History

Trevastan:

The Trevastan Soviet Socialist Republic (TSSR), also commonly called Trevastan, was created by Trevor Horobik following an interest of his to create a micronation and it would join the Community in February 2020. However, Trevastan really started making any sort of move in April of 2020, when Andrew Franson formed the Harmony Accord. Trevastan would join the Harmony Accord at the end of April 2020. At this time, Trevastan was an inactive micronation that did no more than participate in the Harmony Accord. At the beginning of May, Trevor would get himself into controversy when he messaged a follower of K-Pop, sending them a message about how this person was a "Nazi" and that they should leave the micronational community alone. The K-Poppers response to this was to post about the message, causing Trevor to get into short controversy. Trevastan was removed from the Harmony Accord, but was later allowed back in since the vote to remove Trevastan was considered unfair. Trevastan would remain in the Harmony Accord until the collapse of the Harmony Accord in Mid-May 2020.

Post Harmony Accord History:

Trevastan remained mainly inactive following the collapse of the Harmony Accord. Sometime in May, however, Andrew Franson offered Trevastan a place in the DPRA, the earliest form of Adonia. Trevor denied this offer, and instead focused on the Crimson Socialist Republic (CSR), which he would later let annex Trevastan. In late May, The DPRA dissolved and joined the CSR. Trevastan would follow suit.

CSR History:

Trevastan joined the CSR officially and formed the Gilmore Region. This region claimed the same territory the Modern Day Kalamazoo Commune claims. The Gilmore region remained a mix of inactive and active, making suggestions and assisting the head of state of the CSR. The Gilmore Region was one of the regions that remained at the right hand side of the head of state of the CSR, assisting in whatever they had needed at the best of the Gilmore Regions ability. However, Andrew Franson, agitated with the lack of independence and the way the relationship between him and the CSR head of state had been going, convinced Trevor to leave the CSR and either leave micronationalism, stay in Micronationalism with a micronation or without a micronation, and to leave the CSR. The Adonia Region declared itself disbanded and the Gilmore Region followed. The CSR would disband itself just hours after.

History in Adonia:

Following the dissolution of the Gilmore Region, Trevor remained relatively quiet in micronationalism. Though, He remained close and good friends with Andrew Franson. Following the foundation of the Federation of Adonia (at the time, AFSR), Trevor assisted in the foundation of the Adonian Torch Party (At the time, known as the Workers Party of Adonia, WPA) and became one of its first members. Trevor assisted the founder of the WPA in convincing Andrew that Ludwig (at the time, known as Ivan) was taking advantage of Andrew in order to gain more power in Adonia and the community as a whole. With the WPA and other parties, Ivan and the 30+ people he had invited to Adonia were banned from Adonia and Adonian Politics.

The many people who had joined Adonia to remove Ludwig from Adonian Politics began to leave. Trevor is the only one who had remained in Adonian Politics for a long time.

Following the creation of the Adonian Constitution, On 8 August, 2020, Trevor formed the Kalamazoo Governorate. The Kalamazoo Governorate was the first Adonian Region, the First Governorate under Adonia, and is the oldest Adonian Governorate. The Kalamazoo Governorate is currently (as of the last update of this article) the only Adonian Governorate. The Kalamazoo Governorate has assisted in the foundation of the Agricultural Society of Adonia, or the ASA. It has had a big part in the Adonian Transition as well, considering its been the only governorate in Adonia.
