Commonwealth of Egan

Ferndale, officially Ferndale City-State, is a small micronation located in Montreal, Canada. The city-state has been known by many names over the years. From 2013 to 2014 the city-state was known as Podokan. From 2015 to 2016 it was known as New Podokan. For a brief period of time in 2017, it was known as the Nevatim Empire, until Nevatian rebels forced the micronation to dissolve.

The Podokans
In 2013, the city-state of Podokan was founded on the sidewalk in front of an apartment building where the president dwelt.

When rent got too expensive in 2014, the Pods were forced to give up their territory. The micronation dissolved, and the Pods lived in Canada, the neighboring country.

New Podokan
In 2015, the Pods relocated to a chunk of sidewalk three kilometers away from their previous location. The Pods lived happily there for a year.

Nevatim
In 2017, Goston Nemeth, a Pod since 2013, launched a coup d'etat, and was successful. He established a theocracy and became the High Priest. He renamed the micronation Nevatim. The religion practiced in Nevatim was a religion similar to Buddhism. It was called Acornism.

A week after Nevatim was formed, a man named Tobit Christopher launched a coup d'etat because he wanted to be the High Priest, but Goston Nemeth got chosen instead. The micronation collapsed into a few-day civil war. In the end, Nemeth kept his position, but Christopher became Vice-Priest and changed the official religion to a strange cult he created. Christopher was a corrupt man, and corrupted the micronation using Nemeth as a puppet.

A group of Nevatian rebels who called themselves "the savages" caused Nevatim to dissolve by repeatedly throwing soccer balls at the government. The nation dissolved and was nonexistent for almost two months.

Ferndale
Ferndale was founded by Goston Nemeth on July 8th, 2017. Nemeth drove "the savages" out of the territory, and founded Ferndale. But this time, Nemeth did not let Tobit Christopher in the micronation to avoid corruption. The official religion of Ferndale was changed to Gnosticism.
