Etymology
The name Sabaria comes from the Sabar river, a river that has defined the region for most of its history. The origin of the river's name is unknown.
Official names
The first official name of Sabaria was "The Republic of Sabaria". In March 2023, the name was changed to the Democratic Union of Sabaria. On the 4th of June it was renamed to "The Sabarian Federation".
History
Formation
On the 16th of August 2022, the current president decided to form his own country and bring back the glory days to the region of Sabaria. At first, Sabaria was a Republic with name of Campogalinia, claiming a house and some land as it's territory in present day Bălăceni raion. The current flag of Sabaria was also adopted. The Republic annexed lands around it, the annexed lands becoming the core territory of Sabaria. After a few days the nation changed it's name to Sabaria. It's government was a military dictatorship. In September 2022, the state made it's first appearence on Reddit. On the 16th of Octomber 2022, the nation fought a brief war with Sobolania, a small milita.
The Democratic Union of Sabaria
On the 20 of April 2022, the Republic of Sabaria united with the Republic of Patmania and formed the Democratic Union of Sabaria and joined VECTO. The leader then decided to develop his nation and expand it, with Sabaria becoming a Federation on the 1st of June 2023.
VECTO
On the 5th of July, the Sabarian Federation alongside other VECTO members participated in a conflict against the UNNA. The conflict was a decisive VECTO victory and ended with VECTO's popularity increasing, among other things. Tensions with a few other nations shortly followed. A period of prosperity for Sabaria and VECTO as a whole began. Due to the USR's involvment in the 3rd Colanese Civil War, VECTO entered in a conflict with the USR, altough the two were already involved in a cold war against each other.
The Dark Age
After adopting some controversial laws in Sabaria, a lot of VECTO members left the alliance, starting a period known as "The Dark Age" for Sabaria. During this, the remaining VECTO members desperatly tried to keep the alliance alive, while being considered responsible for the alliance's failures. When the Colanese Empire left, the leadership knew the alliance was doomed and slowly abandoned it to it's fate. VECTO was then disbanded. The Sabarian Federation continued to try to fix their image, holding a referendum about the law where 100% of the voters voted for the law to remain. Despite the results, the President of Sabaria signed a decree where he removed the law. This made a Nazi micronation, called the SS State of Golden Hill, with the backing of Zeprana and Almendria, to raid Sabaria's Discord server once again on the 31st of July. The President deleted the server, being tired of the raids and being in need of rebuilding it. Following this, a new server was made, but Sabaria tended to focus more on their physical territory and population.
New Golden Age
After the raid, the server was remade and it's member count grew fast from that of the old server. The USR also raided UNAM and Hashemite Kingdom of Raritania, a ally of Sabaria. Sabaria then joined UNAM, and later on AMU.
Instability
On the 13th of September, a group of rebels insisted that Sabaria turn socialist. The president refused, and it looked like a coup was about to happen, but it was avoided through negotiations. On the 15th of September, the newly remade once again started discussing about destroying Sabaria, and they started spreading propaganda. It was avoided once again when the government threatened using military force to stop them. This period is marked by it's instability and general government of fear of a coup. On Octomber 12th AMU was disbanded.
Era of peace
A era of peace and prosperity for the nation followed. On the 6th of Octomber, the nation's Discord server reached 60 members, and it's military had expanded to 17 personnel. The National Assembly started holding it's first votes, paving the way for a more democratic government within the federation. On the 23th of Octomber Sabaria gained a protectorate, the Sabarian Republic of Bragadiru, the establishment of the protectorate being part of the state's goal to reunite all culuturally Sabarian people.
The conflict with the USR
On the 22th of November, the United Socialist Republics launched a series of attacks, commonly known as "The Grand Crussade". Their goal was the conquest of the whole micronational community. Against this new threat, the Federation was among the first to announce the start of this conquest, warning all micronations of the danger and encouraging taking security measures in every micronational Discord server. As part of the remade Alliance of Micronational Unity, the state fought against the hated communists, putting the Sabarian Cyber Forces on high alert. The Taksovian Empire would declare war on the whole alliance. Fighting continued, until a small truce was enacted. However, the truce would end and a new series of servers were raided, and one of Sabaria's closest allies, The Republic of Vertricht being nuked by USR forces. After numerous failures of the USR, they would stop most attacks and the war would be de facto over. On the 4th of February 2024, the USR collapsed.
