The '''Federated States of Gapla''', more commonly known as '''Gapla'''<ref>https://my.gaplagov.org/</ref>, is a [[micronation]] near the Western Coast of the United States. 

Gapla was established on the 28th of February 2019 and is still active. It is part of the Micronations United for Progress and the [[League of Independent Nations]]. As a federation of 24 states,<ref>https://my.gaplagov.org/about-us/</ref> it is very democratic, focuses on liberty and human rights, and believes all humans are created equal.

The Politics of Gapla include freedom of political parties movement, and an active representative government called the Parliament of the Federated States of Gapla, or more commonly known as simply Parliament.

The Federated States of Gapla focuses on the [[w:Montevideo Convention|Montevideo Convention of the Rights and Duties of States]] criteria for statehood. Under this, a nation has to fulfil four requirements to become a state (Permanent Population, A Defined Territory, Government, and Capacity to Enter in Relations with the Other States.) Although Gapla is focused on this, following these requirements does not constitute recognition by Gapla, as that needs to be approved by Parliament and the President.

==Etymology==
Gapla's name came from thin air, as the current president of the Federated States of Gapla, [[Wyatt Seungri Baek, President of Gapla|Wyatt Seungri Baek]], decided it was a good and suitable name for the micronation. The "Federated States of" part came on union day when the current president decided to (on March 6, 2019) let states unite into the union. A few months later, the name was added. 

One theory about the name was that it was the small "Gap" near "LA" (Los Angeles), because there was a small micronation that was not noticed by the United States. So, the name Gapla was formed. This was not confirmed by the President.

==History==
The Federated States of Gapla originated as the Principality of Gapla on the 28th of February, 2019, ruled by the current president. At this time, the current President was the prince and he handed out noble titles. On Union Day, new states joined in, and on Government Day, the official name changed to the Federated States of Gapla, although there was still a ceremonial monarchy.

After the name changed, states continued to join, and subdivisions of states, cities, were established. Territories were also established for small entities seeking statehood but not yet big enough for it. 

Within six months of founding, a national orchestra and website were created.

When the Coronavirus shut down the school Gapla had meetings on, online communication with other micronations and fellow citizens of Gapla increased. More citizens used the platform Discord, but there was a conflict about which platform was better, Google Hangouts or Discord. That is why many citizens use the simple Google Hangouts instead. Soon after, more diplomats joined and diplomacy grew.

Within one year of founding, a national String Quartet, App, and Chrome Extension were created.

[[File:GaplaPlusChromeExtension.png|100px]]

The Kingdom of H also joined Gapla as a city of Musicland and was significant because of its massive population of 20. The King a friend of the Musiclandian state owner Bright Li and decided to merge it into a state. Although the President tried to convince the King to merge as a state, which he thought was better for it, the King disregarded this advice and joined Musicland as a city. Soon after, another 10 member city named the Kingdom of J joined, as the kingdom was recently founded with a population of 10 by the Kingdom of H's king's friend.<ref>https://gnnn.design.blog/2020/10/14/kingdom-of-h-and-j-join-then-complications-arise/</ref>

==Meaning of the Flag==

===Basic meanings===
The flag of the Federated States of Gapla has never changed since independence. The background blue color represents the People, the red cross represents the Pride of the People, the orange represents Parliament and the Association of Ministries, and the yellow star represents the nation. The parts that are touching mean that it is affecting the other area.<ref>https://my.gaplagov.org/about-us/</ref>

===Colors of the flag===
The blue touches the red, and the orange, because the pride of the people are made from the people, and the Parliament and Association of Ministries are made of the people. Also notice that citizens themselves cannot change the nation, the star. 

The red touches all of the areas, because the pride of the people is made from the people, gives people to Parliament and the Association of Ministries, and affects the nation.

The orange represents the Parliament, which most closely touches the star. The orange also is made from the Pride of the People and the People.

This yellow star is the government, and touches everything except for the blue, because citizens cannot change the government alone. It is touching the orange because Parliament and the Association of Ministries can change the government. It is touching the red because the pride of the people can change the government.

==States and Territories==
States and Territories are parts of the Federated States of Gapla and have their own governments. They are not independent, but still enjoy the right to create their own laws, as long as they are not vetoed by the Supreme Court. The Founding States did not really create Gapla, but they were the first states to join on Union Day. Here is a list of them.

===Government===
In Gapla, the Government is left-leaning in politics because the president is part of the Liberal Union party. As a federation of 24 states, it is very democratic, focuses on the liberty and human rights, and believes all humans are created equal. Even though this is true, the freedom of political parties is exercised and cannot be denied by the president. Although, that doesn't matter, because the president supports the freedom of political parties and political expression.

The main body of Government is called the Executive Council of the Federated States of Gapla. It has power over laws, and the president. It can deny any powers of the president, and can revise laws and the constitution.

The Parliament was destroyed because of inactivity in favor of the Executive Council, as written in the Third Constitution.

===Ministries===
Ministries are parts of parliament that decide different things according to their specialty. They advise the President and the Executive Council of Gapla to do certain things, and each Minister acts like a Cabinet Member.

A list of them is below:

#Ministry of Public Welfare
#Ministry of Foreign Affairs
#Ministry of the Armed Forces
#Ministry of Defense
#Ministry of Communications
#Ministry of Operations
#Ministry of Education
#Ministry of Statistics
#Ministry of Records
#Ministry of Finance
#Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship
#Ministry of Food and Agriculture

===Eras of the state===
In Gapla, a state gets an period named after them if they are currently the most influential state. Once a state is no longer the most influential, the state's period will pass. A group of periods is an era. Here is a table showing the periods and eras of Gapla.

Many states that have an era call themselves the "Top League", although this is not official. Top League states are considered to be the most influential, even though Musicland (non Top League) has a higher rating on the index than Phoenix (Top League) as of 14 August 2020. The Gaplan Small State Representation Organization (GSSRO) requires an index score of 500 or lower to join. It opposes the Top League and wants equal representation for every state, although most states, even non Top League members and some GSSRO members, agree that it is a great impossibity.

==Religion==
Here is a chart of the approximate religious diversity in Gapla. Notice that the population is 70% Christian, 20% Hindu, 5% Other, 4% Muslim, and 1% Buddhist. The religious diversity in Gapla mainly came from western culture, where the 70% of Christianity came. The 20% of Hindus came from the influence of Indian culture on Gapla, the 4% having the minor citizens of the middle east spreading into Gapla, and Buddhism being the minority, other than the very small minorities that make up "Other."

This is mainly due to the religious diversity of Irvine, CA, which is the micronational city that Gapla is in. Racism and forced religion is almost impossible in Gapla due to the diversity, although 70% of the population of Christian.
