Pacem, formally the Free-City of Pacem, is a small to medium size city-state in the -,+ (South-West) quadrant of the map. The city was founded on June 12th, 2017 as an independent nation, joining greater Yoahtl as an autonomous town in May, 2019.

Pacem’s population is composed of a strong community of players, having played together on several other civilisation servers including CivEx, CivCraft and SovAsc, concentrating on architecture, culture and diplomacy.

The city is built around early 20th Century urban architecture including a skyscraper filled skyline and various examples of Art Deco, Beaux Arts and Neo-Classical styles.

The Grand Pacem Hotel

The hotel, which is the largest within Pacem, was one of the first structures to be built within the city and carries the famous “PACEM” sign facing the Frederic Bastiat bridge. The hotel contains a simple reception area downstairs, followed by 4 floors of hotel rooms. In total, the hotel can house 24 guests.

Emperor Enterprises Tower

The Emperor Enterprises Tower serves as the headquarters of Emperor Enterprises, one of Pacem’s largest construction companies owned by Shtim and Rambete. The tower, although always under redevelopment, contains several floors full of offices, meeting rooms and reception desks.

Herbert Spencer Tower

Formerly known as the “Pacem Executive Tower”, Herbert Spencer tower is the tallest structure within the city. Built in the neo-gothic style, the tower provides visitors with unobstructed 360 degree views of Pacem.

The tower’s namesake, Herbert Spencer, was an English classic liberal economist and philosopher.

Frederic Bastiat Bridge

The Bastiat bridge provides a connection between Pacem proper and the wider city. The classic suspension bridge, stylised after the Brooklyn Bridge, was designed by Ral6011 and Shtim and has become an icon for the city of Pacem.

The bridge’s namesake, Frederic Bastiat, was a French classic liberal economist.

Ayn Rand Pacem Opera House

The Ayn Rand opera house, also known as the Pacem Grand Hall, is the largest structure outside of Pacem proper. The opera house is home to a ballroom, the Fountainhead restaurant and bar, a ticket office, several lounges and the main theatre; which can house up to 80 players spread over the stalls, balconies and private boxes.

The opera house’s namesake, Ayn Rand, was a Russian-American objectivist philosopher and author.
