The Commonwealth is a nation based in the southwest(-,+), and is a conglomerate of city states comprised of members from many former Civcraft Nations. Peter5930 is the current King. It was formally part of both the [[Western Alliance]], and is now currently part of [[SATO]]. The Commonwealth promotes free trade and transportation throughout the rest of the server, bythough useShopside,its ofsubterranean itsmarketplace, largeand ShopsideUnion mallStation, andit central train station. Each of the city states, known colloquially as boroughs, retains local political and economic independence while referring federal matters of state to the King and Council. Leadership, architectural style, political ideology and economic specialization are unique to each borough. Boroughs include the mountaintop retreat of Strassburg, the corporate offices of Hexcorp, the man-made island of Taliesin, the desert metropolis of Meditat, a prodigious, terrifyingPeter's end[[End castleCitadel]], and the capital city of Westminster, with its new upcoming city area, Victoria, memorializing the attacks on Westminster during the [[Somber War]].
 
== History ==
 
=== The Early Days ===
On 14 May 2017, 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 the 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.
