History

Picture
People’s State of San Andreas

On May 7, 2012, the People’s State of San Andreas was founded by Migs Caldeo, who assumed the presidency of the new state. Originally conceived as a virtual micronation, the People’s State of San Andreas gradually moved towards becoming a territorial micronation. Initially claiming areas in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America, the People's State of San Andreas consolidated its territorial claims and centered all of its activities in Manila, Philippines - which is known as the province of Urbonia in San Andreas - by July 2012, with its other territorial claims being dropped by 2013. 

On May 29, 2012, the People's State of San Andreas ratified its first constitution with the state's first general elections being held on June 10. The elections resulted to the election of Migs Caldeo as the president of San Andreas, however, it sparked a constitutional crisis as the elections for the state's legislature - the People's Assembly - were inconclusive. The government soon collapsed and martial law was declared by President Migs Caldeo on June 30, with a new constitution ratified on July 5 and new elections to the People's Assembly held on July 13.

Soon after the state's establishment, the People's State of San Andreas soon found itself in military conflicts with other micronations, with notable actions including the stand-off with the Grand Intermicronational Alliance in May 2012 and a seven-hour conflict with the Kingdom of Fortania in July 2012. The state soon focused with its political system with the establishment of the National People's Party of San Andreas - the state's ruling political party and the origins of the Daikoku Social People's Party - on September 9, 2012.

On January 18, 2013, Migs Caldeo was re-elected in the first contested presidential elections in the People's State of San Andreas, with the National People's Party securing a majority in the legislative elections.

Principality of Treisia

On February 25, 2013, Karlos Luis Mozo Anioay established a territorial micronation named as the Principality of Treisia with him being the grand prince. Treisia is a monarchy located near Manila, Philippines and it shares a border with the Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia to its south.

Since both of the nations' leaders are known allies, Urbonia and Treisia would soon establish diplomatic relations on February 26. The alliance between Urbonia and Treisia would be pivotal in the establishment of the Daikoku Federation.

Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia

On January 24, 2013, Migs Caldeo signed into law the Dissolution Act which approved the dissolution of the People's State of San Andreas in favor of a new micronation called as the Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia in May 2013. The signing of the Dissolution Act was part of Migs Caldeo's plan to create a more unified state with a parliamentary system of government.

The transition period became violent on February 21, 2013 when the People's Assembly and the San Andrean paramilitary launched a coup d'etat attempt to overthrow President Migs Caldeo. The coup plotters demanded for the creation of a military force for San Andreas which President Caldeo refused due to international obligations. The head of the coup plotters, General Vince Tambaoan of the San Andrean paramilitary force, was installed as "president".

President Migs Caldeo responded to the coup d'etat by establishing the Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia on the same day, and vowed that his government is the legitimate government of the nation. The coup d'etat ended on February 22, with the coup plotters accepting the government's ultimatum. Negotiations soon started between the Urbonian government and the coup plotters, however, it later deteriorated when the coup plotters launched another coup d'etat attempt on February 27.

Operation Nadeko

As peace and order deteriorated in the Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia due to the coup d'etat attempts, President Migs Caldeo called Grand Prince Karlos Luis Mozo Anioay to aid the Urbonian government in ending the coup. They orchestrated a counter-coup called as Operation Nadeko which involved an attack by Urbonian loyalist forces aided by the Treisian Internal Defense Forces against the coup plotters in the Urbonian capital of Shiro-shi. The operation was launched on February 28, 2013 and it resulted to the surrender and arrest of the coup plotters.

After Operation Nadeko, attempts were made to rehabilitate the Urbonian nation through the introduction of a new constitution on March 6 and the installment of Patrick Nuguid as prime minister on the same day. Prime Minister Nuguid resigned on March 21 after he failed to create a government and was succeeded by Noel Cabe as prime minister, who also failed to create a government.

The failure to create a new government pushed President Migs Caldeo to begin negotiations with Grand Prince Karlos Luis Mozo Anioay to establish the Daikoku Federation.
Daikoku Federation

On April 13, 2013, Migs Caldeo and Karlos Luis Mozo Anioay met for a summit between the Democratic People's Republic of Urbonia and the Principality of Treisia. The summit concluded the negotiations held in early April by the two nations and resulted in the signing of the "Treaty on Unification and the Creation of a Federal State" by the nations' leaders which established the Daikoku Federation.

On May 25, 2013, the Constitution of the Daikoku Federation (2013) was ratified and the first elections in the new federation were held on June 21. The elections resulted in the Daikoku People's Front winning all of the seats in the Federal Assembly - the parliament of the Daikoku Federation. On June 28, the newly elected Federal Assembly unanimously voted for the approval of the re-appointment of Patrick Xavier Silerio - the interim premier of the Daikoku Federation - as head of government.

On October 16, 2013, the Federal Assembly voted for no confidence in the government of Patrick Xavier Silerio. Parliamentary elections were held on October 26, where the Daikoku People's Front unanimously won, with a new government under Premier Marius Reyes being formed on November 1.

On April 11, 2014, the Constitution of the Daikoku Federation (2014) was ratified with elections to a new Federal Assembly being held on June 30, where the Daikoku Social People's Party won 95.45% of the votes.

On August 9, 2014, a new Constitution of the Daikoku Federation was approved by the Federal Assembly as part of the government's plan of reforming the nation. It is set to be approved through a referendum on September 1, 2014.


Tensions with Ariana and Kaleido

A territorial dispute arose between the Daikoku Federation, the State of Ariana and the State of Kaleido (then the Republic of Kaleido) in August 2013 after each of the states laid claims to Marikina, a city in the Republic of the Philippines. Marikina was annexed into the Daikoku Federation on August 26, 2013 and became the district of Misaka. Initial negotiations in September 2013 failed as Kaleido withdrew. Negotiations with the State of Ariana were, however, successful and a treaty on resolving the territorial dispute was signed by both sides on October 23, 2013.

On December 27, 2013, Kaleido announced its new foreign policy called the "One Philippine Micronation Policy" aimed at making them the only micronation in the Republic of the Philippines and attacking the Daikoku Federation. The Daikoku Federation responded with the declaration of a state of emergency on January 3, 2014, and the labeling of Kaleido as a hostile state on February 10.

On April 11, 2014, the Daikoku Federation annexed Loyola Heights, Quezon City in the Republic of the Philippines and it became the federal city of Kitakyo, the new capital city of the country. The State of Ariana claimed that the city of Kitakyo was part of its sphere of influence. Negotiations would soon begin between the Daikoku Federation and Ariana. However, it soon collapsed as the State of Ariana, who had secretly allied itself with the State of Kaleido, launched a provocation called "Occupy Daikoku" within the territories of the Daikoku Federation with the intention of bringing down the federal government.

In response, the Daikoku Federation labeled Ariana, Kaleido and allied states and organizations as terrorist organizations and cut all forms of contact with those states.

On June 30, a referendum was held on the status of the Daikoku Federation in which 95.45% voted for the maintenance of the territories of the Daikoku Federation.
