The Commonwealth is one of the more historic nations on the server, with some of its players veterans of the original Commonwealth in Civcraft 2.0. Although many others have returned from previous Commonwealth-associated iterations in CivTemp, and Civcraft 3.0, this iteration of the Commonwealth began on the onset of Civilization Experiment 3.
On 14 May 2017, Cowguypig made a
Cowguypig reigned as King in the first days, leaving development of the capital in the hands of then prime minister and former king, Sashimii. Plans for the road network and canals were drawn, and the rest would be left to the citizens to decide for themselves. Development was swift, but chaotic - players did what they wanted, took on the projects they wanted, reinforced on the groups they wanted, and top-down administration was nearly non-existent. From the wellspring of untamed construction was born the city of Westminster. Strassburg (created by fadedsoul) would spring up soon thereafter on a nearby mountain, becoming the first borough of the Commonwealth.
Westminster quickly became infamous for its extra security measures, including narrow winding streets gated regularly by iron doors, its [https://imgur.com/a/vzDRa canals], referred to before completion as trenches, and the first council's decision to
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
On 6 July 2017, a rail line was connected to Hexcorp and became a borough soon thereafter.
Line 201:
As the capital grew in size, so did raids in frequency; the city dwellers, largely untrained in combat, retreated to their homes at the sound of the armoured raiders' approach. Attacks on citizens were common and frequent, prompting Sintralin, queen of [[Lexington]], to request occupation of the city by her armed forces to aid in their eradication. This was at the dawn of Brinton's reign as king.
Though the presence of Lexington troops had quelled raider activity in Westminster, their occupation, coupled with the lack of administration over land development, brought with it new problems: when restless Lexington soldiers with few targets to engage began harassing citizens in the streets, tensions between the nations began to arise. On 21 July 2017,
On 13 August,
In late August, tensions rose in Westminster when ZeroRussia, CarrieUnderwear, and GeneralWindu raided ThePayman's and Ez2Crew's factory building.
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.
Line 213:
On 24 September 2017, the Battle of the Boeing 911 took place above the cityscape of Westminster. It was the only time the Boeing 911 was used for fighting purposes, along with Lexington alts fighting to take it.

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.
Line 223:
The following day, [[Sintralin]] and [[Lexington]] declare war on the Commonwealth, using the breaking of Lexington's bunker in Westminster as a casus belli.
=== During The Somber War ===
Less than a day after the declaration of war, Lexington used the obsidian given to them by the admins to enact a grand assault on Westminster
Mere days after the attacks,

That same day, Lexington presented terms of surrender to the Commonwealth, which included unconditional surrender and permapearling of Peter. After deliberation with the Council, King Brinton declined; [[Lexington]] approached the council once more later that month with lighter terms, but Brinton once more declined.

In late January, jdcorral and Lodish were released after building houses for Lexington officials.
Around the same time, [[Southshire]] decided to secede, leaving
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.
After failed peace talks, the war became a stalemate. [[Falstadt]] elected to make the first move and began a two-day offensive on the [[Lexington Vault]]. After pearling five [[Lexington]] soldiers, the [[Western Alliance]] broke through the vault gate; Lexington evacuated the vault and left the pearls inside, and a day later, all pearled individuals were freed and
