'''Florenia''', officially the '''Kingdom of''' '''Florenia''', is a sovereign state with a [[constitutional monarchy]], most often characterized as a [[micronation]]. Florenia is situated on the [[w:eastern seaboard|eastern seaboard]] of [[w: North America|North America]] and is an [[w:Enclave|enclave country]] completely bordered by the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Florenia claims 24 acres of territory and has a population of 17, eleven of whom reside within the Kingdom. <br />
<br />
First settled around 1786, Florenia's independence was declared by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] in April [[2011]] after over 200 years under United States sovereignty. The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]], currently [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]], is the official head of state who has limited yet notable and specific powers and initially served solely as a figurehead and symbol of national unity and political neutrality. The position of Monarch has evolved from a completely ceremonial role to an active position in government, culminating in the [[November Declaration]], in which Eran instituted temporary personal rule. The Prince Nathan currently serves as [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], Florenia's head of government and chief executive. The legislative body of Florenia is the [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], a [[w:unicameral|unicameral]] body which has the authority to promulgate legislation. The entirety of the Kingdom's [[w:judiciary|judiciary]] is comprised of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories, the [[Dominion of Afula]], which serves as the national capital, and the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Florenia is named after the Floren family, previous owners of the land that is now the [[Dominion of Afula]] and the creators of [[Floren Pond]], the body of water which makes up the majority of the Kingdom's territory.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
''See main article: [[History of Florenia]]''<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Florenia was founded on 22 April 2011 by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] without any formal instrument or declaration. There had been a former nation on the same territory which had also been founded by the Prince a few months before and was known as the Republic of the Floren Lands. However, this nation was never truly established or developed, and is not thought of as a true predecessor state to modern Florenia, but rather a trial project.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The original flag of Florenia, now the flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]]]]<br />
===Pre-Kingdom===<br />
The Dominion of Afula was originally part of the [[w:United States|United States]], specifically the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]]. The area around Afula was originally settled in the early 1700s, with the first settlement within the modern day Dominion in 1786. It is known that a few years prior, in 1779, one Peleg Bradley sold the property to one Seth Bishop, the latter of whom is thought to have owned land around the area, for two thousand five hundred pounds. <br />
<br />
During the mid 1900s, the property was owned by the Floren family, a group of farmers of Swedish origin. It was a large farm that encompassed far more land than Florenia does today. The Florens subdivided their property into around eight plots which they sold, and converted a large marsh into a 17 acre pond by redirecting a small stream and removing trees and various other barriers. The family kept for themselves a property of about 8 acres, on which their house and barn were located, and the pond as their own property, which Florenia constitutes at present. After one change of ownership, the Floren's old property was bought by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Crown]] in January 1999.<br />
<br />
===Early Kingdom===<br />
Prince Nathan had no knowledge of the concept of micronations when he founded the original Republic of Florenia around 22 April 2011. This date is used as Florenia's official date of foundation and Independence Day, although it is now thought to be incorrect. The Prince abandoned the new nation for some time, and after a period of around three months, decided to return to the project. The designation of Republic was changed after the Prince realized that with a King, Florenia must be a Kingdom. Nathan then discovered that other small countries like Florenia existed, a finding which inspired him to further develop the young state. He declared himself Prime Minister around 17 August 2011. This date is used as the official date for beginning of his premiership. However, the original date of foundation of the Kingdom, 22 April, is used as the beginning of the reign of Eran. Before 17 August, Florenia was essentially operating under dictatorial rule by the Prince, and simple decisions made during that time are recognized by the current government. He began drafting a Constitution largely based on the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] political system, which was eventually completed in early September 2011 and signed on 5 September by Prince Nathan and Eran. This Constitution is not viewed as a guiding document like the Constitutions of other states, but rather as a legislative starting point and outline for the initial operation of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
===Post-Constitution===<br />
There was no official documented foundation of the Kingdom until the signing of the Constitution, which began by declaring Florenia an independent nation, separate from the [[w:United States|United States]], on 5 September 2011. The Constitution laid out many government functions, but was also very simply written, as it was intended by The Prince Nathan that further legislation would clarify any ambiguities. After the signing of the Constitution, many acts were passed in the one-man unofficial Parliament, although all Acts were following the Constitution. Many of the ideas and functions laid out in the Constitution have been changed officially, and the Constitution is thought of not as a basis of law but a starting point for the nation to be guided by. Due to the fact that the only member of Parliament is currently the Prime Minister, all of the laws are written and automatically approved by him, then given to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] to grant royal assent. <br />
<br />
Prince Nathan announced that, under the mandate of Act 6, the [[Florenian Election of 2011|first election]] for [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]] was to take place from 22–31 December 2011. Two candidates, The Prince Nathan and [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], announced their intentions to stand for election. Due to the fact that there were only two candidates, the primary elections did not occur, and instead the general election began immediately. Prince Henry dropped out of the election before voting commenced, allowing Prince Nathan to win be default. He was never officially sworn in as Prime Minister, but his position as leader of the Kingdom was solidified.<br />
<br />
The official outlining the functions of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] in an Act of the unofficial Parliament brought fourth many new Acts and Laws. This includes the foundations of the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Ministry of Defense]], the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], and the [[College of Arms of Florenia|College of Arms]]. All Acts passed under the previous unofficial Parliament still stand. Under the Parliament Act 2012, Prince Nathan was given powers of a [[Parliament of Florenia#Members|Member of Parliament]] until an election in late July. He won this election, and became Member of Parliament for the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Elections that were supposed to take place in December 2012 did not occur due to logistical flaw on behalf of the government. The government has reported no messages from disgruntled citizens of Florenia about the mistake. After consideration, the government ultimately decided against rescheduling the elections and instead simply continuing with the scheduled elections of the following year.<br />
<br />
In accordance with the Elections Act 2013, which was passed on 18 December, the [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 general election]] was scheduled for 22–30 December. On 18 December, Prince Nathan officially announced his candidacy for reelection via the release of the document signed by Eran giving him permission to seek the office. In accordance with the Elections Act, the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Ministry]] informed non-residential citizens of the election procedure and collected their votes. In order to execute this obligation in an organized manner, the elections were held electronically via an online polling system. Due to the fact that there was only one candidate, the ballot also had an against option, which, if it received a majority of the vote, would show a lack of confidence in the Prince Nathan and push further elections. Prince Nathan was able to obtain a large majority of the vote, with 87.5% of citizens who cast their ballot voting in his favor. <br />
<br />
Florenia's third year of independence began on 22 April 2014. Prince Nathan released a statement in which he affirmed the goal of overall growth for the kingdom in the year ahead. Acts outlining a newly formed Florenian Judiciary were expected to be passed by late April. After Prince Nathan announced that acts were being worked on, he said that it is a time consuming and tedious process.<br />
<br />
On 10 August, four Acts of Parliament were passed establishing the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. The Judicial Act 2014 outlined the Court and its structure of one Justice, who hears all cases and presents a verdict, and the Consuls of the Court, who review the verdicts for each case and approve them. Also passed was the Crime and Punishment Act 2014, which outlined in detail various low level and severe crimes, as well as their maximum and minimum sentences. The Ministry of Justice Act 2014 created the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]], the Florenian government ministry responsible for law enforcement and the administration of Justice. It is led by the Attorney General, who is the chief lawyer for the government, and is responsible for the prosecution of all alleged criminals. It also stipulated the creation of the Royal Police Force and the Bar Association. The final act passed was the Judicial Procedure and Precedence Act, which allowed Parliament to regulate the structure of trials.<br />
<br />
[[File:EranCipher.png|200px|thumb|right|Royal chipher of Eran]]<br />
In December 2014, uncertainty arose with regard to the future of the Florenian premiership as the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]] approached. By the morning of 21 December, no candidate, not even the incumbent Prince Nathan, had submitted their candidacy request to the Monarch. However, in the evening of 22 December, the Prince was confirmed to run by Eran, and the election was to begin in the same format as it had in the previous year; Prince Nathan as sole candidate attempting to obtain a majority over an "against" option.<br />
<br />
In a similar situation to the 2012 general elections, no voting was organized or took place, and plans to reschedule to early February fell through. The government issued a statement in late March, indicating that the failed elections displayed a feeling of unimportance among Florenian citizens, and that election reform would surely follow in the near future.<br />
<br />
===Personal rule===<br />
After over a year of inactivity, the King issued the [[November Declaration]] on 25 November 2016 in which he claimed temporary power and instructed the Prime Minister to begin drawing up plans for massive government reform. He also changed the style of the monarch to ''[[Majesty|His Majesty]]'', changed the name of the capital to Afula, and affirmed that the Monarch's right to rule is derived from Florenia's history and past owners of the land which it occupies. He also increased the powers of the Crown, declaring that the Government shall henceforth be known as His Majesty's Government, and that the Monarch would from now on formally appoint the Prime Minister and all government ministers.<br />
<br />
On 9 February 2017, Eran issued a royal decree in which he annexed his property that remained outside of the Kingdom as the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. This was the first expansion of Florenia's territory in its history and has long been anticipated due to Lexington's nature as the primary residence of the Monarch and royal family. In the same decree, the King declared that his residence at Afula will be known as the [[Palace of State]] and that it shall serve as the official headquarters of the government, while the residence at Lexington will be known as Lexington House and will serve as an alternative office for the government.<br />
<br />
After nearly three years of personal rule by Eran through The Prince Nathan, the latter announced on 5 September 2019, the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Florenian Constitution, that the government planned to unveil a plan to alter the government system drastically. The Prince indicated that the new structure would be based on “the participation of the entire Florenian populace through a direct democracy in conjunction with a constitutional monarchy.” While a timeline was not announced for the unveiling of the specifics of the plan, the Prince asserted that no change would be adopted without both royal assent and a national referendum. On 22 September, preliminary proposals were circulated by the Prince to Eran and were received positively. On 31 December, The Prince Nathan issued a statement announcing a "segment-by-segment" reform plan, noting that the government had changed course after initially attempting to organize a succinct, swift government overhaul. The piecemeal implementation of reforms will take place gradually, with the government paying particular attention to preserving Florenia's historical and cultural character.<br />
<br />
Constitution Day 2020 saw the announcement of a national referendum between 10 and 13 September on The Prince Nathan's constitutional reform plan outlined in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]]. The Resolution's adoption would signal popular support for a strong monarch and new administrative and advisory body in the Council of State, as well as for the Florenian principles of community, equality, and democratic involvement. <br />
<br />
The so-called [[Resolution referendum]] was ultimately rescheduled to and held between 17 and 19 April 2021, resulting in the Resolution's sound adoption by a majority of voters. On April 16, the government released the [[Resolution Plan]], a document outlining the process for implementing the new system of government, which divided the implementation into three major phases. The Referendum phase included the Resolution referendum and the concurrent preregistration of willing citizens to membership in Parliament. The Basis phase, during which Orders in Council and Acts of Parliament will be promulgated organizing the fundamental institutions of the state, is currently in progress. It will be followed by the Arrangements phase, consisting of the Crown's appointment of various state officials and the establishment of further government agencies. <br />
<br />
===Resolution system===<br />
At 6:04 PM on 26 April, Eran issued the first four Orders in Council, reestablishing Parliament, the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]], and the Crown Court, as well as describing the role of Ministers of State. This was the first substantive act under Florenia's new system, and at that moment the old system of government is considered to have ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
On 13 January 2022, Eran made the first appointments to the Council of State on Nathan’s recommendation, who continues to serve as Florenia’s de facto prime minister. [[Lady Deborah, Baroness of Plymouth]] was named inaugural [[Lord President of the Council]], becoming only the second person in history to chair the Florenian executive. [[Sarisha Danforth]] joined the government as Minister of State for Culture and for Foreign Affairs, [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]] was named to the post of Minister of State for Environment, and Nathan himself became Minister of State for General Affairs and secretary for the [[Council Office]], the government’s primary coordination and administrative support body.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
Florenia is governed within the context of a [[w:unitary|unitary]] [[w:semi-parliamentary|semi-parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The Florenian head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister. <br />
<br />
===Prime Minister===<br />
The [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] is the elected head of government and chief executive of the Kingdom of Florenia. He or she has the responsibility of the leading the [[Cabinet of Florenia|cabinet]] and recommending ministers for appointment by the monarch. The prime minister's duties include all listed under Article 3, Section 3 of the original Florenian constitution and all others created by acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]]. The inaugural and incumbent prime minister is [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], Florenia's founder.<br />
<br />
Unlike many nations with a prime minister and parliamentary system, the Florenian prime minister is not a legislative office but a separate executive office. The Florenian prime minister is more comparable to a presidential office than those of most other nations, as the prime minister is elected separately from Parliament and the prime minister need not command the support of Parliament. In his November 2016 decree, Eran proclaimed that the prime minister, and all government ministers, would be formally appointed by the monarch. <br />
<br />
===Monarchy===<br />
The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] is the official head of state of the Kingdom of Florenia. The Monarch has royal duties as well as parliamentary duties, such as attending parliamentary sessions and giving Royal Consent for acts and laws being passed. The current Monarch is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]]. He is the owner of a vast majority of the property within the Kingdom, and is the father of [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], and [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]], who are the first three in the line of succession to the Throne. The Monarch serves as an unbiased and not politically affiliated face of the government and of the nation as a whole, and is meant to keep the nation united regardless of the political associations of the government.<br />
<br />
The line of succession to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Florenian Throne]] is unlike those of most monarchies. It includes not only the immediate family of Eran, ending with his niece, but also [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]]'s father, [[Lord John, 1st Earl Fialko|The Earl Fialko]], and then her immediate family, ending with her sister. The reasoning behind this odd system is that although Eran is the Monarch, the Kingdom was founded when the royal couple had already been married, and it was found to be most fair to include both families in the line of succession. Only the family of the King is entitled to use royal titles; the family of the Queen only use the titles and styles associated with an Earl and his family.<br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
The [[Parliament of Florenia]] is comprised of the elected Members of Parliament of Florenian territories. Since there is one territory, its Member of Parliament carries out the law making process. The current Member of Parliament for Afula - although Parliament is currently suspended - is Prince Nathan, who is also Prime Minister. Parliament legislates for Florenia, but to fully pass a law, Royal Consent by the Monarch must be given. <br />
<br />
Parliament currently consists of Prince Nathan, who was officially elected on 29 July 2012. Under the constitution, a Member of Parliament, or Prime Minister, proposes and writes an act. Then, Parliament revises it and votes to pass it. Currently, the Prince types an act, and as there are no objections it is automatically passed by the simple act of himself proposing it. Then, he gives it to the King for consent (Royal Consent has so far not been refused). A wide range of acts are passed due to the stated belief of the Prime Minister that Acts for every aspect of the nation are needed to help codify Florenia's laws and make the country strong.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
[[File:Crown Court Florenia.png|200px|thumb|left|Official seal of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]]]]<br />
The Florenian Judiciary was established by four Acts of Parliament on 10 August 2014. The Judicial Act 2014 established the [[Crown Court of Florenia]] as the court to hear all criminal and civil cases of the Kingdom. The Court has one full seat, the Justice of the Crown Court, and two positions of review, the Consuls of the Court. The Justice of the Crown Court is responsible for hearing all cases and for presenting a verdict after the presentation of all evidence and the conclusion of the trial. The verdict must be reviewed by the two Consuls before it can be officially implemented. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the Prime Minister, approved by Parliament, and appointed by the Monarch, allowing the Monarch to posses a veto. <br />
<br />
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the administration of justice as well as law enforcement, the latter of which is carried out by the Royal Police Force. The Ministry is responsible for determining and prosecuting all individuals alleged of a crime, as well as regulating the body of attorneys of the Kingdom and licensing individuals to practice law, a responsibility it carries out through the Bar Association. The Ministry is led by the Attorney General, who, as well as serving as the administrator of the ministry, is the chief lawyer for the government, and the Deputy Attorney General, who assists the minister in his or her roles. <br />
<br />
The Justice of the Crown Court may issue a warrant for the arrest of any individual if the government has presented sufficient evidence in the Crown Court. Those alleged of a crime in Florenia are accorded certain rights by the Judicial Act 2014, such as the right to remain silent, the right to representation by an attorney, and the right to quick and concise trial. <br />
<br />
The Royal Police Force, or RPF, has the responsibility of preventing crime and criminal activity throughout the Kingdom, as well as detaining those alleged of a crime by the government after the issuing of a warrant. The RPF is led by the Royal Commissioner of Police, who reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General. The RPF was given almost complete autonomy to determine its structure and self manage by the Ministry of Justice Act 2014. The RPF has had no confrontation with any alleged criminal since its foundation. <br />
<br />
An integral piece of the 10 August Judicial legislation package, the Crime and Punishment Act 2014 described in detail various severe and low level crimes in the Kingdom, as well as their minimum and maximum sentences. The act laid out three distinct sentences that may be issued by the Justice of the Crown Court; expulsion, barring from entrance, and fines. Expulsion prevents the individual from ever entering the Kingdom for the remainder of their lifetime. Barring from entrance is separated into three degrees, the most severe of which prevents the individual from entering the Kingdom from two months to a year, the second of which from ten days to two months, and third from two days to a week. The least severe sentence is a fine, or a sum of money to be paid to the government by the individual.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
Military and defense responsibilities in Florenia are carried out by the [[Armed Forces of Florenia]], which is composed of two independent branches, [[Florenian Royal Army|His Majesty's Army]] and [[Florenian Royal Navy|His Majesty's Navy]], commonly referred to as the Royal Army and Royal Navy. Currently, the Royal Army is the only branch with enlisted or commissioned service people, and as such soldiers in the Royal Army are also responsible for the operation and upkeep of the Royal Navy's fleet.<br />
<br />
The [[w:Commander-in-Chief|Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces is, by definition, the Florenian Monarch, whose power is exercised by the Prime Minister. As such, all officers receive their commission in the name of the Monarch, however are in reality commissioned by the Prime Minister and his ministry, who has full command over the armed forces. The Prime Minister also appoints the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Minister of Defense]], who is responsible for the government ministry that manages and administrates the Royal Army and Navy. The Ministry of Defense has control over the organizational and rank structures of the armed forces, as well as the establishment of military commands and troop placements and movements.<br />
<br />
The Royal Army currently consists of one [[w:regiment|regiment]] which serves as the primary organizational formation of the branch; the Royal Guards Regiment. It is commanded by its [[w:Colonel|Colonel]], currently The Prince Nathan. The regiment consists of two battalions; the 1st battalion, which serves as the primary and full service unit, and 2nd battalion, which consists solely of reserve troops and has never been deployed or undergone serious training. The Royal Navy's fleet consists of two vessels; one canoe and one kayak, both owned by the Crown. The canoe, which has been under the ownership of the Crown for years before the Navy's founding, was manufactured by Great Canadian, and is propelled by two individuals. It can also seat up to two extra individuals. The kayak, a Pelican Pathfinder 100x, was purchased by the Crown on 22 July 2014, is piloted by one individual. It also has a cargo hold in the aft.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Foreign relations of the Kingdom of Florenia are managed by the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]]. Currently, there is one employee of the Ministry; the Minister, Prince Nathan, who was appointed by himself as Prime Minister to the position on 9 February 2013. Florenia was a full member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] from early 2013. However, after reform within the organization, the Kingdom's status was downgraded to observer. After being informed that the government had until 2 June 2014 to renew their membership, the government opted to allow the period to expire, losing Florenia's membership in the GUM. The decrease in rank had been noted by Prince Nathan, who claims that Florenia was forced to remain fairly inactive in the GUM because of time differences, but the Kingdom still found its membership in the organization important to its diplomatic relations. The government decided not to confirm their membership and leave the organization for an "indeterminate" amount of time.<br />
<br />
For two consecutive terms beginning on 13 June 2013, the Kingdom was on the Advancement Council of the GUM. Florenia has signed treaties with three nations, but finds that its relations with nations they have not signed agreements with are just as strong. Florenia currently has a policy of only recognizing nations which it sees as serious, that is, are not fantasy nations or are based solely online or on imaginary planets or landmasses. By law, recognition may be granted by the Foreign Ministry, and many nations that the Kingdom has not contacted are recognized. On 28 August 2014, the government reapplied for GUM membership, but received no reply.<br />
<br />
In recent years, Florenian foreign policy has been considered of lesser importance by the government. The Kingdom has of late not sought to extend recognition to any territories nor contacted any foreign government.<br />
<br />

Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories: the Dominion of Afula and the Dominion of Lexington. Afula is the much larger of the Kingdom's territories, rendering Lexington's size negligible by comparison. <br />
<br />
Afula is surrounded by the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]], and is comprised of four land masses, the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Afula has an approximate area of 25 acres, of which approximately 71% is water and 29% is land. The body of water, which is around 17.5 acres, is [[Floren Pond]], the pond for which Florenia is named. The pond was originally a marsh, and was turned into a pond when a river was opened intentionally opened into the area. Around the coast of Afula, the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep. However, in the center of the pond, water can reach up to 12 feet. <br />
<br />
The pond surrounds the [[Princes Islands]] group that consists of Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, which are named for the three children of Eran. Nathan Island is the only island that can be walked upon, and is decorated with a stone plaque commemorating the builders of the pond. Also, connected to Nathan Island by tree roots, is a small island named Izzy Island, after the Princes' cousin [[Lady Isabella, Duchess of Fishrock]]. Zachary Island is the second largest, and Henry Island the largest out of the three. However, both are overgrown with shrubbery and cannot be walked on or explored further than what can be seen from the water. Around the islands, the water is extremely shallow and the lake bed extremely rocky. <br />
<br />
The other terrain of Afula, around 7.5 acres in area, is made up of forest, tall grass, and a groomed yard. On the coast of the pond is [[Eran National Park]], a small forest which contains an old dilapidated stone wall, large boulders, and complete tree cover. Much of the land is also tall grass, which borders the pond and reaches all the way to the top of a large hill. Atop the hill that looks down on the pond is a well groomed, large yard with two main structures; the [[Palace of State]] and [[the Barn]]. The Palace of State is the residence of the Royal family while in Afula and the official headquarters of the government, and the Barn is a structure that held farming equipment under the properties original ownership. The Barn contains a loft with a bed, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area. The Barn is a quasi guest house, however is rarely used as such. Next to the Barn is a fenced in swimming pool.<br />

