Vanersia, officially the State of Vanersia, formerly Democratic Republic of Vanersia, was a libertarian country with no international recognition and was referred to as a micronation by outside observers. It was created when Xavier Winton declared it's independence from the US and his home state of Tennessee on 10 April 2023.
Etymology
Vaners is a made up word that is derived from the word valor, a synonym for strength. The suffix "ia" is Latin for “the land of.” So Vanersia means "The land of strength."
History
Early history
Sometime before early May 2023, founder Xavier Winton and his cousin decided to make a nation. They began planning and came up with the name "Borgeno." this name was short-lived and was changed to Vanekia for a brief period before being named Vanersia. The government at this time was still headed by the council, although it had only two members, which effectively made the council pointless. At this time, there was also no ruling party and Xavier and his cousin had full control of the nation's affairs. Vanersia is the successor state to The Kirbian Empire and encompasses most of its former territories.
Kirbia
On February fifth, 2023, Xavier Winton created the Republic of Kirbia. Later, Kirbia allied itself with Kamore. The two had good relations until one online citizen of Kamore, Winston Roosefvelt, began saying he was the creator of Kirbia and ruler of the country. Winston went as far as to make his own Kirbia Discord server, and in fear that Winston would convince others he actually made Kirbia, Xavier asked Kamore for help. Kamore decided to convince Winston to call his version of Kirbia 'Kirbistan', but Winston simply created his own micronation called Kirbistan while still claiming Kirbia. NGE on top> Eventually, someone in favor of Vanersia hosted a virtual court and when presented with screenshots showing that Xavier's Kirbia was indeed created first, ruled that Winston's was illegitimate. Soon after this Kamore decided to nuke the then Empire of Kirbia's discord server framing Almendria (by using their bot) and backed Winston. Xavier began avoiding Kamore and Winston but is recently speaking out against them. Xavier ceded Kirbia to TDC, creating Treskan Kirbia, in early 2023 but when TDC relinquished their claims to Kirbia, Vanersia re-annexed. Winston still claims the land as part of his variation of Kirbia in Ireland.
Cornland discord conflict
It had a Discord conflict that started when the leader of Vanersia, Zipo, disagreed with the server rules of Cornland. Cornland declared "war" however Vanersia did not recognize this declaration. Vanersia also holds all “wars” fought online as illegitimate and roleplay, it only accepts them if it is already at war with said nation in reality.
Yellow jacket war
The Vanerso-Yellow jacket war started sometime in mid 2023, when Xavier Winton was stung in the leg by a yellow jacket, noticing they were attacking him, and robbing the hummingbird feeders, he began to chase them away with a spray bottle of water, which resulted in him stomping on and killing 5 yellow jackets whose wings were too wet to fly, the war concluded about 2 days after this when citizens of Vanersia placed moats on hummingbird feeders which caused the deaths of 32 yellow jackets. The wasps retreated the next week.
Recent history
In July through August, Vanersia had a short boom in agriculture, and plans to sell some of its crops within the near future, along with pine soda, as a stable source of revenue. The tree fort is under construction and is expected to be the first of many. The nation is focused most recently on its economy, it also engages in foreign aid to Welchtopia. Welchtopia was created when Xavier Winton gave land to the Welchtopian monarch, and gave them split sovereignty over the clay hill. The countries work together in mutual aid and have friendly relations.
In late 2023, the country had a government restructuring and became known as Igden, and then Arboland. This was short-lived however, as it returned to the original "Kirbia," causing the nation of Vanersia to become defunct.
Politics and Government
The Vanersian government body is called The Council of Vanersia and it is run by the premier, who appoints ministers, and calls senate meetings. The ministers have almost supreme authority over their respective field and are elected by the citizens, like the premier. The premier needs a majority vote of ministers to fire a minister, if the other ministers disagree a second time the vote of termination is closed for a year. If the premier sees fit, they can also make laws in a ministry other than internal affairs provided the respective minister's permission

Military

A day later the premier would appoint his friend "Adrian Turner" to the position.

Culture
Vanersia has a culture of gardening and common things are target practice and tree climbing, much of it is rooted in the tropical rainforests primarily in the Redrock and Oadra provinces. Trees are so common in Vanersia that it is impossible not to count at least 10 in every direction you look, there have historically been multiple instances where cats get stuck in dozens of meters tall trees and stay there until midnight.
A common practice in Vanersia is making bottle rocket cannons, which is a bottle or container propped up in a certain way so that bottle rockets fired from it will go in a certain direction.
