=== Independent Thaegon (2018) ===
Very little is currently known about Thaegon on CivClassic 2.0, likely owing to it's short existence. Thaegon was a small agrarian nation<ref>Maxpowerboy told me in the CivReign discord it was already developed as farmland before the Risk Republic claimed it.</ref> located on the island at 8686, 5454, in the deep +,+. It is not known when it was settled, however, it is known that it's claims were renounced before July of 2018, and it's wealth and land bequeathed to a [[Provincia|Provincian]] named Texalted.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/8zetcu/comment/e2ijc13/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button A comment by a user saying they knew people from Thaegon.] "Thaegon left all their wealth and claim to a player residing in provincia [sic] known as Texalted. Shall I ask him to be in touch?" </ref> There is doubt as to whether this promise was honored in the end. It was taken over by the [[Risk Republic]] some time after, having been noted on a June 21st, 2018 claim map by Jecowa<ref>[https://imgur.com/aZPeMee CivClassic Claims Map, June 2018, by Enygma, Gjum, and Jecowa]</ref>, and later on a corrected map of Risk's claims posted by maxpowerboy on July 16th of 2018.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/8zetcu/official_claims_for_risk_160718/ Official Claims for Risk (16/07/18) (+,+), July 16th, 2018 (r/CivClassics)]</ref> Their neighbors during this time would've included [[Akai]], the [[Lowland Hundred]], and [[Lasopena]].
 
=== History of the Island of Thaegon under other Nations (2018-2021) ===
Thaegon's use as a farming island was continued by the Risk Republic and then the [[Thalassocracy]]. An undersea railway was built at an unknown point to connect it to Riskia Island, at the time known as Hallux. Theagon allegedly had a bunker containing loot, which was exploited by Maxpowerboy and Rurik to kick-start V[[Vítelia|í]]<nowiki/>telia's development.<ref>Maxpowerboy told me this in the CivReign discord.</ref> The island was granted to [[Provincia|The United Provinces of the Plus Plus]] after the dissolution of the [[Vítelia|Kingdom of Vítelia]] in January of 2019.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/adde27/land_claims_of_the_postvitelia_central/ Land Claims of the Post-Vitelia Central ++, January 6th, 2019]</ref> Probably after the fall of V[[Vítelia|í]]<nowiki/>telia, the rail tunnel between Riskia Island/Hallux was greifed, and the exit tunnel on the Thaegon side was sealed.<ref>This is based on my recollection of exploring the rail tunnel and finding the other end to be sealed when I returned to CivClassics around 2020.</ref> The Island was later given to [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivClassic 2.0)|Cortesia Del Mar]], and it stayed with them until the end of the server in 2021.
