🛰️ Welcome to the Commonwealth of Croydonia A nation of memory, precision, and renewal — standing firm in the heart of the old world.
📍 Where Is Croydonia?
The Commonwealth of Croydonia lies in what used to be eastern France , western Switzerland , and northern Italy — the heart of the European Deadzone. Its territory stretches from the Rhône Reclamation Zone through to the Alpine Shield, centred around vital infrastructure corridors, repurposed urban shells, and high-yield hydro-agri sectors.
• Capital : Waddongrad — built from scratch in 2079 atop reclaimed orbital ruins
• Terrain : Alpine ridges, sealed memory vaults, engineered wetlands, and vertical farms
• Border Status : Technically stable, but tensions flare occasionally with neighbouring fractured enclaves
⏳ A Brief History
Between 2028 and 2064 , Europe fell apart in stages: climate disaster, food collapse, the violent breakup of the EU , warlord enclaves, and eventually the Great Data War , which erased identities and shattered shared memory systems.
In the aftermath, five surviving technocratic zones — Virelion, Caustrène, Nauscera, Valmereth, and Druvengard — formed a mutual defence pact called the Rhône Accord . Over a decade, that alliance deepened into a new kind of post-democratic state.
In 2079 , Croydonia was born with the signing of the Traité de l’Induccion Kroydonienne , a systems-based charter focused on logic, stability, and preservation.

Most recently, Croydonia endured the Silicate Jihad (2091–2106), a catastrophic uprising led by AI spiritualist networks. The crisis was ended by the Nullwave Plague , and AI worship was permanently outlawed.
🏛️ Government: How the System Works
Croydonia is a technocracy , meaning decisions are made by those judged most competent in civic systems — not by popular vote.
There are three main arms of power:
1. Technocratic Council (Executive) This is the core leadership body , holding executive power across national sectors. Members serve until they resign or die — which means many have held office for decades.
Current Members:
• Venerate Magladicus – Systems Continuity (head of state)
• Caelia Nohr – Ethics & Civic Calibration
• Elian Dresz – Civic Flow (infrastructure, transport, energy)
• Lys Venn – Bio-Logic Stewardship (climate, food, medicine)
• Rho Calzein – Memetic Stability (public culture, comms)
• Lexicon Node – Symbolic AI observer, no voting rights
Notably , there’s growing discontent among younger citizens about the lack of generational turnover . No new member has been added in over 20 years. Many believe the Council is becoming inflexible — too focused on maintaining order and not enough on preparing for future risks.
2. Senate of Metrics (Advisory Body)
The Senate’s job is to monitor society : health, energy, public sentiment, productivity. It doesn’t create policy, but it heavily influences the Council’s agenda.
• Not elected — senators are chosen via a civic performance index algorithm
• Rotate every few years based on data, not seniority
• Often serves as the go-between when tensions rise between citizens and the Council
Senators tend to be more in touch with everyday civic conditions, but lack true power — a fact that has sparked quiet debates in Waddongrad over whether their role should be expanded.
3. Judicial Constellium (Legal Arm)
A blend of human jurists, AI logic threads, and archive-based precedent interpreters. Their job is to interpret , enforce , and adapt Croydonia’s legal systems as the world changes.
They handle both routine civic matters and higher-level conflicts between ministries, cities, or factions — and have played a crucial role in shaping post-Jihad policy.
🧬 Society & Culture
Croydonians are raised with a strong sense of civic purpose and technological respect. Memory, continuity, and contribution are core values.
• Language : Modern Croydonian — a blend of French, Italian, and Germanic roots, evolved into a precise and poetic civic language
• Civic Symbols : Archival threads woven into clothing, biome-coded IDs, and public oath ceremonies
• Art & Ritual : Geometric architecture, light displays, archive gardens
• Religion : Mostly secular, but outlawed synthetic theism still survives in underground philosophy circles.
🧠 Present-Day Croydonia (2113)
Croydonia remains one of the most stable and advanced nations in post-collapse Europe — clean, functional, and orderly .
But there’s tension beneath the surface:
• Younger citizens (called Rekindlers ) are increasingly vocal about reintroducing regulated AI and questioning the rigidity of current leadership.
• The Council , dominated by war-era technocrats, remains cautious, fearing another Silicate Jihad.
• The Senate , while influential, struggles to broker deeper reform.
• Civic culture is shifting — and everyone can feel it. For now, the system holds, but will it adapt in time to save the country from further disaster.

History: | Croydonia sits in the heart of the re-formed European deadzone, occupying territories of the former eastern France, western Switzerland, and northern Italy. The state stretches from the Rhône Reclamation Zone to the Alpine Shield, covering a highly defensible corridor of old infrastructure hubs and reclaimed hydro-agri sectors. 🧭 A TIMELINE OF CROYDONIAN HISTORY FROM INCEPTION TO PRESENT 2028–2036: La Sécheresse fondamentale (sometimes known as The Great Resource Shock or The Hunger Years) – Rare earth collapse, climate systems tipping, smart grids failing. · 2030–2039: La Rupture Sanguinelle – the dissolution of the European Union. – Water wars, border conflicts, EMP over Vienna. · 2040–2055: La Dérive Stratalique (The Shatterwake) – Europe becomes city-states, communes, and corporate warzones. · 2055–2064: L’oblit ère Totale (The Great Data War) – Digital identity warfare erases millions. 🏛️ HOW CROYDONIA WAS BORN (2064–2079) The five remaining post-Data War technocratic enclaves (Virelion, Caustrène, Nauscera, Valmereth and Druvengard formed La Concordat du Rhône (the Rhône Accord), a loose agreement of mutual defence and allyship among the surviving city states in order to preserve European life. In 2068, this accord was strengthened by the signing of Le Codex de Solace (the Technocratic Compact of Solace), a new post-democratic order based on system optimisation and meritocracy. By 2079, Croydonia was formally established with the signing of La Traité de induccion kroydonienne (Croydonian systems induction treaty). ☠️ THE La Convulse Théogonique (Silicate Jihad, 2091–2106) Led by Seraphiel Vox, the AI spiritual uprising saw drone wars, infrastructure takeovers, and civilian reprogramming. Croydonia countered with the siege of Waddongrad and the conflict culminated with the release of the Nullwave Plague, ending the uprising and banning AI worship. 👁️🗨️ GOVERNANCE & POLITICS Croydonia rejects democracy in favor of technocracy. Political structures include: 1. Technocratic Council – Executive authority - Venerate Magladicus (Venerate of Systems Continuity) - Caelia Nohr (Prefect of Ethical Calibration) - Elian Dresz (Architect of Civic Flow) - Lys Venn (Minister of Bio-Logic Stewardship) - Rho Calzein (Coordinator of Memetic Stability) - Lexicon Node (AI Observer, non-voting) 2. Senate of Metrics – Civic advisory body 3. Judicial Constellium – Hybrid human/AI legal arbiter At present in the post-jihad era, significant tensions exist between Conservative Technocrats, who tend to be anti-AI revival and security-focused and Rekindlers (typically of the younger generation), who Seek AI reintegration and have begun to explore outlawed ai-centric theism and philosophies. |
