'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United.

Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<ref>The Essexian Post.

<br />
===2023 EPL Season===<br />
[[File:DUFC Champions Crest 2023.png|thumb|Special-edition 'Champions' club crest, used for the 2023 season.]]<br />
The club adopted a new home kit for the 2023 season, but allowed continuing players to use the previous year's home kits with a new sleeve patch applied. The team also adopted a special-edition 'Champions' club crest.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
The club shares a local rivalry with [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] due to their close geographical proximity. They also hold a historic rivalry with [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], who were formed around the same time immediately after United.<br />
<br />
During the 2022 season, the United players sung several chants of contempt at both Village and the Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
The fourth kit, the 2023 kit, occurred following the implementation of sleeve patches for the EPL teams. The home kit features an Umbro Vier claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied special 'Champions' edition club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. In addition, a 'EPL Champions 2022' sleeve patch is applied to the right sleeve. The away kit was kept the same (and still not utilised), whilst the 2022 home shirt with the 'EPL Champions 2022' sleeve patch on the right was designated as the third kit. This was to ensure players who didn't purchase the new home shirt could still play in a DUFC kit.<br />
<br />
'''United remain the only team to have utilised a kit in the EPL.'''<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United. [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc/news/danbury-united-fc-setsup-nonprofit-merchandise-shop-2668558.html "DANBURY UNITED F.C. SETS-UP NON-PROFIT MERCHANDISE SHOP"]. Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

<br />
===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<ref>The Essexian Post. [http://79.124.7.49/2022-essexiair-premier-league-results-danbury-united-crowned-champions/ "2022 EssexiAir Premier League results – Danbury United crowned Champions"]. Archived from [http://79.124.7.49/ the original] on 13 August 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
The club shares a local rivalry with [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] due to their close geographical proximity. They also hold a historic rivalry with [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], who were formed around the same time immediately after United.<br />
<br />
During the 2022 season, the United players sung several chants of contempt at both Village and the Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
'''United remain the only team to have utilised a kit in the EPL.'''<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

<br />
==Culture==<br />
The club shares a local rivalry with [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] due to their close geographical proximity. They also hold a historic rivalry with [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], who were formed around the same time immediately after United.<br />
<br />
During the 2022 season, the United players sung several chants of contempt at both Village and the Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
'''United remain the only team to have utilised a kit in the EPL.'''<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

==Sponsors==<br />

The '''EssexiAir Premier League''' (sometimes referred to simply as the '''Premier League''', or the '''Essexian Premier League''') is the only football league in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It is sponsored by Essexia's national airline [[Essexiair|EssexiAir]], resulting in the competition's namesake. Local Essexian football teams compete for the title of EssexiAir Premier League Champion.<br />
<br />
Danbury United F.C. are the current EPL Champions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The EssexiAir Premier League was formed on the 17th February 2021 by [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]], who also created [[Danbury United F.C.]] as Essexia's first non-international football team to compete in the league. The league's inaugural games are set to take place later in 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions have been eased. [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]] was added on the 18th February, created by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia|Emperor Terry]]. [[F.C. United of Michael]] was founded and added to the league on the 25th February 2021, as the third league team. It was founded by [[Newton von Uberquie]]. Former First Minister Finn R formed [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] on the 2nd July 2021 in order to bolster the number of teams in the league, and add a competitive nature within Greater Danbury for which team citizens should support.<br />
<br />
===2022 League===<br />
Danbury United, Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village competed at the Old Cormorant Ground in Danbury. <br />
<br />
F.C. United of Michael were asked to not compete, in order to ensure there were enough players for all competing teams. Defender Matthew was moved on loan to Danbury Village AFC, whilst Fabio and Newton were unable to play. In addition, Ben S of Danbury United was loaned to Great Baddow Rovers to make up for their lack of players.<br />
<br />
Each team played each other once, making for three games in total. Danbury United won against both Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village, with Great Baddow Rovers losing both games and Danbury Village winning one. Danbury United were crowned League Cup Champions, and following this all present players organised into two teams to compete for the EPL Cup, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out with Team 2 winning.<ref>The Essexian Post.

<br />
===2023 League===<br />
Following the success of the first league competition, it was assumed a second successive season would be held in 2023. In mid June 2023, participants agreed to a provisional date of the 8th July 2023, for the 2023 EPL season. However, DVAFC manager Finn made clear that he likely would not be present to participate due to other committments.<br />
<br />
In June 2023, the league introduced official sleeve patches for teams to wear on their kits. This included a blue and white patch for all teams, except the previous year's champions who had their own gold and white 'EPL Champions XXXX' badge.<br />
<br />
==Rivalries==<br />
There is a local rivalry between Danbury Village A.F.C. and Danbury United F.C. due to their close geographical proximity.<br />
<br />
A historic rivalry exists between Danbury United F.C. and Great Baddow Rovers F.C., who were both formed in February 2021 and saw each other as their primary competition. This can be seen in the chants that supporters of both teams sung towards each other during matches in contempt and to demoralise the other side's players.<br />
<br />
==Competition Format==<br />
In the 2022 league, 3 games were played to decide the winners of the league cup. Although originally 6 games were supposed to be played, the heat and subsequent exhaustion forced the managers to reduce this. In order to give players more playing time though, a longer Cup was played where two teams were formed of all the present players.<br />

==Sponsorship==<br />
The league is sponsored by [[Essexiair]], Essexia's national airline and one of the nation's most well known independent entities.<br />
<br />
Individual teams are allowed to be sponsored by private companies; [[CAe Systems]] and [[Paddocks Boat Co]] both sponser Danbury United, whilst [[Bearing420]] sponsors the Baddow Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Media Coverage==<br />
Media rights to broadcast the league games were granted exclusively to [[Dean Network]], who had planned to broadcast live coverage at the first games, possibly with commentary. Dean Network is also responsible for creating publicity for the league and releasing official news. Due to the short notice nature of the 2022 league, broadcasts were unable to be setup.<br />

The '''EssexiAir Premier League''' (sometimes referred to simply as the '''Premier League''', or the '''Essexian Premier League''') is the only football league in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It is sponsored by Essexia's national airline [[Essexiair|EssexiAir]], resulting in the competition's namesake. Local Essexian football teams compete for the title of EssexiAir Premier League Champion.<br />
<br />
Danbury United F.C. are the current EPL Champions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The EssexiAir Premier League was formed on the 17th February 2021 by [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]], who also created [[Danbury United F.C.]] as Essexia's first non-international football team to compete in the league. The league's inaugural games are set to take place later in 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions have been eased. [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]] was added on the 18th February, created by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia|Emperor Terry]]. [[F.C. United of Michael]] was founded and added to the league on the 25th February 2021, as the third league team. It was founded by [[Newton von Uberquie]]. Former First Minister Finn R formed [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] on the 2nd July 2021 in order to bolster the number of teams in the league, and add a competitive nature within Greater Danbury for which team citizens should support.<br />
<br />
===2022 League===<br />
Danbury United, Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village competed at the Old Cormorant Ground in Danbury. <br />
<br />
F.C. United of Michael were asked to not compete, in order to ensure there were enough players for all competing teams. Defender Matthew was moved on loan to Danbury Village AFC, whilst Fabio and Newton were unable to play. In addition, Ben S of Danbury United was loaned to Great Baddow Rovers to make up for their lack of players.<br />
<br />
Each team played each other once, making for three games in total. Danbury United won against both Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village, with Great Baddow Rovers losing both games and Danbury Village winning one. Danbury United were crowned League Cup Champions, and following this all present players organised into two teams to compete for the EPL Cup, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out with Team 2 winning.<ref>The Essexian Post.

=== 2023 League ===<br />
Following the success of the first league competition, it was assumed a second successive season would be held in 2023. In mid June 2023, participants agreed to a provisional date of the 8th July 2023, for the 2023 EPL season. However, DVAFC manager Finn made clear that he likely would not be present to participate due to other committments.<br />
<br />
==Rivalries==<br />
There is a local rivalry between Danbury Village A.F.C. and Danbury United F.C. due to their close geographical proximity.<br />
<br />
A historic rivalry exists between Danbury United F.C. and Great Baddow Rovers F.C., who were both formed in February 2021 and saw each other as their primary competition. This can be seen in the chants that supporters of both teams sung towards each other during matches in contempt and to demoralise the other side's players.<br />
<br />
==Competition Format==<br />
In the 2022 league, 3 games were played to decide the winners of the league cup. Although originally 6 games were supposed to be played, the heat and subsequent exhaustion forced the managers to reduce this. In order to give players more playing time though, a longer Cup was played where two teams were formed of all the present players.<br />

==Sponsorship==<br />
The league is sponsored by [[Essexiair]], Essexia's national airline and one of the nation's most well known independent entities.<br />
<br />
Individual teams are allowed to be sponsored by private companies; [[CAe Systems]] and [[Paddocks Boat Co]] both sponser Danbury United, whilst [[Bearing420]] sponsors the Baddow Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Media Coverage==<br />
Media rights to broadcast the league games were granted exclusively to [[Dean Network]], who had planned to broadcast live coverage at the first games, possibly with commentary. Dean Network is also responsible for creating publicity for the league and releasing official news. Due to the short notice nature of the 2022 league, broadcasts were unable to be setup.<br />

