The '''Revolutionary Council of Kozuc''' was the [[Transitional Authority of Kozuc|transitional government]] installed after the [[History of Kozuc#Nationalist Revolution|Nationalist Revolution]] in December of [[2015]]. They held complete control until the creation of the [[Commonwealth of Kozuc]], which was formed in the beginning of [[2016]]. The Council served as a legislative, executive and judicial body, with the [[President of Kozuc|President]] as Chairman. Only members of the [[Kozuc National Party]] were permitted to be members of the Council, generally all of them as military officers.<br />
<br />
==Commissions==<br />
There were two Commissions within the Revolutionary Council: the Justice and Security Commission and the Defense Commission. Within each of these were Secretaries, Directors and other officers of the government. The Defense Commission served over basically all of the executive functions of the government, with the Justice and Security Commission generally responsible for law enforcement and judicial policies. The Justice and Security Commission was the only court within the Republic during this time, as a sort of military tribunal. <br />
<br />
==Secretary General==<br />
Sometimes referred to as a de facto "Head of Government, the Secretary General was in political status they equivalent to a Minister without portfolio. He served as the head of political policy for the [[Kozuc National Party]] and chief legal representative for the government. The Secretary General had the ability to oversee all activities of the government, but was a member of neither Commission. The office was considered that directly bellow an office of a Commission, but above all other Secretaries, Directors and officers within the council. In practice, the Secretary General mainly did tasks at the President's discretion and took Council minutes.<br />

The '''Republic of Kozuc''', known by many different names during past carnations, is a [[w:English language|English-speaking]] [[Micronation|micronation]] located in a region which is surrounded by [[w:Monterey|Monterey County]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as an independent state, a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]] of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and a [[Free State of Renasia#Regions|Special Administrative Region]] of the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Occasionally, cultural practices of Kozuc have been brought into controversy by some, particularly drug legalization and the prominence of the [[Kozuc National Armed Services|Armed Services]].<br />
<br />
Kozuc was first officially created February 1st, [[2010]] as the as the [[History of Kozuc#UPUC Era|United Provinces Under Chance]]. The nation has gone through many political changes and fluxes of activity since it was founded. The [[History of Kozuc#Nationalist Revolution|Nationalist Revolution]] of December, [[2015]] installed a transitional [[Military dictatorship|military dictatorship]], currently governed by the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Revolutionary Council]], [[President of Kozuc|President]] [[Riley Small]] and the [[Kozuc National Party]]. The government prides itself in having one of the most advanced military and security forces in the Community, a strong economy and an active political system. <br />
<br />
This page refers to the most recent "Republic of Kozuc". For past governments that used the same name, please refer to the [[History of Kozuc]]. Previous Republics have been both democratic and pseudo-dictatorships; this article regards the transitional government put in place after the Nationalist Revolution. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
The name "Kozuc" originated as an acronym that was commonly used during the micronation's second government, the [[History of Kozuc#Zurdon and Atlantis Era|Kingdom of Zurdonia]]. Kozuc replaced "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", and was initially used as military nomenclature distinguishing friendly troops from combatants. The use of "Under Chance" refers to [[Chance Anderson]], former King and leader during the first eras of Kozuc's history. The government officially used the word Kozuc when the first Republic of Kozuc was founded and Zurdonia collapsed. "Kozuc" has been used for a majority of the micronation's existence. <br />
<br />
Other state and private entities find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital city, was named after the former Overlord when it was formed as a "municipality" in [[2011]]. [[Anderson Arms]], security contracting/private military company, is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the term Kozuc is no longer used as an acronym. Anderson has since left micronationalism, but is remembered as one of the founders of the state, the first [[President of Kozuc#Prior to Revival|President]] and a "[[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]]".<br />
<br />
Although often misspoken, "Kozuc" is officially pronounced /kôzək/ or "kaw-zukh". The adjective form and demonym are also "Kozuc". Only under specific circumstances is the name ever altered. For example, the Kozo-Kozuc Treaty was signed when East and West Kozuc were seperated. The name does not find its roots in other languages, as it was originally an acronym. Zurdonia, the former micronation which dissolved into Kozuc, had a completely fictitious name with no alternate meanings.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history plagued with governmental instability, fluctuating activity and military conflicts. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of falsifying its population and fabricating events. After being disowned by the MicroWiki community, the nation dissolved. The Kingdom of Zurdonia was founded but quickly disbanded. Then, the first Republic of Kozuc began a transition towards factual information, yet dissolved due to political instability. The second Republic lead by [[Liam Barnard]] was the first completely "realistic" carnation of Kozuc, but again failed when [[Chance Anderson]] lead a revolution. Former Vice President [[Riley Small]] took power with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the state, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online government run by other micronationalists. This too would soon go into inactivity. <br />
<br />
Small moved to join [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie|Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen and did not intend to establish another Kozuc. Small had a successful career as an ambassdor for the Federal Republic, but exited when another local micronation was created. The People's Republic of Skendal (West Kozuc), and the fourth Kozuc Republic (East Kozuc), were formed and existed in cooperation for many months. Due to a change is schools by President Small, Kozuc experienced immense growth and activity. However, with Kozuc's Operation Jdub across the nation of Skendal, lead to their unification. An Empire was founded, but regardless of the military's attempts to maintain order, Skendal continued to push for sovereignty.<br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Eastern government reformed into the fifth Republic. Once Skendal left the union, Kozuc joined St.Charlie as a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]]. In mid-[[2012]] the government of Kozuc left the Federal Republic, and purged a large amount of citizens in preparation for another school move by Riley Small. Kozuc went through government transitions, conflicts with neighboring states, and periods of instability. The nation joined [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region, and nearly withdrew totally from international affairs. When then President Small was sentenced to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting President Rutger Sperry announced that Kozuc would be disbanded.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and Skendal, forming a new state. In July, the constitution for the Republic of Kozuc was approved by a referendum. Because of a deadlock between the former Socailist Party and Nationals, no laws were passed for six months. Although the government became inactive, the military reestablished dominance and the economy flourished. By December, President Small lead the Kozuc Nationalist Revolution, installing the current transitional military dictatorship. <br />
<br />
==Controversies==<br />
<br />
Kozuc has been the center of many legal and economic controversies throughout its history. In its first year, the United Provinces Under Chance was completely fictional, and raised concerns on its legitimacy. Later, Kozuc and its citizens would generate the reputation of being criminals, specifically in regards to drugs. Some international entities even sanctioned the state as a sponsor of these crimes, citing it was a safe haven for dealers and addicts. The government has never itself condoned the use or distribution of narcotics, however all classically controlled substances are legal within its borders. Another Kozuc activity which raised concerns was its infatuation with the military. However, it is well understood that the Armed Services is largely cultural.<br />
<br />
In October of 2015, the Socialist Party had called for the resignation of then parliamentary Opposition Leader, Spencer Morris, as he was serving jail time in the United States. President Small has stood by him, as he "never broke a Kozuc law". Small himself served a total of 19 months, sentenced four individual times as a juvenile. Now, Morris has left the agriculture industry to focus on politics, and continues to serve as the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Secretary General|Secretary General]] and all associated roles.<br />
<br />
Some think that the recent revolution was done so by the President either to gain power or to extract wealth from the National Reserve. Socialists also argue he is creating a military oligarchy in the name of stability. Regardless, nearly every remaining citizen in Kozuc supports the revolution. According to the Revolutionary Council, the government is meant to be a transitional system. However, it has not been made public that any plans to change have been made.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
<br />
The Kozuc population has been constantly changing throughout its history, with multiple citizenship purges and simple immigration process. All current citizens reside in the [[w:United States of America|American]] state of [[w:California|California]]. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized by the government. To be a citizen, one must join the [[Kozuc National Party]]. There are many more liberal members of the nation, but a vast majority supports the KNP government. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a part Caucasian. There is a small population of Latin-Kozucs and it is a much smaller percentage than Latinos in the surrounding [[w:Monterey, California|Monterey County]]. Current literacy rates are at perfect levels, and economic status is above United States average. <br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is a capitalist liberal populous. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is challenged by a macronational court or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it was seen as a "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance both within its borders and in regards to exports. All of this business, called the "agriculture" industry, is done so by private individuals. It is known that [[White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The [[Kozuc National Armed Services]] serves as both a symbolic and practical defense force for the micronation. Military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]], a movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the revolution. Although there are no compulsory taxes, it is custom for licensed corporations to make donations into the Kozuc National Bank so that the money can be used for loans and even some government services. <br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
<br />
Kozuc is one of the few micronations with an active economy which generates government revenue. Ever since the [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Golden Age]] of Kozuc, the export and trade of "agriculture" has been the largest commodity in the region. Almost all of the [[w:Gross Domestic Product|Gross Domestic Product]] is estimated to be directly agriculture or related to the agriculture business in some way. Since the nationalist's Revolution, Kozuc News is a state agency and the Kozuc National Bank was created by a merger of the Treasury and the National Reserve. All corporations must seek a license by joining the Kozuc Chamber of Commerce, a division of the Department of Fiance and Development. The Chamber was formed by what is known as the Market and Union Act (MUA), which reformed the local economy in December 2015.<br />
<br />
Also in the Chamber of Commerce are representatives from each of the licensed trade non-profits, which includes trade unions and political parties. Before the MUA, Kozuc had a corrupt economy due to lacking oversight and government intervention. SmallCorp, a company that now only works as an Agriculture Distribution Company, had nearly a total monopoly on all business and owned 90% of all the licensed companies. After the revolution, the conglomerate was broken up. <br />
<br />
Up until the middle of 2012, private business was illegal in the nation, because of strict socialist leadership. While a [[St.Charlian Federation]], the first process to create a company was put into place by the local assembly. The first company to be granted a license and the oldest corporation to still operate is [[Anderson Arms]]. Anderson Arms is was initially only a weapons development company, but has since been granted special status as a private military company (PMC). The corporation has special regulations and responsibilities under the "Anderson Act". <br />
<br />
==Government & Politics==<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
The Republic of Kozuc has had many government forms in its history as a micronation. After its revival in July 2015, a popular referendum installed a multi-party semi-presidential republic against a proposal for a socialist state. Currently, as of the December Revolution, a coup has been initiated by the President to install a "temporary and transitional government". It is unclear how long they will remain in power. <br />
<br />
As of December of that same year, the current government was put in power by a military coup. The [[President of Kozuc]] has been granted extraordinary power because of the revolution, with all other positions subordinate to him. The [[Kozuc National Armed Services]] rules the nation, with the President as Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal, head of state and government. Currently, the only requirement for a document to become law is a Presidential signature, effectively creating a [[w:Rule by decree|"Rule by Decree"]] system.<br />
<br />
There is a single, supreme entity that governs Kozuc, known as the Revolutionary Council. There are no separation of powers in the Republic, with the body serving similarly to a Council of Ministers, but also retains a judicial body and pseudo-legislative power. In addition to all these roles, the [[Kozuc National Party]] is run by the Revolutionary Council, being formed by out of their former Party Convention. Officially, the title of the head of state is the "President of the Republic, Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and Field Marshal of ''his'' National Armed Services". The military is involved in nearly every agency of the government.<br />
<br />
There are five grades of membership within the Revolutionary Council: Chairman, [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissiones|Commissioners]], [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Secretary General|Secretary General]], Secretaries and Directors. The Revolutionary Council is split into two "Commissions", both under the direct authority of the President or "Chairman". The [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Justice and Security Commission]] and the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Defense Commission]] each are headed by their respective Commissioner. Furthermore, the "Secretary General" is the chief political officer of the Kozuc National Party and is the head of all the independent offices (IO) of the government: IO of the Attorney General, IO of Party Policy, IO of the Inspector General and IO of Finance and Budget (which includes the Kozuc National Bank).<br />
<br />
The Commissions are comprised of many different Secretaries and Directors, with the Secretary General observes both of the Commissions but is not a member of either. Currently, all of the members of the government are both members of the Kozuc National Party and the National Armed Services. The Justice and Security Commission serves as the sole and supreme court of the Republic as a type of military tribunal. There are only three members of this Commission, as opposed to the Defense Commission which has most of the departments. Finally, the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF) serves as the equivalent of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in most nations.<br />
<br />
The government could be considered a dominant party state currently, because the Kozuc Nationals organized the revolution. However, the Democratic Socialist Party is involved in talks regarding the future for the nation.<br />
<br />
==Subdivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into two Districts and twp Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a registered population and a Governor, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government, which appoints a local Commander for each of the territories. Typically, territories have been used for defense training and operation, as well as economic ventures by private companies who lease the land from the government. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]]''<br />
<br />
There are two Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local Governor who serves as the governor, commander of local armed services and gubernatorial chief executive. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. Formerly, as designed by the constitution of July 2015, Districts were able to form local legislatures. However, under the new government which suspended the constitution, law making can only be done at the federal level, with the Governor responsible for enforcing national policies. <br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest District by population but smaller in area. Due to the coup of December and the reforms instituted, Kozuc's land claims have been consolidated. San Chance consists of the Presidential Palace and the home of the President's cousin, located directly across the street. Bakaria, however, is only the residence of the current Governor and a lot of forest land next to it. Zendel, the former capital of Skendal, a region in Utah formerly claimed by the government, has been ceded back to America as of the December coup. Currently, General Emmett Small serves as Governnor of San Chance and Commandant Caleb Baker as Bakaria's Governor.<br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]]''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Revolutionary Council. The President appoints a military representative to manage all operations, the Commander. Currently, there is a single territory located on public lands claimed also by the United States. White Mountain has been one of the classic claims of the Kozuc government throughout its history, and formerly a disputed region with the former micronations of Skendal and Frexico. The current Commander for the region is Colonel Kyle Bryan.<br />
<br />
White Mountain "proper" is currently split into five "Sectors", denoted by Roman numerals I through V, which serve as simply organizational distinctions. Up until December 2015, the Bourland Territory was also itself a territory, however was merged into White Mountain as Sectors Yankee and Zulu, which are considered "sub-White Mountain". In December, the government enacted imminent domain over all of the territory, and stripped any private persons from owning land in any of White Mountain or now sub-White Mountain. This caused unrest with many former Skendal citizens who plotted properties in the former Bourland Territory when it was a part of their independent micronation in 2012. <br />
<br />
The now soul Territory, White Mountain, is used for military operations and training. Regions are leased to private companies at discretion of the federal government in agreements known as "Insular Usage Contracts". There are three approved Insular Usage Contracts, for Anderson Arms, SmallCorp Distribution and MattoxCo Distribution. Anderson Arms' agreement is included in the greater Anderson Decree 2015, granting it permission to utilize any part of the Territory. SmallCorp Distribution is currently limited to Sectors III and V, and MattoxCo to Sector IV. The military is not responsible for the employees of any of these corporations.<br />
<br />
==Armed Services==<br />
''For more information, see - [[Kozuc National Armed Services]]''<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Services (informally the Armed Forces or Uniformed Services), abbreviated as K-NAS, are the combination of executive offices, agencies and other entities responsible for defense, security or justice. Under the military lead Revolutionary Council, all of them are a part of the "Kozuc Revolutionary Armed Forces", and there is no civilian police force. The Revolutionary Guard is the primary branch given the duty of enforcing Kozuc laws. Both of the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Commissions]] have multiple armed entities all of which both have been granted the powers as defense and police forces. <br />
<br />
There are two main officials responsible for the command of these personnel, the Security and Justice Commissioner and the Defense Commissioner. Every department is under one of these Commissions, excluding some independent bureaus (Attorney General's Office, etc.), both civilian and military. Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF).<br />
<br />
===Defense Forces===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Defense Commission]]''<br />
<br />
There are multiple branches and agencies responsible for the Armed Services of Kozuc, but the Defense Commission maintains what is often called the military. This includes the Army Battalion, Auxiliary Corp, Corp of Engineers and the Commandos. These five units encompass what is the "Department of Defense", each with a commanding officer appointed to the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF), which is responsible for managing the general defense policies of the nation. The exact numbers of troops in each "Unit" is classified, and may overlap at times, but in order of personnel:<br />
<br />
*Army Battalion - main infantry group, main war entity.<br />
*Auxillary Corp - provides support to the other divisions.<br />
*Corp of Engineers - develops and manages land and borders.<br />
<br />
A single "Special Unit" exists for both domestic and foreign threats to the nation, comprised of members of any Armed Service regardless of branch, department or commission. The Commandos are not permanently formed like the other units. During war time or special operations, the government can take personnel from any of the uniformed groups and create the Commandos. Historically, this entity was known as the [[ISDO]], and was involved in the first unification of the two Kozucs during [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Operation J-Dub]].<br />
<br />
===Law Enforcement===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Justice and Security Commission]]''<br />
<br />
All law enforcement is done by the Kozuc National Armed Services. Although any branch of the military may enforce the laws of Kozuc, this is mainly charged to the Revolutionary Guard, specifically under the command of the Justice and Security Commission. This Commission is comprised of its chairman, Commissioner [[Emmett Small]] (who directly manages the Revolutionary Guard), the Commander of the the Domestic Service and the Director of the Information Bureau. In order of amount of personnel, the branches are:<br />
<br />
*Revolutionary Guard - law enforcement, politician protective service.<br />
*Domestic Service - customs and border protection, national guard.<br />
*Information Bureau - intelligence agency, runs state news network. <br />
<br />
The Commandos Special Unit of the military can also be formed with uniformed members from these branches. The Justice and Security Commission serves as the sole court and military tribunal during the transitional government. The three members are responsible for all trials during this period, as well as general law enforcement policy. Although the smallest commission, it is considered of equal status to the Defense Commission. <br />

