<hr />
<div>The '''history of Austenasia''' refers to the history of the [[Empire of Austenasia]] and the land it currently consists of. A house in England, now known as [[Wrythe]], declared independence from the United Kingdom in 2008 as the Empire of Austenasia. Since then, dozens of people from around the world have claimed their properties for the Empire, expanding its presence around the world.<br />
<br />
On 31 December 2011, the [[Acts of Parliament in Austenasia|Era Names Act 2011]] (''IV Dec. I 2011'') was given Imperial Consent, establishing a system of era names similar to the [[w:Chinese era name|Chinese system]]. This system remained in force until February 2017, when [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Emperor Jonathan I]] decreed that era names would apply only to his predecessors.<br />
<br />
==Reign of Terry I==<br />
===Era of Foundation===<br />
The Era of Foundation is dated to begin on 20 September 2008: the day when, at 11:30am (BST/UTC+1), the town of [[Wrythe]] declared independence from the United Kingdom as the Empire of Austenasia. [[Terry I, Emperor of Austenasia|Emperor Terry I]] was unanimously proclaimed the nation's first [[Austenasian Monarchy|Monarch]], and his son [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Crown Prince Jonathan]] was unanimously proclaimed the first [[Prime Minister of Austenasia|Prime Minister]]. Crown Prince Jonathan then wrote a [[Austenasian Constitution of 2008|Constitution]], which after being accepted by every Austenasian resident was sent with a Declaration of Independence via e-mail to the MP for Carshalton and Wallington, [[w:Tom Brake|Tom Brake]]. On 13 October, Austenasia's Declaration of Independence was sent to [[w:Gordon Brown|Gordon Brown]], then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and on 30 December, the Declaration of Independence was once more sent, this time to the [[w:Home Office|UK Home Office]]. No reply was received from any of these declarations, which was interpreted as tacit consent for Austenasian independence.<br />
<br />
A huge fifty two Acts of Parliament were passed during this era, which lasted for just over four months; the most legislation passed during any era. It was during this time that the legislative process was properly codified, laws regarding titles and [[Awards and decorations of Austenasia|honours]] were first made, the Austenasian Star was declared the national flag, provision for emergencies and abdications was made, the [[Austenasian Police]] and [[Austenasian Television Productions]] were founded, most modern-day Government Ministries were formed, and the first attempts at diplomacy were made with the establishing of friendly relations with [[Republic of Molossia|Molossia]] and the appointing of an Ambassador to the <br> United Kingdom.<ref>[http://austenasia.webs.com/formeractsofparliament.htm "Former Acts of Parliament", Empire of Austenasia], Retrieved 26 January 2012</ref><br />
<br />
During the Era of Foundation, [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|HIH Crown Prince Jonathan]] exercised most powers of government, with Emperor Terry I taking on a primarily supervisory role and leaving most active leadership of the nation to his son. The Crown Prince was properly elected to the office of Prime Minister on 1 January in the first ever General Election when voters rejected the option to return to the United Kingdom.<ref>[http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Crown_Prince_Jonathan_of_Austenasia#Reign_of_Emperor_Terry_I "Crown Prince Jonathan of Austenasia - Reign of Emperor Terry I", MicroWikia], Retrieved 26 January 2012</ref> Relatives of the Emperor had been known as the Royal Family before 10 January, and held the style of Royal Highness; the passing of Act 47 on that day changed said instances of "Royal" to "Imperial",<ref>[http://austenasia.webs.com/47.doc Act 47 (The Imperial Family) of the Parliament of Austenasia], Retrieved 26 January 2012</ref> in what was perhaps the first instance of the Austenasian Government implying that the Emperor outranked most other heads of state.<br />
[[File:Suttonguardianphoto.jpg|thumb|left|A photograph published in the ''Sutton Guardian'' for an article on the Empire's founding]]<br />
The surrounding British town of [[w:Carshalton|Carshalton]] began to become aware of its new sovereign neighbour, when on 22 January an article was published in the ''Sutton Guardian'', a local newspaper, on the founding of the Empire.<ref>Barnes, Kevin (22 January 2009) [http://www.suttonguardian.co.uk/archive/2009/01/22/news_top_stories/4064529.Carshalton_home_declares_itself_independent_state/ Carshalton home declares itself independent state], ''Sutton Guardian''. Retrieved 26 January 2012.</ref><br />
<br />
===Era of Increasing Glory===<br />
The Era of Increasing Glory is dated to have begun on 31 January 2009. This era was characterised by cultural advancement and territorial gains for the Empire. It also saw the Empire hit by the [[w:February 2009 Great Britain and Ireland snowfall|Great Snow of 2009]], the first severe weather event to affect Austenasia since its founding.<br />
<br />
Act 64, passed on 7 March, adopted [[w:John the Apostle|St. John the Apostle]] as the Empire's patron saint, and the [[w:Bullmastiff|bullmastiff]] as the Empire's national animal (following the example of several U.S. states, numerous secondary animals - e.g. a "national bird" and even a "national dinosaur" - were also adopted). A national anthem, ''God save the Emperor'', was adopted on 4 April, and a coronation was held for Terry I on 20 May.<br />
<br />
On 21 February, a square foot of land in the Scottish Highlands personally owned by Crown Prince Jonathan was ceded to the Empire, and was annexed as [[Glencrannog]]. On 25 April, the Austenasian population expanded for the first time with the annexation of South Kilttown (later renamed [[Zephyria]]), the family home of one of Crown Prince Jonathan's friends, [[Lord Marshal William|Sir William]].<br />
<br />
The [[Austenasian Army]] was founded on 23 May, and took part in its first conflict a mere two days later when it was forced to [[Skirmish of the Treasury|defend Wrythe from British attackers]] which had infiltrated the [[Imperial Residence]]. The Austenasian Army was also mobilised on 28 August when it occupied and annexed [[Commius Flats]], extending the Empire's land area to the largest it would be until 2013.<br />
<br />
The Empire continued to gain publicity, being featured in an article in the Italian newspaper ''City'' in July.<ref>[http://city.corriere.it/pdf/supplementi/Summer.pdf ''City'' - Summer 2009 (Page 97)], Retrieved 6 February 2012</ref> All throughout this era the majority of friends, relatives, colleagues and classmates of the Imperial Family became aware of the young nation. <br />
<br />
The addition of South Kilttown to the Empire in April brought an end to the paramount leadership of Crown Prince Jonathan. He now had a fellow Representative, and although he still held the deciding vote as Prime Minister, it became convention that both Representatives had to agree for a law to be passed through Parliament. Emperor Terry I became increasingly withdrawn from politics, becoming an almost completely ceremonial Monarch, although he notably entered battle on behalf of the Empire during the [[Skirmish of the Treasury]], and continued to exercise a supportive advisory role in discussions with the Prime Minister.<br />
<br />
===Era of Respected Harmony===<br />
The Era of Respected Harmony is dated to have begun on 20 September 2009, Austenasia's first anniversary. After a year of domestic consolidation, the Empire began to first play a notable part in the [[MicroWiki nations|MicroWiki Community]], and this era is marked by the establishment of diplomatic relations with small nations both within said community - such as the [[Republic of Patetopia]], the [[Federal Republic of St.Charlie]], and the [[Slinky Empyre]] - and outside it, such as the [[Kingdom of Vikesland]], with which Austenasia's first diplomatic treaty was signed during on 24 October. Informal friendly relations were built up with a number of other nations, such as [[Empire of New Europe|New Europe]] and [[Landashir]], and the Empire became a member state of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] on 11 October.<br />
<br />
Domestically, this era saw laws regarding the Monarchy, nobility, and elections being codified in greater detail, as well as the Empire being hit by the [[w:Winter of 2009-2010 in the United Kingdom|Big Freeze of 2009/10]]. In January, [[Commius Flats|Tincomarus Department]] was ceded to the [[Slinky Empyre]] as a diplomatic gift, with the then [[Emperor Mother Margaret|Empress Margaret]] as its Vicereine.<br />
<br />
==Sole reign of Esmond III==<br />
===Era of the Consolidation of Imperial Power===<br />
{{Main|Austenasian Civil War}}<br />
<br />
The Era of the Consolidation of Imperial Power is dated to begin on 16 February 2010, with the ascension of [[Esmond III, Emperor of Austenasia|HIM Emperor Esmond III]] to the Throne. It is named after the [[Austenasian Civil War]], the distinguishing <br> event of the era.<br />
<br />
On 15 February 2010, Emperor Terry I had [[Terry I abdication crisis|announced that he wished to abdicate the Throne]]. HIH Crown Prince Jonathan refused to inherit the Throne so that he could remain Prime Minister, and so it passed to the second in line, [[Esmond III, Emperor of Austenasia|Dark Lord Esmond]] (the Supreme Companion of the Heir, who had been made second in line to the Throne by Parliament as a symbolic honour). He ascended to the Throne at roughly 14:40 on 16 February.<ref>[http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/Esmond_III_of_Austenasia#Becoming_Emperor "Esmond III, Emperor of Austenasia - Becoming Emperor", MicroWikia], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref> This caused tensions with [[Crown Princess Caroline of Austenasia|Princess Caroline]], who maintained that she should have been second in line instead. She officially claimed the Throne on 3 March, and four days later the [[Vestry Conference]] was convened in an attempt to negotiate a compromise for the Princess, but ended in failure with the declaration of a civil war upon the Emperor's government by Lord General William, Representative of South Kilttown.<ref>[http://austenasianewsarchives.webs.com/2010.htm "2010 - Spring 2010", Austenasia News Archives], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref><ref>[http://micronations.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template:Main_Page/Newsfeed&direction=prev&oldid=61385 MicroWikia Newsfeed Revision as of 15:23, March 7, 2010 by Friedebarth], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref> [[Wrythe]] remained loyal to the Emperor, whereas South Kilttown recognised Caroline as Monarch. Both sides recruited soldiers from the United Kingdom to fight in any prospective battles - two did take place, one in [[Battle of Carshalton Park|Carshalton Park]] and another in [[Battle of the Grove|modern-day Orly]], both victories for the government, but involving relatively small numbers of soldiers. Realising that the war would not be ended through military means, both sides organised the [[Austenasian Monarchical Referendum]], which proved that the Austenasian people wanted Esmond III to be Monarch. Princess Caroline then withdrew her claim to the Throne and Lord General William surrendered - the war formally ended on 24 May with the signing of the [[Treaty of Ruskin Road (2010)|Treaty of Ruskin Road]].<ref>[http://micronations.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template:Main_Page/Newsfeed&oldid=72733 MicroWikia Newsfeed Revision as of 15:27, May 24, 2010 by Austenasia], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref><br />
<br />
The Civil War brought about a decisive change to the location of political power in Austenasia. While Parliament constitutionally remained the supreme authority, more power began to be held by the Monarch, with Esmond III actively wielding those powers which Terry I had exercised only on the advice of the Prime Minister. Nearly all soldiers recruited from the United Kingdom in support of Esmond III attended Stanley Park High School along with the Emperor and Prime Minister, with whom they were friends and classmates - the area in which they often met for what would usually be general social conversation became what was practically a military HQ, with war strategies and diplomatic policies being considered and decided. With most decision making now taking place in this unofficial HQ, the role of the Prime Minister began to decrease - the military officers looked more to the Emperor for leadership, as it was on behalf of his right to the Throne that they had enlisted.<br />
<br />
The Empire was exposed to a large amount of publicity during this era. In March, the major South Korean newspaper ''[[w:The Chosun Ilbo|The Chosun Ilbo]]'' published an article on Austenasia,<ref>[http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/03/16/2010031600145.html?Dep1=news&Dep2=headline2&Dep3=h2_02 Chosun Ilbo 16 March 2010], Retrieved 9 January 2012</ref> spreading knowledge of the Empire's existence to thousands of readers. Awareness of Austenasia also spread locally to a huge degree thanks to the civil war, especially in the schools of both Esmond III and Lord General William, with over a hundred local British citizens (mainly students) being recruited or volunteering to prospectively fight for either the Emperor or Princess Caroline.<br />
<br />
Only four Acts of Parliament were passed during this era (two directly in response to the Civil War) - by rebelling against the Emperor, Lord General William lost his position as Representative of South Kilttown. Although William's father Lord John was appointed Acting Representative, he exercised no effective authority and for all intents and purposes Crown Prince Jonathan was once more sole Representative. He therefore found it necessary to pass some Acts through Parliament with his deciding vote as the Prime Minister, but refrained from doing this too much out of respect for democratic principles.<br />
<br />
===Era of Mighty Imperium===<br />
The Era of Mighty Imperium is dated to have begun on 24 May 2010, with the entering into force of the [[Treaty of Ruskin Road (2010)|Treaty of Ruskin Road]]. It is characterised by the zenith of Esmond III's political influence both within Austenasia and over the [[Carshalton Nations]], which first began to be grouped together in this way during this era.<br />
<br />
With the civil war over, the military HQ which had developed in the playground of the Emperor's school became more of an unofficial [[w:Court (royal)|imperial court]], where Esmond III would sign Acts of Parliament into law and discuss politics and policies with the Prime Minister, military officers, and numerous "advisors" and "courtiers". Although his powers were defined and limited by law, the influence of the Monarch had now become so great as to have the Throne the most powerful that it would ever be under the 2008 Constitution. The imperial nature of the Monarch had been stressed more and more during the civil war, and Esmond III was now seen by many as the successor to the Roman Emperors, with the Empire adopting [[Austenasian Monarchy#Imperium|a new political theory]] at the behest of the Imperial Court, which supported this view. Sentiment amongst the public and military was such that Parliament passed two Acts which further increased the power of the Monarch - Act 124, passed at the start of July, removed Parliament’s power to call a Vote of No Confidence on the Monarch to establish a Regency (this was repealed in March 2011), gave the Monarch immunity from prosecution, and bestowed upon him the power to grant the titles of [[Caesar (Austenasia)|Caesar]] and [[Augusta (Austenasia)|Augusta]] (highly symbolic of the emphasis now placed on the imperial nature of the Monarch’s title). Act 127, passed in September, gave the Monarch the right to issue Imperial Edicts - although limited in effect to Crown lands and unable to overrule Acts of Parliament, this was the first time that the Monarch could legislate independently of Parliament. 18 September saw an impromptu coronation for Esmond III at the Imperial Residence, at which he took the Imperial Diadem from the hands of Crown Prince Jonathan and crowned himself; again, an action which stressed his own authority.<br />
[[File:ImperialCourt2010.png|thumb|right|A map of the location of the Imperial Court]] <br />
Around the end of June, many British citizens who had supported Esmond III during the war without enlisting in the Austenasian Army began demanding to have their own nation. Led by [[Calum I of the Grove|Sir Calum]], a few days later they declared the local [[w:Grove Park, Sutton|Grove Park]] independent from the United Kingdom and, in accordance with the theory of the Austenasian Throne's suzerainty over the entire former Western Roman Empire, asked Esmond III to appoint a leader for them with what they saw as legitimate authority. Esmond III gave Sir Calum the title of Caesar, and gave him authority to rule over the newly founded nation of [[Caesarship of Orly|Orly]]. Orly split into the [[Kingdom of the Grove]] and the [[Kingdom of Copan]] later that month, but both Kingdoms initially viewed Esmond III as their overlord due to the view that their leaders derived their authority from his Throne. The [[Midget Nation-in-Exile]] had also become a ''de facto'' vassal of Austenasia by this date, and in October the nation of [[Rushymia (original kingdom)|Rushymia]] was nominally resurrected, with Esmond III as its titular King. By the end of this era, the Empire held suzerainty over all of the Carshalton Nations.<br />
<br />
During this era, diplomatic relations and a military alliance between the Empire and the [[Kingdom of Moylurg]] were established, and a protectorate over [[Dorzhabadic Republic|Dorzhabad]] was set up. Diplomatic relations were also established with [[Calsahara]], [[Gishabrun]], and [[NottaLotta Acres]]. Domestically, South Kilttown was renamed to [[Zephyria]] and Lord William once more became its legitimate Representative after being granted amnesty for his actions during the civil war.<br />
<br />
In December 2010, Esmond III announced a plan to transform Austenasia into a "communist dictatorship", with him in absolute control. Later that month, the Empire went to war after being threatened by the [[Midget Nation-in-Exile]] over the claims of Esmond III over the [[Orly|Tsardom of Orly]] (Copan and the Grove reunified) in the [[War of the Orlian Reunification]]. This war had been planned by Crown Prince Jonathan, intending to remove Esmond III from power before he could enact his plan of communist revolution, and ended with the capital city [[Fall of Wrythe|being surrendered]] to the local supporters of [[Declan I, II & V|King Declan I of Wilcsland]], who was then appointed as a jointly ruling monarch. Foreign nations and all Austenasians outside of Wrythe were informed that the capital had been invaded and forced to surrender, rather than have the plan revealed while Esmond III was still in power. The true events were revealed by the Crown Prince a year later.<ref>[http://commons.microwiki.org.uk/index.php?title=December_Confession "December Confession", MicroCommons], Retrieved 19 December 2011</ref><ref>[http://austenasianewsarchives.webs.com/2010.htm "2010 - Winter 2010", Austenasia News Archives], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref><br />
<br />
==Joint reign of Esmond III and Declan I==<br />
===Era of Joint Imperium===<br />
The Era of Joint Imperium is dated to have begun on 19 December 2010 with the ascension of HIM Emperor Declan I to the Throne, ruling alongside Esmond III. The era is characterised by the decrease in the power and influence of Esmond III at the expense of that of Declan I, as the aftermath of the War of the Orlian Reunification.<br />
<br />
After the war over Orly, the Austenasian Throne no longer held direct suzerainty over the Carshalton Nations. The Midget Nation-in-Exile was a vassal of Orly, which was a vassal of Declan I's native country of [[Kingdom of Wilcsland|Wilcsland]]. Declan I ruled all Carshalton nations in personal union, and for a short time the throne of Orly was even viewed by some as higher in precedence than that of Austenasia. However, this state of affairs did not last long, and by February at the latest it was once more acknowledged by most that the Austenasian Throne is highest in precedence.<br />
<br />
The initial reaction of Esmond III to the news of Declan I ascending the Throne was to attempt a communist revolution - although deterred from this course of action, it provoked the [[5 January Austenasian coup attempt]], in which two simultaneous coups (one by the Crown Prince trying to trick Esmond III into abdicating, and another by Esmond himself aiming to overthrow the constitutional government with the military) both failed. Parliament (which had supported the Crown Prince's attempted coup) viewed with concern the control that Esmond III had over the military, and so enacted a set of military reforms, renaming units and the titles of officers to model the Empire's military more on the imperial Roman than the British military. This served as a reminder to the Austenasian Army that it was ultimately controlled by Parliament and the Ministry of Defence, and not the Emperors. Most officers also approved of the structural reforms to the military which had been enacted, increasing their regard for Declan I - with whom they associated the "new" army - over Esmond III.<br />
<br />
Domestically, the Empire regained control over [[Commius Flats|Tincomarus Department]], occupying and then annexing it after the fall of the [[Slinky Empyre]] left it vulnerable to fall back under British sovereignty.<br />
<br />
===Era of Respected Glory===<br />
The Era of Respected Glory is dated to have begun on 31 March 2011 with the deprivation of Esmond III from the powers of the Throne after Parliament passed a Vote of No Confidence against him after being assured that the Austenasian Army would not react negatively. This effectively left Declan I as the only Monarch (Esmond III retained his titles only),<ref>[http://www.microwiki.org.uk/index.php?title=Template:Main_Page/Newsfeed&oldid=42717 MicroWiki Newsfeed as edited by Austenasia at 19:41, 31 March 2011], Retrieved 4 November 2011</ref> and led to a massive decline in the influence of the Imperial Court - it lost the ability to exercise even this influence after 13 May 2011, when it no longer met due to the year in which Esmond III and Crown Prince Jonathan were in departing for study leave, finishing their exams, and the majority of them leaving the school.<br />
<br />
Barely a week after Esmond III was removed from power, on 9 April, the [[Midget Nation-in-Exile]] (a local militaristic nation in personal union with Declan I, still the nominal government-in-exile of the once mighty [[Midget Empire]]) was annexed by Austenasia. As they had no land claims, the Empire did not physically increase in size, but the Austenasian Army was joined by five [[Midget Army|new Midget recruits]]. The Empire from then on began to claim the status of a successor state of the [[Midget Empire]], and therefore of the original [[Rushymia (original kingdom)|Kingdom of Rushymia]].<ref>[http://austenasia.webs.com/150.doc Act 150 (Assimilation into Austenasia of the Midget Nation-in-Exile) of the Parliament of Austenasia], Retrieved 6 November 2011</ref><ref>[http://microwiki.org.uk/index.php?title=Template:Main_Page/Newsfeed&oldid=45385 MicroWiki Newsfeed as edited by Austenasia at 06:10, 10 April 2011], Retrieved 6 Novemer 2011</ref><br />
<br />
On 20 May, Crown Prince Jonathan met with the local British MP, Tom Brake, to whom the Austenasian Declaration of Independence had originally been sent, and discussed the stance of the United Kingdom towards the Empire. Tom Brake MP wrote to the British Foreign Office on behalf of Austenasia, beginning ongoing negotiations between the [[Foreign Office (Austenasia)|Austenasian Foreign Office]] and its British counterpart regarding acknowledgement of <br> Austenasian autonomy.<ref>''Sutton Guardian'', 23 September 2011,[http://www.suttonguardian.co.uk/yoursay/communities/carshaltonlive/latestnews/9263842.Carshalton__micronation__pushes_for_independence/ "Carshalton "micronation" pushes for independence from Sutton"], Retrieved 6 February 2012</ref><br />
[[File:Flag2011.png|thumb|left|The Austenasian Star flying from the [[Imperial Residence]] on Independence Day 2011]] <br />
An Acting Prime Minister was appointed for the first time during June. Between the 5th and 22nd of the month, [[Lord Marshal William]] exercised the powers of the office while the Crown Prince undertook [[w:GCSE|GCSE examinations]]. In July, the [[Imperial Standard of Austenasia]], the Austenasian Coat of Arms, and a state motto were adopted through Acts 153 and 154 - national stamps were also produced for the first time in early September.<br />
<br />
This era also saw a period of increased diplomacy. Although no new formal bilateral ties were established, the Empire became active once more in the [[Grand Unified Micronational]], and sent Crown Prince Jonathan as its delegation to the [[2011 Intermicronational Summit]]. The Empire established increasingly friendly informal relations with a large number of [[MicroWiki nations]], through the 2011 Summit, casual online conversations between Crown Prince Jonathan and various international leaders, and the prominent role which Austenasia played in the mobilisation of widespread dissatisfaction amongst the community with the [[OAM]] in June (resulting in an ultimately unsuccessful vote of no confidence - by one vote - against the OAM's leader and a mass withdrawal of many nations, including the Empire, from the organisation a week later).<br />
<br />
In early September, an Act was placed before Parliament to organise a referendum in which the population of the Empire would vote on whether to keep the original Constitution or to adopt one of two proposed replacement constitutions. The [[2011 Austenasian Constitutional Referendum]] took place on 18 September, with the [http://commons.microwiki.org.uk/index.php?title=Austenasian_Constitution_of_2011 "Wrythian Constitution"] recieving 86% of the votes and entering into force two days later.<br />
<br />
==Sole reign of Declan I==<br />
[[File:OrangePyramidApril11.jpg|thumb|left|The original [[Orange Pyramid]], a prime example of Moylurgian cultural influence in Austenasia]]<br />
The final era of Austenasian history to have been given a specific name, the Era of Majestic Imperium, is dated to have started on 20 September 2011 with the adoption of the [[Austenasian Constitution of 2011]]. This new Constitution increased the powers of the Monarch, reformed the judicial system, and brought together a large amount of already codified laws on government together in the same document. Another consequence of the new Constitution was that Esmond III was removed completely from the office of Monarch, leaving Declan I as sole Emperor.<br />
<br />
Austenasia began to recommence the establishment of formal diplomatic relations. A large number of nations - the [[Republic of Egtavia]], [[Sandus]], [[People's Democratic Autocracy of Arborea|Arborea]], [[Social Republic of Bethania|Bethania]], [[Kingdom of Überstadt|Überstadt]] and [[Kingdom of Florenia|Florenia]] all entered into diplomatic relations with the Empire between September 2011 and January 2012, and Austenasia signed treaties of mutual recognition with the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]] and the [[Reylan Imperial Triumvirate]] in January 2012 and with the [[Kingdom of Überstadt]] in May 2012. The [[Great Socialist Union of Adjikistan]] and the [[Domanglia|Federal Republic of Domanglia]] both became protectorates of the Empire (Austenasia assuming responsibility for their defence and foreign affairs) in late October 2011, and Crown Prince Jonathan was elected to a quarterly term as [[Chair of the Grand Unified Micronational]] on 13 December 2011.<br />
<br />
In November, [[December 2011 Austenasian General Election|a General]] and a [[December 2011 Austenasian Local Election|Local Election]] were called, which took place on 23 December 2011 and resulted in Crown Prince Jonathan being re-elected Prime Minister but losing his position as Representative of Wrythe to [[Crown Princess Caroline of Austenasia|Princess Caroline]]. On 14 January, the Political Parties Act 2012 was given Imperial Consent, resulting in the Empire's first political party, the [[Theodorist Party of Austenasia]], being founded two days later, joined by the [[Social Democratic Alliance (Austenasia)|Social Democratic Alliance]] in early April.<br />
<br />
2012 saw some turmoil amongst the Empire's protectorates. Domanglia was deprived of its status as a protectorate on 6 April after having removed Declan I from his position as titular King of Domanglia. On 29 April, [[New Balland]] became an Austenasian protectorate, but relinquished this status when it transitioned into the [[Dakrit|State of Dakrit]] less than a month later on 19 May. On 31 May, the [[Union of Draegan Republics]] (Dorzhabad's successor state) was formally deprived of its status as a protectorate after having effectively dissolved two days earlier, leaving [[Monovia]] - Adjikistan's successor state - as the only remaining Austenasian protectorate. Monovia's status was changed from a protectorate to a protected state in October, with the Empire still responsible for its defence but relinquishing control over its foreign affairs.<br />
<br />
The summer of 2012 saw the Empire's government continue to focus on foreign affairs. Crown Prince Jonathan was re-elected to a (non-consecutive) second term as Chair of the GUM in June, and in July the [[2012 Polination Conference]] took place, with the Crown Prince meeting numerous politicians and diplomats from around the world and [[Wrythe]] hosting Austenasia's [[List of Austenasian state visits#Sandus.2FLandashir.2FFrancisville-Austenasia.2C 15 July 2012|first domestic state visit]]. In August, the Empire entered into foreign relations with [[Erephisia]] and [http://tatsumiya-online.weebly.com/index.html Tatsumiya], and also officially recognised [[Landashir]] and [[Francisville]], these latter two nations hosting an [[List of Austenasian state visits#Austenasia.2FSt.Charlie-Landashir.2FFrancisville.2C 14 August 2012|Austenasian state visit]] on the 14th of that month.<br />
<br />
The influence of Austenasia abroad continued to grow throughout this era, being voted the most influential nation in the MicroWiki Community for the first time in November 2012.<ref>[[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Nobilissimus Caesar, Jonathan]] (18 November 2012) [http://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/austenasia-voted-most-influential-microwiki-nation/ Austenasia voted most influential MicroWiki nation], ''Austenasian Times''. Retrieved 22 January 2013.</ref> This was helped by Declan I assuming several foreign thrones, bringing the Empire into personal union with many other nations. He became monarch of [[Amager]] and titular monarch of the [[Erephisia]]n nation of Erauqs in April 2012, and also temporarily ruled over [[Domanglia]], [[New Balland]] and [[Southern Burkland]] at various points over this era. Austenasia itself would incorporate many aspects of Moylurgian culture, leading to somewhat of a cultural renassiance during this period. Examples of significant Moylurgian cultural influence include the usage of [[Moylurgian hieroglyphs]] (which developed a distinct Austenasian form, known as "Carshaltonized"), the introduction of the [[Pontifex Maximus|Papacy of the Proto-Cults]] and several building projects such as the [[Orange Pyramid]]. Most Moylurgian influences have since largely disappeared, with the Papacy being one of the few remnants of this era to survive to the current day, albeit purged from many of its Moylurgian connotations and reformed as the office of the Pontifex Maximus.<br />
<br />
Declan would issue over nine direct Imperial edicts during his reign on issues ranging from Austenasian foreign policy (notably its policy of not referring to other micronational Imperial titles without express recognition first) to the banning of the display of the Union Jack in Austenasian territory as a seditious activity. Declan's somewhat autocratic style of governance (compounded by the fact that he would never actually step foot in Austenasian territory during his reign) would lead to a certain level of unpopularity, and his reputation as an "oriental despot" has somewhat sullied his legacy. Declan would ultimately abdicate on 20 January 2013 due to personal and political considerations, with his remaining influence in the [[Carshalton Nations]] abolished following what would come to be known as the [[Liberation of Orly]] in June of that same year. The last remaining vestigial ties to Declan and [[New Wessex]] were cut the following month.<ref>[[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Noblissimus Caesar, Jonathan]] (12 July 2013) [https://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/palasia-annexed-as-ties-cut-with-new-wessex/ Palasia annexed as ties cut with New Wessex] ''Austenasian Times''. Retrieved 22 December 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
==Reign of Jonathan I==<br />
===Early reign===<br />
On 20 January 2013, Crown Prince Jonathan ascended to the Throne as HIM Emperor Jonathan I.<ref>First Imperial Edict of HIM Emperor Jonathan I</ref> This took place a few minutes after Declan I announced his abdication, stating that he was abdicating for "personal reasons" as his life had been "going in a different direction for some time".<ref>[[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Augustus, Jonathan]] (20 January 2013) [http://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/declan-i-abdicates-jonathan-i-ascends-to-the-throne/ Declan I abdicates - Jonathan I ascends to the Throne], ''Austenasian Times''. Retrieved 22 January 2013.</ref> The [[United Kingdom of New Wessex|Wessaxon]] colony of [[New South Scotland]] was ceded to the Empire later that day, followed by [[Axvalley]] on 20 February, with both of these territories being annexed with the new status of [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|Crown Dependencies]].<br />
[[File:ToW.jpg|thumb|left|Jonathan I and Taeglan I Nihilus sign the Treaty of Wrythe at the former's coronation.]]<br />
The [[Coronation of Emperor Jonathan I]] took place at the [[Imperial Residence]] on 23 February 2013, attended by various dignitaries and covered by local "macronational" news. [[Taeglan I Nihilus, Reylan Emperor|Emperor Taeglan I Nihilus]] of the [[Reylan Imperial Triumvirate]] was among the guests, and his visit to Wrythe was used as an opportunity for the two monarchs to sign a treaty recognising each other's [[Imperium (political theory)|claim to imperial rank]]. The media coverage of the coronation resulted in a spike of interest in Austenasia in the local area, especially at the [[w:Sixth form college|sixth form college]] attended by Jonathan I and [[Orly|Orlian]] noble [[Eritoshi, Countess of Memphis|Countess Eritoshi]].<br />
<br />
With Jonathan I now holding the Throne, the position of Prime Minister automatically fell to the [[Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia|Deputy PM]], Lord Marshal William, who became head of government as Acting Prime Minister. Despite the office of Prime Minister having gradually lost power and authority to the Throne, Jonathan himself still held immense personal influence due to his status as Founder and his long-running role as the "one-man civil service" formalised in the position of [[Secretary-General (Austenasia)|Secretary-General]]; for the first time, these two positions were united with the office of the Monarch. This led to the Throne becoming under Jonathan I more powerful than it had ever been before; the transition seen under the reigns of Esmond III and Declan I from the consultative, moderating role of Terry I to proactive executive leadership was now complete. This new-found activity and influence of the Throne, combined with William's awareness that he had not been elected to his new position, resulted in William while Acting Prime Minister proposing no new policies and taking on little executive leadership, acting mostly as a "rubber stamp" for the Emperor's decisions on matters.<br />
<br />
Another acquisition, [[Corinium Terentium]], was annexed on 4 May later that year from the British county of Gloucestershire. Corinium Terentium was given the new status of a [[Austenasian Territory|Territory]] along with Glencrannog, land fully under Austenasian governmental control but with no inhabitants. Continuing the rapid spate of annexations, a third Town - [[Thanasia]] - joined the Empire ten days later, with [[Eritoshi, Countess of Memphis|Countess Eritoshi of Memphis]] appointed its Acting Representative, and another Territory, [[Emperorsland]], was annexed the following month. <br />
<br />
Effective Austenasian suzerainty over the Carshalton Nations [[Liberation of Orly|was reasserted on 24 June]]. A group of Orlian citizens dissatisfied with the rule of Declan I over Orly declared him deposed and asked Emperor Jonathan I to appoint monarchs of the Grove and of Copan. Returning Orly to its state before Declan I reunified it in December 2010 (that is, the Kingdom of the Grove and the Kingdom of Copan, each with a monarch appointed by the Emperor), Jonathan I was confirmed as Orly's suzerain by its citizens before appointing new monarchs to rule over it.<br />
<br />
A fourth Town, [[Palasia]], was annexed on 12 July with [[Lord John Gordon]] as its Acting Representative, bringing the Empire's population to 25. July also saw the cutting of relations with New Wessex, with the Emperor relinquishing his Wessaxon titles and giving notice that the Empire would withdraw from its alliance with New Wessex in August.<br />
<br />
16 August and 16 November also saw the annexations of [[New Richmond]] and [[Terentia]] respectively, two land claims the futures of which would be intertwined up to and after their departure from Austenasia in 2020. Both were at the time Crown Dependencies, each consisting of an uninhabited piece of property. New Richmond was the first Austenasian claim on the North American continent and would, in time, grow to be Austenasia's largest and most populated land claim.<br />
<br />
[[November 2013 Austenasian elections|A general election was held]] on 18 November 2013, with the results being announced the following day. Lord Marshal William stood against Lord John Gordon and Countess Eritoshi, with the latter elected Prime Minister with two-thirds of the vote after William dropped out and endorsed her.<br />
<br />
Between the ascension of Jonathan I to the Throne and the election of Countess Eritoshi, several legal reforms took place at the behest of the Emperor. 11 February saw the Offences Against the Person Act and the Property Act 2013 passed into law, vastly expanding the comprehensiveness of Austenasia's criminal code. The Empire of Austenasia Act 2013 (passed 4 May) introduced the distinction between [[Austenasian Town|Towns]], [[Austenasian Territory|Territories]] and [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|Crown Dependencies]] which - with the exception of the minor additions of [[Austenasian City|city status]] and [[Austenasian March|Marches]] - has remained to this day. Furthermore, the Armed Forces Act 2013 (28 August) and the Police Act 2013 (8 October) each codified into a single Act the various statutes which had built up the Austenasian military and police respectively, alongside the introduction of minor reform.<br />
<br />
Jonathan I also continued to represent the Empire abroad during this period. As well as hosting the two heads of state [[Taeglan I Nihilus, Reylan Emperor|Taeglan I Nihilus]] of [[Reyla]] and [[James von Puchow]] of [[Landashir]] at the Imperial Residence for his coronation (see above), the Emperor represented Austenasia for the week-long [[2013 Intermicronational Summit]] in Paris in July, and also hosted [[Sebastian Linden]] (then of [[Francisville]]) for a visit to Austenasia and the [[Carshalton Nations]] on 26 October 2013.<br />

