Etymology

The Name Neuborrnia-Merientalia comes from proposed names from two stradan politicians who had proposed a name for their new micronational project.

Neuborrnia, proposed by Aaron Penyami, based on the two words 'Neu' meaning new in German and 'børr' meaning born in High Stradan. The two words combined Neubørr meaning new-born suggests the idea of Neuborrnia-Merientalia being a newborn and 'the new face of Pejaten'.

Merientalia, proposed by Arda Sandya, originating from the word 'meridien-orientalis' meaning southeast in an unidentified langauge.


History

Neuborrnia-Merientalia was founded as the United Indonesian States of Sapu Lidi in Early 2018. It was originally a micronational project established for a friend group named Sapu Lidi.

Entering 2019, activity in Pejaten began declining. One of the leading factors due to citizens graduating from school and some citizens deciding to move their educational center away from Strada. This leads to the inactivity of the Stradan sub-sector of 2019 and leads to the dissolution of Pejaten in 2020. After the dissolution of pejaten, it was promised that a new micronational project which acts as a successor to Pejaten would be established in 2020 soon.
