'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
===Government===<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 5 months with every Legislative Election.<br />
<br />
===Political Parties===<br />
<br />
'''First Party System'''<br />
<br />
The 4 major political parties of the first party system in Imperium Aquilae were:<br />
<br />
▪︎Royalist Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
''Royalist Party'':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Renaissance Party'':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
'' People's Socialist Labour Party'':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Party of V.Ramos''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The 2 major political parties of the second party system in Imperium Aquilae are:<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
===Government===<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 3 months with every Legislative Election.<br />
===Political Parties===<br />
<br />
'''First Party System'''<br />
<br />
The 4 major political parties of the first party system in Imperium Aquilae were:<br />
<br />
▪︎Royalist Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
''Royalist Party'':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Renaissance Party'':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
'' People's Socialist Labour Party'':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Party of V.Ramos''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
===Government===<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 3 months with every Legislative Election.<br />
===Political Parties===<br />
<br />
'''First Party System'''<br />
<br />
The 4 major political parties of the first party system in Imperium Aquilae were:<br />
<br />
▪︎Royalist Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
''Royalist Party'':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Renaissance Party'':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
'' People's Socialist Labour Party'':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party.

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
===Government===<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 3 months with every Legislative Election.<br />
===Political Parties===<br />
<br />
'''First Party System'''<br />
<br />
The 4 major political parties of the first party system in Imperium Aquilae were:<br />
<br />
▪︎Royalist Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
''Royalist Party'':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Renaissance Party'':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
'' People's Socialist Labour Party'':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Party of V.Ramos''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
===Government===<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 3 months with every Legislative Election.<br />

The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Renaissance Party'':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
'' People's Socialist Labour Party'':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
''Party of V.Ramos''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
===Activity within Hellenic micronationalism===<br />
Imperium Aquilae has played an important role in the developments of the [[Greek sector]] of micronationalism.Emperor Alcibiades I has served both as General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary of the League of Hellenic Micronations.Imperium Aquilae joined the League during the spring of 2020 and has since played an important role in its function.The greatest contribution of the Empire however,has been the creation,and signing of the [[Treaty of Larissa]],which protects Greek micronations from unwanted foreign influence.The Treaty was put into effect on January 21st 2021.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

The '''Imperial Guard''' of [[Imperium Aquilae]] (formed on October 10th 2019) is the nations main military unit,responsible for the Defence of the Empire.Although it is mainly used for ceremonial purposes,it does take arms in case of a military threat against the Empire.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Imperial Guard was formed on October 10th 2019 in the aftermath of the Imperial declaration of independence.Viceroy Christos Sevastianos was appointed as captain of the unit,as he was deemed fit to lead it by Emperor [[Alcibiades I]].<br />
<br />
The Guard has fought in the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]],in which it swiftly managed to put down the [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle|communist insurgency]]. During the battle of Fort Demetrius it managed to defeat the anti-government forces only with a few shots from the Imperial Guard's 20mm air pistol. The insurgents realised that any kind of resistance would be futile due to the Guard's superior weaponary and so they surrendered ending the short civil war.The 25th of April was made into the unit's anniversary to commemorate the victory in the Battle of Fort Demetrius.<br />
<br />
After the war the Imperial Guard was tasked with the arrest of the insurgent leaders and made sure none of them would escape during the trial that followed.<br />
<br />
==Engagements==<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
'''Government'''<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch.

'''Political Parties'''<br />

<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
===Counties===<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the homonymous county and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while the 15 Chapels (the biggest) are also a county of their own.The county of Sebastianburg created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021.The rest of the counties are located on the 3 Forts of the Empire: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

===Grand Duchy of Paionia===<br />
<br />
[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it was integrated into Imperium Aquilae. It was established years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and the Duchy became a junior partner in a personal union under Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia,it was decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae,in fear of it falling into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the largest subdivision of Imperium Aquilae by both area and population.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===First Steps===<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
===from Lysimachia to GUM membership=== <br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia]]<br />
'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat.On March 10, 2021 it became part of the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than ones previously in effect.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a self-administered territory claiming sovereignty, often referred to as a "micronation" or "new nation project" by outside observers. The state is located at the Greek Peninsula of the Balkans, in South-Eastern Europe, with cultural, ethnic and religious ties to Greece. Imperium Aquilae considers itself a cultural successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, as well as the direct inheritor state to the Empire of Lysimachia. The state was founded on October 4th 2019 .The Imperial administration claims sovereignty over several enclaves landlocked by Greece, in the region of Thessaly.<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a constitutional monarchy led by Basileus and Autokrator, [[Alcibiades I]]. The Empire considers itself an inheritor of eastern roman and, as an extent, an inheritor of roman culture. The primary collective purpose of the state is to continue eastern roman imperial traditions and form bonds with micronations with similar background. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