The '''Republic of Poplar Nerva''' was a very small [[micronation]] off the coast of Northern California. It was founded on the 30 May 2019 by [[Jack Dean]] as a micronation independent of the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was admitted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member on the 11 January 2020, and expelled on the 13th October 2022. It was dissolved on the 25th October 2022; 3 years, 4 months and 25 days after its founding.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name 'Poplar' was derived from a plot of land in [[Greater Danbury]], [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] called as such, which Premier Jack had a long history of visiting, in addition to the tree. The name 'Nerva' was applied by the previous claimant of the area.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
Nerva became independent from the Commonwealth of Essexia on 25 May 2019 after Parliament authorised the decolonisation of Essexia's Dominions. Premier Jack quickly and quietly claimed what had been Poplar Nerva, and founded the Republic on the 30th.<br />
<br />
By August 13, Premier Jack was able to reach Everest Base Camp, a success widely acclaimed in Essexia, and commemorated by [[Summit Day]] in Nerva.<br />
<br />
On 19 October General Election, the first of its kind, Premier Jack won in a landslide. With 100% of the vote, he remained Premier.<br />
<br />
===1st Development Phase===<br />
Late November 2019 is referred to as the First Development Period, in which the micronation rapidly expanded in size, both in terms of population and in terms of recognised land (This was when the first post-independence map was created). In particular, the 27th November 2019 saw the establishment of the Territory Recognition Act 2019 (See geography for more). Premier Jack announced to the population on 27 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT that the micronation had ratified the Charter of the Grand Unified Micronational.<br />
<br />
18 December 2019 saw the Constitution Act passed by the Government, which called for the creation of a Constitution within 6 months, in order to solidify the Government and its structure.<br />
<br />
Gay and Straight marriages were officially legalised on 2 January 2020, as the Republican government sought to make the nation more diverse and accepting. Premier Jack released a statement on 3 January 2020 recognising that the US strike on Iranian figure Qasem Soleimani was uncalled for, but that it may have been necessary to prevent further suffering. His statement provided precedent for Poplar Nerva to follow a utilitarian form of ethics when it comes to both domestic and international affairs. The House of Constituencies voted to outlaw the sale of Raw Water in Nerva on 5 January 2020, due to health risks it imposes. It was also noted by some members of the House that the Government should consider similar bans on tobacco, nicotine, cigarettes and vaping, but no official bill was put forward towards this. Premier Jack released a brief statement on 10 January 2020, promoting the full decolonisation of Essexia, however this remained unrecognised by the latter. Poplar Nerva attended their first GUM quorum on 25 January 2020.<br />
<br />
===COVID-19 Phase===<br />
In March 2020, Poplar's borders were closed to prevent the spread of [[COVID-19]]. On the 21st, further measures were put in place, such as the issuing of virtual information pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Following evidence of indecent activity between Daniel Morris of New Westphalia and a number of young, and sometimes underage, children, and specifically the reactions of the Old Guard and some delegates (Bradley of Wyvern and Christina of Cycoldia), the Government held an emergency online meeting, and voted unanimously to leave the organisation. Being present at the 2019 GUM Summit in Birmingham with Daniel Morris, but not being made aware of his past by the old guard also present, Premier Jack stated in a press relief that he was, "Completely disgusted by...Bradley and Christina", and voiced concerns regarding Jonathan of Austenasia's lack of any apology for potentially hiding the dark truth of Daniel Morris. Poplar rejoined a few days later, as they had not been formally removed.<br />
<br />
Following re established contact on the 8th April between Poplar Nerva, [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] and [[Directive of Misberia|Misberia]], a new map of the area was drawn up in the Two Nervas Solution. Poplar ceded the southern areas to Somcow, as Nervas original claim over the area was found to be in violation with previous negotiations. As a result, although the republic's size was greatly reduced, it's foreign relations and legitimacy were given a much-needed boost.<br />
<br />
After the 10th May 2020 General Election, in which the Poplar Republican Party lost by 1 seat to the Poplar Conservative Party, Premier Jack lost his position to Party leader of the Conservatives [[Premier Benedict of Nerva]]. Jack subsequently left the Grand Unified Micronational, and ensured Benedict was permitted to enter.<br />
<br />
Poplar was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational following the Second Essexian Civil War, after the nation supported the Federation over the Commonwealth of Essexia. However, the organisation found that the means by which this was achieved were unconstitutional, and so Poplar's membership was reinstated. In addition, due to the handling of the entire ordeal, Premier Benedict was voted out of office by the HoC, which was reinstated following the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
The House of Constituents called a snap election on the 14th December 2020 due at some point in December. It was controversial as it arrived during Premier Jack's campaign for GUM chair. The Supreme Court found, however, that the method by which this election was called was illegal. Subsequently, there has been no general election.<br />
<br />
===2nd Development Phase===<br />
A new, more representative Coat of Arms was adopted by national referendum on the 20th March 2021. It also established the palm tree as a national symbol of Poplar Nerva. In addition, it was on the 20th March that a Cabinet was formally created. It consists of the Premier of Poplar Nerva, as well as the Secretaries of the Departments of State. Plans were made to alter the format of future Bills. The New Land Area Act 2021 reinstated claims to the islands to the South and South-East of Poplar, after the dissolution of Misberia led to the de facto end of the Flavian Nerva claims.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archiveurl = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Legislation |author = Representative Hall, Rep. Jack Esq.}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Dissolution===<br />
For around a year prior to its dissolution, Poplar Nerva was extremely inactive in all domestic affairs. The majority of its focuses were on international relations, specifically within the Grand Unified Micronational. However, the micronation began to decline in this area as well - in a quorum on the 2nd October 2022, the Chair announced that Poplar Nerva would be eligible for expulsion due to missing at least six consecutive quorum sessions. On the 12th October, Maurice G (the primary delegate for Poplar Nerva) announced to the organisation that he would not seek to prevent the expulsion vote due to inactivity. As such, Poplar Nerva was expelled on the 13th October 2022 with 18 votes for the motion and 4 abstentions. This ended the 2 years, 9 months and 2 days of Poplar Nerva's GUM membership.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack announced to the HoC on the 24th October 2022 that he intended to dissolve the nation due to inactivity, which was met with statements of understanding from the remaining two active Representatives. The nation was formally dissolved at 16:35 BST on the 25th October 2022.<br />
<br />
The most prominent figures of Poplar Nerva's history were Premier Jack (a.k.a Jack D of Essexian notoriety), former Premier Benedict (a.k.a Ben S, also a semi-prominant Essexia), Rep. Maurice G (a.k.a Matthew G, an Essexian and general micronationalist) and Rep. Frank (a.k.a Francis, a militarist Essexian and was briefly involved with other Czech micronations). It is now freely admitted by all of these individuals that Poplar Nerva was initially created by Jack who saw an opportunity following the decolonisation of Essexia. He brought other Essexians into the project after some months, and established Poplar Nerva as effectively a puppet state of Essexia, but which had other aims of internal and international development separate from Essexia's.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The Republic of Nerva was a Presidential Republic, lead by a Premier (Equivalent of a President), who was elected in National Elections. There were three branches of the Nervan government:<br />
<br />
The Legislative was made up of a unicameral house that created laws and voted them into being, called the Hall of Constituencies (HoC). There was one Representative for each Constituency, who was voted for by the constituents of that area.<br />
<br />
The Executive branch was led by the Premier, beneath which was the Deputy Premier (Often abbreviated to the Deputy). This branch carried out the laws that the HoC has passed. <br />
<br />
The Judicial branch interpreted these laws through the Supreme Court, beneath which was the Court of Appeals, beneath which was the Constituency Courts. Judges were elected by the Constituents for the Constituency Courts, by the Constituency Courts for the Court of Appeals, and chosen by the HoC for the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, and the Poplar legal system, were agreed to be made by the [[Poplar MLC]] on the 24th January 2020, alongside their work on the Essexian legal system.<br />

===History===<br />
In an unprecedented move, the HoC volunteered by majority vote to suspend their legislative sittings to prevent the "unnecessary risk" of spreading COVID-19, on the 21st March 2020. Furthermore, before suspending the HoC, Representatives voted to enact a State of Emergency bill, placing the nation on a higher state of caution. It was reinstated on the 31st May 2020 by Premier benedict.<br />
<br />
Under the infamous '''Consolidation Act''' of the 8th November 2020, the [[Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party]] and [[Poplar Populist Party]] were merged into the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and [[Poplar Republican Party]] respectively. This was in order to stabilise the nation following months of COVID-related lockdown and restrictions, and to spur the government into action.<br />
<br />
From the 19th March 2021, it was decided that a number of great reforms would take place. Firstly, the Hall of Constituencies would be renamed to Representative Hall (RH). On the 20th, the cabinet and government departments were formalised. The number of seats in RH were officially expanded from 5 to 11 on the 25th March 2021 - although legislated by a unanimous vote, this was to be added to an upcoming constitutional rewrite.<br />

==Foreign Relations==<br />
Poplar Nerva was a member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] for most of its existence, and regularly engaged and treaties, projects and opportunities between micronations.<br />

<br />
Premier Jack signed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation with Otto Gillespie Birch of the [[Directive of Misberia]] on the 11th April 2020, ensuring both nations would enter into relations and do so respectfully. However, this ended on the 2nd June 2020, when Misberia ended recognition of Poplar Nerva following the events of the Second Essexian Civil War. Misberia was dissolved in 2021, and as such Poplar Nerva stopped recognition of Flavian Nerva.<br />
<br />
After the disappearance of [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] from the micronational community, the Republican government sought to alter Nerva's claim during November 2020. At the same time, Otto Gillespie Birch of Misberia sought to gain territory in the Nerva region as well. As such, negotiations were held on the 14th November 2020 to discuss the matter, and a new map was produced on the 15th by Premier Jack. Nerva regained it's previous capital, Ford Island, whilst Misberia gained the most southern and eastern islands under Flavian Nerva. Poplar Nerva also stopped recognising Somcow after these negotiations.<br />
<br />
Following an announcement by the Essexian [[CAe Systems]] regarding their progress on the JAFA Program,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://essexian.com/cae-systems-completes-phase-1-of-jafa-program/ | archiveurl = https://essexian.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = CAe Systems completes Phase 1 of JAFA Program |author = The Essexian}}</ref> the [[Secretary of the Defence Department (Poplar Nerva)|Defence Department Secretary]] [[Frank of Nerva|Rep. Frank]] announced Nerva's interest in procuring a single combat aircraft for display/air show purposes. However, Essexia is yet to respond to this request.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/poplar-nerva-interested-in-procuring-essexian-combat-aircraft/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = Poplar Nerva interested in procuring Essexian combat aircraft |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the 30/04/2021, and after some days of talks, Poplar Nerva signed a treaty of Mutual Recognition with the State of Vishwamitra. This is after both states having unilaterally recognised each other as part of the recognition of all GUM member states.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The Government's stance had always been that they saw no situation where they would need any effective military, seeing as the micronation was an Island. Either it would be left to it's devices, or should another Nation or organisation seek to take it, any fight that Nerva would put up would be effectively useless and only prolong an unnecessary conflict. Therefore, only the Ceremonial Republican Navy existed. The CRN allowed Nerva to reap the rewards of an icon of strength and unity without having to invest in a useful show of force.<br />
<br />
It was limited to only practical vessels, and therefore only operated the CRNS Pacific, a 2-person sailing vessel capable of traversing coastal waters. It was introduced to the Poplar Navy prior to the creation of the CRN as a Dominion defence asset. However, it never sailed for the nation.<br />
<br />
CRN ships were stored and maintained by [[Paddocks Boat Co]], an Essexian ship-specialist company.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Nerva's prime culture outlet was ''<nowiki/>'The Nervan Guardian''' magazine, run as a cooperative venture by the [[Dean Network]]. It covered topics from both Nerva and the wider micronational community, roughly once a month. A website for the Nervan Guardian was finalised on the 19th March 2021.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/nervan-guardian-finally-reaches-out-online/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/ | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Headlines |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a result of the Language Act 2020, Poplar Nerva rescinded recognition of any language other than English (United Kingdom) as an official language of the republic.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Poplar Nerva was located off the coast of North-Eastern California. It featured 11 constituencies which all administrated a number of islands.<br />
<br />
===Claims===<br />
Ford Island, originally Mecca Island when Nerva was an [[Dominions of Essexia|Essexian Dominion]], was named after Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford for her contribution to Essexia and, therefore, Nerva. It was the capital Island, and featured grassland on the East side, and sand and rocks on the West side. Rocks shielded the Island from oncoming waves. It briefly belonged to Somcow for most of 2020, but returned to Nerva after the 15th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The Northern Territory was comprised of Poplar Island, Edward Rock, William Rock, the Nord Islands and the Ost Islands. The latter of these two Islands were added as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021 on the 20th March 2021. Poplar Island was actually somewhat of two Islands, but for constituency simplicity they were named as one. They were mostly rocky but with some grass on the peaks.<br />
<br />
The Eastern Territory, named the New Purleigh Archipelago, was a semi-permanent area of rocks between Ford and Poplar Island. It was kept as a constituency as under Dominionship they had been considered so.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territory was the only full constituency that was added by the government following independence, but was briefly controlled by Misberia under Flavian Nerva. It was comprised of three areas; Brent Rock to the West (Named after British comedian David Brent, who had featured prominently in Essexian popular culture entertainment), Flavia Rock in the middle (named after the now-defuny Misberian 'Flavian Nerva', which briefly controlled the Southern Territory and Administrative Area Territory. Originally named Whittingdale Rock after Maldon Conservative MP John Whittingdale for his contributions to Essexian and Nervan development) and Cameron Rock in the East (After former British Prime Minister David Cameron for his historic influence on the people of Essexia).<br />
<br />
Between the Nervan area and the United States of America were 53 recognised pieces of landmass (Namely rocks) that Nerva wished not to claim due to proximity issues and a lack of necessity. Therefore, these comprised a large area between the two nations referred to as a Co-administrative Area, which was represented in the HoC but in the interests of continued cooperation with the US. They became a part of Flavian Nerva on the 15th November 2020, but were reintegrated as the Second Co-Administrative Area on the 20th March 2021 as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021.<br />

Summit Day was a [[Poplar Nerva]]n holiday occuring every year on 13 August. It celebrated the success of [[Jack Dean|Premier Jack]] reaching Everest Base Camp in 2019 at around 15:00 local time, and reflected the high ambitions of both [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] and Poplar Nerva.<br />
<br />
The holiday was treated as the equivalent of a Bank Holiday, whereupon places of work may choose the close for the day with no Government repercussions., however Emergency Services and Places of Education were required to remain open and staffed.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Summit Day celebrated the ascension of then-Premier Jack to Everest Base Camp on the 13th August 2019. It was celebrated every year in recognition of Poplar Nerva's progress and ambition, it's potential and ability.<br />
<br />
Despite its description and prominence as Poplar Nerva's only recognised holiday, the occasion was rarely very publicised nor significantly celebrated. The event was never recorded by The Nervan Guardian, and no other micronations ever congratulated Poplar Nerva on this day. It was mostly seen as a political power play by the [[Poplar Republican Party]] to instill national confidence and build a culture.<br />

}}The Premier of the Presidential Republic of [[Poplar Nerva]] was the [[head of state]] and Head of Government, and was elected by popular vote. There were 3 premiers in Poplar's history, comprised of only two separate individuals.<br />
<br />
The Premier was not absolute, as they are confined to abiding by the Constitution. However, the Premier was still the single most powerful position in the nation.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The role of Premier was created by [[Jack Dean|Premier Jack Esq. of Nerva]], the founder of the nation. Being a Presidential Republic, Poplar Nerva is collectively managed by the Premier, however they may delegate their powers to other Government Ministries. These delegation powers weren't expanded upon until the 20th March 2021, however, when Premier Jack created the [[Cabinet (Poplar Nerva)|cabinet]].<br />
<br />
The Premier took a leading role in the dissolution of the nation, with Premier Jack announcing his plans to do so on the 24th October 2022. The remaining active Representatives agreed in full, and the nation was dissolved the following day.<br />
<br />
== Powers ==<br />
Although the Premier was not, in theory, absolute, their large sway and ''de facto'' lack of meaningful opposition meant that they were enable to embark upon effectively any policy they wished to. This was often contrary to what the Premier's party claimed to support.<br />

