive, due to it's absence from the claims maps and the fact that many of the city's buildings had been broken into, and so the citizens Odresh voted to annex the island 4-2. A few weeks later, a snitch was discovered on the rail near Phylon's station. Upon breaking it, it was discovered that the snitch was placed by OLivay. He was confronted about the situation, and after declaring Phylon to be an active nation, he quickly restricted the city. A few days later, Lokilog and Crusher went to check if any more snitches had been placed, and after finding none, decided to explore the island. They eventually found their way into the rail station, and from there, Phylon's storage area. The small check had turned into a raid, and so Lokilog and Crusher broke into a few chests and destroyed a few noteblock snitches. After realizing OLivay was online, they left the island with three splash potions of healing. Upon returning to Odresh, they knew that a raid was imminent, and so they dropchested their valuables. Indeed, almost immediately after, five raiders from Phylon showed up, pearling Crusher and logboxing Lokilog in the community center. They alerted their friends in Okashima, who asked for assistance from Vinland. They set out to free Lokilog, but most of them didn't know that Phylon's raid had been justified. Upon reaching Odresh, they broke and logbox and freed Lokilog, who escaped and logged out in the NYC station. Over the next two weeks, a trial was held with Askedar as judge, who sentenced Lokilog and Crusher to two weeks in prison pearl. The only reps sentenced were the three potions, the blocks broken, the reinforcement materials, and the mana costs for the two weeks Lokilog and Crusher would spend in prison pearl. Line 27 ⟶ 44: ==== Province of Yoahtl ==== In September 2019, [~~https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ISQdx-HjCt06kJHVk9RgsPoUEOImEVmb1DdxsxBgMT8/edit?usp=sharing~~[Treaty of Odresh\|Odresh joined Yoahtl]] as a non-autonomous town, meaning that Odresh gives up the freedom to form military alliances and agreements with other nations without Yoahtlan consent in return for mutual defense and close economic and legal integration. Odresh also has the right to secede at any time.[[File:Crusher Apartments.png\|thumb\|A screenshot of Crusher Apartments after the attack. It suffered the most damage from the September 23rd raid of any structure in the city.]] ==== September Raids ==== [[File:Odresh City Greif.png\|thumb\|A screenshot of Odresh City after the September 24th raid, taken from the floating island at the northern edge of the city.]]From September 20th-24th, Odresh experienced three raids in rapid succession which quickly became known as the September Raids. While no one was pearled, and material loses were minimal, Odresh City's infrastructure was decimated by repeated TNT detonations. The first raid was minor, when Brsxoi entered the city and broke open all houses, stealing whatever valuables remained in the city. After a period of long inactivity, Lokilog logged on soon after and saw this, reported it to Crusher, and then disconnected for the day. On Monday, September 23rd, at approximately 3:51 PM EST, likely alt IkChapDollo repeatedly detonated TNT around the city, wreaking havoc on all structures. While buildings like the Community Center emerged relatively unscathed, places like Crusher Apartments were reduced to crumbling walls. The next day, n8mastercrafter placed major grief around the city, with small pillars of lava and water falling from the tops of buildings, and pumpkins scattered around the city, though they were not reinforced. This was quickly cleaned up, and is best summarized by [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d8vnty/odresh_attacked_once_more/ Lokilog's raid announcement on reddit], in which he said "This one hasn't really changed anything? It just gave us a bunch of pumpkins." By the end of the night, most of the damage to the city from both the 23rd and 24th raids had been cleaned up, with the only major exception being Crusher Apartments. It was intentionally left in this state, as there were talks of turning it into a memorial after the city was rebuilt. The residences of both Lokilog and Crusher were torn down, the first buildings to go in the planned period of demolition and subsequent reconstruction envisioned by Crusher after the Sept. 23rd raid. At this point, the raids had caused players from across Yoahtl to pitch into the effort to help Odresh. After the Sept. 23rd raid, 300 diamond bounties were put on both Brsxoi and IkChapDollo, but now military action was being taken. Tlanexcui was stationed in Odresh, ready to log in and attack if necessary, while progress on an ice road to between Odresh and Yoahtl proper saw great advancement. Furthermore, a massive care package was being put together to help the city recover, while Okato Shipping [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d8l3pc/introducing_okato_shipping_services/ announced] that they would provide free deliveries to [[Icenia]] (which had also experienced raids) and Odresh for the rest of the month. Talk also shifted to ''why'' this was happening, and why they kept coming back to an already-ruined city. Odresh simply hadn't done anything to provoke these