It is located on the [[CivMC]] server in the -,- quadrant on the [[Northlandia]] continent and runs the the east coast up to the north pole. It has previously existed on many other Civ servers, notably in the +,+ quadrant of [[CivClassic]] on land West of [[Odresh]] under the protectorate of [[Yoahtl]], in the north mountains ranges of [[CivReign]] as well as on renditions of [[CivRev]].
 
== Politics ==
Winterbourne's primary duty is to protect and uphold the will of '''THE TREE''', it encompasses a world view of peace and harmony through its demonstrated neutrality and diplomacy. It holds historical ties with Yoahtl for which it adopts its law and order from. It also has historical ties with [[Icenia]] and Jomsviking.
 
== Citizenship ==
Citizenship of Winterbourne is granted only by honorary royal decree to those who show respect and kindness to Royal House of Winterbourne.
 
All citizens of [[Yoahtl]] are granted honorary citizenship of Winterbourne automatically for as long as the Yoahtl "House of Winterbourne Act" is active.
 
== Law and Order ==
 
Winterbourne adopts [[Yoahtl]] law by voluntary consent and delegates the tasks of legislation, crime and national security to the [[Yoahtl]] government under the "Winterbourne Peace Declaration" and the "The House of Winterbourne Act".
 
Specifically "The House of Winterbourne Act" obligates and allows [[Yoahtl]] to legally legislate, perform justice and protect The Royal House of Winterbourne. All subjects of the crown of Winterbourne are expected to abide by the laws of [[Yoahtl]] as if it were a citizen, though this does not automatically assume citizenship of [[Yoahtl]].
 
While [[Yoahtl]] law and order is adopted, the reigning monarch of Winterbourne holds a royal prerogative of creating and enacting law, meting out punishment and declaring war by order and cannot be held accountable to its laws outside of Yoahtl borders. It should be noted however this royal prerogative has historically neververy rarely been exercised and only once to date.
 
== THE TREE ==
THE TREE is a sacred spruce tree, it is unassuming and unlikely to ever be found, only the Royal Princess Bow knows its location.
 
Line 26:
Yoahtl passed a the Spruce Protection Act, which forbade the felling of Spruce trees in an area known to be the host to THE TREE in the Classics rendition of the CIV universe, this brought them many good fortune.
 
== History ==

=== Winterbourne Atol ===
Winterboure Atol was an island secured near the South Pole of the CivRev world allowing it's citizens a place of warmth and comfort to recoup, re-energise and reflect before returning to the mainland. The acquisition of the land so far away from its mainland was an unusual and unprecedented move from the Winterbourne government which may remain an anomaly in its history.

An area desolate of life, the people of Winterbourne are of hard stock and make do with little; though do enjoy the privilege of having a special relationship with Yoahtl allowing its citizens to visit and roam in sunnier climates.
=== Icenian Embassy ===

It stands some 10 stories high and built in a modern skyscraper style, but draws on the much older architectural style of Winterbourne Castle using stone and spruce interior features.