<br />
As Prime Minister, Countess Eritoshi - similarly to Lord Marshal William - proposed no new policies and allowed Jonathan I to take on near total executive leadership. However, unlike the Lord Marshal, the Countess actively took on a role described by some as the Emperor's "enforcer", using her deciding vote and the prestige of her office to have legislation proposed by the Emperor passed more easily through Parliament. Eritoshi reached the height of her power and authority throughout 2014, a year during which she was simultaneously Augusta, Prime Minister, and Consul, with the first of said three positions even giving associations of co-rulership.<br />
<br />
During Countess Eritoshi's time as Prime Minister, the Empire continued the expansion it had seen under the early reign of Jonathan I. April 2014 saw the expansion of Emperorsland into the Town of [[Lichtenstein]] as the neighbouring house was annexed to the claim; Wrythe itself expanded with the annexation of [[East Wrythe]]; and the Crown Dependency of [[Shineshore]] and the Territories of [[Glencoe]] and [[Iostan na Beithe]] were claimed. The Town of [[Porthbokon]] and the Crown Dependency of [[Oregonia]] were annexed in June 2014, followed by the Crown Dependency of [[Heischierland]] in July, the [[Caldari|Caldari March]] and the Crown Dependency of [[Achem]] in December 2014, and the Town of [[Harenfall]] and Crown Dependency of [[Enfriqua]] in January 2015.<br />
<br />
Austenasia's rapid and uninterrupted growth engendered a general attitude of openness and inclusivity. An unwritten rule that "overseas" land claims were to be Crown Dependencies by default, based on the historical status of Austenasia as a "British-based nation", was abolished on 7 September 2014. On this date, New Richmond and Shineshore were both transitioned into Towns, followed by Terentia (which expanded to include a neighbouring house and its residents) the following month.<br />
<br />
Countess Eritoshi's premiership also saw the expansion of New Richmond - both geographically and in terms of influence and political prominence - with new claims being annexed to it in January, June and September 2014. New Richmond's founder, [[Brooklyn Hewitt|Lady Dux Brooklyn Hewitt]], quickly became a popular and influential politician, and was appointed to the rank of [[Caesar (Austenasia)|Caesar]] by Jonathan I to serve as his deputy in North America, holding jurisdiction over the Crown Dependencies there on his behalf. At the start of Eritoshi's term, New Richmond was an uninhabited Crown Dependency; by its end, New Richmond was the most highly populated local administrative division of the Empire, with fourteen residents living in five different houses comprising a Town the Representative of which would be her successor as Prime Minister.<br />
<br />
This period saw the government also increasingly willing to grant non-residential subjectship, a status which had previously been bestowed very sparingly. 2014 saw five different people given subjectship despite not living in Austenasia, four of whom were Governors or Governing Commissioners who administered uninhabited Austenasian land claims and for whom it was considered appropriate to be Austenasian nationals (the fourth, [[James von Puchow]], was intended to act as a high-ranking diplomat and so was likewise considered a suitable candidate for Austenasian nationality). Early 2015, however, saw non-residential subjectship granted for somewhat less necessary matters, as 28 February saw Parliament grant the status to the father and to a teacher of Countess Eritoshi at her request; the same Act of Parliament empowered the Monarch to grant the status to any two people nominated by her electoral rival Lady Hewitt in order to "balance out the numbers" for the upcoming election.<br />
<br />
By the start of 2015, the Austenasian population had tripled since the start of Eritoshi's premiership. Multiple national figures expressed the opinion that a general election was necessary, as the electorate that had chosen the Countess had become but a small portion of the Austenasian population. The Emperor concurred, and announced on 3 January 2015 that an election would be held in two months' time. On 4 February, two candidates were approved: the incumbent Countess Eritoshi, and the [[Caesar (Austenasia)|Caesar]] and military officer [[Brooklyn Hewitt|Lady Dux Brooklyn Hewitt]], founder and Representative of [[New Richmond]]. The election saw Hewitt elected Prime Minister with 68.3% of the vote.<br />
<br />
Countess Eritoshi's premiership was eventful in terms of foreign affairs for the Empire. Locally, 2 April 2014 saw Emperor Jonathan I officially crown [[Emma I of Copan|Emma I]] as [[Kingdom of Copan|Queen of Copan]] and 28 June later that year saw the bestowal of the [[The Zone (Renasia)|Zone]] to [[Renasia]], both events emphasising Austenasia's role as the bestower of legitimate authority within the [[Carshalton Nations]]. Further afield, Austenasia gained two new protected states, most notably the [[Kingdom of Wilcsland]] on 31 December 2014 after Declan I was officially deposed by and replaced with his brother [[Ptolemy II of Wilcsland|Ptolemy II]], but also the [[Principality of Sabovia]] on 27 January earlier that year.<br />
<br />
The most significant event in terms of foreign affairs during the premiership of the Countess was the [[2014 New South Scotland crisis]], during which [[Charlotte Katrínsdóttir|Queen Astrid]] of [[Zealandia]] invaded [[New South Scotland]] (NSS) whilst initially pretending she had been forced to do so by mutinous Zealandian officers, who later transpired to have been following her orders. A massive community-wide diplomatic backlash against Zealandia - both for the invasion and for the Queen's lies - resulted in Zealandia backing down. A compromise offered by Jonathan I was accepted whereby Astrid - who already autonomously administered NSS as its [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|Governing Commissioner]] - was permitted to govern NSS as a ''de facto'' part of Zealandia whilst it remained under ''de jure'' Austenasian sovereignty.<br />
<br />
===Premiership of Lady Admiral Hewitt===<br />
The premiership of [[Brooklyn Hewitt|Lady Admiral Hewitt]] - who would serve as Austenasia's longest-running Prime Minister (from March 2015 to February 2020, just short of five years) - would be marked by several significant constitutional reforms within the Empire, such as the four amendments passed via the [[2018 Austenasian Constitutional Referendum]], which established Christianity as the official state religion of the Empire (with the requirement of the Emperor to be a baptised trinitarian Christian), established the [[Senate of Austenasia|Senate]], defined marriage as between a man and a woman and made the Deputy Prime Minister appointed by the Prime Minister. Hewitt would further strengthen the office and scope of the premiership by ensuring that cabinet members were appointed on the advice of the Prime Minister, rather than directly by the Emperor. Hewitt would also be directly responsible for the recreation of the [[Imperial Navy]], although it would be once again abolished following the secession of New Virginia. The Hewitt Premiership would oversee a large expansion in the territorial scope of the Empire, with seventeen new territories being annexed to the Empire in some capacity, while 15 territories would be lost, including several formerly significant parts of the Empire, such as [[Thanasia]] and [[Zephyria]] - a key site of the [[Austenasian Civil War]], through the [[Empire of Austenasia Act 2017]]. <br />
<br />
Hewitt was also the first Prime Minister to operate her own website,<ref>[http://austenasiapm.weebly.com/ Office of the Prime Minister] Retrieved 22 December 2020</ref> although this does not seem to have been updated past late 2015. Other prominent achievements during Hewitt's premiership include the establishment of both the [[Ministry for Culture (Austenasia)|Ministry for Culture]] and [[Ministry of Justice (Austenasia)|Ministry of Justice]], with [[Adam I of Überstadt|Lord Adam von Friedeck]] serving as Austenasia's first [[Attorney General (Austenasia)|Attorney General]]. The Hewitt premiership would also oversee the introduction of a formal system of political parties via the [[Acts of Parliament in Austenasia|Political Parties Act 2018]], with Hewitt leading the [[Imperial Party]]. The [[Acts of Parliament in Austenasia|Government Accountability of Act of 2017]] would also introduce new political processes, such as a Parliamentary Gazette and quarterly ministerial reports and questions to the Prime Minister, a tradition that does not seem to have persisted past Hewitt's resignation. In terms of foreign policy, the Hewitt premiership oversaw the final resolution of the [[2014 New South Scotland crisis|New South Scotland Crisis]], with Austenasian ''de facto'' authority being restored over the territory in September 2016, with Sir Hugh McFarlane appointed as Governing Commissioner.<ref>[https://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/new-south-scotland-returned-to-austenasian-administration/ New South Scotland Returned to Austenasian Administration] ''Austenasian Times'', Retrieved 16 January 2021</ref><br />
<br />
It could be argued therefore that the Hewitt premiership was instrumental in the development of modern Austenasian identity; the loss of once key territories around Carshalton such as [[Zephyria]], compounded by the growing transcontinental nature of the Empire and the various constitutional reforms enacted under her tenure resulted in an Empire far more wedded to its sense of Roman identity and outlook and less centered around its historical base in the [[Carshalton Sector]]. The role of the Prime Minister - which had become more of a supportive role under the tenure of Countess Eritoshi - once again took on a more active and executive role in Austenasian politics, which became substantially more democratized under Hewitt. Many of the democratic processes and reforms introduced by Hewitt, such as the introduction of formal political parties and her accountability measures, would however not long outlast her premiership. Ultimately however tensions would arise as through her tenure Hewitt would become increasingly socially liberal in outlook, arguably causing a degree of friction between herself and an Empire that was becoming more culturally conservative, ultimately leading to her desire to split from Austenasia altogether.<br />
<br />
====Secession of New Virginia====<br />
[[File:Flag of New Virginia.svg|thumb|right|The flag of the independent Commonwealth of New Virginia following its secession from Austenasia]]<br />
{{Main|Secession of New Virginia}}<br />
In spite of Hewitt being overwhelmingly re-elected with nearly 87% of the popular vote in the [[2019 Austenasian general election|February 2019 general election]], there was a growing sense of political and cultural distance between the territories of [[Terentia]], [[Augusta]] and [[New Richmond]] (of which Hewitt was a resident and representative) and the rest of the Empire, especially on social issues. This issue was compounded with the refusal of [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Emperor Jonathan I]] to give Imperial assent to legislation to provide for the institution of civil unions for same-sex couples, a policy that had been strongly supported in all three territories. By mid-2019, discussions had began to take place between [[Elizabeth Lewis]], [[Brooklyn Hewitt]] and [[K. Riley Hewitt]] regarding the secession of their three respective towns, with the date of secession proposed for early 2020.<br />
<br />
On 27 September 2019 Prime Minister Hewitt approached the Emperor and informed him of the desire of the three towns to secede and form an independent republic. On Christmas Day that same year the Emperor announced the upcoming split,<ref>[https://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2019/12/25/emperor-announces-changes-for-2020-in-christmas-broadcast/ Emperor announces changes for 2020 in Christmas broadcast] ''Austenasian Times'', Retrieved 22 December 2020</ref> with the date of secession later announced as the 11th of February 2020.<ref>[https://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2020/01/11/new-virginia-to-secede-on-11-february/ New Virginia to secede on 11 February] ''Austenasian Times'', Retrieved 22 December 2020</ref> A [[Minister for New Virginian Affairs|dedicated ministry]] was developed to manage the secession, which occurred peacefully with the establishment of the [[Commonwealth of New Virginia]] at 00:00 EST on the 11th of February 2020. Hewitt would formally resign from the premiership two days later. Relations remain amicable between the Empire and its former territories in New Virginia.<br />

