'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece. On 9 August 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Duchy of Kalavria which was located in the United States. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remained as the sole monarch. On 20 November 2018 at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided to replace King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne. On 29 November 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Athinon which is located in Greece. On 30 November 2018, the Government and the Crown have made a partial revision of the nobility titles, both to their friends and the members of the Royal House. To the heads of state was decided to award the titles of Kouropalates and Zoste Patrikia. The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />
<br />
===Imperial Era 2020-===<br />
<br />
The next step in the history of Imvrassia took place on 1 January 2020 with the proclamation of the Empire. Roman political influence grew throughout the previous period and eventually the adoption of the imperial regime was the culmination of political and political influences and ideas. On 4 May 2020, the Regency status since the September of the previous year expired. On 9 August 2020 the Praetorian Prefecture of Americania was abolished due the small activity and influence it exerted on the micronations of the American continent. On 24 October 2020 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Argadia, a former Imvrassian Duchy and later a Karno-Ruthenian member-state as a Duchy, which had its own political course since 23 June 2016 and as independent state since 8 May 2020. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown.

On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos remained the senior Emperor due to the fact that Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintaining her honorary position but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 12 April 2021 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province with the title of the ''Danish March'' which was located in Germany. On 23 June 2022 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of [[Urabba Parks]], a former sovereign state and now an Imvrassian Hegemony located in [[Rankins Springs (Urabba Parks)|Rankins Springs]], [[New South Wales sector|New South Wales]], [[Micronationalism in Australia|Australia]].

On 3 February 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Province of Krisia which was located in Greece. On 16 March 2023 Imvrassia put under protectorate status the Principality of Doriea after a long time of inactivity and the Hellenistic League's permision.

On 24 May 2023 Imvrassia transferred the sovereignty of the Exarchate of Great Ionia to Græcia, within the framework of friendship and cooperation between the two states. On 16 June 2023 a partial revision of the Constitution took place and more specifically changes in the administrative division of the Empire. The Province remains the only administrative division, and at the same time there will be, if necessary, the administrative unit of the Despotate for younger members or younger branches of the reigning House. The Theme will be the only subdivision of a Province or a Despotate, while for the autonomous states of the Empire the names of Hegemony and Politeia remain.<br> On 10 July 2023 and following negotiations between the Crown and the King of Constantia, it was decided that the aforementioned Kingdom would join the empire with Hegemony status. <br> On 07 October 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Kastria which is located in Greece.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain sole monarch.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King with the official address of ''His Majesty the King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I'' equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> From 1 January 2018 by Royal Decree Queen Aikaterini assumed the office of Chancellor and became Head of Government, taking a more active role in the political life of the Kingdom. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />

'''Heptarchy of New Herakleia''' (Επταρχία της Νέας Ηράκλειας) is an Exarchate of the [[Empire of Imvrassia]].<br />
<br />
==History (Ιστορία)==<br />
<br />
The Heptarchy of New Herakleia was established in 2006 by seven Greek citizens who "wanted to live by their own right and ways". Over the next two years, the level of self-government evolved into a practical provisional government with its own local customs in the village of Nea Heraklia in Chalkidiki. In 2009 ideas of secession emerged leading to a more organized decentralized government and a year later, a Declaration of Independence and a Constitution were signed.<br />
After the initiative of the Prince of Imvrassia, a new chapter opened in the history of the Heptarchy.The First Proclamation of the Prince created the Principality of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia and was published on 7 March 2012. The Second Proclamation of the Prince establishing the Commonwealth, published on 28 August 2012. The personal union between the Commonwealth and Imvrassia expired on 12 January 2013. On this day, the Head of Government of Mouzilo, Demetrios, set new Head of State, as Governor of the Commonwealth. After the fall of Mouzilo, Imvrassia regained the control of the state by establishing it as a protectorate until 30 December 2019 when it was annexed to Imvrassia as an Exarchate. After the administrative reorganization of 1 January 2020 the Heptarchy was administratively subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Thracia and after the 1st June 2022 is subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia. On 16 June 2023 it was granted the status of Province and on 20 February 2024 it was granted the status of Exarchate again.<br />
<br />
==Government (Κυβέρνηση)==<br />
<br />
The Government of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia evolved through the years into a multi-factional system of laws, simple in principal following a decentralized approach to the rulings of the Upper House (Council of the Seven, Βουλή των Επτά) and its supporting Lower House (Assembly of the People, Εκκλησία του Λαού).With the Upper House responsible for creating and enforcing the laws, the Lower House mainly acts as a court of law and at any time and, except in some constitutional revising, has the power to veto or even edit the decisions of the Upper House.<br />
After the First Proclamation of the creation of the Principality (7 March 2012), the form of the Government was Absolute Monarchy.Head of State was the Prince of Imvrassia, who used the title of the 'Prince of the Principality of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia'. The Head of Government has the title of Governor-General. After the Second Proclamation (28 August 2012), that established the Commonwealth, Head of State was the Prince of Imvrassia, as Prince of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, who was represented by the Governor-General. Head of Government was the General Eptarchos. On 12 January 2013, the Head of Government of Mouzilo, Demetrios, took over as Head of State as Governor of the Commonwealth. On 1 October 2016 Imvrassia established a Despotate for the state, as member of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations. From 28 July 2018 the original name of the state was restored. After the unification with Imvrassia an Exarch will be appointed for managing the day-to-day running of the Exarchate.<br />

The Second Proclamation of the Prince establishing the Commonwealth, published on 28 August 2012. The personal union between the Commonwealth and Imvrassia expired on 12 January 2013. On this day, the Head of Government of Mouzilo, Demetrios, set new Head of State, as Governor of the Commonwealth. After the fall of Mouzilo, Imvrassia regained the control of the state by establishing it as a protectorate until 30 December 2019 when it was annexed to Imvrassia as an Exarchate. After the administrative reorganization of 1 January 2020 the Heptarchy was administratively subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Thracia and after the 1st June 2022 is subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia. On 16 June 2023 it was granted the status of Province.<br />
<br />
==Government (Κυβέρνηση)==<br />
<br />
The Government of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia evolved through the years into a multi-factional system of laws, simple in principal following a decentralized approach to the rulings of the Upper House (Council of the Seven, Βουλή των Επτά) and its supporting Lower House (Assembly of the People, Εκκλησία του Λαού).With the Upper House responsible for creating and enforcing the laws, the Lower House mainly acts as a court of law and at any time and, except in some constitutional revising, has the power to veto or even edit the decisions of the Upper House.<br />
After the First Proclamation of the creation of the Principality (7 March 2012), the form of the Government was Absolute Monarchy.Head of State was the Prince of Imvrassia, who used the title of the 'Prince of the Principality of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia'. The Head of Government has the title of Governor-General. After the Second Proclamation (28 August 2012), that established the Commonwealth, Head of State was the Prince of Imvrassia, as Prince of the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, who was represented by the Governor-General. Head of Government was the General Eptarchos. On 12 January 2013, the Head of Government of Mouzilo, Demetrios, took over as Head of State as Governor of the Commonwealth. On 1 October 2016 Imvrassia established a Despotate for the state, as member of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations. From 28 July 2018 the original name of the state was restored. After the unification with Imvrassia an Eponymous Archon will be appointed for managing the day-to-day running of the Province.<br />

This body is under the chairmanship and responsibility of the Exarch, who is appointed by the Crown and has the title of Count or Protosebastos.<br> An Exarch is an official responsible for a polity in the name of and as the representative of the Crown of Imvrassia and is equivalent to the office of a viceroy.<br><br />
An Exarchate is divided into Provinces and the Exarch is able to appoint in each Province an Eponymous Archon. The Exarch's immediate assistant and deputy has the office of Chartoularios and the title of Count or Protosebastos.

<div>The system of Nobles in the Empire of Imvrassia is a collection of mostly hereditary titles granted by the Crown which consists of Imperial Titles and Nobility.<br />
The Crown has the right to award titles of nobility to citizens of the State, as well as to citizens of other states who support Imvrassia and its purposes. The titles of nobility awarded into the State are mainly related to the position of the citizens in the public administration.<br />
<br />
==Imperial Titles==<br />
<br />
'''Caesar and Augousta of Imvrassia'''. The male Heir to the Throne has the rank of '''''Caesar''''' and the female Heir to the Throne has the rank of '''''Augusta'''''. A Caesar or an Augusta until today, has no formal public role or responsibility, but the Heir to the Throne could represent the Crown when is necessary.<br> On 8 November 2021 on the occasion of the [[w:Michael (archangel)#Eastern and Oriental Orthodox|name day]] of the Emperor Aggelos, the co-Emperor Stamatios and Caesar Stamatios, an Imperial decree issued and it was decided that the Heir to the Throne may have an additional title with the rank of Despotes, which is the highest title an individual in Imvrassia can hold and is associated (nominal) with a Province. The Heir to the Throne acquires (nominal) the responsibility in a Province due to his secondary title, but this does not mean that it is upgraded to a Despotate, because he cannot held an autonomous state or an appanage in his capacity as Heir.<br> From 1 January 2022 the current Heir to the Throne, Caesar Stamatios, hold two substantive titles. The first title is that of the '''Despotes of Odrysia''' and the second is that of the '''Despotes of Orfalia''' and refer to areas that are of particular importance to the State, both politically and culturally. On 16 April 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a Chrysobull and Caesar Stamatios was awarded the title of '''Hegemon of Thracia''' while his previous titles were abolished.<br />

