Croydonia



🛰️ 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.
