History

Gishabrun's conquest of Sumac Department

The Sumac Department was established on 17 July 2010 by then Tsar Kuri I as a Department of the Slinky Empyre. The Sumac Department and other Slinky Departments seceded from the Slinky Empyre to form the Slinky Republyc on 15 January 2011, protesting the actions of Kyng Fyrst. The Slinky Republyc dissolved on 26 February 2011 and the Sumac Department was annexed by the Tsarist Empire of Gishabrun on 8 March 2011 as the Sumac Krai. Gishabrun joined the Free State of Renasia on 22 July 2012 as the Gishabrun SAR. Following the dissolution of Renasia on 5 May 2015, Gishabrun became independent and relinquished all territorial claims and became a non-territorial cultural entity.

The area of Sumac Krai was later occupied by the Great Lawl Reich as the Occupied Territory of the Sumac Krai in 2022.
