== Formation ==
Sovia was formed on Devoted 2.0 on the 1st of May 2016 by Henry_VIII and Laikalike. The nation was mainly composed of newfriends, until a brewer called Pirater from the cities of Vegas and Red Sand decided to help them and join. Due to the admins setting one of the spawn regions near Sovia, Sovia had a rather large population of over 20 people at its peak. What made Sovia unique is that there was no cohesive theme for the city, and it was originally a mix of Medieval and Communist architecture (despite being a Monarchy). A distinctive landmark of Sovia was the Obsidian Tower, with the trench and bastions provided by ashnwill and the tower built by Pirater. Originally, Sovia was renowned for its seed industry (which eventually was replaced with the string industry by Pirater in Civclassics 2.0).
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
While Sovia did not have an actual nation on here by the name of Sovia, they had a small Illuminati which was fairly active - however it was not yet as big as the Illuminati we all know and love. Pirater was in Aegis near the start of the server, however decided later on to move to Mt. Augusta, where Pirater and Tomw9981 (another active Sovian) decided to construct a really huge house. This annoyed a lot of people, which drove Pirater into exile in the house due to fear of getting murdered. Here, Pirater began some of the most influential books and devised some of the most influential ideas in Civcraft history. The idea of the Piraterocracy was groundbreaking, and eventually found its way into Sovia. The nation of Fremdberg was a Sovian Front in the Shrek Shard, and this is where Pirater lived after [[Mount Augusta]]. People such as The_Hobbyist and many others tried to get Pirater kicked out of Mt. Augusta due to the fact Pirater was part of Aegis earlier on and they don't like the huge house built by the two remaining Sovians. Eventually, the server closed and Sovia moved to Devoted 3.0.

== Golden Age of Sovia ==
Around 2018-2019, Sovia gradually picked up pace and reached ~155 members (rounded up to a multiple of 155). Sovian Culture gained worldwide recognition, and Sovia now has land and a lucrative String Industry. Many Sovians are amongst the wealthiest players on the server. Sovia now has embassies in several cities, and is held in the minds of many as one of the greatest and most influential nations in all of Civ History. Never before has a nation brought so many people from each side of every conflict together while also staying true to its ideals and history. Sovia is one of the few nations preserved for years through (mainly) the work of one person and their supporters. The Sovian Quarter was established in Mt. Augusta, where you can buy things from Pirater and wjkroeker. There was a small coup, but Sovian Agent perriwinkleblast managed to pearl the perpetrator and restore order. The culture of Sovia is so influential, one of the server's brews (Sovian Chorus Ale) was named after it. Through complex 4D chess strategies, Sovian Leader Pirater became First Lady of [[Mount Augusta]] temporarily (through marriage to Godomasta), Oligarch of Sovia-Verda, and leader of The Rift. The great nation of Sovia now dedicates its time to spreading wholesome values across the server and is dedicated to the principles of truth and justice. <br />
== Nyasaland attack ==
Line 77:
This attack was staged by Soviakorps (a seperate entity to the State of Sovia), who (allied with the channers), joined in on the Channer attacks on Nyasaland. These attacks were an attempt to free Lakuupiippu from Nyasaland, where he had justly been imprisoned for a few months. After dealing severe damage to the city of Palgrave, Pirater (ordered by Tacilus) had fled to the closest vault on the radar trying to exchange the pearl of vriskalicious, knowing that no matter the direction taken it would result in certain death (there was little room for potions, as the Sovians each carried half-full inventories of TNT, leaving only room for essentials). Despite doing rather little damage which was repaired in a few days, the Sovians were sentenced to multiple month sentences, originally 9, however they were eventually reduced. Pirater had recieved sentences from both Mir and Nyasaland, which may potentially last up to 5 months combined.
Sadly (or gladly for the [[United Northern Congress]] (UNC)), Pirater was pearled by marcox18 while trying to find somewhere relatively secure to attempt to ransom the pearl for GamePhobic (a Soviakorps Fighter pearled after lagging out in the Palgrave attack). After this point, several individual Sovians carried out an obsidian bombing of [[Crowsroost]], capital of Sovia-Verda, as a way to prevent it being used by invading forces. Nyasaland had mistook the involvement of 1 resident/leader (out of 3) of Sovia-Verda meant the whole nation was involved, invading a mainly innocent nation for the actions of one of its members. Sovia-Verda had fallen with no resistence, due to the remaining 6 Sovia-Verdans lacking prot and adequate gear to launch an uprising. The lands were granted to the inactive former Queen Magmus, who had previously resigned from the throne and had been replaced by the Oligarchy. However, after the attack on Rhodesia, SwiftFizz was kicked out of UNC - and decided to make the nation of New Sovia in the +- with Pirater.▼

== New Sovia ==
[[File:Sovian Citizen stands off against imperialist..png|thumb|New Sovia Citizen (GamePhobic) observes trespassing imperialist (KimIlSung) in New Sovia.]]
The nation of New Sovia is lead by SwiftFizz, with Pirater as monarch (as dictated by Sovian tradition). Standing alone against intimidation against imperialists and the majority of the world, New Sovia has continued to prosper. The number one export of New Sovia is memes, with number two as military innovation. New Sovia is a leader when it comes to innovative technology which may in the future of Civ be Meta-Changing. The New Sovians are isolationists, jaded by the cruelty of the world and Nyasaland's imperialist invasion of Sovia-Verda. They are peacefully trying to live, despite the world being against them. They hope to be a world-leading nation within the next few months, and once all members are unpearled, they can hopefully live free of conflict in their homeland, without being forced out by brutish invaders once more. With the renowned Sovian Work Ethic, which has compelled nations such as Rhodesia and Pirates (from Devoted 2.0) to employ Sovian workers, it is guaranteed that