===Premiership of Prince Dionisiy===<br />
{{Main|2020 assumption of emergency powers by Jonathan I}}<br />
[[File:ConsulsPoster.jpg|right|thumb|The infamous propaganda poster promising to "end political barbarism" published online by the Fatherland Party]]<br />
Having the shortest term of any Austenasian premier yet (13 February - 1 June 2020), [[Alexander IV, Emperor of Pavlov|Prince Dionisiy]] is most famous for his role in the political crisis that engulfed Austenasia between May and June 2020. The crisis, triggered by a set of controversial political reforms proposed by Dionisiy that included abolishing the office of Prime Minister itself and replacing it with the [[Austenasian Consul|Consuls]], as well as a promise to put an end to "political barbarism". Amid significant internal controversy, as well as the voiced opposition of several foreign heads of state such as the [[Adam I, Emperor of Adammia|Emperor of Adammia]] and the [[Gaius Soergel Publicola|Sôgmô of Sandus]], the situation intensified to the point where Dionisiy himself prepared for almost all of the Austenasian territories associated with his [[Fatherland Party (Austenasia)|Fatherland Party]] to secede from the Empire - over half of the territory of the Empire. With divisions deepening, Emperor Jonathan [[2020 assumption of emergency powers by Jonathan I|temporarily adopted emergency powers]] on the 25th of May. Prince Dionisiy would attempt to continue on in order to heal divisions, but would ultimately find the challenge insurmountable and would subsequently resign from the office of Prime Minister on the 1st of June. Most territories linked to Prince Dionisiy would likewise leave the Empire following his resignation.<br />
<br />
In spite of the political chaos that consumed his short tenure as Prime Minister, Prince Dionisiy's time in office would ultimately prove consequential for the office, as well as Austenasian politics more broadly. In light of the crisis that emerged as a result of his proposed reforms and in an attempt to curtail growing partisan feeling and political polarization, political parties themselves would be formally abolished within the Empire.<br />
==== Territories gained under the Dionisiy premiership ====<br />
<br />

