== History ==
=== Beginnings as a library ===
ACIMA was founded in 1802 as the Adestone Local Library, and made it their goal to preserve and protect literature worldwide. Their efforts to preserve information from the 1800s was a subject largely up for debate, becoming a major question in 1817 after a man armed with a pitchfork and burning wooden stick attempted to smash the doors down and burn the contents of the building. In this attack, 3 documents were affected, albeit being only minor damages.

== Criticism and controversy ==
=== ACIMA and world governments ===
ACIMA often faces criticism and backlash from world governments due to their aim to preserve information and make it available to the world. In 1990, ACIMA was taken to the State Court of Commolacia, where they were charged with reporting the news on the 1990 Marco Square Protests to the world. The Fortlese government has marked them a spy organization, as several ACIMA agents are based in Fortland. These agents report on happenings in Fortland, most notably in 2021 as the Fortlese riots began to escalate.
