Menaphos

Menaphos was a small self-proclaimed republic located on a small plot of land in the south-eastern parts of Titonüi, bordering Zamolodchikova to the west, and Diversia to the east. It was only recognized by Nuevo Province, Rhosỳna, Shairia, Violía and Xobrania.

On the 11th of February 2019, at 13:32 (ZSIT +1), all of the citizens of Menaphos died due to ingestion of tide pod fluid-injected fruits, sent by Titonüi in an attempt to poison the country and take back their land.

On the 18th of March 2019, the country had officially finished cleaned up, and citizens of Titonüi started inhabiting the town. It was renamed from Menaphos to Tiosoo.

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.

In early November 2018, Wirefly connections were shut off to the land of Menaphos. Wirefly connections were available in Menaphos prior to this, since the territory was Titonian before being stolen. Trains, buses, flights and other forms of transportation to visit Menaphos were also shut off during this time.

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.

In December 2018, the country had not been going as well as planned. The population steadily started to decline, dropping from 548 inhabitants to 387 in the matter of 4 weeks. The reason behind the sinking population was most likely due to food shortage, no support from neighbouring countries and illnesses. On February 2019, the country only had 70 citizens.

On 11 February 2019, Titonüi proceeded to send a fruit basket to the country, in an attempt to aid them. The decision was met with a ton of confusion, until it was later revealed that the fruit in the fruit basket were injected with tide pod fluid, and that it was sent in an attempt to poison the country and quietly end it once and for all. This ultimately worked, and as a result ended the country. Titonüi started taking back their land, and is currently clearing the land in order to inhabit it again.