<br />
The '''House of Vatazides''', formerly known as the '''House of Imvrassia''', is a micronational dynasty of Greek origin from Thrace, Asia Minor and the Aegean; its members have reigned in [[Empire of Imvrassia|Imvrassia]], '''Orfalia''', '''Temiria''' and [[Kingdom of Tarevia|Tarevia]]. <br />
<br />
In '''Imvrassia''', its members as monarchs used the titles of Prince (2011-2016), King (2016-2020) and Emperor (2020- ). <br />
<br />
In '''Orfalia''', the House used the titles of King (2015) and Emperor (2015-2016) until the union of Orfalia with Imvrassia. <br />
<br />
In '''Temiria''', the House used the title of King. The Kingdom of Temiria was founded on 1 January 2022 and claims the political and cultural heritage of Timeria. The Government of the Kingdom through the Declaration of the Independence offer the Throne to the Imvrassian Emperor Aggelos and a personal union between the two states was formed.<br />
<br />
In '''Tarevia''', the House used the title of King. The Kingdom of Temiria was founded on 20 March 2022 and its Government offer the Throne to the Imvrassian Emperor Aggelos on 4 April 2022 and a personal union between the two states was formed.<br />
<br />
The original name of the House was "House of Imvrassia"; due to strong Roman heritage, this was changed and the new name come from the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and this action had multiple interpretations and meanings. On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign. The incumbent head of state and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty the Emperor of Imvrassia, [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]]'''. Apart from the founder of the House, the other members are his children, Co-Empress Aikaterini, Despotissa Theologia and Caesar Stamatios.<br />
<br />
== Ranks and Titles of the House of Vatazides ==<br />
<br />
The reigning Imperial House of Imvrassia is officially called '''House of Vatazides'''. As members of the House of Vatazides are considered the direct descendants of the founder of Imvrassia, Aggelos, and the descendants of those. The currently Head of State and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]], Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans, Perpetuus Augustus'''.<br><br />
<br />
The members of the Imperial House use the titles above:<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'' Titles for the Emperor and Co-Emperor ''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''(name) Basileus Autokrator or (name) Basilissa Autokrateira of Imvrassia'''. The Sovereign's title at its simple form which translates into English as ''Emperor of Imvrassia'' or ''Empress of Imvrassia'', while the official title has the form of '''''His/Her Majesty (name), Faithful Imvrassian Emperor/Empress and Autocrat of the Romans, Perpetuus Augustus/Most Pious Augusta'''''. The official style includes various elements, such as religious, as the monarch is referred to as a Faithful, i.e. he protects the dominant religion of the state. Reference is also made to the origin of the title of the Roman emperor, who comes from Imvrassia, as well as to the honorary title of Augustus. Also the Basileus Autokrator of Imvrassia is the Head of the Imperial House, of the State and commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, having the ancient Macedonian title of '''Protector of the Realm''', ie the state, referring to the overall command of the Monarch over the armies of the State.<br> <br />
<br />
'''Basileus (name) and Basilissa (name) of Imvrassia'''. The simple style of a junior co-emperor/empress who has the imperial dignity as ''Basileus or Basilissa'' in his/her own right, but has not substantive political power. Its alternative form is '''Symbasileus/Symbasilissa (name) of Imvrassia''' and has exactly the same meaning. The official form of a junior co-emperor/empress is '''''His/Her Majesty (name), Co-Emperor/Empress of Imvrassia and Augustus/Augusta'''''. The title is usually given to the Heir to the Throne who takes an active role in State's administration and his or her elevation to the imperial dignity or to a former Emperor or Empress (after abdication). On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council, concerning the members of the Ruling House to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two active co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture. Another case where a co-emperor or a co-empress can be appointed is in the absence of a Heir to the Throne and the Crown promote a member of the House with the rank of Sebastokrator or Sebastokrateira to the imperial dignity of Basileus or Basilissa. The notion of "partnership" in the form of a senior emperor and several junior co-emperors became quite common in the Eastern Roman Empire and so Imvrassia adopted as well.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'' Titles for the members of the Imperial House ''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Caesar (name) and Augousta (name) of Imvrassia'''. The male Heir to the Throne has the rank of '''''Caesar''''' and the female Heir to the Throne has the rank of '''''Augusta'''''. The official form of a Caesar or an Augusta is '''''His/Her Royal Highness, Caesar or Augusta (name) of Imvrassia'''''. A Caesar or an Augusta until today, has no formal public role or responsibility, but the Heir to the Throne could represent the Crown when is necessary and could exercise administration in a Province and in addition to a Praetorian Prefecture.<br><br />
<br />
'''Sebastokrator (name) and Sebastokrateira (name) of Imvrassia'''. The heir of the Heir to the Throne as well as the other children of the Sovereign, may be promoted to the rank of '''''Sebastokrator or Sebastokrateira''''' and the official form is '''''His/Her Royal Highness Sebastokrator or Sebastokrateira (name) of Imvrassia'''''. The holder of such title may exercise administration in a Province or a Despotate and in addition to a Praetorian Prefecture.<br><br />
<br />
'''Despotes (name) and Despotissa (name) of Imvrassia'''. The children of the Heir to the Throne may be promoted to the rank of '''''Despotes or Despotissa''''' and could exercise administration in a Province or a Despotate, while the children of the Sovereign acquire the rank by birth and they also could exercise administration in a Province or a Despotate. The official form of a Despotes or Despotissa is '''''His/Her Highness Despotes or Despotissa (name) of Imvrassia'''''. <br><br />
<br />

On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign. The incumbent head of state and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty the Emperor of Imvrassia, [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]]'''.

On 23 June 2016 Argadia, which was a Crown land, gained independence in order to unite with the [[Karnia-Ruthenia|Karno-Ruthenian Empire]]. The then King of Imvrassia, Aggelos I, assumed the title of the '''Duke of Argadia''' and create a new state within [[Karnia-Ruthenia]], as the result of the historic friendship between [[Imvrassia]] and [[Ruthenia]]. The Duchy of Argadia became independent on 8 May 2020 and on 15 May 2020 proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom in personal union with Imvrassia. The personal union last until 24 October 2020 when Argadia was annexed into Imvrassia. <br><br />
On 7 August 2018 at the territory of the former Town of [[Ionisia]] was created the [[Archontia of Ionisia]], as a self-governing entity. On 25 July 2019 Ionisia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom, but on 26 September 2019 was annexed into Imvrassia as a Province.<br><br />

The Kingdom of Tarevia was founded on 20 March 2022 and its Government offer the Throne to the Imvrassian Emperor Aggelos on 4 April 2022 and a personal union between the two states was formed.<br><br />
On 1 July 2022 Emperor Aggelos issued a Chrysobull, wanting to emphasize the pre-arhaic, arhaic and classical Greek historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal re-establishment of the kingdoms of Ionisia and Argadia. The said kingdoms took their names from the ancient tribe of the Ionians and a division of them the Argadeis and they took under their nominal authority certain provinces, without however had theirs institutions, special privileges, or autonomy. With a new Chrysobull on 25 December 2022, the nominal kingship was abolished and replaced by two new dynastic titles of the dignity of Sebastokrator. The Crown awarded the title of Sebastokrator of Ionisia to Co-Emperor Stamatios, while Co-Empress Aikaterini was awarded the title of Sebastokrateira of Argadia.<br> On 27 February 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull of the Kingdoms'', wanting the Crown to emphasize the pre-archaic - archaic - classical Greek and Roman historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal establishment of the kingdoms of Thracia and Rhomanisia. The said kingdoms took their names from the area of origin of the Vatazides and from a compound word with reference to Rome and by extension to the name of Rhomania. The Kingdom of Thracia includes the province of Odrysia, without any special privilege or autonomy. The Kingdom of Rhomanisia includes the kingdoms of Ionisia, Argadia and Thracia, as they are possessions of the House of the Vatazides. At the same time, two new dynastic titles were created. One of the dignity of Sebastokrator while the second acquired a higher value, as the Hellenistic title of '''[[w:King_of_Kings#Hellenic_usage|Great King]]''' was adopted for all the possessions of the Imperial House.<br> On 16 April 2023, on the day of the Orthodox Easter, Emperor Aggelos issued a new Chrysobull and change the dynastic titles of Sebastokrator to that of Hegemon (from Ancient Greek ἡγεμών - hēgemṓn, “a leader”, from ἡγέομαι - hēgéomai, “to lead”), as it is etymologically closer to the nominal jurisdiction of the title holders. Also with the same Chrysobull Caesar Stamatios was awarded the title of Hegemon of Thracia while his previous titles were abolished. On 25 November 2023 the Privy Council decided to abolish the dynastic title of the emperor, on the grounds that his official and simple titles cover the highest authority within the state and he has no need for any special title. On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a monarchical one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini.<br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece. On 9 August 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Duchy of Kalavria which was located in the United States. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remained as the sole monarch. On 20 November 2018 at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided to replace King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne. On 29 November 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Athinon which is located in Greece. On 30 November 2018, the Government and the Crown have made a partial revision of the nobility titles, both to their friends and the members of the Royal House. To the heads of state was decided to award the titles of Kouropalates and Zoste Patrikia. The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />
<br />
===Imperial Era 2020-===<br />
<br />
The next step in the history of Imvrassia took place on 1 January 2020 with the proclamation of the Empire. Roman political influence grew throughout the previous period and eventually the adoption of the imperial regime was the culmination of political and political influences and ideas. On 4 May 2020, the Regency status since the September of the previous year expired. On 9 August 2020 the Praetorian Prefecture of Americania was abolished due the small activity and influence it exerted on the micronations of the American continent. On 24 October 2020 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Argadia, a former Imvrassian Duchy and later a Karno-Ruthenian member-state as a Duchy, which had its own political course since 23 June 2016 and as independent state since 8 May 2020.

On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos remained the senior Emperor due to the fact that Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintaining her honorary position but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 12 April 2021 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province with the title of the ''Danish March'' which was located in Germany.

On 16 June 2023 a partial revision of the Constitution took place and more specifically changes in the administrative division of the Empire. The Province remains the only administrative division, and at the same time there will be, if necessary, the administrative unit of the Despotate for younger members or younger branches of the reigning House.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain sole monarch.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King with the official address of ''His Majesty the King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I'' equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> From 1 January 2018 by Royal Decree Queen Aikaterini assumed the office of Chancellor and became Head of Government, taking a more active role in the political life of the Kingdom. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />
<br />
===Legislature===<br />
<br />
The first Constitution was in force from 16 May 2011 until 15 January 2013. The second Constitution was in force from 5 October 2013 until 31 January 2016. Under the current Constitution, which was adopted on 3 February 2016 and revised on 1 January 2020, Imvrassia is a micronational polity as a unitary and constitutional monarchy. The Crown appoints the Head of the Council of State, who has the title of Mesazon. <br> According to the constitution the legislative power is exercised by the Crown and the [[Privy Council of Imvrassia|Privy Council]]. Its members are appointed by the Crown and their term of office is unlimited. However the Crown has the right to issue special decrees, the ''Chrysobulls'', wich operate within the framework of the Constitution and the passed laws. In this way, Chrysobulls giving a special feeling to the work produced. The corresponding procedure in the autonomous states of the Empire, i.e Hegemonies and Politeies is done by the head ruler and the decree is called ''Argyrobull''.<br />
<br />
===Executive===<br />

The original name of the House was '''House of Imvrassia''', however due to strong Roman heritage this was changed and the new name come from the Roman Emperor John III as an honorary act. On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign.

