=== The Early Days ===
On 14 May 2017, King Cowguypig made a [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivCommonwealth/comments/6b5qyi/the_commonwealth_lives_join_us_on_civex_30/ post] on the subreddit calling for all players to join Commonwealth in CivEx 3.0, and the remnants of Concordia and the Commonwealth united once more under the old flag to rebuild the nation which had pioneered security tactics and dominated commerce in the days of old. The town that resulted was a smaller town than former iterations, and they did not attain comparable political leverage or influence. CivEx 3.0 quickly died, and with the launch of CivClassic on June 2nd 2017, Commonwealth swiftly migrated to the new server.
 
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.

On 14 October, MrLlamma submits a post to /r/Civclassics, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/76dxcn/why_i_insided_my_friends/ "Why I Insided My Friends."]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.

The following day, Peter5930 was pearled by Badash, who was subsequently pearled ten days later.

On 9 November 2017, a new borough was [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/7dv9ha/nymph/ founded] - [[Nymph]] was built on an island to the far west by former [[Kraken]] founders Seekinq, SpankMeHarder, JayTeeR, _Monkee, and ItzJosh.
Line 126:
The Commonwealth prioritizes the following policies:
* Free markets, to encourage the individual citizen's industriousness, and to decentralize power and authority
* Internal security infrastructure in the capital city (walls, gated roads, moats, canals, maze-like city layouts, tunnels, etc.)
* Free trade between boroughs, facilitated by a public interborough rail system and Shopside, the nation's most secure marketplace
* Pro-immigration, providing a welcoming path for newcomers to become citizens through involvement in public projects and the acquisition of property
Line 135:
Commonwealth has one of the densest rail networks on the server, served by its main hub in Westminster and other stations within the area.
 
=== Westminster - Union Station ===
One of the Commonwealth's main goals was to provide free trade and transportation, andthroughout the world; to fulfill naturallythis goal, a large rail station was going towould be built therebeneath the capital city. Shopside,Surrounding Westminster'sthe station is marketplaceShopside, currently housesthe Westminsternation's mainpremier stationmarketplace. AlthoughA itrecent wasexpansion smallto atthe first, a recent expansionarea in early 2018 has established Westminster as a main train station on the server.

ItWestminster 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 notable connections at the time included [[SPQR]] and [[Southshire]], who have a grand train station of their own.

The new station makes it more spacious than the previous iteration, and makes connections a little more efficient. New rail connections are also coming in due to the newly invigorated station, most notably the [[Great Overland Railway]] connecting Commonwealth to farther places afield such as [[Mount Augusta]], [[Yoahtl]], [[Vinland]], and [[Okashima]].
 
=== The Boroughs ===
Arran's growth as a rail hub was more gradual, initially only gettingachieving connections to Westminster and Southshire,. but asAs more boroughs joinedwere established west of the city, it became an important transfer station within the area, and is now a local hub for the region. Notable connections from Arran now include Nymph, Meditat, Plantation, Southshire, and othersSouthshire.
