History

Ancient history
The Adriatic (Jadranska) banovina was part of the Roman province of Dalmatia.

The Middle Ages
Main article: Wikipedia: Great Moravia,Wikipedia: Kingdom of Hungary and Wikipedia: Medieval Hungary

The Nitric Slavs arrived during the 4th century. King Samo is thought to have ruled the Poplavina region (at least some part of the claimed area), however this is not confirmed. The same area later became part of Great Moravia, as part of the Principality of Nitra.

Early Modern Era
''Main article:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habsburg_Monarchy Wikipedia. Habsburg monarchy]''

The Habsburgs ruled most of Narentia following the Ottoman victory at Mohács until the end of the First World War in 1918.

20th Century
During the 20th century, the Poplavinska banovina became part of Czechoslovakia and the Jadranska part of Yugoslavia. During World War II, the Poplavinska banovina became part of a Slovak Republic and Jadranska was divided between Fascist Italy and Independent State of Croatia.

After the war, both banovinas returned to their former owners, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. However, now under commumist dictatorship, the region was governed from Moscow and Belgrade.

After the death of Jozip Broz Tito in 1980, ethnic tensions began in Yugoslavia. The communist dictatorship in Czechoslovakia ended in 1989. An independent Croatian Republic was declared in 1991, and Slovakia declared its independence in 1993.

Early micronational period
See also: Early history of Iryllian Slevania

First parts of the Poplavina banovina seceded from Slovakia on the 28th November 2010 as the Kingdom of Rytierohrad. It transformed into the Izbiac Republic ,Zapotôčkan Federal Republic, Zapotôčkan and Izerniac Federal Republic,Kingdom of Isarnia., Principality of Cotinia ,and the Holy Euramerican Empire, influenced by medieval Germany.

In February a short-lived Republic of Isarnia was created, claiming for the first time a large amount of land. However a "royal revolution" took place, and a federal monarchy of Ponitria was created. The monarchy, - wasn't controlled, but claimed as a " zone of influence". The controlled area consisted of four principalities and one duchy.Ponitria was the first micronation to have an active military and fought in the 1st Besdomowtsian war.

However, due to growing tensions between the King and the remaining Principalities, a civil war broke out,resulting in the kings abdication.The Lazany Conference stopped the fighting and led to the creation of the Quertinian Federal Republic.The new micronation existed mostly on paper and consisted of 18 states and 6 territories.In August, it reformed into a socialist nation, with the name Slavinsk Federation,which reformed into a Holy Roman Empire of the German and Slavic peoples. However, when the Emperor wanted to merge a few states into one,it led to another civil war and the creation of Metonia.The Metonian Federal republic emerged out of the war, and lasted for the whole of October. Another war was yet to come, which led to an independent Izkania.

Slevania
Main article: Slevania Before the creation of Slevania, there was a debate, whether the Arktis and Skalna banovinas should be incorporated, but the proposal was rejected. Negotiations started on the 21st January, but the Constitution was finished on the 9th March.

The first elections were the parliament elections, which were to take place on the 31st March 2012. The winners of the elections were BiE with 2 councillors and KSLF with 1 councillor, who was delegate of two republics. In Lurkska and Akrestska. the elections took place a week later.

The second elections to take place were the presidential elections, which took place from 15 to 25 April 2012. Officially, there were two candidates, but one of them did not elect at all.

The problem with these elections was that A. White did not elect, but had two votes. So the former president V. Petrović named White to be president, as he thought that the candidate would vote for himself. However, Z. Tvrtković said that the official results were that he got 67% and White only 33%. White knew about the elections and in was said it was his fault he didn't vote. So the new president was to be Tvrtković, with White having only 2 days of presidency. On the 16th May 2012 Zoran Tvrtković received a letter written in Cyrillic, saying that the Slobodarsko-Jablonječka Republic declared independence and war on Slevania. They declared themselves to be a socialist state. In response, the president Zoran Tvrtković named Vitomir Petrovič dictator the following day.However, after the war, the citizens became mostly inactive.
