Independence

On 6 October 2018, the Kingdom of Auvenum seceded from the Aenderese Republic (formerly the Republic of Aenderia) by Calvin White, the former President of the Republic of Aenderia. After elections on 22 September 2018, Horatio Eden was elected as Vice President, but Calvin White was accused of voter fraud by the opposing party. These allegations led to White being indicted by the Aenderian government for voter fraud, and Aenderia's congress voted to remove White of his power until after the trial. Horatio Eden became acting Presydent as the trial against White took place.

White was later acquitted, but the government refused to return White his position. Eden, the acting President, claimed that White required an ALC vote to return, backtracking on his prior statement that the outcome of the trial would determine White's position. The ALC, Aenderia's legislative body, was controlled by White's opposition and voted to prevent White from reobtaining his seat. This led to growing secessionist sentiment among White and his supporters, who felt betrayed by their own country and government.

White intended to rerun in the upcoming November elections even though White's public sentiment continued to flounder, as a poll showed that only 30% of people supported White. White later befriended a fellow micronationalist, Maximilian von Schroeder, who became White's running mate for the election. He was given the governorship of the Kir Islands which were once part of Aenderia at the time.

On 6 October 2018, Eden threatened to exile von Schroeder, which angered him and encouraged him to secede the Kir Islands from Aenderia. Additionally, White closed down all Aenderian government buildings in the capital city and declared the independence of the capital city and the Kir Islands to create the Kingdom of Auvenum.

Early History

After independence from Aenderia, Auvenum quickly established a monarchy under center-left authority. Calvin White named himself the de facto head of state and later established himself as the Prince. He also created the Prime Director (later called Prime Minister) position to represent the head of government, and made Maximilian von Schroeder the Prime Director. One of White's first actions as Prince was to oversee the creation of an armed forces. He appointed Jay Clover I as the Director of Defense/General of the military, and created three fictional bases on three islands in the Robertson Chain.

Joshua Mullins, the notable attorney who successfully defended Calvin White from accusations of voter fraud, was appointed as the Attorney General of Auvenum.

White Scandals

On 27 October 2018, White attempted to coup the Aenderian government. The plan involved attempting to take the IP address of William Efton and change the MicroWiki page to support his claims of an overthrow. He also attempted to re-establish the Republic of Aenderia under his own authority. White contracted Tom Kap of the People's Republic of Duke to act as his mule to attempt to gain Efton's IP address. However, Tom Kap held reservations about his role in the plot against Aenderia and promptly informed Efton of White's plan, leading to heavy international scrutiny and efforts by Aenderia. White later publicly apologized, denounced his actions, and claimed he would focus on growing Auvenum rather than retake his position in Aenderia.

2018 Kir Islands Secession Crisis

After the White Scandals went public, Maximilian von Schroeder, the Prime Director at that time, heavily denounced White's actions and resigned from his role as Prime Director. Over a week later, he announced that he would secede the Kir Islands from Auvenum, and created the Kingdom of Kivaria. This led to a territorial dispute between Auvenum and the Kingdom of Kivaria, since Auvenum still claimed the Kir Islands as a region of Auvenum. The Auvenese claimed that since von Schroeder renounced his government and citizenship, he had no jurisdiction and authority to secede from the Kir Islands. However, von Schroeder persisted in establishing the Kingdom of Kivaria, and White desperately attempted to prevent von Schroeder from doing so.

Compromises

Calvin White attempted to compromise with Kivaria, by offering a few islands that belonged to the Kir Islands. Initially, the two uninhabited and unutilized islands were offered to Kivaria, but von Schroeder refused and persisted with his attempts to establish Kivaria.

In early November 2018, White struck a deal with von Schroeder, successfully agreeing to relinquish control of the two uninhabited islands on the north of the Kir Islands and the largest island of Jir, whilst keeping Kinatoure and Voka. Schroeder initially refused, but White eventually managed to convince Schroeder, and Kivaria became its own entity while the islands of Kinatoure and Voka remained in the control of Auvenum.

Kivarian Annexation

On 17 November 2018, Auvenese intelligence discovered that Kivaria was inactive and no government activity was taking place. Auvenum still had not forgotten the recent secession crisis, since the events transpired only weeks prior. The newfound prompted Auvenese officials to pursue military action against the inactive territories of Kivaria.

