Prinsdinovia, officially the Republic of Prinsdinovia is an unrecognised breakaway state located in a clump of land within the Inner West of Sydney that is internationally recognised as part of Australia. Its capital and largest city is Reqqen. Transnistria has been recognised by only three other partially recognised micronations: the People's Republic of Nguyenistan, Badu Park Municipal Government and the Free Cities of Provincetown & Charleston.

Name

The name Prinsdinovia derives from no word conceived by mankind, and is simply made to sound Eastern European. Using incredibly complex translation methods, the name Prinsdinovia means 'land of the west'.

History

The Republic of Prinsdinovia was founded on 29 March 2019 on the traditional land of the Eora peoples as the Xahastan Free State by Xabier Asensio and Andrew Licherton, Andrew crowning himself monarch for life, there was much dispute about the government of the nation, Xabier believed it should be ruled as a socialist republic while Andrew believed it should be ruled as a monarchy. Shortly after the foundation of the state Xabier Asensio was exiled and the the name of the state was officially changed to the Principality of Xahastan and the first elections were held, with Andrew's proxy party the Xahastanian National Party winning 100% percent of the vote. the election was widely regarded as rigged. The Principality of Xahastan officially opened to tourists on the 19 June 2019 with the "Visit Xahastan Year 2019" campaign.

On the 29th of August 2019, the monarchy announced democratic reforms and the disassemblement of the Xahastanian National Party. Andrew Licherton then abducatded on behalf of his 5 year old son and on the 5th of September the Xahastanian Socialist Union lead a bloodless coup against the monarchy and Prince Licherton. The Principality of Xahastan then changed its name to the Free Republic of Xahastan. Shortly after the removal of the monarchy, founder Xabier Asensio formed a Free Officers Movement and on 15 March 2020 the Free Officers Movement lead a coup d'état against the republic installing a Marxis-Leninist regime.

On the 7th of September, the government allowed multi-party elections to take place. the following day the state de-nationalised its major industries and renounced Marxism Leninism and re-named the state to the Republic of Xahastan. The state briefly became the Kingdom of Praedium but was re-named back to the Republic of Xahastan soon after. On the 20th of February 2022 the Republic of Xahastan changed its name to the Republic of Prinsdinovia.

Geography

Prinsdinovia is landlocked and borders Australia around its entire boundary. Despite being landlocked the Republic of Prinsdinovia lays claim to a small stretch of Johnstons Creek and has a naval unit stationed in the area to protect its interest in the creek and Rozell Bay. The territory controlled by Prinsdinovia is mostly, but not completely, coincident with the camperdown oval. It includes 2 cities and towns, and 4 communes, with a total of 7 localities (counting the unincorporated ones as well). It also has a further 2 communes within the Johnstons Creek Military Protectorate. The main transportation route in Prinsdinovia is a walkway that spans around the entirety of the oval. The climate is temperate continental with subtropical characteristics. There are no airports or train stations within the Republic of Prinsdinovia.

Administrative divisions

The Republic of Prinsdinovia is divided into four districts and one military protectorate:

• Xahastan Capital District
• Wesreburg District
• Badu Park District
• Moseburg District
• Johnstons Creek Military Protectorate

Each of the districts is further divided into Soviets and Estates.

Political status

All UN member states consider Prinsdinovia a legal part of the Commonwealth of Australia. Only the partially recognised micronations of Nguyenistan, Badu Park, and Provincetown & Charleston have recognised Transnistria as a sovereign entity after it declared independence from Australia in 2019 with Reqqen as its declared capital. There are border issues between Prinsdinovia and Australia but no action has been taken on either sides.

Government

Prinsdinovia is a presidential republic. The president is directly elected for a maximum of two consecutive five-year terms. The current President is Xabier Asensio. The General People's Congress is a unicameral legislature. It theoretically has 25 members who are elected for 5-year terms. Elections take place within a multi-party system. The majority in the Parliament of Prinsdinovia belongs to the Prisdinovian Social Party that defeated the Pacific Socialist Union affiliated with Bjorn Anderson in 2022 and is projected to perform even better in the upcoming 2026 elections. Elections in Transnistria are not recognised by international bodies such as the South Pacific Commission, as well as numerous individual countries, who called them a source of increased rebellion.

Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament. The president is elected by popular vote. The latest parliamentary elections were held in 2021; however, they were not monitored by international organisations such as the South Pacific Commission, which has expressed doubts about the level of democracy in the region, and were not recognized by other countries.

There is disagreement as to whether elections in Prinsdinovia are free and fair. Organizations, such as the IWSMA (Inner West Sydney Micronational Association), have declared that no democratic elections can take place in the region and have refused to even monitor them. Both major parties engage in forms of voter intimidation and voter tampering.

2021 Elections

Some parties and publications were banned. Such as the Free Prinsdinovia Movement, which was a party running on a campaign of re-unification with Australia. The party was banned under the motive that the party's policies promoted treason. In Novemeber of 2021 the the Prisdinovian customs service banned the distribution of two publications: 'National Tribune' and 'Manifesto of the Pacific Socialist Union'. The reason cited was that both publications promoted and encouraged political violence from voters. The Prisdinovian Social Party won the election, but the legitimacy of this victory has been doubted.