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King.

On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities.

On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''.

On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />

The Crown and the Government of Imvrassia have adopted as an official principle of policy that Imvrassia continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider Imvrassia ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]]. This view is based on facts such as that Imvrassia's declaration of independence held on 11 May, the same day as [[w:Constantinople|Constantinople]] was declared the new capital of the Roman Empire, that is a micronation whose sovereignty extends in regions of the [[w:Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman Empire]], the official language is Hellenic (Greek), ie the language spoken by its inhabitants as well as those in the Eastern Roman Empire and finally by the monarchical regime. <br />
<br />

<br />
Religion in Imvrassia is dominated by the [[w:Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox Church]], which is within the larger communion of the [[w:Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox Church]] and it represented almost the total population. Since its founding, Imvrassia has pursued a policy of guaranteeing freedom of religious belief for all, respecting the religious beliefs and cultural tradition of its citizens.<br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece. On 9 August 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Duchy of Kalavria which was located in the United States. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remained as the sole monarch. On 20 November 2018 at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided to replace King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne. On 29 November 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Athinon which is located in Greece. On 30 November 2018, the Government and the Crown have made a partial revision of the nobility titles, both to their friends and the members of the Royal House. To the heads of state was decided to award the titles of Kouropalates and Zoste Patrikia. The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />
<br />
===Imperial Era 2020-===<br />
<br />
The next step in the history of Imvrassia took place on 1 January 2020 with the proclamation of the Empire. Roman political influence grew throughout the previous period and eventually the adoption of the imperial regime was the culmination of political and political influences and ideas. On 4 May 2020, the Regency status since the September of the previous year expired. On 9 August 2020 the Praetorian Prefecture of Americania was abolished due the small activity and influence it exerted on the micronations of the American continent. On 24 October 2020 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Argadia, a former Imvrassian Duchy and later a Karno-Ruthenian member-state as a Duchy, which had its own political course since 23 June 2016 and as independent state since 8 May 2020. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 with a new Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintaining his honorary imperial status but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos remained the senior Emperor due to the fact that Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintaining her honorary position but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 12 April 2021 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province with the title of the ''Danish March'' which was located in Germany. On 23 June 2022 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of [[Urabba Parks]], a former sovereign state and now an Imvrassian Hegemony located in [[Rankins Springs (Urabba Parks)|Rankins Springs]], [[New South Wales sector|New South Wales]], [[Micronationalism in Australia|Australia]].

On 3 February 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Province of Krisia which was located in Greece. On 16 March 2023 Imvrassia put under protectorate status the Principality of Doriea after a long time of inactivity and the Hellenistic League's permision.

On 24 May 2023 Imvrassia transferred the sovereignty of the Exarchate of Great Ionia to Græcia, within the framework of friendship and cooperation between the two states. On 16 June 2023 a partial revision of the Constitution took place and more specifically changes in the administrative division of the Empire. The Province remains the only administrative division, and at the same time there will be, if necessary, the administrative unit of the Despotate for younger members or younger branches of the reigning House. The Theme will be the only subdivision of a Province or a Despotate, while for the autonomous states of the Empire the names of Hegemony and Politeia remain.<br> On 10 July 2023 and following negotiations between the Crown and the King of Constantia, it was decided that the aforementioned Kingdom would join the empire with Hegemony status. <br> On 07 October 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Kastria which is located in Greece.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain sole monarch.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King with the official address of ''His Majesty the King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I'' equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> From 1 January 2018 by Royal Decree Queen Aikaterini assumed the office of Chancellor and became Head of Government, taking a more active role in the political life of the Kingdom. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />
<br />

The first Constitution was in force from 16 May 2011 until 15 January 2013. The second Constitution was in force from 5 October 2013 until 31 January 2016.

'''Aglakea''' (formely known as Orfalia) is an Exarchate of the [[Empire of Imvrassia]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
The name Aglakea comes from the Greek [[w:Aglaia|Aglaia]], and kleos, 'glory', i.e. ''glory of Aglaia''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== Beginnings ===<br />
The state's history, as Orfalia, began on the 19 August 2015, and was created respecting the [[w:Hellenistic philosophy|hellenistic]] traditions and culture. On the foundation was the establishment of a Constitution which was amended and adopted on the 17th of September, 2015. The first King of Orfalia, was Angelos I, who eventually abdicated on the 1 September, 2015 in favor of the then Prince of Imvrassia, Aggelos A'. On the 2 September 2015, the monarch of [[Imvrassia]] accepted with honor the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and to then be enthroned as the King, with the constitutional name [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia|Angelos II]] King of Orfalia.<br />
<br />
=== Empire ===<br />
<br />
After the absorption of [[Timeria]] in Orfalia, the Kingdom was elevated to that of an Empire. Therefore, Angelos II was enthroned with the approval of all of the Orphics and the Orthodox Church, like the first Emperor of Orfalia with the official title of, ''Aggelos I Emperor of Orfalia'' on the 7th of October 2015. The new Imperial regime has political and cultural influence and inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history and furthermore it is considered and represents the continuing of the historical legacy of the Roman Empire, both western and eastern. The Orphic Government and the Orphic citizens overall, consider the Emperor of Orfalia a legitimate successor of the Empire that fell with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. With these formalities, it was obvious that the Emperor of Orfalia expressed a great enthusiasm for the cultural and political tradition which comes through the influence and love for the ancient Greek and Roman history. <br />
<br />
=== Union with Imvrassia ===<br />
<br />
On the 1 December 2016, Emperor Aggelos I resigned in favor of his daughter and Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini. Her Majesty on the same day annexed Orfalia into the Kingdom of Imvrassia as an Exarchate. After the administrative reorganization on the 1 January 2020, the Exarchate is administratively subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Hesperia. On 3 February 2021 a new reorganization plan began and the name of Aglakea has chosen.<br />

Subsequently, the Pragmatic Party and Kostalira Bartresa-in Orphic language Patriotic Left- were created. On the 18th of September 2015, the Pragmatic Party was re-founded under the name "'''Social Democratic Party of Orfalia'''", and the Democratic Party it was re-founded under the name '''National Party of Orfalia'''.

<br />
=== Despotes of Orfalia ===<br />
<br />
Wanting to show respect for the political and cultural past of the Exarchate, as well as the importance of the tradition of old Orfalia within the Empire, the Crown decided to create the title of ''Despotes of Orfalia''. This is a dynastic title of the heir apparent to the Imvrassian throne and furthermore symbolizes the unity of the State.<br> On 16 April 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a Chrysobull and Caesar Stamatios was awarded the title of '''Hegemon of Thracia''' while his previous titles were abolished.<br />

'''Aglakea''' (formely known as Orfalia) is a Province of the [[Empire of Imvrassia]].<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
The name Aglakea comes from the Greek [[w:Aglaia|Aglaia]], and kleos, 'glory', i.e. ''glory of Aglaia''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== Beginnings ===<br />
The state's history, as Orfalia, began on the 19 August 2015, and was created respecting the [[w:Hellenistic philosophy|hellenistic]] traditions and culture. On the foundation was the establishment of a Constitution which was amended and adopted on the 17th of September, 2015. The first King of Orfalia, was Angelos I, who eventually abdicated on the 1 September, 2015 in favor of the then Prince of Imvrassia, Aggelos A'. On the 2 September 2015, the monarch of [[Imvrassia]] accepted with honor the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and to then be enthroned as the King, with the constitutional name [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia|Angelos II]] King of Orfalia.<br />
<br />
=== Empire ===<br />
After the absorption of [[Timeria]] in Orfalia, the Kingdom was elevated to that of an Empire. Therefore, Angelos II was enthroned with the approval of all of the Orphics and the Orthodox Church, like the first Emperor of Orfalia with the official title of, ''Aggelos I Emperor of Orfalia'' on the 7th of October 2015. The new Imperial regime has political and cultural influence and inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history and furthermore it is considered and represents the continuing of the historical legacy of the Roman Empire, both western and eastern. The Orphic Government and the Orphic citizens overall, consider the Emperor of Orfalia a legitimate successor of the Empire that fell with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. With these formalities, it was obvious that the Emperor of Orfalia expressed a great enthusiasm for the cultural and political tradition which comes through the influence and love for the ancient Greek and Roman history. <br />
<br />
=== Union with Imvrassia ===<br />
<br />
On the 1 December 2016, Emperor Aggelos I resigned in favor of his daughter and Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini. Her Majesty on the same day annexed Orfalia into the Kingdom of Imvrassia as an Exarchate. After the administrative reorganization on the 1 January 2020, the Exarchate is administratively subordinate to the Praetorian Prefecture of Hesperia. On 3 February 2021 a new reorganization plan began and the name of Aglakea has chosen.<br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece. On 9 August 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Duchy of Kalavria which was located in the United States. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remained as the sole monarch. On 20 November 2018 at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided to replace King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne. On 29 November 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Athinon which is located in Greece. On 30 November 2018, the Government and the Crown have made a partial revision of the nobility titles, both to their friends and the members of the Royal House. To the heads of state was decided to award the titles of Kouropalates and Zoste Patrikia. The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />
<br />
===Imperial Era 2020-===<br />
<br />
The next step in the history of Imvrassia took place on 1 January 2020 with the proclamation of the Empire. Roman political influence grew throughout the previous period and eventually the adoption of the imperial regime was the culmination of political and political influences and ideas. On 4 May 2020, the Regency status since the September of the previous year expired. On 9 August 2020 the Praetorian Prefecture of Americania was abolished due the small activity and influence it exerted on the micronations of the American continent. On 24 October 2020 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Argadia, a former Imvrassian Duchy and later a Karno-Ruthenian member-state as a Duchy, which had its own political course since 23 June 2016 and as independent state since 8 May 2020. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 with a new Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintaining his honorary imperial status but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain sole monarch.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King with the official address of ''His Majesty the King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I'' equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> From 1 January 2018 by Royal Decree Queen Aikaterini assumed the office of Chancellor and became Head of Government, taking a more active role in the political life of the Kingdom. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />
<br />

The original name of the House was '''House of Imvrassia''', however due to strong Roman heritage this was changed and the new name come from the Roman Emperor John III as an honorary act. On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign. The incumbent head of state and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty the Emperor of Imvrassia, [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]]'''.

With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States.

On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece.

The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy.

