Kaniw is a town in Ukraine by the Dnipro river, in-between the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv and town of Cherkassy. It is the most populated town in Ukraine (02.12.23) Also known as: Kaniev, Канев, Канiв, Kaniv

History

Foundation

The town of Kaniw was founded on the 11th of November, 2023, by the western bank of the Dnipro river. It was founded by doytschReal (formerly known as DeutschNotReal), whom had previously founded the town of Chernihiv, north-east of the town of Kyiv in June of 2022, which had peaked with 105 chunks and 39 residents.

The name Kaniw is the german spelling of what would traditionally be spelt "Kaniv", which was a name already taken by a town in the west of Ukraine.

Early architecture

In the early period of Kaniw, it was based on an existing building that had taken 6 chunks, right by the Dnipro river, where the current Kaniw Town Assembely stands. This was the main building of Kaniw for up til the first week of the town's existance. Enbankments for the Dnipro river have been created in the first 1-3 days, alongside projects to fix the rugged terrain that had existed in the area. Attempts were also made to restore the then called "Court of Dnieper" - the house where the town was founded - to a more usable state, as it had layed out of any town claims since atleast November 2022, which had lead it to accumilate damages from various lootings of the building by people passing by, expecially with the town's proximity with Kyiv.

Development of Kaniw shop

Not soon after Kaniw grew comfortably enough for bigger buildings, the first Kaniw shop opened up. Being just 2 chunks out from Kaniw's founding place, the shop was a measly diorite/calcite/quartz build with an oxidised copper roof. Although this proto-shop didn't bring significant revenues into Kaniw, it set a president for larger shops with more items to be setup all across the town.

Development of the Kaniw redstone computer

In late November, doytschReal bought 6 chunks to Kaniw, fully reserved for a construction of a 4-bit redstone computer. Without external investments, this project was fully funded by the town of Kaniw, which by this point was solely governed by doytsch. This project has gone through many iterations, with the 6 chunk area eventually being escuvated to prevent it being an eye-sour to the surface.

Nowdays (as of December 2)

Kaniw had grewn from being an insignificant settlement in between two larger towns (Kyiv & Cherkassy) to the largest city (by population) in Ukraine. Many projects such as the 3x2 chunk Kaniw assembely, 3x2 chunk Redstone computer and several apartment buildings are still in progress in the town, with the further growth of Kaniw not seeming to stop soon.

Borders

Kaniw is defined not only by the vast Dnipro river running through it, but also her extensive border with the neighbouring town of Cherkassy. In the 29th of November, the leaders of Kaniw and Cherkassy met together to draw a border, set on a road that had existed in the area for over a year, which Cherkassy and Kaniw then quickly moved to claim their side of the border.

Borders with Kyiv are not yet stated (and should not yet be a problem), but the town is prioritizing making settlement north of the Dnipro, which the plan for Мост Канiв seaks to provide.
