'''Yoahtl''' (variously pronounced /jo.hwa.tl/, /jo.dl/, /jo.hwa.tɬ/ or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g_EX5k9VAM /jo.a.təl/] ) is a nation in the Totecan continent of [[CivMC]]. It boasts a bustling economy and prioritizes art, community and security. Yoahtl is known for its bustling life in its walled capital city, called [[Altepetl]], where the strict [[dereliction]] policies and apartments ensure that there are no buildings or spaces deemed useless within the city. |

Yoahtl is a fairly old nation that was founded on this server by St.Leibowitz, [[Quauhtli_Mia]], Klasikrok, WackyAki and [[User:Bgbba|Bgbba]]. It has a bustling economy and prioritizes art, community and security. It was a member of the [[Western Alliance]] during the [[Somber War]] and helped destroy the [[Lexington]] [[vault]] towards the end of the war. Yoahtl is also known for the fact it is a bustling and lived in city, where the strict [[dereliction]] laws and large apartments ensure that there are no useless buildings or spaces in the city. |
|||
== History == |
== History == |
||
| ⚫ | |||
=== Pre-CivClassics === |
|||
The origin of Yoahtl lies shrouded mostly in myth, legend, and non-living memory. Quauhtli_Mia has recorded most of Yoahtl's history into a series of volumes ingame. For a brief background here: Yoahtl divides its history into a series of 'Eras', each with their own feeling and style and population. There have been nearly a dozen of these, but for our purposes there have been four in the Civ server genre: |
|||
==== The Era of Resettlement ==== |
|||
This era was marked by the end of Meloncraft and the exodus of many Yoahtlans to Civcraft 2.0. This era began in Meloncraft and was characterized by a sense of being lost and purposeless. The community struggled to survive and adapt to the new environment of Civcraft. This era came to an end with the coming of the Goodspringers and St_Leibowitz, the future Alcuahtl, who took a look at Yoahtl's governing traditions and found them lacking. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
==== The Era of Dissent ==== |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
This era was the era of Yoahtl's many attempts at a constitution and governmental reform. It was an era formed out of the necessity of change to the community that came from being on a new server. However, the incongruity between the attempted reforms and Yoahtl's traditions led to a period of intense disorganization and power struggles, allowing proliferation of selfish interests. Faced with the ongoing infighting and ineffective governance brought on by corruption and poor governmental reforms, the community split and shattered, leaving Yoahtl nearly dead. During the worst of these times, Yoahtl consisted of Quauhtli_Mia, Klasikrok, WackyAki, And St. Leibowitz. |
|||
The Alcuahtl is Yoahtl's highest executive official and head of state, and by tradition the Alcuahtl owns Yoahtl's discord server and namelayer groups. The council selects the Alcuahtl amongst the trusted citizens of Yoahtl, generally citizens who have been in Yoahtl for a really long time. Every two months a vote of confidence is held by the council to confirm or reject the Alcuahtl; the Alcuahtl must be an elected Councillor. If there is an egregious violation of law the Alcuahtl can be impeached by the council, and until the seat is refilled, the Deputy Alcuahtl steps in. |
|||
==== The Era of Reclaimation ==== |
|||
The Deputy Alcuahtl is the Alcuahtl's second in command, filling in when the Alcuahtl is unavailable. Traditionally, the deputy Alcuahtl will serve as the Chieftan of Yoahtl, otherwise the cultural leader of Yoahtl. Most of the relationships between Yoahtl's citizens and government is maintained by the Deputy Alcuahtl, this includes intra-national homesteads and autonomous nations within Yoahtl and the government. |
|||
This era is marked by the return to traditions and a more informal governing style and focus on community rather than politics. This era began after the arrival of Yoahtl to its current home. This era also is marked with the removal of redundant or useless laws and regulation and ensuring that those in power make rules to serve the populace and build community rather than gaining power. This era has come of age during the [[Somber War]], but ended with the Lex vault break and the formation of [[SATO]]. |
|||
''' |
'''History''' |
||
Under the 1st Charter, there was no legal mechanism for removing an Alcuahtl, although citizens could still bring a trial against them. |
|||
This era has yet to be defined, because we're currently in it. |
|||
Under the 1st and 2nd Charters, each Alcuahtl was nominated by their predecessor. While the 1st Charter stated that upon an Alcuahtl's abdication the Deputy should succeed them, in practice this often did not occur. [[TheOrangeWizard]] was nominated twice by outgoing Alcuahtls, first St_Liebowitz and second [[M_M_Mod_Shot]], bypassing bgbba who was Deputy in both instances. |
