Duvall, officially the Federated States of Duvall, or sometimes improperly referred to as Duvallestine or Duvallestein is a micronation in North America. It was established on 22 December 2023 and considers itself to be the successor state to the State of Thejistan, which was dissolved a day prior on 21 December 2023 by its President, Waqiy ibn Ayatch al-Narjid, who is also the incumbent President of Duvall.
The country is currently facing the aftermath of a minor schism that occurred due to a breach of a government official's Discord account by a user who overthrew the state government of Hamburgeflorosapiarsex and attempted to do the same to the state government of Crag, before being stopped as the government official had regained access to their account and then reformed Hamburgeflorosapiarsex into Barbequebaconburgerflorosapiarhypersex.
It is made up of two major administrative divisions, the State of Crag, and Barbequebaconburgerflorosapiarhypersex. The nation is situated on the border of the U.S. states of Virginia and West Virginia, retaining the old borders of Thejistan, including the Atlantic Ocean territory of Bolsaak.
History
Founding myth
According to a text file dated 2015 in the possession of Gemini Alzirr, a prominent figure in Duvallestinian politics, a great war once took place between the forces of good and evil, the former represented by Markiplier, and the latter represented by Shrek. Upon the rediscovery of this text, Markiplier has since been regarded as the founder of the Market-Federalists, the oldest political faction Duvall can trace its origins to.
Historical foundation
Duvall's President cites the reason he founded the micronation being that its predecessor state, Thejistan, was facing a period of stagnation and had already been stained with a bad image through such operations such as Thejistan having first claimed Bir Tawil before relocating to Duvall's current location, and namely Operation Pitchfork. Thejistan was officially dissolved on 21 December 2023 and Duvall founded the next day under a revised version of the Thejistani constitution which had been modified to replace all mentions of Thejistan to Duvall, along with some miscellaneous changes.

On 12 February 2024, al-Narjid was representing Duvall to an online convention orchestrated by the Global Oceanic Cooperation Organization concerning Duvall's ascension to the organization. Shortly after Duvall was officially admitted, it was made apparent that the leader of Hamburgeflorosapiarsex's account had been breached by a user only known under the self-designated alias of Captain K'Nuckles. This was declared a hostile takeover of a state government and al-Narjid immediately launched negotiations. The members present at the GOCO convention, the Minister of Kra, and K'Nuckles, would be invited to a voice chat by al-Narjid to discuss such negotiations. Al-Narjid proceeded to start streaming a map of Duvall's administrative divisions and would begin making changes to it and repeatedly asked K'Nuckles if it would be enough to step down from his takeover and return access of the account. Perceptual borders of the state of Crag continued to shrink before K'Nuckles ceased to speak and the leader of Hamburgeflorosapiarsex returned to their account.
The conflict lasted less than an hour and is often compared to the 2023 Bedrocian coup of Thejistan, in which the leader of Hamburgersex's account was breached by a user under the alias of Fred Flinstone who attempted to take over the entire Thejistani government through power in Hamburgersex.
