The early history of Northudankton, from its founding in 2016 until 2021, is not well-documented. During these initial years, efforts were primarily focused on establishing the micronation and its core values, which led to a lack of systematic record-keeping. As a result, detailed accounts of the development of the micronation during this period are sparse.
Documentation improved significantly with the establishment of the Community of Duikienin and the launch of the Out The Window v3 live broadcast on April 17, 2021. These initiatives provided a structured platform for recording and disseminating information, ensuring a consistent historical record of Northudankton's activities and development from that point onwards. This marked a clear shift towards more reliable and accessible documentation practices within the micronation.
This is not a list of all events in the history of Northudankton, only some major or notable events that have documented historical evidence.
