'''The Commonwealth''' '''(CW)''' is 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. Its namesake was made from Commonwealth in 2.0, and is a spiritual successor to the country. Peter5930 is king, and Falyvu is the current Prime Minister. Formerly a member of the [[Western Alliance]], Commonwealth is currently a member of [[SATO]]. The Commonwealth provides free transportation throughout the world though Union Station in Westminster, promoting trade through Shopside, the subterranean marketplace surrounding the station.

Line 120:
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 also has an extensive rail network Initially only achieving connections to Westminster and Southshire, as more boroughs were established west of the city, it became a local hub for the region, now providing local connections within and around the island. Notable connections from Arran include Nymph, Meditat, Plantation, and Southshire.
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.
=== Taliesin ===
Taliesin is one of the few boroughs created east of Westminster. Initially made by former Prime Minister and current admin LordOfMarzipan as well as jayms, it was intended to be a large megabuild of a city with large canals and an equally large train station located in the middle of the city. Although it has some houses standing and a factory building, Taliesin is mostly undeveloped. Taliesin does hold the snowy mountains directly south of the city and houses a large pumpkin farm.
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,

Line 139:
=== Nymph ===
''Main article:'' ''[[Nymph]]''
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, it dug out a rail to then-borough [[Southshire]] and was offered to join the Commonwealth as a borough. It served as the starting line for the Marathon in the second Olympics. Housing a large beach, Nymph was the spiritual successor to Kraken and was well-liked throughout the rest of the Commonwealth.
Line 146:
=== Strassburg ===
Strassburg (stylized Straßburg) was one of the first boroughs to join the Commonwealth. It consists of the Mesa and Snow Mountains located northeast of Westminster, as well as the plains in the far south.
It was initially made by fadedsoul, building a small village and still incomplete cathedral in a valley. After difficulties with joining, the king, Cowguypig, began work on his grand mansion in another valley close by. However, after fadedsoul became inactive, no regulation was made and because snow biomes were one of the best biomes to harvest pumpkins in, many pumpkin farms were made to ramp up XP production. When fadedsoul returned, he attempted to combat this, attempting to pass a bill through the legislature to ban pumpkin farms without explicit permission. The measure failed, and the farms currently remain. Work on a new city has halted, although the arches still remain.
In the plains, various cities have come and gone.
== Transportation ==
Line 159:
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]], [[Impasse]] and [[Falstadt]]. Other connections at the time included [[SPQR]] and [[Southshire]].
Surrounding the station is Shopside, the nation's premier marketplace.

Line 223:
In late January, jdcorral and Lodish were released after building houses for Lexington officials.
Around the same time, [[Southshire]] decided to secede, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/7qeqv0/yoahtl_annexes_southshire/ leaving for Yoahtl.] It was a very controversial decision, but they decided it was for the best to bring the city back to its former glory. In addition, Nymph decided to go independent on 8 February 2018, to avoid any further drama with the war, and build peacefully. Both cities continue to be close with the Commonwealth.
By March 2018, the war slowly declined, bringing about a new sense of spirit, and a desire to bring the Commonwealth back to its former glory. A new station was made after extensive planning that brought a massive overhaul to its current rail hub.
Line 246:
On 7 January 2019, Commonwealth hosted the [[Second Olympics]], to much success. For many, people have regarded it as an improvement from the previous Olympics, as more nations were represented and it was a much more organized affair. After LordOfMarzipan was named an admin in early 2019 after the Olympics, mike0war was elected to be the new Prime Minister, with specificlanguage as the deputy. Westminster has continued to be a grand hub for builders, writers, newfriends throughout the winter and spring.
Prime ministers have been peacefully and ceremoniously handed off every three months or so, with specificlanguage, Lodish, and currently Falyvu as the prime minister since December 2019.