On the early morning of 17 November, the Auvenese military invaded the island of Jir and reclaimed the island, facing no resistance. A few days later, Auvenum reclaimed all of the Kivarian isles, thus reunifying the Kir Islands and leading to the supposed termination of the Kingdom of Kivaria. In the meantime, von Schroeder focused on creating a new nation- Rhodesia.

On 3 December 2018, the Lilylandian Broadcast Corp (LBC), a news media company created by von Schroeder, published a fabricated article on an alleged riot that took place in Kir Islands, Auvenum. The article's intended effect was to hurt the credibility of Auvenum and victimize the annexed Kivaria and its supposed "inhabitants." The false news story led to backlash from international skeptics.

Robertson Sea Conflict

The Robertson Sea conflict began during the Matachewan-Nerdystan War.

Matachewan declared war on Nerdystan in October 2018, and Piotr Harniakiewicz reached out to Calvin White for help. White immediately ordered for (fictional) forts to be built on the Kir Islands, near Nerdystan's only territory on an island. The plan (below) consisted of creating a belt around Nerdystan with Auvenese ships holding a sea brigade. Some ships were also sent to the west side in case of a flank by Matachewanese ships.

The plan of a belt around Nerdystan with Auvenese ships holding a sea brigade. Some ships were also sent to the west side in case of a flank by Matachewanese ships.

However, after the brigade was called to order in the Robertson Sea by the Prince, Aenderia felt threatened by the Auvenese brigade and immediately began politically attacking Auvenum.

Of course, Matachewan wasn't amused either. Over time, Matachewan conceded to the war and apologized by handing over one of their former provinces, Gowganda, to Nerdystan. Nerdystan refused but Auvenum occupied it for over a month.

Over time, Brandom Mierzwa of Matachewan abdicated in Matachewan and created a new country out of it; the Commonwealth of Matachewan. Over time, the former Matachewan dissolved and the Commonwealth asked Auvenum for Gogwanda back. Auvenum refused and said that occupation is only temporary.

Then came the 'White Scandals' where Prince White was accused of trying to IP snoop William Efton and Nick Randouler using Tom Kap as a plaintiff. The mission was eventually botched when Tom Kap betrayed White and defected to the enemies. White was banned on MicroWiki for a week.

The Commonwealth of Matachewan ultimately began several assaults on Gogwanda to reclaim their lost territory. However, the Matachewanese Military was no match for the Auvenese military, and their several assaults in Gogwanda failed miserably until one day, Jay Clover sent the troops to assault the Matachewanese troops in East Montreal but failed miserably. The positions of the Matachewanese were broken, but the Matachewans ultimately disarmed the Auvenese troops. Shortly after, the Treaty of Timmins was signed, handing over Gogwanda back to Matachewan and ending the Matachewan Front.

However, after the White Scandals, Max Schroeder, the former Prime Director of Auvenum, resigned and left Auvenum. A week later, he announces that he will be seceding all of the Kir Islands, citing that the Kir Islands were 100% Kivarian and needed to be independent. This was factually incorrect, as after Max Schroeder left, so was his Auvenese authority. Long conflicts ran dry and the attempt to give Kivaria certain islands failed. A plan was written up by Nicholas Milan, and it included giving part of Cyntell to Auvenum, yet Aenderia refused to cite that Aenderia had nothing to do with this conflict. However, Aenderia did support Auvenum during this time, stating that Kir Islands should be independent, but not use Auvenese territories.

Eventually, after countless times making deals with Kivaria, White struck a deal with Max S, giving him three of the five islands in the Kir Island chain. The Kivarians deemed this conflict as the "War of Kivarian Succession," and was highly regarded as false propaganda.

The conflicts then quickly came to a close.

Resignation of Jay Clover I

On 21 December 2018, whilst White and Clover were both in school; Jay Clover and White came into their algebra class to notice that the teacher was absent, and sat next to each other. However, Jay yelled at White because he apparently "gave part of White Island to Aenderia." White was stunned since he did no such thing. He vehemently denied all allegations about that. However, what White did is give territory to a newfound republic named the Republic of Verus, territory on mainland Marine Park (where White Island is situated.)

