The Commonwealth (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

On the 9th of August, 2021, reffelruz, council representative of Fort Victoria, nailed a book titled "the DOTEK" to the door of Westminster Parliament. The document was a political diagnosis of Peter's kingship; that it had been acknowledged - by the people's continued worship in his absence - that Peter was more than an earthly ruler. Peter's continued role at the top of the Commonwealth hierarchy following his death, according to reffelruz, is akin to godhood, which would be reinforced by the extraordinary nature of his story, which boasts numerous parallels to various gods in myth, especially the Christian god, Jesus the Christ. The DOTEK argues that such continued deference would not be afforded to a lesser king, and so, going forward, the kingship of Peter ought to be depicted in the fashion of the cosmic, much like the absent king of the Vatican, and made the sacred cultural cornerstone of the nation and spiritual ruler for all time, seceding the title of King to the world of permanent cultural myth, which rests above the world of parlimentary affairs, and as such ought to dictate its nature.

Albion was a large town spanning the northern peninsula of the central plain, forming a bridge between the cities of Westminster and [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]]. Having made ties to the Commonwealth during the [[Somber War]], they joined the nation following the war's end. Albion was host to many large builds, including an airstrip, a large docking bay with a cruise ship off the coast, and a big blue sheep.

One of the Commonwealth's main goals was to provide free trade and transportation across the map; to fulfill this goal, a large rail station would be built beneath the capital city. The earliest rail lines connected the boroughs to the capital as they were founded. Westminster became a major hub when the [[HITS]] rail was beginning its construction in June 2017, connecting Westminster to other major cities in the Western Hemisphere, notably [[TdC]], [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]], [[Impasse]] and [[Falstadt]]. Other connections at the time included [[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]] and [[Southshire]].

In the first week, Peter declared derelict many inactive houses in Westminster, and promptly tore them to their foundations. The new city then began its planning stages. It was to replace the old city farms, and would represent a new start for Westminster, with stronger security measures, making it a proper, secure citadel, as well as a more extensive building code, balancing security and aesthetics like never before in the nation's history. This became Victoria, a fortified city similar to New Yoahtl City.