* [[Dragovina]]<br />
* [[Gebirgspark]]<br />
* [[Aleksandropol]]<br />
* [[Laranda]]<br />
* [[Seleucia ad Cilicia]]<br />
<br />
Several of these territories were relinquished on the same day as Prince Dionisiy's resignation, with the unilateral declaration of independence of [[Dragovina]] also being a direct result of the political fallout of the 2020 constitutional crisis.<br />
<br />
===Premiership of Lord Gordon===<br />
One of the most notable changes to occur in Austenasia during the opening months of the Gordon premiership would be the abolition of the [[Austenasian Army]] on the 17 of June 2020 due to the [[Acts of Parliament in Austenasia|Armed Forces Act 2020]]. With many Austenasian soldiers having being recruited over a decade earlier in the [[Austenasian Civil War]], with many perhaps unaware they were even still enlisted, a comprehensive reconstructuring of the [[Austenasian Armed Forces]] was felt necessary. In place of the army, a system of [[Imperial Guard (Austenasia)|Imperial bodyguards]] and small local units able to be raised in the event of attack was instituted. Other significant legislative changes brought into place by Lord Gordon include the Succession to the Throne Act (2020), which deferred control of the line of succession to the Senate, the Elections Act (2020) which required elections to take place every four years<ref>[[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia]] (30 November 2020) [https://austenasiantimes.wordpress.com/2020/11/30/electoral-reforms-for-general-elections/ Electoral reforms for general elections] ''Austenasian Times''. Retrieved 22 December 2020.</ref> and the Nobles Act (2020) which clarified the position and inheritance of titles of Austenasian nobility. Lord Gordon is also the first Austenasian Prime Minister to have visited the capital city of [[Wrythe]] since Countess Eritoshi.<br />

'''Gradonia''', formally the '''Kingdom of Gradonia''', is a nation landlocked within [[w:Texas|Texas]], United States. Gradonia was founded on 1 January, [[2018]] by [[William I of Gradonia|William Wilson]]<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/first-year-of-gradonia/ "First Year of Gradonia", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> and Charles Wilson.<br />
<br />
Gradonia is not currently recognized by any nation within the UN and is considered a micronation. Gradonia consists of 6 provinces. The capital city, Charlington, resides within the province of Willvian. Its current government is a Constitutional Monarchy. The highest power of the government is the King. The King serves for life and the closest living relative becomes the monarch upon abdication or death.<br />
<br />
Gradonia is primarily influenced by American, Hispanic, and Germanic cultures. One example is the widespread celebration of [[w:Cinco de Mayo|Cinco de Mayo]] and of the celebration of the various American national holidays. One of which is the more popular National Backwards Day on 31 January.<br />
<br />
While Gradonia functions as an autonomous country, the nation is an imperial estate of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] and as such considers the Emperor thereof as the state's spiritual and feudal superior.<br />

===Pre-Gradonian History===<br />
The area where Gradonia is located was first inhabited by Native American peoples approx. 10,000 years ago. The first known tribes to settle the area were the [[w:Caddo|Caddo Tribes]]. The area was first observed by Spanish explorer [[w:Cabeza de Vaca|Cabeza de Vaca]] in 1528. After the Mexican War of Independence, the land was opened to land grants by the Mexican government to Anglo settlers. The grant which included the current lands of Gradonia, would be the Burnet grant. In 1836 the land in which Gradonia currently resides became part of the [[w:Republic of Texas|Republic of Texas]]. The land would remain Texan until the [[w:Texas Annexation|Annexation of Texas]] by the United States in 1845. Then in 1860 Texas became a state of the confederacy during The Civil War Era. The land rejoined The United States of America after The Civil War until Gradonia seceded.<br />
<br />
===Era of Installation===<br />
While the State of Gradonia was first founded on 1 January there were only two citizens and no government structure. Within the first few days, the two citizens worked to gain new citizens. The first De-Facto leader was William Wilson from 1 January to 7 February 2018. This 38 day period is known as the Era of Installation. During this time the new citizens wanted to hold an election to cement a president into legitimacy. The election was held on 7 February 2018. The three main candidates were William Wilson, Ramzey Zimmerman, and Kade Hebert. There were also two independent candidates, Nathan Philipello and Lane Elliot. During the voting process, Kade Hebert brought up arguments on the matter of having a Non-Gradonian vote counter. The counter in question was Trey Corn, who was a longtime friend of all three candidates. While Mr. Hebert continued to voice his concerns, both Mr. Wilson and Ms. Zimmerman approved. Once the voting was over the ballots were counted.<br />

The newly elected President Wilson's next move was to create citizenship forms to document those who had become Gradonian citizens. Another move was to start building legislative bills and appointing Secretaries to assist in the government. The first secretaries were Kade Hebert as Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Lane Elliot as Secretary of Defense. Soon after, Secretary Hebert soon resigned from the office on 5 March. After the resignation, the President dissolved the office and took on the powers of former Secretary. Soon after the President and Secretary Elliott began a recruitment drive to gain soldiers for the Gradonian Army. Mr. Wilson then created the Charlington Press on 13 February as a private news source.<br />
<br />
Soon after the Presidential Election and the creation of the first Citizenship Forms, a political party was formed by new citizens within Gradonia. The [[Gradonian Communist Party]], at that time the Gradonian Socialist Party, was formed on 9 March 2018. President Wilson later formed the [[Gradonian Federalist Party]] to oppose the socialist party on 11 March. Within a month two more parties had formed, the [[Eco-Preservationist Party]] and the [[National Syndicalist Party]].<br />
<br />
===Era of Legislation===<br />
After the election was the Era of Legislation. During this time most of the bills and laws, such as the Gradonian Veterans Care Bill and Gradonian Foreign Policy, were passed into action. The military also grew significantly during this period. The president also expanded into the internet making contact with the [[Republic of Molossia]] and developing the national email. The President also made specific times where people could become citizens. This caused significant demand in the area, so even more limits were set to quell the demands, such as including an oath of loyalty and the Conscription Consent Form. During this time the President separated the military into the [[Gradonian Rangers]], led by Captain Brent Cook, and the [[Gradonian Marines]], led by Captain Seth Cook.<br />
<br />
===Era of Connection===<br />
The Era of Connection is mainly considered to have started during the Era of Legislation. This was a time when the president reached out to many nations including the [[Empire of Austenasia]], the [[Federation of Zenrax]], and the [[Republic of Molossia]]. This also led to the admission of Gradonia as a member state in the [[Grand Unified Micronational]]. During this time the President came into contact with three other nations landlocked within the United States. After several weeks the nations of [[The Autonomous Province of Senland]] and the now-dissolved Commonwealth Federation and Legion of Frost came to the agreement to create the [[Imperium of the Americas]]. An empire containing the nations as states. Gradonia also established relations with other nations such as [[Ikonia]], [[Essexia]], and [[New Florence]] during this time.<br />
<br />
====Imperial Statehood====<br />
Gradonia would join the [[Imperium Americana]] on 26 September [[2018]] through the Treaty of Charlington. Gradonia, holding the largest population and land area of any state in the Imperium, was decided to adopt Charlington as the imperial capital. Due to the large population and economy, Gradonia was notably the most influential of the states concerning generated revenue. This revenue was mainly collected through the taxes put in place by the Imperial gov't. Gradonia would continue to show its prosperity and value in early January when the Gradonian Community Garden, the first Imperial construction project, was completed. Gradonia would continue to support the Imperium financially through the next couple of months.<br />
<br />
In late February it was revealed that the other states were not collecting taxes as required. In the days after, the [[Gradonian Communist Party]] began to protest that the other states were not helping to provide revenues as Gradonia was. Soon after, the Party with approval from then Emperor Wilson, released an independence referendum on 9 March [[2019]]. On 14 March, the referendum passed on a 76% turnout with 23 for and 8 against secession.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/03/10/gradonian-independence-referendum-passes/ "Gradonian Independence Referendum Passes", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> Emperor Wilson would abdicate later that day to Nicholas Miranda.<br />
<br />
Since the secession of Gradonia, the Imperium has seen little diplomatic or internal activity with the exception of signing a mutual defense treaty with Gradonia and two Senate Meetings. There has been developed to abolish the Senate in favor of a system where citizens take popular votes on proposed legislation. It is inferred that the loss of Gradonia has led to the growing inactivity of the Imperium.<br />
<br />
On 27 April 2019, the Imperium Americana would be declared defunct by Emperor Miranda. After this event, the Gradonian gov't asked the now independent states of Senland and Francia if they would be interested in becoming colonies of Gradonia. On 29 and 30 May, Francia and Senland, respectively, would accept and sign a treaty of colonial jurisdiction.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/05/19/gradonian-colonial-council-created/ "Gradonian Colonial Council Created", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />
<br />
====Post-Imperial Independence====<br />
After several months of inactive diplomacy, the Gradonian Foreign Ministry discovered the existence of the [[Commonwealth of Dracul]]. After communications between Secretary Kuznetsov and Secretary Hibler, President Wilson decided to open relations with the Commonwealth. Soon after, the [[Charlington Press]] applied and was approved to open a venue in Dracul. This opening of relations between Gradonia and Dracul would lead to the introduction of Gradonia and the [[Tsardom of Phokland]]. The two states would soon sign a treaty of mutual recognition. This newfound relation would soon lead to the joint Gradonian-Phoklandian awareness campaign to spread awareness about the Houston ITC petroleum fire which threatened Dracul from 17 March to 22 March [[2019]].<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/03/19/state-of-emergency-declared-in-dracul/ "State of Emergency Declared in Dracul", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyGaEsGQ_6U " Phokland and Gradonia discuss the Emergency Situation in Dracul", Phokland News Network], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />

On 13 April, Gradonia would suffer a disaster of its own. At around noon (CST), a EF-3 tornado would touchdown in the local town of [[w:Franklin, Texas|Franklin, Texas]].<ref>[https://abc13.com/weather/ef-3-tornado-rips-through-franklin-nws-confirms/5247256/ "Large and extremely dangerous' EF-3 tornado devastates parts of Franklin", ABC13], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> The resulting power outages and lack of filtered water led to a state of emergency being declared by President Wilson.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/state-of-emergency-declared/ "State of Emergency Declared", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> After the declaration, President Wilson ordered the government to be moved from Charlington, as the capitol is dependent on both water and power through Franklin, to an undisclosed location elsewhere in Willvian. On 14 April, the President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Gradonian Marines would assist the [[w:American Red Cross|American Red Cross]] and other emergency services in relief efforts.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9cjNcaF3LE "Updates on the situation in Franklin and Gradonia", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />
<br />
===Royal Era===<br />
The Royal Era is credited to have begun on 19 July 2019, after the passing of the Monarchist referendum which began the process of shifting the government from authoritarian democracy to constitutional monarchy. On 1 August 2019, the Assembly of Parties was held to discuss the constitution and decide the next monarch.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/monarchist-referendum-passes/ "Monarchist Referendum passes", The Charlington Press], retrieved 30 July 2019</ref> In the Assembly. [[William Wilson|William I, King of Gradonia]] was voted in as king against his brother, Prince Charles, and the Secretary of Defense, Mason Elliott.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/08/02/results-of-the-assembly-of-parties/ Results of the Assembly of Parties, The Charlington Press], retrieved 5 August 2019</ref> At the beginning of the Royal era William I held absolute power until the creation of the Konlichstag, or King's Parliament, on 5 August 2019. This also led to the creation of the [[Royal Ascension date system]].<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QCAUGx06hSn4Rx7HPD-zk_27TKEHEqZ6/view?usp=sharing/ Decree I,] retrieved 5 August 2019</ref> Shortly following the beginning of the royal era, Gradonia saw the first major infrastructure change in its history. In mid-August 2019 the road known as Charlington Way, which stretched from the northern Willvian-US border to the center of Cookan, was regraded to be accessible to more than all-terrain vehicles and renamed as ''Highway 1''.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/charlington-way-a-regrade-and-upgrade/ Charlington Way, a regrade and upgrade], retrieved 4 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
Following the creation of the [[Konlichstag]] the [[c:Council of Electors Act|Council of Electors Act]] was passed which outlined the creation of a lower legislative house and the President, the authority of the said house. The first elections for the members of the council were announced to be on the [[w:Spring equinox|Spring equinox]] of [[2020]] with the election of the president happening a week after. On 1 March, King William opened the campaign season, but later put constraints on the campaigning through the 'State of Caution' declared due to concerns over COVID-19 infection,<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/03/02/campaign-season-started/ Campaign season started!], retrieved 8 March 2020</ref> which was in connection to when the government had expanded the [[Gradonian Alert System|DEFAL]] and declared the second 'State of Caution'.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/01/24/government-declares-state-of-caution-following-suspected-coronavirus-infection/ Government declares State of Caution following suspected Coronavirus infection], retrieved 10 March 2020</ref> On 21 March 2020, the first Provincial Election was held which saw the first elected legislature in Gradonia come to power. At the time, he first session was held in a majority coalition by the Federalist and Monarchist parties.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/04/06/results-of-the-election/ Results of the Election], retrieved 6 April 2020</ref><br />

==Government==<br />
{{Main|Gradonian Government}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Konlichstag.svg|thumb|200px|<center>The seal of the Konlichstag]]<br />
The government of Gradonia is a limited federal Monarchy. The head of state and government is the monarch, currently William I. The main legislative body of the Gradonian government is the Konlichstag. The Konlichstag is currently made up of six dukes representing the six provinces of Gradonia. The Judicial system is currently headed by the monarch. The primary legislative document, which some consider to be the Gradonian constitution, is the [[c:Lex Gradonum|Lex Gradonum]]<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/11/15/lex-gradonum-ratified-and-it-has-dueling/ Lex Gradonum ratified and it has Dueling?], retrieved 1 March 2020.</ref><br />
===Military===<br />
The armed forces of Gradonia currently consist of three branches, the Gradonian Foreign Legion, [[Gradonian Rangers]] and [[Gradonian Marines]]. The Gradonian Rangers can be likened to the role of the [[w:US Army|US Army]], while the Marines can be likened to the roles of the [[w:United States Navy|US Navy]]. The Rangers and the Marines both have the same rank structure and classification for ground forces, but the Marines do have differing classifications for naval forces. Currently, the highest rank in the Gradonian Military is Commander in Chair. This position can only be held by the monarch.<br />

==Geography and Climate==<br />
<br />
Gradonia is a place of diverse geography including ponds, plains, hills, and creeks. The highest point in Gradonia, Dunny's Hill, is 307&nbsp; ft. above sea level (93.57 meters). Gradonia's soil is primarily composed of clay and other silicates. The main bodies of water are situated in Willvian, Edderton, and Cookan. These ponds are used for fishing and as reservoirs for the local livestock and wildlife.<br />
<br />
The geography of Gradonia varies from province to province, specifically topography. Northern provinces, such as Willvian and Edderton are generally lacking in features, while southern provinces, such as Cookan and Cedarburg are more varied. A notable feature is an exposed bed of limestone found by Cedar Creek in the province of Cedarburg.<br />
<br />
Gradonia holds multiple bodies of water including, but not limited to, Cedar Creek, Lake Houston, and Lake Crockett. The largest standing body is Lake Houston in Cookan, while the largest flowing body is Cedar Creek which flows into the [[w:Navasota River|Navasota River]].<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
The local climate is subtropical and temperate and winters are mild with periods of low temperatures usually lasting less than two to three months. Snow and ice are extremely rare. Summers are warm and hot with occasional showers or thunderstorms being the only real variation in weather.<br />