<br />
The highest point in the Dominion is around the Palace of State, with an elevation of approximately 1165 feet above sea level. The lowest point is and around Floren pond, with an elevation of approximately 1116 feet above sea level. At its longest point, at a heading of 17.34 degrees, Afula spans approximately 1956 feet across. At its narrowest point, running along the coast at a heading of approximately 123 degrees, the Dominion spans around 402 feet.<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Florenia has a [[w:humid continental climate|humid continental climate]] with hot summers and cold winters. Rainfall and snowfall are evenly divided among the months of the year, and yearly sunshine hours average 2,400. Summer is hot, humid and stormy throughout the Kingdom, with average highs of 76&nbsp;°F (24&nbsp;°C). Although summers are sunny, summer thunderstorms often bring quick downpours and thunder and lighting. Winters are generally cool to cold, with average temperatures of 35&nbsp;°F (1&nbsp;°C). Early spring (April) is coolish and mid and late spring (May/early June) is warm to hot.<br />

==Demographics==<br />
===Population===<br />
Florenia has a total population of fifteen, all of whom are eligible to vote in general elections upon reaching the age of ten. Only five of these fourteen are residents of the Kingdom, a status allowing them to vote in general elections as well as to vote for members of Parliament and stand for election for either post. All but one Florenian citizen have joined by their own accord; Florenian law dictates that any child born to a Florenian citizen is a Florenian citizen, and this clause has come into effect once. All Florenian citizens live full- or part-time on the [[w:East Coast of the United States|East Coast of the United States]].<br />
<br />
===Language===<br />
Although Florenia has no official language, [[w:English language|English]] is the only commonly spoken language among Florenian citizens, and all Florenian legislation and government business is written in English. Among Florenians, however, languages such as [[w:Hebrew|Hebrew]], [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]], [[w:French language|French]], and [[w:Latin|Latin]] are known and spoken by various individuals. Around 86% of Florenian citizens are native English speakers, around 7% are native Hebrew speakers, and 7% native Spanish speakers.<br />

<div>[[File:Adam I and Jonathan I.jpg|350px|thumb|right|[[Adam I, Emperor of Adammia]] and [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia]] meet in-person for the first time at the [[Imperial Residence]] in [[Wrythe]] as part of [[Austenasia]]'s tenth Independence Day celebrations on 15 September 2018.]] <br />
<br />
In the [[Empire of Adammia]], '''foreign relations''' are the responsibility of the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Adammia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], though only the [[Monarchy of Adammia|Monarch]] can grant diplomatic recognition (usually on the advice of the Ministry). Multilateral treaties can be ratified after the Monarch has signed them by the [[Ruling Council]]. Foreign affairs is mainly governed by Imperial Decrees XIII and XX.<br />
<br />
Adammia joined the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] on 12 May 2013, in which it eventually became fairly influential; Adammic delegate [[Adam I, Emperor of Adammia|Emperor Adam I]] was [[Chair of the Grand Unified Micronational|Chair of the GUM]] from September 2014 to December 2014 and from April 2015 to July 2015. However, the collapse of the GUM as an organisation, along with Emperor Adam's discomfort with a number of micronationalists in the MicroWiki community, led to Adammia becoming increasingly withdrawn from international affairs in 2015. When the GUM was revived as an organisation in 2016, Adammia once again became a full member, but it would remain fairly inactive until 2018, when Emperor Adam returned to chair the GUM for two back-to-back terms from July 2018 to June 2019. The success of these terms, which saw Adammia hosting the [[2019 GUM Birmingham Summit]] and promoting the [[Wrythe Convention|Wrythe]] and [[Edgbaston Convention|Edgbaston]] Conventions, led to Adammia becoming one of the most influential nations in the MicroWiki community by 2019. However, Emperor Adam would generally withdraw from the MicroWiki community for a second time in 2021. Since then, Adammia has generally focussed on the GUM, where Emperor Adam served a record-breaking fifth term as Chair in 2022, and on a limited number of bilateral relationships, mostly with fellow British micronations. In October 2023, Adammia announced that it would be establishing an [[Association of British Micronations]] alongside Austenasia and Lundenwic.<br />

<br />
''Main article: [[Adammia and the Grand Unified Micronational]]''<br />
<br />
As of 2023, Adammia is amongst the longest-serving GUM member states, alongside Austenasia, Wyvern and Mercia. In addition to his five terms as Chair, Emperor Adam has at various times served as Vice-Chair, Supreme Justice, and in a number of other minor roles. He is presently the Director-General.<br />
<br />
===Association of British Micronations===<br />
<br />
Adammia will be a founding member of the ABM, with Emperor Adam due to serve as a permanant trustee.<br />

<br />
Since renouncing its treaties of alliance with Nolland and the Mohawk Empire, Adammia has not had any formal military alliances.<br />

===Micronations with a mutual recognition treaty with Adammia===<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:AdammiaNollandTreaty.jpg|350px|thumb|right|[[Adam I, Emperor of Adammia|Emperor Adam I]] and [[Thomas, Tsar of Nolland|Tsar Thomas]] establish the Cardiff Pact on 17 August 2018.]]<br />
<br />
*[[File:Flag of Mercia.svg|25px|border]] '''[[Mercia]]''' was the first ever micronation to sign a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia, when it was known as Burnham on 8 July 2013. It was the first nation to recognise Adammia as well as the first nation which Adammia recognised. Mercia is traditionally seen in Adammia as an informal ally, and the two nations have very amicable relations, with their respective Head of States exchanging gifts: [[His Lordship Richard I|Lord Richard I]] has been made a Knight of the [[Order of Adammia]], whilst Emperor Adam I was made Count of Penmine and Spildcastle, a subdivision of [[Clyro]] in Mercia. Adam I was sporadically active in Mercian politics, at one point becoming Deputy Prime Minister in 2016, but later resigned his citizenship and his noble title due to political differences in 2020.<br />
*[[File:WyvernFlagImproved.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Kingdom of Wyvern]]''' signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 5 August 2013. On 1 January 2020, Wyvern's Holy Roman Empire recognised Adam I's claim to the title of Emperor, and Adammia recognised [[Quentin I, Holy Roman Emperor|King Quentin I]] as Holy Roman Emperor, as part of a trilateral treaty between Adammia, Wyvern and Austenasia. Adammia and Wyvern have a long history of co-operation in the Grand Unified Micronational. Given Ashukovo's inactivity and political differences with Mercia, Wyvern has perhaps the oldest diplomatic relationship with Adammia which is still significant.<br />
*{{flagicon|Austenasia}} The '''[[Empire of Austenasia]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. On 23 May 2018, Adammia and Austenasia signed a Treaty of Mutual Recognition and Friendship. Emperor Adam is the 11th cousin once removed of [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia]], and the two personally have a strong friendship. They met in-person for the first time on 15 September 2018, when Emperor Adam was invited to [[Wrythe]] as part of Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations. This was Emperor Adam's first ever official state visit to another micronation, and it saw both nations becoming some of the first signatories to the [[Wrythe Convention]]. However, in April 2019 many Adammic politicians criticised Austenasia due to its constitutional amendment which effectively prohibited same-sex marriage in that nation; this culminated in the [[Ruling Council]] passing a motion of condemnation. Both nations collaborated on organising the [[2019 GUM Birmingham Summit]], where both nations signed the [[Edgbaston Convention]]. On 1 January 2020, another treaty was signed under which Austenasia recognised Adam I's claim to the title of Emperor under the [[Imperium (political theory)|Imperium]] doctrine. This treaty was trilateral between Adammia, Austenasia and Wyvern's Holy Roman Empire, all of which now recognise each other as holding Imperium. After the coronavirus pandemic, the two emperors met again on 14 August 2021 along with [[Mike Lewis, Marquis of New Charter|Mike Lewis]] to discuss plans for a possible UK-focussed micronational association. At two ceremonies held on 5 and 7 November 2022, Emperor Adam served as a groomsman to Emperor Jonathan at [[Wedding of Jonathan I and Princess Hannah|his wedding to Princess Hannah]]. Both nations took part in the GUM summit in December 2022. In October 2023, Adammia hosted the Austenasian Emperor and Empress for a state visit to White Gold Palace, where both nations signed the Charter of the [[Association of British Micronations]]. ''(see also: [[Adammic-Austenasian relations]])''<br />
*[[File:Flag of Überstadt.svg|25px|border]] The '''[[Kingdom of Überstadt]]''' signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 15 January 2014. The two nations have interacted occasionally since then, especially after Überstadt and Adammia joined the "rebooted" GUM.<br />
*{{flagicon|Florenia}} The '''[[Kingdom of Florenia]]''' signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 19 January 2014. However, the two nations have barely interacted at all since the treaty was signed.<br />
*{{flagicon|Flandrensis}} The former '''[[Flandrensisian Commonwealth]]''' signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 29 March 2015. The two nations have had minimal interactions since then. After the Commonwealth disbanded, the treaty carried over to the constituent states of the Commonwealth.<br />
*[[File:Lundenwicflag1.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Imperial Grand Duchy of Lundenwic]]''' was recognised by the Elections and Diplomacy Act 2016 on 14 May 2016. In July 2017, Adammia and Lundenwic signed a mutual recognition treaty. Emperor Adam met [[Julian I, Imperial Grand Duke of Lundenwic|Grand Duke Julian]] and [[Mike Lewis, Marquis of New Charter|Mike Lewis]] for the first time at Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations in [[Wrythe]] on 15 September 2018. Emperor Adam met Lewis again on 14 August 2021 alongside Emperor Jonathan I to discuss plans for a possible UK-focussed micronational association.<br />
*[[File:Abeldane flag.jpg|25px|border]] The '''[[Abeldane Empire|Abeldane Empire and Commonwealth]]''' was recognised by the Diplomacy Act 2017 on 7 July 2017. In September 2017, Adammia and Abelden signed a mutual recognition treaty. Since then, the two nations have interacted very little, and relations remain cordial on paper.<br />
*[[File:NewWazakhstanFlag1.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Kingdom of Wazakhstan]]''' signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 5 June 2018. Wazakhstan shares very close ties with Adammia, as both nations are in close proximity within the [[Birmingham Sector]]. Wazakhstan's Prime Minister [[Ned Hilton]] is the only foreign micronational leader to date to have visited Adammia and to have addressed Adammia's [[Ruling Council]]. Adammia and Wazakhstan have a dual citizenship agreement, under which each state agrees not to discriminate by an applicant's status in the other nation when processing citizenship applications. As of 31 December 2018, Wazakhstan has become the only micronation to have a land border with Adammia, with its Oblast of [[Goodbold]] being an enclave of the territory of [[Ashoria]].<br />
*[[File:Knoll flag 1.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Tsardom of Nolland]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. As a former member of the Wurtige bloc, Nolland had informal interactions with Adammia on a number of occasions, and the two nations had somewhat amicable relations in Adammia's earlier years, before Nolland became inactive. When Nolland was revitalised in 2018, Adammia and Nolland quickly developed strong ties, due to the fact that both Emperor Adam I and the Tsar of Nolland were members of the UK [[w:Young Liberals (United Kingdom)|Young Liberals]]; in July 2018, Adammia and Nolland signed a mutual recognition treaty. Through Nolland, Adam I was introduced to other YL micronationalists from Talossa and Herbatrea, creating an informal grouping of micronations linked to the Young Liberals. In August 2018, Adammia and Nolland's heads of state met in person and signed the Cardiff Pact, establishing a military alliance between the two countries whilst also providing for dual citizenship. Emperor Adam described the relations between the two nations as a "special relationship", an apparent reference to be so-called [[w:Special Relationship|Special Relationship]] between the United Kingdom and the United States. However, by 2021 Nolland had again become inactive, and in December 2022 Adammia renounced the Cardiff Pact, terminating the military alliance and dual citizenship arrangement. However, the July 2018 mutual recognition treaty remains in effect.<br />
*[[File:Kingdom of Ashukovo flag.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Republic of Ashukovo]]''' was the second ever nation to sign a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia in 2013, when it was known as the Ashukov Federation. It was later recognised again by the Diplomacy Act 2017 on 7 July 2017. After this iteration of Ashukovo became inactive, Adammia revoked recognition on 16 May 2019. Most recently, Adammia and Ashukovo renewed their original 2013 treaty on 17 June 2020, re-establishing relations between the two countries.<br />
*[[File:Flag of Hrafnarfjall.svg|25px]] The '''[[Kingdom of Hrafnarfjall]]''' signed a Treaty of Support and Cooperation with Adammia on 17 June 2020.<br />
*[[File:Flag of New Virginia.svg|25px|border]] The '''[[Commonwealth of New Virginia]]''' signed a mutual recognition treaty with Adammia on 17 June 2020.<br />
*[[File:Flag_of_Wildflower_Meadows.jpg|25px|border]] The '''[[Principality of Wildflower Meadows]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree LXXXIII on 18 November 2022. Emperor Adam first met [[Hannah, Empress of Austenasia|Princess Hannah]] at Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations on 15 September 2018, when they both signed the [[Wrythe Convention]]. The two leaders next met for two ceremonies held on 5 and 7 November 2022, when Princess Hannah [[Wedding of Jonathan I and Princess Hannah|married Emperor Jonathan I]], at which Emperor Adam served as a groomsman. On 4 October 2023, Emperor Adam hosted Princess Hannah (alongside Emperor Jonathan) for a state visit to Adammia, and the two nations signed a mutual recognition treaty. Princess Hannah is a Dame Commander of the [[Order of Adammia]], and Emperor Adam is a Knight Protector of the [[Order of the Poppy]].<br />
<br />
===Other micronations recognised by Adammia===<br />
<br />
*[[File:Flag of Sealand.svg|25px|border]] The '''[[Principality of Sealand]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013, but the two nations have never interacted.<br />
*[[File:Flag of Molossia.svg|25px|border]] The '''[[Republic of Molossia]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. Adammia and Molossia have had a couple of informal interactions, but Molossia does not recognise Adammia (indeed, Molossia's foreign policy is to not grant formal recognition to any nation, instead relying solely on informal relations<ref>[http://www.molossia.org/diplopolicy.html Republic of Molossia Diplomatic Policy]</ref>).<br />
*[[File:FlagofSandus.png|25px|border]] The '''[[State of Sandus]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. However, Adammia and Sandus never interacted outside of the GUM, and Sandus does not recognise Adammia.<br />
*[[File:Flag-of-Juclandia.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Juclandia|Kingdom of Juclandia]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. Juclandia and Adammia worked together frequently when [[Ciprian I]] was Chair of the GUM and Emperor Adam was Vice-Chair, and Juclandia recognised Adammia in 2014.<br />
*{{flagicon|Sirocco}} The '''[[Federal Commonwealth of Sirocco]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XVI on 28 October 2013. Adammia and Sirocco have had a couple of informal interactions, but Sirocco does not recognise Adammia.<br />
*[[File:FLAG RESIZED.jpg|25px|border]] The '''[[Reylan Imperial Triumvirate]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XXX on 11 December 2014. Adammia and Reyla worked together in the GUM, but have barely interacted since the GUM's collapse in 2015. Reyla does not recognise Adammia, possibly due to the Treaty of Wrythe.<br />
*[[File:Natalflag.png|25px|border]] The '''[[Grand Duchy of Natal]]''' was recognised by Imperial Decree XXX on 11 December 2014. Adammia and Natal have barely interacted directly, although Emperor Adam is a Privy Counsellor in Natal.<br />

[[File:FloreniaArms.png|200px|thumb|right|[[Royal Coat of Arms of Florenia]]]]<br />
The '''Legislation in Florenia''' is carried out via two primary modes. Acts of Parliament are passed by the [[Parliament of Florenia]] by majority vote and enter into law only after being granted royal assent by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]. Royal decrees and letters patent are issued unilaterally by the Monarch, although they are limited by Parliamentary statute. On 25 November 2016 however, [[Eran of Florenia]] issued the [[November Declaration]], which suspended Parliament and declared that his decrees would carry (in the interim) the authority of Acts of Parliament.<br />

Lying at {{convert|1116|ft|abbr=on}} above sea-level, its depth ranges from around {{convert|3|ft|abbr=on}} to {{convert|12|ft|abbr=on}}. The pond is home to the [[Princes Islands]].<br />
<br />
The pond was artificially created by Carl and Nelly Floren, previous owners of the property which comprises modern-day Afula, from the swamp which previously occupied the same area. A small creek was diverted into the basin, which continues to feed the pond. [[w:Beaver|Beaver]], [[w:Canadian goose|Canadian geese]], [[w:Heron|heron]], and various other species including many [[w:fish|fish]], [[w:turtle|turtles]], [[w:frog|frogs]], and [[w:insect|insects]] are known to populate the pond and its immediate surroundings. <br />
<br />
Floren Pond is one of Florenia's defining geographical characteristics and has had a profound effect on Florenian culture. It is the subject by numerous pieces of environmental protection [[Legislation in Florenia|legislation]], including limiting fishing quantities and outlawing pollution, which are overseen and enforced by the [[Ministry of Environment (Florenia)|Ministry of Environment]]. As its shoreline runs along the majority of the Florenian border, the pond is integral to Florenian security, which is overseen by the [[Florenian Royal Navy]]. <br />
<br />
There are seven American properties with waterfront access to Floren Pond. Longstanding convention which precedes Florenia's foundation permits these properties virtually unrestricted access to the pond, which many take advantage of frequently for leisure activities such as swimming and kayaking. <br />
<br />
Floren Pond is or has been host to many popular activities, including canoeing, fishing, wildlife-watching, and ice-skating. As is the case with all property in the Kingdom not under the jurisdiction of [[Eran National Park]], the pond is property of [[Monarchy of Florenia|the Crown]].<br />
==Geography==<br />
Floren Pond has a total area of approximately {{convert|17|acre|abbr=on}}. Along the coast of Afula, the water is only around {{convert|3|ft|abbr=on}} deep. However, in the center of the pond, depths can reach up to {{convert|12|ft|abbr=on}}. It spans {{convert|1460|ft|abbr=on}} at its longest and {{convert|790|ft|abbr=on}} at its widest. It measures less than {{convert|100|ft|abbr=on}} at its thinnest, between two points on the western cove. Its shoreline stretches over {{convert|3/4|mi|abbr=on}}. <br />
<br />
[[File:Princes Islands Aerial.jpeg|300px|thumb|left|[[Princes Islands]] from above, looking west.]]<br />
The pond surrounds the Princes Islands group that consists of Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, which are named for the three children of Eran. Nathan Island is the only island that can be walked upon, with an area of approximately {{convert|280|sqft|abbr=on}} and is decorated with a stone plaque commemorating the builders of the pond. Also, connected to Nathan Island by tree roots, is a small island named Izzy Island, after the Princes' cousin [[Lady Isabella, Duchess of Fishrock]]. Zachary Island is the second largest at an area of approximately {{convert|640|sqft|abbr=on}}, and Henry Island the largest of the three at approximately {{convert|1500|sqft|abbr=on}}. However, both are overgrown with shrubbery and cannot be walked on or explored further than what can be seen from the water. Around the islands, the water is extremely shallow and the lake bed extremely rocky. <br />
<br />
The narrow channel that separates Nathan and Zachary Islands is very shallow and rocky, with rocks both totally submerged, hidden from view, and protruding above the surface. It is very difficult for boats to navigate these shallow waters, and this passage is almost always avoided by the [[Florenian Royal Navy]]. Therefore, vessels always dock on the south/southwest shore of Nathan Island, where it is also easy to affix a line to tree roots and disembark.<br />

}}<br />
The '''monarchy of Florenia''', commonly referred to as the '''Florenian monarchy''' or, as the legal institution, '''the Crown''', is the [[constitutional monarchy]] of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. [[Eran of Florenia]] has reigned as monarch since Florenia's foundation on 22 April 2011. The monarch has many responsibilities, the most important of which is granting royal assent to all Acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Florenian Parliament]] so that they may become law. The monarch's primary role as conceived of upon independence was as a symbol of national unity and a non-affiliated leader of the nation. <br />
<br />
On 25 November 2016, Eran issued the [[November Declaration]], a decree in which he claimed temporary powers and suspended Parliament. He also assumed the style of ''His Majesty'', doing away with the word Royal. Eran then ruled with nearly limitless power, though only exercised it on the advice of his ministers, until the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] following [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]] in April 2021. Under the new system of government the Resolution established, the Crown maintains many prerogative powers but is bound by [[w:Constitutional convention|constitutional conventions]] and a direct democratic Parliament possessing [[w:Legislative supremacy|legislative supremacy]]. Therefore, Eran continues to act only on the advice of the government, now represented by the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]].<br />
<br />
==Powers and duties==<br />
Under Florenian Law, the monarch has the following powers and duties, and is constantly receiving more as the nation develops. <br />
<br />
*The Monarch must grant royal assent to all Acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] before they can become law.<br />
*The Monarch appoints and swears in the [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]] upon the winning of a general election.<br />
*The Monarch appoints all members of the [[Cabinet of Florenia|Cabinet]] on advice of the Prime Minister.<br />
*The Monarch appoints confirmed Justices and Consuls of the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]].<br />
*The Monarch serves as the Head of State of Florenia, and therefore is the general political face of the nation.<br />
*The Monarch is official Commander-in-Chief of the [[Florenian Armed Forces]].<br />
*The Monarch has the power to control all royal styles and arms.<br />
*The Monarch may award Knighthoods and Honors to individuals.<br />
*The Monarch may create [[Peerage of Florenia|Peerages]] for individuals.<br />
<br />
==Line of succession==<br />
[[File:EranCipher.png|thumb|right|200px|Royal cipher of Eran]]<br />
The line of succession to the Throne of Florenia is slightly more complicated and different from most other royal lines of succession. First in line is [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], the eldest son of the King, who is followed, as per usual, by his brothers, uncle, aunt, and cousins. However, after all of the members of the king's immediate family, [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]]'s father, [[Lord John, 1st Earl Fialko|The Most Hon Earl Fialko]], continues the line of succession, followed by the Queen's immediate family. The line of succession is as follows:<br />