The '''Republic of Kozuc''', known by many different names during past carnations, is a [[w:English language|English-speaking]] [[Micronation|micronation]] located in a region which is surrounded by [[w:Monterey|Monterey County]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as an independent state, a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]] of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and a [[Free State of Renasia#Regions|Special Administrative Region]] of the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Occasionally, cultural practices of Kozuc have been brought into controversy by some, particularly drug legalization and the prominence of the [[Kozuc National Armed Services|Armed Services]].<br />
<br />
Kozuc was first officially created February 1st, [[2010]] as the as the [[History of Kozuc#UPUC Era|United Provinces Under Chance]]. The nation has gone through many political changes and fluxes of activity since it was founded. The [[History of Kozuc#Nationalist Revolution|Nationalist Revolution]] of December, [[2015]] installed a transitional [[Military dictatorship|military dictatorship]], currently governed by the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Revolutionary Council]], [[President of Kozuc|President]] [[Riley Small]] and the [[Kozuc National Party]]. The government prides itself in having one of the most advanced military and security forces in the Community, a strong economy and an active political system. <br />
<br />
The current government is designed to be a temporary system for the republic. It is still unclear if or what will be the next step.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
The name "Kozuc" originated as an acronym that was commonly used during the micronation's second government, the [[History of Kozuc#Zurdon and Atlantis Era|Kingdom of Zurdonia]]. Kozuc replaced "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", and was initially used as military nomenclature distinguishing friendly troops from combatants. The use of "Under Chance" refers to [[Chance Anderson]], former King and leader during the first eras of Kozuc's history. The government officially used the word Kozuc when the first Republic of Kozuc was founded and Zurdonia collapsed. "Kozuc" has been used for a majority of the micronation's existence. <br />
<br />
Other state and private entities find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital city, was named after the former Overlord when it was formed as a "municipality" in [[2011]]. [[Anderson Arms]], security contracting/private military company, is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the term Kozuc is no longer used as an acronym. Anderson has since left micronationalism, but is remembered as one of the founders of the state, the first [[President of Kozuc#Prior to Revival|President]] and a "[[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]]".<br />
<br />
Although often misspoken, "Kozuc" is officially pronounced /kôzək/ or "kaw-zukh". The adjective form and demonym are also "Kozuc". Only under specific circumstances is the name ever altered. For example, the Kozo-Kozuc Treaty was signed when East and West Kozuc were seperated. The name does not find its roots in other languages, as it was originally an acronym. Zurdonia, the former micronation which dissolved into Kozuc, had a completely fictitious name with no alternate meanings.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history plagued with governmental instability, fluctuating activity and military conflicts. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of falsifying its population and fabricating events. After being disowned by the MicroWiki community, the nation dissolved. The Kingdom of Zurdonia was founded but quickly disbanded. Then, the first Republic of Kozuc began a transition towards factual information, yet dissolved due to political instability. The second Republic lead by [[Liam Barnard]] was the first completely "realistic" carnation of Kozuc, but again failed when [[Chance Anderson]] lead a revolution. Former Vice President [[Riley Small]] took power with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the state, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online government run by other micronationalists. This too would soon go into inactivity. <br />
<br />
Small moved to join [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie|Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen and did not intend to establish another Kozuc. Small had a successful career as an ambassdor for the Federal Republic, but exited when another local micronation was created. The People's Republic of Skendal (West Kozuc), and the fourth Kozuc Republic (East Kozuc), were formed and existed in cooperation for many months. Due to a change is schools by President Small, Kozuc experienced immense growth and activity. However, with Kozuc's Operation Jdub across the nation of Skendal, lead to their unification. An Empire was founded, but regardless of the military's attempts to maintain order, Skendal continued to push for sovereignty.<br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Eastern government reformed into the fifth Republic. Once Skendal left the union, Kozuc joined St.Charlie as a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]]. In mid-[[2012]] the government of Kozuc left the Federal Republic, and purged a large amount of citizens in preparation for another school move by Riley Small. Kozuc went through government transitions, conflicts with neighboring states, and periods of instability. The nation joined [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region, and nearly withdrew totally from international affairs. When then President Small was sentenced to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting President Rutger Sperry announced that Kozuc would be disbanded.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and Skendal, forming a new state. In July, the constitution for the Republic of Kozuc was approved by a referendum. Because of a deadlock between the former Socailist Party and Nationals, no laws were passed for six months. Although the government became inactive, the military reestablished dominance and the economy flourished. By December, President Small lead the Kozuc Nationalist Revolution, installing the current transitional military dictatorship. <br />
<br />
==Controversies==<br />
<br />
Kozuc has been the center of many legal and economic controversies throughout its history. In its first year, the United Provinces Under Chance was completely fictional, and raised concerns on its legitimacy. Later, Kozuc and its citizens would generate the reputation of being criminals, specifically in regards to drugs. Some international entities even sanctioned the state as a sponsor of these crimes, citing it was a safe haven for dealers and addicts. The government has never itself condoned the use or distribution of narcotics, however all classically controlled substances are legal within its borders. Another Kozuc activity which raised concerns was its infatuation with the military. However, it is well understood that the Armed Services is largely cultural.<br />
<br />
In October of 2015, the Socialist Party had called for the resignation of then parliamentary Opposition Leader, Spencer Morris, as he was serving jail time in the United States. President Small has stood by him, as he "never broke a Kozuc law". Small himself served a total of 19 months, sentenced four individual times as a juvenile. Now, Morris has left the agriculture industry to focus on politics, and continues to serve as the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Secretary General|Secretary General]] and all associated roles.<br />
<br />
Some think that the recent revolution was done so by the President either to gain power or to extract wealth from the National Reserve. Socialists also argue he is creating a military oligarchy in the name of stability. Regardless, nearly every remaining citizen in Kozuc supports the revolution. According to the Revolutionary Council, the government is meant to be a transitional system. However, it has not been made public that any plans to change have been made.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
<br />
The Kozuc population has been constantly changing throughout its history, with multiple citizenship purges and simple immigration process. All current citizens reside in the [[w:United States of America|American]] state of [[w:California|California]]. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized by the government. To be a citizen, one must join the [[Kozuc National Party]]. There are many more liberal members of the nation, but a vast majority supports the KNP government. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a part Caucasian. There is a small population of Latin-Kozucs and it is a much smaller percentage than Latinos in the surrounding [[w:Monterey, California|Monterey County]]. Current literacy rates are at perfect levels, and economic status is above United States average. <br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is a capitalist liberal populous. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is challenged by a macronational court or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it was seen as a "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance both within its borders and in regards to exports. All of this business, called the "agriculture" industry, is done so by private individuals. It is known that [[White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The [[Kozuc National Armed Services]] serves as both a symbolic and practical defense force for the micronation. Military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]], a movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the revolution. Although there are no compulsory taxes, it is custom for licensed corporations to make donations into the Kozuc National Bank so that the money can be used for loans and even some government services. <br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
<br />
Kozuc is one of the few micronations with an active economy which generates government revenue. Ever since the [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Golden Age]] of Kozuc, the export and trade of "agriculture" has been the largest commodity in the region. Almost all of the [[w:Gross Domestic Product|Gross Domestic Product]] is estimated to be directly agriculture or related to the agriculture business in some way. Since the nationalist's Revolution, Kozuc News is a state agency and the Kozuc National Bank was created by a merger of the Treasury and the National Reserve. All corporations must seek a license by joining the Kozuc Chamber of Commerce, a division of the Department of Fiance and Development. The Chamber was formed by what is known as the Market and Union Act (MUA), which reformed the local economy in December 2015.<br />
<br />
Also in the Chamber of Commerce are representatives from each of the licensed trade non-profits, which includes trade unions and political parties. Before the MUA, Kozuc had a corrupt economy due to lacking oversight and government intervention. SmallCorp, a company that now only works as an Agriculture Distribution Company, had nearly a total monopoly on all business and owned 90% of all the licensed companies.

Finally, the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF) serves as the equivalent of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in most nations.<br />
<br />
The government could be considered a dominant party state currently, because the Kozuc Nationals organized the revolution. However, the Democratic Socialist Party is involved in talks regarding the future for the nation.<br />
<br />
==Subdivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into two Districts and twp Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a registered population and a Governor, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government, which appoints a local Commander for each of the territories. Typically, territories have been used for defense training and operation, as well as economic ventures by private companies who lease the land from the government. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]]''<br />
<br />
There are two Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local Governor who serves as the governor, commander of local armed services and gubernatorial chief executive. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. Formerly, as designed by the constitution of July 2015, Districts were able to form local legislatures. However, under the new government which suspended the constitution, law making can only be done at the federal level, with the Governor responsible for enforcing national policies. <br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest District by population but smaller in area. Due to the coup of December and the reforms instituted, Kozuc's land claims have been consolidated. San Chance consists of the Presidential Palace and the home of the President's cousin, located directly across the street. Bakaria, however, is only the residence of the current Governor and a lot of forest land next to it. Zendel, the former capital of Skendal, a region in Utah formerly claimed by the government, has been ceded back to America as of the December coup. Currently, General Emmett Small serves as Governnor of San Chance and Commandant Caleb Baker as Bakaria's Governor.<br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]]''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Revolutionary Council. The President appoints a military representative to manage all operations, the Commander. Currently, there is a single territory located on public lands claimed also by the United States. White Mountain has been one of the classic claims of the Kozuc government throughout its history, and formerly a disputed region with the former micronations of Skendal and Frexico. The current Commander for the region is Colonel Kyle Bryan.<br />
<br />
White Mountain "proper" is currently split into five "Sectors", denoted by Roman numerals I through V, which serve as simply organizational distinctions. Up until December 2015, the Bourland Territory was also itself a territory, however was merged into White Mountain as Sectors Yankee and Zulu, which are considered "sub-White Mountain". In December, the government enacted imminent domain over all of the territory, and stripped any private persons from owning land in any of White Mountain or now sub-White Mountain. This caused unrest with many former Skendal citizens who plotted properties in the former Bourland Territory when it was a part of their independent micronation in 2012. <br />
<br />
The now soul Territory, White Mountain, is used for military operations and training. Regions are leased to private companies at discretion of the federal government in agreements known as "Insular Usage Contracts". There are three approved Insular Usage Contracts, for Anderson Arms, SmallCorp Distribution and MattoxCo Distribution. Anderson Arms' agreement is included in the greater Anderson Decree 2015, granting it permission to utilize any part of the Territory. SmallCorp Distribution is currently limited to Sectors III and V, and MattoxCo to Sector IV. The military is not responsible for the employees of any of these corporations.<br />
<br />
==Armed Services==<br />
''For more information, see - [[Kozuc National Armed Services]]''<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Services (informally the Armed Forces or Uniformed Services), abbreviated as K-NAS, are the combination of executive offices, agencies and other entities responsible for defense, security or justice. Under the military lead Revolutionary Council, all of them are a part of the "Kozuc Revolutionary Armed Forces", and there is no civilian police force. The Revolutionary Guard is the primary branch given the duty of enforcing Kozuc laws. Both of the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Commissions]] have multiple armed entities all of which both have been granted the powers as defense and police forces. <br />
<br />
There are two main officials responsible for the command of these personnel, the Security and Justice Commissioner and the Defense Commissioner. Every department is under one of these Commissions, excluding some independent bureaus (Attorney General's Office, etc.), both civilian and military. Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF).<br />
<br />
===Defense Forces===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Defense Commission]]''<br />
<br />
There are multiple branches and agencies responsible for the Armed Services of Kozuc, but the Defense Commission maintains what is often called the military. This includes the Army Battalion, Auxiliary Corp, Corp of Engineers and the Commandos. These five units encompass what is the "Department of Defense", each with a commanding officer appointed to the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF), which is responsible for managing the general defense policies of the nation. The exact numbers of troops in each "Unit" is classified, and may overlap at times, but in order of personnel:<br />
<br />
*Army Battalion - main infantry group, main war entity.<br />
*Auxillary Corp - provides support to the other divisions.<br />
*Corp of Engineers - develops and manages land and borders.<br />
<br />
A single "Special Unit" exists for both domestic and foreign threats to the nation, comprised of members of any Armed Service regardless of branch, department or commission. The Commandos are not permanently formed like the other units. During war time or special operations, the government can take personnel from any of the uniformed groups and create the Commandos. Historically, this entity was known as the [[ISDO]], and was involved in the first unification of the two Kozucs during [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Operation J-Dub]].<br />
<br />
===Law Enforcement===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Justice and Security Commission]]''<br />
<br />
All law enforcement is done by the Kozuc National Armed Services. Although any branch of the military may enforce the laws of Kozuc, this is mainly charged to the Revolutionary Guard, specifically under the command of the Justice and Security Commission. This Commission is comprised of its chairman, Commissioner [[Emmett Small]] (who directly manages the Revolutionary Guard), the Commander of the the Domestic Service and the Director of the Information Bureau. In order of amount of personnel, the branches are:<br />
<br />
*Revolutionary Guard - law enforcement, politician protective service.<br />
*Domestic Service - customs and border protection, national guard.<br />
*Information Bureau - intelligence agency, runs state news network. <br />
<br />
The Commandos Special Unit of the military can also be formed with uniformed members from these branches. The Justice and Security Commission serves as the sole court and military tribunal during the transitional government. The three members are responsible for all trials during this period, as well as general law enforcement policy. Although the smallest commission, it is considered of equal status to the Defense Commission. <br />

