The Commonwealth of Archmidian, commonly referred to as Archmidian, was an independent nation located in the Southeastern United States and a member of the Nollandish Confederacy. It was founded as the Archmidian Realm on 30 September 2014.
Etymology
Archmidian is a derivative of Archmidias, the nation's founder and ruler. King Archmidias' name was inspired by the name of an ancient Greek inventor, Archimedes, and Arachne, a character in ancient Greek mythology.
History
Early history
On 1 January 2012, the first precursor to the Commonwealth of Archmidian, Zacharia, was founded by a small group of friends. Over the next year, several other micronations were formed, and much like the ancient Greek city-states, began to wage war on each other. When New America, another nation, joined the MicroWiki community and the Eran Federation, the violence began to spill over. After Situation America, the nations collapsed and did not return to micronationalism until 2014.
Recent history
The first precursor to modern Archmidian, the Archmidian Realm, was founded on 30 September 2014, by Archmidias d'Archmid. He established diplomatic relations with two other micronations, and submitted an application to join the Tsardom of Nolland as a state. Not long after, on 6 October 2014 Archmidian was admitted to Nolland and the nation was reorganized as the Kingdom of Archmidian. Months passed, and the Kingdom fell into inactivity. Then, almost a year later, on 23 September 2015, Archmidian seceded from Nolland and entered talks to join the Nollandish Confederacy. The Kingdom was admitted to the Confederacy a short while later. Archmidian then experienced rapid population growth, gaining 4 new citizens. On 29 October 2015, Archmidias reformed the nation into the Commonwealth of Archmidian and established the Council of Nobles, a special body for appropriating land grants.
