===The Ruin Event===
The weekend of July 4th 2018 would go down as the worst attack on threeper civilization since ReCharge attacked New Danzilona. It would become known as the "Ruin Event" or by some the "Nazi Bombing of Threepton" and no other attack on the U3P had ever so devastated the resilient population.[[File:Modern Threepton.png|alt=Middle Threepton April 2021|thumb|435x435px|Threepton in Spring '21]]At least 2 accounts attacked the Provincian capital destroying the governments national storeroom letting the contents of over 160 doublechests despawn. DRO swastikas and other less focused reinforced grief coated the settlement. Special attention was devoted to the cities cemetary where tombstones were torn up, crypts were looted, and a large swastika was constructed in DRO atop a memorial to fallen threeptonians.
International aid quickly was dispatched to assist in the clearing of debris and the rebuilding of destroyed pieces. Special thanks are found in the hearts of all Provincians former and past to the citizens of [[Pripyat]], [[Lenin Isle]], [[Maltovia]], [[Rowa]], [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|Mount Augusta]], [[Hjaltland]], and more who participated in the reconstruction efforts. The tragedy in Threepton would become one of the driving causes for the creation of the [[SESU]] and its successors which exist to this modern day.
Unforunately the destruction of the Ruin Event and the extent of its griefing was so severe that the population of Provincia abandoned the city for a time. Some moved to Pripyat and Mount Augusta, some in the isolated hinterlands of rural Provincia, but most abandoned the server entirely.
===A Legacy of Vibes===

Following the devestation of the Ruin Event and the collapse of the [[SESU]] the remaining population in Provincia held a referendum which passed unanimously to join the [[Pripyat|New Republic of Pripyat]]. This unity state would go on to accomplish many great works and builds but the Provincians always remained the all but abandoned junior partner.
For a long period of time this status of inactivity would persist until in the late winter of 2021 a group of Pripyatins and Provincians logged on for a nostalgic tour of the Oblasts. A spirited game of hockey lasted late into the night and at least some Provincians have been playing consistently since.

New constructions have been undertaken as long dormant accounts revived to complete projects long abandoned. More buildings broke ground in the Southbank neighborhood of Threepton, and the waters of the Jumis River were corralled to create Lake Sochi. The rail station was renovated integrating goldblock elevators and the expanded Threepton Basin from which an expanded network of canals began development. Track improvements on the eastern line expanded service past Crescent Valley to Swineport and Idol Island where an epic statue stands above the mesa.

Provincia can be reached by rail from Pripyat, Caledonia, and the Entran Republic among others. A great number of docks along the waters surrounding the archipelago are available, and a north-south canal runs below Threepton through Provincia Isle. Horse tunnel connections to Pripyat and other locations exist as well.

[[File:OblastProvincia.png|alt=District map of Oblast Provincia|thumb|Only map permitted by the current government in Provincia|400x400px]]
With a number of local dining, and lodging establishments Oblast Provincia is a great place for tours or simply entertainment. Hockey and Indoor Water sports can be easily accommodated at the Sports Park; and longer more difficult boat races or competitions can be held on Lake Sochi. Stay at the ThreeptInn or the Latvian Youth Hostel or invest in a timeshare by contacting one of Provincias tourism representatives. Take in the rich history and learn at the Civcraft Heritage Society and the Endeavor Institute or enjoy the nightlife along scenic Phoenix Way. Make a pilgrimage to the grand Idol or see the mysterious Duck Plaza. Get lost in the historic Undercity and see if you can solve old king Ninjajack's mystery and find his treasure. Take in the scenic parks of the Wildlands or Grizzly Point then enjoy the marvelous Botanical Gardens of the Dutchfriends in downtown Threepton. There is always something to do or see in this little pocket of magic in the exotic Plus Plus.

====Origins and early history====
[[File:U3pmaxext2point0.jpg|alt=|thumb|U3P at Maximum Size in 2.0|594x594px]]The Plus Plus of 2.0 had long been host to a number of small and medium sized settlements which could provide varying levels of security to their citizens. Though others in the past had tried and failed the King of Pella was fixated on the idea to unite the region and in doing so become the Emperor of a grand and powerful polity. His attempts to create an empire failed but in the face of growing raid threats from marauding HCF clans a loose understanding eventually grew until the signing of the Clocktower Accords and the establishing of the United Provinces of the Plus Plus (or U3P).
The initial membership consisted of the Pellan Kingdom, the Republic of Churchill, the Kingdom of Blackcrown, the Kingdom of Eclipse, the Wander Association, and the [[Danzilona|Danzilonan Federation]]. At its greatest extent membership consisted of 13 Plus Plus nations with over 40! total citizens, a robust understanding of mutual economic and security partnerships lead by a Secretary General and a Secretary of Defense.
The group became well known primarily through its friendly inhabitants and the exciting hockey league it played host to. But not all good things last, internal differences lead to some nations leaving the organization to chart new paths. Other nations lapsed into inactivity for months at a time.
===Civcraft 3.0===

====The Volans====
Line 82 ⟶ 80:
A large group struck out together with the launching of the map and within 12 hours of launch had begun to settle the town of First Hearth on the shard of the Volans. From this start the towns of Nova Danzilona, Endeavor, and Whisper were all founded.
The lands of the Volans were harsh but its people survived and began to rely on the void which defined this floating mountainous shard. With their common heritage the now Volantians were ruled over by the old King of Blackcrown,
The Volantians developed the strange islands of the shard adding the settlements of Cascadia, Girane, and Glenroe as well as a small outpost on the swamp shard of Drankontis.
The Volantian Threepers would eventually overthrow the [[Battle of the Pub|Khingus in a violent revolution]] and install socialist governments across the shard. These new governments would seek comrades in the Drakontis and Abydos shards. Together with the socialist Parties of Mount Augusta and Volterra an [[International Workers of Civcraft]] was created. This grand alliance of many socialist nations and parties was a high point in socialist power in Civcraft history. [[File:Endeavor at night.png|thumb|Endeavor Image|676x676px]]First Hearth was the initial settlement site of the Volans and all Volantian settlements on 3.0 trace their roots from the Grand Warren at First Hearth. When various peoples moved from First Hearth it remained inhabited by a committed few who in fact built the bulk of the roads around the islands of the Volans.
Cascadia was a small settlement perched high on mountain in the far north of the Volans. Here a raging waterfall thundered and the airdocks hosted zeppelins.
