Thaegon was a state on CivcraftCivCraft 2.0, and possibly CivclassicCivClassic 2.0.

Thaegon may havewas beenprobably founded in mid 2014, as an illegal settlement within the claims of the [[Pellan Empire]], which was apparently part of the [[United Provinces of the Plus Plus|United Provinces of the Plus Plu]]<nowiki/>s. It was apparently allowed to continue it's existence due to the King of Pella being "bullied by the u3p's bigger e-peen and a sense of morality"<ref>[[Pellan Empire#History|Pellan Empire - History]]</ref> By March 26th, of 2015 Thaegon was in the process of officially joining the U3P.,<ref>Comment by an unknown deleted user, March 26th, 2015 under [https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/30g5cg/comment/cps54v4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Winslow7 and Btharleu Pearled Post Claims., March 26th, 2015]</ref> Thaegon by August of 2015 it was an integral part of U3Pthe by August of 2015U3P.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3i036z/map_with_the_abyssima_merger_yoahtl_out_and_holy/ <nowiki>[MAP] With the Abyssima merger, Yoahtl out, and Holy tree in, this is what the U3P looks like now., August 22nd, 2015</nowiki>]</ref> However, they had gone inactive for an unknown amount of time by then, since the leader's friends had moved on to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(video_game) Rust],<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3i036z/comment/cudeza6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button <nowiki>A comment by the leader of Thaegon under the same post as [3]</nowiki>] "I own Thaegon and don't log in often but I do check my snitches every once and a while.

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 waswere renounced before July of 2018, and it's wealth and claimland 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.

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>

ItThaegon's use as a farming island was continued by the Risk Republic and then the [[Thalassocracy]],. and anAn undersea railway was built at an unknown point to connect it to Riskia Island, at the time known as Hallux.