On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />
<br />

This view is based on facts such as that Imvrassia's declaration of independence held on 11 May, the same day as [[w:Constantinople|Constantinople]] was declared the new capital of the Roman Empire, that is a micronation whose sovereignty extends in regions of the [[w:Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman Empire]], the official language is Hellenic (Greek), ie the language spoken by its inhabitants as well as those in the Eastern Roman Empire and finally by the monarchical regime. <br />

The original name of the House was '''House of Imvrassia''', however due to strong Roman heritage this was changed and the new name come from the Roman Emperor John III as an honorary act. On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign. The incumbent head of state and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty the Emperor of Imvrassia, [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]]'''. Apart from the founder of the House, the other members are his children, Co-Empress Aikaterini, Despotissa Theologia and Caesar Stamatios.<br />

The then King of Imvrassia, Aggelos I, assumed the title of the '''Duke of Argadia''' and create a new state within [[Karnia-Ruthenia]], as the result of the historic friendship between [[Imvrassia]] and [[Ruthenia]]. The Duchy of Argadia became independent on 8 May 2020 and on 15 May 2020 proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom in personal union with Imvrassia.

On 1 July 2022 Emperor Aggelos issued a Chrysobull, wanting to emphasize the pre-arhaic, arhaic and classical Greek historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal re-establishment of the kingdoms of Ionisia and Argadia. The said kingdoms took their names from the ancient tribe of the Ionians and a division of them the Argadeis and they took under their nominal authority certain provinces, without however had theirs institutions, special privileges, or autonomy. With a new Chrysobull on 25 December 2022, the nominal kingship was abolished and replaced by two new dynastic titles of the dignity of Sebastokrator. The Crown awarded the title of Sebastokrator of Ionisia to Co-Emperor Stamatios, while Co-Empress Aikaterini was awarded the title of Sebastokrateira of Argadia.<br> On 27 February 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull of the Kingdoms'', wanting the Crown to emphasize the pre-archaic - archaic - classical Greek and Roman historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal establishment of the kingdoms of Thracia and Rhomanisia. The said kingdoms took their names from the area of origin of the Vatazides and from a compound word with reference to Rome and by extension to the name of Rhomania. The Kingdom of Thracia includes the province of Odrysia, without any special privilege or autonomy. The Kingdom of Rhomanisia includes the kingdoms of Ionisia, Argadia and Thracia, as they are possessions of the House of the Vatazides. At the same time, two new dynastic titles were created. One of the dignity of Sebastokrator while the second acquired a higher value, as the Hellenistic title of '''[[w:King_of_Kings#Hellenic_usage|Great King]]''' was adopted for all the possessions of the Imperial House.<br> On 16 April 2023, on the day of the Orthodox Easter, Emperor Aggelos issued a new Chrysobull and change the dynastic titles of Sebastokrator to that of Hegemon (from Ancient Greek ἡγεμών - hēgemṓn, “a leader”, from ἡγέομαι - hēgéomai, “to lead”), as it is etymologically closer to the nominal jurisdiction of the title holders. Also with the same Chrysobull Caesar Stamatios was awarded the title of Hegemon of Thracia while his previous titles were abolished. On 25 November 2023 the Privy Council decided to abolish the dynastic title of the emperor, on the grounds that his official and simple titles cover the highest authority within the state and he has no need for any special title. On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a monarchical one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini.<br />

On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a monarchical one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini.<br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece. On 9 August 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Duchy of Kalavria which was located in the United States. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remained as the sole monarch. On 20 November 2018 at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided to replace King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne. On 29 November 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Athinon which is located in Greece. On 30 November 2018, the Government and the Crown have made a partial revision of the nobility titles, both to their friends and the members of the Royal House. To the heads of state was decided to award the titles of Kouropalates and Zoste Patrikia. The members of the Royal House was decided to adopt and use the titles of Patrikios and Patrikia, Nobelissimos and Zoste Patrikia, Despotes and Despotissa, and finally the Heir to the Throne will have the title of Caesar or Augusta.<br> On 7 April 2019 Euxeinos State was abolished after the resignation of its Eponymous Archon Mr. Georgios G. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 26 September 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Ionisia. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 30 December 2019 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of Great Ionia, New Byzantium and the Heptarchy of New Herakleia as Exarchates, dissolving the protectorate's status of them. <br />
<br />
===Imperial Era 2020-===<br />
<br />
The next step in the history of Imvrassia took place on 1 January 2020 with the proclamation of the Empire. Roman political influence grew throughout the previous period and eventually the adoption of the imperial regime was the culmination of political and political influences and ideas. On 4 May 2020, the Regency status since the September of the previous year expired. On 9 August 2020 the Praetorian Prefecture of Americania was abolished due the small activity and influence it exerted on the micronations of the American continent. On 24 October 2020 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Argadia, a former Imvrassian Duchy and later a Karno-Ruthenian member-state as a Duchy, which had its own political course since 23 June 2016 and as independent state since 8 May 2020. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 with a new Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintaining his honorary imperial status but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos remained the senior Emperor due to the fact that Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintaining her honorary position but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 12 April 2021 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province with the title of the ''Danish March'' which was located in Germany. On 23 June 2022 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of [[Urabba Parks]], a former sovereign state and now an Imvrassian Hegemony located in [[Rankins Springs (Urabba Parks)|Rankins Springs]], [[New South Wales sector|New South Wales]], [[Micronationalism in Australia|Australia]]. On 24 August 2022 the Crown refresh state symbols with the re-adoption of the original flag of Imvrassia and to redesign the small coat of arms and the personal standard of the emperors. On 3 February 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Province of Krisia which was located in Greece. On 16 March 2023 Imvrassia put under protectorate status the Principality of Doriea after a long time of inactivity and the Hellenistic League's permision. On 22 March 2023 Imvrassia jointly with the Imperium Aquilae put under protectorate status the Empire of Ovrestlia after a long time of inactivity and the Hellenistic League's permision.

On 15 May 2023 the Crown refresh state symbols with the re-adoption of the imperial flag of Imvrassia and the imperial small coat of arms and also the personal standard of the emperors and the personal coat of arms of members of the Imperial House. On 23 May 2023 the Politeia of Kalo Republic was abolished. On 24 May 2023 Imvrassia transferred the sovereignty of the Exarchate of Great Ionia to Græcia, within the framework of friendship and cooperation between the two states. On 16 June 2023 a partial revision of the Constitution took place and more specifically changes in the administrative division of the Empire. The Province remains the only administrative division, and at the same time there will be, if necessary, the administrative unit of the Despotate for younger members or younger branches of the reigning House. The Theme will be the only subdivision of a Province or a Despotate, while for the autonomous states of the Empire the names of Hegemony and Politeia remain.<br> On 10 July 2023 and following negotiations between the Crown and the King of Constantia, it was decided that the aforementioned Kingdom would join the empire with Hegemony status. <br> On 07 October 2023 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new region, the Province of Kastria which is located in Greece. On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a monarchical one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini.<br />
<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''. On 1 April 2016 King Aggelos appointed Caesar Stamatios as Co-King of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Royal Highness the Co-King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I''. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia, with the official address of ''Her Majesty the Queen of Imvrassia, Aikaterini I'' equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain sole monarch.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King with the official address of ''His Majesty the King of Imvrassia, Stamatios I'' equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> From 1 January 2018 by Royal Decree Queen Aikaterini assumed the office of Chancellor and became Head of Government, taking a more active role in the political life of the Kingdom. On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties. The Crown was offered to Princess Aikaterini who accepted it and returned to the throne while she remained the head of the government.<br> On 25 February 2019 Magistros Stamatios has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''.<br> On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the largest administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />

<hr />
<div>Through the long-standing influence of Greek and Roman history on the various titles used by Imvrassia, both in administration and in the offices and titles of its citizens and members of the reigning house, yet another category of nominal and dynastic titles has been created . The nominal titles have to do with the creation of kingdoms, the names of which come from Greek and Roman history and refer to areas that are considered possessions of the reigning house. The dynastic titles are linked to the areas that cover the kingdoms and are attributed to members of the reigning house, wanting in this way the Crown to highlight the importance of them.<br />
<br />
==Nominal Titles==<br />
<br />
On 1 July 2022 Emperor Aggelos on the occasion of the completion of 7 years of his reign issued the ''Chrysobull of the Kingdoms'', wanting to emphasize the pre-arhaic, arhaic and classical Greek historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal re-establishment of the kingdoms of Ionisia and Argadia. The said kingdoms took their names from the ancient tribe of the Ionians and a division of them the Argadeis and they took under their nominal authority certain provinces, without however had theirs institutions, special privileges, or autonomy. The Kingdom of Ionisia claim (nominal) an area of land on which the original kingdom didn't and the Kingdom of Argadia claim is on the same land that the Province of Argadia is extend with the addition of one more Province. <br> On 27 February 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull of the Kingdoms'', wanting the Crown to emphasize the pre-archaic - archaic - classical Greek and Roman historical background of the State and proceeded to the nominal establishment of the kingdoms of Thracia and Rhomanisia. The said kingdoms took their names from the [[w:Thrace|area of origin]] of the Vatazides and from a compound word with reference to Rome and to the Land of Romans and by extension to the name of [[w:Ρωμανία | Rhomania ]]. The Kingdom of Thracia includes the province of Odrysia, without any special privilege or autonomy. The Kingdom of Rhomanisia includes the kingdoms of Ionisia, Argadia and Thracia, as they are possessions of the House of the Vatazides and are considered the central territories of the State. <br> On 25 November 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull'' and re-organized the nominal Kingdom of Argadia in which he granted new provinces and at the same time removed the old ones. On the same day, the Privy Council decided to abolish the dynastic title of the Emperor, on the grounds that his official and simple titles cover the highest authority within the state and he has no need for any special title. On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a monarchical one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini.<br />