<div>:''Many pages regarding "Kozuc" redirect here - see [[Transitional Authority of Kozuc]] for more information.<br />
<br />
The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Transitional Authority of Kozuc]], is split into six eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Transitional Authority and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==Fictional Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from February 1st 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large population due to the government counting all of the families of registered citizens and any residents of claimed territory as a part of the nation. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially in regards to claims from the UPUC government about their level of internal activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowsia", existed in the area around them. Scandel, of course based around the name Skendal, an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information.<br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms were taking place. Despite the disorganized political system, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold true until its dissolution. Essentially having the same government form, and lead by the same regime, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
===Zurdonia and Atlantis===<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis period began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia. This period was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the "Kozuc" nations. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], entering only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October, when the "Tyler Revolutionary Forces" declared victory over the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance Anderson from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc first became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December 2010. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the beginning to the transition into actual factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
===First Republic===<br />
<br />
Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]], marking the first independent republic. This period began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. Although movement towards factual micronationalism were made during this time, many claims were still exaggerated. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop. This period soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic. <br />
<br />
The nature of Kozuc's claims were still questionable during this time. Small was still regarded by the community as a "sockpuppeter", although the micronation had already began to transition into the realm of factual secessionalism. With the dissolution of the first People's Republic, Small would begin to rebuild his relationships with the micronational community in the "Era of Revival". <br />
<br />
==Era of Revival==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during for the lies and fabrications during prior eras, now commonly known as the "Era of Revival". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to being a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all citizens as members of the Parliament. The Khanate was purely online.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|I learned much about the community during my times before the Era of Revival; it was more of myself testing the waters within the community. The water was very hot but I jumped in anyway without seeking guidance, and got burned. Since then, I have healed my wounds and become an active political force in the community. St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, but this was essentially the same as the Khanate. The Kingdom lasted only about two weeks until it was formally disestablished by the Small in May of [[2011]]<br />
<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic. This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the former [[Organisation of Active Micronations]] (OAM). As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past allegations that the body was "homophobic" and the stigmas that went with their point of view. <br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed in order to participate in local micronationalism. Also, during this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws they had in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM. Small would leave St.Charlie in August of 2011 to refound his own micronation, but he stated that he will continue to keep close ties with the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
==Two Kozuc Era ==<br />
<br />
The Two Kozuc Era, also known as the "Golden Age", was the beginning of the fully factual and functioning Kozuc, and its rise as a powerful force in the community. This Era would begin with two major events; the founding of Skendal, or" West Kozuc" and Riley Small entering high school and gaining interested and active citizens. West Kozuc and East Kozuc would be founded as a capitalist west and a socialist east. Soon, however, the West would also become a communist state. During this time, Riley Small became a prominent figure in the intermicronational community, especially on Skype and the forums. Small would play a part in [[Yablokogate]]. Kozuc-Sandum diplomatic issues arose over the banning of Walruses in the Kozuc region and "professionalism". The [[ISDO]], a special group of East Kozuc military personnel, were commissioned by the government to plan and execute "Operation J-Dub". This marked the forceful takeover of West Kozuc, merging them into a single Empire. <br />
<br />
===Skendal Liberation Movement===<br />
<br />
During the end of the Golden Age, the Skendal Prefecture declared independence from Kozuc. The Kozuc government reacted in a way that would allow them to peacefully leave under certain territorial agreements. Skendal, however, decided that they would claim over half of Kozuc controlled territory, the entirety of the Bourland National Park (now known as [[Bourland]]), as their own. This sparked some controversy in the community and the "Liberate West Kozuc Association" was founded by [[Westsylvania]] and some other members of the community. Soon, on Christmas Eve, a deal was decided on and the land was split equally between the two nations based on their prior occupied territory and how they would use the land. Three party talks, between Skendal, Kozuc and Tiana, led to this decision along with international pressure from supporters on both sides.<br />
<br />
==St.Charlian Era==<br />
<br />
After Kozuc split, Kozuc entered the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] as a [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Federation]]. After Small's change of schools, Kozuc's activity dwindled. Small became the Minister of Home Affairs for Kozuc, and was a delegate for the Federal Republic at the PoliNation conference in London. During this time, there was unrest within the federation regarding its status as a Federation. When Small took the Presidency, and was their representative to the St.Charlian General Assembly, many in the region dissented. <br />
<br />
Kozuc officially joined as a Federation on the 14th of April, 2012. On December 19th of that same year, Kozuc left the federal republic to form an independent micronation, and the fourth Kozuc republic.<br />
<br />
==Renasian Era: Dissolution==<br />
[[File:FSRenFlag.png|230px|thumb|Flag of Renasia|right]]<br />
<br />
During the Renasian Era, independent Kozuc did not sustain itself for long. Soon, after reformation, the republic joined the now defunct [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. Kozucs activity fluctuated, with most of its politics moving more internal between its members. Kozuc's agriculture business was the main focus of the society at the time, and it was recognized intermicronationally for its lenient policies on marijuana and drug use. This period led to the slow demise of Kozuc in 2014.<br />
<br />
Riley Small, president of the Republic and representative to the Renasian government, was sentenced to a lockdown facility for charges undisclosed in Texas. Attempts to keep internal activity continued, but the lack of communication with the community led to many thinking it had dissolved. The official dissolution of the government took place in January of 2015, on approval from President Small and then acting President Rutger Sperry, although inactivity had plagued the region for quite some time prior.<br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small decided, after leaving his lockdown, he would reenter the micronational community. First, after consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, he decided to form a new Kozuc state. This period has been known as the "Era of Rebirth". On June 21st, the Republic was refounded, with the constitution being ratified just six days later. Socialists from former "West Kozuc" and nationals from "East Kozuc" both joined this new state, with the only other micronation in the area being the [[Empire of Frexico]]. For months the multi-party system would stay in place, until the Nationalist Revolution.<br />
<br />
===Nationalist Revolution===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation, the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Revolutionary Council]]. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. However, negotiations between many different factions including the military, Socialists, Nationals and the President's government began in the first part of January 2016. The Revolutionary Council has agreed to only hold power until a new constitution is approved by the people.<br />

The '''Republic of Kozuc''', also known by many different past carnations of '''Kozuc''', was a micronation located in a region which borders [[w:Monterey|Monterey]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as both an independent entity and subdivisions of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Kozuc was first formed as an independent micronation on February 1st, [[2010]], but has since gone through many fluxes of activity, leading to its ultimate dissolution and reestablishment on June 21st, [[2015]].<br />
<br />
The current government of Kozuc is the [[Transitional Authority of Kozuc]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the Kozuc state finds its origins in an acronym that was commonly used during one of its first carnations as a micronation, the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc, initially, stood for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance". The term was a popular unofficial shorthand for the micronation in its early stages of development. The use of Chance derives from [[Chance Anderson]], the leader of the state at the time. After Zurdonia saw its demise, the name Kozuc was first officially used during the first Republic.<br />
<br />
Other state entities also find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital district, has been named for the former Overlord since its formation as a "municipality" in 2011. [[Anderson Arms]], the privately owned weapons and military contracting company is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the use of Kozuc as an acronym is no longer used, and Anderson has since left micronationalism. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history as an independent micronation before its initial dissolution and reformation into the state it is today. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of lying about the population and fabricating information. Then, the Kingdom of Zurdonia was then founded, but was short lived. The first Republic of Kozuc began to make the transition to factual information, yet was also soon to die because of instability within the government. The second Republic, under [[Liam Barnard]], was very active and completely "real", but was dissolved after a revolution lead by the former leader, [[Chance Anderson]]. [[Riley Small]] then took over, the former Vice President under Barnard, with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the micronation, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online state, but this too would soon go into inactivity. In a last ditch effort to keep the nation going, he reformed it to a Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Small's first move to join St.Charlie came in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen, and became an ambassador. Soon, however, he would apply to have former Kozuc join as a Federation, but this application would be cancelled when the Skendal government was re-founded. West Kozuc, also known as Skendal, and the fourth Kozuc Republic, or "East Kozuc", existed in cooperation for many months, and Kozuc flourished with a new active population because of Small's change in schools. But, with the Operation Jdub attacks which happened across the nation of Skendal for the course of a week, a conquest by the Eastern government lead to a unified Kozuc government. The Empire was founded, but would die when intelligence services found out the plot from Skendal to declare independence. <br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Central Command met to reform into the fifth Republic. When Skendal declared independence, Kozuc applied to join St.Charlie first as a Permanent Territory, but ultimately as a Federation. In June of 2012 the government of Kozuc purged a very large amount of citizens, going from 44 to 16, in preparation for a school move by [[Riley Small]]. Kozuc went through many more periods of instability leading up to its ultimate demise after joining the [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. After then President Small went to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting head of government Rutger Sperry announced via their official facebook group that Kozuc would be disbanded pending communications with Small.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and formed the Republic of Kozuc. After many years of influx and instability, the goal of the new state is to retain order, establish an independent and reliable government, as well as retain the culture of past incarnations of Kozuc. Currently, a transitional government is managing the Republic until a constitution is authored.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
The Kozuc population is split very much religiously. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized whatsoever by the government. The two parties registered to run in elections are the National Conservative Party and the Democratic Socialist Party, but there are many more left leaning members of the nation. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a majority Caucasian. Current literacy rates are at near perfect levels, with the only illiterate citizen being non-human, and economic status is above United States average. Citizens of Kozuc are broken up among those from California and those from the state Utah, who are considered residence of the [[Orion|Orion District]].<br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is very left wing in belief and holds a lot of liberal policies. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is legally challenged by a macronational government or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it served as a proposed "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Now, Kozuc's government is attempting to move away from this notion, however legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance. The state has not commented on the agricultural industry in Kozuc since its refounding, but it is known that [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Forces serves as both a symbolic and defensive force for the micronation. Military and military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also the guide to the Kozuc Revolution, a national movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the ideology and a societal push to be a completely sovereign state.<br />
<br />
==Government & Politics==<br />
The government of the Republic was established in July of 2015 by the [[Media:Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc.pdf|Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc]] as a semi-presidential democratic republic. The [[President of Kozuc]] serves as the head of state and symbol of national unity, but also has many executive roles. His independent Secretariat manages the armed forces of the nation, and currently includes a Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State Security and the presidential Chief of Staff. The current President of Kozuc is [[Riley Small]], as per election by popular vote in June of 2015. Small is a member of the National Conservative Party.<br />
<br />
An independent legislature, made up of the Commissioners of each District and five "Deputies", also referred to as "party seats", governs the nation in terms of law making and most internal affairs. The current makeup of the [[Federal Assembly of Kozuc]] is four to five, with a Democratic Socialist (DSP) majority against the National Conservative (NCP) minority. Although in the national vote, over seventy-five percent of the population vote for the DSP, three of four Commissioners are NCP members. There is currently one deputy, Spencer Morris, who serves as the minority leader in the Assembly. <br />
<br />
As the majority party leader and speaker of the assembly, the current [[Premier of Kozuc]] is the socialist party leader Everett Millet. Currently, a strong deadlock exists between the two parties, after the denial of the socialist endorsed "Constitution of the People's Republic of Kozuc", which moved to form a single party Communist state out of the revival of Kozuc. All of the members of the presidential Secretariat are NCP members.<br />
<br />
[[Liam Barnard]] was appointed to the position of [[Chancellor of Kozuc]], as of July 29th 2015. He is presumed to lean conservative, and has assumed the role of the Treasurer of the Kozuc National Reserve as per constitutional roles of the judiciary. The five member Chancellery is, however, assumed to lean left. The Office of the Registrar, responsible for receiving requests of citizenship, has been given to Associate Chancellor Luke Hiserman, and all other roles have been reserved by the Chancellor. <br />
<br />
==Subivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into four Districts and two Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a listed population and a Commissioner, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government in conjunction with the closest District government, and flies the flag of said district. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]], [[Orion]], Zendel''<br />
<br />
There are four Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local "District Commission" which serves as the gubernatorial government. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. As defined in the constitution of Kozuc, Districts may have their own legislative and executive body, however, all laws passed must be in accordance to federal law. <br />
<br />
Generally, a commission includes the head executive, the Commissioner, and his appointed Captain, who serves as the head of the local law enforcement agency. The third member is the Associate Chancellor, who is the local judicial representative to the Federal Chancellery. Upon registering as a citizen, every individual declares a District upon which they vote within and are governed by in terms of local laws. Each Associate Chancellor is responsible for ensuring that citizens of their respective district have their rights upheld in terms of voting, free speech and all other granted constitutional freedoms.<br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest district by population, and is also responsible for the management of the White Mountain Territory. By land, Zendel holds the status of the biggest region, and administers the Bourland Territory. The only subdivision of the Republic located outside of California is the District of Orion, which is found in the area of southern Utah. <br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]], Bourland Territory''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Home Affairs Ministry in conjunction with the closest District by distance. Currently, the two territories are located on public lands claimed also by the United States, but are used for military and development purposes for the nation. The Bourland Territory, although open to the public, has many "private property" holdings by the citizens of Zendel, who have claimed the land since their former existence as an independent micronation "Skendel".<br />
<br />
White Mountain is administered by the Bakaria District Commission, and the Bourland region by Zendel's gubernatorial government. The Bureau of Land Management, which is under the direction of the Deputy Premier and Minister of Home Affairs, controls the policies and usage of territories for the Republic, and ultimately have authority over the two regions. <br />
<br />
==Military & Police==<br />
The Kozuc area has been the center of many military operations since its first creation. The Kozuc National Armed Forces (KNAF) is the official defense force for the Republic. There are two independent branches of said force, the Kozuc National Army and the Kozuc Honor Guard. All law enforcement is done by the Honor Guard. Currently, a majority of the population make up the Armed Forces, and it is a ceremonial entity that represents the culture of both Kozuc and its history. The President of Kozuc, Riley Small, serves as the Commander-in-Chief and Field Marshal of both branches of the Armed Forces. Although never formally recognized by the government, it is speculated that a cross branch unit known as the [[ISDO]] still operates as a part of the Armed Forces.<br />
<br />
There is no formal intelligence service outside of the KNAF, and all armed services are managed by the President and his government. However, the protection and counter-intelligence for the President, Premier and all of the government is managed by the Kozuc Honor Guard. Currently, Kyle Bryan serves as Secretary of Defense and General of the Army, with Liam Chaffey serving as Secretary of State Security and General of the Honor Guard. The two Generals, Colonel Emmett Small (Commissioner of [[San Chance]]), Colonel Caleb Baker (Commissioner of [[Bakaria]]), Colonel Ryan Babylon (Commissioner of [[Orion]]), Colonel Kyle Groban (Commissioner of Zendel) and Field Marshal Small, make up the War Council (referred to in peace time as the Kozuc Defense Command), which administrates and authorizes all military operations in the name of state.<br />
<br />
Weapons development is managed by the state sponsored military contracting company, [[Anderson Arms]], named after [[Chance Anderson]], former President of the Republic of Kozuc. Most of the members of the Armed Forces are also employees of Anderson Arms, which by law is one of the two employers which can legally have military personnel on the payroll. The KNAF does not formally provide security to any state industry, but its members may do so independently through a contracting company. [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain Territory]] is the location of the largest military installment for the government, known as Fort Baker.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Empire of Kozuc]], is split into six eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Empire and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==Fictional Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from February 1st 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large population due to the government counting all of the families of registered citizens and any residents of claimed territory as a part of the nation. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially in regards to claims from the UPUC government about their level of internal activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowsia", existed in the area around them. Scandel, of course based around the name Skendal, an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information.<br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms were taking place. Despite the disorganized political system, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold true until its dissolution. Essentially having the same government form, and lead by the same regime, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
===Zurdonia and Atlantis===<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis period began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia. This period was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the "Kozuc" nations. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], entering only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October, when the "Tyler Revolutionary Forces" declared victory over the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance Anderson from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc first became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December 2010. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the beginning to the transition into actual factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
===First Republic===<br />
<br />
Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]], marking the first independent republic. This period began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. Although movement towards factual micronationalism were made during this time, many claims were still exaggerated. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop. This period soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic. <br />
<br />
The nature of Kozuc's claims were still questionable during this time. Small was still regarded by the community as a "sockpuppeter", although the micronation had already began to transition into the realm of factual secessionalism. With the dissolution of the first People's Republic, Small would begin to rebuild his relationships with the micronational community in the "Era of Revival". <br />
<br />
==Era of Revival==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during for the lies and fabrications during prior eras, now commonly known as the "Era of Revival". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to being a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all citizens as members of the Parliament. The Khanate was purely online.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|I learned much about the community during my times before the Era of Revival; it was more of myself testing the waters within the community. The water was very hot but I jumped in anyway without seeking guidance, and got burned. Since then, I have healed my wounds and become an active political force in the community. St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, but this was essentially the same as the Khanate. The Kingdom lasted only about two weeks until it was formally disestablished by the Small in May of [[2011]]<br />
<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic. This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the former [[Organisation of Active Micronations]] (OAM). As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past allegations that the body was "homophobic" and the stigmas that went with their point of view. <br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed in order to participate in local micronationalism. Also, during this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws they had in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM. Small would leave St.Charlie in August of 2011 to refound his own micronation, but he stated that he will continue to keep close ties with the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
==Two Kozuc Era ==<br />
<br />
The Two Kozuc Era, also known as the "Golden Age", was the beginning of the fully factual and functioning Kozuc, and its rise as a powerful force in the community. This Era would begin with two major events; the founding of Skendal, or" West Kozuc" and Riley Small entering high school and gaining interested and active citizens. West Kozuc and East Kozuc would be founded as a capitalist west and a socialist east. Soon, however, the West would also become a communist state. During this time, Riley Small became a prominent figure in the intermicronational community, especially on Skype and the forums. Small would play a part in [[Yablokogate]]. Kozuc-Sandum diplomatic issues arose over the banning of Walruses in the Kozuc region and "professionalism". The [[ISDO]], a special group of East Kozuc military personnel, were commissioned by the government to plan and execute "Operation J-Dub". This marked the forceful takeover of West Kozuc, merging them into a single Empire. <br />
<br />
===Skendal Liberation Movement===<br />
<br />
During the end of the Golden Age, the Skendal Prefecture declared independence from Kozuc. The Kozuc government reacted in a way that would allow them to peacefully leave under certain territorial agreements. Skendal, however, decided that they would claim over half of Kozuc controlled territory, the entirety of the Bourland National Park (now known as [[Bourland]]), as their own. This sparked some controversy in the community and the "Liberate West Kozuc Association" was founded by [[Westsylvania]] and some other members of the community. Soon, on Christmas Eve, a deal was decided on and the land was split equally between the two nations based on their prior occupied territory and how they would use the land. Three party talks, between Skendal, Kozuc and Tiana, led to this decision along with international pressure from supporters on both sides.<br />
<br />
==St.Charlian Era==<br />
<br />
After Kozuc split, Kozuc entered the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] as a [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Federation]]. After Small's change of schools, Kozuc's activity dwindled. Small became the Minister of Home Affairs for Kozuc, and was a delegate for the Federal Republic at the PoliNation conference in London. During this time, there was unrest within the federation regarding its status as a Federation. When Small took the Presidency, and was their representative to the St.Charlian General Assembly, many in the region dissented. <br />
<br />
Kozuc officially joined as a Federation on the 14th of April, 2012. On December 19th of that same year, Kozuc left the federal republic to form an independent micronation, and the fourth Kozuc republic.<br />
<br />
==Renasian Era: Dissolution==<br />
[[File:FSRenFlag.png|230px|thumb|Flag of Renasia|right]]<br />
<br />
During the Renasian Era, independent Kozuc did not sustain itself for long. Soon, after reformation, the republic joined the now defunct [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. Kozucs activity fluctuated, with most of its politics moving more internal between its members. Kozuc's agriculture business was the main focus of the society at the time, and it was recognized intermicronationally for its lenient policies on marijuana and drug use. This period led to the slow demise of Kozuc in 2014.<br />
<br />
Riley Small, president of the Republic and representative to the Renasian government, was sentenced to a lockdown facility for charges undisclosed in Texas. Attempts to keep internal activity continued, but the lack of communication with the community led to many thinking it had dissolved. The official dissolution of the government took place in January of 2015, on approval from President Small and then acting President Rutger Sperry, although inactivity had plagued the region for quite some time prior.<br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small decided, after leaving his lockdown, he would reenter the micronational community. First, after consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, he decided to form a new Kozuc state. This period has been known as the "Era of Rebirth". On June 21st, the Republic was refounded, with the constitution being ratified just six days later. Socialists from former "West Kozuc" and nationals from "East Kozuc" both joined this new state, with the only other micronation in the area being the [[Empire of Frexico]]. For months the multi-party system would stay in place, until the Nationalist Revolution.<br />
<br />
===Nationalist Revolution===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation, the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Revolutionary Council]]. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. However, negotiations between many different factions including the military, Socialists, Nationals and the President's government began in the first part of January 2016. The Revolutionary Council has agreed to only hold power until a new constitution is approved by the people.<br />

