Line 144:
Oak Row was soon considered a massive eyesore in the shadow of the Icenian downtown, which by May was almost fully built. Many advocated for tearing down the incoherent homes and making pre-built apartments for new 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 came from more affluent regions such as Stone Row (Anvil, Quanton_Biscut), JQ (Figasaur, Enforcer, ChrisChrispie), or Versailles Loop (Soundtech, Azu).

Line 162:
Fig, not knowing it was Icenia that pearled him, pleaded with the Icenian government to free him from MtA, and when the government refused, proceeded to destroy the majority of his builds downtown in rage creating an urban center that looked bombed out. It was at this point he was removed from bastions and upgraded, thus ending the JQ in Icenia forever. Figasaur would later be released when Mount Augusta would go inactive, and Cr0c remained free to roam the earth outside of Icenia.
▲=== Entrance and Victory in the Ransakistani War. ===
On December 1st, 2019 Icenia was obby bombed by VPN alts. After a massive outpouring of help from many of the nations on the server, one of the admins, Bagi, removed the grief after it was found out that one of the perpetrators had been using VPNs. Shortly after the attack, Genoskyo, Coventhia, Commonwealth, and SPQR were also obby bombed, forcing Icenia to begin quick militarization. Eventually, the base of operations for the obby bombings was found by Lodish, when he walked into the territory of the vault.
Line 185 ⟶ 182:
Icenia would ultimately partake in the final two assaults of the war-upon the Best Western Vault in the HJE and the Geographical vault outside of SPQR. The War would conclude with these military victories and Icenia would once again, be at peace.
=== Post-War Icenia
After the end of the Infinity War, Icenia would enter into a period of relative inactivity due to server performance issues. Slowly, however, Icenia would begin to trickle back and once the server performance issues had been fixed. This population recovery in Icenia would lead to massive infrastructure projects finally being completed, including the GOR which would finally work its way to Imperial Truidence via the Icenian overpass constructed by Bgbba and other Yoahtlans.
Line 201 ⟶ 198:
Charliesse, a former citizen on Yoahtl and an Infinity War veteran would end up picking up the vacant seat for judge left by incumbent LordCheiftain, who decided not to run for re-election. This position was highly contested though, with FreestyleJr, xDarkDiamond, and others nearly taking the position. Driving political discourse was Onii_Chan's, The Grand Judge of Icenia, schtick of stealing crafting tables from homes. Charlie would run on an anti-crafting table theft platform which tapped into the sentiments of many new players who had fallen victim to the crime. Despite the controvery, Onii_Chan would sweep the election for Grand Judge, winning over 45% of all 1st place votes in Icenia.

Icenia City is a sprawling urban center that is the capital of the Republic of Icenia. With a population of approximately 20 active players, Icenia City is one of the most populated and active cities on Civclassic. The city does not conform to the standard "city block" meta that is common to Civcraft and instead utilizes a more organic planning methodology similar to those used in cities on the American East Coast. Icenia City is divided in to several smaller districts or neighborhoods that each contain a unique building style or theme. The most well known areas include The Jewish Quarter (JQ) which has since been demolished and replaced, Oak Row, Ram Ranch, Mansion Row, and Pink Sheep Circle. Icenia City also houses the primary rail station in Icenia that has international rail lines to the [[Zero Zero]] (Nexus), Bloom, [[Varkonia]] ([[Gabon]]), [[Imperial Trudence]], [[Vinland]], and Gensokyo. The rail station also contains on its upper floor the GOR, which runs to Yoahtl. Furthermore, Icenia's rail station has a vast network of domestic lines that allow citizens and visitors to quickly traverse the nation.
Line 207 ⟶ 206:
The Jewish Quarter (JQ) was one of the most prominent and well designed portions of Icenia City during its early days. It contained the city's primary factory room and housed a vast portion of Icenia's shops and businesses. The district was constructed primarily by Figasaur and RabbiCroc after receiving a pearmapearl sentence from [[Mount Augusta]] due to [https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/comments/aj4slf/verdict_godomasta_vs_figasaur/ treason]. The Jewish Quarter also contained Icenia's largest synagogue of which, RabbiCroc was the Rabbi of. It was one of the most notable sources of Icenian culture and religion during Icenia's original Channer days. Other prominent features of the Jewish Quarter included the Clock Tower, Wall of Prayers which were both torn down and the Jewish Quarter Apartments, which is one of the only remaining buildings from the region still standing today. The JQ was griefed and eventually destroyed by Figasaur and the Icenian government, due to Figasaur's constant trolling of the town. Today the GOR runs through much of the region that was once the JQ.

