Acadia: Difference between revisions

 

On CivClassic, Acadia saw a lot more political parties. The '''Ashahari People's Party (APP)''' (''Ashahara i'Dorei Farroth''), in politics similar to the Progressive-Snow party, was the result of the merge between the Progressive-Snow party and the influx of Javayans, who introduced the emphasis on Ashaharist communal values. The APP featured many prominent Acadians and was the dominant party for much of Acadia's history, until with the decline in activity from especially the Javayans its hold began to wane. During the decline of the APP a schism emerged after a disagreement on Acadia's role within a wider international movement of Adinan exiles seeking to return to their homeland, with the '''New Ashahari Party (NAP)''' (''Gwain Ashahari Farroth)'' preferring to emphasize national unity within Acadia. Vying for power with the APP in the earlier part of Acadian politics was the left wing '''Workers of Acadia Party (WAP)''' (''i'Cuin'Dorei o Akkadye Farroth''), flirting with abolishing private property and radical system reform to centralize and nationalize Acadian political and economic life. The WAP eventually came crashing down as the alt-raiding WAP-members [[The druid|Druid]] and [[JayTeeR]] brought embarrassment to the party and the party even ended up involved in a treason scandal after the First TNSC Crisis. The only party to eventually manage to rival and overtake the APP in power was the '''National Visionary Defense Party''' '''(NVDP)''' (''i'Nothlir Tira a' Nidh Farroth'', the result of the merge of the previously politically less relevant '''Visionary Party of Acadia (VPA)''' (''Tira Farroth o Akkadye''), and the '''National Defense Party (NDP)''' (''i'Nothlir Nidh Farroth''). The NVDP favored an economy centered on state-capitalism, and generally sought to centralize Acadian politics and to increase Acadia's role in the wider region. In a counter reaction against the increased support for a centralized government and economy, the '''Liberty of Acadia Party (LAP)''' (''u'Nosson o Akaddye Farroth''), the direct successor of the short-lived '''Acadian Trade and Prosperity Party (ATPP)''' (''u'Nosson o Akaddye Farroth)'' and the earlier Libertarian Party sought to fight for decentralization and radical political transparency and direct democracy, fight against national projects and military infrastructure, and to ban political parties. Part of the same counter reaction were the less radical '''Democratic Front for the Restoration of Acadia (DFRA)''' (''i’Dorei Nidh sil U’cae o Akkadye)'' and the '''Democratic Acadia Movement (DAM)''' (''i'Dorei'sel Akkadye Sil'').

====== States, Territories, and Settlements on CivClassic ======

On CivClassic, '''New Turing''' was the capital city of Acadia, situated on the island within Lake Elizabeth, featuring the Perseverance Square, the heart of Acadian life, the factory building, the skybunker, rail station, and ice road center. More than on CivUniverse, Acadia's social and economic reality revolved around the capital. Whereas Old Turing's architecture was low in height, New Turing increasingly featured larger buildings, with an ever developing skyline. Close to New Turing lay the State of '''Thompson''', a country-side de facto residential suburb of New Turing; The Territory of '''Nordvest''', a personal build project featuring Art Deco towers and an airport; the State of '''Babbage''' with the town of '''Lovelace''', a settlement focussing on commerce and industry, which thrived during Acadia's earlier beginnings but eventually fell prey to New Turing's magnitude; the '''Stonegate''' project, an early abandoned project to build a settlement consisting of a grid of bunkers; as well as '''Eden''', a mostly underground settlement with a medieval theme and a large statue.To the east of Acadia lay the Territory and town of '''Kanava''', built around canals, featuring a water tunnel connecting it to Lovelace; the Territory of '''Wilson''' with the village of '''Conway''', which was to become a victorian country-side village; and the Territory / State of the '''Lewis Islands''', with the settlements of '''Pajnitov''' and '''Mallorca'''. The Lewis Islands were widely believed to be cursed due to several separate incidents of Lewis Islanders committing treason as well as the fact that the islands are floating on water due to a world generation error. According to rumors, a number of [[NATO]] fighter accounts were logged in this area, and an old hidden Acadian bunker with great treasure was to be found on one of these islands. To the west of New Turing lay the State of '''Mana'Thalas''' with the old pre-Acadian town of '''Vanhoover''', as well as the remnants of the pre-Acadian settlements '''[[New Jerusalem]]''' and '''[[Holy Tree (CivClassic)|Holy Tree]]'''.

 

== Landmark Buildings ==

 

The '''Rainbow Row''', built by Bloof, was one of New Turing's most successful residential and commercial projects. As New Turing sat upon a large height difference with the surrounding lake, waterfront development was a challenge; however; the Rainbow Row´s visibility ensured its inclusion in commercial traffic. It eventually became associated with the later rainbow hot air balloon and the gaybar as monuments to Acadia´s LGBT community. Another important landmark was the '''National Arena,''' designed by Owain in antiquity inspired architecture, the first major break from traditional Acadian architecture. Situated between the early settlements of New Turing, Lovelace, and Kanava rather than in the capital, it was a monument to Acadia´s federalism on CivClassic. Unfortunately, perhaps partly due to its remoteness, it was never put to use. Another building that never quite hit its goal was the unfinished '''Capitol Building''', designed by [[Seekinq]] and central part of Cortwade´s vision for New Turing. As time went on the building became a controversial symbol of inactivity, and it began to highlight struggles with city planning as it clashed with the skybunker and the boulevard descending to the building clashed with kick-back traps. Right before the announcement of the end of the server, a plan for urban renewal was formed which had this entire area removed and rebuilt. Symbol of the same wave of urban renewal was the new '''Community Center''' with the factories and large communal storage, built by Uniter. It was one of the largest and tallest builds in Acadian history. Finally, one of Acadias most controversial buildings; the '''Vegan Steakhouse''' by Spleef. Due to its lack of aesthetic value and the fact that it was hardly ever stocked, the Acadian government wished to derelict this building. However, given Acadia´s strong property rights, which did not allow for confiscation as long as the owner objected on Discord, and popular disapproval of what many saw as 'government overreach', the building led to one of Acadias biggest storms of e-lawyerism.
