'''Volkstadt''' was the main city in /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.

== History ==

Historically, /Pol/ynesia was grouped into outposts, where people lived to produce XP for farms. Volkstadt was Kolima territory, but after the burning of Kolima by [[Camokool]], the Kolima-/Pol/ynesia Treaty of Friendship came into force, in which Kolima ceded half the forest biome in exchange for peace. Upon this biome was built the first tree farms and fields of what was originally a farming outpost. At first it was immerRichtig's responsibility, as the Minister of Agriculture under LuckyBlockz, while Himmler Highlands exploded in population and grew to be one of the larger cities in Chanada. [[Tigen]], the second ruler and first official Mayor of Volkstadt came from Himmler Highlands to take the town over, during which time Himmler Highlands withered away and began to die, with the remaining members dwindling and [[ZombieFork]] (the then Mayor) abandoning his post.

The demolition of Volkstadt Castle by [[bgbba]]: this is the watershed incident of bgbba's newfriend days. Where there is now a very nice building, there was once an unattractive castle that bgbba took a disliking to. The purpose of the town was to only have building that were used and the castle, which coated an entire mountain with stone brick armor plating with no reason for it, was an eyesore that he and others rallied around removing. Without asking immerRichtig, he blasted the castle until basically nothing remained after attempting to appoint numerous people as 'renovators' of the place, including Aukfear and Bubblint. Upon seeing the damage, Tigen exclaimed "Jesus christ, I thought that the chunks just weren't loading, but no, there's nothing left." in mumble. This nearly ended with the demotion of bgbba and could have potentially put a stop to his Civcraft career if the people advocating for his pearling had succeeded. Needless to say, bgbba apologized profusely and shaped up significantly afterwards.