The members of the Imperial House are considered the direct descendants or close relatives of the founder of Imperium Aquilae, Alcibiades I. The members of the House automatically acquire the rank of ''Patrikios'' (male) or ''Patrikia'' (female). A Patrikios or Patrikia that have been assigned to govern a County or a Autonomous Duchy get promoted to the rank of ''Despotas'' or ''Despotissa''.The Current Head of the House of Ionia is the Emperor and its founder Alcibiabes Rafael Ionios I.<br />
<br />
From April 20, 2020 the House of Ionia held the '''Crown of Paionia''' due to the coronation of Alcibiades I as Grand Duke of Paionia, after the resignation of Helena I. After the integration of Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, Alcibiades stepped down handing the throne of Paionia to his cousin Patrikia Mariah Ionia, promoting her to ''Despotissa Mariah I of Ionia, Grand Duchess of Paionia''.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organization with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attempted a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to strengthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several disagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccessful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, 6 of which located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa,with 1 (Arni) being located near the town of Karditsa and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivision of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />
'''Government'''<br />
<br />
Imperium Aquilae is a parliamentary monarchy,in which the executive and judicial branches are in the power of the Imperator alone, while the monarch and the parliament are responsible for the legislative branch. The Parliament has 4 members which are elected every 3 months with every Legislative Election.<br />
<br />
'''Political Parties'''<br />
<br />
''1st Party System''<br />
<br />
The 4 major political parties of the first party system in Imperium Aquilae were:<br />
<br />
▪︎Royalist Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly referred as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authorities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disastrous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />

''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the State comes from the latin words imperium (“power, command”), from imperō (“command, order”), from im- (form of in) + parō (“prepare, arrange; intend”) and aquila ("eagle") and can be translated in English as "Empire of the Eagle".The greek name ''Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού'' is also official and used alongside the latin name in state and often in international documents.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />
==Government and Politics==<br />

▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authotities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disasterous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[Thomas Marios I, Emperor of Ovrestlia|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14, 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11, 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15, 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28, 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20, 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10, 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />
<br />

<br />
▪︎Renaissance Party<br />
<br />
▪︎PSL Party<br />
<br />
▪︎Party of V.Ramos<br />
<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4, 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16, 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10, 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26, 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authotities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16, 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disasterous election.On March 10, 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12 by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16, 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />

The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10th 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26th 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, was a centre-right paternalistic conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authotities and empowering the parliament. It was the second biggest in popularity party and it appealed to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disasterous election.On March 10th 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

<br />
From April 20th 2020 the House of Ionia held the '''Crown of Paionia''' due to the coronation of Alcibiades I as Grand Duke of Paionia, after the resignation of Helena I. After the integration of Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, Alcibiades stepped down handing the throne of Paionia to his cousin Patrikia Mariah Ionia, promoting her to ''Despotissa Mariah I of Ionia, Grand Duchess of Paionia''.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10th 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disasterous election.On March 10th 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,commonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, was a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective was to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it was by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.On March 10th 2021 it together with elements of the Renaissance party formed the [[Aristocratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,it recovered after the previous disasterous election.On March 10th 2021 it along with the Party of V.Rammos and some members of the PSLP formed the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]] <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) was a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.With the party being effectively dissolved most voters of the PSLP currently support the [[Democratic Party of Imperium Aquilae]].<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat. <br />

The '''election''' was held on the 21st of February 2021 to determine the second Secretary-General of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]]. The election was called prematurely at the halfway point of [[Emmanuel I & II]]'s second tenure as SG of the League, due to his imminent 9-month service in the [[w:Hellenic Army|Hellenic Army]].

However, and due to reduced activity in the weeks before the scheduled elections, it was agreed by the active members to extend the term of office of the SG for a second 6-month period.<br />
<br />
On 14 January, Emmanuel Ι & II informed the members of the League that he intended to resign from the post because of his imminent military service in the Greek Army in March of that year.

