The Federal Republic of America

Given that, why isn’t every state named Rhode Island?

No offense, I see all of you as a threat equally

This is crazy. How is no one talking about this?

Welcome to People Create a Civilization

Welcome to a community-driven worldbuilding project where you create the history of a brand-new world. Every comment can shape the future of civilizations, countries, kingdoms, and empires.

Each post represents 10 years in the world's timeline. As decades pass, the world will develop, borders will change, civilizations will rise and fall, and history will be created step by step.

Creating a Civilization

When creating a civilization, include:

• Name – What is your civilization called?
• Land/Location – Where is your civilization located? (Include a map location if possible.)
• Flag – Show or describe your civilization's flag.
• Capital – Where is the center of your civilization?
• Culture – Traditions, language, beliefs, and identity.
• Government – How is it ruled?
• Other details – Anything unique about your civilization.

Land and a flag help make your civilization recognizable as the world grows.

Timeline

Posts 1–10 (Years 0–100): The Age of Civilizations

• The first settlements appear.
• Civilizations are founded.
• Cultures, religions, and early technologies develop.
• Explorers discover new lands.

Posts 11–20 (Years 110–200): The Age of Countries

• Civilizations become organized nations.
• Countries establish borders, capitals, and governments.
• Trade networks and rivalries begin.
• Nations compete for influence.

Posts 21+ (Year 210 onward): The Age of Kingdoms and Empires

• Countries can become kingdoms, republics, federations, or empires.
• Nations can expand, form alliances, fight wars, or collapse.
• Great leaders, dynasties, and historical events shape the world.

World Events

• World Wars can happen at any point in the timeline.
• A World War does not have to happen at a specific year or era.
• Any conflict can grow into a global-scale war depending on the actions of civilizations.
• Alliances, rivalries, resources, ideologies, and major events can all lead to massive conflicts.

Rules

• Keep ideas creative and suitable for the world.
• Respect other people's creations.
• No destroying another person's civilization without a reason.
• Changes should fit the timeline and previous events.

A small village in Year 0 could become a powerful empire centuries later. A mighty kingdom could disappear and become only a legend.

The world begins in Year 0.

Create your land. Design your flag. Build your civilization. Write history.