The '''Poplar Republican Party''' (Commonly abbreviated to '''PRP''') was a Centre-Right political party founded by [[Jack Dean|Jack D]] on the 1 June 2019 as the first political party of his new micronation, [[Poplar Nerva|The Republic of Poplar Nerva]]. <br />
<br />
The party's main focuses were:<br />
<br />
*Preserving Nervan Independence.<br />
*Ensuring Democracy is upheld.<br />
*Seeking closer relations with the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] and the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]].<br />
<br />
The PRP was historically staunchly anti-colonialist, and believed in full independence for colonies and dominions of other micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The PRP held the longest term in Government, being the sole party for nearly the entirety of its 346 day reign. The party was defeated in the 10 May 2020 General Election by Benedict and the [[Poplar Conservative Party]], who won three seats. However, the party won the 3 June 2020 Emergency Election with four seats, after only 23 days in opposition.<br />
<br />
A new logo was adopted on the 28 April 2021 by the party Chairman, as he believed that the Green-and-red arrow logo had grown outdated and remained very low resolution. The new logo featured the letter R which can also be interpreted as a P.<ref>Jack of Nerva, [https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/04/28/prp-adopts-new-logo/ "PRP adopts new logo"]. Archived from [https://www.nervanguardian.wordpress.com the original] on 28th April 2021.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Dissolution ===<br />
The party was, by ''de facto'', dissolved along with Poplar Nerva on the 25th October 2022. It was the longest reigning political party in Poplar Nerva, and was in power for the majority of the party's, and the nation's, existence.<br />

The '''Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party''' (commonly referred to as the Whackos) was a centre-right political party founded by [[Jorge of Nerva]] on the 1st August 2020 in the [[Poplar Nerva|Republic of Poplar Nerva]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The party was founded on the 1st August 2020. However, it had a short life span, being subsequently dissolved following the controversial Consolidation Act on the 8th November 2020, and its members joined the [[Poplar Conservative Party]].<br />
<br />
The party aimed to bring about a true conservative society through the ashes of nuclear fire. They never disclosed how that would even be possible, or how they intended to bring about the nuclear apocalypse. The PPPP was by far seen as the most outlandish and least promising political party in Poplar Nervan history.<br />

The '''Poplar Populist Party''' (Commonly referred to as pop-pop) was a centre-right political party founded by [[James of Nerva]] on the 1st August 2020 in the [[Poplar Nerva|Republic of Poplar Nerva]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The party was founded on the 1st August 2020. However, it had a short life span and, under the Consolidation Act 2020, was merged into [[Poplar Republican Party]] on the 8th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The party had no stated aims, other than achieving a majority in the elected-government of Nerva. It was somewhat criticised for being the third centre-right political party in the nation.<br />

}}'''Poplar Micronational Legal Consultants''' (Abbreviated to Poplar MLC) was an intermicronational organisation devoted to teaching basic legal system concepts, aiding micronations in creating functioning legal structures and providing staff or otherwise organising legal cases. It was impartial and a non-profit organisation, operating within [[Poplar Nerva]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The organisation was created on the evening of the 24th January 2020 following [[Jack Dean|Premier Jack]]'s work in creating a legal structure for another micronation. He wanted to create an organisation free of micronational partiality to aid others, from giving basic advice to creating in-depth legal structures.<br />
<br />
The organisation, by ''de facto'', dissolved with the rest of the nation on the 25th October 2022 at 16:35 BST.<br />
<br />
===[[Essexian Legal System|Essexia]]===<br />
Poplar MLC wrote most of the 'Comprehensive Guide to Essexian Law; Legal Handbook (First Edition)', which was certified by the Supreme Judge the Hon. Jacob and released on the 24th March 2021. It collected the guidelines and statutory regulations on the legal system, as well as relevant statutes, in one document that could be accessed by anyone. The Second Edition was released on the 29th April 2021, and included Essexian legal cases, precedent and more tips (as well as a new cover). Poplar MLC was also included in the foreword as having produced the guide.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack Esq. represented the plaintiff in Jayden v. Matthew (2021) from the 25th March 2021 to the 27 April 2021, a landmark Commonwealth Court case in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was Poplar MLC's first case, and set a number of precedents for future Essexian court cases.<br />
<br />
===Ikonia===<br />
Poplar MLC had agreed to aid the [[Kingdom of Ikonia]] in developing their legal system. They were advising HM Abrams I on the ideal legal system, and planned to write an Ikonian-focused legal handbook. However, these efforts quickly became defunct and led to no notable results.<br />

The '''Poplar Conservative Party''' was the opposition party in the [[Poplar Nerva|Republic of Poplar Nerva]]. They were founded as a further right-wing contrast to the [[Poplar Republican Party]] by [[Premier Benedict of Nerva|Benedict of Nerva]] on 9 May 2020.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
=== Founding and victory ===<br />
The Party was founded on the 9th May 2020 by [[Premier Benedict of Nerva|Benedict]] in order to compete against the PRP in the 10th May General Election. They subsequently won three out of five seats in the HoC, and became the ruling party. However, relatively little was achieved during this short term in office, but their most notable achievement was ending the COVID-19 lockdown, and subsequently reopening the House of Constituents, on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
=== Opposition ===<br />
On the 2nd June 2020, the Second Essexian Civil War began, and the Conservative government opted to support the Second Federation of Essexia over the Commonwealth. This action would prove to be their downfall, as shortly afterwards Popler Nerva was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational (Likely due to Vice Chair and Essexian loyalist Lord Matthew), the blame falling on the ruling party. As such, the HoC held a vote of no confidence in Benedict, which succeeded; [[Jack Dean|Jack]] assumed power, and called a for a General Election to take place on the 3rd June. The [[Poplar Republican Party|PRP]] won this election with four seats, and as such the Conservatives were thrown from government after 23 days.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution ===<br />
They were, by ''de facto'', dissolved with the rest of the nation on the 25th October 2022 at 16:35 BST.<br />
<br />
For most of their existence, the PCP existed as an opposition party to the PRP.<br />

'''Premier Benedict of Nerva''' (often abbreviated to '''Ben''') was a representative of the Presidential Republic of [[Poplar Nerva]], and the nation's former Premier.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Benedict was born in Chelmsford, Essex, UK on 17 September.{{when}}<br />
==History==<br />
Benedict came to power on 10 May 2020 General Election; previously he was somewhat uninvolved, but in order to content [[Jack Dean]] of the [[Poplar Republican Party]], he created the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and won a small majority. He has little experience, but brings new ideas to the table.<br />
<br />
He was removed by popular vote on the 2nd June 2020 due to his actions during the Second Essexian Civil War. Jack Esq., having the second largest party, declared an election the for the 3rd June, which he subsequently won. Benedict was then left with only one seat.<br />

The '''Republic of Poplar Nerva''' was a very small [[micronation]] off the coast of Northern California. It was founded on the 30 May 2019 by [[Jack Dean]] as a micronation independent of the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was admitted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member on the 11 January 2020, and expelled on the 13th October 2022. It was dissolved on the 25th October 2022; 3 years, 4 months and 25 days after its founding.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name 'Poplar' was derived from a plot of land in [[Greater Danbury]], [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] called as such, which Premier Jack had a long history of visiting, in addition to the tree. The name 'Nerva' was applied by the previous claimant of the area.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
Nerva became independent from the Commonwealth of Essexia on 25 May 2019 after Parliament authorised the decolonisation of Essexia's Dominions. Premier Jack quickly and quietly claimed what had been Poplar Nerva, and founded the Republic on the 30th.<br />
<br />
By August 13, Premier Jack was able to reach Everest Base Camp, a success widely acclaimed in Essexia, and commemorated by [[Summit Day]] in Nerva.<br />
<br />
On 19 October General Election, the first of its kind, Premier Jack won in a landslide. With 100% of the vote, he remained Premier.<br />
<br />
===1st Development Phase===<br />
Late November 2019 is referred to as the First Development Period, in which the micronation rapidly expanded in size, both in terms of population and in terms of recognised land (This was when the first post-independence map was created). In particular, the 27th November 2019 saw the establishment of the Territory Recognition Act 2019 (See geography for more). Premier Jack announced to the population on 27 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT that the micronation had ratified the Charter of the Grand Unified Micronational.<br />
<br />
18 December 2019 saw the Constitution Act passed by the Government, which called for the creation of a Constitution within 6 months, in order to solidify the Government and its structure.<br />
<br />
Gay and Straight marriages were officially legalised on 2 January 2020, as the Republican government sought to make the nation more diverse and accepting. Premier Jack released a statement on 3 January 2020 recognising that the US strike on Iranian figure Qasem Soleimani was uncalled for, but that it may have been necessary to prevent further suffering. His statement provided precedent for Poplar Nerva to follow a utilitarian form of ethics when it comes to both domestic and international affairs. The House of Constituencies voted to outlaw the sale of Raw Water in Nerva on 5 January 2020, due to health risks it imposes. It was also noted by some members of the House that the Government should consider similar bans on tobacco, nicotine, cigarettes and vaping, but no official bill was put forward towards this. Premier Jack released a brief statement on 10 January 2020, promoting the full decolonisation of Essexia, however this remained unrecognised by the latter. Poplar Nerva attended their first GUM quorum on 25 January 2020.<br />
<br />
===COVID-19 Phase===<br />
In March 2020, Poplar's borders were closed to prevent the spread of [[COVID-19]]. On the 21st, further measures were put in place, such as the issuing of virtual information pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Following evidence of indecent activity between Daniel Morris of New Westphalia and a number of young, and sometimes underage, children, and specifically the reactions of the Old Guard and some delegates (Bradley of Wyvern and Christina of Cycoldia), the Government held an emergency online meeting, and voted unanimously to leave the organisation. Being present at the 2019 GUM Summit in Birmingham with Daniel Morris, but not being made aware of his past by the old guard also present, Premier Jack stated in a press relief that he was, "Completely disgusted by...Bradley and Christina", and voiced concerns regarding Jonathan of Austenasia's lack of any apology for potentially hiding the dark truth of Daniel Morris. Poplar rejoined a few days later, as they had not been formally removed.<br />
<br />
Following re established contact on the 8th April between Poplar Nerva, [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] and [[Directive of Misberia|Misberia]], a new map of the area was drawn up in the Two Nervas Solution. Poplar ceded the southern areas to Somcow, as Nervas original claim over the area was found to be in violation with previous negotiations. As a result, although the republic's size was greatly reduced, it's foreign relations and legitimacy were given a much-needed boost.<br />
<br />
After the 10th May 2020 General Election, in which the Poplar Republican Party lost by 1 seat to the Poplar Conservative Party, Premier Jack lost his position to Party leader of the Conservatives [[Premier Benedict of Nerva]]. Jack subsequently left the Grand Unified Micronational, and ensured Benedict was permitted to enter.<br />
<br />
Poplar was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational following the Second Essexian Civil War, after the nation supported the Federation over the Commonwealth of Essexia. However, the organisation found that the means by which this was achieved were unconstitutional, and so Poplar's membership was reinstated. In addition, due to the handling of the entire ordeal, Premier Benedict was voted out of office by the HoC, which was reinstated following the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
The House of Constituents called a snap election on the 14th December 2020 due at some point in December. It was controversial as it arrived during Premier Jack's campaign for GUM chair. The Supreme Court found, however, that the method by which this election was called was illegal. Subsequently, there has been no general election.<br />
<br />
===2nd Development Phase===<br />
A new, more representative Coat of Arms was adopted by national referendum on the 20th March 2021. It also established the palm tree as a national symbol of Poplar Nerva. In addition, it was on the 20th March that a Cabinet was formally created. It consists of the Premier of Poplar Nerva, as well as the Secretaries of the Departments of State. Plans were made to alter the format of future Bills. The New Land Area Act 2021 reinstated claims to the islands to the South and South-East of Poplar, after the dissolution of Misberia led to the de facto end of the Flavian Nerva claims.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archiveurl = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Legislation |author = Representative Hall, Rep. Jack Esq.}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Dissolution===<br />
For around a year prior to its dissolution, Poplar Nerva was extremely inactive in all domestic affairs. The majority of its focuses were on international relations, specifically within the Grand Unified Micronational. However, the micronation began to decline in this area as well - in a quorum on the 2nd October 2022, the Chair announced that Poplar Nerva would be eligible for expulsion due to missing at least six consecutive quorum sessions. On the 12th October, Maurice G (the primary delegate for Poplar Nerva) announced to the organisation that he would not seek to prevent the expulsion vote due to inactivity. As such, Poplar Nerva was expelled on the 13th October 2022 with 18 votes for the motion and 4 abstentions. This ended the 2 years, 9 months and 2 days of Poplar Nerva's GUM membership.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack announced to the HoC on the 24th October 2022 that he intended to dissolve the nation due to inactivity, which was met with statements of understanding from the remaining two active Representatives. The nation was formally dissolved at 16:35 BST on the 25th October 2022.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The Republic of Nerva was a Presidential Republic, lead by a Premier (Equivalent of a President), who was elected in National Elections. There were three branches of the Nervan government:<br />
<br />
The Legislative was made up of a unicameral house that created laws and voted them into being, called the Hall of Constituencies (HoC). There was one Representative for each Constituency, who was voted for by the constituents of that area.<br />
<br />
The Executive branch was led by the Premier, beneath which was the Deputy Premier (Often abbreviated to the Deputy). This branch carried out the laws that the HoC has passed. <br />
<br />
The Judicial branch interpreted these laws through the Supreme Court, beneath which was the Court of Appeals, beneath which was the Constituency Courts. Judges were elected by the Constituents for the Constituency Courts, by the Constituency Courts for the Court of Appeals, and chosen by the HoC for the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, and the Poplar legal system, were agreed to be made by the [[Poplar MLC]] on the 24th January 2020, alongside their work on the Essexian legal system.<br />