===Environment===<br />
<br />
The environment of Gradonia is mostly explored, but nearly untouched, wilderness. The only regular changes which affect the greater Gradonian ecosystem are infrastructure improvements, border maintenance, and invasive species control operations. Much of the flora and fauna are native to the Gradonian area and are protected. The ecosystem of Gradonia falls within the [[w:Oak Savannah|Midwestern Oak Savannah]] biome.<ref>Nuzzo, V.A. 1986. Extent and status of Midwest oak savanna: presettlement and 1985. Natural Areas Journal 6: 6-36.</ref><br />
<br />
====Flora====<br />

[[File:Gradonia Oak.JPG|thumb|200px|<center>A [[w:Live Oak|Live Oak]] in southern Willvian</center> ]]<br />
The plant life of Gradonia is diverse ranging from grasses to large hardwood trees such as the [[w:Live Oak|Live Oak]]. Many arborous flora are hardwoods while some are also coniferous. Some notable conifers are the [[w:Juniperus virginiana|Eastern Red Cedar]], [[w:Juniperus ashei|Mountain Cedar]], and [[w:Pinus taeda|Loblolly Pine]]. A tree species deemed invasive by the Gradonian government is the [[w:Diospyros virginiana|Eastern Persimmon]]. This species was deemed responsible for disappearance of the native [[w:Paspalum notatum|Bahia Grass]] from some areas.<br />
<br />
====Fauna====<br />
<br />
The animal life of Gradonia, much like the plate life, is very diverse. Most animals are insects, mostly herbivorous. Larger, more notable animals include the [[w:Armadillo|Armadillo]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/dillo/ Nine-banded Armadillo, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> [[w:Virginia Opossum|Virginia Opossum]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/oposum/ Virginia Opossum, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> [[w:White Tailed Deer|White Tailed Deer]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/regs/animals/white-tailed-deer/ White-tailed Deer, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> and [[w:Scissortailed Flycatcher|Scissortailed Flycatcher]].<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/scissorfly/ Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> Many animals in Gradonia are herbivores and omnivores, but there are some exceptions.<br />
<br />
=====Terrestrial=====<br />
[[File:Gradonia Armadillo.JPG|thumb|200px|<center>An [[w:Armadillo|Armadillo]] in northern Cedarburg</center> ]]<br />
Most terrestrial fauna in Gradonia are quadrupeds. Exceptions to this are the insect population. It is estimated that 87 percent of terrestrial animals are herbivores and omnivores, the other percentage being carnivorous. The largest observable population of carnivores in Gradonia are of [[w:Coyote|Coyotes]].<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/coyote/ Coyote, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
=====Aquatic=====<br />
<br />
All aquatic fauna in Gradonia are freshwater dwelling. Most aquatic animals are carnivorous and some are classified as scavengers under that category. A notable example of this is the [[w:Channel catfish|Catfish]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/ccf/ Channel Catfish, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> which feeds off of remains of other animals found at the bottom of the body of water it inhabits, leading to the colloquialism of 'Bottom-feeder'.<br />
<br />
=====Avian=====<br />
<br />
All avian fauna in Gradonia is bipedal. Most avian animals are omnivorous while some, like the aquatic fauna, are carnivorous scavengers. Of these, the most prevalent is the [[w:Black vulture|Vulture]],<ref>[http://museum2.utep.edu/chih/theland/animals/birds/coragypsatratus.htm/ Black Vulture, University of Texas at El Paso], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> or commonly referred to in the US and Gradonia as a 'Buzzard'.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Divisions==<br />
[[File:Gradonia provinces.svg|thumb|200px|{{ubl|'''The Contiguous Provinces of Gradonia'''|{{colorbox|#00205B}} Willvian|{{colorbox|#FFCC00}} Edderton|{{colorbox|#FF6600}} Cookan|{{colorbox|#00AA00}} Haynio|{{colorbox|#BF0D3E}} Cedarburg}}]]<br />
<br />
Territory in Gradonia is divided into two categories: Provinces and Colonies. Provinces are categorized as being within a 150 Kilometer range of Charlington. Colonies are categorized as being smaller than 8.1 Hectares and outside of a 150 Kilometer radius of Charlington.<br />
<br />
===Provinces===<br />
All provinces of Gradonia currently are landlocked within the United States' state of Texas and share a border with each other. Provinces are administered either directly by the King or by a Duke or Governor.<br />
<br />
====Cedarburg====<br />
Cedarburg is the southernmost province in Gradonia. This province is named after Cedar Creek, which runs close to the province's southern border with the US. The province has two roads running within it: Charlington Way and Jeske Avenue. Cedarburg's primary land use is livestock agriculture, nut and fruit orchards. Cedarburg is a popular destination for kayaking due to Cedar creek's proximity and speed during the spring rains.<br />
<br />
Cedarburg has the largest continuous border with the US. This has led to the most funding being put into this province for border control than any other. The largest projects coming from this funding was after there were multiple reports from both Gradonian and American cattle owners about livestock crossing the border. An official investigation was started to find the breach in the border fence. After a three-hour search, a seven-foot (2 meters) gap was found caused by a fallen tree. The tree, being on Gradonian soil, was quickly disposed of and the gap repaired. The total expenses of the repair totaled 42 Dokars (US$21).<br />
<br />
Inter-Provincial commerce is common between Cedarburg and Willvian. Cattle, Pecans, and Persimmons are regularly transported from Cedarburg. While Willvian sends Cattle feed, grains, and Dewberries. There are on average, 10 to 12 transports of this manner a week in Gradonia. There have been discussions to open a new road running from Edderton, through Haynio, and ending in Cedarburg to decrease the dependence on Charlington Way for transportation.<br />
<br />
====Cookan====<br />
Cookan is a Province situated between Cedarburg, Edderton and Cookan. This province was named after the brother's Brent and Seth Cook for their service to the Gradonian Military. It has two roads running in it: Charlington Way and Jeske Avenue. Cedarburg's primary land use is livestock agriculture and fruit orchards.<br />
<br />
Cookan has the largest length of the seasonal Cook's Creek, which begins in Lake Houston, Willvian and ends in Lake Crockett, Cookan. This is considered a seasonal creek due to being 3 feet (.91 meters) in depth only between mid-March to mid-June and mid-September to early November.<br />
<br />
====Edderton====<br />
<br />
Edderton is the northernmost, contiguous province of Gradonia. This province is named after the co-founder of Gradonia, Eddie Wilson. There are currently no roads running in Edderton, but there are a number of ATV accessible paths. Edderton's primary land use is for livestock, fruit produce, and water reservoirs.<br />
<br />
Like Cedarburg, Edderton has a large US border and open access to the American Dilly Shaw Tap Rd. A dispute between an American rancher and Gradonian Orchardist on the harvesting rights of a Persimmon tree. The dispute began when the Gradonian Orchardist, Ethan Arnett, discovered that the laden Persimmon had been already picked. In response, Mr. Arnett hung a sign around a branch stating, "Edderton Acres Co. tree". The aforementioned rancher claimed afterward the fruit was hanging over the border into American territory, while Mr. Arnett claimed that the tree was rooted in Gradonia that he had rights to the produce. The dispute was ended when the rancher conceded to the point of where the tree was rooted.<br />
<br />
[[File:Edderton ants.jpg|thumb|200px|<center>An entrance to the colony of ants in the wildlife refuge.</center>]]<br />
Edderton currently has one large body of water, Lake Parker, named after Chief of the Comanche Quanah Parker. This is a popular swimming and recreational paddle boating area. The lake was dedicated a national park on 13 May 2018. In September 2019, a section of Edderton was made the [[c:Edderton Wildlife Refuge Act|Edderton Wildlife Refuge]] due to the discovery of a colony of Red Harvester Ants.<br />
<br />
====Haynio====<br />
<br />
Haynio is the smallest Gradonian province, occupying only 22 Acres (8.9 Hectares). Haynio is situated between Cedarburg and Edderton and has the smallest border with the US.<br />
<br />
Haynio is named after Pvt. Tyler Haney, who defended the President during the [[30/5]] attack. Haynio has the largest clay deposit found in Gradonia. This deposit is mostly used for pottery and filling soil for washed out sections of different roads. There is a small wooded area in the south-central area of Haynio that holds the highest concentration of Pecan Trees in Gradonia.<br />
<br />
There are no bodies of water or other unique land formations within Haynio.<br />
<br />
====New Hesse====<br />
<br />
New Hesse is the northernmost Gradonian province and shares the most borders with other nations than any other province.<br />
<br />
New Hesse is named after the German region of [[w:Hesse|Hesse]], as many Gradonians claim heritage from the region. The province is primarily a barren plain with a small grove of trees in the north. The province borders [[Baustralia]]. [[Ikonia]], and formerly the [[Socialist State of Paloma|Paloma]].<ref>[https://commons.micronations.wiki/wiki/Fourth_Decree_of_William_I,_King_of_Gradonia/ Fourth Decree of William I], retrieved 4 March 2020</ref><br />
<br />
====Willvian====<br />
<br />
Willvian is the government center of Gradonia holding the capitol city of Charlington. Willvian is situated between the provinces of Edderton and Cookan.<br />
<br />
Willvian is named after the founder, the first president of Gradonia, William Wilson. Willvian is the economic and utility center of Gradonia, boasting a well, generator, the beginning of Charlington Way.<br />
<br />
===Colonies===<br />
----<br />
All colonies are landlocked within the United States. All colonies, excepting the Colony of Jackson, are administered by a Governor-General. The legislative body governing all the colonies is the Colonial Council.<br />
<br />
====Colony of Francia====<br />
<br />
The Colony of Francia was the most urbanized and populated colony, boasting 13 subjects. The colony was formerly a state in the [[Imperium Americana]]. The Colony of Francia seceded from Gradonia in 2020.<br />
<br />
====Colony of Jackson====<br />
<br />
The Colony of Jackson is the smallest and least populated colony only having 2 subjects and 1 permanent resident. The colony was originally claimed during Gradonia's imperial statehood during the Era of Connection. The colony boasts Fort. McLaughlin, the only official military installation in Gradonia. In November 2018, President Wilson would declare the colony and inspect the fort.<br />

==Economy==<br />
<br />
Gradonia has a mixed economy with most businesses and institutions being owned by the private sector, but with education and utilities being provided by the state. Most businesses are agriculture or service based. Some notable private companies are the [[Charlington Press]], Edderton Acres, Edderton Jams and Jellies, and Willvian Printing. These companies, while privately owned are funded by the provincial governments.<br />
<br />
The Gradonian National Bank is the public and reserve bank of Gradonia. The bank is directly under the Department of Economics and is responsible for the regulation and distribution of the Dokar, the Gradonian currency. The Dokar is currently the only recognized currency in Gradonia and is pegged to the US Dollar at a 2:1 ratio. The Secretary of Economics, Ashton Jeske, currently oversees all production of the Dokar and its anti-counterfeit measures.<br />
<br />
The Gradonian Museum of Natural History is also an integral part of the Gradonian economy, drawing in, on average, 10 to 15 Dokars every year.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/02/25/museum-of-gradonia/ "Museum of Gradonia", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />

'''Gradonia''', formally the '''Kingdom of Gradonia''', is a nation landlocked within [[w:Texas|Texas]], United States. Gradonia was founded on 1 January, [[2018]] by [[William I of Gradonia|William Wilson]]<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/first-year-of-gradonia/ "First Year of Gradonia", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> and Charles Wilson.<br />
<br />
Gradonia is not currently recognized by any nation within the UN and is considered a micronation. Gradonia consists of 6 provinces. The capital city, Charlington, resides within the province of Willvian. Its current government is a Constitutional Monarchy. The highest power of the government is the King. The King serves for life and the closest living relative becomes the monarch upon abdication or death.<br />
<br />
Gradonia is primarily influenced by American, Hispanic, and Germanic cultures. One example is the widespread celebration of [[w:Cinco de Mayo|Cinco de Mayo]] and of the celebration of the various American national holidays. One of which is the more popular National Backwards Day on 31 January.<br />
<br />
While Gradonia functions as an autonomous country, the nation is an imperial estate of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] and as such considers the Emperor thereof as the state's spiritual and feudal superior.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Pre-Gradonian History===<br />
The area where Gradonia is located was first inhabited by Native American peoples approx. 10,000 years ago. The first known tribes to settle the area were the [[w:Caddo|Caddo Tribes]]. The area was first observed by Spanish explorer [[w:Cabeza de Vaca|Cabeza de Vaca]] in 1528. After the Mexican War of Independence, the land was opened to land grants by the Mexican government to Anglo settlers. The grant which included the current lands of Gradonia, would be the Burnet grant. In 1836 the land in which Gradonia currently resides became part of the [[w:Republic of Texas|Republic of Texas]]. The land would remain Texan until the [[w:Texas Annexation|Annexation of Texas]] by the United States in 1845. Then in 1860 Texas became a state of the confederacy during The Civil War Era. The land rejoined The United States of America after The Civil War until Gradonia seceded.<br />
<br />
===Era of Installation===<br />
While the State of Gradonia was first founded on 1 January there were only two citizens and no government structure. Within the first few days, the two citizens worked to gain new citizens. The first De-Facto leader was William Wilson from 1 January to 7 February 2018. This 38 day period is known as the Era of Installation. During this time the new citizens wanted to hold an election to cement a president into legitimacy. The election was held on 7 February 2018. The three main candidates were William Wilson, Ramzey Zimmerman, and Kade Hebert. There were also two independent candidates, Nathan Philipello and Lane Elliot. During the voting process, Kade Hebert brought up arguments on the matter of having a Non-Gradonian vote counter. The counter in question was Trey Corn, who was a longtime friend of all three candidates. While Mr. Hebert continued to voice his concerns, both Mr. Wilson and Ms. Zimmerman approved. Once the voting was over the ballots were counted.<br />

