From the Editor:
Hello, this is a newsletter relayed every Monday morning covering current events around the Civ comunity as well as the featured article of the week on CivWiki. For the most part, this is maintained by specificlanguage.
Think of this as a successor to CivThinkTank monday mornings, which itself is a successor of Square & Xavter’s monday mornings, which itself is a successor of Akiyama64’s monday mornings. I’ll post this every Monday morning on r/CivWiki and to most subreddits/discords this applies to.
You’ll see all this information again on the CivWiki’s front page.
If you want to see your own current events and featured articles in these newsletters, please submit this form right here!!! (We also encourage news that just shows up on discord!)
Right, onto the news.

The World Police (abbreviated WP) has been a label used to describe various people, groups, and organizations throughout almost all of Civ history. The uniting characteristic of those who’ve earned the moniker “World Police”, whether organized or unorganized is the heavy involvement in international combat operations. This usually involves bounty hunting raiders but also more notably taking part in wars against PVP-oriented groups, such as the HCF. The origins of the World Police date back to the formal organisation that beared the name on Civcraft 1.0, evolving into a more informal network of fighters on Civcraft 2.0 before becoming the formal patchwork of alliances of nations on CivClassic 2.0 that most are familiar with. Across all servers, opinions on the WP are mixed as many not only associate them with crime fighting but also alt-raiding, sovereignty-breaching, and permapearling. (Full article…)
