====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 [[Civcraft2Import:Groups/alliances/u3p|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.

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.
The capitol city and once seat of the Volantian Khingus was called Endeavor. Occupying a northern valley on the main island of the Volans Endeavor was settled by citizens of diverse small nations from 2.0, the different groups settled in different parts of the valley giving the alpine town different feelings around a similar theme. In the center of town was the White Cross building which was connected to the Khingus' castle the castle was built at the bottom of the valley and connected the town market to the towns undercity which was extensive and threatened sudden drops to the void below. On the West side of town settled the former citizens of Churchill, Blackcrown, and Pella as well as some new friends calling themselves the Knights of ??(i forget)??. In the East settled the former inhabitants of Little Latvia,
Nova Danzilona was built along the portal to Rokko Steppe where several warlike factions had established themselves early. One of these factions, known as Croc Island would cross into the Volans and establish a tree farm over the void. Not only did this violate the sovereignty of the Volantians but it was an affront to the Goddess of the Void, Vo, whom the locals respected and feared. Political negotiations began between the Volantians and the Islanders.
It was about this time that Lord_Pericorp split the southern neighborhood of Endeavor from the rest of the city to avoid the politics of the neighborhood feuds (he claimed).
Negotiations with the Crocs broke down following their decision to violate the terms which had tentatively been agreed upon and built a pylon in the mountains near Cascade. A council of the Volantian cities was called and by collective decision secret operatives were tasked with destroying the foreign infrastructure.
In response the Crocs sent a punitive expidition to Nova Danzilona, terrorizing the inhabitants and attempting to pearl anyone caught outside. As a representative of Endeavor, Pythius_ (then known by an older account name), negotiated an end to the raid with the Croc leader in the NDZ Hotel.
Only a few days later it was discovered that Glenroe had used the chaos as an opening to sell out the rest of the Volantians to another faction from the Rokko Steppe. When this was discovered a mob assembled in downtown Endeavor, leaders of the neighborhood gangs reached an agreement known as the White Cross Accords. The mob meanwhile descended upon Glenroe tearing up the farm and houses of Lord_Pericorp and his brother. As the riot continued wiping all evidence of the would be town from the map warriors from Rokko Steppe entered Endeavor, and intimidated the crowd into dispersal.
Due to these incursions by imperial powers, a new organization took shape. Uniting the anarchist commune of Girane with the Baltic Bambinos and a faction of Danzilonan socialist, the Volantian Liberation Front was dedicated to physically confronting those that would try to make the Volans a colonized shard. Their message was simple, keep the Volans for Volantians; their methods were even simpler as they would go on to manually dig through the reinforced tree farm of the Croc Islanders.
Before this escalation could be responded to however, ttk2 decided to pull the plug on 3.0 One day the server was running and active, the next gone forever.
The U3P would drift once more before settling on Provincia Isle in civclassics, but never again would the group reach its former heights.