The newly elected President Wilson's next move was to create citizenship forms to document those who had become Gradonian citizens. Another move was to start building legislative bills and appointing Secretaries to assist in the government. The first secretaries were Kade Hebert as Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Lane Elliot as Secretary of Defense. Soon after, Secretary Hebert soon resigned from the office on 5 March. After the resignation, the President dissolved the office and took on the powers of former Secretary. Soon after the President and Secretary Elliott began a recruitment drive to gain soldiers for the Gradonian Army. Mr. Wilson then created the Charlington Press on 13 February as a private news source.<br />
<br />
Soon after the Presidential Election and the creation of the first Citizenship Forms, a political party was formed by new citizens within Gradonia. The [[Gradonian Communist Party]], at that time the Gradonian Socialist Party, was formed on 9 March 2018. President Wilson later formed the [[Gradonian Federalist Party]] to oppose the socialist party on 11 March. Within a month two more parties had formed, the [[Eco-Preservationist Party]] and the [[National Syndicalist Party]].<br />
<br />
===Era of Legislation===<br />
After the election was the Era of Legislation. During this time most of the bills and laws, such as the Gradonian Veterans Care Bill and Gradonian Foreign Policy, were passed into action. The military also grew significantly during this period. The president also expanded into the internet making contact with the [[Republic of Molossia]] and developing the national email. The President also made specific times where people could become citizens. This caused significant demand in the area, so even more limits were set to quell the demands, such as including an oath of loyalty and the Conscription Consent Form. During this time the President separated the military into the [[Gradonian Rangers]], led by Captain Brent Cook, and the [[Gradonian Marines]], led by Captain Seth Cook.<br />
<br />
===Era of Connection===<br />
The Era of Connection is mainly considered to have started during the Era of Legislation. This was a time when the president reached out to many nations including the [[Empire of Austenasia]], the [[Federation of Zenrax]], and the [[Republic of Molossia]]. This also led to the admission of Gradonia as a member state in the [[Grand Unified Micronational]]. During this time the President came into contact with three other nations landlocked within the United States. After several weeks the nations of [[The Autonomous Province of Senland]] and the now-dissolved Commonwealth Federation and Legion of Frost came to the agreement to create the [[Imperium of the Americas]]. An empire containing the nations as states. Gradonia also established relations with other nations such as [[Ikonia]], [[Essexia]], and [[New Florence]] during this time.<br />
<br />
====Imperial Statehood====<br />
Gradonia would join the [[Imperium Americana]] on 26 September [[2018]] through the Treaty of Charlington. Gradonia, holding the largest population and land area of any state in the Imperium, was decided to adopt Charlington as the imperial capital. Due to the large population and economy, Gradonia was notably the most influential of the states concerning generated revenue. This revenue was mainly collected through the taxes put in place by the Imperial gov't. Gradonia would continue to show its prosperity and value in early January when the Gradonian Community Garden, the first Imperial construction project, was completed. Gradonia would continue to support the Imperium financially through the next couple of months.<br />
<br />
In late February it was revealed that the other states were not collecting taxes as required. In the days after, the [[Gradonian Communist Party]] began to protest that the other states were not helping to provide revenues as Gradonia was. Soon after, the Party with approval from then Emperor Wilson, released an independence referendum on 9 March [[2019]]. On 14 March, the referendum passed on a 76% turnout with 23 for and 8 against secession.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/03/10/gradonian-independence-referendum-passes/ "Gradonian Independence Referendum Passes", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> Emperor Wilson would abdicate later that day to Nicholas Miranda.<br />
<br />
Since the secession of Gradonia, the Imperium has seen little diplomatic or internal activity with the exception of signing a mutual defense treaty with Gradonia and two Senate Meetings. There has been developed to abolish the Senate in favor of a system where citizens take popular votes on proposed legislation. It is inferred that the loss of Gradonia has led to the growing inactivity of the Imperium.<br />
<br />
On 27 April 2019, the Imperium Americana would be declared defunct by Emperor Miranda. After this event, the Gradonian gov't asked the now independent states of Senland and Francia if they would be interested in becoming colonies of Gradonia. On 29 and 30 May, Francia and Senland, respectively, would accept and sign a treaty of colonial jurisdiction.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/05/19/gradonian-colonial-council-created/ "Gradonian Colonial Council Created", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />
<br />
====Post-Imperial Independence====<br />
After several months of inactive diplomacy, the Gradonian Foreign Ministry discovered the existence of the [[Commonwealth of Dracul]]. After communications between Secretary Kuznetsov and Secretary Hibler, President Wilson decided to open relations with the Commonwealth. Soon after, the [[Charlington Press]] applied and was approved to open a venue in Dracul. This opening of relations between Gradonia and Dracul would lead to the introduction of Gradonia and the [[Tsardom of Phokland]]. The two states would soon sign a treaty of mutual recognition. This newfound relation would soon lead to the joint Gradonian-Phoklandian awareness campaign to spread awareness about the Houston ITC petroleum fire which threatened Dracul from 17 March to 22 March [[2019]].<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/03/19/state-of-emergency-declared-in-dracul/ "State of Emergency Declared in Dracul", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyGaEsGQ_6U " Phokland and Gradonia discuss the Emergency Situation in Dracul", Phokland News Network], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />

[[File:Grad Tornado Roof.JPG|thumb|200px|Gradonian Marines fixing a roof of a Franklin resident (Franklinite)]]<br />
On 13 April, Gradonia would suffer a disaster of its own. At around noon (CST), a EF-3 tornado would touchdown in the local town of [[w:Franklin, Texas|Franklin, Texas]].<ref>[https://abc13.com/weather/ef-3-tornado-rips-through-franklin-nws-confirms/5247256/ "Large and extremely dangerous' EF-3 tornado devastates parts of Franklin", ABC13], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> The resulting power outages and lack of filtered water led to a state of emergency being declared by President Wilson.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/state-of-emergency-declared/ "State of Emergency Declared", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref> After the declaration, President Wilson ordered the government to be moved from Charlington, as the capitol is dependent on both water and power through Franklin, to an undisclosed location elsewhere in Willvian. On 14 April, the President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Gradonian Marines would assist the [[w:American Red Cross|American Red Cross]] and other emergency services in relief efforts.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9cjNcaF3LE "Updates on the situation in Franklin and Gradonia", The Charlington Press], retrieved 22 May 2019</ref><br />
<br />
===Royal Era===<br />
The Royal Era is credited to have begun on 19 July 2019, after the passing of the Monarchist referendum which began the process of shifting the government from authoritarian democracy to constitutional monarchy. On 1 August 2019, the Assembly of Parties was held to discuss the constitution and decide the next monarch.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/monarchist-referendum-passes/ "Monarchist Referendum passes", The Charlington Press], retrieved 30 July 2019</ref> In the Assembly. [[William Wilson|William I, King of Gradonia]] was voted in as king against his brother, Prince Charles, and the Secretary of Defense, Mason Elliott.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/08/02/results-of-the-assembly-of-parties/ Results of the Assembly of Parties, The Charlington Press], retrieved 5 August 2019</ref> At the beginning of the Royal era William I held absolute power until the creation of the Konlichstag, or King's Parliament, on 5 August 2019. This also led to the creation of the [[Royal Ascension date system]].<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QCAUGx06hSn4Rx7HPD-zk_27TKEHEqZ6/view?usp=sharing/ Decree I,] retrieved 5 August 2019</ref> Shortly following the beginning of the royal era, Gradonia saw the first major infrastructure change in its history. In mid-August 2019 the road known as Charlington Way, which stretched from the northern Willvian-US border to the center of Cookan, was regraded to be accessible to more than all-terrain vehicles and renamed as ''Highway 1''.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/charlington-way-a-regrade-and-upgrade/ Charlington Way, a regrade and upgrade], retrieved 4 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
Following the creation of the [[Konlichstag]] the [[c:Council of Electors Act|Council of Electors Act]] was passed which outlined the creation of a lower legislative house and the President, the authority of the said house. The first elections for the members of the council were announced to be on the [[w:Spring equinox|Spring equinox]] of [[2020]] with the election of the president happening a week after. On 1 March, King William opened the campaign season, but later put constraints on the campaigning through the 'State of Caution' declared due to concerns over COVID-19 infection,<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/03/02/campaign-season-started/ Campaign season started!], retrieved 8 March 2020</ref> which was in connection to when the government had expanded the [[Gradonian Alert System|DEFAL]] and declared the second 'State of Caution'.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/01/24/government-declares-state-of-caution-following-suspected-coronavirus-infection/ Government declares State of Caution following suspected Coronavirus infection], retrieved 10 March 2020</ref> On 21 March 2020, the first Provincial Election was held which saw the first elected legislature in Gradonia come to power. At the time, he first session was held in a majority coalition by the Federalist and Monarchist parties.<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2020/04/06/results-of-the-election/ Results of the Election], retrieved 6 April 2020</ref><br />
==Government==<br />
{{Main|Gradonian Government}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Konlichstag.svg|thumb|200px|<center>The seal of the Konlichstag]]<br />
The government of Gradonia is a limited federal Monarchy. The head of state and government is the monarch, currently William I. The main legislative body of the Gradonian government is the Konlichstag. The Konlichstag is currently made up of six dukes representing the six provinces of Gradonia. The Judicial system is currently headed by the monarch. The primary legislative document, which some consider to be the Gradonian constitution, is the [[c:Lex Gradonum|Lex Gradonum]]<ref>[https://thecharlingtonpress.wordpress.com/2019/11/15/lex-gradonum-ratified-and-it-has-dueling/ Lex Gradonum ratified and it has Dueling?], retrieved 1 March 2020.</ref><br />
===Military===<br />
The armed forces of Gradonia currently consist of three branches, the Gradonian Foreign Legion, [[Gradonian Rangers]] and [[Gradonian Marines]]. The Gradonian Rangers can be likened to the role of the [[w:US Army|US Army]], while the Marines can be likened to the roles of the [[w:United States Navy|US Navy]]. The Rangers and the Marines both have the same rank structure and classification for ground forces, but the Marines do have differing classifications for naval forces. Currently, the highest rank in the Gradonian Military is Commander in Chair. This position can only be held by the monarch.<br />

==Geography and Climate==<br />
<br />
Gradonia is a place of diverse geography including ponds, plains, hills, and creeks. The highest point in Gradonia, Dunny's Hill, is 307&nbsp; ft. above sea level (93.57 meters). Gradonia's soil is primarily composed of clay and other silicates. The main bodies of water are situated in Willvian, Edderton, and Cookan. These ponds are used for fishing and as reservoirs for the local livestock and wildlife.<br />
<br />
The geography of Gradonia varies from province to province, specifically topography. Northern provinces, such as Willvian and Edderton are generally lacking in features, while southern provinces, such as Cookan and Cedarburg are more varied. A notable feature is an exposed bed of limestone found by Cedar Creek in the province of Cedarburg.<br />
<br />
Gradonia holds multiple bodies of water including, but not limited to, Cedar Creek, Lake Houston, and Lake Crockett. The largest standing body is Lake Houston in Cookan, while the largest flowing body is Cedar Creek which flows into the [[w:Navasota River|Navasota River]].<br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
The local climate is subtropical and temperate and winters are mild with periods of low temperatures usually lasting less than two to three months. Snow and ice are extremely rare. Summers are warm and hot with occasional showers or thunderstorms being the only real variation in weather.<br />

===Environment===<br />
<br />
The environment of Gradonia is mostly explored, but nearly untouched, wilderness. The only regular changes which affect the greater Gradonian ecosystem are infrastructure improvements, border maintenance, and invasive species control operations. Much of the flora and fauna are native to the Gradonian area and are protected. The ecosystem of Gradonia falls within the [[w:Oak Savannah|Midwestern Oak Savannah]] biome.<ref>Nuzzo, V.A. 1986. Extent and status of Midwest oak savanna: presettlement and 1985. Natural Areas Journal 6: 6-36.</ref><br />
<br />
====Flora====<br />
[[File:Bluebonnet1.jpg|thumb|200px|<center>The first [[w:Bluebonnet|Bluebonnet]] bloom of [[2020]]</center> ]]<br />
[[File:Gradonia Oak.JPG|thumb|200px|<center>A [[w:Live Oak|Live Oak]] in southern Willvian</center> ]]<br />
The plant life of Gradonia is diverse ranging from grasses to large hardwood trees such as the [[w:Live Oak|Live Oak]]. Many arborous flora are hardwoods while some are also coniferous. Some notable conifers are the [[w:Juniperus virginiana|Eastern Red Cedar]], [[w:Juniperus ashei|Mountain Cedar]], and [[w:Pinus taeda|Loblolly Pine]]. A tree species deemed invasive by the Gradonian government is the [[w:Diospyros virginiana|Eastern Persimmon]]. This species was deemed responsible for disappearance of the native [[w:Paspalum notatum|Bahia Grass]] from some areas.<br />
<br />
====Fauna====<br />
<br />
The animal life of Gradonia, much like the plate life, is very diverse. Most animals are insects, mostly herbivorous. Larger, more notable animals include the [[w:Armadillo|Armadillo]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/dillo/ Nine-banded Armadillo, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> [[w:Virginia Opossum|Virginia Opossum]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/oposum/ Virginia Opossum, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> [[w:White Tailed Deer|White Tailed Deer]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/regs/animals/white-tailed-deer/ White-tailed Deer, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> and [[w:Scissortailed Flycatcher|Scissortailed Flycatcher]].<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/scissorfly/ Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> Many animals in Gradonia are herbivores and omnivores, but there are some exceptions.<br />
<br />
=====Terrestrial=====<br />
[[File:Gradonia Armadillo.JPG|thumb|200px|<center>An [[w:Armadillo|Armadillo]] in northern Cedarburg</center> ]]<br />
Most terrestrial fauna in Gradonia are quadrupeds. Exceptions to this are the insect population. It is estimated that 87 percent of terrestrial animals are herbivores and omnivores, the other percentage being carnivorous. The largest observable population of carnivores in Gradonia are of [[w:Coyote|Coyotes]].<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/coyote/ Coyote, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
=====Aquatic=====<br />
<br />
All aquatic fauna in Gradonia are freshwater dwelling. Most aquatic animals are carnivorous and some are classified as scavengers under that category. A notable example of this is the [[w:Channel catfish|Catfish]],<ref>[https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/ccf/ Channel Catfish, Texas Parks and Wildlife], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> which feeds off of remains of other animals found at the bottom of the body of water it inhabits, leading to the colloquialism of 'Bottom-feeder'.<br />
<br />
=====Avian=====<br />
<br />
All avian fauna in Gradonia is bipedal. Most avian animals are omnivorous while some, like the aquatic fauna, are carnivorous scavengers. Of these, the most prevalent is the [[w:Black vulture|Vulture]],<ref>[http://museum2.utep.edu/chih/theland/animals/birds/coragypsatratus.htm/ Black Vulture, University of Texas at El Paso], retrieved 10 March 2020.</ref> or commonly referred to in the US and Gradonia as a 'Buzzard'.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Divisions==<br />
[[File:Gradonia provinces.svg|thumb|200px|{{ubl|'''The Contiguous Provinces of Gradonia'''|{{colorbox|#00205B}} Willvian|{{colorbox|#FFCC00}} Edderton|{{colorbox|#FF6600}} Cookan|{{colorbox|#00AA00}} Haynio|{{colorbox|#BF0D3E}} Cedarburg}}]]<br />
<br />
Territory in Gradonia is divided into two categories: Provinces and Colonies. Provinces are categorized as being within a 150 Kilometer range of Charlington. Colonies are categorized as being smaller than 8.1 Hectares and outside of a 150 Kilometer radius of Charlington.<br />
<br />
===Provinces===<br />
All provinces of Gradonia currently are landlocked within the United States' state of Texas and share a border with each other. Provinces are administered either directly by the King or by a Duke or Governor.<br />
<br />
====Cedarburg====<br />
Cedarburg is the southernmost province in Gradonia. This province is named after Cedar Creek, which runs close to the province's southern border with the US. The province has two roads running within it: Charlington Way and Jeske Avenue. Cedarburg's primary land use is livestock agriculture, nut and fruit orchards. Cedarburg is a popular destination for kayaking due to Cedar creek's proximity and speed during the spring rains.<br />
<br />
Cedarburg has the largest continuous border with the US. This has led to the most funding being put into this province for border control than any other. The largest projects coming from this funding was after there were multiple reports from both Gradonian and American cattle owners about livestock crossing the border. An official investigation was started to find the breach in the border fence. After a three-hour search, a seven-foot (2 meters) gap was found caused by a fallen tree. The tree, being on Gradonian soil, was quickly disposed of and the gap repaired. The total expenses of the repair totaled 42 Dokars (US$21).<br />
<br />
Inter-Provincial commerce is common between Cedarburg and Willvian. Cattle, Pecans, and Persimmons are regularly transported from Cedarburg. While Willvian sends Cattle feed, grains, and Dewberries. There are on average, 10 to 12 transports of this manner a week in Gradonia. There have been discussions to open a new road running from Edderton, through Haynio, and ending in Cedarburg to decrease the dependence on Charlington Way for transportation.<br />
<br />
====Cookan====<br />
Cookan is a Province situated between Cedarburg, Edderton and Cookan. This province was named after the brother's Brent and Seth Cook for their service to the Gradonian Military. It has two roads running in it: Charlington Way and Jeske Avenue. Cedarburg's primary land use is livestock agriculture and fruit orchards.<br />
<br />
Cookan has the largest length of the seasonal Cook's Creek, which begins in Lake Houston, Willvian and ends in Lake Crockett, Cookan. This is considered a seasonal creek due to being 3 feet (.91 meters) in depth only between mid-March to mid-June and mid-September to early November.<br />
<br />
====Edderton====<br />
<br />
Edderton is the northernmost, contiguous province of Gradonia. This province is named after the co-founder of Gradonia, Eddie Wilson. There are currently no roads running in Edderton, but there are a number of ATV accessible paths. Edderton's primary land use is for livestock, fruit produce, and water reservoirs.<br />
<br />
Like Cedarburg, Edderton has a large US border and open access to the American Dilly Shaw Tap Rd. A dispute between an American rancher and Gradonian Orchardist on the harvesting rights of a Persimmon tree. The dispute began when the Gradonian Orchardist, Ethan Arnett, discovered that the laden Persimmon had been already picked. In response, Mr. Arnett hung a sign around a branch stating, "Edderton Acres Co. tree". The aforementioned rancher claimed afterward the fruit was hanging over the border into American territory, while Mr. Arnett claimed that the tree was rooted in Gradonia that he had rights to the produce. The dispute was ended when the rancher conceded to the point of where the tree was rooted.<br />
<br />
[[File:Edderton ants.jpg|thumb|200px|<center>An entrance to the colony of ants in the wildlife refuge.</center>]]<br />
Edderton currently has one large body of water, Lake Parker, named after Chief of the Comanche Quanah Parker. This is a popular swimming and recreational paddle boating area. The lake was dedicated a national park on 13 May 2018. In September 2019, a section of Edderton was made the [[c:Edderton Wildlife Refuge Act|Edderton Wildlife Refuge]] due to the discovery of a colony of Red Harvester Ants.<br />
<br />