===History===<br />
In an unprecedented move, the HoC volunteered by majority vote to suspend their legislative sittings to prevent the "unnecessary risk" of spreading COVID-19, on the 21st March 2020. Furthermore, before suspending the HoC, Representatives voted to enact a State of Emergency bill, placing the nation on a higher state of caution. It was reinstated on the 31st May 2020 by Premier benedict.<br />
<br />
Under the infamous '''Consolidation Act''' of the 8th November 2020, the [[Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party]] and [[Poplar Populist Party]] were merged into the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and [[Poplar Republican Party]] respectively. This was in order to stabilise the nation following months of COVID-related lockdown and restrictions, and to spur the government into action.<br />
<br />
From the 19th March 2021, it was decided that a number of great reforms would take place. Firstly, the Hall of Constituencies would be renamed to Representative Hall (RH). On the 20th, the cabinet and government departments were formalised. The number of seats in RH were officially expanded from 5 to 11 on the 25th March 2021 - although legislated by a unanimous vote, this was to be added to an upcoming constitutional rewrite.<br />

==Foreign Relations==<br />
Poplar Nerva was a member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] for most of its existence, and regularly engaged and treaties, projects and opportunities between micronations.<br />

<br />
Premier Jack signed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation with Otto Gillespie Birch of the [[Directive of Misberia]] on the 11th April 2020, ensuring both nations would enter into relations and do so respectfully. However, this ended on the 2nd June 2020, when Misberia ended recognition of Poplar Nerva following the events of the Second Essexian Civil War. Misberia was dissolved in 2021, and as such Poplar Nerva stopped recognition of Flavian Nerva.<br />
<br />
After the disappearance of [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] from the micronational community, the Republican government sought to alter Nerva's claim during November 2020. At the same time, Otto Gillespie Birch of Misberia sought to gain territory in the Nerva region as well. As such, negotiations were held on the 14th November 2020 to discuss the matter, and a new map was produced on the 15th by Premier Jack. Nerva regained it's previous capital, Ford Island, whilst Misberia gained the most southern and eastern islands under Flavian Nerva. Poplar Nerva also stopped recognising Somcow after these negotiations.<br />
<br />
Following an announcement by the Essexian [[CAe Systems]] regarding their progress on the JAFA Program,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://essexian.com/cae-systems-completes-phase-1-of-jafa-program/ | archiveurl = https://essexian.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = CAe Systems completes Phase 1 of JAFA Program |author = The Essexian}}</ref> the [[Secretary of the Defence Department (Poplar Nerva)|Defence Department Secretary]] [[Frank of Nerva|Rep. Frank]] announced Nerva's interest in procuring a single combat aircraft for display/air show purposes. However, Essexia is yet to respond to this request.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/poplar-nerva-interested-in-procuring-essexian-combat-aircraft/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = Poplar Nerva interested in procuring Essexian combat aircraft |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the 30/04/2021, and after some days of talks, Poplar Nerva signed a treaty of Mutual Recognition with the State of Vishwamitra. This is after both states having unilaterally recognised each other as part of the recognition of all GUM member states.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The Government's stance had always been that they saw no situation where they would need any effective military, seeing as the micronation was an Island. Either it would be left to it's devices, or should another Nation or organisation seek to take it, any fight that Nerva would put up would be effectively useless and only prolong an unnecessary conflict. Therefore, only the Ceremonial Republican Navy existed. The CRN allowed Nerva to reap the rewards of an icon of strength and unity without having to invest in a useful show of force.<br />
<br />
It was limited to only practical vessels, and therefore only operated the CRNS Pacific, a 2-person sailing vessel capable of traversing coastal waters. It was introduced to the Poplar Navy prior to the creation of the CRN as a Dominion defence asset. However, it never sailed for the nation.<br />
<br />
CRN ships were stored and maintained by [[Paddocks Boat Co]], an Essexian ship-specialist company.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Nerva's prime culture outlet was ''<nowiki/>'The Nervan Guardian''' magazine, run as a cooperative venture by the [[Dean Network]]. It covered topics from both Nerva and the wider micronational community, roughly once a month. A website for the Nervan Guardian was finalised on the 19th March 2021.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/nervan-guardian-finally-reaches-out-online/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/ | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Headlines |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a result of the Language Act 2020, Poplar Nerva rescinded recognition of any language other than English (United Kingdom) as an official language of the republic.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Poplar Nerva was located off the coast of North-Eastern California. It featured 11 constituencies which all administrated a number of islands.<br />
<br />
===Claims===<br />
Ford Island, originally Mecca Island when Nerva was an [[Dominions of Essexia|Essexian Dominion]], was named after Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford for her contribution to Essexia and, therefore, Nerva. It was the capital Island, and featured grassland on the East side, and sand and rocks on the West side. Rocks shielded the Island from oncoming waves. It briefly belonged to Somcow for most of 2020, but returned to Nerva after the 15th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The Northern Territory was comprised of Poplar Island, Edward Rock, William Rock, the Nord Islands and the Ost Islands. The latter of these two Islands were added as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021 on the 20th March 2021. Poplar Island was actually somewhat of two Islands, but for constituency simplicity they were named as one. They were mostly rocky but with some grass on the peaks.<br />
<br />
The Eastern Territory, named the New Purleigh Archipelago, was a semi-permanent area of rocks between Ford and Poplar Island. It was kept as a constituency as under Dominionship they had been considered so.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territory was the only full constituency that was added by the government following independence, but was briefly controlled by Misberia under Flavian Nerva. It was comprised of three areas; Brent Rock to the West (Named after British comedian David Brent, who had featured prominently in Essexian popular culture entertainment), Flavia Rock in the middle (named after the now-defuny Misberian 'Flavian Nerva', which briefly controlled the Southern Territory and Administrative Area Territory. Originally named Whittingdale Rock after Maldon Conservative MP John Whittingdale for his contributions to Essexian and Nervan development) and Cameron Rock in the East (After former British Prime Minister David Cameron for his historic influence on the people of Essexia).<br />
<br />
Between the Nervan area and the United States of America were 53 recognised pieces of landmass (Namely rocks) that Nerva wished not to claim due to proximity issues and a lack of necessity. Therefore, these comprised a large area between the two nations referred to as a Co-administrative Area, which was represented in the HoC but in the interests of continued cooperation with the US. They became a part of Flavian Nerva on the 15th November 2020, but were reintegrated as the Second Co-Administrative Area on the 20th March 2021 as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021.<br />

The '''Republic of Poplar Nerva''' was a very small [[micronation]] off the coast of Northern California. It was founded on the 30 May 2019 by [[Jack Dean]] as a micronation independent of the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was admitted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member on the 11 January 2020, and expelled on the 13th October 2022. It was dissolved on the 25th October 2022; 3 years, 4 months and 25 days after its founding.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name 'Poplar' was derived from a plot of land in [[Greater Danbury]], [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] called as such, which Premier Jack had a long history of visiting, in addition to the tree. The name 'Nerva' was applied by the previous claimant of the area.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
Nerva became independent from the Commonwealth of Essexia on 25 May 2019 after Parliament authorised the decolonisation of Essexia's Dominions. Premier Jack quickly and quietly claimed what had been Poplar Nerva, and founded the Republic on the 30th.<br />
<br />
By August 13, Premier Jack was able to reach Everest Base Camp, a success widely acclaimed in Essexia, and commemorated by [[Summit Day]] in Nerva.<br />
<br />
On 19 October General Election, the first of its kind, Premier Jack won in a landslide. With 100% of the vote, he remained Premier.<br />
<br />
===1st Development Phase===<br />
Late November 2019 is referred to as the First Development Period, in which the micronation rapidly expanded in size, both in terms of population and in terms of recognised land (This was when the first post-independence map was created). In particular, the 27th November 2019 saw the establishment of the Territory Recognition Act 2019 (See geography for more). Premier Jack announced to the population on 27 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT that the micronation had ratified the Charter of the Grand Unified Micronational.<br />
<br />
18 December 2019 saw the Constitution Act passed by the Government, which called for the creation of a Constitution within 6 months, in order to solidify the Government and its structure.<br />
<br />
Gay and Straight marriages were officially legalised on 2 January 2020, as the Republican government sought to make the nation more diverse and accepting. Premier Jack released a statement on 3 January 2020 recognising that the US strike on Iranian figure Qasem Soleimani was uncalled for, but that it may have been necessary to prevent further suffering. His statement provided precedent for Poplar Nerva to follow a utilitarian form of ethics when it comes to both domestic and international affairs. The House of Constituencies voted to outlaw the sale of Raw Water in Nerva on 5 January 2020, due to health risks it imposes. It was also noted by some members of the House that the Government should consider similar bans on tobacco, nicotine, cigarettes and vaping, but no official bill was put forward towards this. Premier Jack released a brief statement on 10 January 2020, promoting the full decolonisation of Essexia, however this remained unrecognised by the latter. Poplar Nerva attended their first GUM quorum on 25 January 2020.<br />
<br />
===COVID-19 Phase===<br />
In March 2020, Poplar's borders were closed to prevent the spread of [[COVID-19]]. On the 21st, further measures were put in place, such as the issuing of virtual information pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Following evidence of indecent activity between Daniel Morris of New Westphalia and a number of young, and sometimes underage, children, and specifically the reactions of the Old Guard and some delegates (Bradley of Wyvern and Christina of Cycoldia), the Government held an emergency online meeting, and voted unanimously to leave the organisation. Being present at the 2019 GUM Summit in Birmingham with Daniel Morris, but not being made aware of his past by the old guard also present, Premier Jack stated in a press relief that he was, "Completely disgusted by...Bradley and Christina", and voiced concerns regarding Jonathan of Austenasia's lack of any apology for potentially hiding the dark truth of Daniel Morris. Poplar rejoined a few days later, as they had not been formally removed.<br />
<br />
Following re established contact on the 8th April between Poplar Nerva, [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] and [[Directive of Misberia|Misberia]], a new map of the area was drawn up in the Two Nervas Solution. Poplar ceded the southern areas to Somcow, as Nervas original claim over the area was found to be in violation with previous negotiations. As a result, although the republic's size was greatly reduced, it's foreign relations and legitimacy were given a much-needed boost.<br />
<br />
After the 10th May 2020 General Election, in which the Poplar Republican Party lost by 1 seat to the Poplar Conservative Party, Premier Jack lost his position to Party leader of the Conservatives [[Premier Benedict of Nerva]]. Jack subsequently left the Grand Unified Micronational, and ensured Benedict was permitted to enter.<br />
<br />
Poplar was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational following the Second Essexian Civil War, after the nation supported the Federation over the Commonwealth of Essexia. However, the organisation found that the means by which this was achieved were unconstitutional, and so Poplar's membership was reinstated. In addition, due to the handling of the entire ordeal, Premier Benedict was voted out of office by the HoC, which was reinstated following the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
The House of Constituents called a snap election on the 14th December 2020 due at some point in December. It was controversial as it arrived during Premier Jack's campaign for GUM chair. The Supreme Court found, however, that the method by which this election was called was illegal. Subsequently, there has been no general election.<br />
<br />
===2nd Development Phase===<br />
A new, more representative Coat of Arms was adopted by national referendum on the 20th March 2021. It also established the palm tree as a national symbol of Poplar Nerva. In addition, it was on the 20th March that a Cabinet was formally created. It consists of the Premier of Poplar Nerva, as well as the Secretaries of the Departments of State. Plans were made to alter the format of future Bills. The New Land Area Act 2021 reinstated claims to the islands to the South and South-East of Poplar, after the dissolution of Misberia led to the de facto end of the Flavian Nerva claims.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archiveurl = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Legislation |author = Representative Hall, Rep.