attacks. At present, no perpetrator has been determined, though it is suspected that all attacks are alts from one player or group. Finally, the next day, Crusher and Lokilog successfully pearled the raider as they attempted to place grief in the early morning. This ended the September Raids, and began the period of reconstruction in which most buildings were torn down and replaced. This period of reconstruction ended halfway through completion due to, once more, inactivity. ==== Reconstruction ==== Line 38 ⟶ 56: # Recruitment: Once phases one and two have been completed, the final step in Reconstruction will be to recruit newfriends. Lokilog has stated that he wants to build a solid community in Odresh, and so made recruitment a central goal of reconstruction. In addition, new citizens will solidify the province as an active part of Yoahtl and the server as whole, while ensuring that it will not fall into inactivity as it has so many times before. ==== A New Capital ==== ~~<br />~~ In what could be considered the 'exit' phase of Reconstruction, work began on a new city located the desert region to the east. This was partly due to a desire to move the capital city to a settlement other than Odresh City, given its chronic stagnation and poor builds. It was also seen as a sort of revival project, a plan to boost activity, draw in new citizens, and give the province a settlement to show off to the world. In early 2020, Lokilog began testing builds in singleplayer creative worlds, and began construction on CivClassics in mid-February. During this time period, Odresh also purchased Phylon from Adina, a somewhat interesting end point more than a year after the Odresh-Phylon Conflict. ====CivRealms 2.0==== ''Main article: [[Odresh (CivRealms 2.0)]]'' ==== Unclaiming of Odresh ==== Sometime in 2021, Yoahtl gave up every Odreshi province aside from Odresh City and Phylon the original the claimed area when the nation was first established. They did this because they were giving up unused land to justify claiming land west of New Yoahtl City for farming purposes. == Districts == [[File:Odresh Districts 3-3.png\|thumb\|440x440px\|Districts of Odresh, March 2020]] === ~~Odresh City (OC)~~Entura === Previously known as simply 'the desert', Entura is Odresh's new capital, with a growing city on the eastern coast. Created because of Odresh City's stagnation and poor builds, work on a new capital city began in late February 2020, but was abandonded when Odresh moved to CivRealms. As of CivClassics' end, the city contains a central plaza, surrounded by a canal system and a few buildings. ~~[[File:Odresh Districts Reupload.png\|alt=\|thumb\|440x440px\|The districts of mainland Odresh, January 2020.]]~~ Unsurprisingly, the district of Odresh City contains the captial of the province with the same name. OC is a relatively small town with less than 15 structures and only about 5 residents. However, it contains the only two routes out of Odresh, the underground rail, and the Urbania-OC-Phylon rail, although the latter is of little use ''(see Phylon Rail for more details)''. ~~[[File:Batavia December 2019.png\|thumb\|A view of Batavia in December 2019, taken from the nearby cliffs.]]~~ === Batavia === [[File:Batavia December 2019.png\|thumb\|A view of Batavia in December 2019, taken from the nearby cliffs.]] Batavia, consisting solely of the tundra biome, is the most developed section of Odresh. Before Odresh was founded, it was populated by the nation of Batavia. In their absence, the land was annexed, leading to a rapid expansion of the farmland for XP production and the construction of a large castle, inspired by the castle on Okato, Okashima. In summer 2019, the original Batavis returned, and a treaty was signed that allowed the Batavis to essentially rule the territory as they pleased, as long as nothing they did conflicted with national laws, and they did not touch the castle or XP farms. Months later, when all members of the NCA had been annexed ([[Okashima]], [[Vinland]], and Odresh joined [[Yoahtl]] while [[Maltovia]] joined the C.C.C.P.), these farms were more or less unless to Odresh, and so there were no objections when Batavia replaced them with wheat and potato farms. More recently, however, there has been tension over the castle, as there have been multiple incidents of Batavis entering in violation of the treaty. While the debate has yet to escalate anywhere near military conflict, it remains a point of contention. [[Batavia]], consisting solely of the tundra biome, was the most developed section of Odresh.

