The Acrovskan Kingdom

The Acrovskan Kingdom (also known officially as the Kingdom of Acrasia-Ksovski) is a semi-autocratic nation run by Kaiseren Kuneg @Commodore_Kebab (Emperor of Kings in the Crasian language). Kebab believes in Crasian Christianity, a custom denomination made by himself. The nation is 75% Christian with a the remaining population being interested in converting to Christianity

The Holy Rooman Empire

The Holy Rooman flag takes evident inspiration from the HRE and Byzantine Empires

On the 4rth of March 2023, pigeon eggs were discovered on the balcony of @Commodore_Kebab’s house. Kebab greatly wanted to destroy these eggs, as his mother had banned his cats from visiting the balcony. This decision did not sit well with Kebab’s younger brother, who proclaimed the pigeons were under his protection. Later that day, Kebab seceded his room from the rest of the house and indirectly the Republic of India. In reaction, Kebab’s younger brother declared another micronation which’s name has been lost to time. Tensions began to heat up, however both sides knew the other would never surrender. Hence a mere thirteen days later, a revolution rocked the empire and the U.R.A was founded in its ashes.

The United Republics of Acrasia

After the 17th of March revolutionaries disbanded the HRE. They also managed to unite the entire house, a feat the HRE could not do. The URA's first major undertaking was to divide its territories into separate sub-republics. Each republic was intended to lead part of the nation's industry. Chief among these was the Sukiyoko People's Republic. Sukiyoko was a crowded storage room that was mostly abandoned and seemingly haunted. However the URA believed they would be able to farm potatoes on Sukiyoko's balcony. For this they attempted to have agricultural instructors from neighbouring nations teach them how to plant potatoes on their balcony. However despite their investment, no other words were hence heard from the instructor and the URA Agricultural Department was left with nothing but disappointment and shame.

The First Sand War

The First Sand war (alternatively known as the The Hundenstien War) took place on the 5th of March 2023 between the Kshadian Army and the Acrasian Blue Army. Prior to the HRE and URA's founding, a dog had resided in Acrasia. Being a dog had to be walked and for this, the family's car parking was re-organised into the Grand duchy of Hundenstein. Kshadia itself had also been founded by Commodore_Kebab, his brother and friend, however Kshadia was a mere shell of it's former self especially after the creation of the HRE. While Kshadia begrudgingly accepted the existence of the HRE, a dispute over Hundenstien eventually arose and on March 5th, Kshadian Regulars ambushed The 1st Kallenberg Grenadiers and the 2nd Hundenstien Rangers near the local sandpit. Both Regiments were harassed as they retreated to fortified positions. Little did they know, Kshadian hired mercenaries were advancing towards their positions from behind. At last the decision was made fort the Hundenstien Rangers to hold off the attackers and allow the Kallenberg Grenadiers to retreat. The Grenadiers retreated successfully with the Kshadians hot on their heels. However the Kshadian regulars and their mercenary companions quickly lost communications with each other, isolating themselves dangerously close to URA supply depots. Now armed with cricket bats, both the Rangers and the Grenadiers converged on the isolated Kshadian regulars, who quickly surrendered there after. The war ended with the Kshadians accepting the terms including:

(1) Kshadian Forces will retreat from Hundenstien and ALL territories beyond the Kshadian leader's house

(2) Kshadia must renounce all claims to Hundenstien

(3) Acrasia will briefly occupy the Sandpit

(4) Kshadia must pay indemnities of three sandcastle's weight.

The Second Sand War

The humiliating terms of the First Sand War had left many Kshadians upset and dissatisfied with their governments failings, causing massive protests to re-start the war. The next day the Kshadian government caved in to these demands and once again ambushed the URA regiments. Commodore_Kebab immediately ordered both the Kallenberg Grenadiers and the Hundenstien Rangers to retreat at once. However as they were armed with bats, the rangers grew overconfident and charged the Kshadians and their mercenaries. Kebab's brother was temporarily blinded by the amount of sand the Kshadians threw at him, forcing Kebab to lead the Grenadiers in a death-charge to save the trapped rangers. Though the Hundenstien Rangers were rescued before further disaster, the Acrasian Blue army had to retreat. Kebab managed to bring his forces back to Hundenstien, whom were quickly spotted by the kshadians who picked up handfuls of sand and march towards the URA positions. However the Blue army had secured powdered cement, a weapon far more painful to the eye than any sand. The kshadians drew close and threw their sand and were immediately met with powdered concrete flying towards them. Without getting further into details, the Kshadians surrendered and Status quo ante bellum was imposed.

The Collapse of the URA

Despite the strategic victory in the Second Sand War, the humiliating defeat at the sandpit was not forgotten by the public. Unease was felt cross the URA in the war's wake. Meanwhile in the Sukiyoko People's Republic, pigeons once again occupied the balconies. Kebab wanted to kill the pigeons, however his brother once again stood to protect them. This triggered a constitutional crisis which effectively paralysed the nation.

The Cyborian Insurgency

In the middle of the URA's political crisis, the inhabitants of the southern Lengar SSR grew discontent both with the communists and with the Acrasian elite. On September 24th they took up arms and march on Kallenberg and Thelonia in what went on to be called the Cyborian Putsch. However the 1st Jager Guard (re-organised elements of the Kallenberg Grenadiers) met them in battle and soundly defeated them.The Jager guard then waged a coup de etat against the Communist government and the URA was finally disbanded.

The Acrasian Federation

After dissolving the URA, Kebab declared the foundation of the Acrasian Federation. Kebab was declared President and assigned his cat Tipu as Prime Minister and his Aunt Mewki as Viceroy of Hundenstien. However as Kebab increased his influence, he discarded the Parliamentary system of democracy and replaced it with a Roman-esque Consular system, featuring himself as Princeps and his cats as co-consuls. Kshadian diplomats also visited Kebab and offered to form a confederation under Acrasia's lead. The United Federations of Acrasia and Kshadia lasted from late December to the 19th of January, when at long last the Kshadians seceded again. Shortly later the Ksovski grant (consisting of the old Cyborian territories) ceded, founding the republic of Karkia.

Pancakistan

The flag is really just Bavaria with a darker blue and a copyright-free image of pancakes

Pronounced Pankakistan, Pancakistan was an Acrasian rump state. It was run via a republican democracy and was often involved in great border tension with Karkia. Eventually both Pancakistan and Karkia set aside their differences when they fought off a Kshadian invasion of Hundenstien together. After the battle both nations united into the Kingdom of Acrasia-Ksovski.

The Kingdom of Acrasia-Kosvski

The Kingdom of Acrasia-Ksovski came into effect in February of 2024. It is run in an autocratic manner, with power divided between the King (Kebab) and the Erstwhile Duke of Ksovski (his esteemed brother). The Kingdom of Acrasia-Kosvski also claims to be the "Fourth and final Rome" This claim is based on the theory that almost all people with some Western European ancestry are related to Charlemagne. This works out for Kebab and his brother as (despite being Indian) they had a grandmother (on their Mother's side) who was part Irish and part American (her American side of the family had arrived in New England prior to 1775, hence of English or Anglo-Norman descent). Some historians even claim that Charlemagne was related to Syragius Afrianus, the ruler of Soissons and last Western Roman standing. Other historians trace Syragius' ancestry all the way to Constantine's brother. While some of these theories are somewhat dubious if they were to be true, millions of people would have a claim on the Roman empire and among them, would be Kebab and his brother.
