A simulation that turns classrooms into countries, students into citizens, and teachers into 21st century educators.
Simulated Country: Sesame Street
School: College Place Middle School
Instructor: Ms. Lisa Shearer
Location: Lynnwood, WA
President Lalia passed a new bill stating that all E/I hexes are owned by the government, all energy units have to be sold at the same price to everybody. Whether or not you agree with the bill itself, it’s a good thing that the country is making swift progress.
Simulated Country: Palmarum

Instructor: Mr. Jamie Nybo
Location: Calgary, AB
The PM has been working very hard to maintain all the trade offers and provide resources to all the citizens of Palmarum, but although they are backed up they refuse to provide government access to other MP’s of their own purple party.

After Lionel.H, Our Supreme Dictator, rightfully suppressed the foul minorities, they rebelled in a Communist Rebellion, lasting until Fall. A Official Opposition Minister Michelle.Y lead a crisis vote to overthrow the Majority Fascist Government and almost succeeded but to relief our Security Forces prevented their treason, but riots continue. This was prompted by the seizure of their property and most of their funds (Except $50 if you complied) not to mention when laws passes greatly impacted and successfully destroyed their livelihoods.
All Hail Lionel!

Simulated Country: Ferda
School: Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute
Instructor: Mr. Kevin Brooks
Location: Kitchener, ON
It’s a battle of popularity as two private residents battle it out for the right to own Ferda’s sole security hex. One, the leader of the opposition. The other, the national historian and sole owner of the police force on the island.
Both are powerful people as far as wealth concerns. It is rumored that the opposition leader will be suing the Historian for the rights to the property in the year 2002.
“He claims that the Judge and the Jury will be on his side due to his popularity with the rest of the island’s population,” the Historian claims as he stands outside the Police station with one of the K9 dogs used on the unit. “And to think this all started because I raised the price of the security unit for him. Like, common man. You have 7 hexes that I need to protect, where as many only have one or two.”
We could not reach the opposition leader for comment on this issue.
And while the two race for the chance card, the people of Ferda are at the edge of their seats as this battle of wealth and popularity begins a race around the bored.
More on this story as it develops.
Simulated Country: Wapicol
School: Westfield Middle School
Instructor: Mrs. Stephanie Walker
Location: Westfield, IN
There is enough food to go around, but not enough care. Farm hex owner, Kyle W., neglected to sell food to multiple citizens and continued to sell them to others. There are currently six deaths that will occur in the year 2001 and four of them will be because of lack of food. KyleW currently has six food units in stock, so this issue is clearly avoidable. Lauren R. plans to take him to court for his actions. This has been ZachVH of Wapicol National News.
Simulated Country: Boland
School: Abbey Park High School
Instructor: Ms. Lauretta Weir
Location: Oakville, ON
The Government of Boland has recently passed a monumental bill.
During the years 2000-2002 a total of 2 votes of non-confidence were made just because the first bill to be addressed on legislation day wasn’t well received. On top of that one unfinished bill was passed into legislation just because the government in power was afraid of non-confidence. Because of the ruckus caused by these non-confidence votes, the government rarely had time to pass any essential bills.
Recently, after a re-election caused by a vote of non-Confidence, the United Buddies of Boland with the full support of the opposition passed a bill stating that if a situation that previously required a re-election, or a few MP’s to cross the floor, (a.k.a. Non Confidence) occurs this will now lead to an actual vote of all MP’s on whether or not a re-election should occur. This is a momentous occasion as the government was actually able to pass one more helpful law directly after the aforementioned bill was passed.
Boland no longer has strings holding it back from its true potential.
Simulated Country: Gotsinos
School: Nelson High School
Instructor: Ms. Shannon Cote
Location: Burlington, ON
The government of Gotsinos has way to much power and recently passed a law saying “Communism isn’t that bag lets screw over everyone else just for fun”. Luckily our king decided not to sign the law, but the government still tried to make us follow it.
The national judge has been impeached from his position because people finally realized what we were telling them all along, THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY BIASED. Even when the “Supreme Chancellor” of Gotsinos was clearly best friends with the old “Supreme Chancellor”, and this was brought up during the election, people still voted for the party that they wanted impeached, because it had a different name.
Everyone in Gotsinos is screwed unless you are the Supreme Chancellor, so we should to China or North Korea where their dictators aren’t as bad as our Supreme Chancellor.
Dear Civic Mirror Users,
We are excited to announce that the forums are running normally again. You may have encountered an error saying that your post contains too few characters, despite writing a sufficient post. This error occurred when using BBCodes, the feature that allows you to enrich your posts with lists, bolds, italics, quotes, images, and more.
This happened because we upgraded from PHP6 to PHP7 to improve performance. The problem was that our current version of phpBB, the software that runs our forums, was not compatible with PHP7. We tried upgrading phpBB, but because of our heavy customisation to better integrate phpBB with Civic Mirror, we decided an upgrade was not the best option. We instead tweaked phpBB to make it compatible with PHP7.
We sincerely apologise for those that encountered this bug in the past, and hope that you will continue to write posts full of BBCodes in the future!

Is it your first day on Civic Mirror? Are you confused about what to do? Well, this is the article for you.
Tip 1) BUY A HEX. I, unfortunately, made the mistake of not buying a hex and this made my journey in civic mirror extremely difficult.
Tip 2) PARTICIPATE. It is very important to participate in all town hall discussions and the National Court because even if you do not do well in Civic Mirror, you can increase your grade by participating.
Tip 3) HAVE FUN Even though understanding Civic Mirror may seem overwhelming, it is important to enjoy and have fun with your friends.