'''Florenia''', officially the '''Kingdom of''' '''Florenia''', is a sovereign state with a [[constitutional monarchy]], most often characterized as a [[micronation]]. Florenia is situated on the [[w:eastern seaboard|eastern seaboard]] of [[w: North America|North America]] and is an [[w:Enclave|enclave country]] completely bordered by the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Florenia claims 24 acres of territory and has a population of 17, eleven of whom reside within the Kingdom. <br />
<br />
First settled around 1786, Florenia's independence was declared by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] in April [[2011]] after over 200 years under United States sovereignty. The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]], currently [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]], is the official head of state who has limited yet notable and specific powers and initially served solely as a figurehead and symbol of national unity and political neutrality. The position of Monarch has evolved from a completely ceremonial role to an active position in government, culminating in the [[November Declaration]], in which Eran instituted temporary personal rule. The Prince Nathan currently serves as [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], Florenia's head of government and chief executive. The legislative body of Florenia is the [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], a [[w:unicameral|unicameral]] body which has the authority to promulgate legislation. The entirety of the Kingdom's [[w:judiciary|judiciary]] is comprised of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories, the [[Dominion of Afula]], which serves as the national capital, and the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Florenia is named after the Floren family, previous owners of the land that is now the [[Dominion of Afula]] and the creators of [[Floren Pond]], the body of water which makes up the majority of the Kingdom's territory.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
''See main article: [[History of Florenia]]''<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Florenia was founded on 22 April 2011 by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] without any formal instrument or declaration. There had been a former nation on the same territory which had also been founded by the Prince a few months before and was known as the Republic of the Floren Lands. However, this nation was never truly established or developed, and is not thought of as a true predecessor state to modern Florenia, but rather a trial project.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The original flag of Florenia, now the flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]]]]<br />
===Pre-Kingdom===<br />
The Dominion of Afula was originally part of the [[w:United States|United States]], specifically the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]]. The area around Afula was originally settled in the early 1700s, with the first settlement within the modern day Dominion in 1786. It is known that a few years prior, in 1779, one Peleg Bradley sold the property to one Seth Bishop, the latter of whom is thought to have owned land around the area, for two thousand five hundred pounds. <br />
<br />
During the mid 1900s, the property was owned by the Floren family, a group of farmers of Swedish origin. It was a large farm that encompassed far more land than Florenia does today. The Florens subdivided their property into around eight plots which they sold, and converted a large marsh into a 17 acre pond by redirecting a small stream and removing trees and various other barriers. The family kept for themselves a property of about 8 acres, on which their house and barn were located, and the pond as their own property, which Florenia constitutes at present. After one change of ownership, the Floren's old property was bought by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Crown]] in January 1999.<br />
<br />
===Early Kingdom===<br />
Prince Nathan had no knowledge of the concept of micronations when he founded the original Republic of Florenia around 22 April 2011. This date is used as Florenia's official date of foundation and Independence Day, although it is now thought to be incorrect. The Prince abandoned the new nation for some time, and after a period of around three months, decided to return to the project. The designation of Republic was changed after the Prince realized that with a King, Florenia must be a Kingdom. Nathan then discovered that other small countries like Florenia existed, a finding which inspired him to further develop the young state. He declared himself Prime Minister around 17 August 2011. This date is used as the official date for beginning of his premiership. However, the original date of foundation of the Kingdom, 22 April, is used as the beginning of the reign of Eran. Before 17 August, Florenia was essentially operating under dictatorial rule by the Prince, and simple decisions made during that time are recognized by the current government. He began drafting a Constitution largely based on the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] political system, which was eventually completed in early September 2011 and signed on 5 September by Prince Nathan and Eran. This Constitution is not viewed as a guiding document like the Constitutions of other states, but rather as a legislative starting point and outline for the initial operation of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
===Post-Constitution===<br />
There was no official documented foundation of the Kingdom until the signing of the Constitution, which began by declaring Florenia an independent nation, separate from the [[w:United States|United States]], on 5 September 2011. The Constitution laid out many government functions, but was also very simply written, as it was intended by The Prince Nathan that further legislation would clarify any ambiguities. After the signing of the Constitution, many acts were passed in the one-man unofficial Parliament, although all Acts were following the Constitution. Many of the ideas and functions laid out in the Constitution have been changed officially, and the Constitution is thought of not as a basis of law but a starting point for the nation to be guided by. Due to the fact that the only member of Parliament is currently the Prime Minister, all of the laws are written and automatically approved by him, then given to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] to grant royal assent. <br />
<br />
Prince Nathan announced that, under the mandate of Act 6, the [[Florenian Election of 2011|first election]] for [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]] was to take place from 22–31 December 2011. Two candidates, The Prince Nathan and [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], announced their intentions to stand for election. Due to the fact that there were only two candidates, the primary elections did not occur, and instead the general election began immediately. Prince Henry dropped out of the election before voting commenced, allowing Prince Nathan to win be default. He was never officially sworn in as Prime Minister, but his position as leader of the Kingdom was solidified.<br />
<br />
The official outlining the functions of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] in an Act of the unofficial Parliament brought fourth many new Acts and Laws. This includes the foundations of the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Ministry of Defense]], the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], and the [[College of Arms of Florenia|College of Arms]]. All Acts passed under the previous unofficial Parliament still stand. Under the Parliament Act 2012, Prince Nathan was given powers of a [[Parliament of Florenia#Members|Member of Parliament]] until an election in late July. He won this election, and became Member of Parliament for the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Elections that were supposed to take place in December 2012 did not occur due to logistical flaw on behalf of the government. The government has reported no messages from disgruntled citizens of Florenia about the mistake. After consideration, the government ultimately decided against rescheduling the elections and instead simply continuing with the scheduled elections of the following year.<br />
<br />
In accordance with the Elections Act 2013, which was passed on 18 December, the [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 general election]] was scheduled for 22–30 December. On 18 December, Prince Nathan officially announced his candidacy for reelection via the release of the document signed by Eran giving him permission to seek the office. In accordance with the Elections Act, the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Ministry]] informed non-residential citizens of the election procedure and collected their votes. In order to execute this obligation in an organized manner, the elections were held electronically via an online polling system. Due to the fact that there was only one candidate, the ballot also had an against option, which, if it received a majority of the vote, would show a lack of confidence in the Prince Nathan and push further elections. Prince Nathan was able to obtain a large majority of the vote, with 87.5% of citizens who cast their ballot voting in his favor. <br />
<br />
Florenia's third year of independence began on 22 April 2014. Prince Nathan released a statement in which he affirmed the goal of overall growth for the kingdom in the year ahead. Acts outlining a newly formed Florenian Judiciary were expected to be passed by late April. After Prince Nathan announced that acts were being worked on, he said that it is a time consuming and tedious process.<br />
<br />
On 10 August, four Acts of Parliament were passed establishing the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. The Judicial Act 2014 outlined the Court and its structure of one Justice, who hears all cases and presents a verdict, and the Consuls of the Court, who review the verdicts for each case and approve them. Also passed was the Crime and Punishment Act 2014, which outlined in detail various low level and severe crimes, as well as their maximum and minimum sentences. The Ministry of Justice Act 2014 created the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]], the Florenian government ministry responsible for law enforcement and the administration of Justice. It is led by the Attorney General, who is the chief lawyer for the government, and is responsible for the prosecution of all alleged criminals. It also stipulated the creation of the Royal Police Force and the Bar Association. The final act passed was the Judicial Procedure and Precedence Act, which allowed Parliament to regulate the structure of trials.<br />
<br />
[[File:EranCipher.png|200px|thumb|right|Royal chipher of Eran]]<br />
In December 2014, uncertainty arose with regard to the future of the Florenian premiership as the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]] approached. By the morning of 21 December, no candidate, not even the incumbent Prince Nathan, had submitted their candidacy request to the Monarch. However, in the evening of 22 December, the Prince was confirmed to run by Eran, and the election was to begin in the same format as it had in the previous year; Prince Nathan as sole candidate attempting to obtain a majority over an "against" option.<br />
<br />
In a similar situation to the 2012 general elections, no voting was organized or took place, and plans to reschedule to early February fell through. The government issued a statement in late March, indicating that the failed elections displayed a feeling of unimportance among Florenian citizens, and that election reform would surely follow in the near future.<br />
<br />
===Personal rule===<br />
After over a year of inactivity, the King issued the [[November Declaration]] on 25 November 2016 in which he claimed temporary power and instructed the Prime Minister to begin drawing up plans for massive government reform. He also changed the style of the monarch to ''[[Majesty|His Majesty]]'', changed the name of the capital to Afula, and affirmed that the Monarch's right to rule is derived from Florenia's history and past owners of the land which it occupies. He also increased the powers of the Crown, declaring that the Government shall henceforth be known as His Majesty's Government, and that the Monarch would from now on formally appoint the Prime Minister and all government ministers.<br />
<br />
On 9 February 2017, Eran issued a royal decree in which he annexed his property that remained outside of the Kingdom as the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. This was the first expansion of Florenia's territory in its history and has long been anticipated due to Lexington's nature as the primary residence of the Monarch and royal family. In the same decree, the King declared that his residence at Afula will be known as the [[Palace of State]] and that it shall serve as the official headquarters of the government, while the residence at Lexington will be known as Lexington House and will serve as an alternative office for the government.<br />
<br />
After nearly three years of personal rule by Eran through The Prince Nathan, the latter announced on 5 September 2019, the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Florenian Constitution, that the government planned to unveil a plan to alter the government system drastically. The Prince indicated that the new structure would be based on “the participation of the entire Florenian populace through a direct democracy in conjunction with a constitutional monarchy.” While a timeline was not announced for the unveiling of the specifics of the plan, the Prince asserted that no change would be adopted without both royal assent and a national referendum. On 22 September, preliminary proposals were circulated by the Prince to Eran and were received positively. On 31 December, The Prince Nathan issued a statement announcing a "segment-by-segment" reform plan, noting that the government had changed course after initially attempting to organize a succinct, swift government overhaul. The piecemeal implementation of reforms will take place gradually, with the government paying particular attention to preserving Florenia's historical and cultural character.<br />
<br />
Constitution Day 2020 saw the announcement of a national referendum between 10 and 13 September on The Prince Nathan's constitutional reform plan outlined in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]]. The Resolution's adoption would signal popular support for a strong monarch and new administrative and advisory body in the Council of State, as well as for the Florenian principles of community, equality, and democratic involvement. <br />

The so-called [[Resolution referendum]] was ultimately rescheduled to and held between 17 and 19 April 2021, resulting in the Resolution's sound adoption by a majority of voters. On April 16, the government released the [[Resolution Plan]], a document outlining the process for implementing the new system of government, which divided the implementation into three major phases. The Referendum phase included the Resolution referendum and the concurrent preregistration of willing citizens to membership in Parliament. The Basis phase, during which Orders in Council and Acts of Parliament will be promulgated organizing the fundamental institutions of the state, is currently in progress. It will be followed by the Arrangements phase, consisting of the Crown's appointment of various state officials and the establishment of further government agencies. <br />
<br />
===Resolution system===<br />
At 6:04 PM on 26 April, Eran issued the first four Orders in Council, reestablishing Parliament, the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]], and the Crown Court, as well as describing the role of Ministers of State. This was the first substantive act under Florenia's new system, and at that moment the old system of government is considered to have ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
On 13 January 2022, Eran made the first appointments to the Council of State on Nathan’s recommendation, who continues to serve as Florenia’s de facto prime minister. [[Lady Deborah, Baroness of Plymouth]] was named inaugural [[Lord President of the Council]], becoming only the second person in history to chair the Florenian executive. [[Sarisha Danforth]] joined the government as Minister of State for Culture and for Foreign Affairs, [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]] was named to the post of Minister of State for Environment, and Nathan himself became Minister of State for General Affairs and secretary for the [[Council Office]], the government’s primary coordination and administrative support body.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
Florenia is governed within the context of a [[w:unitary|unitary]] [[w:semi-parliamentary|semi-parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The Florenian head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister. <br />
<br />
===Prime Minister===<br />
The [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] is the elected head of government and chief executive of the Kingdom of Florenia. He or she has the responsibility of the leading the [[Cabinet of Florenia|cabinet]] and recommending ministers for appointment by the monarch. The prime minister's duties include all listed under Article 3, Section 3 of the original Florenian constitution and all others created by acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]]. The inaugural and incumbent prime minister is [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], Florenia's founder.<br />
<br />
Unlike many nations with a prime minister and parliamentary system, the Florenian prime minister is not a legislative office but a separate executive office. The Florenian prime minister is more comparable to a presidential office than those of most other nations, as the prime minister is elected separately from Parliament and the prime minister need not command the support of Parliament. In his November 2016 decree, Eran proclaimed that the prime minister, and all government ministers, would be formally appointed by the monarch. <br />
<br />
===Monarchy===<br />
The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] is the official head of state of the Kingdom of Florenia. The Monarch has royal duties as well as parliamentary duties, such as attending parliamentary sessions and giving Royal Consent for acts and laws being passed. The current Monarch is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]]. He is the owner of a vast majority of the property within the Kingdom, and is the father of [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], and [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]], who are the first three in the line of succession to the Throne. The Monarch serves as an unbiased and not politically affiliated face of the government and of the nation as a whole, and is meant to keep the nation united regardless of the political associations of the government.<br />
<br />
The line of succession to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Florenian Throne]] is unlike those of most monarchies. It includes not only the immediate family of Eran, ending with his niece, but also [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]]'s father, [[Lord John, 1st Earl Fialko|The Earl Fialko]], and then her immediate family, ending with her sister. The reasoning behind this odd system is that although Eran is the Monarch, the Kingdom was founded when the royal couple had already been married, and it was found to be most fair to include both families in the line of succession. Only the family of the King is entitled to use royal titles; the family of the Queen only use the titles and styles associated with an Earl and his family.<br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
The [[Parliament of Florenia]] is comprised of the elected Members of Parliament of Florenian territories. Since there is one territory, its Member of Parliament carries out the law making process. The current Member of Parliament for Afula - although Parliament is currently suspended - is Prince Nathan, who is also Prime Minister. Parliament legislates for Florenia, but to fully pass a law, Royal Consent by the Monarch must be given. <br />
<br />
Parliament currently consists of Prince Nathan, who was officially elected on 29 July 2012. Under the constitution, a Member of Parliament, or Prime Minister, proposes and writes an act. Then, Parliament revises it and votes to pass it. Currently, the Prince types an act, and as there are no objections it is automatically passed by the simple act of himself proposing it. Then, he gives it to the King for consent (Royal Consent has so far not been refused). A wide range of acts are passed due to the stated belief of the Prime Minister that Acts for every aspect of the nation are needed to help codify Florenia's laws and make the country strong.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
[[File:Crown Court Florenia.png|200px|thumb|left|Official seal of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]]]]<br />
The Florenian Judiciary was established by four Acts of Parliament on 10 August 2014. The Judicial Act 2014 established the [[Crown Court of Florenia]] as the court to hear all criminal and civil cases of the Kingdom. The Court has one full seat, the Justice of the Crown Court, and two positions of review, the Consuls of the Court. The Justice of the Crown Court is responsible for hearing all cases and for presenting a verdict after the presentation of all evidence and the conclusion of the trial. The verdict must be reviewed by the two Consuls before it can be officially implemented. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the Prime Minister, approved by Parliament, and appointed by the Monarch, allowing the Monarch to posses a veto. <br />
<br />
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the administration of justice as well as law enforcement, the latter of which is carried out by the Royal Police Force. The Ministry is responsible for determining and prosecuting all individuals alleged of a crime, as well as regulating the body of attorneys of the Kingdom and licensing individuals to practice law, a responsibility it carries out through the Bar Association. The Ministry is led by the Attorney General, who, as well as serving as the administrator of the ministry, is the chief lawyer for the government, and the Deputy Attorney General, who assists the minister in his or her roles. <br />
<br />
The Justice of the Crown Court may issue a warrant for the arrest of any individual if the government has presented sufficient evidence in the Crown Court. Those alleged of a crime in Florenia are accorded certain rights by the Judicial Act 2014, such as the right to remain silent, the right to representation by an attorney, and the right to quick and concise trial. <br />
<br />
The Royal Police Force, or RPF, has the responsibility of preventing crime and criminal activity throughout the Kingdom, as well as detaining those alleged of a crime by the government after the issuing of a warrant. The RPF is led by the Royal Commissioner of Police, who reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General. The RPF was given almost complete autonomy to determine its structure and self manage by the Ministry of Justice Act 2014. The RPF has had no confrontation with any alleged criminal since its foundation. <br />
<br />
An integral piece of the 10 August Judicial legislation package, the Crime and Punishment Act 2014 described in detail various severe and low level crimes in the Kingdom, as well as their minimum and maximum sentences. The act laid out three distinct sentences that may be issued by the Justice of the Crown Court; expulsion, barring from entrance, and fines. Expulsion prevents the individual from ever entering the Kingdom for the remainder of their lifetime. Barring from entrance is separated into three degrees, the most severe of which prevents the individual from entering the Kingdom from two months to a year, the second of which from ten days to two months, and third from two days to a week. The least severe sentence is a fine, or a sum of money to be paid to the government by the individual.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
Military and defense responsibilities in Florenia are carried out by the [[Armed Forces of Florenia]], which is composed of two independent branches, [[Florenian Royal Army|His Majesty's Army]] and [[Florenian Royal Navy|His Majesty's Navy]], commonly referred to as the Royal Army and Royal Navy. Currently, the Royal Army is the only branch with enlisted or commissioned service people, and as such soldiers in the Royal Army are also responsible for the operation and upkeep of the Royal Navy's fleet.<br />
<br />
The [[w:Commander-in-Chief|Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces is, by definition, the Florenian Monarch, whose power is exercised by the Prime Minister. As such, all officers receive their commission in the name of the Monarch, however are in reality commissioned by the Prime Minister and his ministry, who has full command over the armed forces. The Prime Minister also appoints the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Minister of Defense]], who is responsible for the government ministry that manages and administrates the Royal Army and Navy. The Ministry of Defense has control over the organizational and rank structures of the armed forces, as well as the establishment of military commands and troop placements and movements.<br />
<br />
The Royal Army currently consists of one [[w:regiment|regiment]] which serves as the primary organizational formation of the branch; the Royal Guards Regiment. It is commanded by its [[w:Colonel|Colonel]], currently The Prince Nathan. The regiment consists of two battalions; the 1st battalion, which serves as the primary and full service unit, and 2nd battalion, which consists solely of reserve troops and has never been deployed or undergone serious training. The Royal Navy's fleet consists of two vessels; one canoe and one kayak, both owned by the Crown. The canoe, which has been under the ownership of the Crown for years before the Navy's founding, was manufactured by Great Canadian, and is propelled by two individuals. It can also seat up to two extra individuals. The kayak, a Pelican Pathfinder 100x, was purchased by the Crown on 22 July 2014, is piloted by one individual. It also has a cargo hold in the aft.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Foreign relations of the Kingdom of Florenia are managed by the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]]. Currently, there is one employee of the Ministry; the Minister, Prince Nathan, who was appointed by himself as Prime Minister to the position on 9 February 2013. Florenia was a full member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] from early 2013. However, after reform within the organization, the Kingdom's status was downgraded to observer. After being informed that the government had until 2 June 2014 to renew their membership, the government opted to allow the period to expire, losing Florenia's membership in the GUM. The decrease in rank had been noted by Prince Nathan, who claims that Florenia was forced to remain fairly inactive in the GUM because of time differences, but the Kingdom still found its membership in the organization important to its diplomatic relations. The government decided not to confirm their membership and leave the organization for an "indeterminate" amount of time.<br />
<br />
For two consecutive terms beginning on 13 June 2013, the Kingdom was on the Advancement Council of the GUM. Florenia has signed treaties with three nations, but finds that its relations with nations they have not signed agreements with are just as strong. Florenia currently has a policy of only recognizing nations which it sees as serious, that is, are not fantasy nations or are based solely online or on imaginary planets or landmasses. By law, recognition may be granted by the Foreign Ministry, and many nations that the Kingdom has not contacted are recognized. On 28 August 2014, the government reapplied for GUM membership, but received no reply.<br />
<br />
In recent years, Florenian foreign policy has been considered of lesser importance by the government. The Kingdom has of late not sought to extend recognition to any territories nor contacted any foreign government.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:Map of Florenia with Afula highlighted.svg|210px|thumb|right|Map of Florenia with Afula highlighted in red.]]<br />
Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories: the Dominion of Afula and the Dominion of Lexington. Afula is the much larger of the Kingdom's territories, rendering Lexington's size negligible by comparison. <br />
<br />
Afula is surrounded by the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]], and is comprised of four land masses, the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Afula has an approximate area of 25 acres, of which approximately 71% is water and 29% is land. The body of water, which is around 17.5 acres, is [[Floren Pond]], the pond for which Florenia is named. The pond was originally a marsh, and was turned into a pond when a river was opened intentionally opened into the area. Around the coast of Afula, the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep. However, in the center of the pond, water can reach up to 12 feet. <br />
<br />
The pond surrounds the [[Princes Islands]] group that consists of Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, which are named for the three children of Eran. Nathan Island is the only island that can be walked upon, and is decorated with a stone plaque commemorating the builders of the pond. Also, connected to Nathan Island by tree roots, is a small island named Izzy Island, after the Princes' cousin [[Lady Isabella, Duchess of Fishrock]]. Zachary Island is the second largest, and Henry Island the largest out of the three. However, both are overgrown with shrubbery and cannot be walked on or explored further than what can be seen from the water. Around the islands, the water is extremely shallow and the lake bed extremely rocky. <br />
<br />
The other terrain of Afula, around 7.5 acres in area, is made up of forest, tall grass, and a groomed yard. On the coast of the pond is [[Eran National Park]], a small forest which contains an old dilapidated stone wall, large boulders, and complete tree cover. Much of the land is also tall grass, which borders the pond and reaches all the way to the top of a large hill. Atop the hill that looks down on the pond is a well groomed, large yard with two main structures; the [[Palace of State]] and [[the Barn]]. The Palace of State is the residence of the Royal family while in Afula and the official headquarters of the government, and the Barn is a structure that held farming equipment under the properties original ownership. The Barn contains a loft with a bed, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area. The Barn is a quasi guest house, however is rarely used as such. Next to the Barn is a fenced in swimming pool.<br />

