=== Origins ===
The story of Amicitia begins in the back forests of [[Gensokyo]]
Eventually, Chief BlueBox97 set forth an initiative headed by his advisor jjonthan to explore the surrounding area and establish contact with other countries. jjonthan first established communication with Gensokyo
It was here
=== A Kingdom Established ===
Not long into the Kingdom’s formation, strong bonds with neighboring nations began to form, particularly with Amicitia’s neighbor to the north- [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]]. Then Deputy Mayor of Mount Augusta, [[ComradeNick]], was connected with the early Amicitians via Topaz. With help from Nick, these early settlers were guided in establishing industry and
Veteran CivMC builder LightStatus joined Amicitia at this time. As an offering to the King, LightStatus built two structures that would become known as LightStatus Monument and Greenwood Factory. The area in which

=== Beginnings of Amicitian Diplomacy ===
With the Kingdom seeing rapid development, King BlueBox set his sights on diplomacy.

An informal alliance
Amicitian diplomacy paved the way for the Kingdom’s first major expansion with the integration of the island of Eire into the realm.
With the annexation of Eire, Amicitia ceased to be a city-state
Not long after, King BlueBox called upon player MrMattimation to become the Kingdom’s first ever Prime Minister. Upon taking office, MrMattimation set forth policies that focused on agriculture and the acceleration of the Lux Castle building project.
=== Population Growth, the Lux Castle, and Scandal ===
With the completion of the Lux Castle
Amicitia’s first major scandal came when immigrants arrived from the [[Nassau|Pirate Republic of Nassau]]. One of these immigrants, a builder called setonix, incited controversy when it came to light that he had stolen a large number of items from respected Nassuvian PaddingtonBear.

=== Eire Golden Age & Further Expansion ===
Eire’s integration into the Kingdom saw it become the center of Amicitia’s wheat

A deal was fostered at this time with veteran player and server cartographer [[TheJmqn]]. The resulting “Oceanview-Amicitia Agreement” saw the integration of the Oceanview Isles into the Kingdom- more than doubling Amicitia’s landmass. The Oceanview-Amicitia Agreement effectively solidified Amicitia’s holdings as an island kingdom and its indomitable presence in the northern part of the Stoney Sea.
The growth and development experienced by Amicitia in this time is commonly credited to what historians have dubbed as “Jovian Expansionism” (named after Amicitian Royal Diplomat jjonthan), which focuses on expansion via peaceful diplomacy followed by the building up of integrated lands
=== The BUILD Alliance & Lux
Amicitia’s global presence continued to grow. With this came a request from ComradeNick for Amicitia to join the recently established [[BUILD|BUILD Alliance]]. This request was accepted and Amicitia joined the alliance and, in the process, became allied with the nations of the [[Imperial Federation]], [[Fempire Union]], [[Arsenia]], and [[New Jersey]].
[[File:Lux Capital pretty.png|thumb|387x387px|View of the Lux Capital.]]
With overseas relationships being established, the Lux Capital underwent major changes and increases in infrastructure. Ashburn Central Station was established with access to both the [[OneDest]] SNACC line and the Amicitian Domestic Rail (ADR) streamlining travel
The Amicitian national anthem, "United We Stand", was composed against the backdrop of all this growth and expansion.
The Lux Capital’s pre-Amicitian past reemerged in this time with player pizzalawl of the former Arsenio Pact returning to the server. It was revealed that pizzalawl established the then abandoned settlement of Belahaveno, which eventually became the Lux Capital. pizzalawl was granted citizenship and began to write and share about the Capital’s Pre-Amicitian history. This has sparked considerable conversation about Amicitia’s past, the role of those who came before, and how the future of the Kingdom could be impacted by this.
=== Wars and Rumors of War ===
Ultimately, with Doom City’s rallied support from [[Estalia]], the fighting ended with a victory for Doom City. Despite heavy losses for BUILD, Amicitia remained largely unchanged and soon opened its borders to refugees from the conflict, prioritizing those from the harmed BUILD nations.
