History
- See also: The history of Lost Commonwealth
Lost originated as a settlement in 1812 by Lostites, a previously nomadic ethnicity descended from Fraggle Rock human colonists and Enpeecees. The settlement was only formally established in 1900 following the formation of its first council, from which the 'Lostite' demographic name first gained definition.
The settlement was transformed into a city-state by Mech in August 11th, 2014 through the ratification of the Lost Charter. The charter effectively puts the term 'Lost' (as a city-state) and 'Lostite' (as a demographic) to official and common use, as well as establishing sovereignty, law, and freedom for Lostites. The implementation of the Lost Charter spearheaded economic and infrastructural growth in Lost during 2014-2015, which subsequently made Lost a significant economic and cultural power.
Lost later experienced difficulties in constructing the palatial complex due to flawed architectural plans. This was followed by the failure to repay construction loans, which triggered a further chain of events leading to the Great Recession of 2016. As mayor, Mech received widespread criticism and decreased popularity, leading to his loss in the 2016 elections and his departure from Lost.
Arthur Daniels, supported by elite populists, replaced Mech as mayor. His administration was viewed negatively in historic records and was marked by escalated corruption, the expansionism of neighboring Clementine, and the rise of the Founder Movement opposed to the Daniels administration. The movement was led by Nich Carsi, former deputy mayor under the Mech administration, and advocated for a communal capitalist approach, less regulation towards building codes, and a greater social opportunity for Lost citizens. The Daniels administration suppressed the movement, which, combined with city overpopulation, led to the exodus of many Lostites from Lost. The suppression culminated in the arrest and execution of Nich Carsi, which led to Mech's return to Lost and his second win in the 2018 elections.