<br />
The highest point in the Dominion is around the Palace of State, with an elevation of approximately 1165 feet above sea level. The lowest point is and around Floren pond, with an elevation of approximately 1116 feet above sea level. At its longest point, at a heading of 17.34 degrees, Afula spans approximately 1956 feet across. At its narrowest point, running along the coast at a heading of approximately 123 degrees, the Dominion spans around 402 feet.<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Florenia has a [[w:humid continental climate|humid continental climate]] with hot summers and cold winters. Rainfall and snowfall are evenly divided among the months of the year, and yearly sunshine hours average 2,400. Summer is hot, humid and stormy throughout the Kingdom, with average highs of 76&nbsp;°F (24&nbsp;°C). Although summers are sunny, summer thunderstorms often bring quick downpours and thunder and lighting. Winters are generally cool to cold, with average temperatures of 35&nbsp;°F (1&nbsp;°C). Early spring (April) is coolish and mid and late spring (May/early June) is warm to hot.<br />

==Demographics==<br />
===Population===<br />
Florenia has a total population of fifteen, all of whom are eligible to vote in general elections upon reaching the age of ten. Only five of these fourteen are residents of the Kingdom, a status allowing them to vote in general elections as well as to vote for members of Parliament and stand for election for either post. All but one Florenian citizen have joined by their own accord; Florenian law dictates that any child born to a Florenian citizen is a Florenian citizen, and this clause has come into effect once. All Florenian citizens live full- or part-time on the [[w:East Coast of the United States|East Coast of the United States]].<br />
<br />
===Language===<br />
Although Florenia has no official language, [[w:English language|English]] is the only commonly spoken language among Florenian citizens, and all Florenian legislation and government business is written in English. Among Florenians, however, languages such as [[w:Hebrew|Hebrew]], [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]], [[w:French language|French]], and [[w:Latin|Latin]] are known and spoken by various individuals. Around 86% of Florenian citizens are native English speakers, around 7% are native Hebrew speakers, and 7% native Spanish speakers.<br />

The '''Dominion of Afula''' is the capital of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Afula was the first territory and the only land claimed by Florenia for nearly six years until the annexation of the [[Dominion of Lexington]] on 9 February 2017. Afula is owned almost entirely by [[Eran of Florenia]]. The Dominion elects one [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]], currently [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]]. Afula is made up of four landmasses; the main land mass and the [[Princes Islands]]. Afula contains [[Floren Pond]], from which the name "Florenia" is derived. The pond is man-made and was made by Carl and Nellie Floren, both deceased. The Pond is around 17.5 acres, which comprises the majority of Afula's territory. There are four islands in Floren Pond. The three larger ones are Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, named after the three Princes. Nathan Island is the only island fit to walk on and has a stone plaque commemorating the Floren family. It is connected by tree roots to the smallest island. The smallest is about 5&nbsp;ft by 5&nbsp;ft and was originally named Norton Island, after [[Emperor Norton]], by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]]. However, it was renamed Izzy Island by Prince Nathan after [[Lady Isabella]] when she took interest in the pond. <br />
<br />
The Florenian Constitution was signed in Afula on 5 September 2011 by Prince Nathan and Eran.<br />
<br />
On 25 November 2016, Eran renamed the Dominion to Afula by royal declaration. He also removed its designation as an electorate, as he suspended Parliament in the same edict. <br />
<br />
[[File:Eran National Park.jpg|225px|thumb|left|[[Eran National Park]] during autumn with [[Floren Pond]] in the background.]]<br />
<br />
Afula is currently the largest Florenian territory, and its 25 acres make up the vast majority of the Kingdom's land. There are two buildings in Afula. The first is the residence of the Royal Family, now known as the [[Palace of State]]. The Palace of State was an old farmhouse that was renovated by the Royal Family and houses sleeping and living arrangements for the members of the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch's]] immediate and extended families. It also serves as the official headquarters of the government. The second building is commonly referred to as [[the Barn]], and is sometimes used as an office for the Prime Minister. This building was used as a storage facility for farm equipment before being sold to Eran. It contains a small loft with a bed, and a bathroom, an open kitchen, and living space on the main level. Prince Nathan has expressed interest in giving the barn a real Florenian purpose, and has sometimes referred to it as the "capital building." <br />
<br />
Afula is also home to [[Eran National Park]], the only Florenian national park or protected area of any kind. It consists of a small forested area on the coast of Floren Pond and is approximately 2 acres in size. It was established by the passage of the Property Act 2013 on November 9 after the Environment Act 2013 created the designation of a national park on September 20. It is under the administration of the [[Ministry of Environment (Florenia)|Ministry of Environment]]. <br />

The '''Dominion of Lexington''' is the smaller of the two non-contiguous territories that comprise the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Annexed on 9 February 2017 by a royal declaration issued by [[Eran of Florenia]], Lexington is comprised entirely of Lexington House, the principal residence of the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] and the [[Florenian royal family]] despite the fact that the [[Palace of State]] in the [[Dominion of Afula]], Florenia's capital, is the Monarch's official residence and the headquarters of the government. Lexington House also serves an official office of the government. <br />
<br />
[[File:Hanging Flag of Florenia.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The [[Flag of Florenia|Florenian flag]] displayed in Lexington.]]<br />
The structure that houses Lexington House was completed in 1915, with the Crown purchasing the residence in 2010. Since this purchase, Lexington has been the primary residence of the royal family, yet remained outside of the Kingdom of Florenia. In February 2017, however, Eran and the government saw fit to finally annex Lexington, making it the first addition to Florenia's territory since independence in 2011. <br />

The '''Dominion of Afula''' is the capital of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Afula was the first territory and the only land claimed by Florenia for nearly six years until the annexation of the [[Dominion of Lexington]] on 9 February 2017. Afula is owned almost entirely by [[Eran of Florenia]]. The Dominion elects one [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]], currently [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]]. Afula is made up of four landmasses; the main land mass and the [[Princes Islands]]. Afula contains [[Floren Pond]], from which the name "Florenia" is derived. The pond is man-made and was made by Carl and Nellie Floren, both deceased. The Pond is around 17.5 acres, which comprises the majority of Afula's territory. There are four islands in Floren Pond. The three larger ones are Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, named after the three Princes. Nathan Island is the only island fit to walk on and has a stone plaque commemorating the Floren family. It is connected by tree roots to the smallest island. The smallest is about 5&nbsp;ft by 5&nbsp;ft and was originally named Norton Island, after [[Emperor Norton]], by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]]. However, it was renamed Izzy Island by Prince Nathan after [[Lady Isabella]] when she took interest in the pond. <br />
<br />
The Florenian Constitution was signed in Afula on 5 September 2011 by Prince Nathan and Eran.<br />
<br />
On 25 November 2016, Eran renamed the Dominion to Afula by royal declaration. He also removed its designation as an electorate, as he suspended Parliament in the same edict. <br />
<br />
[[File:Eran National Park.jpg|225px|thumb|left|[[Eran National Park]] during autumn with [[Floren Pond]] in the background.]]<br />
<br />
Afula is currently the largest Florenian territory, and its 25 acres make up the vast majority of the Kingdom's land. There are two buildings in Afula. The first is the residence of the Royal Family, now known as the [[Palace of State]]. The Palace of State was an old farmhouse that was renovated by the Royal Family and houses sleeping and living arrangements for the members of the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch's]] immediate and extended families. It also serves as the official headquarters of the government. The second building is commonly referred to as [[the Barn]], and is sometimes used as an office for the Prime Minister. This building was used as a storage facility for farm equipment before being sold to Eran. It contains a small loft with a bed, and a bathroom, an open kitchen, and living space on the main level. Prince Nathan has expressed interest in giving the barn a real Florenian purpose, and has sometimes referred to it as the "capital building." <br />
<br />
Afula is also home to [[Eran National Park]], the only Florenian national park or protected area of any kind. It consists of a small forested area on the coast of Floren Pond and is approximately 2 acres in size. It was established by the passage of the Property Act 2013 on November 9 after the Environment Act 2013 created the designation of a national park on September 20. It is under the administration of the [[Ministry of Environment (Florenia)|Ministry of Environment]]. <br />

'''Florenia''', officially the '''Kingdom of''' '''Florenia''', is a sovereign state with a [[constitutional monarchy]], most often characterized as a [[micronation]]. Florenia is situated on the [[w:eastern seaboard|eastern seaboard]] of [[w: North America|North America]] and is an [[w:Enclave|enclave country]] completely bordered by the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Florenia claims 24 acres of territory and has a population of 17, eleven of whom reside within the Kingdom. <br />
<br />
First settled around 1786, Florenia's independence was declared by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] in April [[2011]] after over 200 years under United States sovereignty. The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]], currently [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]], is the official head of state who has limited yet notable and specific powers and initially served solely as a figurehead and symbol of national unity and political neutrality. The position of Monarch has evolved from a completely ceremonial role to an active position in government, culminating in the [[November Declaration]], in which Eran instituted temporary personal rule. The Prince Nathan currently serves as [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], Florenia's head of government and chief executive. The legislative body of Florenia is the [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], a [[w:unicameral|unicameral]] body which has the authority to promulgate legislation. The entirety of the Kingdom's [[w:judiciary|judiciary]] is comprised of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories, the [[Dominion of Afula]], which serves as the national capital, and the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Florenia is named after the Floren family, previous owners of the land that is now the [[Dominion of Afula]] and the creators of [[Floren Pond]], the body of water which makes up the majority of the Kingdom's territory.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
''See main article: [[History of Florenia]]''<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Florenia was founded on 22 April 2011 by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] without any formal instrument or declaration. There had been a former nation on the same territory which had also been founded by the Prince a few months before and was known as the Republic of the Floren Lands. However, this nation was never truly established or developed, and is not thought of as a true predecessor state to modern Florenia, but rather a trial project.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The original flag of Florenia, now the flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]]]]<br />
===Pre-Kingdom===<br />
The Dominion of Afula was originally part of the [[w:United States|United States]], specifically the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]]. The area around Afula was originally settled in the early 1700s, with the first settlement within the modern day Dominion in 1786. It is known that a few years prior, in 1779, one Peleg Bradley sold the property to one Seth Bishop, the latter of whom is thought to have owned land around the area, for two thousand five hundred pounds. <br />
<br />
During the mid 1900s, the property was owned by the Floren family, a group of farmers of Swedish origin. It was a large farm that encompassed far more land than Florenia does today. The Florens subdivided their property into around eight plots which they sold, and converted a large marsh into a 17 acre pond by redirecting a small stream and removing trees and various other barriers. The family kept for themselves a property of about 8 acres, on which their house and barn were located, and the pond as their own property, which Florenia constitutes at present. After one change of ownership, the Floren's old property was bought by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Crown]] in January 1999.<br />
<br />
===Early Kingdom===<br />
Prince Nathan had no knowledge of the concept of micronations when he founded the original Republic of Florenia around 22 April 2011. This date is used as Florenia's official date of foundation and Independence Day, although it is now thought to be incorrect. The Prince abandoned the new nation for some time, and after a period of around three months, decided to return to the project. The designation of Republic was changed after the Prince realized that with a King, Florenia must be a Kingdom. Nathan then discovered that other small countries like Florenia existed, a finding which inspired him to further develop the young state. He declared himself Prime Minister around 17 August 2011. This date is used as the official date for beginning of his premiership. However, the original date of foundation of the Kingdom, 22 April, is used as the beginning of the reign of Eran. Before 17 August, Florenia was essentially operating under dictatorial rule by the Prince, and simple decisions made during that time are recognized by the current government. He began drafting a Constitution largely based on the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] political system, which was eventually completed in early September 2011 and signed on 5 September by Prince Nathan and Eran. This Constitution is not viewed as a guiding document like the Constitutions of other states, but rather as a legislative starting point and outline for the initial operation of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
===Post-Constitution===<br />
There was no official documented foundation of the Kingdom until the signing of the Constitution, which began by declaring Florenia an independent nation, separate from the [[w:United States|United States]], on 5 September 2011. The Constitution laid out many government functions, but was also very simply written, as it was intended by The Prince Nathan that further legislation would clarify any ambiguities. After the signing of the Constitution, many acts were passed in the one-man unofficial Parliament, although all Acts were following the Constitution. Many of the ideas and functions laid out in the Constitution have been changed officially, and the Constitution is thought of not as a basis of law but a starting point for the nation to be guided by. Due to the fact that the only member of Parliament is currently the Prime Minister, all of the laws are written and automatically approved by him, then given to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] to grant royal assent. <br />
<br />
Prince Nathan announced that, under the mandate of Act 6, the [[Florenian Election of 2011|first election]] for [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]] was to take place from 22–31 December 2011. Two candidates, The Prince Nathan and [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], announced their intentions to stand for election. Due to the fact that there were only two candidates, the primary elections did not occur, and instead the general election began immediately. Prince Henry dropped out of the election before voting commenced, allowing Prince Nathan to win be default. He was never officially sworn in as Prime Minister, but his position as leader of the Kingdom was solidified.<br />
<br />
The official outlining the functions of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] in an Act of the unofficial Parliament brought fourth many new Acts and Laws. This includes the foundations of the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Ministry of Defense]], the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], and the [[College of Arms of Florenia|College of Arms]]. All Acts passed under the previous unofficial Parliament still stand. Under the Parliament Act 2012, Prince Nathan was given powers of a [[Parliament of Florenia#Members|Member of Parliament]] until an election in late July. He won this election, and became Member of Parliament for the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Elections that were supposed to take place in December 2012 did not occur due to logistical flaw on behalf of the government. The government has reported no messages from disgruntled citizens of Florenia about the mistake. After consideration, the government ultimately decided against rescheduling the elections and instead simply continuing with the scheduled elections of the following year.<br />
<br />
In accordance with the Elections Act 2013, which was passed on 18 December, the [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 general election]] was scheduled for 22–30 December. On 18 December, Prince Nathan officially announced his candidacy for reelection via the release of the document signed by Eran giving him permission to seek the office. In accordance with the Elections Act, the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Ministry]] informed non-residential citizens of the election procedure and collected their votes. In order to execute this obligation in an organized manner, the elections were held electronically via an online polling system. Due to the fact that there was only one candidate, the ballot also had an against option, which, if it received a majority of the vote, would show a lack of confidence in the Prince Nathan and push further elections. Prince Nathan was able to obtain a large majority of the vote, with 87.5% of citizens who cast their ballot voting in his favor. <br />
<br />
Florenia's third year of independence began on 22 April 2014. Prince Nathan released a statement in which he affirmed the goal of overall growth for the kingdom in the year ahead. Acts outlining a newly formed Florenian Judiciary were expected to be passed by late April. After Prince Nathan announced that acts were being worked on, he said that it is a time consuming and tedious process.<br />
<br />
On 10 August, four Acts of Parliament were passed establishing the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. The Judicial Act 2014 outlined the Court and its structure of one Justice, who hears all cases and presents a verdict, and the Consuls of the Court, who review the verdicts for each case and approve them. Also passed was the Crime and Punishment Act 2014, which outlined in detail various low level and severe crimes, as well as their maximum and minimum sentences. The Ministry of Justice Act 2014 created the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]], the Florenian government ministry responsible for law enforcement and the administration of Justice. It is led by the Attorney General, who is the chief lawyer for the government, and is responsible for the prosecution of all alleged criminals. It also stipulated the creation of the Royal Police Force and the Bar Association. The final act passed was the Judicial Procedure and Precedence Act, which allowed Parliament to regulate the structure of trials.<br />
<br />
[[File:EranCipher.png|200px|thumb|right|Royal chipher of Eran]]<br />
In December 2014, uncertainty arose with regard to the future of the Florenian premiership as the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]] approached. By the morning of 21 December, no candidate, not even the incumbent Prince Nathan, had submitted their candidacy request to the Monarch. However, in the evening of 22 December, the Prince was confirmed to run by Eran, and the election was to begin in the same format as it had in the previous year; Prince Nathan as sole candidate attempting to obtain a majority over an "against" option.<br />
<br />
In a similar situation to the 2012 general elections, no voting was organized or took place, and plans to reschedule to early February fell through. The government issued a statement in late March, indicating that the failed elections displayed a feeling of unimportance among Florenian citizens, and that election reform would surely follow in the near future.<br />
<br />
===Personal rule===<br />
After over a year of inactivity, the King issued the [[November Declaration]] on 25 November 2016 in which he claimed temporary power and instructed the Prime Minister to begin drawing up plans for massive government reform. He also changed the style of the monarch to ''[[Majesty|His Majesty]]'', changed the name of the capital to Afula, and affirmed that the Monarch's right to rule is derived from Florenia's history and past owners of the land which it occupies. He also increased the powers of the Crown, declaring that the Government shall henceforth be known as His Majesty's Government, and that the Monarch would from now on formally appoint the Prime Minister and all government ministers.<br />
<br />
On 9 February 2017, Eran issued a royal decree in which he annexed his property that remained outside of the Kingdom as the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. This was the first expansion of Florenia's territory in its history and has long been anticipated due to Lexington's nature as the primary residence of the Monarch and royal family. In the same decree, the King declared that his residence at Afula will be known as the [[Palace of State]] and that it shall serve as the official headquarters of the government, while the residence at Lexington will be known as Lexington House and will serve as an alternative office for the government.<br />
<br />
After nearly three years of personal rule by Eran through The Prince Nathan, the latter announced on 5 September 2019, the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Florenian Constitution, that the government planned to unveil a plan to alter the government system drastically. The Prince indicated that the new structure would be based on “the participation of the entire Florenian populace through a direct democracy in conjunction with a constitutional monarchy.” While a timeline was not announced for the unveiling of the specifics of the plan, the Prince asserted that no change would be adopted without both royal assent and a national referendum. On 22 September, preliminary proposals were circulated by the Prince to Eran and were received positively. On 31 December, The Prince Nathan issued a statement announcing a "segment-by-segment" reform plan, noting that the government had changed course after initially attempting to organize a succinct, swift government overhaul. The piecemeal implementation of reforms will take place gradually, with the government paying particular attention to preserving Florenia's historical and cultural character.<br />
<br />
Constitution Day 2020 saw the announcement of a national referendum between 10 and 13 September on The Prince Nathan's constitutional reform plan outlined in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]]. The Resolution's adoption would signal popular support for a strong monarch and new administrative and advisory body in the Council of State, as well as for the Florenian principles of community, equality, and democratic involvement. <br />
<br />
The so-called [[Resolution referendum]] was ultimately rescheduled to and held between 17 and 19 April 2021, resulting in the Resolution's sound adoption by a majority of voters. On April 16, the government released the [[Resolution Plan]], a document outlining the process for implementing the new system of government, which divided the implementation into three major phases. The Referendum phase included the Resolution referendum and the concurrent preregistration of willing citizens to membership in Parliament. The Basis phase, during which Orders in Council and Acts of Parliament will be promulgated organizing the fundamental institutions of the state, is currently in progress. It will be followed by the Arrangements phase, consisting of the Crown's appointment of various state officials and the establishment of further government agencies. <br />
<br />
===Resolution system===<br />
At 6:04 PM on 26 April, Eran issued the first four Orders in Council, reestablishing Parliament, the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]], and the Crown Court, as well as describing the role of Ministers of State. This was the first substantive act under Florenia's new system, and at that moment the old system of government is considered to have ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
On 13 January 2022, Eran made the first appointments to the Council of State on Nathan’s recommendation, who continues to serve as Florenia’s de facto prime minister. [[Lady Deborah, Baroness of Plymouth]] was named inaugural [[Lord President of the Council]], becoming only the second person in history to chair the Florenian executive. [[Sarisha Danforth]] joined the government as Minister of State for Culture and for Foreign Affairs, [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]] was named to the post of Minister of State for Environment, and Nathan himself became Minister of State for General Affairs and secretary for the [[Council Office]], the government’s primary coordination and administrative support body.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
Florenia is governed within the context of a [[w:unitary|unitary]] [[w:semi-parliamentary|semi-parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The Florenian head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister. <br />
<br />
===Prime Minister===<br />
The [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] is the elected head of government and chief executive of the Kingdom of Florenia. He or she has the responsibility of the leading the [[Cabinet of Florenia|cabinet]] and recommending ministers for appointment by the monarch. The prime minister's duties include all listed under Article 3, Section 3 of the original Florenian constitution and all others created by acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]]. The inaugural and incumbent prime minister is [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], Florenia's founder.<br />
<br />
Unlike many nations with a prime minister and parliamentary system, the Florenian prime minister is not a legislative office but a separate executive office. The Florenian prime minister is more comparable to a presidential office than those of most other nations, as the prime minister is elected separately from Parliament and the prime minister need not command the support of Parliament. In his November 2016 decree, Eran proclaimed that the prime minister, and all government ministers, would be formally appointed by the monarch. <br />
<br />
===Monarchy===<br />
The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] is the official head of state of the Kingdom of Florenia. The Monarch has royal duties as well as parliamentary duties, such as attending parliamentary sessions and giving Royal Consent for acts and laws being passed. The current Monarch is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]]. He is the owner of a vast majority of the property within the Kingdom, and is the father of [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], and [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]], who are the first three in the line of succession to the Throne. The Monarch serves as an unbiased and not politically affiliated face of the government and of the nation as a whole, and is meant to keep the nation united regardless of the political associations of the government.<br />
<br />
The line of succession to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Florenian Throne]] is unlike those of most monarchies. It includes not only the immediate family of Eran, ending with his niece, but also [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]]'s father, [[Lord John, 1st Earl Fialko|The Earl Fialko]], and then her immediate family, ending with her sister. The reasoning behind this odd system is that although Eran is the Monarch, the Kingdom was founded when the royal couple had already been married, and it was found to be most fair to include both families in the line of succession. Only the family of the King is entitled to use royal titles; the family of the Queen only use the titles and styles associated with an Earl and his family.<br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
The [[Parliament of Florenia]] is comprised of the elected Members of Parliament of Florenian territories. Since there is one territory, its Member of Parliament carries out the law making process. The current Member of Parliament for Afula - although Parliament is currently suspended - is Prince Nathan, who is also Prime Minister. Parliament legislates for Florenia, but to fully pass a law, Royal Consent by the Monarch must be given. <br />
<br />
Parliament currently consists of Prince Nathan, who was officially elected on 29 July 2012. Under the constitution, a Member of Parliament, or Prime Minister, proposes and writes an act. Then, Parliament revises it and votes to pass it. Currently, the Prince types an act, and as there are no objections it is automatically passed by the simple act of himself proposing it. Then, he gives it to the King for consent (Royal Consent has so far not been refused). A wide range of acts are passed due to the stated belief of the Prime Minister that Acts for every aspect of the nation are needed to help codify Florenia's laws and make the country strong.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
[[File:Crown Court Florenia.png|200px|thumb|left|Official seal of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]]]]<br />
The Florenian Judiciary was established by four Acts of Parliament on 10 August 2014. The Judicial Act 2014 established the [[Crown Court of Florenia]] as the court to hear all criminal and civil cases of the Kingdom. The Court has one full seat, the Justice of the Crown Court, and two positions of review, the Consuls of the Court. The Justice of the Crown Court is responsible for hearing all cases and for presenting a verdict after the presentation of all evidence and the conclusion of the trial. The verdict must be reviewed by the two Consuls before it can be officially implemented. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the Prime Minister, approved by Parliament, and appointed by the Monarch, allowing the Monarch to posses a veto. <br />
<br />
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the administration of justice as well as law enforcement, the latter of which is carried out by the Royal Police Force. The Ministry is responsible for determining and prosecuting all individuals alleged of a crime, as well as regulating the body of attorneys of the Kingdom and licensing individuals to practice law, a responsibility it carries out through the Bar Association. The Ministry is led by the Attorney General, who, as well as serving as the administrator of the ministry, is the chief lawyer for the government, and the Deputy Attorney General, who assists the minister in his or her roles. <br />
<br />
The Justice of the Crown Court may issue a warrant for the arrest of any individual if the government has presented sufficient evidence in the Crown Court. Those alleged of a crime in Florenia are accorded certain rights by the Judicial Act 2014, such as the right to remain silent, the right to representation by an attorney, and the right to quick and concise trial. <br />
<br />
The Royal Police Force, or RPF, has the responsibility of preventing crime and criminal activity throughout the Kingdom, as well as detaining those alleged of a crime by the government after the issuing of a warrant. The RPF is led by the Royal Commissioner of Police, who reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General. The RPF was given almost complete autonomy to determine its structure and self manage by the Ministry of Justice Act 2014. The RPF has had no confrontation with any alleged criminal since its foundation. <br />
<br />
An integral piece of the 10 August Judicial legislation package, the Crime and Punishment Act 2014 described in detail various severe and low level crimes in the Kingdom, as well as their minimum and maximum sentences. The act laid out three distinct sentences that may be issued by the Justice of the Crown Court; expulsion, barring from entrance, and fines. Expulsion prevents the individual from ever entering the Kingdom for the remainder of their lifetime. Barring from entrance is separated into three degrees, the most severe of which prevents the individual from entering the Kingdom from two months to a year, the second of which from ten days to two months, and third from two days to a week. The least severe sentence is a fine, or a sum of money to be paid to the government by the individual.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
Military and defense responsibilities in Florenia are carried out by the [[Armed Forces of Florenia]], which is composed of two independent branches, [[Florenian Royal Army|His Majesty's Army]] and [[Florenian Royal Navy|His Majesty's Navy]], commonly referred to as the Royal Army and Royal Navy. Currently, the Royal Army is the only branch with enlisted or commissioned service people, and as such soldiers in the Royal Army are also responsible for the operation and upkeep of the Royal Navy's fleet.<br />
<br />
The [[w:Commander-in-Chief|Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces is, by definition, the Florenian Monarch, whose power is exercised by the Prime Minister. As such, all officers receive their commission in the name of the Monarch, however are in reality commissioned by the Prime Minister and his ministry, who has full command over the armed forces. The Prime Minister also appoints the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Minister of Defense]], who is responsible for the government ministry that manages and administrates the Royal Army and Navy. The Ministry of Defense has control over the organizational and rank structures of the armed forces, as well as the establishment of military commands and troop placements and movements.<br />
<br />
The Royal Army currently consists of one [[w:regiment|regiment]] which serves as the primary organizational formation of the branch; the Royal Guards Regiment. It is commanded by its [[w:Colonel|Colonel]], currently The Prince Nathan. The regiment consists of two battalions; the 1st battalion, which serves as the primary and full service unit, and 2nd battalion, which consists solely of reserve troops and has never been deployed or undergone serious training. The Royal Navy's fleet consists of two vessels; one canoe and one kayak, both owned by the Crown. The canoe, which has been under the ownership of the Crown for years before the Navy's founding, was manufactured by Great Canadian, and is propelled by two individuals. It can also seat up to two extra individuals. The kayak, a Pelican Pathfinder 100x, was purchased by the Crown on 22 July 2014, is piloted by one individual. It also has a cargo hold in the aft.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Foreign relations of the Kingdom of Florenia are managed by the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]]. Currently, there is one employee of the Ministry; the Minister, Prince Nathan, who was appointed by himself as Prime Minister to the position on 9 February 2013. Florenia was a full member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] from early 2013. However, after reform within the organization, the Kingdom's status was downgraded to observer. After being informed that the government had until 2 June 2014 to renew their membership, the government opted to allow the period to expire, losing Florenia's membership in the GUM. The decrease in rank had been noted by Prince Nathan, who claims that Florenia was forced to remain fairly inactive in the GUM because of time differences, but the Kingdom still found its membership in the organization important to its diplomatic relations. The government decided not to confirm their membership and leave the organization for an "indeterminate" amount of time.<br />
<br />
For two consecutive terms beginning on 13 June 2013, the Kingdom was on the Advancement Council of the GUM. Florenia has signed treaties with three nations, but finds that its relations with nations they have not signed agreements with are just as strong. Florenia currently has a policy of only recognizing nations which it sees as serious, that is, are not fantasy nations or are based solely online or on imaginary planets or landmasses. By law, recognition may be granted by the Foreign Ministry, and many nations that the Kingdom has not contacted are recognized. On 28 August 2014, the government reapplied for GUM membership, but received no reply.<br />
<br />
In recent years, Florenian foreign policy has been considered of lesser importance by the government. The Kingdom has of late not sought to extend recognition to any territories nor contacted any foreign government.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:AfulaMapColor.png|200px|thumb|right|A map of Afula with [[Floren Pond]] in blue, [[Eran National Park]] in green, and all other crown property in yellow.]]<br />
Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories: the Dominion of Afula and the Dominion of Lexington. Afula is the much larger of the Kingdom's territories, rendering Lexington's size negligible by comparison. <br />
<br />
Afula is surrounded by the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]], and is comprised of four land masses, the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Afula has an approximate area of 25 acres, of which approximately 71% is water and 29% is land. The body of water, which is around 17.5 acres, is [[Floren Pond]], the pond for which Florenia is named. The pond was originally a marsh, and was turned into a pond when a river was opened intentionally opened into the area. Around the coast of Afula, the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep. However, in the center of the pond, water can reach up to 12 feet. <br />
<br />
The pond surrounds the [[Princes Islands]] group that consists of Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, which are named for the three children of Eran. Nathan Island is the only island that can be walked upon, and is decorated with a stone plaque commemorating the builders of the pond. Also, connected to Nathan Island by tree roots, is a small island named Izzy Island, after the Princes' cousin [[Lady Isabella, Duchess of Fishrock]]. Zachary Island is the second largest, and Henry Island the largest out of the three. However, both are overgrown with shrubbery and cannot be walked on or explored further than what can be seen from the water. Around the islands, the water is extremely shallow and the lake bed extremely rocky. <br />
<br />
The other terrain of Afula, around 7.5 acres in area, is made up of forest, tall grass, and a groomed yard. On the coast of the pond is [[Eran National Park]], a small forest which contains an old dilapidated stone wall, large boulders, and complete tree cover. Much of the land is also tall grass, which borders the pond and reaches all the way to the top of a large hill. Atop the hill that looks down on the pond is a well groomed, large yard with two main structures; the [[Palace of State]] and [[the Barn]]. The Palace of State is the residence of the Royal family while in Afula and the official headquarters of the government, and the Barn is a structure that held farming equipment under the properties original ownership. The Barn contains a loft with a bed, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area. The Barn is a quasi guest house, however is rarely used as such. Next to the Barn is a fenced in swimming pool.<br />

