The State of Stret Merdhin, commonly known as Stret Merdhin, was formed on 30 May 2022. It aims for peace with all nations and to stay out of micronational conflict. The OPROSM was an protectorate within Opstandia and had powers to control Stret Merdhin's allies, economics, local government, state formation, local laws and the ability to vote in nation wide issues, on the 1 January 2024 the ROSM declared independence from Opstandia.
Etymology
The name "Stret Merdhin" comes from a Cornish (Celtic) name, a street name within Kernow, United Kingdom. The name was chosen for the country because the leader of the nation would like to represent their culture.
History
Stret Merdhin was formed as the Republic of Corsa on 30 May 2022, However the nation was left untouched for some time, after the Meternes was inspired by the Republic of Molossia and the Principality of Sealand. The Metemes brought back the nation as the State of Stret Merdhin.
