Weather

The weather in Alkanuit can vary as Alkanuit has territories in the American state of Florida, as well as Rhode Island, so while it may be warm in one area of Alkanuit, it may be cold in another.

Territory

Alkanuit has 3 main territories, but claims all of the east coast of the United States. Since Alkanuit has territories in both Florida and Rhode Island, Alkanuit's territories in Florida are considered the Capital Region.

Etymology

The name Alkanuit comes from the combinations of former fantasy nations: Alka and Gafenuit. It is unknown how Alka came to be, but Gafenuit came from a misspelling of the words "Gave a note" and after that, a new micronation was born, then they united after a conflict.

History

2020 Alkanese-Gafenuitian Conflict

On March 16th, 2020, Alka invaded Gafenuit. The conflict lasted until the peace treaty which happened on November 22nd, 2021, which united the two. The conflict was easily started simply because the leaders of the countries easily argued all the time. The excuse that Alka gave for invading Gafenuit was that Gafenuit had Alkanese people in it, so they belong to Alka. Gafenuit needed to defend against Alka, so they quickly gathered an army of 1 person. This was the same number of people in the army in Alka, so it seemed that they had a chance. Alka's army, however, was trained for a long time, so they easily and quickly beat Gafenuit. Gafenuit was prepared for their strategy, so they decided to act quick and put up defences. Gafenuit fought back bravely and countered their attacks. The conflict concluded with a peace treaty.

The history of Alkanuit goes much further than just their independence. As the etymology section established, Alkanuit came from 2 fantasy nations: Alka, and Gafenuit.

Independence

They combined for peace after the 2020 Alkanese-Gafenuitian conflict. The war lasted a year until November 22, 2021. This was when the Declaration of Independence was written, as well as the Constitution and the Peace Treaty between the 2 former nations. This was when Gafenuit was in destruction and Gafenuit had to retreat their forces from Alka.

Christland as capital city

The new capital for the nation was at first, undecided. They wanted a place that hasn't been affected by the conflict as much as others, and the former capitals wouldn't work for Alkanuit. They then decided on Christland because Christland is a small town that wasn't affected by the conflict.

False planetary claims

Alka had claims on planets in the solar system, so after the unification, Alkanuit still had those claims. Gafenuit had also had claims on planets in the solar system, so that became disputed. On January 23rd, 2022, the 2 had completely come to a conclusion to this dispute as the 2 provinces couldn't fight; they are now the same country. This means that they had to come to an agreement, and so they did. They would divide each planet that they had claimed in halves, one for Gafenuit's province and one for Alka's province. For both of them, they thought that this was the perfect solution because they would have the same planetary land area. After which, these claims were removed.
