On 31 October 2020, at the time of 7:58 PM CST, former prince Zarel Smith officially announced New Eiffel would be dissolving. Zarel Smith gave a long speech right before announcing New Eiffel is going to be dissolved. He mentioned it would be dissolving due to losing their territorial claims because a lot of residents had not been very keen on New Eiffel so, it lost its local claims. A nation is nothing without land claims. New Eiffel is to going to be officially dissolved later this week. He said he would do his best to try to bring it back.
The community will feel a big impact on New Eiffel dissolving it was one of the most if not the most well-respected nations in the community. It probably was also one of the micronations with the biggest MicroWiki presence with endless articles about New Eiffel films, symbols, transportation, and culture. "Over two years ago, I founded a micronation while vacationing in South Africa called New Finland. It was a republic and instantly fell into inactivity. Eventually, allegedly following some sort of a civil war it turned into a kingdom, and after a scandal caused by myself it reformed into a principality, the New Eiffel today we all now and love. Within two years, it quickly grew into a huge influential nation within the MicroWiki Sector, and attained membership in an array of organisations such as the GUM, the MOF, NADU, ComSov and CUP. It survived throughout the months-long Crisis, and a large number of micronationalists and micronations came to its aid and helped developed its political system and structure, started parties, and helped create a national identity for this nation. New Eiffel was flourishing with nature, and had hugely developed agriculture, transportation, national monuments and even architecture. We celebrated national holidays, created our own films, web series, music, literature, art and even comics. We grew national cuisine and even produced its own wine. We even opened a pop-up casino, luxury fashion brand, restaurant and an art gallery and currency museum. I cannot stress enough how much New Eiffel has meant to me and made me the person I am today. From being able to wake up everyday and get to work on creating a nation that I was very happy with, it seriously made me really happy, and I feel like I have gained a lot of experience from this.
There is no way to put into words how sad I am to announce this, but the other residents have not been so keen on New Eiffel and after a huge amount of talks I am unable to keep its territory, and New Eiffel is now without a physical territory with residents to reside in. I cannot claim a single room or a random field I have no authority over, and with this, comes the most unfortunate and regretful announcement that New Eiffel is to be officially dissolved later this week. After all the work that has gone into preserving New Eiffel as a nation and its government, policy, culture, media, structure and population, it seems to have been wasted. New Eiffel indeed had all the resources to keep going without me being active, however it requires a single territory with inhabitants, and, even if it found one, it would not be the same New Eiffel it is now. I would like to thank all members of government, citizens, workers, diplomats and every single one of you who helped make New Eiffel a great nation. As Garuda says, “with death comes rebirth”; and this is not the last you will see of New Eiffel. Eventually, I will work out a plan for its return... until than. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart."
