Sovia is an anarchist nation, home to many known players of the Civ genre, old and new. Across the years, it believed in the right for the self-determination and freedom of all players. It is strongly opposed to imperialist actions, thus becoming a target for various forces that wanted to destroy it. However, all attempts failed due to the Sovians' determination and strong will to resist the invaders. Up to the present day, they stand proud, unbroken by all those who opposed them but always warm to all nations that desire a peaceful and fair world.
Sovia is home to a diverse array of individuals, with varying beliefs. The welcoming nature of the nation makes it a home for people fleeing from oppression, as they historically stood against powerful foes that caused pain and despair to innocents. The Sovian heritage is impressive, containing memes, jokes and achievements such as the first XP exchange and an expansive XP industry. Despite its pacifist stance, Sovia has a prolific military, renowned for its capabilities against far greater enemies, due to the need to defend resulting from its long history of struggle.
== Etymology ==
The name ''"Sovia"'' was initially chosen during [[Devoted 2.0]] in 2016 for ambiguous reasons. It was likely chosen to project power, under the old Sovian king [[Henry_VII]] alongside leader [[Laikalike]] who ruled a constitutional monarchy under a communist aesthetic. After [[Pirater]]'s [[Sovian Re-unification|re-unification]] of the Sovian lands during Devoted 2.0, the name was retained and has stuck ever since.

== History ==
''For the history of Sovia on previous servers, read [[Sovia]] and [[Sovia (Post-CivClassic)]] ''
Even before the start of the server, the Sovians were active, especially on Discord. There, they crafted the current political system, decided on the flag and researched building styles.
===== 15th April 2022 - The Funko Pop Incident =====
Over the course of a few days, Sovians and others interacted with a user named Dyl in the CivMC discord. He posted pictures of his funko pop collection and in generally acted obnoxious and stupid towards people who disagreed with him, especially those that called him out for his Funko Pop collection and for his behaviour. On 15th April 2022, he had enough and left but not without throwing a fit at people like [[Khardbass]], [[Pirater]] and [[Yaahya]]. After that, people talked about the recent happenings and his Funko Pop collection, which he frequently brought up. Jokes were made on the subject, only for Wingzero, an admin, to ban people even remotely in the ongoing conversation. Thus, Sovians were banned. Later that evening, the [[COMRADES]] founding convention was held. There, the incident was discussed and the FunkoCoin was created as the alliance's common currency in remembrance of the event.
===== 4th June 2022 - Start of the World =====
Due to their timezone and real life duties, Sovia began playing on the second day of the server, making great progress.
== Geography ==
The Free Territory is centered around the town of Sovia City, that is practically its capital.
== Demography ==
Line 48 ⟶ 65:
Sovian culture is one of the oldest continuous cultures on the civ genre, stretching back over 6 years with the initial formation of Sovia on Devoted 2.0. Sovia is a hard-working nation, with everyone from highly skilled builders, grinders and PvPers. Historically, Sovia is a nation against hegemony, and against those who attempt to impose their will on independent nations. Anarchism is a core component of the Sovian mind, as Sovians would rather fight for their freedom than concede to the will of foreign tyrants. Despite the excellence of the [[Sovian Black Army]], fighting is often a last choice, only used in the face of attempted invasion or those who attempt to harm Sovians without due reason.
Sovians have a history of cartography, art work, civball drawing{{Cn|date=March 2022}}, propaganda designing and much more. In previous iterations, Sovia was a cultural powerhouse producing memes and propaganda at a high quality level, allowing Sovian culture to spread. The national animal of Sovia is the caracal
== Economy ==
Line 55 ⟶ 72:
Sovian culture holds an agrarian character, with farms and cities often bordering, and this integration of rural and urban creates an interesting dichotomy. In historical iterations, Sovians went as far as to have farms on their rooves, providing a green touch to the cities. This harmony between agriculture and living is essential to Sovia, as it places each citizen close to the center of the economy. XP production has been critical historically. On CivClassics 2.0, [[wjkroeker]] established the first XP Co-Operative/Exchange in [[New Sovia]]. Despite the small amount of time it lasted for (as a result of the [[World Police]] invasion), this was a game-changer for the server, with even those who disliked Sovia (such as [[Icenia|Icenians]]) adopting the system. This system allows citizens to farm ingredients, then exchanged them for emeralds. This allows citizens to specialize in a certain type of crop (e.g. Carrot Farmer), and exchange it using Item Exchanges for experience. This system was revolutionary at the time, and remains so to this day. Up until 2021, New Sovia's XP in 2019 was sold for the cheapest price possible, a whopping 1-2 diamonds less than all their competitors. Alongside this system, public farms give citizen the opportunity to make some easy XP through simply doing a small amount of farming in return for proportional XP.
During the [[Sovia (CivRev)|CivRev era]], Sovia was the birthing place of the Drigonist economical doctrine. Developed by Sovian thinker Drigon, it was a new theory that stood against the planned economies of socialist nations and the free market capitalism present in many nations on Civ. It allowed Sovia to expand industrially at an astonishing rate without having to infringe on the freedoms of its citizens. In one weekend, Sovia was able to develop the XP industry and an ore smelter on its own, except for a pickaxe donated by their close friends from [[Fortuna]]. Sovia quicly became an XP producer of higher calibre until the server went inactive.
== Politics ==
Line 61 ⟶ 80:
Sovian politics are inspired by a wide variety of political ideologies around the libertarian-left perspective. This includes Volin's Synthesis anarchism, Nestor Makhno's Free State, Leo Tolstoy's anarchism, Max Stirner's egoism, Kropotkin's bread book and more. Despite the nation being somewhat economically and culturally left wing, many right wing elements are also brought in from libertarians. This synthesis of left wing libertarianism and right wing libertarianism creates a unique culture where both sides are able to put aside their differences and have friendly relations. This pragmatic element of multiple different types of libertarianism/anarchism is what gives Sovia a unique status among the groups on the server, and what splits them from more dogmatic groups such as the IWW. There is a strong stance against actions such as perma pearling, which serve only to dullen the server, remove the homogeneity of cultures and flatten the server into a bland monoculture where everyone who takes action against an invading group is permanently pearled.
{{Infobox political party
Sovians holds many values to the forefront, such as freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom for oppression. The willingness of Sovians to be honest and stick to their values has historically created tension between those who support the traditional idea of Civ servers as ones where ideologies can clash and it's up to the players to decide punishments, and those who would like admins to ban anyone outside their preferred overton window simply for stating a viewpoint without any harassment. Sovia is unique as a nation where one can hold almost any non-authoritarian ideology and feel free to discuss/debate it among their members. Members of Sovia include groups as diverse as socialists, anarcho-primitivists, anarcho-communists, libertarians, theists, atheists and anarcho-capitalists all in pursuit of a common freedom to live their lives away from the tyranny of international power blocs. ▼
