The Republic of Lucite would come to an end in-name-only following the merger of the UAE and Lucite into the Lucite Empire, which was comprised of two factions, the Confederacy (western portions of Lucite, under the rule of KingJohn and the Imperial Family of Hanson), and the Union (eastern portions of Lucite, under the rule of Prime Minister Jmvvana). Tensions of governance arose between these two factions over a period of several months, leading to KingJohn's Rose Act, a formal secession proclamation. The signing of the document has been marked as the beginning of the Lucitian Civil War. | The Republic of Lucite would come to an end in-name-only following the merger of the UAE and Lucite into the Lucite Empire, which was comprised of two factions, the Confederacy (western portions of Lucite, under the rule of KingJohn and the Imperial Family of Hanson), and the Union (eastern portions of Lucite, under the rule of Prime Minister Jmvvana).

At the beginning of the Civil War, the Unionists held the advantage, with a majority of cities choosing to remain on the side of Budapest. In the Confederate portion of the Empire, with a government based in New Hanson, there existed merely a fleeting position of power. | At the beginning of the Civil War, the Unionists held the advantage, with a majority of cities choosing to remain on the side of Budapest.

Following the Civil War, the PCB Administration, after discussion on a forums post evaluating the rules of nations and wars, decided to outright ban wars entirely. Hence, this was the last major conflict that involved destruction of buildings and military equipment between nations. This was not, however, the end of cold wars and high tensions between differing states, which filled the void of major conflict. | Following the Civil War, the PCB Administration, after discussion on a forums post evaluating the rules of nations and wars, decided to outright ban wars entirely.

Once again, the world was unbalanced in a unipolar system favoring Lucite. | ||
Among the Governmental Building improvements was the creation of the Reichstag building in Budapest, a building which has become featured in the Monarch map. | Among the Governmental Building improvements was the creation of the Reichstag building in Budapest, a building which has become featured in the Monarch map. | ||

In a new era of Cold Wars, Lucite began to see neighboring states, such as Apex, a nation with cities on the Alga Sea, as potential threats to their hegemony. Following the proclamation of the Republic of Bayonne and thus freedom of Freehold from Apex, Lucite declared itself the victors and established the Alga Sea Treaty Organization (ASTO) to prevent future conflict. Tensions remained high among most nations in a system of forced rivalry, but none could go to war. Thus defense treaties and land claiming seemed the most effective way of setting borders and demarcation zones. More cold wars would follow the Apexo-Lucitian conflict, such as the cold war with [[Lunden]] on the [[Belport Sea]] where a massive military presence was established in [[New Concordia]] by the Emperor and the Imperial Admiral, Ryicidal. The final cold war was the three-way cold war with [[Volare]] and [[Neo-Canada]], notably ending on 4/20. The Demilitarized Zone between the walls constructed outside of [[Konin]], [[Portland]] and Volare was quickly overgrown with fields of marijuana, and tanks were left immobilized among the fields. | In a new era of Cold Wars, Lucite began to see neighboring states, such as Apex, a nation with cities on the Alga Sea, as potential threats to their hegemony.

At the end of the 1.8 Creative Map, Lucite remained the largest nation by size, member county, city count, presence, and military structure. Despite its controversial standing, the actions of Lucite inspired the operations of nations in the future, as well as led to the administration to create rules to address and limit conflict between nations, leading to a statement on a forum post by Lucite's long-lasting leader, Jmvvana (Joe), that ''"...nations don't have power over anyone, they are to be like a sticker or a fancy hat you can wear."'' | At the end of the 1.8 Creative Map, Lucite remained the largest nation by size, member county, city count, presence, and military structure.