</gallery></center><br />
<br />
The highest point in the Dominion is around the Palace of State, with an elevation of approximately 1165 feet above sea level. The lowest point is and around Floren pond, with an elevation of approximately 1116 feet above sea level. At its longest point, at a heading of 17.34 degrees, Afula spans approximately 1956 feet across. At its narrowest point, running along the coast at a heading of approximately 123 degrees, the Dominion spans around 402 feet.<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Florenia has a [[w:humid continental climate|humid continental climate]] with hot summers and cold winters. Rainfall and snowfall are evenly divided among the months of the year, and yearly sunshine hours average 2,400. Summer is hot, humid and stormy throughout the Kingdom, with average highs of 76&nbsp;°F (24&nbsp;°C). Although summers are sunny, summer thunderstorms often bring quick downpours and thunder and lighting. Winters are generally cool to cold, with average temperatures of 35&nbsp;°F (1&nbsp;°C). Early spring (April) is coolish and mid and late spring (May/early June) is warm to hot.<br />

==Demographics==<br />
===Population===<br />
Florenia has a total population of fifteen, all of whom are eligible to vote in general elections upon reaching the age of ten. Only five of these fourteen are residents of the Kingdom, a status allowing them to vote in general elections as well as to vote for members of Parliament and stand for election for either post. All but one Florenian citizen have joined by their own accord; Florenian law dictates that any child born to a Florenian citizen is a Florenian citizen, and this clause has come into effect once. All Florenian citizens live full- or part-time on the [[w:East Coast of the United States|East Coast of the United States]].<br />
<br />
===Language===<br />
Although Florenia has no official language, [[w:English language|English]] is the only commonly spoken language among Florenian citizens, and all Florenian legislation and government business is written in English. Among Florenians, however, languages such as [[w:Hebrew|Hebrew]], [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]], [[w:French language|French]], and [[w:Latin|Latin]] are known and spoken by various individuals. Around 86% of Florenian citizens are native English speakers, around 7% are native Hebrew speakers, and 7% native Spanish speakers.<br />

Hi Jonathan I!<br />
<br />
I have a few questions about Austenasia's government.<br />
#Does the monarch have any government powers, despite not being the Head of Government?<br />
#How do those government powers differ from that of the Prime Minister?<br />
#What powers does the Prime Minister hold that the monarch doesn't?<br />

<br />
:Howdy, {{ping|User:Liahonia.gov}}. I am William, the Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia. If you don't mind, I think I can answer some of those questions for you.<br><br>Yes, the monarch has the ability to issue Decrees and Edicts. The former is a binding form of legislation that can only be dissolved by the House of Representatives and the latter is a form of legislation that only applies to Crown Property (and other aristocratic areas). They also, along with the Prime Minister, have the ability to ratify treaties with other nations.<br><br>The Prime Minister is seen as an office held by the will of the people as they are from where political power stems. The monarch is a position that is the embodiment of the nation and unstated representative of the divine. While both have an influential place in government, the Prime Minister is the 'people' side and the monarch is the 'spirit' side.<br><br>Nominate cabinet ministers for appointment, appoint the Counsuls every new year, appoint a Consul suffectus in the case of a vacancy. These are powers the Prime Minster holds solely.<br />

<br />
:::Howdy again, {{ping|User:Liahonia.gov}} To answer your question, there is a very great difference. While analogous in hierarchy to the Vice President of the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) of Austenasia doesn't wield any power nor does hold any conjoined office. The DPM's purpose is to become the Acting Prime Minster in the case of the Prime Minister's death or resignation. Up until recently, the DPM was not even considered part of the Cabinet. Officially the position is powerless, however, the implied powers come from having the confidence of the Prime Minister. --[[User:William GF Wilson|Billiam Bilson]] 03:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC)<br />

== Becoming an Administrator ==<br />
<br />
How would one become a MicroWiki administrator? Is there an underlying criterion to even be considered for the position?<br />
<br />
Other than this, reasons I should be considered for the position:<br />
<br />
* I have started two [[MicroWiki: MicroProject|MicroProjects]] ([[MicroWiki:MicroProject Current Events|this]] & [[MicroWiki:MicroProject Userboxes|this]])<br />
<br />
* My article [[Penn Federal Republic]] is currently on the [[Good articles]] nominations with a (as of writing) 2:0 vote.<br />
<br />
* I am active on MicroWiki, being on at least an hour per weekday. (Bored at school, lots of free time.)<br />
<br />
* Assisted many new users, including welcome messages and responding to follow-up questions. To the point where I was informed that most of them are [[W:WP:SOCK]] by a former administrator, therefor being a waste of my time.<br />
<br />
* Started a Micronations Club in my high school. (First in the world!) Through this, I have had real people I know to register in MicroWiki (and claimed responsibility that I will speak with them if they do stupid things on MicroWiki that break rules or anything).<br />
<br />
* Micronationalist for over a year, over 500 edits, and follow up on users that make large removals of bytes on pages or blank them.<br />
<br />
* and more!<br />
<br />
Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much.<br />

== Spambot filter ==<br />
<br />
I've seen that this wiki has a lot of spambots. A suggestion that I would give is to implement this abuse filter - it's from en.uncyclopedia.co (where I am a rollbacker and abuse filter helper) called "Spambots that use br tags":<br />
<pre style="font-size:unset;"><br />
user_editcount < 15 &<br />
!(article_text rlike "User:*/*\.js") &<br />
("<br>" in new_wikitext)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The reason is that MediaWiki lets you add newlines already without br tags, but this certain family of MediaWiki spambots (maybe a popular spammer that sells services for spamming, or a software usually used for spam?) only uses br tags.

== Suggestion ==<br />
<br />
@[[User:Austenasia|Austenasia]]<br />
<br />
As someone who frequently moniters the gallery of new files, I want to make the following suggestion:<br />
<br />
When a user clicks on the "upload file" button, I think a summary of the [[MW:FNC|File name policy]] should appear prior to the upload wizard, which may reduce the number of files that are improperly named. <br />
<br />

'''The Barn''' is the second-largest building in the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Located in the [[Dominion of Afula]], Florenia's capital, the Barn is the property of [[Monarchy of Florenia|the Crown]]. Along with the [[Palace of State]], it is one of only two free-standing buildings in the Kingdom. The Barn has a large garage attached on its western side, a space which is used for storage. <br />
<br />
Completed in 1900 and used as farm storage, the Barn was later renovated for use as an art studio prior to its purchase by the Crown. The Barn is now used as a recreation space by the [[Florenian royal family]], with the Crown completing extensive structural and cosmetic renovations of the building in 2020 to further that purpose following many years of falling into disuse and disrepair. This project included the addition of many doors and windows, the alteration of a small kitchen, and refitting the exterior with blue-gray siding over the Barn's previous distinctive yellow. Renovations also included the replacement of the large elevated deck and large windows on its eastern side which overlook [[Floren Pond]] and the [[Princes Islands]]. It also houses the Barn Bookshelves, the largest location of the [[Florenia|Florenian Library]].<br />
<br />
The Barn was designated as the official meeting place for the [[Parliament of Florenia]] in the [[Parliament Act 2024]].<br />

The '''Parliament of Florenia''' is the [[w:Parliamentary supremacy|supreme]] [[w:Legislature|legislative body]] of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. A [[w:Direct democracy|direct democracy]], all adult Florenian citizens are entitled to membership, and Parliament operates in pursuit of [[w:Consensus politics|consensus]] rather than [[w:Majority rule|majority rule]]. Parliament delegates certain powers to the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]], a smaller body which also exercises executive power on behalf of the [[Monarchy of Florenia|sovereign]], so that it may legislate if necessary between parliamentary sittings. With complete oversight over the Council's and the entire government's activities, Parliament can remove any officer of the Crown, overturn any of the executive's actions, and amend or restrict the Council's powers and duties. Parliament ultimately possesses [[w:Legislative supremacy|legislative supremacy]], and as such can theoretically issue any law though, in practice, respects Florenia's central institutions, including the [[Monarchy of Florenia|monarchy]].<br />
<br />
Initially founded on 5 September 2011 with the signing of Florenia's 2011 Constitution, [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] served as Parliament's sole member despite lacking an [[w:Electoral mandate|electoral mandate]] and legal basis for his membership. The [[Legislation in Florenia|Parliament Act 2012]] received [[w:Royal assent|royal assent]] from [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]] on 22 July 2012, laying out many of Parliament's key functions and electoral procedures, and the Prince was elected Member of Parliament for [[Afula]] on 29 July. Nathan continued to serve as Parliament's sole member in what is now known as [[Nathan's Parliament]], drafting and passing all legislation and significantly developing the Florenian state with the general support of the populace until Parliament was suspended by the [[November Declaration]] on 25 November 2016.<br />
<br />
As part of the implementation of the [[Resolution Plan]] in April 2021, Parliament was reestablished in its current form on 26 April by an [[w:Order in Council|Order in Council]] following the [[Resolution referendum]]. Citizens were eligible to register for membership for a few days prior, and Parliament immediately passed a series of legislation helping to establish the basis for the new Florenian state. Parliament described many of its functions and procedures, recognized the position of the Crown, granted the Council of State to legislate on its behalf at Parliament's pleasure, outlined the purpose of the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]], and asserted it's control over the Kingdom's citizenship.<br />

The '''Crown Court of Florenia''' is the court of general jurisdiction for the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Established in 2014, the Court was reconstituted in a new form with the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in 2021. Florenia no longer has a traditional punitive legal system, and Order in Council III Eran 2021 (The Crown Court) establishes that the Crown Court will serve to mediate in disputes between citizens and in cases of alleged violations of [[Law of Florenia|Florenian law]].<br />
<br />
The Crown Court is presided over by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|sovereign]] or by an appointed commissioner. It’s new formal arrangements have yet to be more specifically outlined in statute.<br />
==History==<br />
===Before 2021===<br />
The Crown Court was established by the Judicial Act 2014, which was passed by [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] on August 10. The Act outlined the various functions of the court, as well as its general structure and terminology to be used. The Act describes two types of cases that may be heard by the court; civil and criminal. Criminal cases are suits brought up by a private individual or organization against another individual or organization or the government due to a breach of contract or non-criminal breach of Florenian law. Criminal cases are suits brought up by the government against an individual or organization due to a breach of Florenian law. Criminal cases are handled by the Ministry of Justice and its government minister, the Attorney General, who is the government's chief lawyer and legal adviser. <br />
<br />
The Court was responsible for hearing all criminal and civil cases brought up in the Kingdom either by the Government via the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]] or a private citizen or organization. The Crown Court is presided over by one Justice, who hears all cases and presents verdicts. All verdicts are reviewed by two consuls of the court, who either approve the verdict and its sentences, or reject it. If both Consuls reject it, the two parties must work together in the presentation of a verdict. If only one consul opposes, the Justice is legally obligated to review his or her decision. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], approved by [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], and appointed by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]. None of the positions have been filled yet.<br />
<br />
The Court is required to obey Florenian law when making decisions, and Acts of Parliament have been passed outlining criminal activity and sentencing. The Crime and Punishment Act 2014, passed with the Judicial Act, outlined over thirty crimes in the Kingdom and described the minimum and maximum sentences that may be given by the Justice of the Crown Court. The Justice of the Court is legally obligated to adhere to all restrictions in sentencing, procedure, and precedent set in place by Parliament.<br />
<br />
===2021 to present===<br />
With the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in April 2021, Florenia’s original legal system and [[2011 Constitution of Florenia|2011 Constitution]] ceased to exist. The Crown Court was then reestablished in its current form by the Resolution itself and then later by Order in Council III Eran 2021 (The Crown Court). It’s specific functions are expected to be outlined by Parliament, and it is unlikely that any legal disputes will arise in the near future. <br />