==Dynastic Titles==<br />
<br />
On 8 November 2021 on the occasion of the [[w:Michael (archangel)#Eastern and Oriental Orthodox|name day]] of the Emperor Aggelos, the co-Emperor Stamatios and Caesar Stamatios, an Imperial decree issued and it was decided that the Heir to the Throne may have an substantive title with the rank of Despotes, which is the highest title an individual in Imvrassia can hold ''and'' is connected with a Province. According to this decision, the Heir to the Throne acquires the responsibility in a Province due to his secondary title. Since that day the title of the '''Despotes of Odrysia''' was awarded to Caesar Stamatios. <br>From 1 January 2022 Caesar Stamatios was awarded a new substantive title, that of the '''Despotes of Orfalia''' . <br><br />
With a Chrysobull on 25 December 2022, the Crown created and awarded the title of '''Sebastokrator of Ionisia''' to Co-Emperor Stamatios, while Co-Empress Aikaterini was awarded the title of '''Sebastokrateira of Argadia'''.<br> On 27 February 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull of the Kingdoms'' and two new dynastic titles were created. The first was the '''Sebastokrator of Thracia''' and the second title was the '''Great King in Rhomanisia''', with the second occupied by the Emperor himself. The title which created by the Emperor to cover all the dynastic territories, has a Hellenistic origin and use and is translated as '''Megas Basileus''', as in the sub-dynastic titles the holder may be a '''Basileus''' or a '''Basilissa''' in his/her own right and thus the highest title held by an Emperor should be distinguished from the others. <br> On 16 April 2023 Emperor Aggelos issued a new ''Chrysobull'' and change the dynastic titles of Sebastokrator to that of '''Hegemon''' (from Ancient Greek ἡγεμών - hēgemṓn, “a leader”, from ἡγέομαι - hēgéomai, “to lead”), as it is etymologically closer to the nominal jurisdiction of the title holders. Also with the same Chrysobull Caesar Stamatios was awarded the title of '''Hegemon of Thracia''' while his previous titles were abolished. On 25 November 2023 the Privy Council decided to abolish the dynastic title of the Emperor, on the grounds that his official and simple titles cover the highest authority within the state and he has no need for any special title.<br> On 14 February 2024 with Chrysobull it was decided to transform the dynastic title of the Hegemon of Argadia into a ''monarchical'' one, and the provinces that belonged to the nominal kingdom of Argadia were granted as the Hegemony of Argadia to Co-Empress Aikaterini. With this act the title acquired a personal character in terms of the sovereignty and exercise of power by the co-Empress Aikaterini and is not linked to a specific area but to the totality of the areas Her Majesty exercises control over.<br />

An '''Exarch''' is a title to describe the head of the administration in an Exarchate.<br><br />
An Imvrassian citizen who had the title of Count/Countess or Protosebastos/Protosebaste could be appointed as an Exarch by the Crown and the length of his/her term is determined by his own desire to administer an administrative subdivision of the state as is the case of others administrative divisions.<br><br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States. On 23 June 2016 the Duchy of Argadia which was a Crown land, gained independence within the framework of an agreement on cooperation with Karnia-Ruthenia. The King of Imvrassia, assumed the title of Duke of Argadia and the new state become member of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 20 August 2016 the Crown Princess Aikaterini, proclaimed as Queen of Imvrassia equal to the position of King Aggelos, thus transforming the regime of Imvrassia from monarchy to diarchy. On 6 October 2016 King Aggelos reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 King Aggelos abdicate from the throne and so Queen Aikaterini remain the sole monarch. On 1 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed Orfalia as an Exarchate and on 10 December 2016 Imvrassia annexed as an Exarchate its old protectorate the Despotate of New Mystras, after an agreement with the Despotate's old ruler who became an active micronationalist again.<br> On 14 January 2017, the Council of Ministers adopted again the Diarchy with the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios as joint King equal to the position of Queen Aikaterini.<br> On 8 April 2018 Imvrassia expanded with the annexation of a new Province, the Euxeinos State which was located in Greece.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman state, that on the same date on 629 Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title, the title of ''Basileus''.

On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch. On 20 November 2018, at an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet, it was decided the replacement of the King Stamatios as he did not respond to his duties.

On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Despotes Aggelos as Regent and was temporarily left the political life. On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed the then junior co-emperor Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]] and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''. This unit has the same name as the ''Guard of the Excubitors'' in remembrance and honor of the respective imperial bodyguard of the Roman State. The ''Guard of the Excubitors'' will be headed by Caesar Stamatios as Heir to the Throne, and his official title will be ''Domestikos of the Excubitors''. On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''. On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the main administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />

<br />
As of February 2023, Imvrassia has an estimated population of 44 spread across its territories in [[Greek sector|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[German sector|Germany]] and [[Micronationalism in Australia|Australia]]. The Crown and the Government of Imvrassia have adopted as an official principle of policy that Imvrassia continues the Hellenistic and Roman tradition and by extension consider Imvrassia ''successor'' of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the [[w:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]]. This view is based on facts such as that Imvrassia's declaration of independence held on 11 May, the same day as [[w:Constantinople|Constantinople]] was declared the new capital of the Roman Empire, that is a micronation whose sovereignty extends in regions of the [[w:Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman Empire]], the official language is Hellenic (Greek), ie the language spoken by its inhabitants as well as those in the Eastern Roman Empire and finally by the monarchical regime. <br />
<br />
===Religion===<br />
<br />
Religion in Imvrassia is dominated by the [[w:Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox Church]], which is within the larger communion of the [[w:Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox Church]] and it represented almost the total population. Since its founding, Imvrassia has pursued a policy of guaranteeing freedom of religious belief for all, respecting the religious beliefs and cultural tradition of its citizens.<br />
<br />
===Citizenship===<br />
<br />
The Empire of Imvrassia accepts new citizens and awards them the title of Sebastos and Sebaste of Imvrassia, if they wish. If they do not want a title of nobility, they merely request citizenship and participate in the public life of the State.<br />
<br />
===Nobility===<br />
<br />
Main article<span> </span>: ''[[Imvrassian Nobles]]''<br />
<br />
The system of Nobles in the Empire of Imvrassia is a collection of mostly hereditary titles granted by the Crown which consists of Imperial Titles and Nobility. The Crown has the right to award titles of nobility to citizens of the State, as well as to citizens of other states who support Imvrassia and its purposes. The titles of nobility awarded into the State are mainly related to the position of the citizens in the public administration.<br />
<br />
===Imperial household===<br />
<br />
Articles<span> </span>: ''[[House of Vatazides]]'' and ''[[Nominal and Dynastic Titles in Imvrassia]]''<br />
<br />
The influence of Greek and Roman history is reflected in the titles which are adopted by Imvrassia both for the members of the Imperial House and for the state officials and also for the name that has been adopted for the reigning house in honor of the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|Jonh III]] and became the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. The original name of the House was '''House of Imvrassia''', however due to strong Roman heritage this was changed and the new name come from the Roman Emperor John III as an honorary act. On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos wanting to honor the said ruler with values and principles that endure over time, while at the same time emphasizing their origin from the same region as this ruler, as well as the political and cultural succession of the Roman state as this ruler maintained during his reign. The incumbent head of state and the Imperial House of Imvrassia is '''His Majesty the Emperor of Imvrassia, [[Aggelos I, Emperor of Imvrassia|Aggelos I]]'''. Apart from the founder of the House, the other members are his children, Co-Empress Aikaterini, Despotissa Theologia and Caesar Stamatios.<br />
<br />

'''Aggelos of Imvrassia''' (born 1 September 1981) is the current Emperor of Imvrassia and Head of the Imperial House of Imvrassia. His Majesty has founded [[Imvrassia]] on 11 May 2011 as its sovereign Prince. His Majesty was also Hegemon of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]] until 5 November 2016 and Emperor of [[Orfalia]] until 1 December 2016 when he abdicated. He returned as Emperor of Imvrassia on 25 December 2020 after Empress Aikaterini's decision. Aggelos is considered by his friends that he is one of the most famous [[w:Greece|Greek]] micronationalists.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The name Aggelos comes from Angelos (the one who brings news) and from the verb angelo which means: I bring news, I foretell. In ancient Greece, the term angel characterized someone who transmitted news, information or advertisements. Homer in his works already uses the word in this sense, while Herodotus and Xenophon use it to describe special envoys conveying messages or information. Angels are also used in other tasks, such as making treaties or collecting money. As a divine or transcendental presence, the concept of angel first appears in the person of Hermes, who is addressed as the angel of Persephone by Homer. Also according to Plato the Underworld has its angels, who are called "angels descending". In the Greek alphabet, the name is written as ''Άγγελος Α''' which is properly transliterated as ''Aggelos I''. The letter 'A' after the name identifies the numbering of the Monarch.<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
===First reign===<br />
His Majesty have an active role in the politics of the State, as Head of State and also as a Minister. All the legislative and administrative changes wich have been made, reflects the desire and the willingness of growth and development of Imvrassia into the world of micronations, with elements from the political history of ancient Greece and Rome.<br />
<br />
After a period in which His Majesty devoted himself to the organization and operation of Imvrassia, he began the reorganization in Greece of some inactive Greek states. This resulted in the establishment of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations on 25 November 2013.<br />
<br />
On 2 September 2015, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and was enthroned King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of ''Angelos II, King of Orfalia'' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Orfalia was created. On 7 October 2015, the government of Orfalia proclaimed His Majesty as Emperor with the title and style of ''His Imperial Majesty Aggelos I, Emperor of Orfalia''.<br> On 21 March 2016 His Majesty assumed the title of ''Basileus'' and upgrade the status of Imvrassia to a Kingdom. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman Empire, that on the same date on 629 Emperor Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title the same title as Aggelos did, although in Imvrassia had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor. On 23 June 2016, he separated the [[Duchy of Argadia]] from Imvrassia and proclaimed it as an independent state with himself as monarch. On 1 July [[2016]], after weeks of negotiation it was decided that the Duchy would join the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 6 October 2016 His Majesty reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 Aggelos abdicate from the throne of Imvrassia and on 1 December 2016 from the throne of Orfalia too.<br />
<br />
===Post-abdication===<br />
After his abdication as King, the Crown appointed His Majesty as Governor of Odrysia (ie a Crown land of Imvrassia) and as Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 11 April 2017 after a Decision of [[Stephen I & II|Stephen]], the Abeldane Emperor, Aggelos appointed as Prince of [[Principality of Stella|Stella]] and on 9 May 2017 after a new Decision of the Abeldane Emperor, was appointed as Prince Regent of Abelden. On 8 August 2017 His Majesty abdicated from the Abelden's offices due to his non-micronational obligations.<br />
<br />
On 6 August 2017, His Majesty founded the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] [[Austenasian Town|Town]] of [[Ionisia]] where he currently resides, further cementing the friendship between Imvrassia and the Empire. The Town of Ionisia was dissolved exactly one year later, but the territory of the former Town, has been made temporarily a self-governorous area and His Majesty assumed the title of the ''Archon of Ionisia'' immediately after the region left the Empire.<br> On 30 November 2018 the Crown according to the new policy of the titles of nobility, awarded him the title of [[w:Nobilissimus|Nobelissimos]].<br> By royal decree on 8 June 2019 he was promoted to the title of [[w:Despotes|Despotes]]. On 25 July 2019 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the then Archontia of Ionisia to a Kingdom and he assumed the title of [[w:Regent|Epitropos]] until the enthronement of the new monarch. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Aggelos as Regent of Imvrassia and at the same day His Majesty has been appointed and Epitropos of Ionisia ( until 26 September 2019, when Ionisia became an Imvrassian Province).<br> On 8 May 2020 the Duchy of Argadia became independent and on 15 May 2020 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the Duchy to a Kingdom and he offer the same day the Argadian crown to the Empress of Imvrassia Aikaterini. The Empress in return appointed him as Head of the government with the title of ''Epi ton Pragmaton'', due to the hellenistic traditions of Argadia. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor.<br />
<br />
===Second reign===<br />
On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos in an effort to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]], and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 16 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos due to the long frienship between Imvrassia and [[Rhōmanía]], appointed as Regent until 27 January 2022 with the title of Antibasileus Sebastokrator because of Emmanuel's temporary absence. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the the rank of Empress and so Emperor Aggelos remain sole monarch. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors, and the official title change to ''Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans''.<br> On 1 January 2022, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Temiria and was enthroned as King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of '''His Majesty Aggelos I, King of Temiria''' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Temiria was created. On 20 March 2022 Temiria with Anvurna, Marenia and Ardamia formed a new State under the name ''Tarevia'' and the Goverment of the new Kingdom on 4 April 2022 offered the Crown to Aggelos as the new King.<br />

