In accordance with Section III of the AMU Charter, the Republic of Avinenska has been expelled from the Antarctic Micronational Union, after the delegates of other member states unanimously voted for the expulsion.
The expulsion of the Republic of Avinenska marks the first time since 2016 that an AMU member state is being removed from the organization by a vote, rather than for inactivity. In 2016, the now-defunct Soviet Socialist Republic of Nadiria was expelled from the AMU for calling for the overthrow of the legitimate government of the Empire of Pavlov. Expulsion from the AMU does not preclude a nation from re-applying for membership at some point in the future, but no earlier than one year since the expulsion date. Antarctic claims of former members are no longer recognized by the AMU, though individual members may continue to engage in diplomatic relations with the expelled nation, provided they continue to act in the interest of the claims of other AMU members as they do so, to include members admitted after the expelled nation’s dismissal.