Riley Small decided, after leaving treatment, he would reenter the micronational community. First, After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, it seemed unlikely for a new active Kozuc. Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as "Orionis". However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to create the current [[Republic of Kozuc]], a multiparty semi-presidential state. <br />
<br />
On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished. Members of both former East and West Kozuc, as well as roommates of Small in Utah, have declared the Fifth Kozuc Republic. This Era has been commonly referred to as the "Revival of Kozuc". <br />
<br />
On July 27th, 2015 the Republic of Kozuc ratified its constitution, officially forming the government.<br />
<br />
===Presidential Coup of December===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. The Supreme Decree 2015 established the current government, effectively replacing the constitution. <br />

<br />
The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Empire of Kozuc]], is split into nine eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Empire and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==Fictional Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from February 1st 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large population due to the government counting all of the families of registered citizens and any residents of claimed territory as a part of the nation. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially in regards to claims from the UPUC government about their level of internal activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowsia", existed in the area around them. Scandel, of course based around the name Skendal, an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information.<br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms were taking place. Despite the disorganized political system, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold true until its dissolution. Essentially having the same government form, and lead by the same regime, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
===Zurdonia and Atlantis===<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis period began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia. This Era was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the "Kozuc" nations. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], entering only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October, when the "Tyler Revolutionary Forces" declared victory over the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance Anderson from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc first became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December 2010. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the beginning to the transition into actual factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
===First Republic===<br />
<br />
Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]], marking the first independent republic. This era began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. Although movement towards factual micronationalism were made during this time, many claims were still exaggerated. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop. This era soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic. <br />
<br />
The nature of Kozuc's claims were still questionable during this time. Small was still regarded by the community as a "sockpuppeter", although the micronation had already began to transition into the realm of factual secessionalism. With the dissolution of the first People's Republic, Small would begin to rebuild his relationships with the micronational community in the "Era of Rebirth". <br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during for the lies and fabrications during prior eras, now commonly known as the "Era of Rebirth". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to being a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all citizens as members of the Parliament. The Khanate was purely online.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|I learned much about the community during my times before the Era of Rebirth; it was more of myself testing the waters within the community. The water was very hot but I jumped in anyway without seeking guidance, and got burned. Since then, I have healed my wounds and become an active political force in the community. St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, but this was essentially the same as the Khanate. The Kingdom lasted only about two weeks until it was formally disestablished by the Small in May of [[2011]]<br />
<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic. This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the former [[Organisation of Active Micronations]] (OAM). As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past allegations that the body was "homophobic" and the stigmas that went with their point of view. <br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed in order to participate in local micronationalism. Also, during this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws they had in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM. Small would leave St.Charlie in August of 2011 to refound his own micronation, but he stated that he will continue to keep close ties with the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
==Two Kozuc Era ==<br />
<br />
The Two Kozuc Era, also known as the "Golden Age", was the beginning of the fully factual and functioning Kozuc, and its rise as a powerful force in the community. This Era would begin with two major events; the founding of Skendal, or" West Kozuc" and Riley Small entering high school and gaining interested and active citizens. West Kozuc and East Kozuc would be founded as a capitalist west and a socialist east. Soon, however, the West would also become a communist state. During this time, Riley Small became a prominent figure in the intermicronational community, especially on Skype and the forums. Small would play a part in [[Yablokogate]]. Kozuc-Sandum diplomatic issues arose over the banning of Walruses in the Kozuc region and "professionalism". The [[ISDO]], a special group of East Kozuc military personnel, were commissioned by the government to plan and execute "Operation J-Dub". This marked the forceful takeover of West Kozuc, merging them into a single Empire. <br />
<br />
===Skendal Liberation Movement===<br />
<br />
During the end of the Golden Age, the Skendal Prefecture declared independence from Kozuc. The Kozuc government reacted in a way that would allow them to peacefully leave under certain territorial agreements. Skendal, however, decided that they would claim over half of Kozuc controlled territory, the entirety of the Bourland National Park (now known as [[Bourland]]), as their own. This sparked some controversy in the community and the "Liberate West Kozuc Association" was founded by [[Westsylvania]] and some other members of the community. Soon, on Christmas Eve, a deal was decided on and the land was split equally between the two nations based on their prior occupied territory and how they would use the land. Three party talks, between Skendal, Kozuc and Tiana, led to this decision along with international pressure from supporters on both sides.<br />
<br />
==St.Charlian Era==<br />
<br />
After Kozuc split, Kozuc entered the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] as a [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Federation]]. After Small's change of schools, Kozuc's activity dwindled. Small became the Minister of Home Affairs for Kozuc, and was a delegate for the Federal Republic at the PoliNation conference in London. During this time, there was unrest within the federation regarding its status as a Federation. When Small took the Presidency, and was their representative to the St.Charlian General Assembly, many in the region dissented. <br />
<br />
Kozuc officially joined as a Federation on the 14th of April, 2012. On December 19th of that same year, Kozuc left the federal republic to form an independent micronation, and the fourth Kozuc republic.<br />
<br />
==Renasian Era: Dissolution==<br />
[[File:FSRenFlag.png|230px|thumb|Flag of Renasia|right]]<br />
<br />
During the Renasian Era, independent Kozuc did not sustain itself for long. Soon, after reformation, the republic joined the now defunct [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. Kozucs activity fluctuated, with most of its politics moving more internal between its members. Kozuc's agriculture business was the main focus of the society at the time, and it was recognized intermicronationally for its lenient policies on marijuana and drug use. This period led to the slow demise of Kozuc in 2014.<br />
<br />
Riley Small, president of the Republic and representative to the Renasian government, was sentenced to a lockdown facility for charges undisclosed in Texas. Attempts to keep internal activity continued, but the lack of communication with the community led to many thinking it had dissolved. The official dissolution of the government took place in January of 2015, on approval from President Small and then acting President Rutger Sperry, although inactivity had plagued the region for quite some time prior.<br />
<br />
==Era of Revival==<br />
Riley Small decided, after leaving treatment, he would reenter the micronational community. First, After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, it seemed unlikely for a new active Kozuc. Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as "Orionis". However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to create the current [[Republic of Kozuc]], a multiparty semi-presidential state. <br />
<br />
On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished. Members of both former East and West Kozuc, as well as roommates of Small in Utah, have declared the Fifth Kozuc Republic. This Era has been commonly referred to as the "Revival of Kozuc". <br />
<br />
On July 27th, 2015 the Republic of Kozuc ratified its constitution, officially forming the government.<br />
<br />
===Presidential Coup of December===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. The Supreme Decree 2015 established the current government, effectively replacing the constitution. <br />

The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Empire of Kozuc]], is split into nine eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Empire and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==UPUC Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from February 1st 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large population due to the government counting all of the families of registered citizens and any residents of claimed territory as a part of the nation. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially in regards to claims from the UPUC government about their level of internal activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowsia", existed in the area around them. Scandel, of course based around the name Skendal, an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information.<br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms were taking place. Despite the disorganized political system, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold true until its dissolution. Essentially having the same government form, and lead by the same regime, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
==Zurdon and Atlantis Era==<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis Era began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia. This Era was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the "Kozuc" nations. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], entering only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October, when the "Tyler Revolutionary Forces" declared victory over the Kingdom.<br />

The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance Anderson from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc first became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December 2010. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the beginning to the transition into actual factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]]. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
==First Kozuc Era==<br />
<br />
The First Kozuc Era was the period directly after the Republic of Kozuc left the Republic of Atlantis. This era began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop. This era soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic. <br />
<br />
The nature of Kozuc's claims were still questionable during this time. Small was still regarded by the community as a "sockpuppeter", although the micronation had already began to transition into the realm of factual secessionalism. With the dissolution of the first People's Republic, Small would begin to rebuild his relationships with the micronational community in the "Era of Rebirth". <br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during for the lies and fabrications during prior eras, now commonly known as the "Era of Rebirth". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to being a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all citizens as members of the Parliament.

St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, but this was essentially the same as the Khanate.

<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the Organisation of Active Micronations. As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past stigmas of homophobia in its membership.<br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed. During this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM. Small would leave St.Charlie in August of 2011 to refound his own micronation, but he stated that he will continue to keep close ties with the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
==Second Kozuc era ==<br />
<br />
The Second Kozuc Era, also known as the "Two Kozuc Era", was the beginning of the fully factual and functioning Kozuc its rise as a powerful force in the community. This Era would begin with two major events; the founding of Skendal, or" West Kozuc" and Riley Small entering high school and gaining interested and active citizens. [[West Kozuc]] and [[East Kozuc]] would be founded as a capitalist west and a socialist east. Soon, however, the West would become a communist state. During this time, Riley Small became a prominent figure in the intermicronational community, especially on Skype and the forums. Small would play a part in [[Yablokogate]]. Kozuc-Sandum diplomatic issues arose over the banning of Walruses in the Kozuc region and professionalism. The Second Kozuc era ended with the merger of the East and West after the infamous [[Operation J-Dub]]. <br />
<br />
==Third Kozuc Era: The Golden Age==<br />
<br />
The third Kozuc Era, often known as the "Golden Age" or the "Age of Growth", began with the unification of Kozuc. When the proposed joining of Nemkhavia was shot down in the former Kozuc parliament, and the Republic was founded, Kozuc became an active part of the [[GUM]] and intermicronational politics. With a new constitution being written, a democratic government and free elections. The military has gained large amounts of members during this time of the Republic. <br />
<br />
===Skendal Liberation Movement===<br />
<br />
During the end of the Golden Era, the Skendal Prefecture declared independence from Kozuc. The Kozuc government reacted in a way that would allow them to peacefully leave under certain territorial agreements. Skendal, however, decided that they would claim over half of Kozuc controlled territory, the entirety of the Ken Bourland National Park, as their own. This sparked some controversy in the community and the "Liberate West Kozuc Association" was founded by [[Westsylvania]] and some other members of the community. Soon, on Christmas Eve, a deal was decided on and the land was split equally between the two nations based on their prior occupied territory and how they would use the land. Three party talks, between Skendal, Kozuc and Tiana, led to this decision along with international pressure from supporters on both sides.<br />
<br />
==St.Charlian Era==<br />
<br />
After Kozuc split, Kozuc entered the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] as a [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Federation]]. After Small's change of schools, Kozuc's activity dwindled. Small became the Minister of Home Affairs for Kozuc, and was a delegate for the Federal Republic at the PoliNation conference in London. During this time, there was unrest within the federation regarding its status as a Federation. When Small took the Presidency, and was their representative to the St.Charlian General Assembly, many in the region dissented. <br />
<br />
Kozuc officially joined as a Federation on the 14th of April, 2012. On December 19th of that same year, Kozuc left the federal republic to form an independent micronation, and the fourth Kozuc republic.<br />
<br />
==Fourth Kozuc Era: Dissolution==<br />
[[File:FSRenFlag.png|230px|thumb|Flag of Renasia|right]]<br />
<br />
During the fourth Kozuc Era, independent Kozuc did not sustain itself for long. Soon, after reformation, the republic joined the now defunct [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. Kozucs activity fluctuated, with most of its politics moving more internal between its members. Kozuc's agriculture business was the main focus of the society at the time, and it was recognized intermicronationally for its lenient policies on marijuana and drug use. This period led to the slow demise of Kozuc in 2014.<br />
<br />
Riley Small, president of the Republic and representative to the Renasian government, sought drug and alcohol treatment in Texas. Attempts to keep internal activity continued, but the lack of communication with the community led to many thinking it had dissolved. The official dissolution of the government took place in January of 2015, on approval from President Small and then acting President Rutger Sperry, although inactivity had plagued the region for quite some time prior.<br />
<br />
==Fifth Kozuc Era: Revival==<br />
Riley Small decided, after leaving treatment, he would reenter the micronational community. First, After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, it seemed unlikely for a new active Kozuc. Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as "Orionis". However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to create the current [[Republic of Kozuc]], a multiparty semi-presidential state. <br />
<br />
On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished. Members of both former East and West Kozuc, as well as roommates of Small in Utah, have declared the Fifth Kozuc Republic. This Era has been commonly referred to as the "Revival of Kozuc". <br />
<br />
On July 27th, 2015 the Republic of Kozuc ratified its constitution, officially forming the government.<br />
<br />
===Presidential Coup of December===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. The Supreme Decree 2015 established the current government, effectively replacing the constitution. <br />

<br />
The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Empire of Kozuc]], is split into nine eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Empire and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==UPUC Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from February 1st 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large population due to the government counting all of the families of registered citizens and any residents of claimed territory as a part of the nation. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially in regards to claims from the UPUC government about their level of internal activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowsia", existed in the area around them. Scandel, of course based around the name Skendal, an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information.<br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms were taking place. Despite the disorganized political system, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold true until its dissolution. Essentially having the same government form, and lead by the same regime, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
==Zurdon and Atlantis Era==<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis Era began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia. This Era was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the "Kozuc" nations. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], entering only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October, when the "Tyler Revolutionary Forces" declared victory in the Pacific Front of the war.<br />
<br />
The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance Anderson from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc first became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December 2010. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the beginning to the transition into actual factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]]. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA|World Micronational Alliance]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
==First Kozuc Era==<br />
<br />
The First Kozuc Era was the period directly after the Republic of Kozuc left the Republic of Atlantis. This era began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc,. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop and the next constitution of 116 articles was written by Riley Small again. This era soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic.<br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during the Era, now commonly known as the "Era of Rebirth". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all other citizens as members of the Parliament.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|I learned much about the community during my times before the Era of Rebirth; it was more of myself testing the waters within the community. The water was very hot but I jumped in anyway without seeking guidance, and got burned. Since then, I have healed my wounds and become an active political force in the community. St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, essentially the same as the Khanate. This lasted only about two weeks until it was formally disestablished by the King in May of [[2011]]<br />
<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the Organisation of Active Micronations. As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past stigmas of homophobia in its membership.<br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed. During this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM.

