Vlasynia

The Despotate of Vlasynia (or Vlasynian Despotate) is a micronation, created and ruled by Denis of House Vlasceanu. It was officially established on the 21st of December 2017/99 AGU, with the signing of the Official Declaration of Independence by Denis, even though alliances and diplomatic relations were initiated before this.

On the 21st of June 2018/99 AGU, Vlasynia became a federal subject of Vlasynia-Dartiria and one month later, on the 21st of July 2018/99 AGU, when the United Republic of Vlasynia-Dartiria was formed, Vlasynia stopped being a federal subject. Also, Denis stopped ruling this individual nation, since he became one of the Presidents of the United Republic. However, on the 23rd of August 2018/99 AGU, after the reformed nation of Dartiria peacefully split from Vlasynia-Dartiria, Vlasynia was restored as an independent nation.

Ever since the 8th of January 2018/99 AGU, Vlasynia has been a member of the League of Micronations. It is one of the League's founders. As a result, it is part of the League's Security Council (alongside Alimia, Egan, Ticrenium, New Rizalia, United Imperial Empire, Libertia, Agelonia and Laurencia) with Despot Denis having been the League's second President.

Between January 21 2019/100 A.G.U and July 20 2019/100 A.G.U Vlasynia was the overlord of the Divellian Union, with the Kingdom of North-East Bucharest and the Grand Principality of Paque as its junior partners. It was succeeded by the Union of Vlasynian States.

Also Vlasynia, alongside Libertia, are the founders of the League of Romanian Micronations.

Vlasynia is currently the official successor of the Empire of Enok and also considers itself to be the official successor to the Kingdom of Romania.

Prelude
Sometime in November 2017/98 AGU, Denis-Mihai Vlasceanu from Bucharest, Romania, discovered the existence of an abandoned village, called Alexandru I. Cuza, located about 30 km east of Bucharest, in the Calarasi County of Romania. Once the discovery was made, he immediately declared the desire of owning the village, as well as the territories around it. Then, at the beginning of December 2017/99 AGU, he had the idea of creating a micronation in the area. Denis wanted the national day to be on a special day in December, apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas or New Year. So he decided to create it on the 21st of December, which corresponds with the winter solstice. On that date, he signed the Official Declaration of Independence, which made the Despotate of Vlasynia a fully sovereign micronation. Also, on the 15th of December he assumed the name "Mihai Vlasiu", establishing the Vlasiu Dynasty. On the night of the 20th of December 2017/99 AGU, Mihai wrote the Official Declaration of Independence and the next day he signed it, officially making Vlasynia independent from Romania.

Beginning Period
On the 8th of January 2018/99 AGU, Vlasynia became a member of the League of Micronations (Initially named Intermicronational League, it merged with the Community of Micronations to form the LoMN). It was part of the LoMN's Security Council (Vlasynia, Alimia, Ticrenium, Egan, New Rizalia, United Imperial Empire, Libertia, Agelonia and Laurencia).

On the 21st of March 2018/99 AGU, Despot Denis I, alongside President Petru Craciunoiu of Libertia, founded the League of Romanian Micronations. He is the League's current President, while Petru is the League's current Vice-President.

S.W.A.B Period
On the 1st of June 2018/99 AGU, Despot Denis, together with his father, visited Alexandru I. Cuza and his other claimed territories for the first time. To his disappointment, he found out that a group of people have been legally owning the area for quite some time. Because of that, he wasn't able to assert his control over there so he left. After returning back home, he officially abandoned all of his claims over the village of Alexandru I. Cuza and the surrounding land claims of the Tamaduianca and Manciulesti Forests, as well. As a result, Vlasynia was left with with no Mainland or Capital. This event started the S.W.A.B Period ("Soul Without A Body" Period) (Romanian/Vlasynian: Perioada "Spirit Fara Corp").

The S.W.A.B Period officially came to an end on the 2nd of July 2018/99 AGU, when Despot Denis went to the Angels' Island/Mill Lake Island (Romanian: Insula Ingerilor/Insula Lacul Morii), occupied a piece of land there and also established his new capital: Enok, on said land.

Vlasynia-Dartiria
On the 21st of June 2018/99 AGU Despot Denis I and Co-Emperor Sweyn Hardeknud of Dartiria agreed to unite their nations into one, thus the State Union of Vlasynia-Dartiria was born. As a result, Vlasynia became a federal subject of the larger state, with Denis still being its Despot. Also both Denis and Sweyn Hardeknud became the leaders of the Federal Central Government, assuming the titles of Emperors.

On the 21st of July 2018/99 AGU Vlasynia-Dartiria replaced its federal system with a centralized one, made the transition from a monarchy to a democratic republic and changed its name to: "United Republic of Vlasynia-Dartiria". As a result, Vlasynia and Dartiria stopped being federal subjects and also stopped being governed individually by Denis and Sweyn, respectively.

Independence restored, the Vlasyno-Dada War and the 'September Gains'
On the 23rd of August 2018/99 AGU, due to internal disagreements of multiple natures, the leaders of Dartiria (Andrei Rusu and Sweyn Hardeknud) decided to split themselves and their reformed nation (the Revolutionary Republic of Dartiria) from the United Republic, thus ending Vlasynia-Dartiria's two-months-and-two-days existence and restoring the Despotate of Vlasynia as an independent nation.

On the 26th of August 2018/99 AGU, after having occupied and annexed a portion of the Romanian town of Moinesti, Vlasynia was declared war on by another micronation in the area, called the Dada Empire. After just 5 minutes of fighting, the war was won by Vlasynia and Dada became a Vlasynian puppet state until its dissolution on the 30th of November 2018/99 AGU.

On the 1st of September 2019, as a result of a treaty signed with several other Bucharester micronations, Vlasynia gained a large amount of land in Bucharest. This event was known as "The September Gains". On the same day, the protectorates of Tei and Paque were established.

On the 24th of October 2018/99 AGU, Vlasynia changed its flag.

On the 16th of November 2018/99 AGU, the Flodor Protectorate was established.

On the 28th of November 2018/99 AGU, both the Flodor and Tei Protectorates expanded their borders, while on the next day they united to form the State of Flodor-Tei.

On the 30th of November 2018/100 AGU, the Dada Empire was dissolved. Also the Platan Municipality was established as Vlasynia's second non-autonomous Municipality.

The Divellian Union
On the 21st of January 2019/100 AGU, the North-East State and the Paque Protectorates transitioned from republics to monarchies, becoming the Kingdom of North-East Bucharest and the Grand Principality of Paque, respectively, with Denis becoming the monarch of both nations at the same time. The resulting personal union came to be known as The Divellian Union, with Vlasynia as the leading nation and the NEB and Paque as the junior partners.

On the 20th of July 2019/100 AGU, the Kingdom of North-East Bucharest and the Grand Principality of Paque were merged to form the Vlasynian Protectorate in Bucharest, which is a semi-independent protectorate, in a personal union under Vlasynia. This action dissolved the Divellian Union and led to the formation of the Union of Vlasynian States,
