Government and Politics
History
Icarus was founded on CivRev as a parliamentary republic. Elections for the 5 seats of parliament were held every 3 months. Once an election concluded, parliament was tasked with appointing a prime minister and a president through a vote of no confidence. The prime minister's responsibilities included running the day-to-day operations of the country and conducting diplomacy, whereas the president served a mostly ceremonial role.
On April 12th, 2022 it was announced that Icarus would move towards becoming a semi-presidential republic. The president, now directly elected by the citizens, was given the authority to dissolve the parliament and represent the country during treaty and alliance negotiations. The powers of the commander of the army were also handed over to the president.
Transitional government
On April 14th, 2022 a national referendum was held, in which Icarians unanimously voted in favor of electing a temporary government that would oversee the transition to CivMC. In the presidential election IceBoy Board narrowly beat CredixYt with a margin of a single vote. Later that week Parliament voted to appoint LIQUID STEREO as prime minister of the new transitional government.

History
On June 6th, 2022, Icarus joined in the planning of a joint raid on the nation of Blockchainistan with the nations of Kingdom of ErrorL and 境界の西部共和国 for the sole purpose of getting players Abbyshapiro and TrustThePlan to log on so they could be pearled. This is because both players had raided Icarus days prior, destroying all their factories and taking most of their stuff. However, they never ended up logging on, making their official involvement in the Western Jungle War pointless and caused them to face heavy backlash from their allies in COMRADES. This conflict is what ultimately led Icarus to leaving COMRADES for good. [1][2]
On June 23rd, Icarian Parliament member Grumpywalnut96 resigned from leadership after it was discovered he had planted an estimated 20+ snitches in the neighboring nation of Cordoba without their permission, claiming that it was to help catch and detain raiders trying to flee from Icarus. Soon after this situation was brought to light, Icarian officials quickly arrived in Cordoban land to dig up the snitches and promptly apologized for the actions of Grumpy. It did not help that this also coincided with a 8d bounty on Grumpywalnut96 posted by the nation of Bing Chilling on the very same day for killing a single sheep within their borders. However, the bounty conflict would be resolved with help from representatives in Arsenio Pact acting as a middle man. [3]
On June 27th, Icarus officially announced they were moving across the map and giving their old claim to Grumpywalnut96. This was for better biome variety and to be closer to their allies, which was a big concern at SOTW. The transition would take over a week and threw Icarus into a nation-wide inactivity endemic, which lasted for a number of weeks.[4]
After over a month of building up the nation, on August 1st, previous raider Abbyshapiro appeared in the new Icarus claims and proceeded to raid the nation wide storehouse which was under construction at the time. Icarians Glerk and 6114 logged on and chased off Abby, but by then the storehouse had been completely raided, causing for a post to be made by Glerk on the subreddit detailing the damage and getting support from the nation of Valyria (CivMC). The next day on August 2nd, Abbyshapiro returned and greifed the memorial to LIQUID STEREO's deceased girlfriend LivingFungi and to Atlas, Icarus' city in their old land which was greifed by rogue Cordobans. [5][6]
Late into the night of August 10th, infamous raider Vah showed up at the skybunker in Icarus demanding groups to it so he could "collect what was owed to him", this is because according to Vah, Icarian official zolo17 had stolen from him when he was running Fellowship. After being denied, he proceeded to murder both LIQUIDSTEREO and Glerk, eventually spawn camping LIQUIDSTEREO and proceeding to pearl him. After calling for help, 4 members of 境界の西部共和国 logged on and proceeded to engage Vah in Blue Cove, the capital of Icarus. Both SinjoroJoCrafter and Spoonce from Western Boundary ended up pearled as well. However Aetherix managed to free not only them but LIQUIDSTEREO as well soon after. Vah had escaped yet again unfortunately, and discomfort was widespread across Icarus.
The following day on August 11th, LIQUIDSTEREO announced he was resigning as Prime Minister. He cited the events of the night prior as a contributing factor, but also said he just generally hadn't enjoyed logging on Civ for awhile and considered it a chore. He told Icarians that his break could range from "a few weeks to a few years" and that time would only tell.
