'''Volkstadt''' was the main city in [[Polynesia|/Pol/ynesia]] and one of the largest on [[Civcraft 2.0]]. It was a living city, in which all buildings were used and maintained, if they weren't they were torn down or sold off. Thus, the cityscape changed, grew, and shrank with the population. It was home to most of the government officials and was the place where all new players that were joining /Pol/ynesia were assimilated to the server. Though by area it may be smaller than many cities of similar size, the city had anywhere from 10 to 15 people on daily and had about 24/7 activity with a variety of people from different nations, including Sweden, England, Germany, Canada, the United States, and formerly a contingent of Belgians. English was the lingua franca and the dominant group of players were American fascists, monarchists, libertarians, and other members of the alternative Right Wing. The city was also heavily pro-Nox and anti-World Police and served as the cultural center for the eastern half of [[Chanada]], with members of its community forming or joining many of the newer nations that had cropped up, notably [[Neustria]], /K/ompound, [[Tygrus]], and [[Spainland]]. Economically, it formed the beating heart of /Pol/ynesia's XP production and was a hub of trading and merchant activity that dominated the surrounding area.

Line 31:
The third great fire was irrelevant enough to have been lost to time. If anybody remembers, please tell. The likeliest candidate is the burning of Traviskun's house and the elimination of the last medieval-themed structure in town.
The fourth great fire was when Tigen and bgbba decided that the old Bunkhousen was ugly and out of place. Made entirely of dark oak planks, the bunkhouse had seen better days. Successive waves of newfriends had turned a once acceptably shitty build into the city's equivalent of a roach motel. Holes in the walls and floors, reinforced crap that hadn't been kicked out from months ago, various patches of strange colored wood and wool carpeting, and the result of a million halfassed repair jobs had rendered the landmark an absolute mess. Something had to be done. Taking a flint and steel, Tigen, bgbba, Asatarncasning, and a few others decided to burn down the top two floors, leaving the two or three underground levels alone. Naturally, this did not happen and the resulting fire ravaged downtown, cooking and killing Rick1011 (King of Spainland) and numerous other denizens who attempted to loot the chests and goodies hidden in the walls from four months of new players. The mad rush to get the scraps of iron ore, gold pickaxes, and other goodies picked the massive pit clean before the fire was even out. Though the Spainland Fire Patrol showed up to stop the blaze, the fire damaged the face of numerous buildings around the town, resulted in several deaths, and one of the funniest mumble recordings in /Pol/ynesian history as bgbba reflected on his poor choice of demolition methods while he nearly burned to death from the roof. Had the Aufdenstadt building and the Ore Exchange still had their wool faces, the entire downtown would have been flattened.