===Versailles ===
Named after the city in Chanada from 2.0, Versailles, or Versailles loop was one of the first neighborhoods established within Icenia. Mostly a residential district, Versailles contains within it many of homes of the original settlers within Icenia, as well as the only remaining pub built during Icenia's May "Pub-Boom" (The Naughty Gnome).
===Mansion Row===
Mansion Row was originally a low-population, high build quality region within Icenia,
===Jah Park===
Jah Park is one of the many holy sites of Jahaism. Dedicated to the rapper XXXTentacion, the park contains an open space sporting many stores and a large water fountain. Near the park, there are there are several Icenian heritage sites including the Grand Icenian Septic Tank and the Shitter Shack. Jah Park was griefed in the JQ removal process in October 2019, but was rebuilt by Enforcer shortly
▲== Capital District, Icenia City ==
===
East Side is a large suburban district of Icenia located East of Pink Sheep Circle. Originally settled during the "Squarefriend" boom of 2019, the region has perpetually undergone development and re-development due to its nature of being an essential newfriend slum. The region is considered to be an eyesore by many, with quality builds hard to find and most active people from the region moving into city center closer to factories and existing rail infrastructure. One defining feature of East Side is its lack of trees and the abutting buildings that define downtown Icenia. This is primarily due to the nature in which it was set up. In November 2020 the GOR moved through a large portion of East Side destroying many of the buildings without following proper deriliction procedure. This controversial act occured before an election, but most candidates came out in support of the way in which it was done despite objections by some.
== External Districts ==
Line 251 ⟶ 231:
=== Nexus (0,0) ===
Nexus is an external district in Icenia that serves as a major non-populated rail hub for the majority of the server. Nexus was formally awarded to Icenia after the Icenian-Finglish Summit by John Smith aka. [[Stonato]] in late April of 2019 after a period of abandonment. Icenia maintains a direct connection to Nexus via its 0,0 'rail switch compatible' rail line, which also serves as a major transport artery to +,+ nations such as Caledonia.
=== Helios ===
Helios is an Icenian territory containing a single nether biome with
=== Antioch Isle ===
Line 260 ⟶ 240:
=== Carbonia Isle ===
Carbonia Isle is a formerly populated island that served as the capital for Carbon, John Smith's nation and original owner of 0,0. Carbonia, along with Nexus, was formally granted to Icenia during the Icenian-Finglish summit, although Icenia deliberately chose not to claim the north of the island past the city proper of Carbon due to not wanting to intrude upon Imperial Truidence, which owns the northern half of the island. Carbonia Isle is located at the very end of the mouth of the Anburon River, and its former leader lends his name to Stonato Bay, which sits directly South-East of the Rubicon, the former castle of the emperor of Carbon and the central piece of the long abandoned city there. Carbonia Isle is connected to Icenia via the Drippy Domestic System and Icenia's 0,0 rail runs directly though the city making visiting the ruins very easy to do. Today Carbonia is an essential region for Icenian EXP production with Icenia maintaining large farms there.

== Foreign Relations ==
===
Historically, Icenia maintained positive relations with [[Sovia]]/[[New Sovia]], and much of the Pre-Constitution era was defined by a peaceful co-existence between Icenian's and Sovians in the nation. Many 'first wave' citizens in Icenia were avid players of /pol/andcraft, and were brought into Icenia by Sovians creating a strong early culture in the nation and several 'districts' with Ram Ranch being the most notable. The land Icenia was built upon was also at one point owned in part by Gamephobic, who's first house on the server was flattened recently in the Southeastern region of Antietam Island, where Icenia City is located.
Relations began to sour after breaches of trust between the government of Icenia and Sovians. After the attack on [[Nyasaland]], the government of Icenia cracked down on TNT stashes carried into the nation after it was discovered that AngryPepsi had compacted incredible amounts on the explosive and had stored it within Icenian territory. The UNC was also given the authority to pearl anyone involved in the Nyasaland bombing not yet captured even if they were residing in Icenia. Later, ChrisChrispie was accused of stealing diamond blocks from [[Pirater]] which were being used to help build New Sovia. When presented with evidence, ChrisChrispie gave the blocks back. However, this would permanently damage relations between the two groups.
Relations collapsed in mid June of 2019, when Swiftfizz and many other New Sovians entered Icenian territory and entered restricted land, later spamming the coordinates of this area in the in-game global group chat, Civclassic discord, and Civclassic subreddit. This resulted in Swiftfizz's banning from Icenia under the newly passed 'Reasonable Suspicion Act'. Days later, a player by the name of mugo would be pearled in New Sovia for carrying TNT on his person. This player would later be revealed to be an alt account of LordChieftain. A few days later the conflict heated up into what is known as the '[[Clown Wars]]'. The Clown Wars would last for a week with two Icenians being pearled and relations with Entente and Corvus dropping due to violence on the streets of Icenia between individuals from both nations. Eventually, a white peace was signed and the Clown Wars would end. Eventually Pirater would be pearled by Entente during the Laconia-Entente conflict.