<div>[[File:FloreniaArms.png|220px|thumb|right|[[Royal coat of arms of Florenia]], 2011-2021]]<br />
The '''historical statutes of Florenia''' comprise the entirety of the [[Law of Florenia]] enacted between the kingdom’s foundation in 2011 and the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in April 2021. While certain statutes, such as those annexing territory and creating national symbols, remain in force, Florenia’s former political system ceased to exist with the Resolution. <br />
<br />
Historical statutes comprise an important source of the development of Florenia’s political and legal systems and provide insight into the previously established political practices. As the Kingdom now operates under an [[w:uncodified constitution|uncodified constitution]], much of which evolved before the Resolution system, the historical statutes remain relevant in the present day.<br />
<br />
Legislation was carried out via two primary modes. Acts of Parliament were passed by the [[Nathan's Parliament|Parliament of Florenia]] by majority vote and entered into law only after being granted royal assent by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]; in reality, [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] was parliament’s sole member during this time, giving him control of the legislative process. Royal decrees and letters patent were issued unilaterally by the monarch, although they are limited by parliamentary statute. On 25 November 2016, [[Eran of Florenia]] issued the [[November Declaration]], which suspended Parliament and declared that his decrees would carry (in the interim) the authority of Acts of Parliament.<br />

The '''Crown Court of Florenia''' is the court of general jurisdiction for the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. Established in 2014, the Court was reconstituted in a new form with the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in 2021. Florenia no longer has a traditional punitive legal system, and Order in Council IV Eran 2021 (The Crown Court) establishes that the Crown Court will serve to mediate in disputes between citizens and in cases of alleged violations of [[Law of Florenia|Florenian law]].<br />
<br />
The Crown Court is presided over by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|sovereign]] or by an appointed commissioner. It’s new formal arrangements have yet to be more specifically outlined in statute.<br />
==History==<br />
===Before 2021===<br />
The Crown Court was established by the Judicial Act 2014, which was passed by [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] on August 10. The Act outlined the various functions of the court, as well as its general structure and terminology to be used. The Act describes two types of cases that may be heard by the court; civil and criminal. Criminal cases are suits brought up by a private individual or organization against another individual or organization or the government due to a breach of contract or non-criminal breach of Florenian law. Criminal cases are suits brought up by the government against an individual or organization due to a breach of Florenian law. Criminal cases are handled by the Ministry of Justice and its government minister, the Attorney General, who is the government's chief lawyer and legal adviser. <br />
<br />
The Court was responsible for hearing all criminal and civil cases brought up in the Kingdom either by the Government via the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]] or a private citizen or organization. The Crown Court is presided over by one Justice, who hears all cases and presents verdicts. All verdicts are reviewed by two consuls of the court, who either approve the verdict and its sentences, or reject it. If both Consuls reject it, the two parties must work together in the presentation of a verdict. If only one consul opposes, the Justice is legally obligated to review his or her decision. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], approved by [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], and appointed by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]. None of the positions have been filled yet.<br />
<br />
The Court is required to obey Florenian law when making decisions, and Acts of Parliament have been passed outlining criminal activity and sentencing. The Crime and Punishment Act 2014, passed with the Judicial Act, outlined over thirty crimes in the Kingdom and described the minimum and maximum sentences that may be given by the Justice of the Crown Court. The Justice of the Court is legally obligated to adhere to all restrictions in sentencing, procedure, and precedent set in place by Parliament.<br />
<br />
===2021 to present===<br />
With the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in April 2021, Florenia’s original legal system and [[2011 Constitution of Florenia|2011 Constitution]] ceased to exist. The Crown Court was then reestablished in its current form by the Resolution itself and then later by Order in Council IV Eran 2021 (The Crown Court). It’s specific functions are expected to be outlined by Parliament, and it is unlikely that any legal disputes will arise in the near future. <br />

<hr />
<div>{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
The '''Law of Florenia''' consists of a unique blend of legal systems and is grounded in the principles of [[w:Direct democracy|direct democracy]] and [[w:Consensus politics|consensus politics]]. Operating under neither a civil law nor common law system, the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]] serves as the sole judicial authority and functions in pursuit of restorative justice and reconciliation rather than issuing punitive sentences. These principles are enumerated in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], the kingdom’s central constitutional document and basis of the modern state. The Crown Court is presided over by [[Monarchy of Florenia|the sovereign]] or an appointed commissioner, though it has never convened. <br />
<br />
Legislation in Florenia comprises various forms and has multiple origins. While acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] take precedence over all other legislation, statutes are often issued by the Crown as orders in council under the advice of the government. The government can also issue orders of council, by which the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]] exercises powers delegated it by Parliament and the Crown. The Resolution is considered to confirm parliamentary sovereignty, allowing parliament the right to issue any law, and thereby distinguishing it as the supreme legislative body of the state.<br />
<br />
Clause IV of the Resolution on Florenian Government stipulates that “Florenia will not have a legal system which seeks to punish offenses and will not engage in restricting the behavior by statute by and large.” As such, Florenian law is distinctly limited in nature, and it does not tend enumerate penalties for violations.<br />
<br />
==Constitution==<br />
Florenia operated under [[2011 Constitution of Florenia|a codified constitution]] from 5 September 2011 until 25 November 2016 upon the promulgation of the [[November Declaration]], a royal decree suspending Parliament and reorganizing the state. However, the 2011 constitution remained active statute law and the basis of Florenia’s governmental arrangements during this time. <br />
<br />
The November Declaration also instructed the government to begin planning for major institutional reform. It wasn’t until September 2020 that such plans were officially announced in the form of the Resolution on Florenian Government. On 26 April 2021, the Resolution was adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]] by the Florenian public, and the 2011 constitution and system of government described therein were formally struck down. <br />
<br />
[[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], the author of the Resolution, intentionally opted to avoid overly specific descriptions of state bodies and functions, instead outlining broad principles to guide the kingdom and its government. This was in direct response to the lethargy in previous reform attempts due to the specificity in and restrictive nature of the previous codified constitutional system. Instead, the Resolution system allows for development and flexibility in governance, and is seen as a mere piece of an organic web of constitutional documents and conventions. <br />
<br />
Adopted in a national referendum and calling for the establishment of a direct democratic parliament, the resolution places the ultimate legitimacy of the state and its constitutional arrangements in the public. Clause VI of the resolution requires Parliament to vote to affirm the sovereign’s reign continuing, though does not specify the outcome of an unsuccessful vote. Regardless, clause VI places great responsibility of oversight in Parliament, and, in effect, is considered to grant parliamentary sovereignty. As such, Parliament can in theory make any law and at any time decide to alter the fundamental constitutional arrangements of the kingdom, including the Resolution itself.<br />
<br />
==Current legislation==<br />
In addition to Acts of Parliament and Orders in Council, the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], having been adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]], is the basis of the modern legal system and belongs to neither of these two categories.<br />

The '''Parliament Act 2024''' is a constitutionally important Act of the [[Parliament of Florenia]] which governs the functioning of parliament and Florenia’s legal process.

<br />
The Parliament Bill was introduced by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|Nathan]] on 7 January 2024 in the new parliament’s first sitting; all Florenian citizens were invited to participate in a digital venue.

<br />
The Act enforces parliament’s oversight powers over the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]] and the government, affirms the right of all citizens to participate in parliament as members, and establishes [[w:Consensus decision—making|consensus decision—making]] as a governing principle, providing for [[w:Majority vote|majority vote]] in the case of deadlock. It provides for the optional election of a moderator to guide proceedings. The Act also assigns certain functions to the [[Council Office]] related to record keeping and the publication of laws.<br />
<br />
The Parliament Act is among the fundamental statutes and conventions which comprise Florenia’s [[w:uncodified constitution|uncodified constitution]]; it was the first Act adopted by the new parliament.<br />

'''The Prince Nathan''' {{post-nominals|country=FLO|KH|KCFN|}} is the founder, [[w:heir apparent|heir apparent]] to [[Monarchy of Florenia|the throne]], and current [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. As head of government since Florenia’s founding, Nathan has been responsible for the development of state institutions and government policy; following a series of elections from 2011-2014, he has governed without significant opposition. He is the incumbent Minister of State for General Affairs and [[Council Office|Secretary for the Council Office]], and now serves as the ''de facto'' first minister.<br />
<br />
After founding Florenia in early 2011, Nathan stumbled upon [[MicroWiki]] and began to govern single handedly. He proclaimed his father, now [[Eran of Florenia]], [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] and appointed himself [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] and interim [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]] for [[Afula]] in order to form a government. Nathan earned his first electoral mandate when he defeated his younger brother [[Prince Henry of Florenia|Prince Henry]] by default in the [[Florenian general election, 2011|general election of 2011]], and since securing a majority of the vote in the subsequent [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 election]] he has remained Prime Minister. Following the adoption of the Parliament Act 2012, he was confirmed as Member of Parliament with 60% of the vote. He was confirmed by Eran to seek reelection to both offices in the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]], but it never occurred and his administration continued.<br />
<br />
The [[November Declaration]] of 2016 initiated a lengthy political reform process which culminated in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], which was adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]] in April 2021 to define the state’s new basic framework. As architect of the Resolution and the subsequent implementation of it’s proposals, Nathan has overseen the transition to the new form of government. Though the office of prime minister no longer exists, Nathan retains the confidence of the Crown and of the Florenian population, and it is his advice to the Crown that determines the composition of the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]].<br />
<br />
He held the post of [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|foreign minister]] from 2013 until 2022, and currently serves as Chief Herald the [[College of Arms (Florenia)|College of Arms]] and as a colonel in the [[Florenian Royal Army]]. He is also editor and operator of ''[[The Florenian Journal]].<br />
<br />
Nathan has participated with varying degrees of involvement in the [[MicroWiki Sector]] since late 2011. Although he led the Kingdom’s entry into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] and singed a handful of treaties in his early tenure as foreign minister, he later implemented Florenia’s relatively isolationist foreign policy. Nathan has been awarded multiple foreign honors, including the title of Count of Greater Bregusland in the [[Nobility of Austenasia|Austenasian nobility]]. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
<br />
===Early life===<br />
Prince Nathan was born to [[Eran of Florenia]] and [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]] before the foundation of Florenia in the [[w:Northeastern United States|northeastern United States]]. <br />
<br />
==Florenia==<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The Flag of the Republic of the Floren Lands, and the original flag of [[Florenia]]. It is now the Flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]].]]<br />
===Republic of the Floren Lands===<br />
Without any knowledge of [[micronations]], Nathan decided to establish the Republic of The Floren Lands on the territory which now comprises the [[Kingdom of Florenia|Florenia]]. After only a few days, this predecessor nation ceased to exist and function due to a lack of organization. The republic began in the summer of 2010 and ended a few weeks thereafter.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom of Florenia===<br />
Prince Nathan had the idea to start the [[Kingdom of Florenia]], originally the Republic of Florenia, on 22 April 2011. He did not develop it much but in August it was picked up. He declared himself Prime Minister, and many other offices. He also chose all other ministers and deputy ministers. Since he is the only member of Parliament currently, he works very much with the King to write Acts and Laws. A fair amount have been passed, most of them just being creations of titles, simple laws, or basic functions for a country. He has not told any of his friends from his school about the Kingdom but hopes to and include them in the country. Most of his family do not know, or know much about, the Kingdom, but he wants to inform them of it.<br />
<br />
From the signing of the Constitution on 5 September 2011, Prince Nathan has carried out most of the duties of running [[Florenia]]. He is currently the only [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]] for Florenia, and therefore is the author to all Acts. The only other individual currently involved in the Kingdom is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran I]], who must read and approve all Acts passed by Parliament, or, in this case, the Prince. Because of his major involvement, Prince Nathan has molded Florenia to his liking and his political views. He believes this is currently the best approach for Florenia, since he believes that he knows the most about Florenia and micronationalism in general. As most of the other Florenian citizens are liberals and agree with the views of the [[Democratic Liberal Party (Florenia)|Democratic Liberal Party]], he governs with very little opposition. This is excluding the occasional outburst from [[Prince Henry of Florenia|Prince Henry]] or [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|Prince Zachary]].<br />
<br />
Prince Nathan ran for the office of Prime Minister for the first time in late December 2011. He was originally running against Prince Henry. However, Prince Henry dropped out and Prince Nathan became Prime Minister. He also ran for the office of Member of Parliament of the [[Dominion of Afula]] on July 29, 2012, and won with 60% of the vote. Due to the fact that the Prince ran unopposed, voters had the option to vote either for the Prince, or to mark an against option on the ballot. Should the latter have received more votes, further elections would have been required. He gad planned to run for both of these offices in the [[Florenian general election, 2013|General Election of 2012]], which were to begin around 22 December 2012.<br />
<br />
Following the ''Cabinet Act 2013'', a Florenian [[Parliament of Florenia|Act of Parliament]] given royal consent on 9 February 2013, The Prince appointed himself [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Minister]], the first appointment to the office since its founding in September 2012. Florenia was elected to the [[Grand Unified Micronational|GUM Advancement Council]] for two consecutive terms, and Prince Nathan has served as Florenia's delegate to the GUM since the Kingdom's joining. On 18 December 2013, Prince Nathan announced his candidacy for re-election to the position of Prime Minister. He faced no opposition, and was suspected to have his position confirmed by the election. He won with a majority of 87.5% of the vote, and will serve as Prime Minister until the next election in 2014.<br />
<br />
On April 18, the Prince's office released a statement announcing that a Florenian judiciary was in construction, and that it and an Act creating the Ministry of Justice were to be introduced within the next ten days. The Prince independently authored both documents. On 24 June 2014, the Prince, in an order delegating temporary powers the Eran I due to his month long leave of absence, he promised that the Judiciary acts would be completed and passed by the end of July. On July 20, the Prince returned from his absence and reassumed power from Eran I. In the following days, the Prince began a sweeping reorganization of the military following the passage of the Military Organization and Commissions Act 2014, which allowed the armed forced to operate independently of Parliament with regards to its structure and general management. He also, with Queen Jane, purchased a kayak for the Crown on behalf of the Royal Navy, the first addition to the Navy's fleet in its history.<br />
<br />
After uncertainty surrounding the lack of candidates in the Florenian general election of 2014, Prince Nathan was confirmed to stand reelection by Eran on 22 December, which he did with "reluctance." He, as in 2013, was attempting to obtain a simple majority over an against option on the ballot, but the election again did not occur.<br />
<br />
==Ancestry==<br />
Prince Nathan is of [[w:Romania|Romanian]], [[w:Poland|Polish]], [[w:Slovakia|Slovakian]], [[w:Lithuanian|Lithuanian]], [[w:United Kingdom|English]], and possibly [[w:France|French]] descent. He is a citizen of Florenia, the [[w:United States of America|United States]], and [[w:Israel|Israel]]. He is also an honorary subject of [[Austenasia]]<br />

The '''Ministry of Education''' was the [[Florenia]]n government ministry with the responsibility of enforcing the education policy of Florenia, which mandated that all citizens receive a high school diploma or its equivalent. The Ministry was overseen by the Minister of Education, who was appointed by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] on advice of the [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]]. The only Minister of Education was [[Lady Deborah, Baroness of Plymouth]], who was named to the [[Cabinet of Florenia|Cabinet]] by incumbent Prime Minister [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] upon the creation of the ministry on 2 January 2012 and served until its abolition on 13 January 2022. A former teacher of over 30 years, the Minister was appointed because of her experience, dedication, and relationship with the Prime Minister, and was subsequently appointed the inaugural [[Lord President of the Council of State]] in recognition of her service.<br />
<br />
The longstanding policy of Florenia regarding education was to enforce the completion high school education or the equivalent level of all of its citizens. Since Florenia was unable to provide this education themselves, all citizens were required to obtain their education at foreign institutions. The ministry had very few actual duties, and all citizens abided by the education policy.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
The '''Law of Florenia''' consists of a unique blend of legal systems and is grounded in the principles of [[w:Direct democracy|direct democracy]] and [[w:Consensus politics|consensus politics]]. Operating under neither a civil law nor common law system, the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]] serves as the sole judicial authority and functions in pursuit of restorative justice and reconciliation rather than issuing punitive sentences. These principles are enumerated in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], the kingdom’s central constitutional document and basis of the modern state. The Crown Court is presided over by [[Monarchy of Florenia|the sovereign]] or an appointed commissioner, though it has never convened. <br />
<br />
Legislation in Florenia comprises various forms and has multiple origins. While acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] take precedence over all other legislation, statutes are often issued by the Crown as orders in council under the advice of the government. The government can also issue orders of council, by which the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]] exercises powers delegated it by Parliament and the Crown. The Resolution is considered to confirm parliamentary sovereignty, allowing parliament the right to issue any law, and thereby distinguishing it as the supreme legislative body of the state.<br />
<br />
Clause IV of the Resolution on Florenian Government stipulates that “Florenia will not have a legal system which seeks to punish offenses and will not engage in restricting the behavior by statute by and large.” As such, Florenian law is distinctly limited in nature, and it does not tend enumerate penalties for violations.<br />
<br />
==Constitution==<br />
Florenia operated under [[2011 Constitution of Florenia|a codified constitution]] from 5 September 2011 until 25 November 2016 upon the promulgation of the [[November Declaration]], a royal decree suspending Parliament and reorganizing the state. However, the 2011 constitution remained active statute law and the basis of Florenia’s governmental arrangements during this time. <br />
<br />
The November Declaration also instructed the government to begin planning for major institutional reform. It wasn’t until September 2020 that such plans were officially announced in the form of the Resolution on Florenian Government. On 26 April 2021, the Resolution was adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]] by the Florenian public, and the 2011 constitution and system of government described therein were formally struck down. <br />
<br />
[[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], the author of the Resolution, intentionally opted to avoid overly specific descriptions of state bodies and functions, instead outlining broad principles to guide the kingdom and its government. This was in direct response to the lethargy in previous reform attempts due to the specificity in and restrictive nature of the previous codified constitutional system. Instead, the Resolution system allows for development and flexibility in governance, and is seen as a mere piece of an organic web of constitutional documents and conventions. <br />
<br />
Adopted in a national referendum and calling for the establishment of a direct democratic parliament, the resolution places the ultimate legitimacy of the state and its constitutional arrangements in the public. Clause VI of the resolution requires Parliament to vote to affirm the sovereign’s reign continuing, though does not specify the outcome of an unsuccessful vote. Regardless, clause VI places great responsibility of oversight in Parliament, and, in effect, is considered to grant parliamentary sovereignty. As such, Parliament can in theory make any law and at any time decide to alter the fundamental constitutional arrangements of the kingdom, including the Resolution itself.<br />
<br />
==Current legislation==<br />
In addition to Acts of Parliament and Orders in Council, the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], having been adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]], is the basis of the modern legal system and belongs to neither of these two categories.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:FloreniaArms.png|220px|thumb|right|[[Royal coat of arms of Florenia]], 2011-2021]]<br />
The '''historical statutes of Florenia''' comprise the entirety of the [[Law of Florenia]] enacted between the kingdom’s foundation in 2011 and the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in April 2021. While certain statutes, such as those annexing territory and creating national symbols, remain in force, Florenia’s former political system ceased to exist with the Resolution. <br />
<br />
Historical statutes comprise an important source of the development of Florenia’s political and legal systems and provide insight into the previously established political practices. As the Kingdom now operates under an [[w:uncodified constitution|uncodified constitution]], much of which evolved before the Resolution system, the historical statutes remain relevant in the present day.<br />
<br />
Legislation was carried out via two primary modes. Acts of Parliament were passed by the [[Nathan's Parliament|Parliament of Florenia]] by majority vote and entered into law only after being granted royal assent by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]; in reality, [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] was parliament’s sole member during this time, giving him control of the legislative process. Royal decrees and letters patent were issued unilaterally by the monarch, although they are limited by parliamentary statute.

