====== Icenia at the Gensokyo Olympics ======
Icenia made her first appearance at an international event during this time at the Gensokyo Olympics, which resulted in one silver medal being one by ChrisChrispie in chess. More notable during the event however was the slaughter of an Icenian in the Gensokyo Olympic Arena by FourofFive, Bloomian Parliament member ThirdofFive's brother. Event security quickly apprehended the assailant and the pearl was sent to Hjaltland for a week. Icenians competed in most of the events at the Gensokyo Olympics.
====== Continued Population Expansion and Creation of Oak Row ======
By this time, Icenia had become known around the server as one of the main destinations for new players, and eventually started gaining non-chan members into its folds. The result of this immigration was the creation of the "Oak Row" district, more or less a slum of houses located behind the now abandoned LordCheiftain tower, which had remained empty since Lord moved to his estate near Old Titan in Icenia. During Icenia's early days, the land where Oak Row was cleared of trees and flattened to make way for a fortified Yoahtl style village, however this never came into fruition and the result was land perfect for placing newfriends upon. Some newfriends that came during this era were Timbez, PaintedWolf666, Alphagale, and most infamously, sk8terg8tr, whos first actions upon joining Icenia were to raid Ram Ranch.
Oak Row was soon considered by many to be a massive eyesore in the shadow of the Icenian downtown, which by May was almost fully built and many advocated for tearing down the homes there and making pre-built apartments for these players instead, however this never came about. It is notable that no resident of Oak Row has ever maintained Icenian elected office, as most elected officials from Icenia come from more affluent regions such as Stone Row (Anvil, Quanton_Biscut), JQ (Figasaur, Enforcer, ChrisChrispie), or Versailles Loop (Soundtech, Azu).
