History
The History of Zeprana can be traced back to 2021 in the Republic of Worrell and United Elarian Front.
Prehistory of Zeprana
Micronationalism was discovered by Matthew Cunningham, a founding father of the nation in the year 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic, when he founded the Empire of Runnymede which at the time was simply known as the Principality of Runnymede. Soon after its founding, Runnymede found itself embroiled in the LENS-Runnymede War with the League of Elarian Nations and the Micronational Assembly. Runnymede due to this conflict collapsed as a nation in late February 2021. Around this time, Terry McKeen III and Cunningham met one another, with Cunningham introducing McKeen to Charles Madgett, they soon all devised a plan to create a new Micronation and move on from the war. Zeprana was founded as a protectorate of Ela'r'oech on March 1, 2021. McKeen would become the President of the Commonwealth of Zeprana, with Matthew Cunningham serving as the first Prime Minister of Zeprana. The nation would develop over some time to be one of the largest realms of Ela'r'oech and the largest nation of the Rhode Island Sector and the New England Sector. Charles Madgett, Andrew Perdomo, and Terry McKeen III prominent Elarian Politicians at the time agreed to make Zeprana the Micronational Media Superpower. During this time, Madgett proposed purchasing the site, MicroWiki from Jonathan I, The Emperor of Austenasia with the idea quickly being shut down and never perused. However, Madgett did create an alternative to MicroWiki known as MicroVault. Plans to make Zeprana a media superpower within the Micronational Community continued, with Charles Madgett creating multiple apps and websites with his privately held company, ACBIC and the Ela'r'oech News Source. Zeprana also began to grow to become allies with the Republic of Worrell, with Terry McKeen becoming the President of Worrell in July 2021 with Matthew Cunningham, the Prime Minister of Zeprana being made the Vice President of Worrell. Zeprana would continue to develop and would eventuality form an alliance with the Republic of Worrell with several treaties being signed between the two. On June 12, 2021, Christoph Billung and Charles Madgett became the President and Vice President of the nation after winning the Worrellian Presidential Election, April 2021, beating Matthew Cunningham and Liam MacKenzie, the founders of the nation in the election. After Charles Madgett signed the Cosma Convention, a Convention ending the Alarian Wars which was a conflict that the Republic of Worrell was involved in. From here, Cunningham and MacKenzie who were the founders of the nation claimed voter fraud, forming the Peoples Republic of Worrell making appointing Terry McKeen III the leader of the President of Worrell denouncing Madgett's and Billings claims to the Presidency. Later, McKeen sided with Madgett making him the Chancellor of the nation, sparking the Worrellian Civil War sparking the collapse of the Republic of Worrell and the founding of Zeprana.
Foundation of Zeprana and First Elarian Era
The nation was originally founded with Charles Madgett serving as King of Ela'r'oech and Zeprana with Terry McKeen III serving as the Prime Minister, on October 8 however, Charles I&II announced that he would be abdicating the throne as King of Ela'r'oech. Christina Nowell was announced to become the Queen of Ela'r'oech with Bryce Smith as the new national Prime Minister. What followed was known as the Ela'r'oech Monarchy Power Dispute, from here Zeprana declared its Independence. After declaring Independence the nation soon found itself as a more powerful nation with its economy supporting a Growth Domestic Product of nearly $988,382 United States Dollars, one higher than nearly all Micronations and even higher than some Macronations, the nation also soon began to gain ties with other Micronations such as the Kingdom of Pontunia, Most Serene Republic of Richensland, and the Tsardom of Begon, Zeprana also become a full member state of the Micronational Assembly and went onto form the Global Micronational Union. The Republic of Zeprana was originally founded as a Constituent state of the Kingdom of Ela'r'oech up until the Ela'r'oech Monarchy Power Dispute when Madgett v. Ela'r'oech court battle commenced and when Charles Madgett and Christina Nowell found themselves fighting for the nation. Eventually the nation split into two sides, with one side wishing to join CHASM and the Three Houses with the other half wanting to join Cycoldian Imperium, Terry McKeen III and Aniq Sufyan had made good friends with each other. After seeing the Cycoldian involvement in Richensland, McKeen and much of Parliament began to take the side of Charles, from here Christina pushed for a Vote of No Confidence against Terry McKeen, with McKeen and the Prime Minister of Neo-Alaria threatening to secede from Ela'r'oech. Neo-Alaria soon became a part of Ela'r'oech however Zeprana did not with it gaining allies with nations such as the Most Serene Republic of Richensland, and the Republic of Molossia. The nation also gained informal ties with nations such as the Republic of Liberland and the Tsardom of Begon. The nation also became a full member state of the Micronational Assembly, League of Independent Nations it also went on to form the Global Micronational Federation. Zeprana soon found itself with conflict with Almendria, after a round of idle threats from Almendria and negotiations starting, Almendria eventually made peace with Zeprana. The nation began to grow and Charles Madgett wished to have authority over Zeprana once again. McKeen announced that Zeprana would become the Dominion of Zeprana under the rule of Charles Madgett, the attempt to cede Zeprana into Ela'r'oech once again failed. Soon after the nation began to re-build and become more stable with Matthew Cunningham and Charles Madgett assuming the roles of Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister respectively.
Modern Era - Worker's Era

Later after the Free Federal Republic of Zeprana founded on September 11 to Liberate what Matthew Cunningham had started, soon after it founded the Temporary president Theodore Adam Zopf Von Neuhessen treated the Federal Republic too much as a State more than a Republic so he was voted out and the Prime minister Micheal Langley Older brother of Elizabeth Snowie Langley toke charge.