Thus, after White disproved Jay Clover's accusations, Clover launched an investigation on White. His potential charges included:

  • Hate speech
  • Creating conflict to start conflict
  • Falsely accusing another leader of multiple charges
  • Invasion of privacy

(There may be a few more)

In a response to the investigation, micronational leaders all disagreed with Jay's investigation, and even Aenderia expressed their support towards White in the investigation.

Later on, after all this, Jay Clover resigned as the Prime Director from Aenderia and the investigation was dismissed.

A day later, Jay won the elections in Aenderia and began proposing to "destroy Auvenum."

Clover's Return

On 1 January 2019, Calvin White announced that Jay Clover will be the Prime Director until 19 January when the next elections will be held.

It was later discovered that Clover's "resignation" was staged and he was acting on behalf of White. Clover left Auvenum and joined Aenderia as the new 8th HOE [House of Electors] seat. A few days later, on Christmas Day, Efton is toppled as the Vice President, and Lycon resigned which had taken effect on January 1. He returned to White with an apology and a plea.

There was a huge power grab after this new crisis in Aenderia erupted, with Nick R being first in line for the presidency. However, after torment from Efton and his "minions," Nick resigned, leaving Jay first in line for the presidency.

However, Jayden made a last-minute decision and made Milaw Oakforrest first in line for Presidency, making Jay the first Vice Presidential candidate.

On 1 January 2019, Jayden Lycon left Aenderia and Milaw became the new Presydent of Aenderia, alongside Jay. Jay also returned to Auvenum for another short term until the elections on January 19.

First Auvenese Elections

On 19 January 2019, Auvenum held their first elections to appoint councilmen into Parliament to represent their regions, and also to ballot for the 3rd Prime Director of Auvenum (and first elected Prime Director of Auvenum.)

Prime Director Elections

E.B. vs. Nicholas Randouler

E.B. vs. Nicholas Randouler Polls were open beginning the morning of 19 January 2019 and closed eight hours later. After the votes were tabulated, it was announced that Nicholas Randouler won by a singular vote and a percentage of 55.6%.

Councilmen Elections

As of the elections, Auvenum was divided into 3 Parliamentary Districts:

  • Jyilzyem Districts: 1, 2, and 3 (now only 1 and 2)
  • Kir Islands Districts: Kinatoure and Voka.

However, the 2019 elections were for Jyilzyem Districts 1 and 2, and Kir Islands District Kinatoure.

JD1 The race was E. W vs. Andy Eftin for district Jyilzyem 1. E. W represented the LPA (Liberal Party of Auvenum) and Andy Eftin represented the EGMP (East German Meatball Party.) After a long and lengthy battle, E. W won the vote by 66.7%, becoming the first councilman for the district, JD1.

JD2 The race was Matthew Laptev vs. Tony Sweigart for district Jyilzyem 2. Matthew Laptev was independent and Tony Sweigart represented the LPA (Liberal Party of Auvenum). After a long and lengthy battle, Matthew Laptev won the vote by 80%, becoming the first councilman for the district, JD2.

Second Auvenese Cold War

On 7 July 2019, the monarch of Auvenum, Calvin White, declared an absolute monarchy, firing the Prime Minister and the short-termed Deputy Prime Minister. The Fifth Aenderian Republic, or more commonly known in Auvenum as the FAR, immediately took legislative actions and unrecognized the Kingdom. This was seen as the spark of the Second Cold War.

On 17 July 2019, the Aenderese legislation passed 4-0, claiming that Auvenum is "rightfully Aenderese" on the grounds it identified Auvenum as being "not sovereign" and was "illegally seceded" from the Aenderese Republic. White was charged with three counts of "Violation of Free Speech Law," which all occurred in Auvenum despite Aenderia's attempts to prosecute White. Thus, White employed Joshua Mullins as his defense attorney to fight his indictment.

On 27 July 2019, Joshua Mullins called for a motion of dismissal of all charges, and after almost an hour of arguments in court, all the charges were dropped by the prosecution.

Collapse

In the summer of 2019, the citizens of Auvenum were calling for the Prince to finish the long-awaited constitution. The Prince couped the Auvenese government in mid-Summer and established an absolute monarchy in response to the 2019 pro-Palestinian riots, and Auvenum quickly became inactive. In November 2019, Auvenum temporarily dissolved and later officially dissolved on January 1, 2020.
