Etymology
The word Kirbia comes from the last name "Kirby," this last name of the family who owned the land the nation started in. Xavier Winton's grandfather commonly called the land "Kirbyland," and so the name Kirbia was used.
History
The Grand Republic's founding day is January 20th 2024, when the President decided the original name was much better and held a referendum for a new name and flag, resulting in the two aspects changing.
Dispute
In early-mid 2022, Winston Roosefvelt had learned about Kirbia and after an argument with it's leader, he decided he'd claim that he ran and made Kirbia, Kapitein Liam, who ran Kirbia, tried to be a mediator in the conflicts but later he helped Winston by nuking the Kirbian discord server, using an Almendrian nukebot, who Tizian himself activated. He would later apologize for his actions and give up these claims, but Winston holds them to this day despite the claim he created Kirbia having been debunked multiple times. (note that kirbia was not abandoned and was an external territory that could not be accessed due to large plants)

Arguan War
When Trey Underwood, minister of defense of Igden (pre-renaming Kirbia), had put aside differences with the leader of Argu (a nazi who stole and returned airsoft from him although Trey thought he'd change), he decided to ask him to become a citizen of the country. The Arguan leader decided to attack Trey with an airsoft gun. Before he could fire, Trey used his airsoft AK47 and ran away. When President Xavier learned of this news, he declared war on Argu, causing a 3 day long war with the state. It culminated in the battle of the hot tub, in which Trey ambushed the Arguan leader from a bush after firing a few shots in the open, resulting in an Arguan surrender and subsequent annexation shortly after. This would not be the last of Argu, as another war could've happened when Trey spotted rebels arming in Argu and fired warning shots, which didn't hit a single soldier. In retaliation the leader of Argu and a rebel he was training fired at Trey, who retreated. A verbal ultimatum was delivered stating that Argu must accept becoming a self governing territory in exchange for them agreeing they wouldn't attack the state, which was agreed on due to mutiny in the Arguan force.
The Consulate
The Consulate began after Xavier Winton had chosen Lela Atchison as a consul and adopted a new style of government, having two elected consuls similar to the Roman Republic. Soon after this, Xavier would step down as a consul and vote for Trey Underwood, national hero and general who won the Arguan war while outnumbered, to be Consul. He is now the De-Facto leader.
Xavier’s Resistance Force
Xavier Winton believes he made a mistake by putting Trey Underwood in power, and realizes it was undemocratic and he wasn't a good idea to begin with, he is starting to grow a resistance force. Xavier Winton also said “I heard Trey and Lela laughing about declaring war on a ton of people, they probably take it as a joke." The main cause for the resistance force was a quarrel between Trey and Xavier, culminating in the nuking of Trey's server, even though he had apologized. (this was resolved)
The resistance force came to an end as Trey stepped down, leaving Lela as sole leader of The Grand Republic.
