History
In the months before January 8, 2007 there were two small kingdoms, the Kingdom of Delorian, and the Kingdom of Cavers. They were ruled by King Zachary I and King Joshua II respectivly. The two kings who were brothers were often wanting more lands for their kingdom, and that meant that there was a threat of hostle takeover by the other. So in order to eleminate the threat of war the two brothers decided to sign the Treaty of Marume on January 1 signed in Marume in Cavers. This treaty stated that the two micronations were allies and that they would remain separate states under a intermicronational organization called the South Deloraine Alliance. The two leaders agreed that the two micronations would be better as one, so they drafted the Constitution of the Empire of Deloraine-Cavers to create the micronation now known today, which was signed on January 8, 2007. On January 14 the Treaty of Morton was signed at the Deloraine School, to bring a new province into the empire, it was to be called the Royal Province of Vanbeleland. It was signed by Kaiser Joshua II, Kaiser Zachary I, and now Governor Aaron of Vanbeseland.
