'''The Commonwealth''' '''(CC)''' was a family of city states in the central southwest, spanning a large network of islands, with several former [[Civcraft]] nations established among them, and many smaller settlements scattering the countryside. The Commonwealth was first established in 2.0 by Sashimii, and in Civclassic founded by Cowguypig. [[Peter5930]] is king, and [[PergySkeel]] reigned as Prime Minister up until the End of the World. The Commonwealth provided free transportation throughout the worldregion via Union Station in Westminster, promoting trade through Shopside, the subterranean marketplace surrounding the station. Leadership, architectural style, political ideology and economic specialization were unique to each settlement. The Commonwealth was a member of [[SATO]].

====== Kings ======
The Commonwealth has been a monarchy since its original founding. Sashimii, founder and king of the first age, experimented with various methods of power distribution in 2.0 - including the declaration of lords, the assembly of MPs into parties and the appointment of judges - upon which were modeled the more simplified modern Parliamentary council of Westminster. Succession of the crown is decided by way of selection by the host.,

The legislature consists of each borough's representative along with high ranking and prominent citizens of the Commonwealth that specialize in various activities. These form a national council to advise the King on different matters and to make decisions on national policy in his absence. Each borough retains local administrative independence while referring international matters to the King and Legislature.
 
==== The Doctrine of the Eternal King ====
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 thePeter's statuskingship; ofthat theit crownhad inbeen lieuacknowledged of- Kingby Peterthe people's longcontinued absence.worship reffelruzin argueshis absence - that thePeter modelwas ofmore kingshipthan uponan whichearthly theruler. nationPeter's operatescontinued hasrole becomeat athe theologicaltop oneof -the thatCommonwealth is,hierarchy thatfollowing Peter'shis retentiondeath, ofaccording theto crownreffelruz, inis hisakin absenceto meansgodhood, thatwhich thewould governmentalbe systemreinforced isby nothe longerextraordinary anature mundaneof parliamenthis story, butwhich aboasts cosmicnumerous parliamentparallels withto avarious foundationgods in myth, especially the EternalChristian Kinggod, upon whichJesus the governmentChrist. andThe theDOTEK peopleargues oughtthat tosuch modelcontinued themselves.deference reffelruzwould assertsnot thatbe allafforded evidenceto ofa thislesser restsking, inand so, going forward, the storykingship of Peter's Civcraftought life,to which,be todepicted thisin daythe fashion of the cosmic, hemuch islike attemptingthe toabsent disseminateking throughof the sermonsVatican, essays and plays.made Thethe councilsacred memberscultural personallycornerstone knewof the kingnation inand hisspiritual timeruler onfor Civall 2.0time, andseceding CivClassic,the andtitle so,of accordingKing to the documentworld of permanent cultural myth, mustwhich simultaneouslyrests actabove asthe hisworld apostlesof parlimentary affairs, and judgesas such ought to thedictate nationits nature.
 
The Council never responded to reffelruz's letter.
This model of kingship places the origin of authority and law in the heavens. Peter is absent, yet is he king. The monarchy is selective, meaning the crown will remain in this state unless the crown itself selects a new host. The solution, according to reffelruz, is to represent the king with the use of his story, and to draw on the story as cultural and moral precedent; by modeling a national myth based on the story of the eternal king, a model for law is provided, as well as a model for the individual citizen; should Peter return, he would assume the role like that of a Roman God-Emperor; should he instead choose to crown another, he acts the role of the deity in heaven, declaring and anointing the new king with full divine right, maintaining the crown's connection to heaven in his passing; should he remain in heaven, then law too will remain in heaven, and the nation would continue to operate under the spirit of the King, as what might be called a theomonarchy.

[[File:Westminster2.jpg|thumb|'''Westminster,''' the capital of the Commonwealth]]
The Commonwealth was founded on a diverse cluster of biomes. The first town was built around the earliest established farms: cocao, melon and wheat farms planted next to a jungle by Peter5930 and [[Tabbynya]] - this would become the capital city of the nation. Other settlements began to pop up on surrounding islands, each establishing its own hierarchy and style of architecture to match the landscape on which it was founded. TheSuspended bridges and an extensive rail network were employed to connect the islands.
