===Venice and the Jeffersonian Confederacy===
Venice, the floating city upon which Venne is built, was originally constructed by "mattheww" shortly after his joining of CivClassics in 2018. Originally traveling to [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)]], he was exiled from the city due to his involvement in an incident of civil unrest. For a while after this, he found himself living as a hermit in southern MtA, until he came into contact with an individual who owned an incredibly small chunk of land off the coast. Convincing the man to sell it to him for "like 10 iron ingots or some ridiculously cheap amount," matt sailed off to stake his claim. The island itself was roughly a 5x5 square of sand, the site upon which mattheww would construct his city.
With his newly acquired island and an inventory full of resources, matt got to work. To begin, he leveled the island and built his home, which now stands as the guard tower, Venne's oldest building and one of its protected historical landmarks. He then set up the essentials for the time, such as a farm and a mine which is in use by the residents of Venne to this day. Over time, he would expand the area to include apartments, a general store, a town square, and more. With the city's expansion came the need to define its shape, and thus he began using the cobblestone he had acquired to construct a wall around the city, hoping to restrict builds and create a densely populated metropolis along the lines of [[Yoahtl]]'s capital of Nixochitlan, claiming that, "This would resolve the issue MtA had where it was absolutely massive and difficult to traverse."
Around the same time, the region was seeing the growth of the [[Jefferson Confederacy]], a union of smaller nations clustered nearby to Mount Augusta. Seeking support and resources, matt applied to join and was graciously accepted into the Confederacy on October 12th of 2018. As a part of a joint venture during this time, they built an outpost nearby to a nether island North East of the city, which serves as the basis of Venne's modern claims in that area.
While sporadically coming on to engage in projects such as the rail to Brodre, JC (now [[Wesbury]]) or the general maintenance of the city itself, mattheww's activity on CivClassics eventually faded in favor of the newly arising CivEx, which the Jeffersonian Confederacy largely shifted over to due to beliefs at the time that CivClassics may soon go down for good. Effectively abandoning Venice in favor of the construction of "NeoJefferson" on CivEx, mattheww entrusted the care of Venice to CryptoBlok, founding member of the Jeffersonian Confederacy in early January of 2019. During this period, Venice would weather the throes of the server, being griefed at least one confirmed time and almost certainly many other incidents went unreported.