'''Aggelos of Imvrassia''' (born 1 September 1981) is the current Emperor of Imvrassia and Head of the Imperial House of Imvrassia. His Majesty has founded [[Imvrassia]] on 11 May 2011 as its sovereign Prince. His Majesty was also Hegemon of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]] until 5 November 2016 and Emperor of [[Orfalia]] until 1 December 2016 when he abdicated. He returned as Emperor of Imvrassia on 25 December 2020 after Empress Aikaterini's decision. Aggelos is considered by his friends that he is one of the most famous [[w:Greece|Greek]] micronationalists.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The name Aggelos comes from Angelos (the one who brings news) and from the verb angelo which means: I bring news, I foretell. In ancient Greece, the term angel characterized someone who transmitted news, information or advertisements. Homer in his works already uses the word in this sense, while Herodotus and Xenophon use it to describe special envoys conveying messages or information. Angels are also used in other tasks, such as making treaties or collecting money. As a divine or transcendental presence, the concept of angel first appears in the person of Hermes, who is addressed as the angel of Persephone by Homer. Also according to Plato the Underworld has its angels, who are called "angels descending". In the Greek alphabet, the name is written as ''Άγγελος Α''' which is properly transliterated as ''Aggelos I''. The letter 'A' after the name identifies the numbering of the Monarch.<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
===First reign===<br />
His Majesty have an active role in the politics of the State, as Head of State and also as a Minister. All the legislative and administrative changes wich have been made, reflects the desire and the willingness of growth and development of Imvrassia into the world of micronations, with elements from the political history of ancient Greece and Rome.<br />
<br />
After a period in which His Majesty devoted himself to the organization and operation of Imvrassia, he began the reorganization in Greece of some inactive Greek states. This resulted in the establishment of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations on 25 November 2013.<br />
<br />
On 2 September 2015, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and was enthroned King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of ''Angelos II, King of Orfalia'' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Orfalia was created. On 7 October 2015, the government of Orfalia proclaimed His Majesty as Emperor with the title and style of ''His Imperial Majesty Aggelos I, Emperor of Orfalia''.<br> On 21 March 2016 His Majesty assumed the title of ''Basileus'' and upgrade the status of Imvrassia to a Kingdom. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman Empire, that on the same date on 629 Emperor Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title the same title as Aggelos did, although in Imvrassia had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor. On 23 June 2016, he separated the [[Duchy of Argadia]] from Imvrassia and proclaimed it as an independent state with himself as monarch. On 1 July [[2016]], after weeks of negotiation it was decided that the Duchy would join the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 6 October 2016 His Majesty reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 Aggelos abdicate from the throne of Imvrassia and on 1 December 2016 from the throne of Orfalia too.<br />
<br />
===Post-abdication===<br />
After his abdication as King, the Crown appointed His Majesty as Governor of Odrysia (ie a Crown land of Imvrassia) and as Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 11 April 2017 after a Decision of [[Stephen I & II|Stephen]], the Abeldane Emperor, Aggelos appointed as Prince of [[Principality of Stella|Stella]] and on 9 May 2017 after a new Decision of the Abeldane Emperor, was appointed as Prince Regent of Abelden. On 8 August 2017 His Majesty abdicated from the Abelden's offices due to his non-micronational obligations.<br />
<br />
On 6 August 2017, His Majesty founded the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] [[Austenasian Town|Town]] of [[Ionisia]] where he currently resides, further cementing the friendship between Imvrassia and the Empire. The Town of Ionisia was dissolved exactly one year later, but the territory of the former Town, has been made temporarily a self-governorous area and His Majesty assumed the title of the ''Archon of Ionisia'' immediately after the region left the Empire.<br> On 30 November 2018 the Crown according to the new policy of the titles of nobility, awarded him the title of [[w:Nobilissimus|Nobelissimos]].<br> By royal decree on 8 June 2019 he was promoted to the title of [[w:Despotes|Despotes]]. On 25 July 2019 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the then Archontia of Ionisia to a Kingdom and he assumed the title of [[w:Regent|Epitropos]] until the enthronement of the new monarch. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Aggelos as Regent of Imvrassia and at the same day His Majesty has been appointed and Epitropos of Ionisia ( until 26 September 2019, when Ionisia became an Imvrassian Province).<br> On 8 May 2020 the Duchy of Argadia became independent and on 15 May 2020 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the Duchy to a Kingdom and he offer the same day the Argadian crown to the Empress of Imvrassia Aikaterini. The Empress in return appointed him as Head of the government with the title of ''Epi ton Pragmaton'', due to the hellenistic traditions of Argadia. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor.<br />
<br />
===Second reign===<br />
On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos in an effort to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]], and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 16 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos due to the long frienship between Imvrassia and [[Rhōmanía]], appointed as Regent until 27 January 2022 with the title of Antibasileus Sebastokrator because of Emmanuel's temporary absence. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the the rank of Empress and so Emperor Aggelos remain sole monarch. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors, and the official title change to ''Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans''.<br> On 1 January 2022, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Temiria and was enthroned as King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of '''His Majesty Aggelos I, King of Temiria''' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Temiria was created. On 20 March 2022 Temiria with Anvurna, Marenia and Ardamia formed a new State under the name ''Tarevia'' and the Goverment of the new Kingdom on 4 April 2022 offered the Crown to Aggelos as the new King.<br />

'''Aggelos of Imvrassia''' (born 1 September 1981) is the current Emperor of Imvrassia and Head of the Imperial House of Imvrassia. His Majesty has founded [[Imvrassia]] on 11 May 2011 as its sovereign Prince. His Majesty was also Hegemon of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]] until 5 November 2016 and Emperor of [[Orfalia]] until 1 December 2016 when he abdicated. He returned as Emperor of Imvrassia on 25 December 2020 after Empress Aikaterini's decision. Aggelos is considered by his friends that he is one of the most famous [[w:Greece|Greek]] micronationalists.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The name Aggelos comes from Angelos (the one who brings news) and from the verb angelo which means: I bring news, I foretell. In ancient Greece, the term angel characterized someone who transmitted news, information or advertisements. Homer in his works already uses the word in this sense, while Herodotus and Xenophon use it to describe special envoys conveying messages or information. Angels are also used in other tasks, such as making treaties or collecting money. As a divine or transcendental presence, the concept of angel first appears in the person of Hermes, who is addressed as the angel of Persephone by Homer. Also according to Plato the Underworld has its angels, who are called "angels descending". In the Greek alphabet, the name is written as ''Άγγελος Α''' which is properly transliterated as ''Aggelos I''. The letter 'A' after the name identifies the numbering of the Monarch.<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
===First reign===<br />
His Majesty have an active role in the politics of the State, as Head of State and also as a Minister. All the legislative and administrative changes wich have been made, reflects the desire and the willingness of growth and development of Imvrassia into the world of micronations, with elements from the political history of ancient Greece and Rome.<br />
<br />
After a period in which His Majesty devoted himself to the organization and operation of Imvrassia, he began the reorganization in Greece of some inactive Greek states. This resulted in the establishment of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations on 25 November 2013.<br />
<br />
On 2 September 2015, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and was enthroned King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of ''Angelos II, King of Orfalia'' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Orfalia was created. On 7 October 2015, the government of Orfalia proclaimed His Majesty as Emperor with the title and style of ''His Imperial Majesty Aggelos I, Emperor of Orfalia''.<br> On 21 March 2016 His Majesty assumed the title of ''Basileus'' and upgrade the status of Imvrassia to a Kingdom. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman Empire, that on the same date on 629 Emperor Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title the same title as Aggelos did, although in Imvrassia had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor. On 23 June 2016, he separated the [[Duchy of Argadia]] from Imvrassia and proclaimed it as an independent state with himself as monarch. On 1 July [[2016]], after weeks of negotiation it was decided that the Duchy would join the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 6 October 2016 His Majesty reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 Aggelos abdicate from the throne of Imvrassia and on 1 December 2016 from the throne of Orfalia too.<br />
<br />
===Post-abdication===<br />
After his abdication as King, the Crown appointed His Majesty as Governor of Odrysia (ie a Crown land of Imvrassia) and as Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 11 April 2017 after a Decision of [[Stephen I & II|Stephen]], the Abeldane Emperor, Aggelos appointed as Prince of [[Principality of Stella|Stella]] and on 9 May 2017 after a new Decision of the Abeldane Emperor, was appointed as Prince Regent of Abelden. On 8 August 2017 His Majesty abdicated from the Abelden's offices due to his non-micronational obligations.<br />
<br />
On 6 August 2017, His Majesty founded the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] [[Austenasian Town|Town]] of [[Ionisia]] where he currently resides, further cementing the friendship between Imvrassia and the Empire. The Town of Ionisia was dissolved exactly one year later, but the territory of the former Town, has been made temporarily a self-governorous area and His Majesty assumed the title of the ''Archon of Ionisia'' immediately after the region left the Empire.<br> On 30 November 2018 the Crown according to the new policy of the titles of nobility, awarded him the title of [[w:Nobilissimus|Nobelissimos]].<br> By royal decree on 8 June 2019 he was promoted to the title of [[w:Despotes|Despotes]]. On 25 July 2019 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the then Archontia of Ionisia to a Kingdom and he assumed the title of [[w:Regent|Epitropos]] until the enthronement of the new monarch. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Aggelos as Regent of Imvrassia and at the same day His Majesty has been appointed and Epitropos of Ionisia ( until 26 September 2019, when Ionisia became an Imvrassian Province).<br> On 8 May 2020 the Duchy of Argadia became independent and on 15 May 2020 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the Duchy to a Kingdom and he offer the same day the Argadian crown to the Empress of Imvrassia Aikaterini. The Empress in return appointed him as Head of the government with the title of ''Epi ton Pragmaton'', due to the hellenistic traditions of Argadia. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor.<br />
<br />
===Second reign===<br />
On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos in an effort to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]], and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 16 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos due to the long frienship between Imvrassia and [[Rhōmanía]], appointed as Regent until 27 January 2022 with the title of Antibasileus Sebastokrator because of Emmanuel's temporary absence. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the the rank of Empress and so Emperor Aggelos remain sole monarch. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors, and the official title change to ''Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans''.<br> On 1 January 2022, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Temiria and was enthroned as King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of '''His Majesty Aggelos I, King of Temiria''' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Temiria was created. On 20 March 2022 Temiria with Anvurna, Marenia and Ardamia formed a new State under the name ''Tarevia'' and the Goverment of the new Kingdom on 4 April 2022 offered the Crown to Aggelos as the new King.<br />