<br />
===Dissolution===<br />
For around a year prior to its dissolution, Poplar Nerva was extremely inactive in all domestic affairs. The majority of its focuses were on international relations, specifically within the Grand Unified Micronational. However, the micronation began to decline in this area as well - in a quorum on the 2nd October 2022, the Chair announced that Poplar Nerva would be eligible for expulsion due to missing at least six consecutive quorum sessions. On the 12th October, Maurice G (the primary delegate for Poplar Nerva) announced to the organisation that he would not seek to prevent the expulsion vote due to inactivity. As such, Poplar Nerva was expelled on the 13th October 2022 with 18 votes for the motion and 4 abstentions. This ended the 2 years, 9 months and 2 days of Poplar Nerva's GUM membership.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack announced to the HoC on the 24th October 2022 that he intended to dissolve the nation due to inactivity, which was met with statements of understanding from the remaining two active Representatives. The nation was formally dissolved at 16:35 BST on the 25th October 2022.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The Republic of Nerva was a Presidential Republic, lead by a Premier (Equivalent of a President), who was elected in National Elections. There were three branches of the Nervan government:<br />
<br />
The Legislative was made up of a unicameral house that created laws and voted them into being, called the Hall of Constituencies (HoC). There was one Representative for each Constituency, who was voted for by the constituents of that area.<br />
<br />
The Executive branch was led by the Premier, beneath which was the Deputy Premier (Often abbreviated to the Deputy). This branch carried out the laws that the HoC has passed. <br />
<br />
The Judicial branch interpreted these laws through the Supreme Court, beneath which was the Court of Appeals, beneath which was the Constituency Courts. Judges were elected by the Constituents for the Constituency Courts, by the Constituency Courts for the Court of Appeals, and chosen by the HoC for the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, and the Poplar legal system, were agreed to be made by the [[Poplar MLC]] on the 24th January 2020, alongside their work on the Essexian legal system.<br />

===History===<br />
In an unprecedented move, the HoC volunteered by majority vote to suspend their legislative sittings to prevent the "unnecessary risk" of spreading COVID-19, on the 21st March 2020. Furthermore, before suspending the HoC, Representatives voted to enact a State of Emergency bill, placing the nation on a higher state of caution. It was reinstated on the 31st May 2020 by Premier benedict.<br />
<br />
Under the infamous '''Consolidation Act''' of the 8th November 2020, the [[Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party]] and [[Poplar Populist Party]] were merged into the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and [[Poplar Republican Party]] respectively. This was in order to stabilise the nation following months of COVID-related lockdown and restrictions, and to spur the government into action.<br />
<br />
From the 19th March 2021, it was decided that a number of great reforms would take place. Firstly, the Hall of Constituencies would be renamed to Representative Hall (RH). On the 20th, the cabinet and government departments were formalised. The number of seats in RH were officially expanded from 5 to 11 on the 25th March 2021 - although legislated by a unanimous vote, this was to be added to an upcoming constitutional rewrite.<br />

Poplar Nerva was a member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] for most of its existence, and regularly engaged and treaties, projects and opportunities between micronations.<br />

<br />
Premier Jack signed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation with Otto Gillespie Birch of the [[Directive of Misberia]] on the 11th April 2020, ensuring both nations would enter into relations and do so respectfully. However, this ended on the 2nd June 2020, when Misberia ended recognition of Poplar Nerva following the events of the Second Essexian Civil War. Misberia was dissolved in 2021, and as such Poplar Nerva stopped recognition of Flavian Nerva.<br />
<br />
After the disappearance of [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] from the micronational community, the Republican government sought to alter Nerva's claim during November 2020. At the same time, Otto Gillespie Birch of Misberia sought to gain territory in the Nerva region as well. As such, negotiations were held on the 14th November 2020 to discuss the matter, and a new map was produced on the 15th by Premier Jack. Nerva regained it's previous capital, Ford Island, whilst Misberia gained the most southern and eastern islands under Flavian Nerva. Poplar Nerva also stopped recognising Somcow after these negotiations.<br />
<br />
Following an announcement by the Essexian [[CAe Systems]] regarding their progress on the JAFA Program,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://essexian.com/cae-systems-completes-phase-1-of-jafa-program/ | archiveurl = https://essexian.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = CAe Systems completes Phase 1 of JAFA Program |author = The Essexian}}</ref> the [[Secretary of the Defence Department (Poplar Nerva)|Defence Department Secretary]] [[Frank of Nerva|Rep. Frank]] announced Nerva's interest in procuring a single combat aircraft for display/air show purposes. However, Essexia is yet to respond to this request.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/poplar-nerva-interested-in-procuring-essexian-combat-aircraft/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = Poplar Nerva interested in procuring Essexian combat aircraft |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the 30/04/2021, and after some days of talks, Poplar Nerva signed a treaty of Mutual Recognition with the State of Vishwamitra. This is after both states having unilaterally recognised each other as part of the recognition of all GUM member states.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The Government's stance had always been that they saw no situation where they would need any effective military, seeing as the micronation was an Island. Either it would be left to it's devices, or should another Nation or organisation seek to take it, any fight that Nerva would put up would be effectively useless and only prolong an unnecessary conflict. Therefore, only the Ceremonial Republican Navy existed. The CRN allowed Nerva to reap the rewards of an icon of strength and unity without having to invest in a useful show of force.<br />
<br />
It was limited to only practical vessels, and therefore only operated the CRNS Pacific, a 2-person sailing vessel capable of traversing coastal waters. It was introduced to the Poplar Navy prior to the creation of the CRN as a Dominion defence asset. However, it never sailed for the nation.<br />
<br />
CRN ships were stored and maintained by [[Paddocks Boat Co]], an Essexian ship-specialist company.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Nerva's prime culture outlet was ''<nowiki/>'The Nervan Guardian''' magazine, run as a cooperative venture by the [[Dean Network]]. It covered topics from both Nerva and the wider micronational community, roughly once a month. A website for the Nervan Guardian was finalised on the 19th March 2021.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/nervan-guardian-finally-reaches-out-online/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/ | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Headlines |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a result of the Language Act 2020, Poplar Nerva rescinded recognition of any language other than English (United Kingdom) as an official language of the republic.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Poplar Nerva was located off the coast of North-Eastern California. It featured 11 constituencies which all administrated a number of islands.<br />
<br />
===Claims===<br />
Ford Island, originally Mecca Island when Nerva was an [[Dominions of Essexia|Essexian Dominion]], was named after Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford for her contribution to Essexia and, therefore, Nerva. It was the capital Island, and featured grassland on the East side, and sand and rocks on the West side. Rocks shielded the Island from oncoming waves. It briefly belonged to Somcow for most of 2020, but returned to Nerva after the 15th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The Northern Territory was comprised of Poplar Island, Edward Rock, William Rock, the Nord Islands and the Ost Islands. The latter of these two Islands were added as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021 on the 20th March 2021. Poplar Island was actually somewhat of two Islands, but for constituency simplicity they were named as one. They were mostly rocky but with some grass on the peaks.<br />
<br />
The Eastern Territory, named the New Purleigh Archipelago, was a semi-permanent area of rocks between Ford and Poplar Island. It was kept as a constituency as under Dominionship they had been considered so.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territory was the only full constituency that was added by the government following independence, but was briefly controlled by Misberia under Flavian Nerva. It was comprised of three areas; Brent Rock to the West (Named after British comedian David Brent, who had featured prominently in Essexian popular culture entertainment), Flavia Rock in the middle (named after the now-defuny Misberian 'Flavian Nerva', which briefly controlled the Southern Territory and Administrative Area Territory. Originally named Whittingdale Rock after Maldon Conservative MP John Whittingdale for his contributions to Essexian and Nervan development) and Cameron Rock in the East (After former British Prime Minister David Cameron for his historic influence on the people of Essexia).<br />
<br />
Between the Nervan area and the United States of America were 53 recognised pieces of landmass (Namely rocks) that Nerva wished not to claim due to proximity issues and a lack of necessity. Therefore, these comprised a large area between the two nations referred to as a Co-administrative Area, which was represented in the HoC but in the interests of continued cooperation with the US. They became a part of Flavian Nerva on the 15th November 2020, but were reintegrated as the Second Co-Administrative Area on the 20th March 2021 as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021.<br />

