Thanks everyone for the insights and questions. They made me examine different scenarios and the best course of action. 

An update:

August 16 - I submitted 3 affidavits;

• From me - explaining in detail the circumstances that led to me being away and that I have been in the US for 5 years since my prolonged absence as well as reasons for not having a paper trail.
• From my friend where I was staying - explaining that he was aware that my absence was temporary, that he kept "my room" during my absence and that we were constantly on my status. He also explained that the agreement for financial contributions towards expenses was verbal based on the fact that we have known each other for a long time.
• From my parents - Explaining that I stayed in his house the entire time I was away from the US and that he was aware that I was only there to raise money by selling assets.

I also got a screenshot of the announcement for the shutdown.

These are the only documents I submitted.

 

August 10 - USCIS acknowledged receipt of my documents.

September 11 - I recieved a notice that my application was approved and I should attend a naturalization ceremony.

 

 

congratulation.

This is amazing!

People were wrong to write OP's case off so easily -- the presumption of breaking continuity of residence <1 year is, by law, rebuttable -- but I wouldn't say it was "a simple case." I'm surprised USCIS accepted only affidavits, but glad to see OP show some creativity and make lemonade out of lemons.
