Shortly after the foundation of the sixth Lovian place, Kinley, in 1903, the idea of a high-level subdivision arose among the citizens. In 1904 the Lovian Congress proposed the foundation of states, which was accepted June 20 of that year. This was set in action January 1, 1905, and Clymene, Kings, Oceana, Seven, and Sylvania were created. The first state elections were held in October 1905.
