=== CivUniverse ===
Acadia was one of the first nations founded on CivUniverse. Undeterred by the risk of shitters and toxicity, Cortwade, the first Prime Minister of Acadia, sought to make a new group on the newly-born server. Initially, things went well. Acadia was a small, isolated nation, a vassal state to Javaya, and was a founding member of a large regional UN-like organization. Eventually, Acadia ballooned to be one of the largest nations on the server, with a booming alcohol and potato industry, the latter of which was unrivaled by any in the world.
During Acadia's popularity height, however, the country faced many problems on it's continent, known as Hyperborea, thanks to countries like Amythria, who's queen, Nina, declared herself the Queen of, leading to much tension between the two, as well as the uprising of Tempestia, which was quickly squashed, before being aided to settle elsewhere. That, ontop of the occasional raids that were swiftly handled, the state was faced with many newfriend problems that were slowly solved thanks in large part to some of it's founding members and it's mother country, Javaya,
Early Acadia faced many internal issues, namely a huge divide thanks to political parties and political violence, one of the most notable cases being Layman, a founding member, aggressively attacking their opposition to the Snow Party at every turn, even going so far to launch an immense legal case against one of the members of an opposing party that still held credence as a precedence for many Acadian cases thereafter. That, ontop of failed attempts by some members to create roleplay events, constant situations with opposing countries, left a few of the founders, namely Cortwade, extremely burnout. However, due to a rise in toxicity in groups such as New Vegas and Cincinnati, and the outbreak of the Coalition War, Acadia's population quickly dwindled, and burnouts became more severe. Numbering around 30-strong at its peak, Acadia only had roughly 10-15 active citizens when the decision to move was made.
==== CivUniverse Specifics ====
While the now removed-article that originally held Acadia's page has been now deleted, specific historical events should be noted and remaining on the Acadian page:
"
=== Launch ===
Acadia settled quickly after launch, quickly finding the continent of Hyperborea and settling the capital city of Turing. On Day 1, a Javayan, JustSharky, and one of their colleagues, joined Cortwade and began building Turing. Before the day was out, Turing featured the start of its potato farm, a public works and factory building (now the East Turing Storage), and a mine. However, progress after this point would become slow and laborious. Over the next month, Turing gained several small houses, and the town of Serena was founded as an outpost. Work began on Acadia Grand Central Station, but work quickly came to a crawl as a lack of activity brought most of Acadian life to a standstill. However, with a new recruitment initiative, several new members of Acadia joined over a week-long period, bringing new energy and life into Acadia. The potato farm was quickly expanded as it became properly managed, the central station was completed, and new buildings began popping up both in Turing and Serena.
=== First Newfriend Influx ===
With a new CivUniverse recruitment initiative, many newfriends opted to join Acadia due to its status as a calm, chill, and friendly nation. Notable members such as Stevee and Schmilly joined at this point. Turing and Serena both boomed, to a point where both towns were almost unrecognizable after just a week of development. Quickly, structures such as the Aston Tower and Supreme Tribunal were built, and Serena developed into a proper town in its own right. Acadia became an active and thriving nation as individuals joined the nation. Shortly after the influx, the first elections were held on schedule with Cortwade winning a second term. The introduction of partisan politics also began during this point. The development of an intra-Acadian rail was a paramount issue during the election, with many Solidarity candidates campaigning for an overground rail, and claims that the Progressive-Snow candidates were dragging their feet on the issue. Progressive-Snow candidates in turn were campaigning for the construction of an underground rail. In fact, as the election was ongoing, Interim Minister of Homeland Affairs Bloof completed the Serena-Turing rail.
=== Second Newfriend Influx and Activity Slump ===
As thing settled into normalcy, many newfriends recruited during the First Newfriend Influx became inactive or otherwise busy with real-life affairs. Several members moved to other nations. With another CivUniverse recruitment initiative, Acadia experienced a small influx in newfriends, but it was barely comparable to the First Influx and did little to dent the national slump in activity. Despite this, progress was still made. Factories were moved away from the exposed public works and into a more secure location, the acquisition of Laconia was approved, and the Lionsgate Stadium began construction. Eventually, the slump reached a stable point. Acadia became a moderately active nation, but still less active than the high point of the First Newfriend Influx.
=== Participation in the First Coalition War ===
As a Dominion of Javaya, Acadia was an active participant in the First Coalition War against the City of Gotham/New Vegas. While few Acadians were frontline fighters, Acadia actively supported the production of wartime materials through a War Bond exchange system. However, industrial output was sluggish as a result of the decline in activity, and, despite their bravery, Acadia could not properly supply its fighters, leading to heavy casualties on the battlefield. With the Status Quo peace of the First Coalition War on 10, March 2021, Acadia has established Remembrance Day as a national holiday.

===== ''Kanava Tunnel'' =====
Built by [[ScammerSteve]] to connect the River Lovelace to the city of Kanava, it is a 2 wide water tunnel that goes under the Acadian countryside
== Former Territories/Cities ==
With former cities on the now lost Universe, this section should be created to remember their loss.
=== Turing ===
The largest city in Hyperborea, Turing is the capital city of Acadia. Housing notable structures such as the National Bank, Supreme Tribunal, Acadia Grand Central Station, and Aston Tower, Turing claims to be one of the most beautiful cities on the server. Its style has been described by the Minister of Public Relations and Human Resources as "Victorian Longhouses," due to the emphasis on brickwork rowhouses and few freestanding structures. Acadia Grand Central Station is the largest rail station in the southern hemisphere, and Aston (or commonly debated Ashton Towers by some) Tower claims to be the tallest inhabitable structure in Hyperborea. Turing is in the process of constructing the Lionsgate Stadium, a multipurpose entertainment complex to be primarily used for competitive PvP events, such as Gladiatorial Combat, Boat Jousting, and Spleef, among others. Turing, despite security measures, is sometimes prone to unorganized raiding. While these attacks typically do minimal damage, in part due to Hyperborea's position as a newfriend spawn zone, it has fostered a sense of paranoia in many active Turans as it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
=== Serena ===
Serena is a small city located on the south coast of Acadia. It is populated by a close knit pattern of log cabins sitting in a massive snowy wood. This seclusive area is known as the "small town" end of Acadia and has seen recently accelerating development. However, due to the increasing frequency of unorganized raiders, Serena has seen a noticeable drop in activity. Despite this, several Serenans are still active in discord and ingame, and the town is still largely considered to be active. Serena is the birthplace of the now-defunct Solidarity party, with the Solidarity headquarters featuring prominently.{{Sovereign States of the Northeast}}
