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 Perseverance Square,
Nevertheless, progress would continue, albeit slowly. Through ancient pre-existing rail Acadia was now connected to the rest of the server, and most importantly Icenia, as the nearest economic center with 20 minutes on rail. Acadia's utter isolation came to an end in June 2021 as the [[Kingdom of Fish]], a spin-off nation from [[Wyvern]], a friendly close nation on CivUniverse, decided to settle east of Acadia. Acadia and Fish immediately signed a Friendship treaty, binding the two nations in an alliance, and giving citizens from either nation unrestricted access to full citizenship in the other. Acadia began to grow a notable population of Fish duals, including [[The druid|Druid]] and [[JayTeeR]].

==== Landmark Buildings on CivUniverse ====
One of the most loved and respected builds was the '''Acadia Grand Central Station'''. It was the main transportation hub in Hyperborea, linking all settlements in Hyperborea with each other, and linking the continent to the rest of the server with a direct line to the motherland, Javaya. Built in typical traditional old Turing architecture with brick and stone brick, it's the main representative build of this style. The '''Aston Tower''', built by Cortwade, largely followed these same architectural conventions like most buildings in old Turing. Housing a number of newfriend apartments, it was the tallest building in all of [[Hyperborea]] for several months, until becoming the second tallest after the completion of Iceton Tower in the [[Republic of Lunalia]] , dominating the old Turing skyline. It represented a move towards urbanization as old Turing was growing quickly in its latest weeks. Another landmark came from the same urbanization rush; the '''Supreme Tribunal''' building by [[Huntwolf]], an example of Acadia's occasional flirtation with quartz. It was the only Acadian government building that was ever finished.[[File:New Turing screenshot.png|thumb|342x342px|The Community Center and the Columbian embassy in New Turing]]
==== Landmark Buildings on CivClassic ====
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 would have had this entire area removed and rebuilt. Symbol of the same wave of urban renewal was the new '''Community Center''' with factories and large communal storage, built by Uniter, and the tallest building in New Turing. Finally, one of Acadia's most controversial buildings; the '''Vegan Steakhouse''' by
== Foreign Relations ==
Although Acadia's population was traditionally largely in favor of isolationism, against close cooperation with larger powers, and anti-[[World Police (CivClassic)|WP]] sentiments were somewhat common; Acadia's leadership and 'shadow government' was always largely in favor of strong alliances with larger powers to establish security. On CivUniverse, matters of foreign policy were largely handled by motherland Javaya. Regardless, Acadia was part of the Commonwealth of Southern Nations, and oversaw matters on the Hyperborean continent as a guardian of the continent, which was largely populated by newfriends. On CivClassic, Acadia inherited Javaya's good relations with neighbor [[Wyvern]], which was now Acadia's neighbor Fish. A Special Friendship Pact was signed with Fish, granting special citizenship privileges to Acadian and Fish citizens and establishing military and diplomatic cooperation.<ref>Fish Acadia Friendship Treaty: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/o0raqo/declaration_of_friendship_between_fish_and_acadia/ link] (reddit post)</ref> Together a larger alliance in the +,- quadrant was created; the [[Plus-Minus Concordat|Plus-Minus-Concordat]] (PMC), with [[Sussex]], [[Mythril]], [[City of England]], [[Jomsviking Confederation|Jomsviking]], and [[Kallos]], which lasted until the events of the [[Jomsviking-England Incident]] which destroyed the alliance. Additionally, Acadia was an associate member of the [[UDF]], with close ties with Icenia and especially Columbia, with which integration into a larger Columbian Federation was considered though ultimately rejected due to suspected lack of popular support.<ref>Very official documentary footage: [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/pw1nvy/shitpost_archive_footage_columbia_adopts_acadia/ link] (reddit post)</ref> In the last weeks of the server, Acadia joined the re-established [[United Northern Congress (New)|UNC]].