Most businesses are agriculture or service based. Some notable private companies are the [[Charlington Press]], Edderton Acres, Edderton Jams and Jellies, and Willvian Printing. These companies, while privately owned are funded by the provincial governments.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Prime Minister of Austenasia''' is the head of government of the [[Empire of Austenasia]]. The Prime Minister is elected by the subjects of Austenasia in a General Election, to ordinarily be held every four years, the precise date of which to be specified by the [[Austenasian Monarchy|Monarch]]. Representatives wishing to stand for election must first be made Candidates by the Monarch. Although there is no hard limit on serving consecutive terms, a Prime Minister who has served more than seven of the past eight years in office cannot stand for re-election without a vote of approval from the House of Representatives.<br />
<br />
The founding Prime Minister of Austenasia was [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|HIH Crown Prince Jonathan]]. The Crown Prince was re-elected in General Elections in January 2009 and [[December 2011 Austenasian General Election|December 2011]], but was replaced with his deputy [[Lord Marshal William]] as Acting Prime Minister in January 2013 when he became Monarch as Emperor Jonathan I. Four more Prime Ministers have held office since, including the incumbent [[William I of Gradonia|Lord William Wilson]], who was elected in September 2021.<br />
<br />
==Constitutional role==<br />
<br />
Under the Constitution, the Monarch may not be Prime Minister; this law is to ensure that no person has absolute power within the Empire. Although the Monarch can become a Representative ([[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Jonathan I]] has for almost all of his reign been Representative of [[Wrythe]]), they cannot therefore make themselves a Candidate. If the Prime Minister inherits the Throne, they must either refuse it or stand down and make the [[Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia|Deputy Prime Minister]] the Acting Prime Minister. This led to the ascension of [[Esmond III, Emperor of Austenasia|Esmond III]] to the Throne when Crown Prince Jonathan refused to stand down as Prime Minister after the [[Terry I abdication crisis|abdication of Terry I]].<br />
<br />
The main role of the Prime Minister is to oversee the activities of the [[Cabinet of Austenasia|Cabinet]] and co-ordinate the work of its ministers, and to act as the voice and public face of the elected Austenasian government. The Prime Minister holds several other powers, including the deciding vote in the case of a tie by the [[House of Representatives (Austenasia)|House of Representatives]]. The Prime Minister is also one of the two choices for Regent should the [[Austenasian Monarchy|Monarch]] be a minor or incapacitated.<br />
<br />
The Prime Minister is constitutionally barred from being a member of the [[Austenasian Senate]]. However, the Prime Minister nominates a member of the Senate, who serves as a Senator at their discretion.<br />
<br />
Under the Austenasian Constitution of 2008, the Prime Minister was considered by far the most powerful position in Austenasia. However, from mid-2010 the position started to become more equal in power with that of the Monarch, and since the enactment of the Austenasian Constitution of 2011, the Monarch has been indisputably more powerful. The role and powers of the Prime Minister did not significantly change (although they were more precisely defined) over 2009-11, but this subordination to the Throne was instead the result of an increased influence of the Monarch over Austenasian politics.<br />

A '''micronational state visit''' is a formal visit by a [[head of state]] (sometimes [[w:head of government|head of government]]) to a foreign [[micronation]], at the invitation of the head of state of that foreign micronation, with the latter also acting as the official host for the duration of the state visit. Speaking for the host, it is generally called a state reception. State visits are considered to be the highest expression of friendly bilateral relations between two micronational states, and are in general characterised by an emphasis on official public ceremonies. Few micronational state visits have taken place.<br />

'''His Majesty William Gordon Fowler Wilson <small>I</small>''', is the first King of [[Kingdom of Gradonia|Gradonia]]. He is a co-founder and had been the first and only President of Gradonia. He also serves as a Consul in the Konlichstag in his capacity as sovereign. He was formerly a Gradonian politician during his tenure as President. One of his main political contributions was the foundation of the [[Gradonian Federalist Party]]. Aside from Gradonian politics, William has also been involved in a number of other nations associated with the [[MicroWiki nations|Microwiki community]]. A notable example of his political involvement outside of Gradonia is [[Austenasia]], where he serves as [[Prime Minister of Austenasia|Prime Minister]], and [[Secretary-General (Austenasia)|Secretary-General]]. He also formerly served as [[Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia|Deputy Prime Minister]], [[Speaker of the House of Representatives (Austenasia)|Speaker of the House of Representatives]], and [[Home Secretary (Austenasia)|Home Secretary]].<br />
==Early life==<br />
<br />
William was born to then First Lieutenant, Jonathan William Wilson and Nicole Elaine Wilson in [[w:Shreveport|Shreveport]], Louisiana at 9:02&nbsp;p.m. CDT, 31 December 2002. After living in Shreveport for two years, Wilson would depart with his family for [[w:Kadena Air Base|Kadena Air Force Base]]. His brother, Charles Eddie Payne Wilson, would be born in [[w:Okinawa|Okinawa]], Japan on 24 August 2006. After living in [[w:Japan|Japan]] for three years, William and his family would again depart. They would resume residence in the [[w:United States of America|United States]] in April, [[2008]]. The Wilsons would live in [[w:Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville, Tennessee]] for five years. While in the state, William would begin his formal education at Pleasant View Elementary School and would commit himself to Christ through baptism at First Baptist Church of Joelton. William’s sister, Noelle Elaine Wilson would be born in Nashville on 28 December [[2012]]. Shortly after the birth of his sister, William would move to [[w:Poquoson|Poquoson, Virginia]]. Within three more years his family would move again, to the state of [[w:Texas|Texas]].<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
After moving to Texas, William would develop an interest in different government styles and structures as well as political ideologies. In 2018, William and his brother, Charles, would found the [[State of Gradonia]]. The development of Gradonia would be the primary concern until March 2018 when he would discover the [[Micronational Assembly]]. This organization brought Gradonia into the Era of Connection and began William's career outside of Gradonia. In mid-June, Gradonia would be an observer to an event known as the 'Fascist Scourge' within the Assembly. This was mainly connotative to the rise of ultra-nationalism and authoritarian governments. William continued to keep Gradonia neutral but would capitalize on the event with the [[Charlington Press]] by doing late-night interviews with the leaders of nations part of the 'scourge'.<br />
<br />
Soon after, in August, Gradonia would be a candidate to be a council nation for the Micronational Assembly Council in the southwest region of the elections. This would be a landslide victory for Gradonia. William would serve as Councilman for the region and propose an overhaul of the Assembly Charter, which had not been amended since 2017. In October [[2018]] the Chairman of the Assembly, Nicholas Miranda, would resign and give his position to William. Under the Wilson administration, the Assembly saw new changes that saw the clean-up of the admittance procedure and land claiming by member states. Soon into the administration, news broke that [[w:Google+|Google+]], the platform that the Assembly operated on, was going to be shut down in August 2019. This news would change shortly before [[w:Christmas|Christmas]] when the date was moved up to 2 April. Chairman Wilson called for the moving of the Assembly from Google+ to [[w:Discord (software)|Discord]]. He would later step down as chairman after the February 2019 MA elections.<br />

==Concerning an award==<br />
Howdy. I am writing this in response to my receiving the "Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Medal". While I understand the thought behind honoring the memory of a person who left such a large impact on the lives of so many people, I must inform you that I refuse to hold, make claim to have received, or wear such a medal. Again, I can respect the intent of the award, but I do not want nor appreciate my actions -which constitute simply a continued effort to enjoy a personal hobby- being compared to those of the late monarch. May this find you well, [[User:William GF Wilson|Billiam Bilson]] 03:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)<br />

The '''2023 Atovian parliamentary election''' took place from 14-18 April 2023 ''(16-20 [[Atovian Decimal calendar|Zehnat]] 06)'' to elect the [[Members of the 6th Parliament of Atovia|6th House of Commons]] of the [[Kingdom of Atovia]]. The election was called in accordance with the [[Basic Law of Atovia|Basic Law]] and elected five Members of Parliament. The voting system used according to the Basic Law is the [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] and members are elected in a multi-seat at-large electorate.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservative People's Party]] has held a majority in the House since the [[2022 Atovian parliamentary election|2022 parliamentary election]].<br />
<br />
According to the Atovian Basic Law, parliamentary elections are to be held at least every twelve months. On 7 March 2023, the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates of the election, after which the campaign began.<br />
<br />
==Electoral system==<br />
Members of the [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] were elected by [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] (STV) from a single at-large electorate with five seats. Voters complete a ballot, listing candidates in order of their preference. There is also an option for [[None of These Candidates]] (NoTC), which is a way for voters to show that they do not approve of some or all of the candidates on the ballot. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. The ballots are then counted by computer under supervision of the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] and the candidates standing for election. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts using [[w:Counting single transferable votes#Meek|Meek's method]] to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.<br />
<br />
==Campaign==<br />
[[File:CPP Poster1.svg|thumb|A campaign poster published by the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|CPP]] prior to the election|200px]]<br />
The campaign began on 7 March 2023 when the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates for the election. The [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] was prorogued before the election began. Nomination of candidates closed on 4 April. At the end of the nomination period, there were six candidates: three from the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservatives]], two from the [[Left-Green Movement (Atovia)|Left-Greens]], and one [[Independent]]. The [[New Democratic Party (Atovia)|New Democratic Party]] declined to field any candidates for this election.<br />
<br />
==Polling==<br />
Opinion polls on voting intentions are conducted regularly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and by other media and polling firms. The chart below depicts the results of opinion polls since the announcement of the election.<br />
<br />
Poll data is listed in the table below in reverse chronological order. The highest percentage figure in each poll is displayed in bold, and its background is shaded in the leading party's color. The "lead" column shows the percentage point difference between the two parties with the highest figures.

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

The '''2023 Atovian parliamentary election''' took place from 14-18 April 2023 ''(16-20 [[Atovian Decimal calendar|Zehnat]] 06)'' to elect the [[Members of the 6th Parliament of Atovia|6th House of Commons]] of the [[Kingdom of Atovia]]. The election was called in accordance with the [[Basic Law of Atovia|Basic Law]] and elected five Members of Parliament. The voting system used according to the Basic Law is the [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] and members are elected in a multi-seat at-large electorate.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservative People's Party]] has held a majority in the House since the [[2022 Atovian parliamentary election|2022 parliamentary election]].<br />
<br />
According to the Atovian Basic Law, parliamentary elections are to be held at least every twelve months. On 7 March 2023, the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates of the election, after which the campaign began.<br />
<br />
==Electoral system==<br />
Members of the [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] were elected by [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] (STV) from a single at-large electorate with five seats. Voters complete a ballot, listing candidates in order of their preference. There is also an option for [[None of These Candidates]] (NoTC), which is a way for voters to show that they do not approve of some or all of the candidates on the ballot. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. The ballots are then counted by computer under supervision of the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] and the candidates standing for election. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts using [[w:Counting single transferable votes#Meek|Meek's method]] to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.<br />
<br />
==Campaign==<br />
[[File:CPP Poster1.svg|thumb|A campaign poster published by the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|CPP]] prior to the election|165px]]<br />

The [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] was prorogued before the election began. Nomination of candidates closed on 4 April. At the end of the nomination period, there were six candidates: three from the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservatives]], two from the [[Left-Green Movement (Atovia)|Left-Greens]], and one [[Independent]]. The [[New Democratic Party (Atovia)|New Democratic Party]] declined to field any candidates for this election.<br />
<br />

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

The '''2023 Atovian parliamentary election''' took place from 14-18 April 2023 ''(16-20 [[Atovian Decimal calendar|Zehnat]] 06)'' to elect the [[Members of the 6th Parliament of Atovia|6th House of Commons]] of the [[Kingdom of Atovia]]. The election was called in accordance with the [[Basic Law of Atovia|Basic Law]] and elected five Members of Parliament. The voting system used according to the Basic Law is the [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] and members are elected in a multi-seat at-large electorate.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservative People's Party]] has held a majority in the House since the [[2022 Atovian parliamentary election|2022 parliamentary election]].<br />
<br />
According to the Atovian Basic Law, parliamentary elections are to be held at least every twelve months. On 7 March 2023, the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates of the election, after which the campaign began.<br />
<br />
==Electoral system==<br />
Members of the [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] were elected by [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] (STV) from a single at-large electorate with five seats. Voters complete a ballot, listing candidates in order of their preference. There is also an option for [[None of These Candidates]] (NoTC), which is a way for voters to show that they do not approve of some or all of the candidates on the ballot. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. The ballots are then counted by computer under supervision of the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] and the candidates standing for election. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts using [[w:Counting single transferable votes#Meek|Meek's method]] to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.<br />
<br />
==Campaign==<br />
[[File:CPP Poster1.svg|thumb|A campaign poster published by the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|CPP]] prior to the election|165px]]<br />
The campaign began on 7 March 2023 when the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates for the election. The [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] was prorogued before the election began. Nomination of candidates closed on 4 April. At the end of the nomination period, there were six candidates: three from the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservatives]], two from the [[Left-Green Movement (Atovia)|Left-Greens]], and one [[Independent]]. The [[New Democratic Party (Atovia)|New Democratic Party]] declined to field any candidates for this election.<br />
<br />
==Polling==<br />
Opinion polls on voting intentions are conducted regularly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and by other media and polling firms. The chart below depicts the results of opinion polls since the announcement of the election.<br />
<br />
Poll data is listed in the table below in reverse chronological order. The highest percentage figure in each poll is displayed in bold, and its background is shaded in the leading party's color.

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

The '''2023 Atovian parliamentary election''' took place from 14-18 April 2023 ''(16-20 [[Atovian Decimal calendar|Zehnat]] 06)'' to elect the [[Members of the 6th Parliament of Atovia|6th House of Commons]] of the [[Kingdom of Atovia]]. The election was called in accordance with the [[Basic Law of Atovia|Basic Law]] and elected five Members of Parliament. The voting system used according to the Basic Law is the [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] and members are elected in a multi-seat at-large electorate.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservative People's Party]] has held a majority in the House since the [[2022 Atovian parliamentary election|2022 parliamentary election]].<br />
<br />
According to the Atovian Basic Law, parliamentary elections are to be held at least every twelve months. On 7 March 2023, the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates of the election, after which the campaign began.<br />
<br />
==Electoral system==<br />
Members of the [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] were elected by [[w:single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] (STV) from a single at-large electorate with five seats. Voters complete a ballot, listing candidates in order of their preference. There is also an option for [[None of These Candidates]] (NoTC), which is a way for voters to show that they do not approve of some or all of the candidates on the ballot. Voters may mark as many or as few preferences as they wish. The ballots are then counted by computer under supervision of the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] and the candidates standing for election. Each ballot is initially credited to its first-preference candidate but may be transferred on later counts using [[w:Counting single transferable votes#Meek|Meek's method]] to the next available preference where the first preference candidate is elected or eliminated.<br />
<br />
==Campaign==<br />
[[File:CPP Poster1.svg|thumb|A campaign poster published by the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|CPP]] prior to the election|175px]]<br />
The campaign began on 7 March 2023 when the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Atovia)|Minister of Internal Affairs]] announced the dates for the election. The [[House of Commons (Atovia)|House of Commons]] was prorogued before the election began. Nomination of candidates closed on 4 April. At the end of the nomination period, there were six candidates: three from the [[Conservative People's Party (Atovia)|Conservatives]], two from the [[Left-Green Movement (Atovia)|Left-Greens]], and one [[Independent]]. The [[New Democratic Party (Atovia)|New Democratic Party]] declined to field any candidates for this election.<br />
<br />
==Polling==<br />
Opinion polls on voting intentions are conducted regularly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and by other media and polling firms. The chart below depicts the results of opinion polls since the announcement of the election.<br />
<br />
Poll data is listed in the table below in reverse chronological order. The highest percentage figure in each poll is displayed in bold, and its background is shaded in the leading party's color.