First, After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, it seemed unlikely for a new active Kozuc. Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as "Orionis". However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to create the current [[Republic of Kozuc]], a multiparty semi-presidential state. <br />
<br />
On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished. Members of both former East and West Kozuc, as well as roommates of Small in Utah, have declared the Fifth Kozuc Republic. This Era has been commonly referred to as the "Revival of Kozuc". <br />
<br />
On July 27th, 2015 the Republic of Kozuc ratified its constitution, officially forming the government.<br />
<br />
===Presidential Coup of December===<br />
After the constitution was enacted, and elections held, a deadlock began between the two parties, with the Socialist-majority in the legislature and the National Party controlling the Presidency. When quorum could no longer be met, Small claimed the government had become inactive. Nationals blame the socialists for not willing to compromise after their loss in the referendum on which form of government would be used, and Socialists said it was because the Opposition had two incarcerated MPs. After calling for the resignation of these members from the left, the President continued to stand by them.<br />
<br />
Finally, among many controversies and disputes regarding the facts leading to this, Small ordered the military to install him as dictator and place a military junta in command of the nation. Since then, internal conflicts between the parties have begun, but the President strongly holds his ground. The Supreme Decree 2015 established the current government, effectively replacing the constitution. <br />

<div>{{WIP}}<br />
<br />
The '''History of Kozuc''', with the most recent carnation being the [[Empire of Kozuc]], is split into nine eras, starting from the United Provinces Under Chance, and resulting with its current status as an independent micronation located in California. [[Riley Small]], as the leading politician throughout its history, has both been the nation's head of state and as the head of government. Currently, Kozuc is focused on reestablishing itself as a influential force in the community. <br />
<br />
Kozuc, the Empire and its many other forms of government, is a micronation that has had a long history in the community, plagued with both war and instability. Throughout its time some have considered Kozuc as a leader. From its beginnings as a project by middle school students who fabricated many of their claims, to becoming a fully functional secessionist cultural movement, Kozuc has found itself both a part of conflicts and as a mediator within the community.<br />
<br />
==UPUC Era==<br />
[[File:UPUC Flag new.png|186px|right|thumb|Flag of the UPUC]]<br />
The United Provinces Under Chance was the longest independent non-Kozuc micronation to be founded in the Monterey area. The United Provinces existed from June 22nd 2010 to September 12th of that same year. The UPUC reported having a large amount of citizens due to the Census Association counting all of the families and residents of registered citizens are a part of the population. This lead to large amounts of doubt in the community, especially due to claims from the UPUC government about their level of activity.<br />
<br />
At the time, the UPUC was notorious for sockpuppeting in the community, as it claimed that three other micronations, known as "Scandel", "Sovia" and "Lowssia", existed in the area around the micronation. Scandel, of course, based around the name Skendal which was an actual micronation that had gone inactive years prior. The times of the UPUC are clearly split politically, with many members of a disorganized government structure. As the nation developed, its reputation in the community became worse, and would soon fail for lack of factual information on citizenship and activity.<br />
<br />
The UPUC would soon find itself facing international pressures to collapse. These were lead by allegations from the leadership of the former Yabloko and A1. These would lead to the finding of the mistrusts stated by the government of the United Provinces, despite many already noticing them as hypothesizing their claims. <br />
<br />
During all of this, government reforms are taking place. Despite the horrific government form and poor organized of the nation, out of these reforms came a constitution that would hold up until its dissolution. Essentially the same government form, and lead by the same leadership, the UPUC collapsed into the Kingdom of Zurdonia, naming [[Chance Anderson]] as King and [[Riley Small]] as its head of government. <br />
<br />
==Zurdon and Atlantis Era==<br />
[[File:800px-IRA Resistance Poster.png|230px|thumb|Anti-Zurdonian Propaganda|left]]<br />
The Zurdon and Atlantis Era began after the fall of the United Provinces Under Chance when Riley Small named Chance Anderson the King of Zurdonia This Era was the beginning of a type of micronationalism in the area that would lead to the Kozuc Eras. The Kingdom quickly jumped into the [[Atlantis Civil War]], most notably in the [[Atlantis Civil War (Pacific Front)|Pacific Front]], only one day after foundation. Zurdonia was short lived and disbanded on the 25th of October. When the Tyler Revolutionary Forces declared victory over the Pacific Front.<br />
<br />
The Atlantis period then began, and "Kozuc" was formed. Kozuc, first an acronym for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", was made up of new citizens from Small's school, and with the leave of Chance from politics, major reforms took place. Kozuc became a part of the [[Republic of Atlantis]] as a Confederated State. Riley Small, who was both a deputy in the [[Atlantis Parliament]] and [[Minister of Home Affairs (Atlantis)|Minister of Home Affairs]], took control over the Atlantis Intelligence Service and worked in the nation until the first of December of the same year. Many Kozuc people joined the Atlantis government as agents in the intelligence service, governors of Kozuc regions and in local offices. This was the end to the short lived attempt to actually factual micronationalism, which began in the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc left Atlantis after a large conflict with [[St.Charlie]]. During this time, Small was a leading figure in the [[WMA]] and held many offices within it.<br />
<br />
==First Kozuc Era==<br />
<br />
The First Kozuc Era was the period directly after the Republic of Kozuc left the Republic of Atlantis. This era began with Small writing an extensive, 156 article constitution and [[Liam Barnard]] becoming active in politics. At this point, Kozuc was still a part of the WMA and held close ties with the Republic of Atlantis. The first signs of socialism came about during these times, with the People's Republic of Kozuc,. Soon though, this would come to a complete stop and the next constitution of 116 articles was written by Riley Small again. This era soon ended with the dissolution of the first People's Republic.<br />
<br />
==Era of Rebirth==<br />
Riley Small re-entered the community with apologies during the Era, now commonly known as the "Era of Rebirth". The community accepted him back in and he would soon work his way back up to a respected micronationalist. Soon, he would found the Kozuc Khanate, a micronation consisting of delegates from other micronations with himself as Khan and all other citizens as members of the Parliament.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|I learned much about the community during my times before the Era of Rebirth; it was more of myself testing the waters within the community. The water was very hot but I jumped in anyway without seeking guidance, and got burned. Since then, I have healed my wounds and become an active political force in the community. St.Charlie has helped me do this, and I thank them for that.}}<br />
<br />
The Khanate was a great and active political force in the community for about 2 months, until many of its members became inactive. Riley Small and his new partner [[Joseph Puglisi]], made their last attempt to save this nation, allowing for any members to have dual citizenship, and reforming it into a Kingdom, essentially the same as the Khanate. This lasted only about two weeks until it was formally disestablished by the King in May of [[2011]]<br />
<br />
===Small's first St.Charlian career ===<br />
[[File:Flag stcharlie.png|180px|right|thumb|Flag of St.Charlie|border]]<br />
After the dissolution of the Khanate, Small decided he would seek citizenship in the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]]. <br />
On May 22nd 2011, Riley Small became the Oversees Ambassador and a member of the Ambassadorial Council of the Federal Republic This would lead to Riley Small's increase in influence, and he would soon become their delegate to the Organisation of Active Micronations. As the first bisexual member of the Council, he played a pivotal role in reforming many past stigmas of homophobia in its membership.<br />
<br />
During this time, the Republic of Skendal, which would soon become known by many as "West Kozuc", would be founded and Riley Small would try to get the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship repealed. During this time, Small became known for being the "Man who killed Istoria" after he had St.Charlie and many other micronations embargo the micronation over homophobic laws in place. Small also would play one of the largest roles in ending the New Guinea scandal by arguing on the side of Alexander Reinhardt to remove them from the OAM. Small would leave St.Charlie in August of 2011 to refound his own micronation, but he stated that he will continue to keep close ties with the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
==Second Kozuc era ==<br />
<br />
The Second Kozuc Era, also known as the "Two Kozuc Era", was the beginning of the fully factual and functioning Kozuc its rise as a powerful force in the community. This Era would begin with two major events; the founding of Skendal, or" West Kozuc" and Riley Small entering high school and gaining interested and active citizens. [[West Kozuc]] and [[East Kozuc]] would be founded as a capitalist west and a socialist east. Soon, however, the West would become a communist state. During this time, Riley Small became a prominent figure in the intermicronational community, especially on Skype and the forums. Small would play a part in [[Yablokogate]]. Kozuc-Sandum diplomatic issues arose over the banning of Walruses in the Kozuc region and professionalism. The Second Kozuc era ended with the merger of the East and West after the infamous [[Operation J-Dub]]. <br />
<br />
==Third Kozuc Era: The Golden Age==<br />
<br />
The third Kozuc Era, often known as the "Golden Age" or the "Age of Growth", began with the unification of Kozuc. When the proposed joining of Nemkhavia was shot down in the former Kozuc parliament, and the Republic was founded, Kozuc became an active part of the [[GUM]] and intermicronational politics. With a new constitution being written, a democratic government and free elections. The military has gained large amounts of members during this time of the Republic. <br />
<br />
===Skendal Liberation Movement===<br />
<br />
During the end of the Golden Era, the Skendal Prefecture declared independence from Kozuc. The Kozuc government reacted in a way that would allow them to peacefully leave under certain territorial agreements. Skendal, however, decided that they would claim over half of Kozuc controlled territory, the entirety of the Ken Bourland National Park, as their own. This sparked some controversy in the community and the "Liberate West Kozuc Association" was founded by [[Westsylvania]] and some other members of the community. Soon, on Christmas Eve, a deal was decided on and the land was split equally between the two nations based on their prior occupied territory and how they would use the land. Three party talks, between Skendal, Kozuc and Tiana, led to this decision along with international pressure from supporters on both sides.<br />
<br />
==St.Charlian Era==<br />
<br />
After Kozuc split, Kozuc entered the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] as a [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Federation]]. After Small's change of schools, Kozuc's activity dwindled. Small became the Minister of Home Affairs for Kozuc, and was a delegate for the Federal Republic at the PoliNation conference in London. During this time, there was unrest within the federation regarding its status as a Federation. When Small took the Presidency, and was their representative to the St.Charlian General Assembly, many in the region dissented. <br />
<br />
Kozuc officially joined as a Federation on the 14th of April, 2012. On December 19th of that same year, Kozuc left the federal republic to form an independent micronation, and the fourth Kozuc republic.<br />
<br />
==Fourth Kozuc Era: Dissolution==<br />
[[File:FSRenFlag.png|230px|thumb|Flag of Renasia|right]]<br />
<br />
During the fourth Kozuc Era, independent Kozuc did not sustain itself for long. Soon, after reformation, the republic joined the now defunct [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. Kozucs activity fluctuated, with most of its politics moving more internal between its members. Kozuc's agriculture business was the main focus of the society at the time, and it was recognized intermicronationally for its lenient policies on marijuana and drug use. This period led to the slow demise of Kozuc in 2014.<br />
<br />
Riley Small, president of the Republic and representative to the Renasian government, sought drug and alcohol treatment in Texas. Attempts to keep internal activity continued, but the lack of communication with the community led to many thinking it had dissolved. The official dissolution of the government took place in January of 2015, on approval from President Small and then acting President Rutger Sperry, although inactivity had plagued the region for quite some time prior.<br />
<br />
==Fifth Kozuc Era: Revival==<br />
Riley Small decided, after leaving treatment, he would reenter the micronational community. First, After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, it seemed unlikely for a new active Kozuc. Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as "Orionis". However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to create the current [[Republic of Kozuc]], a multiparty semi-presidential state. <br />
<br />
On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished. Members of both former East and West Kozuc, as well as roommates of Small in Utah, have declared the Fifth Kozuc Republic. This Era has been commonly referred to as the "Revival of Kozuc". <br />
<br />
On July 27th, 2015 the Republic of Kozuc ratified its constitution, officially forming the government.<br />
<br />

The '''Republic of Kozuc''', also known by many different past carnations of '''Kozuc''', is a micronation located in a region which borders [[w:Monterey|Monterey]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as both an independent entity and subdivisions of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Kozuc was first formed as an independent micronation on February 1st, [[2010]], but has since gone through many fluxes of activity, leading to its ultimate dissolution and reestablishment on June 21st, [[2015]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the Kozuc state finds its origins in an acronym that was commonly used during one of its first carnations as a micronation, the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc, initially, stood for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance". The term was a popular unofficial shorthand for the micronation in its early stages of development. The use of Chance derives from [[Chance Anderson]], the leader of the state at the time. After Zurdonia saw its demise, the name Kozuc was first officially used during the first Republic.<br />
<br />
Other state entities also find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital district, has been named for the former Overlord since its formation as a "municipality" in 2011. [[Anderson Arms]], the privately owned weapons and military contracting company is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the use of Kozuc as an acronym is no longer used, and Anderson has since left micronationalism. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history as an independent micronation before its initial dissolution and reformation into the state it is today. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of lying about the population and fabricating information. Then, the Kingdom of Zurdonia was then founded, but was short lived. The first Republic of Kozuc began to make the transition to factual information, yet was also soon to die because of instability within the government. The second Republic, under [[Liam Barnard]], was very active and completely "real", but was dissolved after a revolution lead by the former leader, [[Chance Anderson]]. [[Riley Small]] then took over, the former Vice President under Barnard, with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the micronation, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online state, but this too would soon go into inactivity. In a last ditch effort to keep the nation going, he reformed it to a Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Small's first move to join St.Charlie came in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen, and became an ambassador. Soon, however, he would apply to have former Kozuc join as a Federation, but this application would be cancelled when the Skendal government was re-founded. West Kozuc, also known as Skendal, and the fourth Kozuc Republic, or "East Kozuc", existed in cooperation for many months, and Kozuc flourished with a new active population because of Small's change in schools. But, with the Operation Jdub attacks which happened across the nation of Skendal for the course of a week, a conquest by the Eastern government lead to a unified Kozuc government. The Empire was founded, but would die when intelligence services found out the plot from Skendal to declare independence. <br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Central Command met to reform into the fifth Republic. When Skendal declared independence, Kozuc applied to join St.Charlie first as a Permanent Territory, but ultimately as a Federation. In June of 2012 the government of Kozuc purged a very large amount of citizens, going from 44 to 16, in preparation for a school move by [[Riley Small]]. Kozuc went through many more periods of instability leading up to its ultimate demise after joining the [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. After then President Small went to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting head of government Rutger Sperry announced via their official facebook group that Kozuc would be disbanded pending communications with Small.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and formed the Republic of Kozuc. After many years of influx and instability, the goal of the new state is to retain order, establish an independent and reliable government, as well as retain the culture of past incarnations of Kozuc. Currently, a transitional government is managing the Republic until a constitution is authored.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
The Kozuc population is split very much religiously. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized whatsoever by the government. The two parties registered to run in elections are the National Conservative Party and the Democratic Socialist Party, but there are many more left leaning members of the nation. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a majority Caucasian. Current literacy rates are at near perfect levels, with the only illiterate citizen being non-human, and economic status is above United States average. Citizens of Kozuc are broken up among those from California and those from the state Utah, who are considered residence of the [[Orion|Orion District]].<br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is very left wing in belief and holds a lot of liberal policies. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is legally challenged by a macronational government or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it served as a proposed "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Now, Kozuc's government is attempting to move away from this notion, however legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance. The state has not commented on the agricultural industry in Kozuc since its refounding, but it is known that [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Forces serves as both a symbolic and defensive force for the micronation. Military and military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also the guide to the Kozuc Revolution, a national movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the ideology and a societal push to be a completely sovereign state.<br />
<br />
==Government & Politics==<br />
The government of the Republic was established in July of 2015 by the [[Media:Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc.pdf|Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc]] as a semi-presidential democratic republic. The [[President of Kozuc]] serves as the head of state and symbol of national unity, but also has many executive roles. His independent Secretariat manages the armed forces of the nation, and currently includes a Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State Security and the presidential Chief of Staff. The current President of Kozuc is [[Riley Small]], as per election by popular vote in June of 2015. Small is a member of the National Conservative Party.<br />
<br />
An independent legislature, made up of the Commissioners of each District and five "Deputies", also referred to as "party seats", governs the nation in terms of law making and most internal affairs. The current makeup of the [[Federal Assembly of Kozuc]] is four to five, with a Democratic Socialist (DSP) majority against the National Conservative (NCP) minority. Although in the national vote, over seventy-five percent of the population vote for the DSP, three of four Commissioners are NCP members. There is currently one deputy, Spencer Morris, who serves as the minority leader in the Assembly. <br />
<br />
As the majority party leader and speaker of the assembly, the current [[Premier of Kozuc]] is the socialist party leader Everett Millet. Currently, a strong deadlock exists between the two parties, after the denial of the socialist endorsed "Constitution of the People's Republic of Kozuc", which moved to form a single party Communist state out of the revival of Kozuc. All of the members of the presidential Secretariat are NCP members.<br />
<br />
[[Liam Barnard]] was appointed to the position of [[Chancellor of Kozuc]], as of July 29th 2015. He is presumed to lean conservative, and has assumed the role of the Treasurer of the Kozuc National Reserve as per constitutional roles of the judiciary. The five member Chancellery is, however, assumed to lean left. The Office of the Registrar, responsible for receiving requests of citizenship, has been given to Associate Chancellor Luke Hiserman, and all other roles have been reserved by the Chancellor. <br />
<br />
==Subivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into four Districts and two Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a listed population and a Commissioner, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government in conjunction with the closest District government, and flies the flag of said district. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]], [[Orion]], Zendel''<br />
<br />
There are four Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local "District Commission" which serves as the gubernatorial government. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. As defined in the constitution of Kozuc, Districts may have their own legislative and executive body, however, all laws passed must be in accordance to federal law. <br />
<br />
Generally, a commission includes the head executive, the Commissioner, and his appointed Captain, who serves as the head of the local law enforcement agency. The third member is the Associate Chancellor, who is the local judicial representative to the Federal Chancellery. Upon registering as a citizen, every individual declares a District upon which they vote within and are governed by in terms of local laws. Each Associate Chancellor is responsible for ensuring that citizens of their respective district have their rights upheld in terms of voting, free speech and all other granted constitutional freedoms.<br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest district by population, and is also responsible for the management of the White Mountain Territory. By land, Zendel holds the status of the biggest region, and administers the Bourland Territory. The only subdivision of the Republic located outside of California is the District of Orion, which is found in the area of southern Utah. <br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]], Bourland Territory''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Home Affairs Ministry in conjunction with the closest District by distance. Currently, the two territories are located on public lands claimed also by the United States, but are used for military and development purposes for the nation. The Bourland Territory, although open to the public, has many "private property" holdings by the citizens of Zendel, who have claimed the land since their former existence as an independent micronation "Skendel".<br />
<br />
White Mountain is administered by the Bakaria District Commission, and the Bourland region by Zendel's gubernatorial government. The Bureau of Land Management, which is under the direction of the Deputy Premier and Minister of Home Affairs, controls the policies and usage of territories for the Republic, and ultimately have authority over the two regions. <br />
<br />
==Military & Police==<br />
The Kozuc area has been the center of many military operations since its first creation. The Kozuc National Armed Forces (KNAF) is the official defense force for the Republic. There are two independent branches of said force, the Kozuc National Army and the Kozuc Honor Guard. All law enforcement is done by the Honor Guard. Currently, a majority of the population make up the Armed Forces, and it is a ceremonial entity that represents the culture of both Kozuc and its history. The President of Kozuc, Riley Small, serves as the Commander-in-Chief and Field Marshal of both branches of the Armed Forces. Although never formally recognized by the government, it is speculated that a cross branch unit known as the [[ISDO]] still operates as a part of the Armed Forces.<br />
<br />
There is no formal intelligence service outside of the KNAF, and all armed services are managed by the President and his government. However, the protection and counter-intelligence for the President, Premier and all of the government is managed by the Kozuc Honor Guard. Currently, Kyle Bryan serves as Secretary of Defense and General of the Army, with Liam Chaffey serving as Secretary of State Security and General of the Honor Guard. The two Generals, Colonel Emmett Small (Commissioner of [[San Chance]]), Colonel Caleb Baker (Commissioner of [[Bakaria]]), Colonel Ryan Babylon (Commissioner of [[Orion]]), Colonel Kyle Groban (Commissioner of Zendel) and Field Marshal Small, make up the War Council (referred to in peace time as the Kozuc Defense Command), which administrates and authorizes all military operations in the name of state.<br />
<br />
Weapons development is managed by the state sponsored military contracting company, [[Anderson Arms]], named after [[Chance Anderson]], former President of the Republic of Kozuc. Most of the members of the Armed Forces are also employees of Anderson Arms, which by law is one of the two employers which can legally have military personnel on the payroll. The KNAF does not formally provide security to any state industry, but its members may do so independently through a contracting company. [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain Territory]] is the location of the largest military installment for the government, known as Fort Baker.<br />