==Name==<br />
The name Aggelos comes from Angelos (the one who brings news) and from the verb angelo which means: I bring news, I foretell. In ancient Greece, the term angel characterized someone who transmitted news, information or advertisements. Homer in his works already uses the word in this sense, while Herodotus and Xenophon use it to describe special envoys conveying messages or information. Angels are also used in other tasks, such as making treaties or collecting money. As a divine or transcendental presence, the concept of angel first appears in the person of Hermes, who is addressed as the angel of Persephone by Homer. Also according to Plato the Underworld has its angels, who are called "angels descending". In the Greek alphabet, the name is written as ''Άγγελος Α''' which is properly transliterated as ''Aggelos I''. The letter 'A' after the name identifies the numbering of the Monarch.<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
===First reign===<br />
His Majesty have an active role in the politics of the State, as Head of State and also as a Minister. All the legislative and administrative changes wich have been made, reflects the desire and the willingness of growth and development of Imvrassia into the world of micronations, with elements from the political history of ancient Greece and Rome.<br />
<br />
After a period in which His Majesty devoted himself to the organization and operation of Imvrassia, he began the reorganization in Greece of some inactive Greek states. This resulted in the establishment of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations on 25 November 2013.<br />
<br />
On 2 September 2015, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Orfalia and was enthroned King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of ''Angelos II, King of Orfalia'' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Orfalia was created. On 7 October 2015, the government of Orfalia proclaimed His Majesty as Emperor with the title and style of ''His Imperial Majesty Aggelos I, Emperor of Orfalia''.<br> On 21 March 2016 His Majesty assumed the title of ''Basileus'' and upgrade the status of Imvrassia to a Kingdom. This date was chosen to commemorate another political act of the Roman Empire, that on the same date on 629 Emperor Heraclius adopted for the monarch's official title the same title as Aggelos did, although in Imvrassia had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor. On 23 June 2016, he separated the [[Duchy of Argadia]] from Imvrassia and proclaimed it as an independent state with himself as monarch. On 1 July [[2016]], after weeks of negotiation it was decided that the Duchy would join the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. On 6 October 2016 His Majesty reorganized the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations to a League of Hellenistic Micronations and remained head of the organization with the title of Hegemon. On 5 November 2016 Aggelos abdicate from the throne of Imvrassia and on 1 December 2016 from the throne of Orfalia too.<br />
<br />
===Post-abdication===<br />
After his abdication as King, the Crown appointed His Majesty as Governor of Odrysia (ie a Crown land of Imvrassia) and as Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 11 April 2017 after a Decision of [[Stephen I & II|Stephen]], the Abeldane Emperor, Aggelos appointed as Prince of [[Principality of Stella|Stella]] and on 9 May 2017 after a new Decision of the Abeldane Emperor, was appointed as Prince Regent of Abelden. On 8 August 2017 His Majesty abdicated from the Abelden's offices due to his non-micronational obligations.<br />
<br />
On 6 August 2017, His Majesty founded the [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] [[Austenasian Town|Town]] of [[Ionisia]] where he currently resides, further cementing the friendship between Imvrassia and the Empire. The Town of Ionisia was dissolved exactly one year later, but the territory of the former Town, has been made temporarily a self-governorous area and His Majesty assumed the title of the ''Archon of Ionisia'' immediately after the region left the Empire.<br> On 30 November 2018 the Crown according to the new policy of the titles of nobility, awarded him the title of [[w:Nobilissimus|Nobelissimos]].<br> By royal decree on 8 June 2019 he was promoted to the title of [[w:Despotes|Despotes]]. On 25 July 2019 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the then Archontia of Ionisia to a Kingdom and he assumed the title of [[w:Regent|Epitropos]] until the enthronement of the new monarch. On 7 September 2019 Queen Aikaterini because of her non - micronational obligations, appointed Aggelos as Regent of Imvrassia and at the same day His Majesty has been appointed and Epitropos of Ionisia ( until 26 September 2019, when Ionisia became an Imvrassian Province).<br> On 8 May 2020 the Duchy of Argadia became independent and on 15 May 2020 His Majesty declared the upgrade of the Duchy to a Kingdom and he offer the same day the Argadian crown to the Empress of Imvrassia Aikaterini. The Empress in return appointed him as Head of the government with the title of ''Epi ton Pragmaton'', due to the hellenistic traditions of Argadia. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor.<br />
<br />
===Second reign===<br />
On 25 December 2020, the Empress within the framework of the co - reign, proclaimed Aggelos as joint Emperor, to rule alongside to her.<br> On 9 January 2021, an imperial degree was issued by Emperor Aggelos in an effort to honor the Roman Emperor [[w:John III Doukas Vatatzes|John III]], and thus naming the reigning house of Imvrassia as the '''[[House of Vatazides]]'''. On 16 March 2021 Emperor Aggelos due to the long frienship between Imvrassia and [[Rhōmanía]], appointed as Regent until 27 January 2022 with the title of Antibasileus Sebastokrator because of Emmanuel's temporary absence. On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini honorably revoked from the the rank of Empress and so Emperor Aggelos remain sole monarch. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors, and the official title change to ''Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans''.<br> On 1 January 2022, His Majesty accepted the offer of the Crown of Temiria and was enthroned as King. At his new office he assumed the constitutional name of '''His Majesty Aggelos I, King of Temiria''' and a personal union between Imvrassia and Temiria was created. On 20 March 2022 Temiria with Anvurna, Marenia and Ardamia formed a new State under the name ''Tarevia'' and the Goverment of the new Kingdom on 4 April 2022 offered the Crown to Aggelos as the new King.<br />

'''Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Ιμβρασία), officially the '''Empire of Imvrassia''' ([[w:Greek language|Greek]]: Βασιλεία της Ιμβρασίας, [[w:Latin language|Latin]]: ''Imperium Imvrassiae''), is a micronational polity with territorial holdings in [[w:Greece|Greece]], [[w:Iberian_Peninsula|Iberia]], [[w:Germany|Germany]], and [[w:Australia|Australia]]. Founded in 2011 by Emperor Aggelos I as a principality, Imvrassia is now formed as a unitary and constitutional monarchy and is a founding member of the [[League of Hellenistic Micronations]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
With inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history, the foundation and independence of Imvrassia was proclaimed on 11 May 2011 by the first monarch and Head of State, [[Aggelos I of Imvrassia]]. On this day, the declaration of independence of Imvrassia was published and announced the establishment of the new state, which was organized as a Principality. Five days later, the Prince gave and enacted the first constitution of Imvrassia, establishing the constitutional monarchy as a political system of governance.<br />
<br />
===Principality Era 2011-2016===<br />
<br />
In the first year of the state's existence, efforts for diplomatic recognition began, and this resulted in the conclusion of a treaty of friendship with the Kingdom of Ruthenia on 4 August 2011 and Imvrassia's membership to the OAM until the end of the year.<br> On 7 March 2012, the Government of Imvrassia proceeded to reorganize the Heptarchy of New Herakleia, an inactive Hellenic micronation in [[w:Chalkidiki|Chalkidiki]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], proclaiming the creation of a new state, under the rule of the Prince of Imvrassia. Also in this year, on 11 December, Imvrassia put under protectorate status an another inactive Hellenic micronation, the Despotate of New Mystras.<br> The personal union with the Heptarchy of New Herakleia ended on 12 January 2013 with the Prince's resignation from his position as Head of State. The Imvrassian Government from 1 May 2013, had set together with Mouzilo, under a protectorate status the then Empire of Thrace (from 7 October 2015 has been a Despotate), an inactive micronation with claims in the Eastern Balkan Peninsula. On 28 June 2013 Prince Aggelos founded a new micronation, the Principality of Koumaradia and on its throne placed his oldest child, Princess Aikaterini. This micronation finally abolished on 4 October 2013 and its territories reintegrated in Imvrassia. As a culmination of diplomatic activity of Imvrassia, was founded on 25 November 2013 the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations, with the Imvrassian Monarch assuming the leadership of the Commonwealth. From 15 December 2013 until 19 June 2016 Imvrassia was the only independent Hellenic micronation, after the accession of Mouzilo into the Ashukov Federation and the foundation of the Principality of Doriea.<br> Since early October 2015, was beginning to develop a separatist movement in the province of Koumaradia which has the support of some members of the Princely House. This has the effect of granting full autonomy to the region by the Crown and the creation of an autonomous state. The autonomy continues until 16 September 2016 when the region becomes an Imvrassian Province again.<br />
<br />
===Kingdom Era 2016-2019===<br />
<br />
On 21 March 2016 after a period of five years of activity and existence, Imvrassia proceeded to upgrade its status to a kingdom. The Hellenistic and of course the Roman influence on the principles of the state played an important role in this movement and so Prince Aggelos assumed the title of King. In May 2016, Imvrassia greatly expanded with the annexation of Eleftheria, located in the United States.

