The Orion capitol, in the country's capital city.

Orion was a country on Civcraft 2.0 focused on a democratic and capitalist system of government, with striking similarities to the United States government. The country was established at the start of the world in the middle of the northwest quadrant, and quickly became known as the most populous country on the server. Due to its easy access and low barriers to entry (which included a free plot for newfriends), the country saw several conflicts throughout its lifespan, including raids from the Bloodcrew, the Cuban Revolution, and a secession crisis from Sennisten, one of the country’s boroughs.

Although the country had an anarchic build system, the country had several notable builds, including the capitol (pictured), a grand train station connecting the CIC, and the Grand Olympic Stadium, playing host to the first known Olympics held on Civ servers, and inspiring future Olympics on CivClassic. Additionally, Cuban leader Farley50 lent his name to today’s Farley war, a term known for either a roleplay war between two parties or a sporting event where players use weak weapons and armor for fighting. Today, some of Orion’s players make up today’s Jorvik. (Full article...)