The '''Republic of Kozuc''', also known by many different past carnations of '''Kozuc''', is a micronation located in a region which borders [[w:Monterey|Monterey]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as both an independent entity and subdivisions of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Kozuc was first formed as an independent micronation on February 1st, [[2010]], but has since gone through many fluxes of activity, leading to its ultimate dissolution and reestablishment on June 21st, [[2015]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name of the Kozuc state finds its origins in an acronym that was commonly used during one of its first carnations as a micronation, the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Kozuc, initially, stood for "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance". The term was a popular unofficial shorthand for the micronation in its early stages of development. The use of Chance derives from [[Chance Anderson]], the leader of the state at the time. After Zurdonia saw its demise, the name Kozuc was first officially used during the first Republic.<br />
<br />
Other state entities also find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital district, has been named for the former Overlord since its formation as a "municipality" in 2011. [[Anderson Arms]], the privately owned weapons and military contracting company is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the use of Kozuc as an acronym is no longer used, and Anderson has since left micronationalism. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history as an independent micronation before its initial dissolution and reformation into the state it is today. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of lying about the population and fabricating information. Then, the Kingdom of Zurdonia was then founded, but was short lived. The first Republic of Kozuc began to make the transition to factual information, yet was also soon to die because of instability within the government. The second Republic, under [[Liam Barnard]], was very active and completely "real", but was dissolved after a revolution lead by the former leader, [[Chance Anderson]]. [[Riley Small]] then took over, the former Vice President under Barnard, with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the micronation, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online state, but this too would soon go into inactivity. In a last ditch effort to keep the nation going, he reformed it to a Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Small's first move to join St.Charlie came in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen, and became an ambassador. Soon, however, he would apply to have former Kozuc join as a Federation, but this application would be cancelled when the Skendal government was re-founded. West Kozuc, also known as Skendal, and the fourth Kozuc Republic, or "East Kozuc", existed in cooperation for many months, and Kozuc flourished with a new active population because of Small's change in schools. But, with the Operation Jdub attacks which happened across the nation of Skendal for the course of a week, a conquest by the Eastern government lead to a unified Kozuc government. The Empire was founded, but would die when intelligence services found out the plot from Skendal to declare independence. <br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Central Command met to reform into the fifth Republic. When Skendal declared independence, Kozuc applied to join St.Charlie first as a Permanent Territory, but ultimately as a Federation. In June of 2012 the government of Kozuc purged a very large amount of citizens, going from 44 to 16, in preparation for a school move by [[Riley Small]]. Kozuc went through many more periods of instability leading up to its ultimate demise after joining the [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region. After then President Small went to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting head of government Rutger Sperry announced via their official facebook group that Kozuc would be disbanded pending communications with Small.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and formed the Republic of Kozuc. After many years of influx and instability, the goal of the new state is to retain order, establish an independent and reliable government, as well as retain the culture of past incarnations of Kozuc. Currently, a transitional government is managing the Republic until a constitution is authored.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
The Kozuc population is split very much religiously. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized whatsoever by the government. The two parties registered to run in elections are the National Conservative Party and the Democratic Socialist Party, but there are many more left leaning members of the nation. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a majority Caucasian. Current literacy rates are at near perfect levels, with the only illiterate citizen being non-human, and economic status is above United States average. Citizens of Kozuc are broken up among those from California and those from the state Utah, who are considered residence of the [[Orion|Orion District]].<br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is very left wing in belief and holds a lot of liberal policies. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is legally challenged by a macronational government or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it served as a proposed "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Now, Kozuc's government is attempting to move away from this notion, however legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance. The state has not commented on the agricultural industry in Kozuc since its refounding, but it is known that [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Forces serves as both a symbolic and defensive force for the micronation. Military and military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also the guide to the Kozuc Revolution, a national movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the ideology and a societal push to be a completely sovereign state.<br />
<br />
==Government & Politics==<br />
The government of the Republic was established in July of 2015 by the [[Media:Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc.pdf|Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc]] as a semi-presidential democratic republic. The [[President of Kozuc]] serves as the head of state and symbol of national unity, but also has many executive roles. His independent Secretariat manages the armed forces of the nation, and currently includes a Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State Security and the presidential Chief of Staff. The current President of Kozuc is [[Riley Small]], as per election by popular vote in June of 2015. Small is a member of the National Conservative Party.<br />
<br />
An independent legislature, made up of the Commissioners of each District and five "Deputies", also referred to as "party seats", governs the nation in terms of law making and most internal affairs. The current makeup of the [[Federal Assembly of Kozuc]] is four to five, with a Democratic Socialist (DSP) majority against the National Conservative (NCP) minority. Although in the national vote, over seventy-five percent of the population vote for the DSP, three of four Commissioners are NCP members. There is currently one deputy, Spencer Morris, who serves as the minority leader in the Assembly. <br />
<br />
As the majority party leader and speaker of the assembly, the current [[Premier of Kozuc]] is the socialist party leader Everett Millet. Currently, a strong deadlock exists between the two parties, after the denial of the socialist endorsed "Constitution of the People's Republic of Kozuc", which moved to form a single party Communist state out of the revival of Kozuc. All of the members of the presidential Secretariat are NCP members.<br />
<br />
[[Liam Barnard]] was appointed to the position of [[Chancellor of Kozuc]], as of July 29th 2015. He is presumed to lean conservative, and has assumed the role of the Treasurer of the Kozuc National Reserve as per constitutional roles of the judiciary. The five member Chancellery is, however, assumed to lean left. The Office of the Registrar, responsible for receiving requests of citizenship, has been given to Associate Chancellor Luke Hiserman, and all other roles have been reserved by the Chancellor. <br />
<br />
==Subivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into four Districts and two Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a listed population and a Commissioner, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government in conjunction with the closest District government, and flies the flag of said district. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]], [[Orion]], Zendel''<br />
<br />
There are four Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local "District Commission" which serves as the gubernatorial government. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. As defined in the constitution of Kozuc, Districts may have their own legislative and executive body, however, all laws passed must be in accordance to federal law. <br />
<br />
Generally, a commission includes the head executive, the Commissioner, and his appointed Captain, who serves as the head of the local law enforcement agency. The third member is the Associate Chancellor, who is the local judicial representative to the Federal Chancellery. Upon registering as a citizen, every individual declares a District upon which they vote within and are governed by in terms of local laws. Each Associate Chancellor is responsible for ensuring that citizens of their respective district have their rights upheld in terms of voting, free speech and all other granted constitutional freedoms.<br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest district by population, and is also responsible for the management of the White Mountain Territory. By land, Zendel holds the status of the biggest region, and administers the Bourland Territory. The only subdivision of the Republic located outside of California is the District of Orion, which is found in the area of southern Utah. <br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]], Bourland Territory''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Home Affairs Ministry in conjunction with the closest District by distance. Currently, the two territories are located on public lands claimed also by the United States, but are used for military and development purposes for the nation. The Bourland Territory, although open to the public, has many "private property" holdings by the citizens of Zendel, who have claimed the land since their former existence as an independent micronation "Skendel".<br />
<br />
White Mountain is administered by the Bakaria District Commission, and the Bourland region by Zendel's gubernatorial government. The Bureau of Land Management, which is under the direction of the Deputy Premier and Minister of Home Affairs, controls the policies and usage of territories for the Republic, and ultimately have authority over the two regions. <br />
<br />
==Military & Police==<br />
The Kozuc area has been the center of many military operations since its first creation. The Kozuc National Armed Forces (KNAF) is the official defense force for the Republic. There are two independent branches of said force, the Kozuc National Army and the Kozuc Honor Guard. All law enforcement is done by the Honor Guard. Currently, a majority of the population make up the Armed Forces, and it is a ceremonial entity that represents the culture of both Kozuc and its history. The President of Kozuc, Riley Small, serves as the Commander-in-Chief and Field Marshal of both branches of the Armed Forces. Although never formally recognized by the government, it is speculated that a cross branch unit known as the [[ISDO]] still operates as a part of the Armed Forces.<br />
<br />
There is no formal intelligence service outside of the KNAF, and all armed services are managed by the President and his government. However, the protection and counter-intelligence for the President, Premier and all of the government is managed by the Kozuc Honor Guard. Currently, Kyle Bryan serves as Secretary of Defense and General of the Army, with Liam Chaffey serving as Secretary of State Security and General of the Honor Guard. The two Generals, Colonel Emmett Small (Commissioner of [[San Chance]]), Colonel Caleb Baker (Commissioner of [[Bakaria]]), Colonel Ryan Babylon (Commissioner of [[Orion]]), Colonel Kyle Groban (Commissioner of Zendel) and Field Marshal Small, make up the War Council (referred to in peace time as the Kozuc Defense Command), which administrates and authorizes all military operations in the name of state.<br />
<br />
Weapons development is managed by the state sponsored military contracting company, [[Anderson Arms]], named after [[Chance Anderson]], former President of the Republic of Kozuc. Most of the members of the Armed Forces are also employees of Anderson Arms, which by law is one of the two employers which can legally have military personnel on the payroll. The KNAF does not formally provide security to any state industry, but its members may do so independently through a contracting company. [[White Mountain (Kozuc)|White Mountain Territory]] is the location of the largest military installment for the government, known as Fort Baker.<br />

