Origin

The Free States of Tinakula was created after a peace agreement between The Communist Baffin and The DRBSI. The Baffin RAJ decided to let go of its claim of The Baffin Republic and Skokholm. The DRBSI let go of it's claim of it's pocket of territory in Sutton (not the same territory as the Tinakulan & The Baffin RAJ one).

On the 13th of October, Rohan McCauley, leader of the DRSBI, decided to cut relations between Socialist Tinakula and his nation, he though of Socialist Tinakula as a threat. Prime Executive of the Free States of Tinakula made a statement on this decision, "The Baffin Republic has no future under that far right wing leader, I was committed to strengthen the foreign relations between the two, the last thing I wanted was for Rohan McCauley to call the Free States of Tinakula a threat. Lawrence Martin of the liberal party was a better leader. This needs to resolve."

On the 21st of October, Free States of Tinakula decided to establish relations with the Republic of Aridale, and a day later, on the 22nd of October, the Free States of Tinakula started relations with the Kingdom of Wellmoore.

On the 27th of October, Afra decided to cut relations with Ambestan, due to the Micronations craziness and instability, Afra thought a relationship with that micronation would not be appropriate. The leader of Socialist Tinakula also expelled four citizens of Tinakula, most who were citizens of Ambestan, for trying to destroy and violate the rules of the Free States of Tinakula.

Territories

On the 29th of September, The Communist Republic of Baffin retracted its claim of The Baffin Islands & Skokholm, and become The Free States of Tinakula. The territories which weren't retracted (Tinakula, Mc Cluer, Sutton territory and Tadworth territory), became the original and founding states of The Socialist Tinakula.

Afterwards, The RAJ decided to end the dictatorship ruled micronation and turn it into a socialist state aiming to achieve a state of social democracy.

On the 2nd of October Afra reluctantly claimed Emananus Island from Papua New Guinea. He stated "I could not find reported life there, but I'm still unsure, I seems to be very unkown, I'll claim it". Since claiming ownership of this island, Socialist Tinakula is now larger than Nauru.

On the 4th October, Afra found out that Mc Cluer Island and the other islands in the Crook Group, were freehold territory with international significance. Afra J retracted his false claim of Mc Cluer Island and shortly afterwards he claimed Dau Ac island from New Caledonia. He changed the name from Dau Ac, to Nord Island. The area of Socialist Tinakula had decreased from 24.4 km² to 18.12 km².

On the 5th of October, Afra claimed Vuaqava from Fiji, Vuaqava is an uninhabited island, but is visited by fishermen. Vuaqava is 8.4 km², since the claiming or Vuaqava, the area of The Free States of Tinakula is 26.52 km².

On the 24th of October, Afra decided to go multi-continental and claimed land in South America. He claimed Isla Ipun, Isla Paz and Isla Liebre from the southern part of Chile. Those three islands were renamed to West Santa Cruz which became an autonomous region (with it's own flag) of the Free States of Tinakula. The biggest island of West Santa Cruz is four times bigger than the land Socialist Tinakula previously claimed. The area of Free States of Tinakula has now increased to 130.52 km².

Two days later, on the 26th October, Afra claimed Península Betbeder from the Chubut Province of Argentina. This peninsula connects to the mainland, this makes Tinakula officially border the UK and Argentina by land. The area claimed was 9.45 km² and Península Betbeder was renamed to North Ushuaia and became another autonomous region of the Free States of Tinakula.

On the 27th of October, Afra claimed a pocket of land in Istanbul, Turkey. This area is strictly not shown for privacy reasons.

On the 28th of October, Afra claimed Lady Douglas Island from British Columbia, Canada. Lady Douglas island become an autonomous region of the Free States of Tinakula as was renamed to North Vancouver. The island is 18.04 km². The island shares a very small border (0.1 km) with Canada.