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

==Government formation==<br />
With five MPs in the 6th Parliament, three MPs were needed to form a government. The Conservatives took three seats in the election, so it is likely that they will govern as a majority government under the same Prime Minister as the last government. [[Tobey Wyles]] is expected to be appointed as Prime Minister for a second government, in which new ministers will be appointed.<br />

The '''Cabinet of the Empire of Austenasia''' is the body of Government Ministers responsible for the executive administration and governance of Austenasia, composed of the [[Prime Minister of Austenasia|Prime Minister]] and up to seven other individual Government Ministers. Government Ministers are appointed by the [[Austenasian Monarchy|Monarch]] (usually from the [[House of Representatives (Austenasia)|House of Representatives]]) and head Government Ministries, of which there are six. The [[Secretary-General (Austenasia)|Secretary-General]] does not head a Government Ministry but is a Government Minister responsible for administrative duties, comparable to a one-man civil service. The Prime Minister oversees the work of the Cabinet and co-ordinates the work of the Government Ministers; the [[Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia|Deputy Prime Minister]] is not officially a member of Cabinet but is often ''de facto'' treated as such due to their position as the Prime Minister's deputy.<br />
<br />
On 4 March 2015, immediately after the [[March 2015 Austenasian general election|the election]] of [[Brooklyn Hewitt|Lady Dux Brooklyn Hewitt]] as Prime Minister, Emperor Jonathan I passed his sixteenth [[Imperial Edicts (Austenasia)|Imperial Edict]], pledging to only appoint Cabinet positions at the advice of the Prime Minister. This was in direct response to an election platform of Hewitt, and was later entrenched in the Second Amendment to the [[Austenasian Constitution of 2011]].<br />
<br />
The Cabinet is based heavily on the [[w:Cabinet of the United Kingdom|British body of the same name]]. As such, as a collective it holds great executive power and is comprised of different ministers each holding separate portfolios. The current Cabinet of Austenasia is comprised of:<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Vishwamitra nobility''' comprises of Vishwamitran individuals or families recognized as noble in the [[State of Vishwamitra]]. The system of nobility in Vishwamitra is unique as compared to the other nobilities existing in the society. Individuals are conferred with noble ranks which consist of a three grade structure with dukes being the highest, followed by counts and then barons. It is noteworthy that members of the royal families are barred from holding a noble rank.<br />
<br />
The nobility does not, however, provide any social privileges or benefits to the conferees. It is a ceremonial rank bestowed by the sovereign to recognize the contributions of the individuals towards the nation.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In December 2020, a two member committee was constituted by [[Dhrubajyoti Roy, Rashtradhyaksh of Vishwamitra]] to deliberate on the creation of a nobility system in the nation. Subsequently, the members of the committee, [[Isaiah I of Burdette|Isaiah David]] and [[Alexander I Constantine of Monmark|David Augustus]], both of whom became dukes later, submitted their report on the establishment of the nobility. Their inputs were effectively adopted and decreed by the Rashtradhyaksh through his royal decree. <br />
<br />
On 28 October 2022, through yet another royal decree, the Rashtradhyaksh introduced significant changes and amendments to the system of nobility. As a result of the changes, all the nobles were to drop the territorial designations from their titles and only use their noble rank as a prefix to their names. <br />
<br />
In addition to this, the spouses of the nobles were to use the title of consort before their names. For instance, a male spouse of a duke will be titled as Duke Consort, while a female spouse of a Duke will be titled as Duchess Consort.<br />
<br />
==Noble ranks==<br />
From the time of establishment, a three tier noble structure had existed in the nation. All the titles are for life or until revoked or renounced. The titles are conferred by royal decrees or equivalent royal orders issued by the [[Rashtradhyaksh]] in connection with the [[Privy Council of Vishwamitra|privy councils]]. Citizens are recognized with noble ranks for their most valuable contributions and extraordinary services to the nation. In addition to citizens, foreigners can also be conferred with honorary noble ranks in the nation.<br />

<br />
The title of '''Duke''' is the highest noble rank in use in Vishwamitra. They are ranked below the royals styled as "Highness". It is customarily conferred on senior statesmen and other notable individuals whose services have highly benefitted the state and to those who have rendered significant personal services to the monarch. The dukes are entitled to use the style of ''"[[w:Grace (style)|Grace]]"''. [[National Artist of Vishwamitra|National Artists]] are conferred with the rank of a duke as well.<br />
<br />
The title of '''Count''' is the second highest noble rank after the duke. The rank of a count is usually conferred on members of the government, members of the privy council and sometimes to foreigners whose contributions are highly worthy and recognized but not as much as required for one to be a duke. The counts are entitled to use the style of ''"[[w:The Right Honourable|The Right Honourable]]"''.<br />
<br />
The title of '''Baron''' is the junior-most noble rank in use and the most conferred noble rank. It is conferred upon ordinary individuals as well in recognition of their services in various fields of human endeavour. The barons are entitled to use the style of ''"[[w:The Right Honourable|The Right Honourable]]"''.<br />

'''His Majesty William Gordon Fowler Wilson <small>I</small>''', is the first King of [[Kingdom of Gradonia|Gradonia]]. He is a co-founder and had been the first and only President of Gradonia. He also serves as a Consul in the Konlichstag in his capacity as sovereign. He was formerly a Gradonian politician during his tenure as President. One of his main political contributions was the foundation of the [[Gradonian Federalist Party]]. Aside from Gradonian politics, William has also been involved in a number of other nations associated with the [[MicroWiki nations|Microwiki community]]. A notable example of his political involvement outside of Gradonia is [[Austenasia]], where he serves as [[Prime Minister of Austenasia|Prime Minister]], and [[Secretary-General (Austenasia)|Secretary-General]]. He also formerly served as [[Deputy Prime Minister of Austenasia|Deputy Prime Minister]], [[Speaker of the House of Representatives (Austenasia)|Speaker of the House of Representatives]], and [[Home Secretary (Austenasia)|Home Secretary]].<br />
==Early life==<br />
<br />
William was born to then First Lieutenant, Jonathan William Wilson and Nicole Elaine Wilson in [[w:Shreveport|Shreveport]], Louisiana at 9:02&nbsp;p.m. CDT, 31 December 2002. After living in Shreveport for two years, Wilson would depart with his family for [[w:Kadena Air Base|Kadena Air Force Base]]. His brother, Charles Eddie Payne Wilson, would be born in [[w:Okinawa|Okinawa]], Japan on 24 August 2006. After living in [[w:Japan|Japan]] for three years, William and his family would again depart. They would resume residence in the [[w:United States of America|United States]] in April, [[2008]]. The Wilsons would live in [[w:Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville, Tennessee]] for five years. While in the state, William would begin his formal education at Pleasant View Elementary School and would commit himself to Christ through baptism at First Baptist Church of Joelton. William’s sister, Noelle Elaine Wilson would be born in Nashville on 28 December [[2012]]. Shortly after the birth of his sister, William would move to [[w:Poquoson|Poquoson, Virginia]]. Within three more years his family would move again, to the state of [[w:Texas|Texas]].<br />
<br />
==Micronational career==<br />
After moving to Texas, William would develop an interest in different government styles and structures as well as political ideologies. In 2018, William and his brother, Charles, would found the [[State of Gradonia]]. The development of Gradonia would be the primary concern until March 2018 when he would discover the [[Micronational Assembly]]. This organization brought Gradonia into the Era of Connection and began William's career outside of Gradonia. In mid-June, Gradonia would be an observer to an event known as the 'Fascist Scourge' within the Assembly. This was mainly connotative to the rise of ultra-nationalism and authoritarian governments. William continued to keep Gradonia neutral but would capitalize on the event with the [[Charlington Press]] by doing late-night interviews with the leaders of nations part of the 'scourge'.<br />
<br />
Soon after, in August, Gradonia would be a candidate to be a council nation for the Micronational Assembly Council in the southwest region of the elections. This would be a landslide victory for Gradonia. William would serve as Councilman for the region and propose an overhaul of the Assembly Charter, which had not been amended since 2017. In October [[2018]] the Chairman of the Assembly, Nicholas Miranda, would resign and give his position to William. Under the Wilson administration, the Assembly saw new changes that saw the clean-up of the admittance procedure and land claiming by member states. Soon into the administration, news broke that [[w:Google+|Google+]], the platform that the Assembly operated on, was going to be shut down in August 2019. This news would change shortly before [[w:Christmas|Christmas]] when the date was moved up to 2 April. Chairman Wilson called for the moving of the Assembly from Google+ to [[w:Discord (software)|Discord]]. He would later step down as chairman after the February 2019 MA elections.<br />

'''''The New Virginian Herald''''', colloquially referred to as '''''The Herald''''', is a [[Commonwealth of New Virginia|New Virginian]] independent periodic newspaper published on [[w:Wordpress|Wordpress]]. It was founded in January [[2020]] by [[Brooklyn Hewitt]] and [[Elizabeth Lewis]] to report on events regarding the secession of New Virginia from the [[Empire of Austenasia]], with the eventual goal of becoming the new Commonwealth's leading newspaper.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
''The Herald'' was initially devised as a local newspaper for the Austenasian City of New Richmond and the Towns of Terentia and [[Augusta]] by Brooklyn Hewitt and Elizabeth Lewis in [[2019]], however the paper wasn't established until the [[Parliament of Austenasia|Imperial Parliament]] enacted the New Virginia Act 2020 which granted New Virginia independence. The first article published by ''The Herald'', ''"Hewitt orders election for Provisional Council of New Virginia"'', was published on 13 January 2020.<br />

Dear Microwiki,<br />
I feel as if Glastievia is spamming the front news headlines and is reporting on intermicronational issues that have already been posted on the headlines. It makes it really annoying when you want to see new news, not old news.<br />

The '''Foreign Office of Austenasia''' (formerly known as the '''Ministry of Foreign Affairs''') is the government body responsible for maintaining [[Foreign relations of Austenasia|diplomatic relations with other nations]] and for representing and promoting the interests of the [[Empire of Austenasia]] internationally. The Foreign Office was originally known as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when it was founded by Act 21 of the [[Parliament of Austenasia|Austenasian Parliament]] on 13 November 2008, but was renamed to the Foreign Office on 21 February 2009 by Act 59 (Government Ministries).<br />
<br />
The Foreign Office is run by the [[Chief Ambassador (Austenasia)|Chief Ambassador]], a position which has been held by [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|the Emperor]] since October 2017. The Foreign Office has numerous diplomats assigned to various states, regions and organisations; these are appointed by the Chief Ambassador, who through holding that office holds responsibility for relations with all nations and peoples that do not have a specifically designated diplomat. The function of ambassadors and consuls in countries which do not recognise Austenasia is simply to raise awareness of the Empire's existence within the country they have been assigned to and to represent the Empire to regional or national authorities should it be necessary.<br />
<br />
==Embassies==<br />
[[File:Pakistanembassy.jpg|right|350px|thumb|H.E. Tariq Zubair, Ambassador to Pakistan, outside the Austenasian Embassy.]]<br />
The Empire officially claims four properties at present as embassies and consulates. Only one Austenasian embassy - that to [[Überstadt]] - is accredited by the host state, but said embassy is also the only one which is not manned by an ambassador. Austenasia claims extraterritoriality for all its embassies - the August 2015 ''Decree of Wrythe'' claimed administrative control by the Chief Ambassador (as opposed to the laws of the host state) for Austenasian embassies as a manifestation of this extraterritoriality.<br />
<br />
The currently claimed embassies of Austenasia are:<br />
<br />
*{{flagicon|Pakistan}} Embassy to Pakistan: City Plaza B-15 & 16, Gaju Khan Road, [[w:Mardan|Mardan]] - established 29 October 2015<br />
*{{flagicon|Spain}} Embassy to Spain: Calle Cordoba 3, 3B, [[w:Granada|Granada]] - established 29 October 2015<br />
*{{flagicon|Überstadt}} Embassy to Überstadt: 1C & 1D, [[Barony of Rosewood|Rosewood]] - established 10 August 2015<br />
*{{flagicon|United Kingdom}} [[Austenasian Embassy to the United Kingdom|Embassy to the United Kingdom]]: 7 Barclay House, Well Street, [[w:Hackney Central|Hackney Central]] - established 6 February 2017<br />
<br />
Austenasia currently hosts a single official embassy: the [[Kingdom of Copan]] uses [[East Wrythe]], an exclave of the capital, as a Copanese embassy. The capital was also home to [[Crepundia]], a cultural project between Austenasia and [[Juclandia]] which functioned as a form of ceremonial embassy but did not have extraterritoriality or any official diplomatic status.<br />
<br />
==Ambassadors and diplomats==<br />
===Ambassadors and consuls===<br />
[[File:Austenasianambassadors21Nov2022.png|right|350px|thumb|Countries in which are stationed Ambassadors of the Empire of Austenasia are shaded blue.]]<br />
Ambassadors are diplomats assigned to a sovereign state, whereas consuls-general and consuls are assigned to a specific region or city within a sovereign state.

The '''Treasury of Austenasia''' (formerly known as the '''Ministry of the Treasury''' and prior to that as the '''Department of the Treasury''') is the government body responsible for the finances, government income and national expenditure of the [[Empire of Austenasia]].<br />
<br />
The Treasury has the responsibility of developing and executing the national finance policy, and prior to 2013 oversaw a system of tax collection. It was also responsible for the minting of [[Three pounds (Austenasian coin)|a set of commemorative coins]] in 2018 to mark Austenasia's tenth anniversary. The Treasury is run by the [[Chancellor (Austenasia)|Chancellor]]; since September 2021, this has been [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Emperor Jonathan I]].<br />
<br />
The Treasury was originally known as the Department of the Treasury when it was founded by Act 14 of the [[Parliament of Austenasia|Austenasian Parliament]] on 8 November 2008, but was renamed to the Ministry of the Treasury by Act 31 on 13 December 2008, and then simply to the Treasury by Act 59 on 21 February 2009.<br />
<br />
The work of the Treasury has, since 28 July 2011, been carried out by specialised departments: <br />
*The Department for Income and Expenditure oversees and records money gained or spent by the government. Prior to November 2013, there were two separate departments for this function, one overseeing income (Department for Taxes) and one for expenses (Department for Expenditure).<br />
*The Department for the Treasury Money oversees the secure storage of state funds.<br />
*The Department for Commerce (renamed to such in September 2021; originally founded as the Chamber of Commerce on 8 October 2019) oversees the registration and review of Austenasian companies.<br />

The '''Home Office of Austenasia''' (originally known as the '''Ministry of Residents and Immigration''') is the government body responsible for the internal affairs of the [[Empire of Austenasia]].<br />
<br />
The Home Office has four main responsibilities. The first is maintaining contact between local authorities and the central government, and aiding the integration of new claims into the Empire. The second is registering any new residents that arrive in Austenasia and keeping a regularly updated census of all subjects and residents of Austenasia. The third is supervising the running of the [[State Intelligence Agency]], and the fourth is supervising the running of the [[Environmental Agency (Austenasia)|Environmental Agency]].<br />
<br />
The Home Office was originally known as the Ministry of Residents and Immigration when it was founded by Act 13 of the [[Parliament of Austenasia|Austenasian Parliament]] on 8 November 2008, but was renamed to the Home Office on 17 January 2009 by Act 49 when it was given authority over the Austenasian Police (which is now administered by the [[Ministry of Justice (Austenasia)|Ministry of Justice]]).<br />
<br />
The Home Office is run by the [[Home Secretary (Austenasia)|Home Secretary]]. Since August 2022, this has been [[Andrew Creed|Lord Andrew Creed]].<br />
<br />
To better co-ordinate the work of the Home Office, it also has two subordinate departments. These are the Department for the Census (created on 28 July 2011) and the Department for the Environment (created on 15 November 2016).<br />
