Early History
The nation was founded on the 22nd of September 2022 by Joseph Tadd and co-founder James Collins under the name 'Kingdom of Leafland' with Tadd as the King and Collins as the first Prime Minister. A few days later however, the Prime Minister broke multiple laws - which the exact laws were lost - and was banished from the country. We do know he recieved 18 counts of resisting arrest, though. Since the Prime Minister was gone, Leafland temporarily became an Absolute Monarchy, it remained like this for a couple of days.
Mid-History: The Dispute & War.
The Kingdom of Leafland switched to a presidential system and started to unite with the surrounding territories. These territories included Grassland, Dirtland (Now Bedland), The Northern Plot and Bubba's Buffet. The government system change also prompted a name change with the new name being the 'Leafland Union'. Bubbalend was not happy however, as Bubba's Buffet was the leading source of income for the country and a dispuite over the area was formed. A few days later, Leafland declared war without the knowledge of the leaders of Bubbalend and invaded the territory. When the leaders where notified, they defended harshly and pushed back the Leaflandic troops to the border where they remained at a stalemate. Though, the enemy troops found a weak point and pushed inwards, quickly annexing Bubba's Buffet and the entire northern section of Leafland before regrouping and advancing southward. They eventually captured the entire nation. The president, however, decided to ragebait the Bubbalend Prime Minister causing him to sign a peace deal where no sides gained or lost anything. The prime minister was later deported back to Guernsey where he started his own micronation that dissolved after 3 days. Soon after, Bubbalend and Leafland both became allies and signed a treaty that gave Bubba's Buffet to Leafland as long as Bubbalend citizens could access Bubba's Buffet as they please.
Latest History
In mid-2023, Leafland united for the final time with former micronation Swagnation after the old leader left the island. It was then renamed to the Finn Greening State to honor and remember the old leader. The country also changed its name from the Leafland Union to the 'United States of Leafland'. Currently, the Finn Greening State has the second highest HDI in the country, just behind Leafland City and is now one of the most culturally rich places in the country with the most spoken language being native (Aba/Ada).

Lyrics:
First Verse: Oh, thy Leafland, I wish to see, The origin of splendid truth for me. Life's fulfillments never shall end, Thy country is my spend!
Second Verse: A home for all to share and give, Where every day in peace we live. We shall not yield to lies that stray, For my people clear the way. Thy country is my spend!
Thrid Verse: Hope shines bright, love stands true, Bound by bonds we'll not undo. Together now, and without end, Thy country is my spend!
Final Verse: Priceless, beyond any measure or debt, No regrets for the path we've set. Fear fades away; my country is near, At last, peace surrounds us here. Thy country is my spend!
