Auvenum was dissolved on 1 January 2020 and was returned fully to the United States, then was claimed by both the Kingdom of Bepistan and Fifth Aenderian Republic.[1] | |||||||||||||||
The Kingdom of Auvenum was a constitutional monarchy and nanonation which seceded from the Fifth Aenderian Republic on 6 October 2018. Auvenum's head of state was the Prince and the Parliament had a Prime Minister up until the Auvenese Crisis, which led to the permanent closure of the Parliament. The only leader of Auvenum was Prince Calvin White I. On 7 July 2019, Auvenum became an absolute monarchy. On 1 January 2020, the Prince called for the country's dissolution and that all territories be returned to their respective macronations. On the first day of 2020, the Kingdom of Auvenum ceased to exist as a micronational entity.
Etymology
The name "Auvenum" has no real meaning. The country's founder chose the name. The term "Auvenum" was later discovered to loosely translate to "Auve nu" in Romanian, despite the fact Auvenum never had any Romanian attributes. Yet, White felt satisfied with the translation and believed it resonated with the creation of Auvenum, claiming that it well represented Auvenum's secession from Aenderia due to injustice by the Aenderian government towards White, with White reportedly saying:
"...it best fits Auvenum's description because it represents the separation from Aenderia and its separation when Aenderia was overstepping their boundaries."
— Calvin White, 2018
History and Education
In mid-to-late 2019, the Auvenese Prince Calvin White drafted plans to introduce an education system into Auvenum. The education system was intended to teach Auvenese citizens about the history of Auvenum.
In October 2019, the monarchy announced that it would open up its state-funded university: "Jyilzyem University." However, not much interest was generated in Jyilzyem University and the announcement came during Auvenum's growing inactivity. Accordingly, plans to create the educational institution were never seen through and the nation later dissolved on 1 January 2020.

Auvenum never functioning economy. The Auvenese currency was never minted or circulated and the Kingdom of Auvenum never accumulated any actual wealth. No production had taken place in Auvenum, which means that Auvenum had a GDP of $0 and a GDP per capita of $0.
For many years, it was said that Auvenum had "several businesses" and thrived off a substantial agriculture and fishing industry, although no such industries existed. Auvenum also "exported goods" and was rumored to have run a line of cafés serving hot beverages as well as many types of baked goods. No such café had ever managed to open up in Auvenum and the concept faded into obscurity.
Auvenum was only know for its NGOs, such as the ICON Cover Competition Broadcasting Committee (ICCBC) and the Intermicronational Broadcast Organzization (IBO).
Entertainment
In June 2019, a state-sponsored initiative by the royal crown and the LPA (Liberal Party of Auvenum) was launched to reform Auvenum into a cultural center. The first steps began when Auvenum had announced their entry into Microvision 2019, but later retracted due to political reasons. Later on, Auvenum would announce their return to the ICON Cover Competition, but the competition was never held after being postponed multiple times and ICON never held the second annual competition. ICON had not officially dissolved as a competition, but had become defunct.
Military
The Kingdom of Auvenum had only one branch of military but was said to have created more in the future.
The military occupied 3 fictional forts in Auvenum. One of them was located on Kamuda Peninsula (previously named Huj Island,) which shared a border to the west with the Principality of Duke, named Jahzir Allah (Arabic for Isle of God). Jazhir Allah was governed by Calvin White and was visited by Tom Kap during Tom Kap's trip to the Kamuda Peninsula.
The two other “bases” are claimed to have been located in the "Robertson Sea Chain," named after the official name for the islands in Antarctica.
After the secession of Kivaria, Auvenum was “left” with two of its islands, "Voka" and "Kinatoure."
Kirina was the “largest city” and capital of Kinatoure. Kinatoure also housed the fictional military base “Fort Mullins”, named after the lawyer who helped White win the trial against voter fraud in September 2018, and the former Attorney General of Auvenum.
The island of "Voka" housed “Fort White”, the fictional military base named after the first Prince, Calvin White.

Kir Islands
The Kir Islands were divided into 5 islands, 3 of which have recently been reclaimed from the Kingdom of Kivaria. Two of those islands, Kinatoure and Voka, are the main ones with constituencies implemented into regions. The island of Jir was annexed by Cloverzem but was given to Bepistan towards the end of Cloverzem's reign. The other two islands are unnamed but used to serve a "scientific purpose" during the Aenderia-Auvenum conflicts in late-2018.
The following islands are Kirinian:
- Kinatoure (Main City/Capital: Kirina)
