The Kingdom of Lorgain, commonly known as the Ríocht na Lorgain or Lorgain, is a sovereign country in Europe, off the north-western coast of the continental mainland. The Kingdom includes the town of Lurgan in the island of Ireland, and Perejil Island beside Morocco. The Kingdom of Lorgain shares a land border with the Republic of Ireland.
History
2022-2023
Establishment
On 28 May 2022, Amir Gwaj and Thomas Jacobs founded a nation and decided to make the National Assembly a unicameral body with only the House of Representatives. They made it a Unitary directorial republic with Gwaj as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Brotherton as the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. Later that evening, Brotherton proposed an idea to Gwaj; to make the Council of Ministers elected by the National Assembly every year, with no term limits. He also stated "The Chairman of the Council of Ministers shall rotate every three months from the most senior member, second most, etc, and shall reset once the most junior served as Chairman", which Gwaj liked and he implemented this idea. Brotherton scheduled the first elections to the National Assembly will be held on June 20, 2022.
Commonwealth
On June 2, 2022, the chairman of the Council of Ministers spoke with Prince Terry McKean III of Arcadia about joining the Commonwealth of Arcadian Nations. The prince accepted, and Breheimen joined the Commonwealth minutes later. Gwaj made an announcement to the nation about joining.
On 3 June 2022, the Governor-General held a meeting with the Deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, Brotherton and amended the Constitution such that the Prime Minister is also chairman of the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister also chooses who can sit in the Council of Ministers instead of being elected by National Assembly. On 4 June 2022, the Governor-General changed Breheimen’s legislature to a Parliament with the House of Commons.
On 6 June 2022, the Governor-General announced that the nation would henceforth be known as An Lorgain. This was done because Breheimen had no meaning.
Arcadian War of Liberation
On June 4, 2022, the Dominion of Breheimen joined the Coalition against Zeprana, Worrell, and Averna. All three states had been disrupting the peace between New England Micronations. The leader of Zeprana separated from his main government during a civil war that resulted in four illegitimate governments being formed—including his dictatorial state. This led to an escalation into armed conflict, which has since become known as the Arcadian War of Liberation. At 9:15 PM GMT+1 on June 4, 2022—the same day the Dominion of Breheimen joined the Coalition against Zeprana, Worrell, and Averna—Meritian officials declared war on all three enemy states. The entirety of the Breheimian’s military has been put on active readiness status.
On June 4, 2022, at 11:28PM, the Arcadian Armed Forces invaded Zeprana and took over 20% of its land. So far, Zeprana has not resisted this invasion. Although the media reports that this will be an easy victory for Arcadia, officials from Zeprana have denied the invasion is taking place even with a good amount of proof.
Brehimenian Cyber Security Forces took action against vandalism on the microwiki article on June 4, 2022 at 10:03PM. The Cyber Security successfully stopped the vandalism, although new acts of vandalism have continued. On 5 June 2022, at 2:27AM, the Arcadian Coalition annexed all of the Federal Republic of Zeprana’s land, ending the war. The war had lasted less than six hours because it was clear that Arcadia’s Coalition was stronger than Zeprana and its allies.
Leaving of the Commonwealth
On the 23rd of August, 2022, the king came from a 3-4 month leave (approx.). When King Amir came back, he lost all connections with Terry Mckeen and his nation, Arcadia. Amir on his own decided to leave the Commonwealth as there were no government official to make a vote to stay or leave. The Kingdom of Lorgain restarted as a new nation with a different monarch, and a new legislature; There were two houses introduced, the House of Commons and the House of Brehe. Upon leaving, the Kingdom of Lorgain claimed an island that was disputed by Morocco and Spain. The Kingdom of Lorgain also claimed the Darsah Island.
Politics and Government
The Kingdom of Lorgain is a constitutional monarchy. It has two branches of government: the legislative and the executive. The executive branch wields more power than the legislative branch.
Executive
Selection of the Prime Minister: After any election to the Parliament, the parliament members shall make it so they will nominate someone to be their candidate for prime minister. The parliament members shall say either aye or nay to the government the prime minister has wished to form. If the parliament votes majority in favour for the Prime Minister, the Monarch shall appoint the Prime Minister and his government in name of the Monarch. The Prime Minister must serve no more than 1 year in office and can be renewable should they win again. There are only allowed two terms for the office of the Prime Minister. As of 3 June 2022 there is no Prime Minister or government.
Legislature
The Parliament is a cameral Legislature with the House of Commons and the House of Brehe. Both are currently composed of 3 seats, with currently no party taking any seat. Although a seat is reserved for the Speaker of the Parliament, it is not counted as an official seat.

Government Agencies
On August 25, 2022, Amir Gwaj opened up Lorgain Space Exploration and Research to study and photograph planets, stars, and other celestial objects. The agency does plan to launch rockets at some point in the future but for now it has focused on using telescopes. On the day of the agency's opening, it took a picture of a star 106 light years away from Earth.
Geography
Lurgan is a town in north Armagh, Ireland. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of Lough Neagh and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of Lough Neagh. When land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist but later settled where the town was eventually built. Today, the oldest part of Lurgan is its main street, which is built on a long ridge in Lurgan townland (baile fearainn). A neighbouring hill is home to Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Climate
Lurgan's climate is like that of inland areas in Ireland. In summer, temperatures can reach the mid-20s °C (mid-80s °F), and it is rare for them to go higher than 30 °C (86 °F). The humidity in Ireland—which is common throughout the country—can make temperatures feel uncomfortable when they stray into the high 20s °C (80–85 °F), more so than similar temperatures in hotter climates in the rest of Europe.

Overseas Territory
King Amir hopes to move the centre of the country to either Perejil or Darsah in 2035. It is more likely that Amir Gwaj will move to Darsah as it is not monitored very well by the countries who claim the island. Also, Darsah has a tall mountain where the Lorgain Armed Forces could base at, and it would be very easy to counter an invasion from other countries.
Perejil Island
The island is located 250 metres (820 feet) off the coast of Morocco, 3 kilometres (2 miles) from the Ceuta, Spain, border, 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) from Ceuta, and 13.5 kilometres (8.4 miles) from the mainland of Spain. The island has a size of approximately 480 by 480 metres (1,575 by 1,575 feet) and a 15 hectares (0.15 square kilometre) area (0.06 sq mi). It rises to a height of 74 metres (243 feet) at its highest point.
In the future, the Kingdom plans to permanently occupy the island. The country's economy will be powerful enough to pay for the operation in approximately 20–30 years from now.
Darsah Island
Darsah (Arabic: درسة) is an island in the Guardafui Channel, located off the coast of Yemen. It is part of the Socotra Archipelago, which is disputed by Somalia's government and Yemen's government. The Kingdom of Lorgain decided to claim it.
Economy
The Kingdom of Lorgain economy is based on the eggs of the chickens in Amir Gwaj's back garden. Amir sells the eggs to local markets for some money.
