Inevan History

Conception
Following the events of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israeli Rabbis and Jewish philosophers were rattled by the turmoil of the region and sought to establish a second Zionist state in a safer, more convenient location. The purpose of this state would be to bolster trade, alliances, and the Jewish identity, as well as to preserve Zionism. These figureheads established a committee known in English as the Coalition of Zionist Preservation and Expansion (C.Z.P.E.). Eventually, the C.Z.P.E. settled on pursuing an island archipelago off the coasts of Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, which had primarily been uninhabited and underdeveloped, save for a few Portuguese settlements.

The Southern Archipelago
To secure the southern islands, which were then under Moroccan authority, the C.Z.P.E. co-founder and co-Minister Ezra Baron arranged numerous meetings with Moroccan King Hassan II. Morocco had recently sustained significant political turmoil alongside two coup regimes, which propelled the C.Z.P.E. to utilize the nature of the situation. On 30 May, 1975, a year and a half after initial conversations began, Morocco relinquished the five islands in exchange for Mossad security intelligence, an undisclosed amount of money, and a substantial amount of military equipment. On 30 August, 1975, the first Israeli colonists arrived on the islands and began developing pivotal infrastructure on the northeastern portion of Nadiot, the largest island of Ineva. On 5 September, 1975, the Inevan flag was flown for the first time as a colony of Israel.

The Northern Archipelago
The C.Z.P.E. still had its sights on the islands to the north, which included Spanish-controlled Hemoso and Portuguese-controlled Tagova and Parteg. On 7 April, 1977, a deal between Ineva and Portugal mediated by Israel arose: For an undisclosed amount of money, Ineva would gain jurisdiction over Tagova and Parteg under the conditions that Portugal could maintain Portuguese military outposts, Portuguese inhabitants of the islands would automatically gain dual citizenship with Ineva, tender boats could visit Ineva without significant restriction, and Portuguese ships could dock in Ineva during times of war or crisis. After some negotiation, the deal was enacted on 18 April, 1977.

The Spanish-controlled island of Hemoso was not negotiated until 2002; on 22 July, 2002, Ineva purchased Hemoso from Spain for ~€8.250.000.000 (~€14.430.000.000 when adjusted for inflation).

Inevan Independence
On 15 December, 1977, Israeli President Ephraim Katzir and C.Z.P.E. co-founder and co-Minister Daniele Regev met in Ashvekov, Ineva, to declare Ineva an independent sovereign state. From this point on, Ineva was officially referred to as The Theocratic Republic of Ineva by foreign bodies.

On 16 December, 1979, Ineva was recognized and admitted as a member state of the United Nations (UN). This is when it is said that Ineva became a fully independent nation, not just a state.

C.Z.P.E. Dissolution
On 15 January, 1980, Regev and the remaining C.Z.P.E. members dissolved the committee. In a statement publicized days after the organization's retirement, Regev wrote, "The C.Z.P.E. is, without doubt, the greatest success Ineva has seen thus far... Yet, I do not doubt that even greater success will soon come."

Inevan Capital
Between 26 and 28 March, 1981, Ashvekov became the official capital city of Ineva. Former politician and Israel Defence Forces (I.D.F.) Chief of Staff Tzvi Tzur contested this decision, proposing that the capital of Ineva should be Zai'ir, the central hub of the island of Zai. However, this proposition garnered little support, so Ashvekov received the designation.
