Edwin is the capital of Arkadelphia. It houses the current prime minister Joseph Hackley. It became a part of the nation when Arkadelphia was founded. Originally, it was named Robinson but was later changed. Some important parts of the city are unique to the city, such as the first park and the first road.
Etymology
Edwin is composed of the elements "ead 'prosperity'", 'fortune' + wine 'friend'. It was chosen due to a streak of luck inside the micronational community at the time, and due to where Edwin now stands, being a part of "wine country" due to French heritage in the surrounding area.
History
Premicronationalism
The early days of Edwin are mostly unknown. From September 2009 until July 29, 2020, it was a part of the state of Arkansas. Sometime in June to July 2020, the current prime minister Joseph H. started to fiddle around with the Arkansas state flag trying to make a redesign of it. With its completion sparked the idea of the nation and is currently the flag of the nation and the city/province of Edwin.
Early days
Most of the early days of Edwin was mostly as the base of operations for the nation, but through this base came several diplomatic allies throughout the world, from as close as inside the state to as far away as central Asia. One important benchmark in Edwin's history during this time was its cooperation with other micro-nations in the Ozark region states, with it being held as the base for Arkadelphian operations within the Association of Ozark Micro-Nations (AOMN).
Expansion era/Current day
In the current day, a few new additions to the city have been made, including two parks located to the northwest and southeast respectively. In this era came the first lease of land from the city of 0.5 km2 by the Primorskii Imperial Government. This deal will last until September 16, 2022.
Culture
All citizens that live in Edwin follow an American/European culture with heavy ties to Ireland, England, the Netherlands, and Poland.
Administration
The current representatives of Edwin is Emma H. and Joseph H. with him also being current prime minister of the Republic of Arkadelphia.
