The term Micrasian Armenians refers to a group of ethnic Armenians originating from the Caucasus region that is mainly located in Krasnarus. Most Armenians came to Micras as a working trade and business class, almost all of which settled in the Albion region, an important area of international trade.
History
The earliest known record of Armenians on Micras was in 2007, where a community existed in Matbaa, centered around their capital of the same name. It is unclear what has become of the Armenians from these migrations.
In 2016, a large wave of Armenians came to the unincorporated territory of Albion in order to revive it. This later became Krasnarus.
