History

The American Federalist Crisis

Antrium was founded August 12, 2005, in the International Democratic Union by refugees from the former state of American Federalist. American Federalist failed on August 11, 2005 after a war in January of that year, when the eastern provinces of American Federalist, North Hiel and Ituri, who had earlier supported the Federalist Party, took up arms against them. This may have been caused by a 2004 genocide in Ituri led by militants from IDU Unknown Lands. The government did not contain these militants. The Federalist Party stayed in office because of intervention by Domnonia, Hiel, and Keeslandia. The President was later assassinated.
The failure of American Federalist pushed hundreds of thousands of Federalists to leave the country. Many left to surrounding Malabra, Keeslandia, and Domnonia. A militia called the Nationalist and Integrationist Front killed 9,000 Federalists at this time, and caused approximately 270,000 to flee the country.
After this, many Federalists in the mid-southern part of American Federalist, wanting peace and order, considered starting a new state.

The Founding of Antrium

After a few local political groups got involved, they drafted a Declaration of Independence for the new state, which would be called Antrium. They formed a new democratic government, which allowed them to regain electricity and water, and when order was gained, they had their first elections.
There were only two candidates in this election, Nakaro Ventaliz, a conservative from the eastern provinces of former American Federalist, and Aranti Devaléra, a liberal from the central areas of Antrium. Devaléra won and immediately started setting up a Parliament and appointing government jobs.
Antrium was then split into four provinces (Norato, Esto, Soréto, and Véo) and Sivaris was chosen as its capital (and has its own province, The District of Sivaris), because of its central location.

Recent Events

Antrium joined the United Nations and on September 22, 2005, the Antrium UN ambassador, Joquero Manizca wrote and passed Antrium's first UN resolution, Labeling Standards.
In September 2005, the Antrium Red Cross found thousands of refugees living in a region called Alvés-Navlan. Relief efforts are underway in this area, and the Antrium government will decide whether or not to annex the area after Alvés-Navlan votes on it in the next few weeks. For more recent events, read the Antrium Beacon-Times Online.
