The Commonwealth is a nation based in the southwest(-,+) - a conglomerate of city states comprised of members from many former Civcraft Nations. Peter5930 is the current King. Formerly a [[Western Alliance]] members, it is now a member of [[SATO]]. The Commonwealth provides free transportation throughout the serverwestern world though Union Station in Westminster, and promotes trade inthrough Shopside, the subterranean marketplace surrounding the 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 Arran plantation,the man-made island of Taliesin, the desert metropolis of Meditat, Peter's [[End Citadel]], 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 result was a smaller town than former iterations, which did not attain comparable political leverage or influence. CivEx 3.0 quickly died, and with the launch of CivClassic on June 2nd 2017, the Commonwealth swiftly migrated to the new serverworld.
 
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.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
 
=== Post-War ===
Peter returned amongst the prisoners of war as their king; their arrival was met with cheers and celebration across the country. His coronation would take place on the first of May, in the field which was once his farm. He would give this land to the people who fought to end the war, and those who remained through the war to preserve the nation. They would use it to construct a brand new city - one that would stand tall and proud amongst the others to memorialize the nation's enduring legacy and victory over Lexington.
 
Following the war, activities resurged within the Commonwealth.
 
UponIn returningthe first week, Peter declared derelict many inactive houses in Westminster, and promptly tore them to their foundations. AThe new section of the city, entitled Victoria, then began its planning stages. It was to replace the old city farms, and would represent a new start for Westminster, with stronger security measures, making it a proper, secure citadel, as well as a more extensive building code, balancing security and aesthetics like never before in the nation's history. Building of infrastructure is nearly complete, and the city has begun taking in residents, workers, shopkeepers, scribes and guards.
 
With more people arriving in the Commonwealth, its position as a central rail hub for much of the server makes it one of the most optimal locations in the world for trade. As a result, people increasingly set up shop within Shopside, including [[Yoahtl]], [[Falstadt]], [[Etherium]], and many more. There are so many shops that at times, demand is exceeding supply.

=== Westminster - Union Station ===
One of the Commonwealth's main goals was to provide free trade and transportation throughoutacross the worldmap; 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 notable connections at the time included [[SPQR]] and [[Southshire]], who have a grand train station of their own.

=== The Boroughs ===
Arran's growth as a rail hub was gradual, 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. Notable connections from Arran include Nymph, Meditat, Plantation, and Southshire.
