Line 19:
Laconia is a semi-active group of players that has spanned multiple maps since [[Devoted]] 2.0 in early 2016.
 
Their most important incarnation was founded in the first month of [[CivClassic 2.0]] in June 2017, when the Laconians constructed the fortress town [[Mt. Doom]], originally a set of stonebrickstone brick walls on a mountaintop that served to defend [[Yoahtl]]'s then-capital city, [[Axochitlan]], until Laconia declared independence. After tensions between the two nations rose to the point of [[Yoahtl-Laconia_Wars|war]], the Laconians captured Axochitlan. This forced the other half of Yoahtl on an exodus to the other side of the map, where they founded [[New Yoahtl City]]. Tensions and intermittent conflict between the sibling nations continued for several years until the [[Infinity War]], when Mt. Doom was captured by Coalition forces in January 2020 after a four month siege. After peace negotiations that took over a year, Laconia's citizens were freed from [[Hjaltland]]'s vault and founded a new city on [[Doom Island]], to the east of [[Mount September]], where they remained peacefully until the end of the map in December 2021.
 
Due to their split with Yoahtl, the two nations ended up on opposite geopolitical axes, with Laconia signing an alliance with [[Lexington]], and Yoahtl becoming closer with Hjaltland, who were the early competitors for [[World Police|global hegemony]]. Even though Laconia consciously stayed out of the [[Somber War]], thereby escaping the destruction the other allies of Lexington faced after its final defeat, this early alignment ended up deciding Laconia's place in the geopolitical structure and the sides it took in future conflicts.
 
== History ==
===== <big>The Revenants</big> =====
Laconia can trace their roots to a group on [[Devoted]] 2.0, the Revenants. Born out of a shared hatred of the [[Pirates]], it was the fusion of several early-map groups, led by Vapin, Tofee_Dodger, FRESH_Candy, and BuckyHD, with [[ashnwill]] joining later. They were early allies of [[Agora]], who were later known on CivClassic 2.0 as Hjaltland (sort of). They formed the Conglomerate which fought the Pirates and [[Ascalon]] (led by Vicccyy and SirCrowley respectively).
 
Line 31:
Bucky and Fresh began thinking of new names for the group, one of which mentioned was Laconia. This first version of the Laconian state on Devoted 2.0 was essentially ashnwill using the name, building a vault with Tofee_Dodger, [[Malen]], and [[Brocktree]], and attempting to make a preemptive power-play against Agora by invading the [[Semper Union]]. This was foiled by the betrayal of Malen and Brocktree, resulting in his permapearling and his excommunication by the Revenants.
 
===== '''<big>CivTemp and 3.0</big>''' =====
 
During [[CivTemp]], the group that formed the Revenants and Laconia did not play much, aside from BuckyBuckyHD playing apart of [[Yoahtl]]. During this time, BuckyBuckyHD further developed the idea of Laconia. After failing to convince Yoahtl to change with documents and reforms written by BuckyBuckyHD, and with the help of [[zachtack]], they began to write documents for Laconia for the anticipated 3.0, such as a legal document, charter, and plan of Laconia. [[File:Laconia Banner.png|thumb|Foreign Laconian Banner]] When 3.0 began, the group of Revenants officially became Laconia, and recruited many people, notably JohnFairfax, and few other HCFers. Laconia was located in the same shard as Yoahtl as they were to be allies due to Bucky's friendship with [[Quauhtli_Mia]] and Yoahtl. The capital city was Lacedaemon and was to become a vault city, but due to people becoming inactive and an alt raider attack on the bunker, Laconia broke apart and became inactive, or moved to other nations.
