Sivland, officially the Principality of Sivland (Russian: Княжество Сивленд, romanized: Knyazhestvo Sivlend) and formerly named Ponosia, is a micronation located in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The micronation is mainly known for being associated with plush toys, and for it's former feud with the Unitaz Empire. On 9 January 2024, Sivland was invaded by the Gorhta Empire, but gained back independence 11 days later. It claims Proxima Centauri along with Ceres, the Kepler-90 solar system and NGC 6872 galaxy.
History
On 4 December 2022, an agreement takes place between three brothers, the first is given the Yavian Empire, the second Meltardara, and the third is given Ancyria. There was a purple crocodile on the flag of Ancyria. Wars accompanied the brothers. And on 29 December, the Kingdom of Pushkovia was born. Later, in the summer of June 6, the first partition of the Yavian Empire took place between Meltardara and Pushkovia, then the partition of Polkania, then the second partition of the Yavian Empire, then the third. After the defeat of the first brother, he did not admit defeat. But Ogorodia was no man's land. Then the Pushkov Republic appeared, it included 69% of the territory of modern Sivland.
Ponosian Republic
On 28 October 2023, the Unitaz Empire colonized territories of the Pushkov Empire (modern-day Sivland), and on 6 November, the Ponosian Republic was proclaimed, with the Ponosian troops taking the toilet, the bathhouse and the forest. On 19 November, during peace negotiations, the Unitazian ruler, Yatlot I., killed the deputy and destroyed the victory monument without signing the peace treaty, causing Ponosia to make an alliance against the Unitaz Empire. On 20 November, the Unitaz Empire capitulated and signed the peace treaty with Ponosia, ending the dispute and with Ponosia rebranding the alliance to the Union for the Defense of the Peoples of Micronations.
Principality of Sivland
On 24 November, Ponosia changed it's name to Sivland (formally Principality of Sivland). On 26 November, New Amsterdam tried to invade Sivland but lost it's independence afterwards. On 19 December at night, a car crashed into a road sign about 20-26 meters from Sivland. Elections were planned to be held on 2 January 2024, but were later cancelled.
Sivlandish Civil War
On 7 January, Sivland was attacked by the Gorhta Empire, with the latter having stormed the administration building and shot president Ryzhler, also dismantling borders and annexing a 2-3 meter large colony, which was then washed away by rain. Sivland's ally Wolfyland has condemned the invasion. Due to this, the Gorhta Empire has also threatened Wolfyland with an invasion, however the Wolfish government doubt that such invasion would be successful. Between 10-12 January, the Kuban Democratic Republic took over the Gorhta Empire, also making a claim on most of Krasnodar Krai and Adygea.
Restoration
On 18 January, after the civil war reached a stalemate and Sivland won, it once again got it's independence, this time from the Kuban Democratic Republic, under the new name Republican State of Sivland. On 22 January, Sivland changed it's full name back to Principality of Sivland. On 25 January, Sivland has stated that it plans to create a space company, it's own toy and chair factory, a post office and a city of Minecraft figurines. Later, around 27 January, the Sharkat Caliphate becomes a vassal state of Sivland, later renaming to the Sharkat Kingdom. Now, Sivland is allied with more than 60 micronations.
