Line 146:
=== Arran ===
Arran is located directly west of the Commonwealth. Arran has had a previous history on Civcraft 2.0 and [[brinton]] brought Arran to the Commonwealth on a snowy island west of Westminster. Although many people know it as an industrial area mainly focused on XP production, Arran houses a large train station, a huge Spleef and Archery arena that is free for people to use, the Bridgeway Social Club, and the Arran Theatre, the only public theatre in the Commonwealth. Arran possesses an extensive rail network, forming a regional hub connecting the capital city and neighbouring [[Southshire]] to the westward settlements.
An extension of Arran, the Plantation, was made on an island east of Arran and west of Westminster. Founded by [[DarkyDu]], it is occasionally active and houses smaller farms. A local rail from Arran has been established to Plantation.
Line 168:
After [[Kraken]] dissolved early within the iteration, its founders relocated to a beach in the far west of the map and began to colonize. Soon after, they dug out a rail to then-borough [[Southshire]] and were offered admission into the Commonwealth as a borough. Nymph served as the start and finish line for the Marathon in the second Olympics. Housing a large beach, Nymph was the spiritual successor to Kraken and is well-liked throughout the rest of the Commonwealth.
Nymph left the Commonwealth as an independent nation, in February 2018. It departed at the same time as [[Southshire]], citing fatigue and inactivity from the Somber War. It reclaimed its old territories from Kraken from this move. Upon rejoining the Commonwealth in July, both Nymph and Kraken became territories of the Commonwealth.
=== Strassburg ===
Line 199:
After a rocky start, Shopside opened to the public, and the city became a central rail hub for much of the Southwest. As more expansions for shops occurred in the area surrounding the station, more people made a stop in Westminster to trade.
Soon after the move, many different settlements appeared near the capital and became boroughs of the Commonwealth. One such settlement was [[Southshire]], founded by [[Orinnari]] and [[StrPlatinum]] on 25 June 2017, roughly 800 blocks away on a peninsula in the south.
Meditat was settled by [[ZeeTip]] and mike0war on a desert<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6ld1cn/the_claims_of_meditat/</ref> far to the northwest of Westminster 5 July 2017 - a dense city surrounding a remote oasis in the Harakur desert, neighboured by a complex of various factories and xp farms<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6px8pg/introducing_meditat/</ref>. The desert city is home to a number of temples, and a new 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.
Line 214:
In late August, tensions rose in Westminster when [[ZeroRussia]], [[CarrieUnderwear]], and [[GeneralWindu]] raided [[ThePayman]]'s and Ez2Crew's factory building. Arbitration was offered <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivCommonwealth/comments/6w1zvz/here_to_arbitrate_between_zerojaaerkzoltan/</ref>, but Payman and Ez2Crew eventually left the Commonwealth to join Lexington.
At the September elections in [[Southshire]], [[Saren_Solaris]] became an elected official in [[Southshire]], and it eventually became one of the most active cities on the server. It had more orderly canals than Westminster, and a stronger focus on building and aesthetics, eschewing the cumbersome security infrastructure found in the capital. However, during mid-September, Sintralin contacted the Chancellor of [[Southshire]], [[StrPlatinum]], to offer [[Southshire]] secession to Lexington. It was nearly accepted, but prevented last-minute through negotiations made by former Commonwealth Minister Sashiimi.
On 21 September 2017, Westminster was attacked by Bewsiej, [[XyngSnow]] and [[Posedion]]. Peter5930 was pearled but eventually got out at the cost of a beacon.
Line 222:
On 26 September 2017, Brinton seized the throne from Cowguypig <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivCommonwealth/comments/72o7pk/peace_in_our_time/</ref> and took a more aggressive position on the upcoming war with Lexington.
On 27 September 2017, it was discovered that Saren_Solaris had been in communication with [[poortea]] <ref>https://imgur.com/a/GW3oT</ref> in an attempt to cause [[Southshire]]'s secession from the Commonwealth and start a war. Following this, Saren was promptly pearled by Westminster officials.
On 4 October 2017, Peter5930 discovers an illegal iron farm and reports it to the admins. Lexington repaid the iron but were compensated with 120 compacted stacks of obsidian.
On 8 October 2017, as tensions continued to grow, [[Sintralin]] messages [[StrPlatinum]] threatening to treat [[Southshire]] the same way as Westminster if they don't declare neutrality in the war.
The following day, [[Sintralin]] and [[Lexington]] declare war on the Commonwealth, using the breaking of Lexington's bunker in Westminster as a casus belli.
