The Republic of Z1969 is a micronation founded on 4th August 2013.

Etymology

The name comes from the early days of the internet. It is formed with two elements: Philip Zimmermann, who made PGP, and the year of the start of the internet as a military network.

History

Z1969 was started on 5 August 2013, but its history is much older.

A short timeline:

  • 100-200 before Christ: the Anthikythera mechanism, the first analog computer
  • 1822: Charles Babbages differential engine
  • The 20th century: the real start of the computer (nearly all built for war – not good)
  • 1969: ARPANET, an American Military network and the beginning of what we call the internet later
  • 1972: ARPANET was accessible for everyone
  • 1981: the first personal computer, by IBM
  • 1999: the first internet micronation called Audentior
  • 2009: the start of the smartphone and tablet expansion
  • 2013: the founding of Z1969

Foreign relations

Currently Z1969 hasn't any diplomatic relations, but it will start contacting several nations and organisations soon.