<hr />
<div>[[File:FloreniaArms.png|220px|thumb|right|[[Royal coat of arms of Florenia]], 2011-2021]]<br />
The '''historical statutes of Florenia''' comprise the entirety of the [[Law of Florenia]] enacted between the kingdom’s foundation in 2011 and the adoption of the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]] in April 2021. While certain statutes, such as those annexing territory and creating national symbols, remain in force, Florenia’s former political system ceased to exist with the Resolution. <br />
<br />
Legislation was carried out via two primary modes. Acts of Parliament were passed by the [[Nathan's Parliament|Parliament of Florenia]] by majority vote and entered into law only after being granted royal assent by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]]; in reality, [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] was parliament’s sole member during this time, giving him control of the legislative process. Royal decrees and letters patent were issued unilaterally by the monarch, although they are limited by parliamentary statute. On 25 November 2016, [[Eran of Florenia]] issued the [[November Declaration]], which suspended Parliament and declared that his decrees would carry (in the interim) the authority of Acts of Parliament.<br />

The '''Ministry of Foreign Affairs''', often shortened to the '''Foreign Ministry''', is the [[Florenia]]n government ministry with the responsibility of managing the diplomatic affairs and international relations of the Kingdom. The Ministry was founded under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Act 2012, an [[Parliament of Florenia|Act of Parliament]] passed on 30 September 2012. [[Sarisha Danforth]] has served as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs since 13 January 2022. <br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Florenia's first formal foreign policy decision consisted in granting recognition to all [[Grand Unified Micronational]] member states, a policy which has since been abandoned. The foreign ministry also previously issued statements regarding recognition of macronational state entities, including granting recognition to [[w:United Nations|United Nations]] member states while withholding recognition from [[w:State of Palestine|Palestine]]. Florenia does not presently maintain any official policy of recognition towards macronations and the foreign ministry has abandoned its former outlook of establishing general standards with which to apply recognition of sovereignty. <br />
<br />
The Kingdom has, throughout its history, signed treaties with only three nations, though the Florenian government has maintained friendly relations with numerous other foreign governments and officials. Foreign relations have consistently been and still are considered of lesser importance to Florenia's government, and Nathan’s administration has tended to promote internal development as a means for achieving and maintaining a respectable position internationally.<br />

The '''Ministry of Foreign Affairs''', often shortened to the '''Foreign Ministry''', is the [[Florenia]]n government ministry with the responsibility of managing the diplomatic affairs and international relations of the Kingdom. The Ministry was founded under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Act 2012, an [[Parliament of Florenia|Act of Parliament]] passed on 30 September 2012. [[Sarisha Danforth]] has served as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs since 13 January 2022. <br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Florenia's first formal foreign policy decision consisted in granting recognition to all [[Grand Unified Micronational]] member states, a policy which has since been abandoned. The foreign ministry also previously published statements regarding recognition of macronational state entities as well, including granting recognition to [[w:United Nations|United Nations]] member states while withholding recognition from [[w:State of Palestine|Palestine]]. Florenia presently does not maintain any official policy of recognition towards macronational entities and the foreign ministry has abandoned its former outlook of establishing general standards with which to apply recognition of sovereignty. <br />
<br />
The Kingdom has, throughout its history, signed treaties with only three nations, though the Florenian government has maintained friendly relations with numerous other foreign governments and officials. Foreign relations have consistently been and still are considered of lesser importance to Florenia's government, and the Prince Nathan has been known to promote internal development as a means for achieving and maintaining external recognition, though this external recognition is not a stated goal of the government. <br />

'''The Prince Nathan''' {{post-nominals|country=FLO|KH|KCFN|}} is the founder, [[w:heir apparent|heir apparent]] to [[Monarchy of Florenia|the throne]], and current [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] of the [[Kingdom of Florenia]]. As head of government since Florenia’s founding, Nathan has been responsible for the development of state institutions and government policy; following a series of elections from 2011-2014, he has governed without significant opposition. He is the incumbent Minister of State for General Affairs and [[Council Office|Secretary for the Council Office]], and now serves as the ''de facto'' first minister.<br />
<br />
After founding Florenia in early 2011, Nathan stumbled upon [[MicroWiki]] and began to govern single handedly. He proclaimed his father, now [[Eran of Florenia]], [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] and appointed himself [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] and interim [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]] for [[Afula]] in order to form a government. Nathan earned his first electoral mandate when he defeated his younger brother [[Prince Henry of Florenia|Prince Henry]] by default in the [[Florenian general election, 2011|general election of 2011]], and since securing a majority of the vote in the subsequent [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 election]] he has remained Prime Minister. Following the adoption of the Parliament Act 2012, he was confirmed as Member of Parliament with 60% of the vote. He was confirmed by Eran to seek reelection to both offices in the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]], but it never occurred and his administration continued.<br />
<br />
The [[November Declaration]] of 2016 initiated a lengthy political reform process which culminated in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]], which was adopted in [[Resolution referendum|a referendum]] in April 2021 to define the state’s new basic framework. As architect of the Resolution and the subsequent implementation of it’s proposals, Nathan has overseen the transition to the new form of government. Though the office of prime minister no longer exists, Nathan retains the confidence of the Crown and of the Florenian population, and it is his advice to the Crown that determines the composition of the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]].<br />
<br />
He previously held the post of [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|foreign minister]] from 2013-2022, and currently serves as Chief Herald the [[College of Arms (Florenia)|College of Arms]] and as a colonel in the [[Florenian Royal Army]]. He is also editor and operator of ''[[The Florenian Journal]].<br />
<br />
Nathan has participated with varying degrees of involvement in the [[MicroWiki Sector]] since late 2011. Although he led the Kingdom’s entry into the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] and singed a handful of treaties in his early tenure as foreign minister, he later implemented Florenia’s relatively isolationist foreign policy. Nathan has been awarded multiple foreign honors, including the title of Count of Greater Bregusland in the [[Nobility of Austenasia|Austenasian nobility]]. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
<br />
===Early life===<br />
Prince Nathan was born to [[Eran of Florenia]] and [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]] before the foundation of Florenia in the [[w:Northeastern United States|northeastern United States]]. <br />
<br />
==Florenia==<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The Flag of the Republic of the Floren Lands, and the original flag of [[Florenia]]. It is now the Flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]].]]<br />
===Republic of the Floren Lands===<br />
Without any knowledge of [[micronations]], Nathan decided to establish the Republic of The Floren Lands on the territory which now comprises the [[Kingdom of Florenia|Florenia]]. After only a few days, this predecessor nation ceased to exist and function due to a lack of organization. The republic began in the summer of 2010 and ended a few weeks thereafter.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom of Florenia===<br />
Prince Nathan had the idea to start the [[Kingdom of Florenia]], originally the Republic of Florenia, on 22 April 2011. He did not develop it much but in August it was picked up. He declared himself Prime Minister, and many other offices. He also chose all other ministers and deputy ministers. Since he is the only member of Parliament currently, he works very much with the King to write Acts and Laws. A fair amount have been passed, most of them just being creations of titles, simple laws, or basic functions for a country. He has not told any of his friends from his school about the Kingdom but hopes to and include them in the country. Most of his family do not know, or know much about, the Kingdom, but he wants to inform them of it.<br />
<br />
From the signing of the Constitution on 5 September 2011, Prince Nathan has carried out most of the duties of running [[Florenia]]. He is currently the only [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]] for Florenia, and therefore is the author to all Acts. The only other individual currently involved in the Kingdom is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran I]], who must read and approve all Acts passed by Parliament, or, in this case, the Prince. Because of his major involvement, Prince Nathan has molded Florenia to his liking and his political views. He believes this is currently the best approach for Florenia, since he believes that he knows the most about Florenia and micronationalism in general. As most of the other Florenian citizens are liberals and agree with the views of the [[Democratic Liberal Party (Florenia)|Democratic Liberal Party]], he governs with very little opposition. This is excluding the occasional outburst from [[Prince Henry of Florenia|Prince Henry]] or [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|Prince Zachary]].<br />
<br />
Prince Nathan ran for the office of Prime Minister for the first time in late December 2011. He was originally running against Prince Henry. However, Prince Henry dropped out and Prince Nathan became Prime Minister. He also ran for the office of Member of Parliament of the [[Dominion of Afula]] on July 29, 2012, and won with 60% of the vote. Due to the fact that the Prince ran unopposed, voters had the option to vote either for the Prince, or to mark an against option on the ballot. Should the latter have received more votes, further elections would have been required. He gad planned to run for both of these offices in the [[Florenian general election, 2013|General Election of 2012]], which were to begin around 22 December 2012.<br />
<br />
Following the ''Cabinet Act 2013'', a Florenian [[Parliament of Florenia|Act of Parliament]] given royal consent on 9 February 2013, The Prince appointed himself [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Minister]], the first appointment to the office since its founding in September 2012. Florenia was elected to the [[Grand Unified Micronational|GUM Advancement Council]] for two consecutive terms, and Prince Nathan has served as Florenia's delegate to the GUM since the Kingdom's joining. On 18 December 2013, Prince Nathan announced his candidacy for re-election to the position of Prime Minister. He faced no opposition, and was suspected to have his position confirmed by the election. He won with a majority of 87.5% of the vote, and will serve as Prime Minister until the next election in 2014.<br />
<br />
On April 18, the Prince's office released a statement announcing that a Florenian judiciary was in construction, and that it and an Act creating the Ministry of Justice were to be introduced within the next ten days. The Prince independently authored both documents. On 24 June 2014, the Prince, in an order delegating temporary powers the Eran I due to his month long leave of absence, he promised that the Judiciary acts would be completed and passed by the end of July. On July 20, the Prince returned from his absence and reassumed power from Eran I. In the following days, the Prince began a sweeping reorganization of the military following the passage of the Military Organization and Commissions Act 2014, which allowed the armed forced to operate independently of Parliament with regards to its structure and general management. He also, with Queen Jane, purchased a kayak for the Crown on behalf of the Royal Navy, the first addition to the Navy's fleet in its history.<br />
<br />
After uncertainty surrounding the lack of candidates in the Florenian general election of 2014, Prince Nathan was confirmed to stand reelection by Eran on 22 December, which he did with "reluctance." He, as in 2013, was attempting to obtain a simple majority over an against option on the ballot, but the election again did not occur.<br />
<br />
==Ancestry==<br />
Prince Nathan is of [[w:Romania|Romanian]], [[w:Poland|Polish]], [[w:Slovakia|Slovakian]], [[w:Lithuanian|Lithuanian]], [[w:United Kingdom|English]], and possibly [[w:France|French]] descent. He is a citizen of Florenia, the [[w:United States of America|United States]], and [[w:Israel|Israel]]. He is also an honorary subject of [[Austenasia]]<br />

After only a few days, this predecessor nation ceased to exist and function due to a lack of organization. The republic began in the summer of 2010 and ended a few weeks thereafter.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom of Florenia===<br />
Prince Nathan had the idea to start the [[Kingdom of Florenia]], originally the Republic of Florenia, on 22 April 2011. He did not develop it much but in August it was picked up. He declared himself Prime Minister, and many other offices. He also chose all other ministers and deputy ministers. Since he is the only member of Parliament currently, he works very much with the King to write Acts and Laws. A fair amount have been passed, most of them just being creations of titles, simple laws, or basic functions for a country. He has not told any of his friends from his school about the Kingdom but hopes to and include them in the country. Most of his family do not know, or know much about, the Kingdom, but he wants to inform them of it.<br />
<br />
From the signing of the Constitution on 5 September 2011, Prince Nathan has carried out most of the duties of running [[Florenia]]. He is currently the only [[Parliament of Florenia|Member of Parliament]] for Florenia, and therefore is the author to all Acts. The only other individual currently involved in the Kingdom is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran I]], who must read and approve all Acts passed by Parliament, or, in this case, the Prince. Because of his major involvement, Prince Nathan has molded Florenia to his liking and his political views. He believes this is currently the best approach for Florenia, since he believes that he knows the most about Florenia and micronationalism in general. As most of the other Florenian citizens are liberals and agree with the views of the [[Democratic Liberal Party (Florenia)|Democratic Liberal Party]], he governs with very little opposition. This is excluding the occasional outburst from [[Prince Henry of Florenia|Prince Henry]] or [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|Prince Zachary]].<br />
<br />
Prince Nathan ran for the office of Prime Minister for the first time in late December 2011. He was originally running against Prince Henry. However, Prince Henry dropped out and Prince Nathan became Prime Minister. He also ran for the office of Member of Parliament of the [[Dominion of Afula]] on July 29, 2012, and won with 60% of the vote. Due to the fact that the Prince ran unopposed, voters had the option to vote either for the Prince, or to mark an against option on the ballot. Should the latter have received more votes, further elections would have been required. He gad planned to run for both of these offices in the [[Florenian general election, 2013|General Election of 2012]], which were to begin around 22 December 2012.<br />
<br />
Following the ''Cabinet Act 2013'', a Florenian [[Parliament of Florenia|Act of Parliament]] given royal consent on 9 February 2013, The Prince appointed himself [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Minister]], the first appointment to the office since its founding in September 2012. Florenia was elected to the [[Grand Unified Micronational|GUM Advancement Council]] for two consecutive terms, and Prince Nathan has served as Florenia's delegate to the GUM since the Kingdom's joining. On 18 December 2013, Prince Nathan announced his candidacy for re-election to the position of Prime Minister. He faced no opposition, and was suspected to have his position confirmed by the election. He won with a majority of 87.5% of the vote, and will serve as Prime Minister until the next election in 2014.<br />
<br />
On April 18, the Prince's office released a statement announcing that a Florenian judiciary was in construction, and that it and an Act creating the Ministry of Justice were to be introduced within the next ten days. The Prince independently authored both documents. On 24 June 2014, the Prince, in an order delegating temporary powers the Eran I due to his month long leave of absence, he promised that the Judiciary acts would be completed and passed by the end of July. On July 20, the Prince returned from his absence and reassumed power from Eran I. In the following days, the Prince began a sweeping reorganization of the military following the passage of the Military Organization and Commissions Act 2014, which allowed the armed forced to operate independently of Parliament with regards to its structure and general management. He also, with Queen Jane, purchased a kayak for the Crown on behalf of the Royal Navy, the first addition to the Navy's fleet in its history.<br />
<br />
After uncertainty surrounding the lack of candidates in the Florenian general election of 2014, Prince Nathan was confirmed to stand reelection by Eran on 22 December, which he did with "reluctance." He, as in 2013, was attempting to obtain a simple majority over an against option on the ballot, but the election again did not occur.<br />
<br />
==Ancestry==<br />
Prince Nathan is of [[w:Romania|Romanian]], [[w:Poland|Polish]], [[w:Slovakia|Slovakian]], [[w:Lithuanian|Lithuanian]], [[w:United Kingdom|English]], and possibly [[w:France|French]] descent. He is a citizen of Florenia, the [[w:United States of America|United States]], and [[w:Israel|Israel]]. He is also an honorary subject of [[Austenasia]]<br />

== A few questions... ==<br />
<br />
Hi Jonathan I!<br />
<br />
I have a few questions about Austenasia's government.<br />
#Does the monarch have any government powers, despite not being the Head of Government?<br />
#How do those government powers differ from that of the Prime Minister?<br />
#What powers does the Prime Minister hold that the monarch doesn't?<br />
<br />

<br />
:Howdy, {{ping|User:Liahonia.gov}}. I am William, the Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia. If you don't mind, I think I can answer some of those questions for you.<br><br>Yes, the monarch has the ability to issue Decrees and Edicts. The former is a binding form of legislation that can only be dissolved by the House of Representatives and the latter is a form of legislation that only applies to Crown Property (and other aristocratic areas). They also, along with the Prime Minister, have the ability to ratify treaties with other nations.<br><br>The Prime Minister is seen as an office held by the will of the people as they are from where political power stems. The monarch is a position that is the embodiment of the nation and unstated representative of the divine. While both have an influential place in government, the Prime Minister is the 'people' side and the monarch is the 'spirit' side.<br><br>Nominate cabinet ministers for appointment, appoint the Counsuls every new year, appoint a Consul suffectus in the case of a vacancy. These are powers the Prime Minster holds solely.<br />

::Hi, {{ping|User:William GF Wilson}}! How does the Prime Minister differ from the Deputy Prime Minister in terms of powers and roles?[[User:Liahonia.gov|Liahonia.gov]] ([[User talk:Liahonia.gov|talk]]) 16:07, 21 July 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Howdy again, {{ping|User:Liahonia.gov}} To answer your question, there is a very great difference. While analogous in hierarchy to the Vice President of the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) of Austenasia doesn't wield any power nor does hold any conjoined office. The DPM's purpose is to become the Acting Prime Minster in the case of the Prime Minister's death or resignation. Up until recently, the DPM was not even considered part of the Cabinet. Officially the position is powerless, however, the implied powers come from having the confidence of the Prime Minister. --[[User:William GF Wilson|Billiam Bilson]] 03:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC)<br />

== An issue to be handled by an administrator? ==<br />
<br />
While editing the article [[Josiah Suwono]], I discovered that an external link on said article leads to a webpage with pornographic material. Considering that the user would likely add the link back in after removing the link, I think that it is best to let an administrator handle the situation. Please let me know if you need more information.<br />

== Becoming an Administrator ==<br />
<br />
How would one become a MicroWiki administrator? Is there an underlying criterion to even be considered for the position?<br />
<br />
Other than this, reasons I should be considered for the position:<br />
<br />
* I have started two [[MicroWiki: MicroProject|MicroProjects]] ([[MicroWiki:MicroProject Current Events|this]] & [[MicroWiki:MicroProject Userboxes|this]])<br />
<br />
* My article [[Penn Federal Republic]] is currently on the [[Good articles]] nominations with a (as of writing) 2:0 vote.<br />
<br />
* I am active on MicroWiki, being on at least an hour per weekday. (Bored at school, lots of free time.)<br />
<br />
* Assisted many new users, including welcome messages and responding to follow-up questions. To the point where I was informed that most of them are [[W:WP:SOCK]] by a former administrator, therefor being a waste of my time.<br />
<br />
* Started a Micronations Club in my high school. (First in the world!) Through this, I have had real people I know to register in MicroWiki (and claimed responsibility that I will speak with them if they do stupid things on MicroWiki that break rules or anything).<br />
<br />
* Micronationalist for over a year, over 500 edits, and follow up on users that make large removals of bytes on pages or blank them.<br />
<br />
* and more!<br />
<br />
Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much.<br />

The reason is that MediaWiki lets you add newlines already without br tags, but this certain family of MediaWiki spambots (maybe a popular spammer that sells services for spamming, or a software usually used for spam?) only uses br tags.

== Potentially renaming an article... ==<br />
<br />
I came across the article [[Sheetfuckery Party]], which obviously contains profanity in the title. Do you think the article should be moved/renamed? I'm not sure what to do about this issue... {{Liahonia-sig}}<small>21:27, 2 December 2022 (UTC)</small><br />
<br />
{{ping|Liahonia.gov}} It ain’t my fault [[Nyck Bradaten]] named his party Sheetfuckery. If he wants to name it that, not my problem. Sheetfuckery is a brilliant name and you trying to censor it is bad. I rest my case. - --[[User:CaptainGalway|Goon]] 21:31, 2 December 2022 (UTC)<br />

<br />
@[[User:Austenasia|Austenasia]]<br />
<br />
As someone who frequently moniters the gallery of new files, I want to make the following suggestion:<br />
<br />
When a user clicks on the "upload file" button, I think a summary of the [[MW:FNC|File name policy]] should appear prior to the upload wizard, which may reduce the number of files that are improperly named. <br />
<br />

