With a sizable lake island in the middle of Acadia the choice of location for the new capital, New Turing, was easily made, and in a first wave of development a factory building, and a few residential and commercial buildings were quickly build, as well as the Acadian National Arena, and the prominent Square of Perseverance, which would become the heart of Acadian life. However, unlike on CivUniverse, this time Acadia decided to be a federation with internal states and territories, and after the Capitol District with New Turing, the Territory of [[Babbage]] was quickly founded by [[Owain X|OwainX]] with state capital Lovelace, as well as the Territory of Kanava with the eponymous capital city of Kanava, and many more would follow. While much progress was made at the very beginning, further development stalled as people increasingly began to work on their own projects, with one Acadian building a private ore smelter before a communal ore smelter had been established, another working on private xp production, and others working on personal build projects away from New Turing. To a degree the fragmentation was encouraged with the Acadian Constitution granting a voting representative in the Senate, the executive body of the Acadian government, for every group of three or more people with their own State, which was later overturned during [[Kannon]]'s term as Prime Minister. Unfortunately, few settlements outside of New Turing ever became more than personal build projects and those that did never managed to keep activity up for long, which resulted in there being a large number of ghost towns sprawled throughout the previously mostly untouched landscape.

More trouble followed soon as Acadia had become interesting enough for raiders, but not developed enough to form a successful defense and deterrence against raiders. The raiders were aided by a lack of security-awareness in the general Acadian public. A notable example was the case of Peterdama17, an unknown alt-account, who managed to steal around 100 diamonds from an Acadian citizen who had left them in a stone reinforced chest with the doors leading to the chest left open. By far the most infamous alt-raids came from Acadian and Fish citizens Druid and JayTeeR however, who went on an alt-raidings spree on alt-accounts indonesianbeans and GalacticBroom65 after Druid's almost succesful candidacy for Acadian Minister of Defense, heated discussions about their design of Fish Vault, and general boredom.<ref>Bounty posted on indonesianbeans and galacticbroom65: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/ogkq6f/bounty_on_galacticbroom65_and_indonesianbeans/ link] (reddit post)</ref> As they were members of the Acadian military, they had access to Acadian snitches and intel and managed to evade capture for many days, until they were finally pearled by [[Kaloa HG|Kayla]].<ref>Footage of Kayla pearling Druid and JayTeeR: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/oi22br/raiders_go_boom/ link] (reddit post)</ref> During this time, the infamous [[SCHIZ0TIER]] spawned in Acadia, where he commited his very first (petty) raids before his later famous HJI raid. As he hid in the deep northeast for a while after his HJI raid, somewhere around Acadia, a large amount of WP-enforcers and bounty hunters crossed through Acadia in their search, bringing more visitors to New Turing than ever throughout Acadia's history.
Unfortunately, the fall-out of Druid and JayTeeR's alt-raids ended up doing considerable damage to Acadia as several Acadians eventually ended up leaving and activity went down. Bloof, who had recently become Acadia's second Prime Minister after Cortwade's retirement after hitting his three term limit and a burnout, had initially set out to improve Acadia's international relations, but, with voice-chat game-afternoons and group projects, saw herself now forced to deal with the increasingly growing problem of inactivity as well. In matters of foreign affairs however, Acadia began to make progress, with Acadia growing closer to [[Columbia]], which had helped out Acadia during Druid and JayTeeR's alt-raid spree and set up a kickback trap featuring as embassy in New Turing. as well as Icenia, due to
In August 2021, Acadia was briefly brought to the world stage due to concerns of a military conflict with [[Caledonia]] and Caledonian occupied Adina. The Adinans that formed the Moloka-Javaya line had now been exiled from their original home Adina for two years, after what they considered to have been a Republican coup d'etat back in 2019, but with their return to CivClassic, largely through Acadia which they saw as a temporary home, they wished to eventually return to Adina. With Egi temporarily logboxed while on an 'illegal' pilgrimage through Adina, the matter was brought to the fore, and the [[Rajputana]], representing the exiled Adinans, began to campaign for international pressure against Caledonia to reach a settlement on their return to Adina.<ref>Rajputana campaign - 'Let Us Return': [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/p7pxcp/let_us_return/ link] (reddit post)</ref><ref>Rajputana campaign - 'On the Resettlement of Adina': [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/p8hlbb/on_the_resettlement_of_adina/ link] (reddit post)</ref> Due to Acadia's ties to the Rajputana and the Moloka/Javaya line, there were concerns that Acadia was planning an invasion of Adina against Caledonia, and that the public campaign of the Rajputana was simply an Acadian plot to establish PR before an invasion. These concerns partly originated from a public statement from the Acadian Senate calling on Caledonia to cede Adina to the Rajputana.<ref>Acadian Senate Call to Caledonia on Adina: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gb4NShrl1-pZPnTQY2QwoTMwj3YRKCgQpHoCIl39YvM/edit link] (Google document)</ref> Prime Minister Bloof eventually resolved the tensions with a public statement that Acadia would not get involved directly. The campaign of the Rajputana failed to make any gains, and the exiled Adinans largely went fully inactive afterwards.