On the same day, the 28th of October, Afra J claimed an unnamed island from Greenland which was surrounded by an ice shelf, he named the island New Dusk. The area of New Dusk is 217.58 km².

On the 22nd November, West Santa Cruz and North Ushuaia gained independence (peacefully) and became the Krucane Confederation (which joined Luchijan). A day later, the Prime Executive gave up all other autonomous regions and claimed these islands instead: Leneu Island, Magdalena, Makalom, Mborokua, South Byrd, The Guyam Islands (made of Ibahos and Guyam), Tokū Island, Funualei (which became a part of Vuaqava). New Bosphorus still remained in Tinakula and became part of the state called "Sutton Provinces & New Bosphorous". Desecheo Island became a state of Tinakula at the 21st of December, when Francisnia became part of Tinakula.

The size of the Free States of Tinakula has changed significantly.

On the 27th of December, the Grassholm region of the DRSBI became a shared state between Tinakula and the DRSBI.

Crisises

October Crisis - 15th - 16th October 2020: Matt Turner & Rohan McCauley, who were the previous deputy and leader of the DRSBI, decide to make a law to ban Tinakulan-Baffic dual citizens, roughly half of the Tinakulan population decide to leave Tinakulan and solely become Baffic citizens. Tinakula is in a population crisis and plans to join with the Anuan Federation or the other members of the Oceanic Micronations Association (which later became the NPTASA). New Polynesia offers, but Tinakula politely declines, as it's population increases again, dramatically, once they set up a discord server.

Vortex Raids - November 4th 2020: On November the 4th 2020, the Free States of Tinakula discord server was flooded by gory images. Afra did not witness the images himself, but others in the discord server did and reported to the leader and Discord. Desslok screen screenshotted the images to use as evidence against Vortex. Vortex was the group which was known to have flooded these images and it wasn't only Tinakula affected but the discord servers of Luchijan, Kirael and other micronations. The Tinakula discord server was fixed again on the same day.

Since then, bots have been added to protect the discord server.

The Controversial Firing - 22nd - 23rd November 2020: During the voting in Tinakula, Afra decides to slightly change his cabinet, he decides to request Al Nuttuere to resign due to his lack of presence in Tinakulan Government and server. Al Nuttuere is outraged by this and decides to message this, expressing his opinions, on the Tinakulan discord server. The Prime Executive censors the messages, he mentions he wanted to talk about it privately and to make the situation peaceful. Al Nuttuere, who is also chairman of the LIN, decides to share this. reporting Tinakula as an undemocratic nation, and it should be checked on. Al Nuttuere describes Tinakula as an undemocratic nations (he also finds the Liberation Party), the Prime Executive denies those allegations.

December Crisis - 4th December 2020 - 10th December 2020: Very shortly after the election, a citizen requested a poll of no-confidence. Lawrence Martin, the incumbent Director of Democracy, agreed. The Prime Executive argues that the poll of made very soon after the election and in an unpeaceful way. The Prime Executive further criticises the poll by being biased, he accused Martin for only convincing the people who were against the leader to vote, and making the deadline incredibly short, the situation and lack of time made it difficult for most citizens of Tinakula to get a chance to vote in the poll. The leader did not recognise the poll and on December 6 the Prime Executive created his own poll, with a longer deadline, against the office of Democracy, which ends on December 10, where he hopes that the December crisis will end.

December Turmoil - 7th December 2020 - 23rd December 2020: Tinakula was in turmoil - many Tinakulans were removed from the discord server and the active population had significantly reduced. The official population of Tinakula had also decreased by over 10. When the Prime Executive admitted most of his corruption allegations and when some of the people who were banned, had their ban lifted - people started coming back to Tinakula. However, the Prime Executive described some of those against him as immature and mentioned how the other side was trying to destroy or destabilise Tinakula. Tinakula was recovering quickly on December 10 and had recovered the day after that, however the turmoil was only announced as over, by the Prime Executive, at the 23rd of December, when the election results came out.