The '''election''' was held on the 21st of February 2021 to determine the second Secretary-General of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]]. The election was called prematurely at the halfway point of [[Emmanuel I & II]]'s second tenure as SG of the League, due to his imminent 9-month service in the [[w:Hellenic Army|Hellenic Army]]. This was the second election in the League's history.Quintus De Vitaliis won narrowly by just 1 vote and chose Alcibiades I as his Deputy Secretary General.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The first-ever election for the then-newly established office of the Secretary-General of the League was held on May 2020, with Emmanuel I & II emerging as the victor and selecting Thomas Marios I for the Vice-Chair. The term of office had then been set at six months, with the next election scheduled for November 2020. However, and due to reduced activity in the weeks before the scheduled elections, it was agreed by the active members to extend the term of office of the SG for a second 6-month period.<br />
<br />
On 14 January, Emmanuel Ι & II informed the members of the League that he intended to resign from the post because of his imminent military service in the Greek Army in March of that year. On the 1st of February an official election roadmap was released, setting the vote for the 21st of February.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

The party’s main objective is to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,recovering after the previous disasterous election. <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />
The Party was created after Minister of Finance V.Ramos decided to run against Christos Sevastianos.After the initial election ended in a tie with each party getting 3 votes,in the runoff election 1 week afterwards it only managed to get 2 votes and 1 seat. <br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled.

The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.<br />
<br />
'''Party of V.Ramos'''<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />

Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.They only got 1 seat in the March 5th 2021 election,although this was largely due to the fact that they ran together with the Renaissance party.Cristos Sevastianos once again was sworn in as Chancellor.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.In the March 5th 2021 Election,where the party ran together with the royalist party and managed to get 2 out of 4 seats,recovering after the previous disasterous election. <br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.The PLSP due to the lack of popular support after the resignation of John Mylo,did not take part in the May 5th 2021 election.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia ]]<br />
'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />

The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,mcommonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, is a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective is to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26th 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, is a centre-right conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authotities and empowering the parliament. Its the second biggest in popularity party and it appeals to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.<br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia ]]<br />
'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />

The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,mcommonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, is a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective is to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

Its the second biggest in popularity party and it appeals to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.<br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 7 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire.The latest county to join the Empire is Arni created on February 28th 2021 The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

[[File:Paionia.png|left|thumb|200px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of Paionia ]]<br />
'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
==Ideology of State==<br />
The Imperial Crown and the Government of Imperium Aquilae have adopted as an official principle of policy that the Empire continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider itself ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]].It also takes inspiration from the [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], continuing its military tradition. The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

<br />
'''Royalist Party''':<br />
The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,mcommonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, is a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective is to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />
The Renaissance Party, formed on March 26th 2020 by former Royalist Party Deputy Leader Socrates Johnson, is a centre-right conservative party, that calls for reducing the monarchs authotities and empowering the parliament. Its the second biggest in popularity party and it appeals to more moderate voters. The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.<br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 6 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg the Latest county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire. The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />

The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imperium Aquilae both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials, where as the German influence can be seen in the military honours of the state.<br />

The Royalist Party of Imperium Aquilae,mcommonly refered as just the Royalist Party or the Royalists, founded on October 4th 2019, is a right-wing monarchist party. The party’s main objective is to aid the Imperator in the legislative branch of goverment as well as keep him in power. Founded by Viceroy Christos Sevastianos, it is by far the most popular party in the Empire, having won more than half of the seats in the July 2020 elections. The Party lost its Majority during the December 16 2020 election, getting the same number of votes as the PSLP, but Christos Sevastianos retained his position as Chancellor in the coalition government.<br />
<br />
'''Renaissance Party''':<br />

The Party suffered a major blow during the December 16 2020 election, managing to get only 1 seat in the Parliament.<br />
<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.<br />

'''Imperium Aquilae''' (Greek: Αυτοκρατορία του Αετού) is a micronation located in Greece. It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Division==<br />
Imperium Aquilae consists of 6 counties, located in close proximity to each other in the city of Larisa, Greece and the autonomous Grand Duchy of Paionia.<br />
<br />
'''Counties''':<br />
The Capital of the Empire, Cladarchia is located in the county with the same name and is the second biggest settlement of the Empire,while 15 Chapels (the biggest) is also a county on its own.Sebastianburg the Latest county created on January 15th 2021 is the 3rd most populous in the Empire. The other 3 counties are the 3 Forts of the nation: Fort Alexander, Fort Voras and Fort Demetrius. All counties (except Cladarchia) have governors responsible for the enforcement of laws, as well as for overlooking the electoral process in order to better manage the territories of the Empire. Each Governor has to report to the Emperor at least once per month about any news and events in their respective county.<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

