Timeline of Modern Batavia

A timeline of modern Batavia since the return of Gustaaf Vermeylen on 1.I.1661 (1 June 2018). Batavian like states were already active before the return of Gustaaf, namely Kasterburg and Transbataafsche Vrystaat. Both states were wiki-based and owned parts of the former Batavian lands. After Gustaaf's return, the Batavians united and the Batavian revival was established, with the timeline as follows:
