The Commonwealth (CivClassic 2.0): Difference between revisions

== Geography ==

The Commonwealth is made up of various boroughs that all contribute to the welfare of the state. Each borough elects its own Councillor to the Legislature and votes on various laws, bills and leadership elections. Each borough has its own design and flavour that makes them unique.

=== Westminster ===

Westminster is the capital of the Commonwealth, and where most activity within the Commonwealth is. It was the first borough within the Commonwealth, initially housing a "circus tent"-like factory building and a large mansion on the north coast, until it was taken down. Today the city is filled to the brim with buildings and greenspaces. It currently holds Union Station and Shopside, a very active train station and a rail station. A remodel to the train station was made in March 2018. Westminster is notorious for its wide use of canals through the city, separating the west side of the city from the east side. Proponents of the canal go so far to prohibit bridges from being built across the canal, while others dislike the canals as it makes it hard to navigate around the city. Initially built for defense, Westminster's canals are mostly for aesthetic purposes.

The Jungle east of Westminster is part of the capital itself and has been made a nature reserve. It is the sole jungle biome of the quadrant and has been protected to prevent excessive tree farming. A public cocoa and vine farm is also present for visitors.

=== Meditat ===

Meditat is well-known for its aesthetic desert builds, all surrounding a large oasis in the Harakur desert located northwest of Westminster. It joined the Commonwealth in July 2017. Housing a pyramid, a horse arena and a large village, the borough is run by mike0war and is a center for building desert structures. It was also a host for the parkour and horse arenas during the Second Olympics. Meditat is also home to a religion, emerging from the translation of recently discovered carvings by local scribes, on tablets of clay excavated from the ruins of an ancient structure, buried deep beneath the sand by the oasis.

In addition to being a build city, Meditat also contributes its own experience farms to be exported, and helps those in need. The Ashguard Basin was built later after Meditat. Located northwest of Meditat, it is a megabuild built by one person, and is a dense city as well but hosts its own dense market, palace and pyramid as well. A rail runs between the two cities.

=== Arran ===

After LordOfMarzipan's ascendance to admin, PergySkeel and OfflineOnline, two citizens of the Commonwealth who are known for digging tunnels quickly and efficiently, seeked to take over the borough following LordOfMarzipan's absence. He agreed, and the duo have promised to revamp the city, although no remodels have happened as of yet.

=== Albion ===