|||
== Cities == |
|||
Under the 2nd Charter, the office of Deputy Alcuahtl did not exist. |
|||
=== New Yoahtl City === |
|||
The capital of the Yoahtlan kingdom, often known simply as NYC. Built on a great terracotta mesa/dark oak forest island in the (-,+) after the Yoahtlans were chased out of their own home, Axochitlan, it is a dense metropolis built around the philosophy that activity begets activity. While most cities and towns on the server are large and sprawling, Yoahtl maintains strict dereliction policies in order to keep the urban center as bustling as possible. New players who are not yet sure of their commitment to the game are offered apartments in one of the many public housing buildings. In order to maximize use of space as well as for aesthetic reasons, citizens are encouraged to build their living and storage quarters above their shops in a mixed-use arrangement. Space-intensive economic activity such as farming is done outside the walls. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
One benefit of NYC's density is that it makes it much easier to defend. It takes fewer snitches, bastions, and beacons to cover the entire city, and because there are so many eyes around at all times anyone trying to sneak in to steal would be found immediately. Furthermore the town center is surrounded by walls and its famous trench, which extends all the way down to bedrock and makes casual entry infeasible. Inside the walls, the maze of tangled streets, back alleys, and underground tunnel networks make navigation difficult to everyone but longtime residents. Yoahtlans consider their well-defended capital to be a point of national pride and strength. |
|||
In addition to the Alcuahtl, the nation is governed by elected councillors, the number of which varies depending on circumstance. Councillors are citizens periodically elected to their position and hold limited executive authority. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Barrow is a small farm producing town near by New Yoahtl city. Its largest product is pumpkins, and it is the source of most of Yoahtl's pumpkins. |
|||
'''History''' |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
Under the 1st Charter, the Council acted as judiciary, legislature, and executive in the Yoahtl government. In most cases, the Alcuahtl could veto decisions of a councillor or councillors, but not decisions of a unanimous council. |
|||
'''<big>Axochitlan</big>''' |
|||
Under the 2nd Charter, the elected Council did not exist. Instead, the Alcuahtl appointed Olotics to hold offices under the Alcuahtl's otherwise absolute executive authority. The 2nd Charter also transferred the Council's legislative role to a direct democracy, and the judiciary was made independent under the High Justice (although an Olotic would still serve as judge in a given case). |
|||
The original settlement on the server, which has been reclaimed and revived under the direction of Quauhtli_mia. |
|||
Under the 3rd Charter, the elected Council was restored but not its legislative or judicial powers. Since the passing of the 3rd charter, much of the councils legislative and judicial ability was restored, but generally law passed by petition is more highly regarded than law passed by the council. |
|||
== Economy == |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Yoahtl has a strong economy, with a competitive market for most goods, fostered by the density of NYC and the proliferation of outlying towns. |
|||
The judiciary system of Yoahtl is handled on discord or reddit. If a crime occurs on Yoahtlan territory, against a Yoahtlan citizen or a case is referred to us given special interest then by law the judicial system must handle it. The Chief Justice of the Yoahtlan courts is SpaceVolcano, who will first hear the case and decide if the case will be taken up or not. If the case is to be taken up, one of the councilors, generally one with little conflicting interest in the case, will be appointed as the judge. After the case is finished, the councilor will state the verdict. If the verdict is appealed, then the Chief Justice directly will hear the case and decide on the appeal or not. |
|||
== Leadership == |
|||
The leader of Yoahtl is the Alcuahtl. The way one becomes Alcuahtl is to be selected by the current Alcuahtl to serve as their successor, although this has more frequently than not been the Deputy Alcuahtl. The Alcuahtl is the absolute ruler, but they are not above the law and the citizenry are allowed to take the Alcuahtl to trial. The Alcuahtl has access to the entirety of the government wealth, but such wealth can only be used for governmental purposes. The current Alcuahtl is bgbba. |
|||
=== Legislature === |
|||
The Deputy Alcuahtl is similar to a vice president, and has the full power of the Alcuahtl when they are not around. They also help the Alcuahtl by doing duties delegated to them by the Alcuahtl. They are elected from the Council by the Council. |
|||