<br />
His Excellency ''' [[Riley Small]]''', [[President of Kozuc]], [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Chairman of the Revolutionary Council]], [[Order of the Revolution|Destroyer of Nations]], [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]] [[Order of the Blue Star|OBS]], is the current dictator and founder of the [[Republic of Kozuc]]. Small currently serves as the head of state and head of government, and has had many other positions during his history in Kozuc. He has been the creator of many other governments throughout the [[History of Kozuc]], which at its peak was a flourishing micronation having over ninety citizens. As the highest-ranking member of the [[Kozuc National Party]], he serves as party leader.<br />
<br />
Riley Small has been a micronationalist since the founding of his first micronation, the United Provinces Under Chance, in Febuary 2010. He then began to develop another micronation but due to the lack of factual information, the project didn't last for long. Small went through many micronations both factual and fictional until he joined the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] in May [[2011]]. In August of that same year, Small left St.Charlie in order to create the Republic of Kozuc, but returned to the Federal Republic for a period of seven months after its initial failure. Due to inactivity, and other issues within the Republic, he and Kozuc left to join the [[Free State of Renasia]]. <br />
<br />
Now, Small leads the Republic of Kozuc as President, reestablished in June of 2015, and where he lead a Revolution to establish himself as military dictator. He is well known not only for his creation of Kozuc, but also as a St.Charlian politician and ambassador. <br />
<br />
== Micronational career ==<br />
<br />
Small started his micronational career as the initial founder, in February [[2010]], of the United Provinces Under Chance, a "seventh world" micronation, which he created together with Chance Anders, and other friends. He then became the leader of other small micronations which followed what was referred to as the UPUC-Kozo style micronationalism, a type of micronationalism, very similar to the ''Hontui Islands micronationalism'', based however in [[W:Monterey County, California|Monterey County, California]]. <br />
<br />
Initially criticized for the non-serious aim behind the United Provinces, mainly because of the fact that it was "made of pure lies", he became the only driving force in the advancement of the UPUC into a more serious project. The United Provinces was disestablished and became the Kingdom of Zurdonia. Small, however, was involved in a diplomatic dispute between Zurdonia and the UPUC Government-in-Exile, also known as the Tyler Revolutionary Forces, which did not recognize the new micronation. The crisis resulted in the end of both micronations and the foundation of the Republic of Kozuc. <br />
<br />
Small joined the [[Republic of Atlantis]] on behalf of Kozuc, and was nominated its Minister of Home Affairs. Kozuc remained part of Atlantis only for a short period, and then left the Republic due to the issues around the government of Atlantis, most notably their [[Atlantis Civil War|civil war]]. This resulted in a short political vacuum inside Kozuc, where many governmental reforms were implemented in order to solve the lack of citizens, the prolonged inactivity and the low reputation of Small, still judged by many as a "fraudster". Small later posted a public apology for its past actions and was accepted back into the MicroWiki Community. As a result, he founded the Kozuc Khanate on 25 January [[2011]], together with then-Prime Minister [[Joseph Puglisi]]. The Khanate was an online micronation, and contrary to the former projects carried out by Small, had a higher activity than the UPUC. However, shortly after its creation, due to Small's lack of time to run a nation as well as activity dropping within the once-active forum, the Khanate was disestablished. During the short existence of the Khanate, however, Small earned his reputation back and became a much more influential micronationalist. <br />
<br />
After disestablishing the Khanate, Small ended up applying for [[St.Charlie|St.Charlian]] citizenship in May [[2011]]. He was registered as a citizen of the Federation of [[Greater Ridgeway]] on 7 May. He then applied to become a member of the [[Ambassadorial Council]] on 15 May, and was unanimously accepted on 22 May by a Special Commission consisting of First Ambassador [[James Lunam]], Prime Minister [[Nicolò Alvisi]] and President of the [[St.Charlian Parliament|General Assembly]], [[Alexander Reinhardt]]. <ref> St.Charlie Observer: [http://stcharlianobserver.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/reinhardt-not-running-for-2012-general-elections/ Reinhardt not running in 2012 elections] </ref> Small then left St.Charlie in order to create the People's Republic of Kozuc. Since then, a large burst of activity has moved Kozuc to become a Republic, after a short lived Empire was founded.<br />
<br />
Small and the [[Kozuc]] region rejoined St.Charlie as a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]]. He served as Minister of Home Affairs for St.Charlie, in the Reinhardt Administration, and later resigned to become the President during a time of instability. However, due to inactivity and internal disputes, which are currently not made public in further detail, he left the Federal Republic. Now, as a Renasian citizen, Riley Small works with members of the Free State, in accordance to the Special Autonomous Regional treaty, signed in 2013. <br />
<br />
== Foreign affairs ==<br />
<br />
Riley Small had, prior to his appointment as Overseas Ambassador of St.Charlie, few notable events in foreign relations. He began his intermicronational career during the time of the United Provinces Under Chance when he began to attempt to establish relations with many micronations. Not being familiar with the community, he was a supporter of micronational warfare and started several conflicts with notable micronations such as the [[Kingdom of Zealandia]], over the issue of human rights within the UPUC. After the United Provinces failed due to criticism from many influential micronations on its fabricated content, Riley Small became more familiar with the MicroWiki community and slowly abandoned the concept of micro-war. <br />
<br />
Small apologized for his actions during the time of the United Provinces Under Chance and the short lived Kingdom of Zurdonia and went on to create the first Republic of Kozuc. During the time of Kozuc, Riley Small joined the [[World Micronational Alliance]] and became close allies with the [[Republic of Atlantis]]. Riley Small joined in the [[Atlantis Civil War]] and sided with Atlantis on most intermicronational issues. Small and the [[Union of South London Soviet Socialist Republics]] had a short conflict after the much larger conflict between Starland and the USLSSR. Small then created the internet nation of Kozuc Khanate where he stayed away from most conflicts. After the Khanate and the short lived Kingdom of Kozuc died out Riley Small began his career as a St.Charlian diplomat and politician.<br />
<br />
=== Istoria ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Istorian Flag.gif|thumb|right|140px]] <br />
<br />
{{quote| I believe in free speech and the entitlement to an opinion but the threat of execution of all Istorian gays, no matter if he is the only citizen, and the threat against communist nations is not to be defended by the freedom of speech.|Small on the former Istorian policy against communism and homosexuality}} <br />
<br />
Small was a significant figure during the diplomatic incident regarding the declarations of [[Kingdom of Istoria|Istorian]] monarch and sole citizen, Max Kasbar, on homosexuality. Kasbar stated that homosexuals in Istoria would have been "executed", and that the nation was declaring war on "all Communist countries". His declarations were negatively received by members of the MicroWiki Sector who accused him of "trolling". Small, however, was the first who formally responded to the incident by reporting it to the [[Ambassadorial Council]] and by demanding a diplomatic embargo to be placed on Istoria. <ref> St.Charlie Observer: [http://stcharlianobserver.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/ambassadorial-council-to-discuss-embargo-against-istoria/ Ambassadorial Council to discuss embargo against Istoria] </ref> A policy of non-recognition of the Istorian claims was passed unanimously on 12 June [[2011]]. Many micronations later followed the actions of [[St.Charlie]], notably a fellow [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] member, [[Tiana]] as well as [[Sandus]] and [[Senya]]. <br />
<br />
Being also a close friend of the government of the [[Empire of Starland]], Small proposed they condemn the government of Istoria as well. Small is credited for starting the chain of micronations condemning and embargoing Istoria and became known on Facebook as "the man who killed Istoria". Although Istoria was not disbanded following the event, Small's actions were fatal for their reputation in the intermicronational community, and probably caused its reformation into a [[Natlandist People's Directory of Istoria|Natlandist State]]. His actions greatly contributed to his diplomatic career, providing the impetus for him to become the St.Charlian Ambassador to the [[Organisation of Active Micronations|OAM]], succeeding Reinhardt.<br />
<br />
=== Organisation of Active Micronations ===<br />
<br />
[[File:OAM logo.png|border|right|150px|OAM logo.png]] On the day Riley Small was appointed the St.Charlian diplomat to the [[Organisation of Active Micronations]], many states that supported the closely-failed motion of no confidence against Secretary General [[Gordon Freeman]] left the organization.<ref> St.Charlian Forums: [http://stcharlie.forumcommunity.net/?t=46119067 Small replaces Reinhardt]</ref> Small, being a supporter of Freeman and believing that under his leadership the organization could reform, asked Freeman to resign in a public statement for the sole reason that many influential micronations wanted him out of office. However, Small supported Freeman's reasons to stay in office and believed that he could help the OAM come out of a period that many believed would lead to the end of the organization. <br />
<br />
Additionally, Small supported a proposed motion in the Ambassadorial Council to leave the organization until the issues where resolved. Riley also assisted an organization in writing a charter for a short time until he noticed that it would never succeed the OAM. Riley Small also discussed the idea of a new organization with Sebastian Linden after Linden informed Small that the Micronational Institute of Standardization was not inactive meaning that the [[Intermicronational Standardization Organization]] was not needed. The council never made a decision to leave so Small retained his position as Diplomat to the Organisation of Active Micronations and remained a voting member until Kozuc became independent in August 2011.<br />
<br />
=== New Guinea ===<br />
<br />
[[File:NG-Web-flag-sm.png|thumb|right|150px]] Riley Small came across the [[New Guinea]] article when it was first proposed to be a Good Article. He noticed that it claimed to have 6,500 citizens, a claim which he found dubious, and placed the dubious template on the page after a Skype conversation with Aldrich Lucas and [[Joseph Puglisi]]. After Archangel, the leader of New Guinea, removed the template and challenged the article's dubiousness, Small questioned him. Small asked Archangel about being a hacker and about the extraordinary claims as well as asking about his claim that the locals around New Guinea use his micronational currency more than the [[w:United States dollar|United States dollar]]. <br />
<br />
Small then went on to vote against a motion Archangel proposed in the Organisation of Active Micronations. Archangel sent Small a private message about the matter and how he should change his vote. Archangel said Small should do him a favour, claiming that he was "One who knows how to repay a favor". Small declined after talking to the First Ambassador, [[James Lunam]]. [[Alexander Reinhardt]] said that if Archangel was to do this again he should report it to the Ambassadorial Council. Soon after this, a then classified document reporting on the whole Archangel issue was given to Small. After it was declassified, Small proposed, after the motion was written by Alexander Reinhardt, that New Guinea be removed from the OAM. <ref> OAM Forum: [http://oam.50.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&amp;amp;amp;t=2546 Motion to remove New Guinea from the OAM] </ref> The resolution passed and New Guinea was expelled from the Organization of Active micronations with a two-thirds majority.<br />
<br />
== St.Charlian political career ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mycompas.png|thumb|left|140px|Mycompas.png]] <br />
<br />
On 22 June 2011, the one year anniversary of the United Provinces Under Chance and Riley's entrance to the MicroWiki community, he applied for the former land that was part of Kozuc Khanate to become a [[St.Charlian Federation]]. He did this in response to the process to become a Federation being amended so that he would not have to apply to be a [[St.Charlian Territory]] prior to earning Federation status in the [[St.Charlian Commonwealth]]. Small was elected the President of Kozuc and, if the application had gone through the [[St.Charlian Parliament]], he would have become the eleventh member of the General Assembly and the only American within the parliament. The Federation of Kozuc would have been the only American Federation of St.Charlie. Small decided, before the commission went through, that he would revoke his St.Charlian citizenship and create the People's Republic of Kozuc thus ending his political career within St.Charlie. Small formerly held the position of Chancellor of the Republic of Skendal and was going to attempt to have the micronation join the [[St.Charlian Commonwealth]]. Since then, he has returned. Kozuc joined the Federal Republic in April [[2012]], with Small working within the government on behalf of his Federation.<br />
<br />
=== Skendal ===<br />
<br />
Riley Small and the government leaders of the [[Republic of Skendal]] were very close friends since Skendal was founded. Riley Small wrote the Skendal constitution and had helped the Skendal government in designing their government and legal codes. Furthermore, Riley introduced Skendal and their leaders to MicroWiki when the Prime Minister mentioned he would be starting a micronation. After Riley found a loophole in the St.Charlian ban on dual citizenship, he became the sovereign and Chancellor of the Republic of Skendal, making him head of state and protector of the constitution. Small played an active part in Skendal politics but did not vote or hold citizenship in Skendal as the Chancellor. Although Small had left St.Charlie, he did not apply for Skendalian citizenship and resigned from his Chancellor position.<br />
<br />
== Rebirth of a nation ==<br />
Kozuc was reborn in August 2011 after Small's departure from the Federal Republic of St.Charlie. He founded the People's Republic of Kozuc, or East Kozuc, which soon reformed into a short lived Empire. With this, Riley Small began to gain influence in the community and get other citizenships. Now, after many changes of government, Kozuc has finally become a stable part of the greater Renasian state. <br />
<br />
=== Reunification of Kozuc ===<br />
<br />
The reunification of Kozuc caused some controversy in the community, with [[Westsylvania]] creating a Liberate West Kozuc Association. Kozuc was unified through a military operation which was described by a blog article written by Riley Small <ref> Voice of Chance: [http://rileysmall.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/operation-jdub/ Operation Jdub] </ref>. The Kozuc government continued to deploy troops to West Kozuc to silence a rebellion that was ultimately discovered not to exist. Westsylvania created a video showing solidarity with the West Kozuc rebels; a cause that did not exist. <ref> Maccoat Youtube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4NB6KI72ow Kozuc is still alive] </ref> The former West Kozuc politicians came out and stated they had no problem with a statement stating that this operation was not frowned upon by the Western population and they would stay unified. The entire Liberate West Kozuc Association died out quickly and all became peaceful in the then newly founded Republic of Kozuc. One report did state that the reunification was just a lie made up by the Kozucs but pictures and evidence was put forward stating otherwise by Riley Small himself. It is generally accepted by the community that this actually did happen.<br />
<br />
=== Kozuc-Skendal split ===<br />
[[File:Riley-Home-Minister.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Small signing documents at the [[2012]] PoliNation conference with Prime Minister Rienhart.]]<br />
<br />
Soon after the reunification, Skendal split from Kozuc. This caused some controversy in the community as well and it lead to the collapse of the Republic of Kozuc. For a while, the two states coexisted with the Federation of Kozuc, when it was a part of the St.Charlian Government, with the Skendallians independent of outside governing. However, Skendal soon collapsed, and other nations and groups were formed in the area, such as the [[Empire of Frexico]].<br />
<br />
=== Return to St.Charlie ===<br />
<br />
Riley Small rejoined St.Charlie in early 2012. First, Kozuc joined the [[St.Charlian Commonwealth]] as a [[St.Charlian Permanent Territory|Permanent Territory]]<ref> St.Charlie Observer: [http://stcharlianobserver.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/kozuc/ Kozuc updates Commonwealth membership] </ref>. Soon afterwards, Small decided that the Commonwealth would not support the idea of actually stabilizing Kozuc, and he moved to join as a Federation. He officially joined the Federal Republic on 14 April<ref> St.Charlie Observer: [http://stcharlianobserver.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/egtavia-kozuc/ Kozuc has joined the Federal Republic] </ref>. Prior to entering the nation, he helped the Army to declassify talks regarding the [[IMTO]], an intermicronational organisation<ref> St.Charlian Observer: [http://stcharlianobserver.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/hamlin-imto/ Declassified talks show Hamlin willing to disestablish IMTO] </ref>. Small was the Home Minister for Prime Minister Reinhardt, until he chose to resign in order to become Governor of Kozuc. While Governor of Kozuc, Small struggled to maintain stability in the region, and later would oversee its exit from the Federal Republic.<br />
<br />
== Post-St.Charlie ==<br />
The Federation officially left St.Charlie on 19 December 2012 and sought to remain independent. However, not shortly after the People's Republic of Kozuc was formed, it became a part of the [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Autonomous Region. Small was in and out of the community for some months, as he was dealing with personal issues. His mother passed away from brain cancer in June of 2013, and he entered a drug and alcohol treatment program. Kozuc became a mere dwindle of what it once was, and finally after being inactive for nearly seven months, it was disestablished by acting President Rutger Sperry upon approval from his government. When Renasia saw its formal demise, Small reached out to the community stating his goal to revive his participation in micronationalism. <br />
<br />
After consulting with local officials in the former Kozuc Republic, Small decided it would be fruitless to move for a reestablishment. Upon leaving his lock down facility in Texas, Small declared he would form a new micronation with his apartment roommates known as Orionis. However, after meeting with close associates from former Kozuc, and establishing an active base of citizens in California, he soon dropped this idea to recreate the [[Republic of Kozuc]], a socialist single party state. On June 12th of 2015, the idea of Orionis was pitched, and on the 21st of that same month, the Kozuc was reestablished.<br />
<br />
Kozuc's semi-presidential multi-party system was put into place by a constitution that was approved by referendum. However, because the leadership of the socialist party supported the second option, a communist People's Republic, which lost by a significant margin. When the Socialists won the parliamentary elections, a deadlock began between the legislature and President Small, a [[Kozuc National Party]] member. Soon, after disputes over attempted requests to remove National Party MPs from their posts, and lack of movement by the government, Small decided he would order the military to install a new government.<br />
<br />
Currently, Small rules over the single party military dictatorship as the President and leading member of the [[Kozuc National Party]]. <br />

There are two different grades; The Guides to the Revolution, who are considered the founding members of the micronation, and the Protectors of the Revolution, who have been significant members throughout many eras of the [[History of Kozuc]]. <br />
<br />
==Guides to the Revolution==<br />
The honor of being granted "Guide to the Revolution" is only for the two founders of the micronation. Along with the award itself, a secondary title is added to denote their roles in the creation of the state.

The title of "First Commander" was added to Chance Anderson's title as he was the first leader of the [[Kozuc Armed Forces]]. Their styles are as follows:<br />
*[[Riley Small]], Guide to the Revolution, Destroyer of Nations <br />
*[[Chance Anderson]], Guide to the Revolution, First Commander<br />
<br />
==Protector of the Revolution==<br />
This honor is given by one of the two Guardians at any time for their outstanding service in the micronational community or within Kozuc itself. Those currently awarded include:<br />

His Excellency '''Chance Anderson''', [[Order of the Revolution|First Commander]], [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]], is the former and first [[President of Kozuc]]. He was in power for the first year of the existence of [[Kozuc]], and was an active member in its administration. Prior to that, he was Overlord of the United Provinces Under Chance and the King of Zurdonia, [[History of Kozuc|predecessor states]] to the current Republic. During this time, he ruled via the military and started what effectively became a [[w:Cult of Personality|Cult of Personality]].<br />
<br />
Anderson was an extremely important individual in the shaping of Kozuc's culture, and is still revered by its citizens as one of its founders. However, Chance left micronationalism in [[2011]]. He was symbolically awarded the [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]] in 2011 for his role in the first Kozuc Revolution during the [[Atlantis Civil War]] by current President [[Riley Small]].<br />
<br />
The capital city, [[San Chance]], and the military contracting company [[Anderson Arms]] is named after Chance. The Territory of [[Bourland]] is named after Chance's former step-father, who was killed in action serving for the United States Marine Corp. <br />

Former Awards an Decorations awarded by the [[People's Republic of Kozuc]].<br />
==Order of San Chance==<br />
This award was for members of the community who have impacted micronationalism and progressed it in some way. There were two levels of the order, companion and master. If awarded as a companion one would receive the COSC as a post-nominal letters, and masters rewarded MOSC. This award was given by the People's President. Both citizens and non-citizens of Kozuc could be awarded for either progressing micronationalism as a whole or just Kozuc itself. As the People's Republic no longer exists, the award is no longer given but is still valid for all of it's members.<br />