'''Florenia''', officially the '''Kingdom of''' '''Florenia''', is a sovereign state with a [[constitutional monarchy]], most often characterized as a [[micronation]]. Florenia is situated on the [[w:eastern seaboard|eastern seaboard]] of [[w: North America|North America]] and is an [[w:Enclave|enclave country]] completely bordered by the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Florenia claims 24 acres of territory and has a population of 17, eleven of whom reside within the Kingdom. <br />
<br />
First settled around 1786, Florenia's independence was declared by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] in April [[2011]] after over 200 years under United States sovereignty. The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]], currently [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]], is the official head of state who has limited yet notable and specific powers and initially served solely as a figurehead and symbol of national unity and political neutrality. The position of Monarch has evolved from a completely ceremonial role to an active position in government, culminating in the [[November Declaration]], in which Eran instituted temporary personal rule. The Prince Nathan currently serves as [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]], Florenia's head of government and chief executive. The legislative body of Florenia is the [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]], a [[w:unicameral|unicameral]] body which has the authority to promulgate legislation. The entirety of the Kingdom's [[w:judiciary|judiciary]] is comprised of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories, the [[Dominion of Afula]], which serves as the national capital, and the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Florenia is named after the Floren family, previous owners of the land that is now the [[Dominion of Afula]] and the creators of [[Floren Pond]], the body of water which makes up the majority of the Kingdom's territory.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
''See main article: [[History of Florenia]]''<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Florenia was founded on 22 April 2011 by [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]] without any formal instrument or declaration. There had been a former nation on the same territory which had also been founded by the Prince a few months before and was known as the Republic of the Floren Lands. However, this nation was never truly established or developed, and is not thought of as a true predecessor state to modern Florenia, but rather a trial project.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fialshan.jpg|thumb|left|The original flag of Florenia, now the flag of [[Dominion of Afula|Afula]]]]<br />
===Pre-Kingdom===<br />
The Dominion of Afula was originally part of the [[w:United States|United States]], specifically the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]]. The area around Afula was originally settled in the early 1700s, with the first settlement within the modern day Dominion in 1786. It is known that a few years prior, in 1779, one Peleg Bradley sold the property to one Seth Bishop, the latter of whom is thought to have owned land around the area, for two thousand five hundred pounds. <br />
<br />
During the mid 1900s, the property was owned by the Floren family, a group of farmers of Swedish origin. It was a large farm that encompassed far more land than Florenia does today. The Florens subdivided their property into around eight plots which they sold, and converted a large marsh into a 17 acre pond by redirecting a small stream and removing trees and various other barriers. The family kept for themselves a property of about 8 acres, on which their house and barn were located, and the pond as their own property, which Florenia constitutes at present. After one change of ownership, the Floren's old property was bought by the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Crown]] in January 1999.<br />
<br />
===Early Kingdom===<br />
Prince Nathan had no knowledge of the concept of micronations when he founded the original Republic of Florenia around 22 April 2011. This date is used as Florenia's official date of foundation and Independence Day, although it is now thought to be incorrect. The Prince abandoned the new nation for some time, and after a period of around three months, decided to return to the project. The designation of Republic was changed after the Prince realized that with a King, Florenia must be a Kingdom. Nathan then discovered that other small countries like Florenia existed, a finding which inspired him to further develop the young state. He declared himself Prime Minister around 17 August 2011. This date is used as the official date for beginning of his premiership. However, the original date of foundation of the Kingdom, 22 April, is used as the beginning of the reign of Eran. Before 17 August, Florenia was essentially operating under dictatorial rule by the Prince, and simple decisions made during that time are recognized by the current government. He began drafting a Constitution largely based on the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] political system, which was eventually completed in early September 2011 and signed on 5 September by Prince Nathan and Eran. This Constitution is not viewed as a guiding document like the Constitutions of other states, but rather as a legislative starting point and outline for the initial operation of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
===Post-Constitution===<br />
There was no official documented foundation of the Kingdom until the signing of the Constitution, which began by declaring Florenia an independent nation, separate from the [[w:United States|United States]], on 5 September 2011. The Constitution laid out many government functions, but was also very simply written, as it was intended by The Prince Nathan that further legislation would clarify any ambiguities. After the signing of the Constitution, many acts were passed in the one-man unofficial Parliament, although all Acts were following the Constitution. Many of the ideas and functions laid out in the Constitution have been changed officially, and the Constitution is thought of not as a basis of law but a starting point for the nation to be guided by. Due to the fact that the only member of Parliament is currently the Prime Minister, all of the laws are written and automatically approved by him, then given to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|King]] to grant royal assent. <br />
<br />
Prince Nathan announced that, under the mandate of Act 6, the [[Florenian Election of 2011|first election]] for [[Prime Minister of Florenia|Prime Minister]] was to take place from 22–31 December 2011. Two candidates, The Prince Nathan and [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], announced their intentions to stand for election. Due to the fact that there were only two candidates, the primary elections did not occur, and instead the general election began immediately. Prince Henry dropped out of the election before voting commenced, allowing Prince Nathan to win be default. He was never officially sworn in as Prime Minister, but his position as leader of the Kingdom was solidified.<br />
<br />
The official outlining the functions of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]] in an Act of the unofficial Parliament brought fourth many new Acts and Laws. This includes the foundations of the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Ministry of Defense]], the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], and the [[College of Arms of Florenia|College of Arms]]. All Acts passed under the previous unofficial Parliament still stand. Under the Parliament Act 2012, Prince Nathan was given powers of a [[Parliament of Florenia#Members|Member of Parliament]] until an election in late July. He won this election, and became Member of Parliament for the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Elections that were supposed to take place in December 2012 did not occur due to logistical flaw on behalf of the government. The government has reported no messages from disgruntled citizens of Florenia about the mistake. After consideration, the government ultimately decided against rescheduling the elections and instead simply continuing with the scheduled elections of the following year.<br />
<br />
In accordance with the Elections Act 2013, which was passed on 18 December, the [[Florenian general election, 2013|2013 general election]] was scheduled for 22–30 December. On 18 December, Prince Nathan officially announced his candidacy for reelection via the release of the document signed by Eran giving him permission to seek the office. In accordance with the Elections Act, the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Foreign Ministry]] informed non-residential citizens of the election procedure and collected their votes. In order to execute this obligation in an organized manner, the elections were held electronically via an online polling system. Due to the fact that there was only one candidate, the ballot also had an against option, which, if it received a majority of the vote, would show a lack of confidence in the Prince Nathan and push further elections. Prince Nathan was able to obtain a large majority of the vote, with 87.5% of citizens who cast their ballot voting in his favor. <br />
<br />
Florenia's third year of independence began on 22 April 2014. Prince Nathan released a statement in which he affirmed the goal of overall growth for the kingdom in the year ahead. Acts outlining a newly formed Florenian Judiciary were expected to be passed by late April. After Prince Nathan announced that acts were being worked on, he said that it is a time consuming and tedious process.<br />
<br />
On 10 August, four Acts of Parliament were passed establishing the [[Crown Court of Florenia|Crown Court]], a court of general jurisdiction that hears all civil and criminal cases. The Judicial Act 2014 outlined the Court and its structure of one Justice, who hears all cases and presents a verdict, and the Consuls of the Court, who review the verdicts for each case and approve them. Also passed was the Crime and Punishment Act 2014, which outlined in detail various low level and severe crimes, as well as their maximum and minimum sentences. The Ministry of Justice Act 2014 created the [[Ministry of Justice (Florenia)|Ministry of Justice]], the Florenian government ministry responsible for law enforcement and the administration of Justice. It is led by the Attorney General, who is the chief lawyer for the government, and is responsible for the prosecution of all alleged criminals. It also stipulated the creation of the Royal Police Force and the Bar Association. The final act passed was the Judicial Procedure and Precedence Act, which allowed Parliament to regulate the structure of trials.<br />
<br />
[[File:EranCipher.png|200px|thumb|right|Royal chipher of Eran]]<br />
In December 2014, uncertainty arose with regard to the future of the Florenian premiership as the [[Florenian general election, 2014|2014 general election]] approached. By the morning of 21 December, no candidate, not even the incumbent Prince Nathan, had submitted their candidacy request to the Monarch. However, in the evening of 22 December, the Prince was confirmed to run by Eran, and the election was to begin in the same format as it had in the previous year; Prince Nathan as sole candidate attempting to obtain a majority over an "against" option.<br />
<br />
In a similar situation to the 2012 general elections, no voting was organized or took place, and plans to reschedule to early February fell through. The government issued a statement in late March, indicating that the failed elections displayed a feeling of unimportance among Florenian citizens, and that election reform would surely follow in the near future.<br />
<br />
===Personal rule===<br />
After over a year of inactivity, the King issued the [[November Declaration]] on 25 November 2016 in which he claimed temporary power and instructed the Prime Minister to begin drawing up plans for massive government reform. He also changed the style of the monarch to ''[[Majesty|His Majesty]]'', changed the name of the capital to Afula, and affirmed that the Monarch's right to rule is derived from Florenia's history and past owners of the land which it occupies. He also increased the powers of the Crown, declaring that the Government shall henceforth be known as His Majesty's Government, and that the Monarch would from now on formally appoint the Prime Minister and all government ministers.<br />
<br />
On 9 February 2017, Eran issued a royal decree in which he annexed his property that remained outside of the Kingdom as the [[Dominion of Lexington]]. This was the first expansion of Florenia's territory in its history and has long been anticipated due to Lexington's nature as the primary residence of the Monarch and royal family. In the same decree, the King declared that his residence at Afula will be known as the [[Palace of State]] and that it shall serve as the official headquarters of the government, while the residence at Lexington will be known as Lexington House and will serve as an alternative office for the government.<br />
<br />
After nearly three years of personal rule by Eran through The Prince Nathan, the latter announced on 5 September 2019, the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Florenian Constitution, that the government planned to unveil a plan to alter the government system drastically. The Prince indicated that the new structure would be based on “the participation of the entire Florenian populace through a direct democracy in conjunction with a constitutional monarchy.” While a timeline was not announced for the unveiling of the specifics of the plan, the Prince asserted that no change would be adopted without both royal assent and a national referendum. On 22 September, preliminary proposals were circulated by the Prince to Eran and were received positively. On 31 December, The Prince Nathan issued a statement announcing a "segment-by-segment" reform plan, noting that the government had changed course after initially attempting to organize a succinct, swift government overhaul. The piecemeal implementation of reforms will take place gradually, with the government paying particular attention to preserving Florenia's historical and cultural character.<br />
<br />
Constitution Day 2020 saw the announcement of a national referendum between 10 and 13 September on The Prince Nathan's constitutional reform plan outlined in the [[Resolution on Florenian Government]]. The Resolution's adoption would signal popular support for a strong monarch and new administrative and advisory body in the Council of State, as well as for the Florenian principles of community, equality, and democratic involvement. <br />
<br />
The so-called [[Resolution referendum]] was ultimately rescheduled to and held between 17 and 19 April 2021, resulting in the Resolution's sound adoption by a majority of voters. On April 16, the government released the [[Resolution Plan]], a document outlining the process for implementing the new system of government, which divided the implementation into three major phases. The Referendum phase included the Resolution referendum and the concurrent preregistration of willing citizens to membership in Parliament. The Basis phase, during which Orders in Council and Acts of Parliament will be promulgated organizing the fundamental institutions of the state, is currently in progress. It will be followed by the Arrangements phase, consisting of the Crown's appointment of various state officials and the establishment of further government agencies. <br />
<br />
===Resolution system===<br />
At 6:04 PM on 26 April, Eran issued the first four Orders in Council, reestablishing Parliament, the [[Council of State (Florenia)|Council of State]], and the Crown Court, as well as describing the role of Ministers of State. This was the first substantive act under Florenia's new system, and at that moment the old system of government is considered to have ceased to exist.<br />
<br />
On 13 January 2022, Eran made the first appointments to the Council of State on Nathan’s recommendation, who continues to serve as Florenia’s de facto prime minister. [[Lady Deborah, Baroness of Plymouth]] was named inaugural [[Lord President of the Council]], becoming only the second person in history to chair the Florenian executive. [[Sarisha Danforth]] joined the government as Minister of State for Culture and for Foreign Affairs, [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]] was named to the post of Minister of State for Environment, and Nathan himself became Minister of State for General Affairs and secretary for the [[Council Office]], the government’s primary coordination and administrative support body.<br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Florenia}}<br />
Florenia is governed within the context of a [[w:unitary|unitary]] [[w:semi-parliamentary|semi-parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The Florenian head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister. <br />
<br />
===Prime Minister===<br />
The [[Prime Minister of Florenia|prime minister]] is the elected head of government and chief executive of the Kingdom of Florenia. He or she has the responsibility of the leading the [[Cabinet of Florenia|cabinet]] and recommending ministers for appointment by the monarch. The prime minister's duties include all listed under Article 3, Section 3 of the original Florenian constitution and all others created by acts of [[Parliament of Florenia|Parliament]]. The inaugural and incumbent prime minister is [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], Florenia's founder.<br />
<br />
Unlike many nations with a prime minister and parliamentary system, the Florenian prime minister is not a legislative office but a separate executive office. The Florenian prime minister is more comparable to a presidential office than those of most other nations, as the prime minister is elected separately from Parliament and the prime minister need not command the support of Parliament. In his November 2016 decree, Eran proclaimed that the prime minister, and all government ministers, would be formally appointed by the monarch. <br />
<br />
===Monarchy===<br />
The [[Monarchy of Florenia|Monarch]] is the official head of state of the Kingdom of Florenia. The Monarch has royal duties as well as parliamentary duties, such as attending parliamentary sessions and giving Royal Consent for acts and laws being passed. The current Monarch is [[Eran of Florenia|Eran]]. He is the owner of a vast majority of the property within the Kingdom, and is the father of [[Prince Nathan of Florenia|The Prince Nathan]], [[Prince Henry of Florenia|The Prince Henry]], and [[Prince Zachary of Florenia|The Prince Zachary]], who are the first three in the line of succession to the Throne. The Monarch serves as an unbiased and not politically affiliated face of the government and of the nation as a whole, and is meant to keep the nation united regardless of the political associations of the government.<br />
<br />
The line of succession to the [[Monarchy of Florenia|Florenian Throne]] is unlike those of most monarchies. It includes not only the immediate family of Eran, ending with his niece, but also [[Queen Jane of Florenia|Queen Jane]]'s father, [[Lord John, 1st Earl Fialko|The Earl Fialko]], and then her immediate family, ending with her sister. The reasoning behind this odd system is that although Eran is the Monarch, the Kingdom was founded when the royal couple had already been married, and it was found to be most fair to include both families in the line of succession. Only the family of the King is entitled to use royal titles; the family of the Queen only use the titles and styles associated with an Earl and his family.<br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
The [[Parliament of Florenia]] is comprised of the elected Members of Parliament of Florenian territories. Since there is one territory, its Member of Parliament carries out the law making process. The current Member of Parliament for Afula - although Parliament is currently suspended - is Prince Nathan, who is also Prime Minister. Parliament legislates for Florenia, but to fully pass a law, Royal Consent by the Monarch must be given. <br />
<br />
Parliament currently consists of Prince Nathan, who was officially elected on 29 July 2012. Under the constitution, a Member of Parliament, or Prime Minister, proposes and writes an act. Then, Parliament revises it and votes to pass it. Currently, the Prince types an act, and as there are no objections it is automatically passed by the simple act of himself proposing it. Then, he gives it to the King for consent (Royal Consent has so far not been refused). A wide range of acts are passed due to the stated belief of the Prime Minister that Acts for every aspect of the nation are needed to help codify Florenia's laws and make the country strong.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
[[File:Crown Court Florenia.png|200px|thumb|left|Official seal of the [[Crown Court of Florenia]]]]<br />
The Florenian Judiciary was established by four Acts of Parliament on 10 August 2014. The Judicial Act 2014 established the [[Crown Court of Florenia]] as the court to hear all criminal and civil cases of the Kingdom. The Court has one full seat, the Justice of the Crown Court, and two positions of review, the Consuls of the Court. The Justice of the Crown Court is responsible for hearing all cases and for presenting a verdict after the presentation of all evidence and the conclusion of the trial. The verdict must be reviewed by the two Consuls before it can be officially implemented. The Justice and Consuls are nominated by the Prime Minister, approved by Parliament, and appointed by the Monarch, allowing the Monarch to posses a veto. <br />
<br />
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the administration of justice as well as law enforcement, the latter of which is carried out by the Royal Police Force. The Ministry is responsible for determining and prosecuting all individuals alleged of a crime, as well as regulating the body of attorneys of the Kingdom and licensing individuals to practice law, a responsibility it carries out through the Bar Association. The Ministry is led by the Attorney General, who, as well as serving as the administrator of the ministry, is the chief lawyer for the government, and the Deputy Attorney General, who assists the minister in his or her roles. <br />
<br />
The Justice of the Crown Court may issue a warrant for the arrest of any individual if the government has presented sufficient evidence in the Crown Court. Those alleged of a crime in Florenia are accorded certain rights by the Judicial Act 2014, such as the right to remain silent, the right to representation by an attorney, and the right to quick and concise trial. <br />
<br />
The Royal Police Force, or RPF, has the responsibility of preventing crime and criminal activity throughout the Kingdom, as well as detaining those alleged of a crime by the government after the issuing of a warrant. The RPF is led by the Royal Commissioner of Police, who reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General. The RPF was given almost complete autonomy to determine its structure and self manage by the Ministry of Justice Act 2014. The RPF has had no confrontation with any alleged criminal since its foundation. <br />
<br />
An integral piece of the 10 August Judicial legislation package, the Crime and Punishment Act 2014 described in detail various severe and low level crimes in the Kingdom, as well as their minimum and maximum sentences. The act laid out three distinct sentences that may be issued by the Justice of the Crown Court; expulsion, barring from entrance, and fines. Expulsion prevents the individual from ever entering the Kingdom for the remainder of their lifetime. Barring from entrance is separated into three degrees, the most severe of which prevents the individual from entering the Kingdom from two months to a year, the second of which from ten days to two months, and third from two days to a week. The least severe sentence is a fine, or a sum of money to be paid to the government by the individual.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
Military and defense responsibilities in Florenia are carried out by the [[Armed Forces of Florenia]], which is composed of two independent branches, [[Florenian Royal Army|His Majesty's Army]] and [[Florenian Royal Navy|His Majesty's Navy]], commonly referred to as the Royal Army and Royal Navy. Currently, the Royal Army is the only branch with enlisted or commissioned service people, and as such soldiers in the Royal Army are also responsible for the operation and upkeep of the Royal Navy's fleet.<br />
<br />
The [[w:Commander-in-Chief|Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces is, by definition, the Florenian Monarch, whose power is exercised by the Prime Minister. As such, all officers receive their commission in the name of the Monarch, however are in reality commissioned by the Prime Minister and his ministry, who has full command over the armed forces. The Prime Minister also appoints the [[Ministry of Defense (Florenia)|Minister of Defense]], who is responsible for the government ministry that manages and administrates the Royal Army and Navy. The Ministry of Defense has control over the organizational and rank structures of the armed forces, as well as the establishment of military commands and troop placements and movements.<br />
<br />
The Royal Army currently consists of one [[w:regiment|regiment]] which serves as the primary organizational formation of the branch; the Royal Guards Regiment. It is commanded by its [[w:Colonel|Colonel]], currently The Prince Nathan. The regiment consists of two battalions; the 1st battalion, which serves as the primary and full service unit, and 2nd battalion, which consists solely of reserve troops and has never been deployed or undergone serious training. The Royal Navy's fleet consists of two vessels; one canoe and one kayak, both owned by the Crown. The canoe, which has been under the ownership of the Crown for years before the Navy's founding, was manufactured by Great Canadian, and is propelled by two individuals. It can also seat up to two extra individuals. The kayak, a Pelican Pathfinder 100x, was purchased by the Crown on 22 July 2014, is piloted by one individual. It also has a cargo hold in the aft.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
Foreign relations of the Kingdom of Florenia are managed by the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Florenia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]]. Currently, there is one employee of the Ministry; the Minister, Prince Nathan, who was appointed by himself as Prime Minister to the position on 9 February 2013. Florenia was a full member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] from early 2013. However, after reform within the organization, the Kingdom's status was downgraded to observer. After being informed that the government had until 2 June 2014 to renew their membership, the government opted to allow the period to expire, losing Florenia's membership in the GUM. The decrease in rank had been noted by Prince Nathan, who claims that Florenia was forced to remain fairly inactive in the GUM because of time differences, but the Kingdom still found its membership in the organization important to its diplomatic relations. The government decided not to confirm their membership and leave the organization for an "indeterminate" amount of time.<br />
<br />
For two consecutive terms beginning on 13 June 2013, the Kingdom was on the Advancement Council of the GUM. Florenia has signed treaties with three nations, but finds that its relations with nations they have not signed agreements with are just as strong. Florenia currently has a policy of only recognizing nations which it sees as serious, that is, are not fantasy nations or are based solely online or on imaginary planets or landmasses. By law, recognition may be granted by the Foreign Ministry, and many nations that the Kingdom has not contacted are recognized. On 28 August 2014, the government reapplied for GUM membership, but received no reply.<br />
<br />
In recent years, Florenian foreign policy has been considered of lesser importance by the government. The Kingdom has of late not sought to extend recognition to any territories nor contacted any foreign government.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:AfulaMapColor.png|200px|thumb|right|A map of Afula with [[Floren Pond]] in blue, [[Eran National Park]] in green, and all other crown property in yellow.]]<br />
Florenia is comprised of two non-contiguous territories: the Dominion of Afula and the Dominion of Lexington. Afula is the much larger of the Kingdom's territories, rendering Lexington's size negligible by comparison. <br />
<br />
Afula is surrounded by the [[w:Connecticut|State of Connecticut]], and is comprised of four land masses, the [[Dominion of Afula]]. Afula has an approximate area of 25 acres, of which approximately 71% is water and 29% is land. The body of water, which is around 17.5 acres, is [[Floren Pond]], the pond for which Florenia is named. The pond was originally a marsh, and was turned into a pond when a river was opened intentionally opened into the area. Around the coast of Afula, the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep. However, in the center of the pond, water can reach up to 12 feet. <br />
<br />
The pond surrounds the [[Princes Islands]] group that consists of Nathan Island, Henry Island, and Zachary Island, which are named for the three children of Eran. Nathan Island is the only island that can be walked upon, and is decorated with a stone plaque commemorating the builders of the pond. Also, connected to Nathan Island by tree roots, is a small island named Izzy Island, after the Princes' cousin [[Lady Isabella, Duchess of Fishrock]]. Zachary Island is the second largest, and Henry Island the largest out of the three. However, both are overgrown with shrubbery and cannot be walked on or explored further than what can be seen from the water. Around the islands, the water is extremely shallow and the lake bed extremely rocky. <br />
<br />
The other terrain of Afula, around 7.5 acres in area, is made up of forest, tall grass, and a groomed yard. On the coast of the pond is [[Eran National Park]], a small forest which contains an old dilapidated stone wall, large boulders, and complete tree cover. Much of the land is also tall grass, which borders the pond and reaches all the way to the top of a large hill. Atop the hill that looks down on the pond is a well groomed, large yard with two main structures; the [[Palace of State]] and [[the Barn]]. The Palace of State is the residence of the Royal family while in Afula and the official headquarters of the government, and the Barn is a structure that held farming equipment under the properties original ownership. The Barn contains a loft with a bed, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area. The Barn is a quasi guest house, however is rarely used as such. Next to the Barn is a fenced in swimming pool.<br />

<br />
The highest point in the Dominion is around the Palace of State, with an elevation of approximately 1165 feet above sea level. The lowest point is and around Floren pond, with an elevation of approximately 1116 feet above sea level. At its longest point, at a heading of 17.34 degrees, Afula spans approximately 1956 feet across. At its narrowest point, running along the coast at a heading of approximately 123 degrees, the Dominion spans around 402 feet.<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Florenia has a [[w:humid continental climate|humid continental climate]] with hot summers and cold winters. Rainfall and snowfall are evenly divided among the months of the year, and yearly sunshine hours average 2,400. Summer is hot, humid and stormy throughout the Kingdom, with average highs of 76&nbsp;°F (24&nbsp;°C). Although summers are sunny, summer thunderstorms often bring quick downpours and thunder and lighting. Winters are generally cool to cold, with average temperatures of 35&nbsp;°F (1&nbsp;°C). Early spring (April) is coolish and mid and late spring (May/early June) is warm to hot.<br />

==Demographics==<br />
===Population===<br />
Florenia has a total population of fifteen, all of whom are eligible to vote in general elections upon reaching the age of ten. Only five of these fourteen are residents of the Kingdom, a status allowing them to vote in general elections as well as to vote for members of Parliament and stand for election for either post. All but one Florenian citizen have joined by their own accord; Florenian law dictates that any child born to a Florenian citizen is a Florenian citizen, and this clause has come into effect once. All Florenian citizens live full- or part-time on the [[w:East Coast of the United States|East Coast of the United States]].<br />
<br />
===Language===<br />
Although Florenia has no official language, [[w:English language|English]] is the only commonly spoken language among Florenian citizens, and all Florenian legislation and government business is written in English. Among Florenians, however, languages such as [[w:Hebrew|Hebrew]], [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]], [[w:French language|French]], and [[w:Latin|Latin]] are known and spoken by various individuals. Around 86% of Florenian citizens are native English speakers, around 7% are native Hebrew speakers, and 7% native Spanish speakers.<br />
