Federation of Adonia

The Federation of Adonia, or the Adonia Federation, commonly known as Adonia, is a self-declared sovereign state but is more commonly referred to as a micronation by external observers founded by Andrew Franson on 7 July 2020. Adonia is a nation made up of one plot of land located in Illinois. The National Languages of Adonia include English, German, Polish, and Russian. The Federation of Adonia is an Adonia-Republican society, being the first nation and first micronation to follow Adonia-Republicanism. The capital of Adonia is Longhorn, located within Illinois.

History
The Illinois Sovetist Socialist Republic or The ISSR was a micronation located in Mokena, Illinois, and was founded on 14 September 2019. The ISSR is considered the precursor state to Adonia because the ISSR is considered to be "one of the best micronations I (Premier Andrew Franson) have ever led. Even if it was mediocre." by Premier Andrew Franson. The ISSR had renamed from Illinois Soviet Socialist Republic to Illinois Sovetist Socialist Republic on 3 January 2020. It would dissolve on March 18th following incidents in early winter 2020. Though, ISSR Nostalgia is apparent in Adonia.

Continuation Era
On 20 April 2020, The Illinois Free Republic was formed, the organization was a continuation of the ISSR. The nation founded the "Harmony Accord" an organization meant to bring micronations together regardless of ideology or ideals. The Harmony Accord was disbanded around mid to the end of May 2020. The nation was disbanded in May following a lack of support from the leadership. The Democratic People's Republic of Adonia was created soon after and was the earliest form of Adonia. Adonia joined the Crimson Socialist Republic just before it dissolved in June 2020.

First Adonian Months
On 7 July, Foundation Day, The PRA was formed but known as the Adonian Free Sovetist Republic, with the help of Višeslav Brienović. However, Following accusations of attempting to turn the nation into a monarchy, Brienović and all the people he used to do this were removed. The Workers Party of Adonia took over on July 18th, 2020, Effectively making Adonia socialist. The creation of a constitution for Adonia began on August 1st and would finish a few days later. Following the creation of the Adonian Constitution, Adonia had a quick rise in instability and, On 8 August 2020, Premier Andrew Franson began to base Adonia on Germany, Poland, and Russia culturally and historically, and ideologically. This would then make Adonia a themed micronation. Adonia had also gained its first commune, known as the Kalamazoo Commune (Now Kalamazoo Governorate), on 8 August 2020.

Post Adonian Foundation Months
On 1 October 2020, three Adonian flags and one five-foot flag pole were stolen. Following this event, patriotism inside the Premier and its citizens increased and was noticeable by many outside observers. Following the October 1st Incident, Adonia began to refocus on building itself up. Adonia gained its last commune from 2020 in November, which was known as the Commune of Roosevelt. Adonia would begin to open up itself to the public in December of 2020 with RadioAdonia, The People's Scout League (WIP), and the Adonian Press Organization. On 6 December 2020, Friendship and Unity Square was opened. This would be Adonia's first official monument.

The 2021 Period
The 2021 Period had started with much success. Adonia gained two more communes (which would be later dropped in April) and its programs had proven to be successful. However, in the middle of February, the second inactivity crisis had occurred, where major inactivity had plagued the Adonian Nation. As a result, nothing was done in Adonia, and the Commune of Edes announced itself disbanded in March 2021. On 27 April 2021, Andrew Franson had decided to drop most communes except the Kalamazoo Governorate. Premier Andrew Franson said this in his statement on it. The People's Scout League (A Boy Scout/Komsomol Styled Group) was launched on 1 June 2021 following the completion of the Handbook on 31 May 2021. It was founded by Premier Andrew Franson, who saw it as an opportunity to localize Adonia and assist the community at the same time. He also saw it as a chance to "Be an Adonian Patriot and assist the community at the same time". As of the last update of this article, it is currently an organization on pause because of the Adonian Transitional Period

After much consideration, Two Communes have been dropped following concerns about keeping up with a workload, as well as the fact that Adonia worked amazingly with just two communes. Adonia needs to properly develop before it can take a huger workload. And the added fact of my current crisis of inactivity, I need to slow down, Recoup, and get back to it. Back when Adonia was just the Kalamazoo Commune, Things worked amazingly. And I need to continue that before I go further. The idea of communes will be suspended until further notice. All mentions of Communes on both the page of Kolkatism, The Adonian Microwiki page, as well as the official documents of Adonia, will remain." This changed once the Commune of Roosevelt was formed by Otto B in August of 2021.

