History
Ponosian Republic
On 28 October 2023, the Unitaz Empire colonized territories of the Pushkov Empire (modern-day Sivland), and on 6 November, the Ponosian Republic was proclaimed, with the Ponosian troops taking the toilet, the bathhouse and the forest. On 19 November, during peace negotiations, the Unitazian ruler, Yatlot I., killed the deputy and destroyed the victory monument without signing the peace treaty, causing Ponosia to make an alliance against the Unitaz Empire. On 20 November, the Unitaz Empire capitulated and signed the peace treaty with Ponosia, ending the dispute and with Ponosia rebranding the alliance to the Union for the Defense of the Peoples of Micronations.
Principality of Sivland
On 24 November, Ponosia changed it's name to Sivland (formally Principality of Sivland). On 26 November, New Amsterdam tried to invade Sivland but lost it's independence afterwards. On 19 December at night, a car crashed into a road sign about 20-26 meters from Sivland. Elections were planned to be held on 2 January 2024, but were later cancelled.
Sivlandish Civil War
On January 7, Sivland was attacked by the Gorhta Empire, with the latter having stormed the administration building and shot president Ryzhler, also dismantling borders and annexing a 2-3 meter large colony, which was then washed away by rain. Sivland's ally Wolfyland has condemned the invasion. Due to this, the Gorhta Empire is also threatening Wolfyland with an invasion, however the Wolfish government doubts that such invasion would be successful. Between 10-12 January, the Kuban Democratic Republic took over the Gorhta Empire, also making a claim on most of Krasnodar Krai and Adygea. On 14 January, a house burned down near Sivland.
Restoration
On 18 January, after the civil war, Sivland once again got it's independence, this time from the KDR, under the new name Republican State of Sivland.
