History
Westmoore
The Republic of Agnovilan was founded on September 16th, 2006. Since joining the Westmoore region on October 4th, 2006, Agnovilan quickly became the dominant powerbroker of the region. Gaining the delegateship only 6 days after joining the region, Agnovilan consistently showed democratic and just representation of the region on the world stage in relations with other regions and the UN. Agnovilan led efforts that resulted in the building up of Westmoore to a peak population of 41 nations. In further efforts to improve the quality of Westmoore, Agnovilan created a regional wiki page for Westmoore, a regional map, and an off-site forum page. The forum page was used by Agnovilan to begin talks regarding the formation of a regional constitution and interregional alliances, as well as UN issues and other regional matters.
Always a staunch supporter of free speech and an advocate of the rights of member nations, Agnovilan stood up for a new nation against two older nations who wanted the new nation ejected. The new nation had been gaining many endorsements and the older nations wanted him ejected because they suspected him of plotting to take over the delegateship and overthrow the regional government. Agnovilan refused to eject the nation without any condemning evidence. The two older nations left Westmoore as a result and started a new region, New Westmoore, and took with them most of the active members of Westmoore. Even after this incident, Agnovilan still stood up for the freedom of speech of its constituents, defending another nation who voiced his opposition to the formation of New Westmoore on the Westmoore forums, even when the two older nations (now the founder and delegate of New Westmoore) demanded Agnovilan eject him.
Eastern Europe
Eventually, Agnovilan, who, despite hostility from the two founding nations of New Westmoore, was still attempting to make efforts toward peace between the two regions, decided that the last option for peace between the regions was to remove itself from the equation. On April 12th, 2007, The Federated Republic of Agnovilan stepped down from the delegateship and removed its membership in the region of Westmoore in a last-ditch attempt to further peace between Westmoore and New Westmoore. Agnovilan is now a member of Eastern Europe, where it has gained substantial respect and influence.
Alliances
Agnovilan controls two colonies. The Shining Beacon of Alumiel, a semi-autonomous nationstate that cooperates in a strong partnership with its motherland, and is currently located in Autropolis; and The Kingdom of Glaskibar, which is currently located in Taijitu.
Agnovilan also holds a strong alliance with Ellenburg, the current delegate of Autropolis.