==== The First TNSC Crisis ====
In late July 2021, the controversial player 'Rainie' [[RainOfPain125]] from [[CivRealms 2.0|CivRealms]] and CivUniverse started playing on CivClassic, choosing to settle close to the north of Acadia with a quickly gathered group of newfriends and establishing 'The No State Commune' <ref>Claims of TNSC: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/op7cyu/hereby_declaring_the_no_state_commune_tnsc_now/ link] (reddit post)</ref>. This immediately resulted in an uncomfortable situation as, due to previous drama on CivRealms and CivUniverse, Rainie held bad blood with some prominent Acadians and other civ players, including Cortwade and
While Acadia initially meant to settle for an uncomfortable peace, a number of issues quickly sprang up that made it hard for Acadia to ignore its new neighbours. As raidings kept being an issue in Acadia, one of them involved a TNSC member, [[Hawkeye]], who was caught in the act though immediately released after an apology and returning the stolen items. However, not much later, another TNSC member was sentenced for raiding in Icenia, who during his trial declared that Rainie had encouraged him and other TNSC members to raid nearby places to help develop TNSC. Additionally, Rainie was accused of vandalism in the form of propaganda on
Soon after, news broke out in Acadia that Rainie had been colluding with members of the Workers of Acadia Party (WAP) in a scheme where they funded Rainie with diamonds and in return Rainie sent people from his political anarcho-communism discord to Acadia to sway the Acadian elections in favour of the WAP. One of the key Acadians and WAP members in this scheme, [[Zombie_Striker]], who was elected Minister of Interior earlier, was a friend of Rainie back on CivRealms, and had been arguing in favor of Rainie the whole time. With all their plans coming crashing down she decided to have her 'revenge' by leaking Senate chats, breaking Acadia's diamond tool factories, and planning to obbybomb New Turing.<ref>Flags mentioning ZombieStriker's plans for obby-bombing: [https://imgur.com/a/uCBMZCj link] (imgur of discord message)</ref> Zombie_Striker ended up quitting civ, and Rainie was soon after banned for doxxing an Acadian citizen, though there is some disagreement about whether the doxxing was intentional or not.
Line 56:
Around the end of September, Acadia was shocked by the sudden, short reappearance of Rainie, whose temporary ban had apparently been finished after one month. As Acadians never knew the lenght of the ban, they were surprised to see Rainie back again so quickly. After Rainie's temporary dissapearance the other members of TNSC had decided to rebrand their nation as Consortium with Hawkeye as their new leader, and relations between Acadia and Consortium were friendly, though there was not much contact with them as activity in Consortium had long been very low. According to Hawkeye, the TNSC members considered Rainie to be a dictator and they had effectively overthrown him after the events of the TNSC crisis. Hawkeye claimed that, after escaping from his bounty hunters, Rainie was then hunted by his fellow TNSC members, that they eventually had Rainie logboxed, and that they had not been in contact with him afterwards. Egi and Tuomasz came over to Consortium for a diplomatic tour and to discuss the situation and the relation between Acadia and Consortium going forward. Choosing to believe Hawkeye, Acadia asked Consortium for the location of the logbox, so that they would be able to pearl him if Rainie ever logged in on his main account again.
However, Hawkeye was not very willing to share the location of the logbox, as he demanded payment of hundreds of diamonds in return. Negotiations proved fruitless and as Acadia wasn't willing to pay people for covering someone they considered to be a doxxer Acadia decided to go looking for the logbox in Consortium themselves. Egi, [[Ferro]], and
Unfortunately, especially as far as public information goes, a lot of what exactly happened with Rainie after the first TNSC crisis is shrouded in mystery. It is unclear whether Rainie's ban was kept on one month only, or, as Rainie would later claim, that it was extended to three months, which would mean that he was banned again not long after his reappearance.<ref>Rainie claiming to have been banned for three months: [https://imgur.com/a/tid6ZqU link] (imgur of civwiki comparison)</ref> If his ban was not extended, it is also unclear to what extend he had been active on an alt-account during September/October, which he, contradicting his other statement, claimed he was.<ref>Rainie claiming to have been playing during the 'three-month period': [https://imgur.com/a/tkMwumP link] (imgur of discord message)</ref> Neither was it ever publicly established whether Consortium had actually broken ties with Rainie as Hawkeye claimed, or whether the logbox was real or a fabrication.
