The Winfield Concord is an agreement between towns on collaboration and development. The name is derived from the town of Winfield, which was a newly founded town as a central location between the other former two capitals, Lednice and Australia. After prolonged inactivity of Winfield and Australia, the capital system was deprecated and Nacra which even back then was considered the center of the Winfield Concord, became the sole capital.


Concord Railway

RetroMC hosts many highways and railways. However unlike them, the Concord Railway is the biggest railway network on the entire server with a total length of roughly 28 thousand blocks of distance between the two furthermost Villages. Due to the proximity of cactus to the Z = 0 Railway, one can assure, that you can basically count in the total length of that railway as well. However that we consider to be it's own thing. The railway began as a passion project to connect Mitéria and Matatutu. The first two people to start this massive project were 16.png NolantheWise and 16.png DormantFocus35 in early spring of the year 2024. A few Days later 16.png kubiklive20 joined this project and started to invest his own time and effort on an extensive level. He grinded almost daily to fulfill his dream of the longest railway on the server. It can be said with utmost certainty, that the majority of the sky bridge and rail were in fact placed by 16.png kubiklive20. However progress started on the other end as well. The Owner of Mitéria 16.png tant33 rallied up almost 8 people, who were bored on the server at the time, to join his tunnel mining project. It should be noted that it was done before TNT explosions were allowed on the surface (above y = 50), so the whole mining process had to be done by hand. After 7 long hours, the other end of the tunnel finally reached sunlight. All that was done for the reason, that Mitéria cannot have any rail on the surface within the village boundaries whatsoever. The group managed to drill a 6x6 wide tunnel with a length of 2000 blocks under the village, where the Mitéria Mainland Grand Central Station was built.

Then a few weeks later, the railway started to reach Bulwark. The Owner 16.png KittyCaat agreed to build a station on our way as to make the ride more significant. More stops on the way means more purpose was served. Only later on did 16.png SvGaming234 decide to connect cactus to Matatutu via a sky bridge railway, different by altitude from the standard of y = 76. Also, because of the proximity to Lednice, 16.png Vyrvin decided to connect to the railway via a junction not far from Matatutu as well. After some time, three players 16.png kubiklive20, 16.png Pittofer and another guy with a slime skin in a suit connected the remaining skybridge from Mitéria to Beetopia. 16.png Pittofer was also rewarded with the honor of placing the last 2 connecting blocks to signify friendship and trust.

A staggering half a year later, the owner of RMCURA 16.png Q0AL unknowingly connected his village to the concord railway because he actually wanted to build towards Spawn Town and even prepared himself and his villagers to spent countless hours and resources on that task. But right after finding out, that by joining the concord railway project, they will be automatically connected to Spawn Town and multiple other villages, he sighed in relief and entrusted further planning on the project to the central committee chairmen of the Winfield Concord. The 5th march of 2025 marks the day RMCURA officially joined the concord railway project.

After an entire month on April 7th, the user 16.png Overallsteak748 contacted 16.png kubiklive20 as to ask for permission to connect to the main railway. His village LavasTown just so happened to be just around 800 Blocks away from the nearest railway. Thus, another member joined the project. It should also be mentioned, that besides the Concord Railway, other huge railway systems also exist and can be implemented. For example the 2 axis railways, that go on exactly the Z = 0 aka X = 0 coordinates, which make a perfect cross on the circular world map. Since the concord railway does not associate with both of these, they merely serve as connecting paths that can be used to connect two distant Winfield concord villages or regular concord railway members. On May 15th at exactly 8:41 PM UTC (UTC+0) in a discord call, the owner of the United Imperial Provinces 16.png Orknarok_666 accepted the invite by 16.png kubiklive20 to the concord railway project. This however does not mean that both the UIP and the Winfield concord merged, the later just encapsulates the concord railway as a sub-project. The main train station of the UIP already had a prefabricated sky bridge to Spawn and just had to have a little junction to the X = 0 axis railway built by 16.png Q0AL. 16.png kubiklive20 took the initiative and connected the UIP to the concord railway system during May 2025. Since the UIP train station connects other provinces nearby, it also has non-concord railways connecting villages such as Kekistan, AmishCity and others, which explains the weird connection on the line-map below.

After about a month, during late June and early July, the Central Committee member city Avalon was finally connected via intersection 2 (see Railway Network Map). Through the sheer amount of effort and time that the player 16.png Miner927 invested into connecting the Avalon metro, which he conveniently uses as a sort of S-Bahn, he was able to painstakingly lay out 10.7 thousand rails within several days. To commemorate this significant event, the two players 16.png Miner927 (Avalon Minister of Transportation) and 16.png kubiklive20 (Main Representative of the Winfield Concord Railway Network) built a grand station on intersection 2. This signifies the importance of this connection, since this rout was planned for a very long time and Avalon being an important member of the Winfield Concord only adds to that. During that period of time, one lucky village owner was fortunate enough to be located very close to the railway. Thus the Village of Snowdonia, owned by 16.png Snowenti, joined the Concord Railway Project on June 29th.

Aside from the usual railway placing, skybridge building and station design, a diffirent aspect was worrying the Winfield Central Committee. The problem at hand is griefing, namely the possibility of deliberate destruction of any aspect of the railway. In that regard the user 16.png kubiklive20, inspired by the obnoxiously long road claim of the village Mojang, decided to claim parts of the concord railway under the Mitérian flag. Same goes for Lednice, whose owner 16.png Vyrvin also decided to invest his own ressources into preserving the longest railway project on the entire server. Therefore, on the 12th of July 2025, Both Lednice and Mitéria now share a border somewhere in the middle of the railway. Both players also used their Assistant rights to also connect Lednice to cactus. Therefore, starting from mid July, there now exists one continuous claim with borders from cactus to Beetopia.
