Icenia (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

 

== 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.

 

 

=== Alliances ===

 

The UDF currently consists of fellow shallow -,- nation Imperial Truidence, as well as [[Columbia]], [[Yoahtl]], [[Southshire]], and [[Acadia]]. This alliance was created in late July after the UNC collapsed after the Evocator/Corvus scandal and Varkonia's decision to form the Entente. Icenia wrote much of the original draft of the UDF charter and the first spokesperson of the UDF was [[Vend3tta]], the Icenian Minister of Foreign Affairs (June-July 2019). Currently, Icenia holds the Strategic Commander position within the UDF with [[SoundTech]] serving in the position as well as the Spokesperson position, held by Enforcer15.

 

Icenia was part of the GNA during Civcraft 2.0, and with the UNC being a spiritual successor during CivClassic, as well as neighbors [[Bloom]] and [[Varkonia]] maintaining member status, it was only natural for Icenia to join. The UNC gave early support to the establishment of Icenia in CivClassic, with Varkonia contributing city bastions and materials for basic factories. Bloom also paid early attention to Icenia, and even requested that Icenia join Bloom as a separate city within their nation.

 

Upon the refounding of the UNC alliance in late 2021, Icenia joined as one of the three security council members along with Gabon and Varkonia.

 

After rescinding its application to join the UNC, Icenia opted to attempt to join [[SATO]] due to mutual connections to many of the alliance's previous leadership being associated with nations that [[ChrisChrispie]] had connections with in Civcraft 2.0, notably [[Bgbba]] through Chanada, who was now leading [[Yoahtl]]. SATO was also the only alliance outside of the UNC that was relatively stable in the world at the time, as [[NATO]] was engaged in an ongoing and stalled war with Mir, and joining the [[NCA]] was out of question. SATO was hesitant to admit Icenia given its reputation for being rowdy in server politics and the fact that Figasaur and Cr0codile, members of the JQ, resided in Icenia and were accepted there as members of Icenian society. However, despite these reservations, SATO voted to bring Icenia on as an associate member believing that if the JQ was to be contained, it was best contained in Icenia.

 

Today Icenia is on very good terms with SATO as the majority of SATO nations are now in the UDF.

 

Originally, Icenia stood against Entente due to the fallout created by the disbanding of the UNC in Bloom. This was due to an overarching fear that Entente was simply created by more militaristic nations in the UNC as a way to stand unopposed to Mirian combat in the -,-. These fears quickly subsided though when the War of the Coalition broke out and the UDF and Entente began fighting a common enemy. After the War of the Coalition, relations between Entente and Icenia continued to flourish and shortly after the conclusion of the War of the Coalition, Icenia would join Entente in the Infinity War. Today Entente and Icenia hunt raiders together in the -,- and are generally considered to be allies.