<br />
==Politics==<br />
<br />
===Political History===<br />
<br />
The political history of Imvrassia until now is divided into three periods. The first period began with the establishment of the State in May 2011 and ending in October 2013, when it was transformed from a unitary into a federal state. The second season began on 5 October 2013 and lasted until 31 January 2016, when the Prince suspended the operation of the Constitution and the repeal of the federal structure of the state. The third period began on 31 January 2016 and continues.<br />
====Unitary State 2011-2013====<br />
<br />
The first Constitution of Imvrassia was published and came into force on 16 May 2011 and a year later, on 31 May 2012, took place the first revision of the constitution. At this time, the Head of Government was the Minister of State and two governments were formed. The first government lasted from 16 May 2011 to 31 May 2012, led by Marquise Kleio. The second government, led by Princess Aikaterini, lasted from 31 May 2012 to 31 August 2012 and from 10 December 2012 to 15 January 2013. At the period from 31 August 2012 until 10 December 2012, the office of the Minister of State had been temporarily removed. On 15 January 2013, the Prince issued a series of decrees, partly revised the constitution and gathered all the executive power in his hands and the office of the Minister of State had been removed once again.<br />
<br />
The administrative division of the State, at this period, includes as a single administrative unit the ''Duchy'', which is governed by an official with the title of Governor.<br />
<br />
====Federal State 2013-2016====<br />
<br />
A new chapter began in the history of Imvrassia on 5 October 2013 when the Prince suggested a federal structure for the state and Imvrassia was organized as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy. The purpose of this constitutional change was to associate the monarchy with democracy, with a view to promoting more interest of the citizens on the political life of the country. Since then has been formed three governments. The first government was led by Princess Aikaterini as Federal Prime Minister, from 5 October 2013 until 20 May 2014. The second government was led by the then Grand Duke Stamatios (promotion to Magistros on 3 October 2015) as Federal Prime Minister from 20 May 2014 until 21 November 2015. The third government has formed on 21 November 2015 by Zoste Patrikia Panagiota until 1 January 2018. On 1 December 2015, after the proposal of Prince Aggelos, Imvrassia adopted the institution of co-reign. This institution has its origin in Hellenistic and Roman times, and came into force upon the proclamation of Caesar Stamatios at the office of Co - Prince of Imvrassia with the official address of ''His Highness the Co-Prince of Imvrassia, Stamatios I.'' This new office was been created in order to assist in the tasks of the Prince and his mandate lasts as long as desired by the Prince. The Constitution of Imvrassia was suspended on 31 January 2016 by the Prince. At the same day, the federal structure of the state was also cancelled and the co-Prince was dismissed from his duties. <br />
<br />
During this period the State is divided into princely and federal territories. In the princely territories there is the ''Duchy'' as an administrative unit headed by a Duke, while in the federal territories the ''Grand Duchy'' is headed by a Governor General. The federal territories of the state on 4 July 2015 acquire the name of the Province instead of the Grand Duchy that they had until then.<br />
<br />
====Unitary State 2016-====<br />
<br />
The Imvrassia became a unitary state again on 31 January 2016, following a decision of the Prince to abolish the federal structure of the state. At the same time, he has suspended the operation of the Constitution and began to rule as an absolute monarch. On 3 February 2016 the Prince granted a new constitution and so Imvrassia returned into constitutional governance again as a [[constitutional monarchy]] and in addition, the institution of co-reign was maintained in the new constitution. On 21 March 2016 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of a Kingdom after the decision of Prince Aggelos to assumed the title of King.

On 19 August 2018 Queen Aikaterini abdicate from the throne and so King Stamatios remain sole monarch.

On 1 November 2019, the Queen returned briefly to her duties and decided to share the throne with her grandfather, Magistros Stamatios, whom he proclaimed King. It was followed a Regent's decision, according to which Queen Aikaterini and King Stamatios were named ''Titular Kings'' without real power, retaining only the royal title. On 26 November 2019 Marquise Aikaterini (promotion to Grand Marquise on 27 February 2020 and new promotion to Pansebaste on 24 September 2020) has been appointed as Mesazon and has formed a new Government.<br> On 1 January 2020 Imvrassia proclaimed to the status of an Empire after the decision of Despotes Aggelos to proclaim the Imvrassian Kings as Emperors, due to the Roman heritage of the State. On 4 May 2020, the Regency expired with the return of the Emperors on their duties, even though the co-Emperor Stamatios is purely honorary and not full-fledged co-emperor. On 3 November 2020 Imvrassia refresh state symbols with the adoption of a new flag, new standard and new arms for the emperors and a new coat of arms for the State. On 21 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Despotes Aggelos promoted to junior co-emperor as a result of the changes decided by the Crown. On 24 December 2020 by Imperial Degree, Emperor Stamatios in the context of the changes of the Imvrassian Monarchy, honorably revoked from the rank of Emperor to junior co-emperor, maintained his honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities.

On 18 March 2021 Empress Aikaterini, honorably revoked from the rank of Empress to junior co-empress, maintained her honorary imperial status and the rights to the succession to the throne but without executive powers and responsibilities. On 15 June 2021 an Imperial decree was issued dismissing the Government, and all its responsibilities came under the responsibility of the Crown until further notice. On 1 August 2021 was issued a decision of the Privy Council , concerning the members of the Ruling House and decided for them not to take government positions but to assist the Crown in administrative matters in the provincial administration. According to this decision, the two co-emperors took under their jurisdiction from a Praetorian Prefecture, Aikaterini, the Praetorian Prefecture of Elladia and Stamatios the Praetorian Prefecture of the East.<br> On 1 January 2022 by Imperial Degree a new unit of the Imperial Guard founded, that of ''Excubitors''.

On 5 September 2022 Sebastokrator Daniel has been appointed as Mesazon, ie Head of the Government ending a period where the Crown has exercised unlimited executive power since June of the previous year.<br><br />
The administrative division of the State at this time is very rich, as they have received many changes due to political developments. The lands of the Crown on 20 July 2018 changed their name from ''Duchy'' to ''Despotate'' and each of them was governed by a member of the Ruling Dynasty with the title of Governor. The rest lands of the State until the Empire's proclamation had variant names, such as ''Province'', ''Autonomous State'', ''Palatine County'' and ''Exarchate''. On 1 January 2020 the ''Praetorian Prefecture'' was adopted as the main administrative division of the State. It includes the ''Provinces'', the ''Exarchates'' and the ''Despotates'' as subdivisions, while the extent of each Praetorian Prefecture is determined by political and/or geographical criteria. On 27 December 2020, the lands of the Crown as separate administrative unit of the State were abolished and the administrative division of the State limited to the ''Provinces'' and the ''Exarchates'' (within the Praetorian Prefectures). On 22 May 2021 after a small revision of the Constitution the subdivision of the ''Despotate'' returned as an administrative unit of the State for appanages for cadet branches of the imperial House (similar to the dignity and the area of a Province). On 21 January 2022 a new administrative division has created, the ''Hegemony'', in order to attract new autonomous states within the Empire. The status of a Hegemony is able to be received by former imperial states or kingdoms with low activity and they may have hellenistic or roman influences and so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. On 20 February 2023 a new administrative division has created, the Politeia, in order to attract new autonomous state's within the Empire. The status of a Politeia is able to be recevied by former republics with low activity, and they may have hellenistic or roman influences, so they can join into the Empire with full internal autonomy. <br> After an Imperial Degree on 20 February 2024 the former institution of the Exarchate became active again and has the same characteristics as the other autonomous parts of the Empire and furthermore is considered to be in the status of precedence directly below the Praetorian Prefecture.<br />
<br />
====State Ideology====<br />
<br />
For the official title of the Monarch the Crown has chosen the title of '''Prince''' in the Roman sense of the first citizen '''Princeps Civitatis''' and on 9 November 2015 becomes '''Prince and Despot of Imvrassia''' emphasizing the Roman cultural tradition. After the upgrading of the state status to be a Kingdom, the Monarch's title change to '''Basileus of Imvrassia''', a title from ancient Greek history for the Sovereign, although it had the meaning of the King and not the Emperor according to Roman terminology as established from 629 onwards. After the proclamation of the Εmpire, the Monarch's official title changed to '''[[w:Byzantine_bureaucracy_and_aristocracy#Titles_used_by_the_emperors|Basileus Autokrator]] of Imvrassia''', a combination of the titles of ''Basileus'' and ''Autokrator'', which mean the ''Emperor'' and the ''one who rules by himself'', respectively. The new Monarch's title reserved for the sole or the senior emperor, if there are any other co-emperors (συμβασιλείς, symbasileis) and denoted the person who has substantive political power. Furthermore for a male monarch was added the formula of ''Perpetuus Augustus'' and for a female the formula of ''Most Pious Augusta''. The imperial status of Imvrassia, is the result of a strong Roman heritage on the political life, the activity of the State mainly in the old Roman East and due to the official policy that considered Imvrassia as ''de jure'' successor of the Roman Empire.<br>From 1 December 2015 Imvrassia has adopted the institution of co - reign, an institution originating from the Hellenistic and Roman times and the monarch is capable to appoint a member of the Imperial House as his deputy to assist him in the management of the state. This has resulted that the then Caesar Stamatios as the only high-ranking official, became on 1 December 2015 until 31 January 2016 co-Prince and later on 1 April 2016 became co-King, but he was served as deputy head of state rather than as co-ruler.<br> From 20 August until 5 November 2016 and from 14 January 2017 until 19 August 2018 Imvrassia was a Diarchy, ie there exist two Monarchs equal to their position. From 1 November 2019 until 18 March 2021 Imvrassia became again a Diarchy, but the Monarchs had no real power for the benefit of an active regency from 1 November 2019 until 4 May 2020. However, with the appointment of junior co-Emperors, the institution took the form of collective leadership and come closer to the Roman way of the [[w:Consortium imperii|Consortium imperii]] denoting the sharing of imperial authority between a senior emperor and one or more co-emperors.<br> Also on 23 October 2020 the Imvrassian Monarchy after a Treaty signed with Austenasia, Holy Roman Empire and Adammia, gained equal status within the states with Roman political tradition and the recognition of the full imperial rank of the Imvrassian monarch as '''[[w:Augustus|Augustus]]'''. On 20 March 2021, an Imperial Decree of HM Emperor Aggelos I was issued. This Decree adopted as an official stance and policy of the Imvrassian Government the view that the Imvrassian Monarch was through [[w:translatio imperii|translatio imperii]] the legitimate successor in dignity of the Eastern Roman Emperors. This led to the change of the official title to the form '''[[w:Basileus|Faithful Imvrassian Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans]]''' while the previus official form of Basileus Autokrator became the simple.<br />
