=== The Early Days ===
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 [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 world.

=== 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.
In the first week, Peter declared derelict many inactive houses in Westminster, and promptly tore them to their foundations. The new city 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. This became the new Victoria section of Westminster, a fortified city that is similar to New Yoahtl City.
Although Commonwealth was not a founder of [[SATO]], it was invited because of its reputation in the Somber War, and happily accepted the invitation to the defensive alliance.
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.
On 3 July 2018, [[Nymph]] decided to reenter the Commonwealth, and was passed by the legislature that same day.
Around the same time, [[Albion]] joined the Commonwealth after a long period of independence. It was to join the Commonwealth much earlier, but joined on 4 July 2018.
In fall 2018, the Commonwealth made its first link to the deep +,+ through the [[Entranan Transcontinental Express]] to the [[Entranan Republic]], with other stops in [[Okashima]] and soon [[Maltovia]]. Commonwealth continued to be a haven for new players and a refreshing take on a newfriend town compared to [[Mount Augusta]] nearby. Although welcoming, many know Commonwealth for its excellent reputation, helped by its legislature and prime minister.
On 7 January 2019, Commonwealth hosted the [[Second Olympics]], to much success. For many, people have regarded it as an improvement from the previous Olympics, as more nations were represented and it was a much more organized affair.