The '''Republic of Poplar Nerva''' was a very small [[micronation]] off the coast of Northern California. It was founded on the 30 May 2019 by [[Jack Dean]] as a micronation independent of the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was admitted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member on the 11 January 2020, and expelled on the 13th October 2022. It was dissolved on the 25th October 2022; 3 years, 4 months and 25 days after its founding.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name 'Poplar' was derived from a plot of land in [[Greater Danbury]], [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] called as such, which Premier Jack had a long history of visiting, in addition to the tree. The name 'Nerva' was applied by the previous claimant of the area.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
Nerva became independent from the Commonwealth of Essexia on 25 May 2019 after Parliament authorised the decolonisation of Essexia's Dominions. Premier Jack quickly and quietly claimed what had been Poplar Nerva, and founded the Republic on the 30th.<br />
<br />
By August 13, Premier Jack was able to reach Everest Base Camp, a success widely acclaimed in Essexia, and commemorated by [[Summit Day]] in Nerva.<br />
<br />
On 19 October General Election, the first of its kind, Premier Jack won in a landslide. With 100% of the vote, he remained Premier.<br />
<br />
===1st Development Phase===<br />
Late November 2019 is referred to as the First Development Period, in which the micronation rapidly expanded in size, both in terms of population and in terms of recognised land (This was when the first post-independence map was created). In particular, the 27th November 2019 saw the establishment of the Territory Recognition Act 2019 (See geography for more). Premier Jack announced to the population on 27 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT that the micronation had ratified the Charter of the Grand Unified Micronational.<br />
<br />
18 December 2019 saw the Constitution Act passed by the Government, which called for the creation of a Constitution within 6 months, in order to solidify the Government and its structure.<br />
<br />
Gay and Straight marriages were officially legalised on 2 January 2020, as the Republican government sought to make the nation more diverse and accepting. Premier Jack released a statement on 3 January 2020 recognising that the US strike on Iranian figure Qasem Soleimani was uncalled for, but that it may have been necessary to prevent further suffering. His statement provided precedent for Poplar Nerva to follow a utilitarian form of ethics when it comes to both domestic and international affairs. The House of Constituencies voted to outlaw the sale of Raw Water in Nerva on 5 January 2020, due to health risks it imposes. It was also noted by some members of the House that the Government should consider similar bans on tobacco, nicotine, cigarettes and vaping, but no official bill was put forward towards this. Premier Jack released a brief statement on 10 January 2020, promoting the full decolonisation of Essexia, however this remained unrecognised by the latter. Poplar Nerva attended their first GUM quorum on 25 January 2020.<br />
<br />
===COVID-19 Phase===<br />
In March 2020, Poplar's borders were closed to prevent the spread of [[COVID-19]]. On the 21st, further measures were put in place, such as the issuing of virtual information pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Following evidence of indecent activity between Daniel Morris of New Westphalia and a number of young, and sometimes underage, children, and specifically the reactions of the Old Guard and some delegates (Bradley of Wyvern and Christina of Cycoldia), the Government held an emergency online meeting, and voted unanimously to leave the organisation. Being present at the 2019 GUM Summit in Birmingham with Daniel Morris, but not being made aware of his past by the old guard also present, Premier Jack stated in a press relief that he was, "Completely disgusted by...Bradley and Christina", and voiced concerns regarding Jonathan of Austenasia's lack of any apology for potentially hiding the dark truth of Daniel Morris. Poplar rejoined a few days later, as they had not been formally removed.<br />
<br />
Following re established contact on the 8th April between Poplar Nerva, [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] and [[Directive of Misberia|Misberia]], a new map of the area was drawn up in the Two Nervas Solution. Poplar ceded the southern areas to Somcow, as Nervas original claim over the area was found to be in violation with previous negotiations. As a result, although the republic's size was greatly reduced, it's foreign relations and legitimacy were given a much-needed boost.<br />
<br />
After the 10th May 2020 General Election, in which the Poplar Republican Party lost by 1 seat to the Poplar Conservative Party, Premier Jack lost his position to Party leader of the Conservatives [[Premier Benedict of Nerva]]. Jack subsequently left the Grand Unified Micronational, and ensured Benedict was permitted to enter.<br />
<br />
Poplar was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational following the Second Essexian Civil War, after the nation supported the Federation over the Commonwealth of Essexia. However, the organisation found that the means by which this was achieved were unconstitutional, and so Poplar's membership was reinstated. In addition, due to the handling of the entire ordeal, Premier Benedict was voted out of office by the HoC, which was reinstated following the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
The House of Constituents called a snap election on the 14th December 2020 due at some point in December. It was controversial as it arrived during Premier Jack's campaign for GUM chair. The Supreme Court found, however, that the method by which this election was called was illegal. Subsequently, there has been no general election.<br />
<br />
===2nd Development Phase===<br />
A new, more representative Coat of Arms was adopted by national referendum on the 20th March 2021. It also established the palm tree as a national symbol of Poplar Nerva. In addition, it was on the 20th March that a Cabinet was formally created. It consists of the Premier of Poplar Nerva, as well as the Secretaries of the Departments of State. Plans were made to alter the format of future Bills. The New Land Area Act 2021 reinstated claims to the islands to the South and South-East of Poplar, after the dissolution of Misberia led to the de facto end of the Flavian Nerva claims.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archiveurl = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Legislation |author = Representative Hall, Rep. Jack Esq.}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Dissolution===<br />
For around a year prior to its dissolution, Poplar Nerva was extremely inactive in all domestic affairs. The majority of its focuses were on international relations, specifically within the Grand Unified Micronational. However, the micronation began to decline in this area as well - in a quorum on the 2nd October 2022, the Chair announced that Poplar Nerva would be eligible for expulsion due to missing at least six consecutive quorum sessions. On the 12th October, Maurice G (the primary delegate for Poplar Nerva) announced to the organisation that he would not seek to prevent the expulsion vote due to inactivity. As such, Poplar Nerva was expelled on the 13th October 2022 with 18 votes for the motion and 4 abstentions. This ended the 2 years, 9 months and 2 days of Poplar Nerva's GUM membership.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack announced to the HoC on the 24th October 2022 that he intended to dissolve the nation due to inactivity, which was met with statements of understanding from the remaining two active Representatives. The nation was formally dissolved at 16:35 BST on the 25th October 2022.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The Republic of Nerva was a Presidential Republic, lead by a Premier (Equivalent of a President), who was elected in National Elections. There were three branches of the Nervan government:<br />
<br />
The Legislative was made up of a unicameral house that created laws and voted them into being, called the Hall of Constituencies (HoC). There was one Representative for each Constituency, who was voted for by the constituents of that area.<br />
<br />
The Executive branch was led by the Premier, beneath which was the Deputy Premier (Often abbreviated to the Deputy). This branch carried out the laws that the HoC has passed. <br />
<br />
The Judicial branch interpreted these laws through the Supreme Court, beneath which was the Court of Appeals, beneath which was the Constituency Courts. Judges were elected by the Constituents for the Constituency Courts, by the Constituency Courts for the Court of Appeals, and chosen by the HoC for the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, and the Poplar legal system, were agreed to be made by the [[Poplar MLC]] on the 24th January 2020, alongside their work on the Essexian legal system.<br />

===History===<br />
In an unprecedented move, the HoC volunteered by majority vote to suspend their legislative sittings to prevent the "unnecessary risk" of spreading COVID-19, on the 21st March 2020. Furthermore, before suspending the HoC, Representatives voted to enact a State of Emergency bill, placing the nation on a higher state of caution. It was reinstated on the 31st May 2020 by Premier benedict.<br />
<br />
Under the infamous '''Consolidation Act''' of the 8th November 2020, the [[Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party]] and [[Poplar Populist Party]] were merged into the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and [[Poplar Republican Party]] respectively. This was in order to stabilise the nation following months of COVID-related lockdown and restrictions, and to spur the government into action.<br />
<br />
From the 19th March 2021, it was decided that a number of great reforms would take place. Firstly, the Hall of Constituencies would be renamed to Representative Hall (RH). On the 20th, the cabinet and government departments were formalised. The number of seats in RH were officially expanded from 5 to 11 on the 25th March 2021 - although legislated by a unanimous vote, this was to be added to an upcoming constitutional rewrite.<br />

Poplar Nerva was a member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] for most of its existence, and regularly engaged and treaties, projects and opportunities between micronations.<br />

<br />
Premier Jack signed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation with Otto Gillespie Birch of the [[Directive of Misberia]] on the 11th April 2020, ensuring both nations would enter into relations and do so respectfully. However, this ended on the 2nd June 2020, when Misberia ended recognition of Poplar Nerva following the events of the Second Essexian Civil War. Misberia was dissolved in 2021, and as such Poplar Nerva stopped recognition of Flavian Nerva.<br />
<br />
After the disappearance of [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] from the micronational community, the Republican government sought to alter Nerva's claim during November 2020. At the same time, Otto Gillespie Birch of Misberia sought to gain territory in the Nerva region as well. As such, negotiations were held on the 14th November 2020 to discuss the matter, and a new map was produced on the 15th by Premier Jack. Nerva regained it's previous capital, Ford Island, whilst Misberia gained the most southern and eastern islands under Flavian Nerva. Poplar Nerva also stopped recognising Somcow after these negotiations.<br />

Frank]] announced Nerva's interest in procuring a single combat aircraft for display/air show purposes. However, Essexia is yet to respond to this request.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/poplar-nerva-interested-in-procuring-essexian-combat-aircraft/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = Poplar Nerva interested in procuring Essexian combat aircraft |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the 30/04/2021, and after some days of talks, Poplar Nerva signed a treaty of Mutual Recognition with the State of Vishwamitra. This is after both states having unilaterally recognised each other as part of the recognition of all GUM member states.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The Government's stance had always been that they saw no situation where they would need any effective military, seeing as the micronation was an Island. Either it would be left to it's devices, or should another Nation or organisation seek to take it, any fight that Nerva would put up would be effectively useless and only prolong an unnecessary conflict. Therefore, only the Ceremonial Republican Navy existed. The CRN allowed Nerva to reap the rewards of an icon of strength and unity without having to invest in a useful show of force.<br />
<br />
It was limited to only practical vessels, and therefore only operated the CRNS Pacific, a 2-person sailing vessel capable of traversing coastal waters. It was introduced to the Poplar Navy prior to the creation of the CRN as a Dominion defence asset. However, it never sailed for the nation.<br />
<br />
CRN ships were stored and maintained by [[Paddocks Boat Co]], an Essexian ship-specialist company.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Nerva's prime culture outlet was ''<nowiki/>'The Nervan Guardian''' magazine, run as a cooperative venture by the [[Dean Network]]. It covered topics from both Nerva and the wider micronational community, roughly once a month. A website for the Nervan Guardian was finalised on the 19th March 2021.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/nervan-guardian-finally-reaches-out-online/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/ | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Headlines |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a result of the Language Act 2020, Poplar Nerva rescinded recognition of any language other than English (United Kingdom) as an official language of the republic.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Poplar Nerva was located off the coast of North-Eastern California. It featured 11 constituencies which all administrated a number of islands.<br />
<br />
===Claims===<br />
Ford Island, originally Mecca Island when Nerva was an [[Dominions of Essexia|Essexian Dominion]], was named after Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford for her contribution to Essexia and, therefore, Nerva. It was the capital Island, and featured grassland on the East side, and sand and rocks on the West side. Rocks shielded the Island from oncoming waves. It briefly belonged to Somcow for most of 2020, but returned to Nerva after the 15th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The Northern Territory was comprised of Poplar Island, Edward Rock, William Rock, the Nord Islands and the Ost Islands. The latter of these two Islands were added as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021 on the 20th March 2021. Poplar Island was actually somewhat of two Islands, but for constituency simplicity they were named as one. They were mostly rocky but with some grass on the peaks.<br />
<br />
The Eastern Territory, named the New Purleigh Archipelago, was a semi-permanent area of rocks between Ford and Poplar Island. It was kept as a constituency as under Dominionship they had been considered so.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territory was the only full constituency that was added by the government following independence, but was briefly controlled by Misberia under Flavian Nerva. It was comprised of three areas; Brent Rock to the West (Named after British comedian David Brent, who had featured prominently in Essexian popular culture entertainment), Flavia Rock in the middle (named after the now-defuny Misberian 'Flavian Nerva', which briefly controlled the Southern Territory and Administrative Area Territory. Originally named Whittingdale Rock after Maldon Conservative MP John Whittingdale for his contributions to Essexian and Nervan development) and Cameron Rock in the East (After former British Prime Minister David Cameron for his historic influence on the people of Essexia).<br />
<br />
Between the Nervan area and the United States of America were 53 recognised pieces of landmass (Namely rocks) that Nerva wished not to claim due to proximity issues and a lack of necessity. Therefore, these comprised a large area between the two nations referred to as a Co-administrative Area, which was represented in the HoC but in the interests of continued cooperation with the US. They became a part of Flavian Nerva on the 15th November 2020, but were reintegrated as the Second Co-Administrative Area on the 20th March 2021 as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021.<br />