The Ololtic is the primary Legislative body of Yoahtl, as citizens of Yoahtl are also the Oltoltic, any public proposals made require a huge amount of public support to pass. Two-thirds of the active citizenry of Yoahtl must vote in the affirmative for a public proposal in order for it to pass. For this reason, proposal law is held in the highest regard in Yoahtl. The council's law is also fairly highly regarded, but is also limited in what can be passed. Amendments to the charter require a proposal law to be passed, and 2/3rds of the council must be in agreement for there to be a declaration or war passed and for territorial acquisition. As a result of this, most of the councilors have responsibilities outside of the legislature. This includes bastion production, building dereliction, auditing, and public relations. |
|||
The nation is also ruled by a group of councillors. These councillors are citizens who were elected to their position in order to foster community, pass laws and lead the nation in accordance with the Alcuahtl. The deputy Alcuahtl is a councillor as well, but the Alcuahtl is not. The current councillors are Feathercrown, Spacevolcano, gbrbgryn, and Tigen. |

Government
Alcuahtl
The Alcuahtl is Yoahtl's highest executive official and head of state, and by tradition the Alcuahtl owns Yoahtl's discord server and namelayer groups. The council selects the Alcuahtl amongst the trusted citizens of Yoahtl, generally citizens who have been in Yoahtl for a really long time. Every two months a vote of confidence is held by the council to confirm or reject the Alcuahtl; the Alcuahtl must be an elected Councillor. If there is an egregious violation of law the Alcuahtl can be impeached by the council, and until the seat is refilled, the Deputy Alcuahtl steps in.
The Deputy Alcuahtl is the Alcuahtl's second in command, filling in when the Alcuahtl is unavailable. Traditionally, the deputy Alcuahtl will serve as the Chieftan of Yoahtl, otherwise the cultural leader of Yoahtl. Most of the relationships between Yoahtl's citizens and government is maintained by the Deputy Alcuahtl, this includes intra-national homesteads and autonomous nations within Yoahtl and the government.
History
Under the 1st Charter, there was no legal mechanism for removing an Alcuahtl, although citizens could still bring a trial against them.
Under the 1st and 2nd Charters, each Alcuahtl was nominated by their predecessor. While the 1st Charter stated that upon an Alcuahtl's abdication the Deputy should succeed them, in practice this often did not occur. TheOrangeWizard was nominated twice by outgoing Alcuahtls, first St_Liebowitz and second M_M_Mod_Shot, bypassing bgbba who was Deputy in both instances.
Under the 2nd Charter, the office of Deputy Alcuahtl did not exist.
Council
In addition to the Alcuahtl, the nation is governed by elected councillors, the number of which varies depending on circumstance. Councillors are citizens periodically elected to their position and hold limited executive authority.
History
Under the 1st Charter, the Council acted as judiciary, legislature, and executive in the Yoahtl government. In most cases, the Alcuahtl could veto decisions of a councillor or councillors, but not decisions of a unanimous council.
Under the 2nd Charter, the elected Council did not exist. Instead, the Alcuahtl appointed Olotics to hold offices under the Alcuahtl's otherwise absolute executive authority. The 2nd Charter also transferred the Council's legislative role to a direct democracy, and the judiciary was made independent under the High Justice (although an Olotic would still serve as judge in a given case).
Under the 3rd Charter, the elected Council was restored but not its legislative or judicial powers. Since the passing of the 3rd charter, much of the councils legislative and judicial ability was restored, but generally law passed by petition is more highly regarded than law passed by the council.
Judiciary
The judiciary system of Yoahtl is handled on discord or reddit. If a crime occurs on Yoahtlan territory, against a Yoahtlan citizen or a case is referred to us given special interest then by law the judicial system must handle it. The Chief Justice of the Yoahtlan courts is SpaceVolcano, who will first hear the case and decide if the case will be taken up or not. If the case is to be taken up, one of the councilors, generally one with little conflicting interest in the case, will be appointed as the judge. After the case is finished, the councilor will state the verdict. If the verdict is appealed, then the Chief Justice directly will hear the case and decide on the appeal or not.
Legislature
The Ololtic is the primary Legislative body of Yoahtl, as citizens of Yoahtl are also the Oltoltic, any public proposals made require a huge amount of public support to pass. Two-thirds of the active citizenry of Yoahtl must vote in the affirmative for a public proposal in order for it to pass. For this reason, proposal law is held in the highest regard in Yoahtl.
