The Kingdom of Midnorth, more commonly known as Midnorth, is a micronation located just outside the Midnorth Region. Midnorth is currently landlocked within South Australia
Etymology
The name of Midnorth has an interesting backstory. Originally called Grabenstadt, it served more as a location for trade agreements rather than a formal name. To streamline things, Grabenstadt decided to simplify its identity and chose the name Midnorth. At one point, during a political coup, Midnorth briefly adopted the title of "The Reformed Socialist Republic of Midnorth" for about 3 weeks, but eventually Changed back to its original name. Then, on the 18 of September 2023, a significant change Happened as the Midnorth President decided to Declare himself king and adopted the new title of "The Kingdom of Midnorth."
History
The Republic of Midnorth, established under the leadership of President Daniel within the Micronational Community, initially experienced relative peace. However, the emergence of neighboring Micronations in close proximity to Midnorthean land significantly altered its trajectory.
Among these nations was The Godless Anarchic State, which swiftly annexed Midnorthean territory due to a misunderstanding. In response, the Grabenstadt Armed Forces were mobilized and began recruiting soldiers, quickly mustering a modest force of four soldiers to counter the Godless incursion.
In the ensuing confrontation, the Midnorthean soldiers demonstrated superior technology and strategy, securing an overwhelming victory against the Godless forces. Following their defeat, the Godless retreated, sparking the onset of a cold war between Midnorth and the Godless.
In the aftermath, President Daniel initiated diplomatic efforts, forging alliances and treaties to bolster Midnorth's security. However, tensions escalated when the Godless trespassed on Midnorthean territory on May 13th, igniting the First Midnorth-Godless War. Despite few records of the conflict, internal strife brewed within Midnorth.
A citizen ascended the ranks and orchestrated a coup against President Daniel, coercing his abdication. The nation was rebranded as The Reformed Socialist Republic of Midnorth, establishing a diarchy with Daniel and his counterpart. However, internal power struggles ensued, culminating in a triarchy and Daniel's eventual exile.
The tumultuous period marked the Dark Age and collapse of the Midnorthean Republic, as external pressures and internal discord destabilized the government. Abandoned and divided by rival Micronations, Midnorth languished in turmoil.
Following a prolonged period of inactivity, former President Daniel reclaimed authority, proclaiming himself King to restore stability to Midnorth. Under King Daniel I's leadership, significant investments were made in the armed forces, enhancing their capabilities and readiness. Additionally, a Privy Council was instituted to assist in the governance and management of Midnorth's affairs, heralding a new era for the Kingdom of Midnorth.
After a while, King Daniel I enacted the first Royal decrees To improve the Midnorthean economy. These economic Reforms would prove crucial for Midnorthean success. These economic reforms would add the taxing of all tangible goods except food and medicine. After a complicated situation with other Micronations a group Called ELM lost almost all of its members. Those members would go onto create a organisation called ILM, Midnorth would join the day after ILM was created.
