History
Federal Republic of Gumland
The Gumland idea first started with the Federal Republic of Gumland, or FRG, in 2018. President Gumiel came up with the idea for his own micronation, and in October 2018, the FRG started. There is some animosity regarding the actual date of the foundation, with dates ranging from 25 October 2018 to 28 October 2018, however, the date is generally accepted as 25 October. During this early period, the FRG began a rapid demographic expansion. There were many candidates for the presidency, several of whom have consented to become ministers within the FRG. During 2018 and 2019, a period of inactivity ("downtime") was noted between the end of 2018 and the middle of 2019.
Transition period
The gap that formed after the end of the Federal Republic of Gumland was quickly filled when on 2 July 2019, the Principality of Gumland was officially founded by Prince Alvaro I of Gumland. The Gumland government quickly entered the Twitter community, which welcomed the new arrival. It was at this time that numerous diplomatic relations were formed.
Current Gumland
Currently, the Principality of Gumland is a peaceful micronation, which does not recognize the expression micronational warfare, it also has a stable population of more than 7 inhabitants and another 20 who do not live in New Gumland, the capital of the principality.