[[File:Odresh Districts Civball.png\|thumb\|442x442px\|A civball depiction of the districts of Odresh by Lokilog. The annexed territories of Phylon and Batavia use their respective flags.]] Besides the castle, Batavia is home to a medium-sized, European-themed town. As opposed to the simple builds of Odresh City, Batavian structures have fine much finer detail and create a very different environment. Cobblestone towers line the cliffs leading to the ocean, while another more organized town can be found filling in what used to be a bay. On December 16th, 2020, Batavia gained independence and no longer belongs to Odresh. === Odresh City (OC) === Besides the castle, Batavia is home to a medium-sized, european-themed town. As opposed to the simple builds of Odresh City, Batavi structures have fine much finer detail and create a very different enviroment. Cobblestone towers line the cliffs leading to the ocean, while another more organized town can be found filling in what used to be a bay. Unsurprisingly, the district of Odresh City contains the province's first city (not counting annexed territories) with the same name. OC is a relatively small town with less than 15 structures. However, it contains the only two rails out of Odresh, the underground rail, and the Urbania-OC-Phylon rail, although the latter is of little use ''(see Phylon Rail for more details)''. OC is also one of the endpoints of the mountain paths. === Phylon === (To be added, please check back later) === Garnet === Garnet is a relatively rural district, named after it's only settlement. The town of Garnet was founded by Big Money in mid-late 2019, and contains only a few structures in a valley. Its only connection to the rest of the nation is through the mountain paths, with were extended to connect to the town in December 2019. The rest of the district is mostly comprised of the valley floor, which remains undeveloped. === Urbania === Urbania is the largest of the six mainland districts, yet has no residents and very little infrastructure. In the southwest of the district is the abandoned city of Urbania. It is unknown who began construction here, but today, there are two unfinished government buildings. Had they been completed, it would be an impressive mark on the land. These days it is a hub for '____ was here' signs. The Urbania-OC-Phylon rail (U-OC-P) has a starting point here. However, the main feature of the district is the fact that it is more or less a large swath of rugged, mountainous terrain. This mountain biome, with covers most of Odresh, makes travel extremely difficult. As such, other than the aforementioned city, there are no settlements. The only infrastructure here is the mountain path, with provides transportation from the developed west, to the Desert. === The East === The East is the most remote district in the province. No infrastructure connects here, and the terrain is more uneven than even that of Urbania. This area has yet to be explored. == Infrastructure == === Mountain Paths === [[File:Odresh_Urbanization_February.png\|alt=\|thumb\|440x440px\|The level of development in each district, as of February 2020.]] ~~(To be added, please check back later)~~ Starting soon after the founding of Odresh, work began on a series of pathways to allow quick transportation through the mountains. The first connection was made from Odresh City to Urbania, followed by an extension deep into Urbania. There were talks about connecting to Aurora, but it is unlikely this will ever happen. Current Connections: - Odresh City - Batavia - Garnet - Entura === Underground Rail === After the Phylon Conflict ''(see above)'', the idea of an overland rail to the NCA was abandoned. Instead, a single-line rail was dug as a branch off of an existing underground rail. This is the primary form of transportation to and from Odresh, and allowed the then-nation to be accepted into the NCA. ~~(To be added, please check back later)~~ === Urbania-OC-Phylon Rail === Built as the original connection to the NCA, construction stopped after the Phylon Conflict. It runs from Urbania to Phylon, passing Odresh City on the way, but until recently the connection to Phylon was closed. However, a recent agreement with Olivay permits the Odreshi use of Phylonian farms, and so this line has once again become useful. ~~(To be added, please check back later)~~ == Politics == Line 70 ⟶ 124: ==== 2020 Reforms ==== In January 2020 a multitude of bills were put forward by Crusher and Lokilog as part of Reconstruction. Crusher introduced a series of bills that formally transferred the powers of the F.A.R. to the Governor, as well as established protocol for elections secession from Yoahtl. Meanwhile, Lokilog proposed a new system in which citizens would have to register to vote before participating in elections or voting on bills. This system would operate similarly to the [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)\|Mount Augusta]] system, in which citizens would take a picture of themselves in front of a specified landmark and post it on discord to be verified. This way, inactive citizens would be automatically removed from the pool of eligible voters. This proposal replaced the original idea of an 'inactivity vote' in which citizens would vote to strip a player of their citizenship if they were inactive. However, such a system was deemed to be too slow and tedious, as the entire community would be called on to determine the activity for every citizen in question. These bills were successfully passed in the first few weeks of the year.