The '''Republic of Poplar Nerva''' was a very small [[micronation]] off the coast of Northern California. It was founded on the 30 May 2019 by [[Jack Dean]] as a micronation independent of the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It was admitted into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member on the 11 January 2020, and expelled on the 13th October 2022. It was dissolved on the 25th October 2022; 3 years, 4 months and 25 days after its founding.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name 'Poplar' was derived from a plot of land in [[Greater Danbury]], [[Commonwealth of Essexia|Essexia]] called as such, which Premier Jack had a long history of visiting, in addition to the tree. The name 'Nerva' was applied by the previous claimant of the area.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Founding===<br />
Nerva became independent from the Commonwealth of Essexia on 25 May 2019 after Parliament authorised the decolonisation of Essexia's Dominions. Premier Jack quickly and quietly claimed what had been Poplar Nerva, and founded the Republic on the 30th.<br />
<br />
By August 13, Premier Jack was able to reach Everest Base Camp, a success widely acclaimed in Essexia, and commemorated by [[Summit Day]] in Nerva.<br />
<br />
On 19 October General Election, the first of its kind, Premier Jack won in a landslide. With 100% of the vote, he remained Premier.<br />
<br />
===1st Development Phase===<br />
Late November 2019 is referred to as the First Development Period, in which the micronation rapidly expanded in size, both in terms of population and in terms of recognised land (This was when the first post-independence map was created). In particular, the 27th November 2019 saw the establishment of the Territory Recognition Act 2019 (See geography for more). Premier Jack announced to the population on 27 November 2019 at 16:00 GMT that the micronation had ratified the Charter of the Grand Unified Micronational.<br />
<br />
18 December 2019 saw the Constitution Act passed by the Government, which called for the creation of a Constitution within 6 months, in order to solidify the Government and its structure.<br />
<br />
Gay and Straight marriages were officially legalised on 2 January 2020, as the Republican government sought to make the nation more diverse and accepting. Premier Jack released a statement on 3 January 2020 recognising that the US strike on Iranian figure Qasem Soleimani was uncalled for, but that it may have been necessary to prevent further suffering. His statement provided precedent for Poplar Nerva to follow a utilitarian form of ethics when it comes to both domestic and international affairs. The House of Constituencies voted to outlaw the sale of Raw Water in Nerva on 5 January 2020, due to health risks it imposes. It was also noted by some members of the House that the Government should consider similar bans on tobacco, nicotine, cigarettes and vaping, but no official bill was put forward towards this. Premier Jack released a brief statement on 10 January 2020, promoting the full decolonisation of Essexia, however this remained unrecognised by the latter. Poplar Nerva attended their first GUM quorum on 25 January 2020.<br />
<br />
===COVID-19 Phase===<br />
In March 2020, Poplar's borders were closed to prevent the spread of [[COVID-19]]. On the 21st, further measures were put in place, such as the issuing of virtual information pamphlets.<br />
<br />
Following evidence of indecent activity between Daniel Morris of New Westphalia and a number of young, and sometimes underage, children, and specifically the reactions of the Old Guard and some delegates (Bradley of Wyvern and Christina of Cycoldia), the Government held an emergency online meeting, and voted unanimously to leave the organisation. Being present at the 2019 GUM Summit in Birmingham with Daniel Morris, but not being made aware of his past by the old guard also present, Premier Jack stated in a press relief that he was, "Completely disgusted by...Bradley and Christina", and voiced concerns regarding Jonathan of Austenasia's lack of any apology for potentially hiding the dark truth of Daniel Morris. Poplar rejoined a few days later, as they had not been formally removed.<br />
<br />
Following re established contact on the 8th April between Poplar Nerva, [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] and [[Directive of Misberia|Misberia]], a new map of the area was drawn up in the Two Nervas Solution. Poplar ceded the southern areas to Somcow, as Nervas original claim over the area was found to be in violation with previous negotiations. As a result, although the republic's size was greatly reduced, it's foreign relations and legitimacy were given a much-needed boost.<br />
<br />
After the 10th May 2020 General Election, in which the Poplar Republican Party lost by 1 seat to the Poplar Conservative Party, Premier Jack lost his position to Party leader of the Conservatives [[Premier Benedict of Nerva]]. Jack subsequently left the Grand Unified Micronational, and ensured Benedict was permitted to enter.<br />
<br />
Poplar was suspended from the Grand Unified Micronational following the Second Essexian Civil War, after the nation supported the Federation over the Commonwealth of Essexia. However, the organisation found that the means by which this was achieved were unconstitutional, and so Poplar's membership was reinstated. In addition, due to the handling of the entire ordeal, Premier Benedict was voted out of office by the HoC, which was reinstated following the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the 31st May 2020.<br />
<br />
The House of Constituents called a snap election on the 14th December 2020 due at some point in December. It was controversial as it arrived during Premier Jack's campaign for GUM chair. The Supreme Court found, however, that the method by which this election was called was illegal. Subsequently, there has been no general election.<br />
<br />
===2nd Development Phase===<br />
A new, more representative Coat of Arms was adopted by national referendum on the 20th March 2021. It also established the palm tree as a national symbol of Poplar Nerva. In addition, it was on the 20th March that a Cabinet was formally created. It consists of the Premier of Poplar Nerva, as well as the Secretaries of the Departments of State. Plans were made to alter the format of future Bills. The New Land Area Act 2021 reinstated claims to the islands to the South and South-East of Poplar, after the dissolution of Misberia led to the de facto end of the Flavian Nerva claims.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archiveurl = https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMZYEaYzOEPtmNwtoNb5jFkfQYZVnKDNGo0nkz0X2ao/edit?usp=sharing | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Legislation |author = Representative Hall, Rep. Jack Esq.}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Dissolution ===<br />
For around a year prior to its dissolution, Poplar Nerva was extremely inactive in all domestic affairs. The majority of its focuses were on international relations, specifically within the Grand Unified Micronational. However, the micronation began to decline in this area as well - in a quorum on the 2nd October 2022, the Chair announced that Poplar Nerva would be eligible for expulsion due to missing at least six consecutive quorum sessions. On the 12th October, Maurice G (the primary delegate for Poplar Nerva) announced to the organisation that he would not seek to prevent the expulsion vote due to inactivity. As such, Poplar Nerva was expelled on the 13th October 2022 with 18 votes for the motion and 4 abstentions. This ended the 2 years, 9 months and 2 days of Poplar Nerva's GUM membership.<br />
<br />
Premier Jack announced to the HoC on the 24th October 2022 that he intended to dissolve the nation due to inactivity, which was met with statements of understanding from the remaining two active Representatives. The nation was formally dissolved at 16:35 BST on the 25th October 2022.<br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
The Republic of Nerva was a Presidential Republic, lead by a Premier (Equivalent of a President), who was elected in National Elections. There were three branches of the Nervan government:<br />
<br />
The Legislative was made up of a unicameral house that created laws and voted them into being, called the Hall of Constituencies (HoC). There was one Representative for each Constituency, who was voted for by the constituents of that area.<br />
<br />
The Executive branch was led by the Premier, beneath which was the Deputy Premier (Often abbreviated to the Deputy). This branch carried out the laws that the HoC has passed. <br />
<br />
The Judicial branch interpreted these laws through the Supreme Court, beneath which was the Court of Appeals, beneath which was the Constituency Courts. Judges were elected by the Constituents for the Constituency Courts, by the Constituency Courts for the Court of Appeals, and chosen by the HoC for the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court, and the Poplar legal system, were agreed to be made by the [[Poplar MLC]] on the 24th January 2020, alongside their work on the Essexian legal system.<br />

===History===<br />
In an unprecedented move, the HoC volunteered by majority vote to suspend their legislative sittings to prevent the "unnecessary risk" of spreading COVID-19, on the 21st March 2020. Furthermore, before suspending the HoC, Representatives voted to enact a State of Emergency bill, placing the nation on a higher state of caution. It was reinstated on the 31st May 2020 by Premier benedict.<br />
<br />
Under the infamous '''Consolidation Act''' of the 8th November 2020, the [[Poplar Posadist and Pluto-Praising Party]] and [[Poplar Populist Party]] were merged into the [[Poplar Conservative Party]] and [[Poplar Republican Party]] respectively. This was in order to stabilise the nation following months of COVID-related lockdown and restrictions, and to spur the government into action.<br />
<br />
From the 19th March 2021, it was decided that a number of great reforms would take place. Firstly, the Hall of Constituencies would be renamed to Representative Hall (RH). On the 20th, the cabinet and government departments were formalised. The number of seats in RH were officially expanded from 5 to 11 on the 25th March 2021 - although legislated by a unanimous vote, this was to be added to an upcoming constitutional rewrite.<br />

==Foreign Relations==<br />
Poplar Nerva was a member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] for most of its existence, and regularly engaged and treaties, projects and opportunities between micronations.<br />

<br />
Premier Jack signed a Treaty of Mutual Cooperation with Otto Gillespie Birch of the [[Directive of Misberia]] on the 11th April 2020, ensuring both nations would enter into relations and do so respectfully. However, this ended on the 2nd June 2020, when Misberia ended recognition of Poplar Nerva following the events of the Second Essexian Civil War. Misberia was dissolved in 2021, and as such Poplar Nerva stopped recognition of Flavian Nerva.<br />
<br />
After the disappearance of [[Somcowian Federation|Somcow]] from the micronational community, the Republican government sought to alter Nerva's claim during November 2020. At the same time, Otto Gillespie Birch of Misberia sought to gain territory in the Nerva region as well. As such, negotiations were held on the 14th November 2020 to discuss the matter, and a new map was produced on the 15th by Premier Jack. Nerva regained it's previous capital, Ford Island, whilst Misberia gained the most southern and eastern islands under Flavian Nerva. Poplar Nerva also stopped recognising Somcow after these negotiations.<br />

Following an announcement by the Essexian [[CAe Systems]] regarding their progress on the JAFA Program,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://essexian.com/cae-systems-completes-phase-1-of-jafa-program/ | archiveurl = https://essexian.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = CAe Systems completes Phase 1 of JAFA Program |author = The Essexian}}</ref> the [[Secretary of the Defence Department (Poplar Nerva)|Defence Department Secretary]] [[Frank of Nerva|Rep. Frank]] announced Nerva's interest in procuring a single combat aircraft for display/air show purposes. However, Essexia is yet to respond to this request.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/25/poplar-nerva-interested-in-procuring-essexian-combat-aircraft/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/ | archivedate = 25 March 2021 |title = Poplar Nerva interested in procuring Essexian combat aircraft |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the 30/04/2021, and after some days of talks, Poplar Nerva signed a treaty of Mutual Recognition with the State of Vishwamitra. This is after both states having unilaterally recognised each other as part of the recognition of all GUM member states.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
The Government's stance had always been that they saw no situation where they would need any effective military, seeing as the micronation was an Island. Either it would be left to it's devices, or should another Nation or organisation seek to take it, any fight that Nerva would put up would be effectively useless and only prolong an unnecessary conflict. Therefore, only the Ceremonial Republican Navy existed. The CRN allowed Nerva to reap the rewards of an icon of strength and unity without having to invest in a useful show of force.<br />
<br />
It was limited to only practical vessels, and therefore only operated the CRNS Pacific, a 2-person sailing vessel capable of traversing coastal waters. It was introduced to the Poplar Navy prior to the creation of the CRN as a Dominion defence asset. However, it never sailed for the nation.<br />
<br />
CRN ships were stored and maintained by [[Paddocks Boat Co]], an Essexian ship-specialist company.<br />

==Culture==<br />
Nerva's prime culture outlet was ''<nowiki/>'The Nervan Guardian''' magazine, run as a cooperative venture by the [[Dean Network]]. It covered topics from both Nerva and the wider micronational community, roughly once a month. A website for the Nervan Guardian was finalised on the 19th March 2021.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/19/nervan-guardian-finally-reaches-out-online/ | archiveurl = https://nervanguardian.wordpress.com/2021/03/ | archivedate = 20 March 2021 |title = Headlines |author = Nervan Guardian}}</ref><br />
<br />
As a result of the Language Act 2020, Poplar Nerva rescinded recognition of any language other than English (United Kingdom) as an official language of the republic.<br />
==Geography==<br />
Poplar Nerva was located off the coast of North-Eastern California. It featured 11 constituencies which all administrated a number of islands.<br />
<br />
===Claims===<br />
Ford Island, originally Mecca Island when Nerva was an [[Dominions of Essexia|Essexian Dominion]], was named after Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford for her contribution to Essexia and, therefore, Nerva. It was the capital Island, and featured grassland on the East side, and sand and rocks on the West side. Rocks shielded the Island from oncoming waves. It briefly belonged to Somcow for most of 2020, but returned to Nerva after the 15th November 2020.<br />
<br />
The Northern Territory was comprised of Poplar Island, Edward Rock, William Rock, the Nord Islands and the Ost Islands. The latter of these two Islands were added as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021 on the 20th March 2021. Poplar Island was actually somewhat of two Islands, but for constituency simplicity they were named as one. They were mostly rocky but with some grass on the peaks.<br />
<br />
The Eastern Territory, named the New Purleigh Archipelago, was a semi-permanent area of rocks between Ford and Poplar Island. It was kept as a constituency as under Dominionship they had been considered so.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territory was the only full constituency that was added by the government following independence, but was briefly controlled by Misberia under Flavian Nerva. It was comprised of three areas; Brent Rock to the West (Named after British comedian David Brent, who had featured prominently in Essexian popular culture entertainment), Flavia Rock in the middle (named after the now-defuny Misberian 'Flavian Nerva', which briefly controlled the Southern Territory and Administrative Area Territory. Originally named Whittingdale Rock after Maldon Conservative MP John Whittingdale for his contributions to Essexian and Nervan development) and Cameron Rock in the East (After former British Prime Minister David Cameron for his historic influence on the people of Essexia).<br />
<br />
Between the Nervan area and the United States of America were 53 recognised pieces of landmass (Namely rocks) that Nerva wished not to claim due to proximity issues and a lack of necessity. Therefore, these comprised a large area between the two nations referred to as a Co-administrative Area, which was represented in the HoC but in the interests of continued cooperation with the US. They became a part of Flavian Nerva on the 15th November 2020, but were reintegrated as the Second Co-Administrative Area on the 20th March 2021 as a result of the New Land Area Act 2021.<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United. [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc/news/danbury-united-fc-setsup-nonprofit-merchandise-shop-2668558.html "DANBURY UNITED F.C. SETS-UP NON-PROFIT MERCHANDISE SHOP"]. Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<ref>The Essexian Post.