Following the vast second inactivity crisis, The Commune of Roosevelt was formed on 10 August, and legislative work of vast quantities came back to Adonia. Just a month later, Adonia worked on hosting the Longhorn International Summit (now called The International Solidarity Conference) and hosted it on the 14 September. During and after the Summit, Premier Andrew Franson got the inspiration to create The Solidarity Front organization. So, on 30 September, it was created.

The Adonian Transitional Period
In late November of 2021, Andrew had discovered that he had lost his belief in left wing-economics and that he felt brainwashed by certain people into being left-wing, despite him not being left-wing. Andrew had been studying right-wing Political Theory for months previous, and had enough with what he said was "lying to himself and everyone else". Andrew, with 100% approval by the People's Politburo, had announced his intent to enact 'The Adonian Transitional Period'. The Adonian Transitional Period has an aim to leave its left-wing politics behind in favor of a Centrist, to Centre-Right Identity to move Adonia to be more inclined toward the actual political beliefs of its citizens, the government, and head of state. During the first part of the transitional phase, Otto B resigned from his post and announced the Commune of Roosevelt disbanded on 26 November. The period started with a change in Adonian Symbolism, particularly, the Adonian flag had also changed. Adonia also aims to change its ideology and political system as well to be more in line with what it should be. Adonia would then rename itself the Adonian Federation, or the Federation of Adonia, on 26 November. After this, the Workers Party of Adonia renamed itself the Adonian Torch Party, which now follows Adonian-Republicanism as its official ideology. The Torch Party released the '4 Fundamentals of the Adonian Masses' on the 28th of November, which is now the guiding fundamentals of the Adonian Transitional Period and aims to be the Fundamentals of the Torch party. Adonia also worked to change its templates and policies by following various plans and paths for it. On 21/01/2022, Andrew Franson declared himself a Dictator with Emergency Powers. He promised a 'New Deal, which aims to revive Adonia and improve upon Adonia without the slowed processes that the Legislature had allowed. These Emergency Powers were set to be in effect until Adonia is actively stable and active. Exactly 6 days later, a Citizenship form was enacted in Adonia that allowed for people to apply for Adonian Citizenship, with minor limitations, at any time. 14 days after the proclamation of emergency powers, the Kalamazoo Governorate was disbanded following the loss of communication and lack of activity in the Governorate. This marked the end of a year and 6 months of territory in Michigan for Adonia. Also on that day, the Ministry of Political Science was founded by Andrew Franson, which marked the official start of the Government opening up to the people.

Politics and government
The Adonian Government runs under the ideology known as Adonian-Republicanism. Each commune is able to elect its governors yet that has not taken place since late July 2020. Adonian-Republicanism is an ideology that holds beliefs that are similar to Centre-Right politics (including ideologies such as Classical Liberalism, and Republicanism), Centrism, Libertarianism, Isocracy, and policies of Isolationism. It holds the idea that mankind itself must become a self-relying and self-determining species that aims for its destiny as much as possible without intervention from the heads of society in any way, shape, or form. It calls for a Dictatorship of the masses, or People's Dictatorship, to accomplish proper control and focus on the People. Adonian-Republicanism emphasizes the freedom of the individual under the law and free markets.

The Adonian Government is headed by the Adonian Torch Party, an Adonian-Republican party within the Federation of Adonia. The Workers Party of Adonia has been in charge of Adonia since 18 July 2020.

Localization Plan
The Localization Plan was in force for the fall of 2020 and was deemed a failure. The Plan was to localize Adonia as much as possible and to get it out there. It was to first start in the Longhorn Area with the Premier's Family. This had failed horribly as they either didn't care or viewed Andrew as crazy. The next part of the plan was to localize with students in Andrew's School. This would create minor success but failures across the board. Very few had any interest in Adonia. Many, however, viewed Andrew as weird and would bully/make fun of him because of it. The plan was halted before the 3rd and final step was taken.

The FUS Project:
The FUS Project or the Friendship and Unity Square Project was a project to create a monument in the Adonian capitol of Longhorn.
