Commonwealth of Marathon is a Mayor Diary at SimCity 4 Devotion by thundercrack83, and consists of random pictures and updates looking at step-by-step processes within the game, as well as graphics and other auxiliary content such as maps, newspapers, and videos to give further insight into both the region of Marathon and its author. It is currently in the Classics section.
Marathon opened on November 5, 2008, on the second anniversary of SC4Devotion, after friendly cajoling and teasing of Dustin (thundercrack83) by Robin (rooker1), since Dustin was known at the time primarily as the local moderator of the MD section as SC4D, but had yet to open an MD of his own.
