'''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. The Commonwealth was established in 2.0 by Sashimii. [[Peter5930]] is king, and [[PergySkeel]] is the current Prime Minister. The Commonwealth provides free transportation throughout the world via Union Station in Westminster, promoting trade through Shopside, the subterranean marketplace surrounding the station. Leadership, architectural style, political ideology and economic specialization are unique to each settlement. The Commonwealth is a member of [[SATO]].

== Geography ==
[[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 became 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 unique landscape on which it was founded.
=== Westminster ===
Line 141:
=== 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.
=== Taliesin ===
Taliesin is one of the few boroughs created east of Westminster. Initially founded 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. It hosts the snowy mountains directly south of the city and a large pumpkin farm. Taliesin is currently under the leadership of Pergyskeel, who is leading and funding development of the borough, providing a large source of jobs to the country.

Line 154:
''Main article: [[Albion]]''
Albion is a large town spanning the northern peninsula of the central plain, forming a bridge between the cities of Westminster and [[Mount Augusta]]. Having made ties to the Commonwealth during the [[Somber War]], they joined the nation following the war's end. Albion is host to many large builds, including an airstrip, a large docking bay with a cruise ship off the coast, and a big blue sheep.
=== Hexcorp ===
Hexcorp is located in a mesa far northwest of Westminster. The corporation, headed by [[Mokuno]] and SerQ, headed the [[Hexagon]] in [[Fellowship]] during [[Civcraft 2.0]]. In Civclassic, Hexcorp joined the Commonwealth shortly after building a rail to the capital. The settlement is primarily geared towards XP production. Its current caretaker, [[NobleArchitect]], also helms the West CW Corp and its lands close by. Hexcorp was the location of the Commonwealth vault known as the Ironbank Vault but it is no longer in use.
=== Nymph ===
Line 168:
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]], who built 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. At first, the plains were notorious for skyfarms, and have been banned ever since. All farms are now made on the surface, and with the construction of the [[Great Overland Railway]], cities have cropped up in and around the plains. The town of Mana, being built by Falvyu, is currently being made in the north of the plains. A new, small city made by [[Sashimii]], a former CW monarch from 2.0, was made on an island formerly used for [[Charlameme]]. It was intended to be a home for newfriends who were enthusiastic about city planning, commonly known as YIMBYs, hence the name Yimbyville. It was the first home of [[AllenY]], the current Mount Augusta mayor.

Line 196:
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.
On 6 July 2017, a rail line was connected to Hexcorp and became a borough soon thereafter.
=== Prelude to the Somber War ===
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, six Lexington citizens alt-raided Westminster <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/6orti4/huge_attack_in_commonwealth_right_now/</ref>. It was the first major attack on the server, leaving the town in flames. The altraids continued for many days thereafter. Short sentences were given to captured raiders <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivCommonwealth/comments/6rq5zt/total_repayment_value_of_raiders/ </ref>.
On 13 August, sintralin pearled [[Bewsiej]] <ref> https://imgur.com/aTOQgKn</ref>, one of the alt-raiders, and handed his pearl to the Commonwealth, but mistakes in coal allocation allowed him to be released early. On the 22nd of August, he escaped and was granted asylum in the Lexington bunker. This resulted in Commonwealth officials removing the bunker.
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.
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.
Line 217:
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.
Line 225:
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 by obby bombing much of the city <ref>https://imgur.com/a/H5ya2</ref> . The city became near-dysfunctional, however, when admins found out, they removed most of the obsidian from the city, refunded their 120 stacks of obsidian as recompense and temporarily banned sintralin and [[ShoPork]], who deliberately lied to the admins to gain an advantage. While the grief was being cleaned up, Lodish, a member of the council, was pearled.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/ZsWnu Lodish</ref>
Mere days after the attacks, [[Jdcorral]] was pearled in Lexington <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/768fdf/i_am_pearled_from_cw_wanted_to_chestshop_for/</ref> while peacefully shopping for books.
On 14 October, MrLlamma submits a post to /r/Civclassics, "Why I Insided My Friends." <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/76dxcn/why_i_insided_my_friends</ref> In the post, he states that he deliberately gave information to the Commonwealth to prevent the pearling of more innocents. Although it was a heroic act that helped many, he was pearled for it.
[[File:Peter's End Castle.png|thumb|This is Peter's End Castle, built during when he was pearled by Lexington.]]
The following day, Peter5930 was pearled by [[Badash]], who was subsequently pearled ten days later. Peter, when he was not getting /ppkilled every 10 seconds, began building the foundations of what would become his impenetrable end castle <ref>https://imgur.com/a/ZDWBG</ref> which served as a haven for all pearled Western Alliance members.
On 9 November 2017, a new borough was founded <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/7dv9ha/nymph/</ref> - [[Nymph]] was built on an island to the far west by former [[Kraken]] founders [[Seekinq]], [[SpankMeHarder]], [[JayTeeR]], [[_Monkee]], and [[ItzJosh]].
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.