<br />
''' People's Socialist Labour Party''':<br />
The People's Socialist Labour Party,(commonly refered to as the PSLP or the Socialists) is a left-wing socialist party that aims to give parliament sole power, social equality and the abolishment of the monarchy, or the transformation of it into a crowned republic. Founded on October 12th by George Baji, it used to be the second most popular party in the empire until the [[Civil War of Imperium Aquilae]]. During that conflict the socialist party attempted a coup against the monarchy. After the failure of the Coup d'etat the people lost faith in the PSLP, and its leader and head of the insurgency, George Baji, was exiled. John Mylo, a member of the PSLP that denounced the coup. was elected as the new leader of the party. The Party resurged during the December 16 2020 elections where it tied with the Royalist Party in votes and formed a coalition government with it.<br />

On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />
<br />

'''Grand Duchy of Paionia''':<br />
The [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] used to be an independent micronation before it became a part of Imperium Aquilae. It was even founded years earlier, on April 20 2017. However it soon fell into inactivity, until the 4th of April 2020, 3 years after its establishment, when [[Alcibiades I]] was crowned Grand Duke after the resignation of Helena I and it became the junior partner in a personal union with Imperium Aquilae. Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more. After the integration, the grand duchy was given a modest amount of self government. Mariah I Ionian was given the title of Grand Duchess on September 10th 2020 after Alcibiades I stepped down. Paionia is by far the biggest and most populous subdivion of Imperium Aquilae.<br />

The empire claims a small part of the city of Larisa and several pieces of land in northern Greece. Its Motto is "Fides et Honores"(“Loyalty and Honor”). Its Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It was a constituent state of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] until its dissolution. The Empire is one of the few active Greek micronations.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Imperium Aquilae's Founder and Emperor is [[Alcibiades I]]. It declared its Independence from Greece on 4 October 2019. On 5 October the first Chancellor of the country, Christos Sevastianos was sworn into office.<br />
Imperium Aquilae became one of the founding members of the [[Organization of Allied Micronations]] and Emperor Alcibiades I became the first Chairman of the Organization on 9 April 2020. On 20 April 2020 the micronation joined the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]], an organaziation with the purposes of development of diplomacy, mutual recognition, peace and cooperation between Hellenistic Micronations. On 5 May the state left the OAM and Alcibiades I resigned, after it was judged that it had no real purpose, as it mostly was in a state of inactivity.<br />
<br />
On 24 April 2020 the biggest crisis in the young Empire’s history took place. Labour Minister George Baji along with parliament member Spyros Tambos attemped a pro-Socialist [[w:Coup d'etat|coup d'etat]]. However the movement failed to attract supporters and the short-lived [[People's Republic of the Red Eagle]] was defeated on 26 April at the battle of Fort Voras. All of the insurgents were found guilty of treason and exiled from Imperium Aquilae.<br />
<br />
On 6 may 2020 the Empire merged with the [[Empire of Ovrestlia]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Paionia]] to form Lysimachia in order to stregthen the influence of the 3 micronations. This was short lived however, as it was dissolved only a month later due to several dissagreements between the co-Emperors [[Alcibiades I]] and [[HIM Thomas Marios I|Thomas Marios I]] and the severe political instability; there were 4 unsuccesful governments in the span of just seven days.<br />
<br />
After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Emperor Alcibiades I reformed the empire to stabilize and fix several flaws in the government system. After this Reformation a new parliament, administrative division, and election system were introduced, which turned out to be much more stable and effective than the previously used ones.On January 14th 2021 Imperium Aquilae managed to join the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] as a provisional member and on February 11th 2021 it became the first Greek Micronation to become a full member of the GUM.<br />

Paionia was one of the 3 founding members of the [[Empire of Lysimachia]] together with [[Ovrestlia]] and Imperium Aquilae. After the dissolution of Lysimachia, Alcibiabes decided to integrate Paionia into Imperium Aquilae, as it fell into inactivity once more.