Archived from [http://79.124.7.49/ the original] on 13 August 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
The club shares a local rivalry with [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] due to their close geographical proximity. They also hold a historic rivalry with [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], who were formed around the same time immediately after United.<br />
<br />
During the 2022 season, the United players sung several chants of contempt at both Village and the Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
'''United remain the only team to have utilised a kit in the EPL.'''<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

The '''EssexiAir Premier League''' (sometimes referred to simply as the '''Premier League''', or the '''Essexian Premier League''') is the only football league in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It is sponsored by Essexia's national airline [[Essexiair|EssexiAir]], resulting in the competition's namesake. Local Essexian football teams compete for the title of EssexiAir Premier League Champion.<br />
<br />
Danbury United F.C. are the current EPL Champions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The EssexiAir Premier League was formed on the 17th February 2021 by [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]], who also created [[Danbury United F.C.]] as Essexia's first non-international football team to compete in the league. The league's inaugural games are set to take place later in 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions have been eased. [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]] was added on the 18th February, created by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia|Emperor Terry]]. [[F.C. United of Michael]] was founded and added to the league on the 25th February 2021, as the third league team. It was founded by [[Newton von Uberquie]]. Former First Minister Finn R formed [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] on the 2nd July 2021 in order to bolster the number of teams in the league, and add a competitive nature within Greater Danbury for which team citizens should support.<br />
<br />
===2022 League===<br />
Danbury United, Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village competed at the Old Cormorant Ground in Danbury. <br />
<br />
F.C. United of Michael were asked to not compete, in order to ensure there were enough players for all competing teams. Defender Matthew was moved on loan to Danbury Village AFC, whilst Fabio and Newton were unable to play. In addition, Ben S of Danbury United was loaned to Great Baddow Rovers to make up for their lack of players.<br />
<br />
Each team played each other once, making for three games in total. Danbury United won against both Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village, with Great Baddow Rovers losing both games and Danbury Village winning one.

== Rivalries ==<br />
There is a local rivalry between Danbury Village A.F.C. and Danbury United F.C. due to their close geographical proximity.<br />
<br />
A historic rivalry exists between Danbury United F.C. and Great Baddow Rovers F.C., who were both formed in February 2021 and saw each other as their primary competition. This can be seen in the chants that supporters of both teams sung towards each other during matches in contempt and to demoralise the other side's players.<br />
<br />
==Competition Format==<br />
In the 2022 league, 3 games were played to decide the winners of the league cup. Although originally 6 games were supposed to be played, the heat and subsequent exhaustion forced the managers to reduce this. In order to give players more playing time though, a longer Cup was played where two teams were formed of all the present players.<br />

==Sponsorship==<br />
The league is sponsored by [[Essexiair]], Essexia's national airline and one of the nation's most well known independent entities.<br />
<br />
Individual teams are allowed to be sponsored by private companies; [[CAe Systems]] and [[Paddocks Boat Co]] both sponser Danbury United, whilst [[Bearing420]] sponsors the Baddow Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Media Coverage==<br />
Media rights to broadcast the league games were granted exclusively to [[Dean Network]], who had planned to broadcast live coverage at the first games, possibly with commentary. Dean Network is also responsible for creating publicity for the league and releasing official news. Due to the short notice nature of the 2022 league, broadcasts were unable to be setup.<br />

The club was the first to reach the minimum number of players for the Premier League, on the 18th February 2021. <br />
<br />
In the 2022 season of the EPL, they finished 3rd in the league, behind [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Rovers were setup by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia]] on the 18th February 2021, following the formation of the [[EssexiAir Premier League]]. They were formed as first football team based in [[Greater Baddow]]. The Rovers were also the first team to reach the regulation minimum amount of 4 players.<br />
[[File:GBRFClogo.png|thumb|Original logo, designed by Terry on the 18th February 2021. It features two crowns, symbolic of the [[Emperors Residence]], and the outline of the Marconi Tower which is situated in [[Greater Baddow]].]]<br />
On 23/02/2021 the team gained its first sponsor, [[Bearing420]].<br />

<br />
The Rovers finished at the bottom of the table in the 2022 season of the EPL, with 0 points.<ref>The Essexian Post.

<br />
== Culture ==<br />
The club holds a rivalry against Danbury United, who were formed days prior to the Rovers.<br />
<br />
Rovers players were some of the most proactive in creating contemptful chants to sing against United during matches.<br />
<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United.

Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

<br />
== Culture ==<br />
The club shares a local rivalry with [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] due to their close geographical proximity. They also hold a historic rivalry with [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], who were formed around the same time immediately after United.<br />
<br />
During the 2022 season, the United players sung several chants of contempt at both Village and the Rovers.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

==Sponsors==<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United. [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc/news/danbury-united-fc-setsup-nonprofit-merchandise-shop-2668558.html "DANBURY UNITED F.C. SETS-UP NON-PROFIT MERCHANDISE SHOP"]. Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

<br />
===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<ref>The Essexian Post.

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United.

Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<ref>The Essexian Post.

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

The '''EssexiAir Premier League''' (sometimes referred to simply as the '''Premier League''', or the '''Essexian Premier League''') is the only football league in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It is sponsored by Essexia's national airline [[Essexiair|EssexiAir]], resulting in the competition's namesake. Local Essexian football teams compete for the title of EssexiAir Premier League Champion.<br />
<br />
Danbury United F.C. are the current EPL Champions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The EssexiAir Premier League was formed on the 17th February 2021 by [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]], who also created [[Danbury United F.C.]] as Essexia's first non-international football team to compete in the league. The league's inaugural games are set to take place later in 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions have been eased. [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]] was added on the 18th February, created by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia|Emperor Terry]]. [[F.C. United of Michael]] was founded and added to the league on the 25th February 2021, as the third league team. It was founded by [[Newton von Uberquie]]. Former First Minister Finn R formed [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] on the 2nd July 2021 in order to bolster the number of teams in the league, and add a competitive nature within Greater Danbury for which team citizens should support.<br />
<br />
===2022 League===<br />
Danbury United, Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village competed at the Old Cormorant Ground in Danbury. <br />
<br />
F.C. United of Michael were asked to not compete, in order to ensure there were enough players for all competing teams. Defender Matthew was moved on loan to Danbury Village AFC, whilst Fabio and Newton were unable to play. In addition, Ben S of Danbury United was loaned to Great Baddow Rovers to make up for their lack of players.<br />
<br />
Each team played each other once, making for three games in total. Danbury United won against both Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village, with Great Baddow Rovers losing both games and Danbury Village winning one. Danbury United were crowned League Cup Champions, and following this all present players organised into two teams to compete for the EPL Cup, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out with Team 2 winning.<ref>The Essexian Post.

==Competition Format==<br />
In the 2022 league, 3 games were played to decide the winners of the league cup. Although originally 6 games were supposed to be played, the heat and subsequent exhaustion forced the managers to reduce this. In order to give players more playing time though, a longer Cup was played where two teams were formed of all the present players.<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United. [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc/news/danbury-united-fc-setsup-nonprofit-merchandise-shop-2668558.html "DANBURY UNITED F.C. SETS-UP NON-PROFIT MERCHANDISE SHOP"]. Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />

Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

'''Danbury United Football Club''' (commonly referred to as '''Danbury United F.C''', '''Danbury United''' or '''Danbury F.C.''') is an Essexian professional football team based in [[Greater Danbury]]. They are the current [[EssexiAir Premier League]] Champions, after winning the 2022 season with 6 points.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The club was set up on the 17th February 2021 by Essexian MP [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]]. He envisioned a football league held domestically, and saw that clubs would need to be formed prior to any such event taking place. Named after the province that Jack resides in, Danbury United F.C. was Essexia's first non-international football club, and the first of any of Essexia's sports teams to have a custom uniform design.<br />
<br />
The team was formed the following day on the 18th February 2021, and included 3 ex-Essexia FC players. The club was the second to reach the minimum required players, after [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]], on the 18th February 2021.<br />
<br />
In mid 2021, a pitchero website was setup so that team news, photos and fixtures could be shared with fans as well as the league as a whole.<br />
<br />
A [https://www.redbubble.com/people/DanburyUnited/shop non-profit merchandise shop] was setup on the 8th December 2021 to allow fans to show support, but also so that the team could procure teamwear for affordable pricing.<ref>Danbury United.

Archived from [https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/danburyunitedfc the original] on 18 June 2022.</ref><br />
<br />
In early June 2022, the club sought to rebrand so as to have a more originally-sourced logo, and more links to the local community. After much discussion, a new roundel logo was created with a local church and oak tree in the centre, and the club shifted its colours from red, black and white to claret, blue and white.<ref>Danbury United.

<br />
===2022 EPL Season===<br />
DUFC won both of its games in the 2022 EssexiAir Premier League season, coming away with 6 points and subsequently being crowned EPL Champions. Attacking midfielder Matt G won the Golden Boot Award (League) for scoring 4 goals in the league games, and both him and fellow attacking midfielder Elliot B won the Golden Boot Award (All Comps) for both scoring 4 goals across all competitions in the season. Goalee and defensive midfielder Will F won the Best Manager award for his choosing and management of Team 2 in the EPL Cup game, and Elliot B won the Best Player award for his performance across all games of the 2022 season.<br />
<br />
==Players==<br />
There are currently 4 players; Will F, who previously played midfield for [[Essexia FC]]'s second game; Ben S, who previously played Midfield/Defence in Essexia FC's second game; James H; and Elliot B, who previously played Midfield/Defence for Essexia FC's first and second games. Elliot, who is often referred to as 'Steve', is considered Danbury's prized player for his long service in Essexia FC's international matches.<br />

==Kit==<br />
[[File:Danbury_Kit_Chart.png|alt=|thumb|The club's first kit, featuring the DUFC colours. It was never produced due to the complex design, but set a precedent for other clubs to design their own kits.]]<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
The first kit was designed on the 17th February 2021, and featured sleek lines and curves. The home kit was mainly red, with black shorts and some white trimming on the inside of the shorts. The away kit was the same but in inverted colours.<br />
<br />
The second kit was designed on the 6th December 2021 and was much simpler in comparison. The simplification was to allow for cheaper and simpler production costs. This would ensure all players could access the kit for an affordable price. The home kit was mainly white, with mid-length red sleeves. The away kit was black with short sleeves. The third kit (the first third kit ever designed for any Essexian football team) was red with short sleeves. Each shirt cost between £15-20, with the Away shirts costing more due to their being a dedicated active shirt material.<br />
<br />
The third kit, designated the 2022 kit, coincided with the club's rebranding. The home shirt was now an Umbro Spartan claret and blue teamwear shirt, with a transfer-applied club logo as well as an embroidered shirt-maker logo. This greatly increased the quality, durability and presentation of the kit. However, due to the higher costs involved with producing this new kit, there was no third shirt. For this kit, the club also adopted a black and white captain's armband over the left arm, produced by Adidas.<br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
Prior to the club's rebranding, the home kit would usually feature the colour red, whilst the away kit would feature black, as the main colours. After the rebranding, the home kit would be mostly claret, with sky blue accents. The away kit would be reversed. Any third kit would mostly feature white. The goalie has always worn the same kit as the team wears during matches.<br />

The '''EssexiAir Premier League''' (sometimes referred to simply as the '''Premier League''', or the '''Essexian Premier League''') is the only football league in the [[Commonwealth of Essexia]]. It is sponsored by Essexia's national airline [[Essexiair|EssexiAir]], resulting in the competition's namesake. Local Essexian football teams compete for the title of EssexiAir Premier League Champion.<br />
<br />
Danbury United F.C. are the current EPL Champions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The EssexiAir Premier League was formed on the 17th February 2021 by [[Jack D (Essexia)|Jack D]], who also created [[Danbury United F.C.]] as Essexia's first non-international football team to compete in the league. The league's inaugural games are set to take place later in 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions have been eased. [[Great Baddow Rovers F.C.]] was added on the 18th February, created by [[Emperor Terry of Essexia|Emperor Terry]]. [[F.C. United of Michael]] was founded and added to the league on the 25th February 2021, as the third league team. It was founded by [[Newton von Uberquie]]. Former First Minister Finn R formed [[Danbury Village A.F.C.]] on the 2nd July 2021 in order to bolster the number of teams in the league, and add a competitive nature within Greater Danbury for which team citizens should support.<br />
<br />
=== 2022 League ===<br />
Danbury United, Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village competed at the Old Cormorant Ground in Danbury. <br />
<br />
F.C. United of Michael were asked to not compete, in order to ensure there were enough players for all competing teams. Defender Matthew was moved on loan to Danbury Village AFC, whilst Fabio and Newton were unable to play. In addition, Ben S of Danbury United was loaned to Great Baddow Rovers to make up for their lack of players.<br />
<br />
each team played each other once, making for three games in total. Danbury United won against both Great Baddow Rovers and Danbury Village, with Great Baddow Rovers losing both games and Danbury Village winning one. Danbury United were crowned League Cup Champions, and following this all present players organised into two teams for a play-off, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out with Team 2 winning.<br />

==Competition Format==<br />
In the 2022 league, 3 games were played to decide the winners of the league cup. Although originally 6 games were supposed to be played, the heat and subsequent exhaustion forced the managers to reduce this. In order to give players more playing time though, a longer play-off was played where two teams were formed of all the present players.<br />
