Pre-Cyber Nations History
The nation of Davornia was founded in late 2004 in NationStates by a leader named Auscrow, who had purchased land from the Australian Government. The nation slowly grew to an impressive size until the drought of January '06. During this time, many of the empoverished farmers which formed the backbone of the country pleaded with the government for financial help. When none came, the Davornian Farmers Federation (the DFF) held many protests, to no avail. They soon realised that Auscrow was nothing but a puppet for corporate interests. So in a meeting on Feburary 12th 2006, the farmers made the tough decision to seccede from Davornia, forming the then titled "Independent State of Davornia" (ISoD). Auscrow and his government were outraged, and authorised military action against the DFF and the ISoD.

The Davornian Civil War
Unlike other civil wars, the Davornian version only lasted a few months. When the Government forces traveled the distance to the ISoD "capital" Eastfield they hadn't reckoned with the heat. When they faced the forces of the DFF in battle, only a small amount of the original troops were ready for batttle, and were soundly beaten. This easy defeat prompted Auscrow to hand over much of the old Davornia to DFF leader dsriggs. dsriggs refused in his historic speech where he said


 * "We shan't surrender until either Auscrow's street is flowing with his own blood, or the nation of Davornia belongs to the working classes!"

For fear of his own life, on the 10th of February, nearly one full year after the DFF secceded from Davornia, Auscrow offered dsriggs the use of the name Davornia, an extremely generous land offering, and his own title as ruler of Davornia, which dsriggs accepted. Auscrow is currently in exile in fear of ex-DFF rebel attacks.

Davornian Independence - Cyber Nations
The "New" Davornia was deemed independent by dsriggs on the 1st of March 2007, and was accepted into Cyber Nations the same day. The wheat farmers, who were responsible for the DFF succession, as well as the Davornian oil drillers formed the backbone of the new economy. This, a healthy military industry and a low tax rate has ensured that the traditional farming communities are among the highest-paid in the world.

Due to a general fear of outside interference, Davornia has remained a largely neutral nation. However, on the 14th of June 2007, Davornia was successful in its aplication for membership in the World Task Force, a non-violent alliance.

The Davornian nation seems safe for the time being.
