The Republic of Elwynn (Elwynn Ríqi Adurellion) is a micronation in northern Benacia. It declared independence from the Imperial Republic of Shireroth on 5 August, 2010.
History
From 2001 to 2010, the region of Elwynn) was a Duchy of Shireroth. During a general rise in anti-Shirerithian sentiment that saw several riots and revolts in the country (one of which was the Laqi Secession with which the Elwynnese had diplomatic contact), a group of Elwynnese citizens led by Daniel Kalirion voted to declare independence. A treaty with the Shirerithian government gave the new country most of the former Duchy of Elwynn, but kept about a third of the land (including the far south, the northern isles including Raikoth, and the counties of Illumination and Wintergleam) under Shirerithian control. This resulted in Elwynn's first appearance on the MCS map as an independent state in November 2010.
Immediately after Elwynn's independence, former Elwynnese partisan Ardashir Khan deleted the new nation's forum for reasons that remain unclear, nearly derailing the entire project. Although a new forum was later set up, the loss of Ardashir was a devastating blow to the new country. A trial of the Khan being conducted by Malliki Tosha has yet to reach a verdict.
Elwynn received some negative publicity in early January 2011 when it was involved in a deal to take over Holzer land from Natopia; the Kaiser of Holzborg accused both countries of trying to steal his land, and the deal was called off.
Culture
The Republic of Elwynn seems to contain some Treesian cultural elements, including use of the Treesian calendar and use of the Book of the Orchids as a holy text, but cultural development stalled with the loss of Ardashir Khan and of those Elwynnese who decided to stay in Shireroth. Nathan of Natopia has attempted to introduce the Butter Bull cult to Elwynn.