[[File:NCA Civball.png\|thumb\|A Civball image of the member states of the NCA, ~~designed~~created by Lokilog to celebrate Odresh joining the alliance.]] === International Relations === ==== Adina ==== Odresh and Adina have a ~~close~~friendly relationship with each other. Crusher has aided them in defense against raiders in the past, and Adina has ~~offered~~sold Phylon to ~~connect~~ Odresh ~~to their Bloom rail~~. While no official pact exists, they are generally friends on the international stage. ==== Okashima ==== Line 81 ⟶ 135: ==== Aurora ==== Aurora and Odresh maintain friendly relations, a relief for the oldfriends of Odresh who saw the chaos caused by the conflict between the first Odresh and the RSFSR. They have talked about constructing a rail line between their capital cities, and a passage through the mountains already exists. {{SATO}} {{UDF}} ~~==== Phylon ====~~ {{Sovereign States of the Southeast}} Because of the Phylon conflict, Odresh and Phylon were hostile since around the start of 2019. The Odreshi government placed a travel ban along the rail line between Phylon and Odresh City, enforced with a simple wall and sign. As time went on, this old wound slowly began to close, and given the two nations have not made any sort of contact since the conflict, they more or less ignore each other. [[Category:Civilizations]] ~~=== Settlements & Infrastructure ===~~ ~~==== Odresh City ====~~ As the capital of Odresh, Odresh City was the nation's first settlement. It has a Community Center and Factory Building, accessible by all citizens. The old Community Center was torn down after the Phylon Conflict to reveal the logbox inside, and was turned into a memorial of the event. The rest of the town is relatively small, with a small farm, a few houses, and a work-in-progress rail station. ~~[[File:Batavia 12-21-19.png\|alt=\|thumb\|Taken in December 2019, this screenshot shows the fortress, farms, and town in Batavia. This region has changed significantly since the Batavis' return.]]~~ ~~==== Batavia ====~~ Batavia was a nation in the tundra to the north of Odresh, but was annexed after they fell inactive and didn't respond to messages. During Odresh's first return to the server, the old citizens of Batavia came back, and now live as a semi-autonomous territory within Odresh. The agreement made between the two peoples allows the people of Batavia to have complete control over government, builds, laws, etc. The only exceptions to this are the Batavian Castle and the XP Farms. In addition, all national laws supersede local laws. The elevation change from mountains to tundra transportation to the mountains difficult, but a waterdrop and minecart elevator connect the area with the rest of Odresh. ~~==== Garnet ====~~ Garnet is a small town founded close to the geographic center of the province by Big Money. As a relatively new part of Odresh, and having come about in a time of inactivity, it is not a major part of the province, as its creator is its only resident. It is connected to the rest of Odresh through the footpaths. ~~==== Urbania ====~~ Connected to Odresh City by rail, Urbania was another abandoned nation directly to the east of the capital. The settlement consists of two large, incomplete government buildings. As with Batavia, it has no inhabitants. At the edge of the city, a mountain pass exists to Aurora, and talks about extending the rail have come up repeatedly. However, with Aurora mostly inactive, this seems unlikely. ~~==== Footpaths ====~~ Soon after the founding of Odresh, Lokilog began working on a series of mountain passes to connect Odresh City to other settlements and areas in the nation. At the moment, footpaths connect the Odresh City, Batavia, Garnet, and extend out to the periphery of the desert region. These paths cut across a good portion of the nation, and serve as the main route of transportation within the province. ~~=== Geography ===~~ ~~==== Mountains ====~~ Most of Odresh consists of mountainous terrain, making it hard to cross the territory quickly, though this has been lessened since the completion of the footpaths. This serves as a slight obstacle to the development of Odresh City, though given it's inactivity at the time, this does not pose any significant problem. ~~==== Tundra ====~~ To the west, the Batavian tundra forms a large, flat plain with few trees. This used to be the location of Odresh's potato, beetroot, and ice farms during the nation's growing contributions to the NCA, but was turned into a vast wheat and potato farm by the Batavis. Next to the farms, there is a large castle, which has been under development for almost a year and is nearing external completion., and a few scatted buildings from abandoned civilizations. Furthermore, a large town was constructed here by the original Batavians after their return in July 2019. It's border with both the mountains and sea are defined by tall cliffs, increasing travel times, though there is a single waterdrop and minecart elevator connecting the tundra to the mountains. ~~==== Desert ====~~ The eastern part of Odresh consists of a vast expanse of desert. As with Batavia, it's border with the mountains consists of cliffs, but is just above sea level, so travel by water is comparatively easy. However, a narrow land bridge to [[Maltovia]] means that travelers must sail around Aurora to reach the desert. The footpaths end at the border between the mountains and desert, though without a proper waterdrop to the latter, travel is still difficult and dangerous.{{Sovereign States of the Southeast}} ~~[[Category:Civilization]]~~ [[Category:In Progress]] [[Category:~~Civclassic~~Devoted 3.0]] [[Category:CivClassic 2.0]] [[Category:Southeast Countries (CivClassic 2.0)]]
