Hellenic Republic of Cimbrun

The **Hellenic Empire of Cimbrun** (Greek: Ελληνική Αυτοκρατορία του Τσιμπρονού, romanized Greek: Ellinikí Aftokratoría tou Tsimpronoú), also known as Cimbrun or Tsimmproún, is a sovereign state, commonly called a "micronation" by outside observers, created by an edgy greekaboo and the latest incarnation of the Cimbrunese Imperium. It plans on obtaining land in the State of Oklahoma within the United States, with both an outward and a colonial expansion planned afterwards. Initially established as the Empire of Orini in 2018, Cimbrun is an absolute monarchy, although the Basileus does take advice from several Advisors once a week. It is currently working on a revival after the nation went into a hiatus.

## Etymology and denonyms

Initially, the Empire was known as Orini, which had come from a generator that is now assumed lost. Its citizens were known as Orinians, and the news site now known as the Cimbrun Tribune was called the Orini Tribune (hence, its link being "orinitribute" rather "cimbruntribune", the usage of "tribute" rather than "tribune" a misspelling on the Basileus' end.) However, the last incarnation of Cimbrun to be known as Orini, the Second Empire, fell to inactivity and being divided up amongst several other micronations due to the Great Micronational War in 2019, with Robert Smith of what is now the Republic of Elysium requiring a name change in order to grant Cimbrun independence. As Cimbrun was the name of the capital of Orini at the time, it was chosen.

The denonym for a citizen or group of citizens of Cimbrun, as well as the adjective for Cimbrun, is Cimbrunese.

## History

### Foundation

The first incarnation of Orini was founded sometime during 2019 most likely January or February. It was very immature and simulationist at this point, joining in such horrid activities such as raiding, and immediately got banned from Vryland (2018-2019), as the then-Emperor had a temporary lapse of sanity in front of the former King of Vryland, as well as one involving Krainego. It got involved in a UN-style YAMO, where the Emperor found a case in favor of Cycoldia instead of Etukan, leading to a Great Micronational War that was settled after the Emperor backed out after accidentally raiding a neutral party. The first incarnation fell soon after the war due to being nuked, and from the backlash from the community regarding the Hostile Takeover of 1st LIN, perpetrated by Cimbrun.

### Second and Third incarnations of Cimbrun

The second incarnation of Cimbrun suffered from inactivity, loss of "land" due to losing the Great Micronational War, and was also nuked after the then-Imperator gave out the admin role at his own whims. Overall, the second incarnation was a failure, and a third was founded after a short exile. It, too, fell to inactivity, though this was the first time an Orinian or Cimbrunese server wasn't nuked.

### Meeting Desslok

In August 2019, the then-Imperator met Desslok V. Nafage, a leader of the Nexan Republic. Desslok started to mentor the Imperator, with Cimbrun temporarily being annexed by the Nexans on peaceful terms at one point, and the Basileus gradually improved, even stopping the raids Orini or Cimbrun was known for and making the Empire a serious micronation with proper goals and secessionist ideology. The two have been friends for almost 2 years, albeit on-and-off as of late due to meddling from a so-called "friend" of the Basileus'.

### Imperium of Orini-Cimbrun

The Imperium of Orini-Cimbrun was founded after a 3-month exile after the events of the third Incarnation, and was active on Twitter for a time, joining an alliance of states in the Ozarks founded there known as the AOMN as well as the LIN. It became inactive fairly quickly, however, and eventually, the so-called "friend" (who is considered an enemy of the state), who goes by Yuki, convinced Alyx to go on an exile, which he briefly returned from only to come back yet again.

### Hellenic Empire of Cimbrun

The Hellenic Empire of Cimbrun was founded on February 13th, 2021. It was meant to focus on the Hellenic faith, though it is not a theocracy, and multiple Advisors have been appointed since. With this change, the Imperator changed his title from his former one, which was Latin for emperor, to Basileus, which is Greek for king. Cimbrun aims to get involved in the local micronational area, as well as gain diplomatic allies and seek forgiveness for its past actions (including recent ones.) They have given diplomatic support to Wegmat in the Great Des Plaines Valley War, an exception to the rule against war since allies' territories have been physically occupied. They also kickstarted support for Nexan claims in the Vancouver Island territorial dispute, only to go on hiatus for 20 days from May 4th to May 24th. It has since primarily participated in the LIN and on Twitter.

## Flags

There are two flags of Cimbrun: the Cimbrunese Banner and the Irikladis Dynasty banner. The Cimbrunese banner is used for the country and its people, while the Irikladis Dynasty banner is used for the ruling Irikladis Dynasty. Each territory purchased or ceded to Cimbrun by others will have its own flag as well, with the flags being created as they are purchased.

## Culture

Cimbrunese culture is primarily American with Hellenic influences. However, Cimbrun has never held a census, and as such, information is limited.

### Language

Cimbrun's lingua franca is English, however, Greek is an official language. The Basileus plans to create a creole conlang, Cimbrunese, which shall serve as an official language as well.

### National Symbols

The national plant of Cimbrun is the olive tree, and the national animal is the chicken, like cowards they are

### Religion

Hellenism is the state religion, with a cultus to Zeus (not a cult in the modern sense) to be dedicated once the nation reaches 50 citizens. However, all religions are accepted within the nation, and as such, the nation will not support the proselytizing of citizens.

### Media

All media is state-run. The Cimbrun Tribune is a digital newspaper that serves the citizens of Cimbrun, and a YouTube channel and website are planned.
