Founding
The nation of Zefrania was founded in the city of Acodon on the 28th of December 2021 by Zedis Eydur (Orleborle) The current Tenoch (King of the Zefranians) and TGOMaster the current chancellor. It was founded as a rebellious state, violently breaking of from the Sinatra-Mafia on the 28-12-2021.

The Capital of Acodon was originally founded in the Sinatra-Mafia. The nation has since fought the Sinatra-Mafia for it's freedom and ownership of these territories.

The Tenoch and Chancellor defined the nations ideoligy as a constitutional monarchy.

The Zefranian War of Independence
After many months of preparations the Acodonian government made their official announcement of independence. In an attempt to bribe the leader of Yanren Greentomato5, Orleborle was killed and had his netherite gear stolen. This further angered the rebels, who would not give in to any demands from the Sinatran Government, and eventually the Sinatra-Mafia made their annoucenment that the rebellion would be crushed. The rebels did not loose morale though. Even after the citizens of Acodon had been terrorized by countless acts of banditry by GreenTomato5 and Ddtfy morale did not fall. The people was determained on winning this conflict what ever the cost may be. After a day a time of the battle was settled, the battle would start on the 29th of December 2021 8pm CET. The Zefranian army was made up of around 15 people, against the Sinatran army made up of 6 people. As time dragged on player Junkybunky of Zefrania was sent out to scout ahead to see what the Zefranian army would be up against. When they got the news back that 6 people was in the capital, the group started laughing as they prepared for the Sinatran attack. Then a Sinatran scout was spotted, immediatly the player Lucioio jumped at him in an attempt to kill him but failed. It ended up with Wacko asking Orleborle to surrender, the players: Beast, TGOMaster, Orleborle and Wacko decided to meet up in Solisios as that was the only safe place at that moment. As the terms of surrender was drafted the Zefranian and mercinaries was creating mayhem through out the Sinatran country side. First Sinatra city was raided then Yanren. As the Treaty of Luxios was signed, the weapons went silent upon Sinatran surrender. Finally at long last Zefrania had achieved freedom. Later it would be found out that the bandits hired by Zefrania had stolen over 50k in valuables from Acodon. But thanks to these bandits and mercinaries Zefrania was free. After the war it was agreed that the most important person in the war was Jamesk799, who survived and even managed to kill some enemies, only wearing iron armor.

Sinatran-Zefranian Border Dispute
The nation of Sinatra currently claims most of the Zefranian territories, which the Zefranians will not accept, therefor it has resulted in a war. The war is not yet planned.
