Rain began CivRealms wanting to build, make friends, organize, and in his words ''“unite the server’s leftists”.'' His goal on the server was try to “ideologically win”,{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}} and decided to build a nation to present as a threat on the server.

=== Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) ===

{{Main|Industrial Workers of the World}}

On the January 23^rd, 2020 Rain established the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] (IWW), an organization of anarchist, socialist, and communist countries on the northern continent of Napistan, though the anarchist part is disputed due to later events. Rain chose this area as the northern continent of Napistan was largely unclaimed compared to the rest of the world.

When the IWW was declared on the 23rd of January, Rain recruited players to join the server and began to set up communes in the region, and the Communes of Tolstoy and Vescau, which was later renamed as Exarchos. were established. At the time, Rain didn’t possess a PC and could only encourage players to move up to the northern continent.

When Rain was again able to play, he moved to Tolstoy. He participated in the excavation of a canal to provide easy travel under the North-East Waterways Organization (NEWO),

Later, Rain begun a recruitment campaign utilizing the Anarchist Communist Association discord. Along with Reddit posts, the IWW quickly grew despite accusations of spam.{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}}

The IWW was a very loose and disorganized group as many did not fully understand the mechanics present on CivRealms. This later lead to the easy bombing of Tolstoy by PartyAnimal with Rain and EmDubleYou were pearled during the bombing. Allies{{who}} came and removed the obsidian and freed Rain and Ems’ pearls, but the city would go into a period of decline.

Greenland threatened the IWW if it did not leave its surrounding land in the center-south of Napistan on the coast. However, players who ran Greenland quit{{citation needed}} and the IWW extended its claims farther south gaining a carrot farm in the south as a result. While this resulting in a small conflict with farms by MCSPenguin and negotiations were held, Rain decided to try clearing Penguin's bastions in the region. After being caught by Penguin he was pearled. Rain claims that he was trying to build a railroad in the area but these claims have been proven to be false by other accounts. He was pearled for griefing said bastioned land for two weeks.

The IWW decided to use this time to create a new role conduct diplomacy, trade, and organization in the IWW named the "Union Organizer" or UO, a democratically elected position.

Many folks including Rain, Freezor, Ian, Pierre, and Hiduck ran for the new position. Initially, the opposition was divided between the latter three initially. However, it was discovered Rain was vote-stuffing by means of inviting new and inactive members from ACA to vote in the IWW election. The result of the discovery of Rain’s voter fraud attempts led to the Crab Coup. Despite his attempts at ballot stuffing the election results did come in, Rain had only gotten 20% of the vote compared to the Crab Coalition’s 80%.

At the end of the day Rain did honor the vote and transferred ownership of the IWW. In spite of this he attempted to undermine the new leadership as well as spam shit tier memes. This ended up with him getting banned from the IWW discord. After which he’d end up making a [https://archive.vn/5RMvx long reddit post] which was received negatively by the IWW and the server as a whole.[[File:ProIWWmeme.jpg|500px|thumb|right|A meme created by RainOfPain125 to criticize the nations that came out of the Duckapore-IWW schism several months after his ousting.]] {{cleanup rewrite}}

After being democratically defeated, Rain was ousted and banned from the IWW after attempting to undermine the new leadership and spamming the IWW discord. He left Napistan with two supporters.{{who}}

After leaving Napistan, Rain would end up settling in [[Norlund]]. This was suggested by a user named 1234fireball who suggested to him that he should create a town and petition to become a municipality within Norlund. He would end up founding the Paris Commune and the Black Internationale while in Norlund.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ga9kly/what_we_proclaim_is_the_right_to_wellbeing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 RainOfPain125 publicly declaring the the Black Internationale on r/CivRealms]</ref>

While the Paris Commune was accepted into the government itself,{{when}} Rain would immediately face opposition from the majority of Norlund. While this caused widespread public outcry, King Terry of Norlund at the time, reacted with indifference. When King Terry of Norlund could no longer play CivRealms, a referendum was held in which ShamelessShamus became the King of Norlund. As a result of an argument and annexation of Paris Commune territory, Shamus pearled Rain. This was seen as a controversial move at the time within Norlund due to Rain being a Norlish citizen and the pearling being an extrajudicial killing.{{citation needed}} It would come to be known as "[[Norlund#The King's Crime|"The King's Crime"]]," result in King Shamus being removed from power within Norlund.

Around the same time as the bombing of CivCorp on September 25^th, 2020, other citizens of the Paris Commune fought Norlund after the government designated the area to Newfriend homes on top of the Paris Commune. Because the area was not bastioned the griefing could be executed with ease. The property of countless newfriends and their homes were destroyed as a result of the uprising. With Rain and the Paris Commune finally getting banned from CivRealms.{{why}}