<br />
The '''Republic of Kozuc''', known by many different names during past carnations, is a [[w:English language|English-speaking]] [[Micronation|micronation]] located in a region which is surrounded by [[w:Monterey|Monterey County]], [[w:California|California]] in the [[w:United States of America|United States of America]]. Kozuc has had a long standing history in the MicroWiki community, as an independent state, a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]] of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] and a [[Free State of Renasia#Regions|Special Administrative Region]] of the [[Free State of Renasia]]. Occasionally, cultural practices of Kozuc have been brought into controversy by some, particularly drug legalization and the prominence of the [[Kozuc National Armed Services|Armed Services]].<br />
<br />
Kozuc was first officially created February 1st, [[2010]] as the as the [[History of Kozuc#UPUC Era|United Provinces Under Chance]]. The nation has gone through many political changes and fluxes of activity since it was founded. The [[History of Kozuc#Nationalist Revolution|Nationalist Revolution]] of December, [[2015]] installed a transitional [[Military dictatorship|military dictatorship]], currently governed by the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Revolutionary Council]], [[President of Kozuc|President]] [[Riley Small]] and the [[Kozuc National Party]]. The government prides itself in having one of the most advanced military and security forces in the Community, a strong economy and an active political system. <br />
<br />
The current government is designed to be a temporary system for the republic. It is still unclear if or what will be the next step.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
The name "Kozuc" originated as an acronym that was commonly used during the micronation's second government, the [[History of Kozuc#Zurdon and Atlantis Era|Kingdom of Zurdonia]]. Kozuc replaced "Kingdom of Zurdonia Under Chance", and was initially used as military nomenclature distinguishing friendly troops from combatants. The use of "Under Chance" refers to [[Chance Anderson]], former King and leader during the first eras of Kozuc's history. The government officially used the word Kozuc when the first Republic of Kozuc was founded and Zurdonia collapsed. "Kozuc" has been used for a majority of the micronation's existence. <br />
<br />
Other state and private entities find their origins in Anderson's name. [[San Chance]], the capital city, was named after the former Overlord when it was formed as a "municipality" in [[2011]]. [[Anderson Arms]], security contracting/private military company, is another common recognition of Chance's contribution to the state. Now, the term Kozuc is no longer used as an acronym. Anderson has since left micronationalism, but is remembered as one of the founders of the state, the first [[President of Kozuc#Prior to Revival|President]] and a "[[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]]".<br />
<br />
Although often misspoken, "Kozuc" is officially pronounced /kôzək/ or "kaw-zukh". The adjective form and demonym are also "Kozuc". Only under specific circumstances is the name ever altered. For example, the Kozo-Kozuc Treaty was signed when East and West Kozuc were seperated. The name does not find its roots in other languages, as it was originally an acronym. Zurdonia, the former micronation which dissolved into Kozuc, had a completely fictitious name with no alternate meanings.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''For more information, see - [[History of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
Kozuc has had a long history plagued with governmental instability, fluctuating activity and military conflicts. First founded as the United Provinces Under Chance, it had a long period of falsifying its population and fabricating events. After being disowned by the MicroWiki community, the nation dissolved. The Kingdom of Zurdonia was founded but quickly disbanded. Then, the first Republic of Kozuc began a transition towards factual information, yet dissolved due to political instability. The second Republic lead by [[Liam Barnard]] was the first completely "realistic" carnation of Kozuc, but again failed when [[Chance Anderson]] lead a revolution. Former Vice President [[Riley Small]] took power with the third Kozuc Republic. He transformed the state, and began the Kozuc Khanate, a purely online government run by other micronationalists. This too would soon go into inactivity. <br />
<br />
Small moved to join [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie|Federal Republic of St.Charlie]] in April of 2011. He joined as a citizen and did not intend to establish another Kozuc. Small had a successful career as an ambassdor for the Federal Republic, but exited when another local micronation was created. The People's Republic of Skendal (West Kozuc), and the fourth Kozuc Republic (East Kozuc), were formed and existed in cooperation for many months. Due to a change is schools by President Small, Kozuc experienced immense growth and activity. However, with Kozuc's Operation Jdub across the nation of Skendal, lead to their unification. An Empire was founded, but regardless of the military's attempts to maintain order, Skendal continued to push for sovereignty.<br />
<br />
On December 2nd, 2011, 20 days before Skendal declared independence, the Eastern government reformed into the fifth Republic. Once Skendal left the union, Kozuc joined St.Charlie as a [[St.Charlian Federation|Federation]]. In mid-[[2012]] the government of Kozuc left the Federal Republic, and purged a large amount of citizens in preparation for another school move by Riley Small. Kozuc went through government transitions, conflicts with neighboring states, and periods of instability. The nation joined [[Free State of Renasia]] as a Special Administrative Region, and nearly withdrew totally from international affairs. When then President Small was sentenced to seek drug and alcohol treatment in Texas, acting President Rutger Sperry announced that Kozuc would be disbanded.<br />
<br />
In June of 2015, nearly a year and a half after his leave from the community, Small reached out to former citizens of Kozuc and Skendal, forming a new state. In July, the constitution for the Republic of Kozuc was approved by a referendum. Because of a deadlock between the former Socailist Party and Nationals, no laws were passed for six months. Although the government became inactive, the military reestablished dominance and the economy flourished. By December, President Small lead the Kozuc Nationalist Revolution, installing the current transitional military dictatorship. <br />
<br />
==Controversies==<br />
<br />
Kozuc has been the center of many legal and economic controversies throughout its history. In its first year, the United Provinces Under Chance was completely fictional, and raised concerns on its legitimacy. Later, Kozuc and its citizens would generate the reputation of being criminals, specifically in regards to drugs. Some international entities even sanctioned the state as a sponsor of these crimes, citing it was a safe haven for dealers and addicts. The government has never itself condoned the use or distribution of narcotics, however all classically controlled substances are legal within its borders. Another Kozuc activity which raised concerns was its infatuation with the military. However, it is well understood that the Armed Services is largely cultural.<br />
<br />
In October of 2015, the Socialist Party had called for the resignation of then parliamentary Opposition Leader, Spencer Morris, as he was serving jail time in the United States. President Small has stood by him, as he "never broke a Kozuc law". Small himself served a total of 19 months, sentenced four individual times as a juvenile. Now, Morris has left the agriculture industry to focus on politics, and continues to serve as the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Secretary General|Secretary General]] and all associated roles.<br />
<br />
Some think that the recent revolution was done so by the President either to gain power or to extract wealth from the National Reserve. Socialists also argue he is creating a military oligarchy in the name of stability. Regardless, nearly every remaining citizen in Kozuc supports the revolution. According to the Revolutionary Council, the government is meant to be a transitional system. However, it has not been made public that any plans to change have been made.<br />
<br />
==Demographics & Culture== <br />
<br />
The Kozuc population has been constantly changing throughout its history, with multiple citizenship purges and simple immigration process. All current citizens reside in the [[w:United States of America|American]] state of [[w:California|California]]. A high population of both atheists and Christians exist in the Republic, although no religion is recognized by the government. To be a citizen, one must join the [[Kozuc National Party]]. There are many more liberal members of the nation, but a vast majority supports the KNP government. Currently, the racial demographic is not very representative of the region Kozuc is located in, with nearly every citizen being Caucasian or a part Caucasian. There is a small population of Latin-Kozucs and it is a much smaller percentage than Latinos in the surrounding [[w:Monterey, California|Monterey County]]. Current literacy rates are at perfect levels, and economic status is above United States average. <br />
<br />
The culture of Kozuc is heavily influenced by both its history and the area that surrounds it. As a Californian micronation with many ties to the United States, the nation is a capitalist liberal populous. Marijuana is legal in the micronation, although the government will not vouch for an individual if this is challenged by a macronational court or police agency. Currently, a majority of citizens in Kozuc either use marijuana or formerly have. When Kozuc was at its peak, it was seen as a "safe haven" for drug crimes, however in practice it did not do so. Legally there is nothing barring the sale or distribution of any substance both within its borders and in regards to exports. All of this business, called the "agriculture" industry, is done so by private individuals. It is known that [[White Mountain]] is still used for this purpose.<br />
<br />
The [[Kozuc National Armed Services]] serves as both a symbolic and practical defense force for the micronation. Military exercises have been a part of the Kozuc culture since its early formation. [[Riley Small]] is revered as not only the head of state, but also [[Order of the Revolution|Guide to the Revolution]], a movement pivotal in its revival. Holidays and state ceremonies are centered around the revolution. Although there are no compulsory taxes, it is custom for licensed corporations to make donations into the Kozuc National Bank so that the money can be used for loans and even some government services. <br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
<br />
Kozuc is one of the few micronations with an active economy which generates government revenue. Ever since the [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Golden Age]] of Kozuc, the export and trade of "agriculture" has been the largest commodity in the region. Almost all of the [[w:Gross Domestic Product|Gross Domestic Product]] is estimated to be directly agriculture or related to the agriculture business in some way. Since the nationalist's Revolution, Kozuc News is a state agency and the Kozuc National Bank was created by a merger of the Treasury and the National Reserve. All corporations must seek a license by joining the Kozuc Chamber of Commerce, a division of the Department of Fiance and Development. The Chamber was formed by what is known as the Market and Union Act (MUA), which reformed the local economy in December 2015.<br />
<br />
Also in the Chamber of Commerce are representatives from each of the licensed trade non-profits, which includes trade unions and political parties. Before the MUA, Kozuc had a corrupt economy due to lacking oversight and government intervention. SmallCorp, a company that now only works as an Agriculture Distribution Company, had nearly a total monopoly on all business and owned 90% of all the licensed companies. After the revolution, the conglomerate was broken up. <br />
<br />
Up until the middle of 2012, private business was illegal in the nation, because of strict socialist leadership. While a [[St.Charlian Federation]], the first process to create a company was put into place by the local assembly. The first company to be granted a license and the oldest corporation to still operate is [[Anderson Arms]]. Anderson Arms is was initially only a weapons development company, but has since been granted special status as a private military company (PMC). The corporation has special regulations and responsibilities under the "Anderson Act". <br />
<br />
==Government & Politics==<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc]]''<br />
<br />
The Republic of Kozuc has had many government forms in its history as a micronation. After its revival in July 2015, a popular referendum installed a multi-party semi-presidential republic against a proposal for a socialist state. Currently, as of the December Revolution, a coup has been initiated by the President to install a "temporary and transitional government". It is unclear how long they will remain in power. <br />
<br />
As of December of that same year, the current government was put in power by a military coup. The [[President of Kozuc]] has been granted extraordinary power because of the revolution, with all other positions subordinate to him. The [[Kozuc National Armed Services]] rules the nation, with the President as Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal, head of state and government. Currently, the only requirement for a document to become law is a Presidential signature, effectively creating a [[w:Rule by decree|"Rule by Decree"]] system.<br />
<br />
There is a single, supreme entity that governs Kozuc, known as the Revolutionary Council. There are no separation of powers in the Republic, with the body serving similarly to a Council of Ministers, but also retains a judicial body and pseudo-legislative power. In addition to all these roles, the [[Kozuc National Party]] is run by the Revolutionary Council, being formed by out of their former Party Convention. Officially, the title of the head of state is the "President of the Republic, Chairman of the Revolutionary Council and Field Marshal of ''his'' National Armed Services". The military is involved in nearly every agency of the government.<br />
<br />
There are five grades of membership within the Revolutionary Council: Chairman, [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissiones|Commissioners]], [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Secretary General|Secretary General]], Secretaries and Directors. The Revolutionary Council is split into two "Commissions", both under the direct authority of the President or "Chairman". The [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Justice and Security Commission]] and the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Defense Commission]] each are headed by their respective Commissioner. Furthermore, the "Secretary General" is the chief political officer of the Kozuc National Party and is the head of all the independent offices (IO) of the government: IO of the Attorney General, IO of Party Policy, IO of the Inspector General and IO of Finance and Budget (which includes the Kozuc National Bank).<br />
<br />
The Commissions are comprised of many different Secretaries and Directors, with the Secretary General observes both of the Commissions but is not a member of either. Currently, all of the members of the government are both members of the Kozuc National Party and the National Armed Services. The Justice and Security Commission serves as the sole and supreme court of the Republic as a type of military tribunal. There are only three members of this Commission, as opposed to the Defense Commission which has most of the departments. Finally, the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF) serves as the equivalent of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in most nations.<br />
<br />
The government could be considered a dominant party state currently, because the Kozuc Nationals organized the revolution. However, the Democratic Socialist Party is involved in talks regarding the future for the nation.<br />
<br />
==Subdivisions==<br />
The Republic of Kozuc is divided into two Districts and twp Territories. A region with the status of "District" is a piece of land within the Republic that has a registered population and a Governor, who serves as both political and military leader for the region. A "Territory" is a region with no population and is administered directly by the federal government, which appoints a local Commander for each of the territories. Typically, territories have been used for defense training and operation, as well as economic ventures by private companies who lease the land from the government. <br />
<br />
===Districts===<br />
:''Current Districts: [[San Chance]], [[Bakaria]]''<br />
<br />
There are two Districts of the Republic, each with its own defined population and local Governor who serves as the governor, commander of local armed services and gubernatorial chief executive. The capital District, San Chance, serves as the political epicenter for the nation, and is the official residence of the [[President of Kozuc]]. Formerly, as designed by the constitution of July 2015, Districts were able to form local legislatures. However, under the new government which suspended the constitution, law making can only be done at the federal level, with the Governor responsible for enforcing national policies. <br />
<br />
Bakaria is the largest District by population but smaller in area. Due to the coup of December and the reforms instituted, Kozuc's land claims have been consolidated. San Chance consists of the Presidential Palace and the home of the President's cousin, located directly across the street. Bakaria, however, is only the residence of the current Governor and a lot of forest land next to it. Zendel, the former capital of Skendal, a region in Utah formerly claimed by the government, has been ceded back to America as of the December coup. Currently, General Emmett Small serves as Governnor of San Chance and Commandant Caleb Baker as Bakaria's Governor.<br />
<br />
===Territories===<br />
:''Current territories: [[White Mountain]]''<br />
<br />
Territories of the Republic are holdings which have no defined population, and are administered by the Revolutionary Council. The President appoints a military representative to manage all operations, the Commander. Currently, there is a single territory located on public lands claimed also by the United States. White Mountain has been one of the classic claims of the Kozuc government throughout its history, and formerly a disputed region with the former micronations of Skendal and Frexico. The current Commander for the region is Colonel Kyle Bryan.<br />
<br />
White Mountain "proper" is currently split into five "Sectors", denoted by Roman numerals I through V, which serve as simply organizational distinctions. Up until December 2015, the Bourland Territory was also itself a territory, however was merged into White Mountain as Sectors Yankee and Zulu, which are considered "sub-White Mountain". In December, the government enacted imminent domain over all of the territory, and stripped any private persons from owning land in any of White Mountain or now sub-White Mountain. This caused unrest with many former Skendal citizens who plotted properties in the former Bourland Territory when it was a part of their independent micronation in 2012. <br />
<br />
The now soul Territory, White Mountain, is used for military operations and training. Regions are leased to private companies at discretion of the federal government in agreements known as "Insular Usage Contracts". There are three approved Insular Usage Contracts, for Anderson Arms, SmallCorp Distribution and MattoxCo Distribution. Anderson Arms' agreement is included in the greater Anderson Decree 2015, granting it permission to utilize any part of the Territory. SmallCorp Distribution is currently limited to Sectors III and V, and MattoxCo to Sector IV. The military is not responsible for the employees of any of these corporations.<br />
<br />
==Armed Services==<br />
''For more information, see - [[Kozuc National Armed Services]]''<br />
<br />
The Kozuc National Armed Services (informally the Armed Forces or Uniformed Services), abbreviated as K-NAS, are the combination of executive offices, agencies and other entities responsible for defense, security or justice. Under the military lead Revolutionary Council, all of them are a part of the "Kozuc Revolutionary Armed Forces", and there is no civilian police force. The Revolutionary Guard is the primary branch given the duty of enforcing Kozuc laws. Both of the [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc|Commissions]] have multiple armed entities all of which both have been granted the powers as defense and police forces. <br />
<br />
There are two main officials responsible for the command of these personnel, the Security and Justice Commissioner and the Defense Commissioner. Every department is under one of these Commissions, excluding some independent bureaus (Attorney General's Office, etc.), both civilian and military. Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF).<br />
<br />
===Defense Forces===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Defense Commission]]''<br />
<br />
There are multiple branches and agencies responsible for the Armed Services of Kozuc, but the Defense Commission maintains what is often called the military. This includes the Army Battalion, Auxiliary Corp, Corp of Engineers and the Commandos. These five units encompass what is the "Department of Defense", each with a commanding officer appointed to the Joint Committee for the Staff and Command of the National Armed Services (JCSCRAF), which is responsible for managing the general defense policies of the nation. The exact numbers of troops in each "Unit" is classified, and may overlap at times, but in order of personnel:<br />
<br />
*Army Battalion - main infantry group, main war entity.<br />
*Auxillary Corp - provides support to the other divisions.<br />
*Corp of Engineers - develops and manages land and borders.<br />
<br />
A single "Special Unit" exists for both domestic and foreign threats to the nation, comprised of members of any Armed Service regardless of branch, department or commission. The Commandos are not permanently formed like the other units. During war time or special operations, the government can take personnel from any of the uniformed groups and create the Commandos. Historically, this entity was known as the [[ISDO]], and was involved in the first unification of the two Kozucs during [[History of Kozuc#Two Kozuc Era|Operation J-Dub]].<br />
<br />
===Law Enforcement===<br />
''For more information, see - [[Revolutionary Council of Kozuc#Commissions|Justice and Security Commission]]''<br />
<br />
All law enforcement is done by the Kozuc National Armed Services. Although any branch of the military may enforce the laws of Kozuc, this is mainly charged to the Revolutionary Guard, specifically under the command of the Justice and Security Commission. This Commission is comprised of its chairman, Commissioner [[Emmett Small]] (who directly manages the Revolutionary Guard), the Commander of the the Domestic Service and the Director of the Information Bureau. In order of amount of personnel, the branches are:<br />
<br />
*Revolutionary Guard - law enforcement, politician protective service.<br />
*Domestic Service - customs and border protection, national guard.<br />
*Information Bureau - intelligence agency, runs state news network. <br />
<br />
The Commandos Special Unit of the military can also be formed with uniformed members from these branches. The Justice and Security Commission serves as the sole court and military tribunal during the transitional government. The three members are responsible for all trials during this period, as well as general law enforcement policy. Although the smallest commission, it is considered of equal status to the Defense Commission. <br />

<br />
The '''President of Kozuc''' was a post throughout history that has been both head of state and head of government of the [[Kozuc]]. According to the many different constitutions, the President has had more of a ceremonial, symbolic role, or sometimes even supreme control. Throughout the [[History of Kozuc]], the President has always been the Commander-in-Chief of the [[Kozuc National Armed Services|Armed Forces]]. Now, the office is comparable to the [[Emperor of Kozuc]], ever since the nation's transition to a monarchy.<br />
<br />
In its most recent design, the office of the President was supposed to be mandated by the [[Media:Constitution of the Republic of Kozuc.pdf|Constitution of Kozuc]], however with the support of the military, the last President Riley Small disestablished the government. He served as Chairman of the [[Revolutionary Council]] during this time. As the head of state, the President served many roles both in and outside of nation. During the period in which Kozuc was a part of the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]], the office was the gubernatorial executive and representative to their parliament.<br />
<br />
==Mandate and Appointment==<br />
<br />
The President of Kozuc was popularly elected for the first time when it entered the Federal Republic of St.Charlie, and done so by all subsequent systems. Prior to its entry to the [[St.Charlian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]], the office held nearly absolute power. After the [[Transitional Authority of Kozuc]] As a totalitarian position, the President could appoint his successor, but in cases where it was a democratic post, popular election decided the next in office. The mandate could end by the following:<br />
<br />
*Natural term expiration;<br />
*Voluntary resignation;<br />
*Death;<br />
*Permanent inability, due to serious illness<br />
