Ancapium is a mutualist society that is the successor state to the toppled Anarcho-capitalist regime that existed in the city of Pushkino. It had 3 inhabitants and was historically at odds with Pushkino, though relations between the two after the signing of the Treaty of Pushkino improved considerably, they never maintained very positive relations.

History

Ancapium is a direct consequence of the Treaty of Pushkino and of the Pushkino Civil War. After the discovery of the first Ancap bunker in the mines of Pushkino, the Ancap war effort required a new base of operations to engage the war from, this location eventually became the staging ground for the town of Ancapium.

Structures

Ancapium is a relatively small settlement when compared with the neighboring city of Pushkino. It contains a town hall building, a basic resources storehouse, numerous animal pens and farms, shops, and the large Ronald W. Reagan Concrete Plant. Ancapium expanded very quickly and new buildings were planned and constructed often under the watchful eyes of the National Ancapium Company.

Unlike all other settlements Kjolt947 has lived in, Ancapium had never contained a Crut.

Farms and Factories

Despite its size, Ancapium contains plenty of buildings which are constantly producing goods, both automatically and manually.

Near the dock is an advanced farming column for basic crops such as wheat. Water is poured from a dispenser once all crops are grown, and then they must be manually replanted. Behind this, there are pens for both cows and sheep. It is important to note that the sheep are multicoloured to resemble the state flag.

The Ronald W. Reagan Concrete Plant is a large square building wedged between the upper and lower sections of Ancapium. A worker must place concrete powder into a chute and operate a lever to fill the space in the center with what concrete they have. If the player forgets to move back the lever, there is an emergency button below to unclog the mechanism. This building was named after the 40th president of the United States of America, Ronald W. Reagan.

On the top layer, a structure titled the Ancaptus serves as a cactus farm. There are 32 cactus blocks (16 on both layers) which will grow into a fence block, causing it to fall into the hopper below. Much like Kjolt947's other structures, the Ancaptus has a foundation of brick. The glass window walls are coloured as the Ancapium flag.

Tucked beside the town hall is Cran's Seaside Salmon Bistro. It is a small restaurant owned by Kjolt947 that serves cooked salmon for the price of $20 per piece. On its top level are 4 smokers and a campfire used to cook the fish. The salmon in the nearby water is plentiful, so food is almost always in stock. Additionally, a table with seats for diners sits just outside the building.

Behind most structures is the super smelter. There are 2 separate chests for fuel and smelting items, which will be looted by minecarts and distributed into the furnaces. Items are smelted very quickly, with the tradeoff of the fuel usually burning for a while after the smelting is finished, making coal supply drop quickly.

Culture

The national identity of Ancapium was solidifed via percieved sense that the state of Ancapium had 'eclipsed' its historical rival of Pushkino. Citizens of Ancapium thought this due to the lack of players frequently playing on the server from Pushkino in those days, and the newfound economic independence from Puskino in most consumer business sectors, such as the phasing out of Binny's Bean Burritos from the appetite of the everyday citizen, replaced by local produce and businesses. Soon after this, it became evident that Ancapium's new rival was found within ther inhabitants of Lil' Mike Heights

Language

Ancapium is a primarily English speaking community, the great shift to Russian and Chinese seen during the Authoritarian Period in Pushkino did not transfer over to Ancapium. French is seen in small amounts in private buildings but has not gained any widespread traction.

Conflict and Fall

The opening moves in the War for the End were fought between jusipat and Cflip_, resulting in an Ancapian victory and the destruction of the majority of Lil' Mike Heights infrastruture. This was the last military endevour undertaken by Ancapium. Ancapium supported the Ancap Revival in the old city of Pushkino. Funding the revolutionaries significantly and offering military support. This made no tangible effect on the outcome of the Pushkino Spring. After the outcome of the War for the End, members of Ancapium were left demoralized, player Kjolt947 drifted towards living elsewhere and all other members stopped playing. Ancapium is now left in a state of limbo as the National Ancapium Company attempts to sell off all Ancapium State assets. The administration of Ancapium has been dissolved.
