Etymology

The name of Waverly is derived from Edinburgh's Waverley Train Station. The station from Edinburgh is named after a series of novels, known as the Waverley Novels from the 19th century, written by Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott. The novels were some of the most popular books in Europe for over a century, though only the first book in the series actually makes mention of Waverley, being the surname of the protagonist in the book.

History

Planning (2013-2014)

Ground Breaking (2014-2015)

Pre Senator (2015-2017)

Founded on the day the new world opened, The Mayor set to work quickly to establish the beginnings of a town. The very first thing built was a large square surrounding the MRT station, which would serve as the focal point for the entire city.

cal76 who was Mayor of Riverend in the old world laid the groundwork and is still the Mayor today. Parts of Riverend serve as an inspiration for Waverly.

The town hall was a massive project in itself, taking at least a month to finish. A refurbish of the town hall is planned.

Music3_0 was the first Deputy Mayor of Riverend, up until he was banned. For a while after he was banned, the Deputy Mayor spot was vacant until MinecraftYoshi26 became Deputy in November 2016.

Government

The mayor of Waverly has absolute rule over the town, no questions asked. The Deputy is powerless whilst the mayor is still around.

The Parliament of Waverly is only used for aesthetics. It has 193 seats, including a Speaker and a Prime Minister. It is currently empty as no elections has happened yet, though one is planned eventually. Each citizen of Waverly will get votes in the election, with homeowners getting 1 vote, business owners 3 and corporate owners 9 votes. The votes all add up so for example, someone could own an apartment and a shop in the town, so with a home and a business combined, they will get 4 votes in the election. The votes are then placed into a Jefferson style proportional voting system, which will divided up how many seats each political party gets. The Prime Minister is the leader of the largest political party, though if the Mayor or Deputy Mayor is the leader, then the leader of the 2nd largest party will become the Prime Minister. The Speaker is directly elected among the MPs, though can be appointed by the Mayor at his or her direction.
