Freblick is a micronation, which idea was presented in 2012, however it wasn't active until 2013. While most of its citizens came from the World Wide Web, country had lots of claimed lands in Russia and several embassies in countries like United Kingdom, Georgia and Croatia. Due to inactivity of the President in 2016 most of the regions announced exiting from Freblick, which made country almost defunct for two years before Solnechnogorsk Purchase in 2018, which gave Freblick territory.
Name ""Freblick"" consists of words "friend" and "republic". In 2016, as the country basically became a constitutional monarchy after the reign of Alexandr I, the name of Freblick became an oxymoron as it stopped being a republic, but it was to chosen to stick with the name for its historic and cultural value for freblickans.
History
2012
The country Freblick was a project of Eugene Smagin, who used the name of this mictonation to take part in several sporting events, declaring independence from Russia. Despite this activity, country wasn't active and didn't have a lot of characteristics of a micronation.
2013
The true founding year of Freblick as it has gathered new lands and attracted new citizens with a peak of 30. However, it took a whole year to create basic institutions of country, which meant that Freblick was de-facto a dictatorship as all of the power was in the hands of its founder. Freblick also took part in a brief war with another rising russian-based micronation — Repol, which resulted in a flawless victory and destruction of Repol.
2014
In 2014, Freblick held its first presidential election, which saw a triumph of Eugene Smagin, who recieved 70% of the votes, as well as parliamentary election, where president's party Subortus Party for 5 out of 6 seats in the parliament with the result of 75%. This year was the most active for the country as it signed several intermicronational treaties, started its own social media account and first appeared on the Micronations Wiki.
Crisis of 2015-2017
Soon after the elections, leader of a country quickly lost interest to it and for two years the country was de-facto defunct. In 2016, due to a long internship, Eugene Smagin decided to change the country into the constitutional monarchy, making his relative Alexandr I the first king of Freblick and leaving vice-president Pavel Ponomarev as a first Prime Minister. While this move was anti-constitutional, it saw the support from the leading Subortus Party, which was pro-monarchy since its founding. However, most of the regions, including the largest city aglommeration Freblick-on-Don and several embassies refused to accept this coup and left Freblick. During all of this, Eugene Smagin led Freblickan army during the Ryabosnian-Smagford War, which, after a year of intense battles resulted in the liberation of Smagford, but didn't bring any profit to Freblick.
2018
In 2018 Freblick lost almost all of its territory and the capital, FreblickTown, was under the threat of disappearing. In the summer of 2018 kind Alexandr I has held a series of international meetings and gathered a new piece of land for Freblick, which, with the ruins of once thriving SunRegion formed Freblick D.C., which became a new capital.
2020

Second party of the government, which held 1 of 6 seats, National Steamers also agreed to take part in the elections, despite not believing in Freblick's future. Right after that the third party emerged from Central Region, which was called Thorny Way, lead by political activist Carlos, who was believed to be dead.
Politics
King
The leader of state is the king Alexandr I, who was appointed at this position by then-ruling president of Freblick, starting a new line of monarchs with Queen Valentina I being the next in line.

Seats
While technically there are only 6 seats to be distributed after the elections, President (2014-2016) and Prime Minister (2016-) have the same set of functions as other MPs, including a right to vote in the Parliament, so they are also considered to be MPs.
