History
On the 21st of June 2018, the Titonian government organized a poll on whether or not to legalize cannabis for medicinal use. After two weeks of voting, it was announced that 74.4% of the population had decided to legalize cannabis. The effects of this law took place on the 15th of July 2018.

However, on the 25th of October 2018, the news had struck the elderly population, who were angered by this decision. As a result, they started a riot in the middle of Titonovia. The riot gained nation-wide attention. A total of 531 victims were brought to the hospital, with 23 victims having fatal wounds. The riot has been estimated to have caused damage worth up to $1,125,000.

Several of the riot starters were caught and were imprisoned, but several of them fled to the south-eastern part of Titonüi, where they stole Titonian land and started their own country. The result of this was the country Menaphos.
