The Free State of Östruck (abbr. ÖR) is a micronation in Galway, Ireland, led by Prime Minister Marco Hasse. The nation’s exact creation is unknown, but its current form dates to January 2021. The nation is a somewhat contradictory mixture of fascism and democracy, forming a sui generis anocracy.
Name
The name ‘Östruck’ derived from Central European decent first adopted by the First Empire of Östruck during the formation of the Empire it was said by the Emperor “Östruck shall be an Empire due to our fields, lakes and endless colonies around the world.” Östruck lost its name when the Polo Kalandian Commonwealth came along around November 2021 but after the fall the nation once again had Östruck in it.
History
Östruck was first established in September 2020 by Marco Hasse as a Monarchy. The early history of the state is largely forgotten or undocumented. Majority of Östruckan history documented from January 2021.
NGR
In September of 2020, the NGR (New Germanic Reich) was formed, it was a National Socialist state and was the earliest documented predecessor of Östruck, the NGR collapsed sometime in October 2020.
Polo-Kalandian Commonwealth
The Polo-Kalandian commonwealth was formed shortly after the collapse of the NGR, it served as a Dual Monarchy with Marco Hasse ruling over the Eastern Lands (Modern Day Östruck) and a another King ruled the west, after strong tension and a lust for power by the two kings the Commonwealth collapsed the Eastern lands turned into the Empire of Östruck (Monarchy) while the West turned into a short lived republic before getting colonised by Östruck.
Empire of Östruck (Monarchy)
The Monarchist Empire of Östruck of Late December 2020 and early January 2021 was considered by some the prime of Östruck, Marco Hasse ruled as Kaiser of the realm and most the population was content, within its Prime Östruck had 13 overseas colonies, with so many colonies rebellion started in the Western American colonies such as the Arizona Colony, which gave away its lands to three other nations splitting it into four sectors causing the Kalandian Crisis, which led to a state of war within Östruck, heavy anti Islamic Propaganda and meetings with other nations that led to drawing new borders, but till this day Östruck proclaims, that it was a unfair decision that will never be recognise in Östruck. In Early January Martin Malenkov staged a rebellion in the Florida Colony, after getting most of Östruck’s high command involved Marco Hasse put the state in a state of war and exiled the conspirators, in fear of another rebellion Östruck changed its policy to heavy National Socialism and became the Östruck Orderstaad, its politics resembled the SS State of Burgundy in “the new order:last days of europe“, a popular modification for the video game Hearts of Iron IV.

Geography and climate
The Östruckan climate is influenced by its mainland location being in Crestwood and Menlo, Galway, which are the more elevated parts of Galway. The Östruckan climate is mainly wet and cold in winter, and mildly hot in summer.
Economy
The Östruckan economy follows a planned model led by the executive branch. Currently, privately-owned companies need permission and supervision by the Östruckan Government to operate on Östruckan land, an example being the Roscami Mining Company and its operations in Henstein. Throughout most of its History the Östruckan Crown served as the Primary currency within the Empire but due to its low amount in circulation the new Temerian Oren is pushing it out of circulation.
Culture and media
Östruckan culture is mainly influenced by Eastern and Southern Slavic cultures and Germanic culture, with Irish culture being absent in the nation, uniquely in the Galway Sector.
Holidays
Christian holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, and saint days are celebrated in Östruck.
