The Archduchy of Egeria (Czech: Ohřevské arcivévodství) also known by its short-form name, Egeria^[a] (Czech: Ohřevsko) declared its independence on 27 April 2021, is a de facto autonomous region that claims to be a sovereign state, commonly known as a micronation. Located in the Czech Republic, in Central Europe. Egeria is a Constitutional monarchy with one chamber parliament, headed by Archduke Peter Simon Malček-Ohřevský. The nation is comprised of four regional territories bordering the Czech regions of Pilsen region, Carlsbad region and Ústecký Region. The total surface area of Egeria is 1,583 km² with four districts established, Carlsbad district, Sokolov district, Kraslice district and Cheb district.

The nation's capital and largest city is Carlsbad (Czech: Karlovy Vary). Egeria is ruled by House of Malček-Ohřevský.

Many similarities and history is shared with Czech republic and former Lands of Bohemian crown. Egeria uses czech language as its primary language, dispite declaring independence and having a bad political relations with its former mother state, Egeria acknowledges czech laws. However the self-determination of nation is superior than honoring mother state. On the basis of self-determination and right to choose to have any citizenship, Egeria and her citizens have made claim. Archduchy of Egeria declared independence on 27 April 2021 because of several reasons, the main reasons being political instability and national awareness.

Egeria was established as democratic parliamentary republic, but was reformed according to what happened in presidential powers crisis, when National Assembly failed to draft Constitution and at the same time taken powers of head of the state. After civil unrest National Assembly resigned and people demanded that head of the state should always have emergency powers in such cases and believed that only monarch will have enough authority to secure such emergency powers so they won`t be stripped away from him. To ensure this the Constitution was drafted to obtain article about beign Constitutional monarchy with head of state beign Archduke with powers to be lend over to government bodies and thus making them swear oath. The Constitution was officially adopted and approved on 6 June 2021, and signed by his Archducal Highness Peter S. Malcek-Ohřevský.^[b]

Egeria is developing country with almost no economic resources as it does not collect taxes and does not export any goods. However Government with help of Egerian National Bank and postal service draft plans to start the economy by first step valorizing the currency. Although archduchy has the minimum GDP it ranks high on the Human Development Index, offering social security and a Universal Healthcare system. Egeria is member state of Grand Unified Micronational and Micronational Assembly.

History

The Archduchy of Egeria was formed on 27 April 2021 by the declaration of independence by the National Assembly in the Czech Republic. There were many reasons that led to the decision to break away from the Czech Republic and these were mainly the country's strong political instability, the decline of democracy and freedom, and above all the failure to meet basic legal standards in the past. All of these factors have initiated the archduke's interest in intervening to create a new environment where citizens are not part of a collapsing state apparatus. Before it came to the actual declaration of autonomy of the Archduchy of Egeria, it fell under the territorial administration of the Czech Republic. On June 2, 2021, there was a transition from a parliamentary republic to a parliamentary monarchy through decisions by the president and the National Assembly that were pressured by citizens to end democratic crisis. The democratic tradition of an elected president has not caught on in Egeria.

Name

The name of the Archduchy of Egeria is based on the name of the Ohře river, which runs through the Ohřevsko territory and is a symbol for the whole country. The name was approved by the National Assembly. There was no official english form for the name till 19 June 2021, when it was voted on by National Assembly to use 'Egeria' as english version of 'Ohřevsko'. It was choosen because of the origion name of river that flows through country. Eger was the very first name given to Ohře river by celtic habitants.

Presidential powers crisis

Newly established Republic of Egeria in 27 April 2021 had to deal with many types of elections on different levels. First elected president was founder of nation, Peter S. Malček. Month after elections status of president has lost its authority through complicated partition of power and absence of Constitution. National Assembly was not able to draft new Constitution and presidential powers did not grant president-founder any tools to pressure National Assembly to do so. Coup was not taken into cosideredge as after few days of civil unrest National Assembly resigned and thus transfering emergency powers to president, but in the end people start to call for new regime and refused republical Constitution as of believe that head of state should be above politicians and have powers to engage if something like this happen. Thus monarchy was born by drafting Constitution obtaining article about constitutional monarchy being establish and led by Archduke with powers that would be lend to governmental bodies thus making them swear oath and giving the Archduke power to strike if needed.

Former president Peter S. Malček became the very first Archduke as people believed that he performed his office well, they wanted him to be head of state henceforward.

National Assembly was dissolved and persons responsible for, were arrested and banished from country. New elections took place on 8 June 2021 making the National Assembly to gather again with Jan Novák elected as speaker, members of National Assembly sweared the new oath and received executive powers from Archduke.

Liberation of Asotin

On 4 July 2021 the Archduchy of Egeria obtained area of Asotin in state of Washington within the campaign led by Archduke Christian Frasović to free land of Washington from influence of radical communist revolutionaries. On the same day National Assembly has resolved that Asotin will become state protectorate of Archduchy of Egeria with government established to ensure stability and root out revolutionary ideas. Furthermore Asotin's head of state will be known as protector.

Egeria enforced only diplomatical forceses upon pursuit of liberation by Christian Frasović. Area of Asotin was transfered via treaty signed by Peter S. Malček-Ohřevský and Christian Frasović.

After few days and obvious stability in Asotin, Egeria decided to withdraw from Asotin and let Asotin`s citizens to self determine their state aparatus. On 25 July 2021 Asotin is given independence and Egerian officials and protector leave the area. This decision was made by National Assembly with support of Archduke Peter Simon Malček-Ohřevský in believe that protection was no more needed as it would interfere with development in Asotin

Governance

Archduke Peter S. Malček-Ohřevský on poster

The Archduchy of Egeria is a parliamentary monarchy where the Government exercises power on behalf of the sovereign, now Archduke Peter S. Malček-Ohřevsky, who by tradition holds all the executive power. The archduke is the highest authority in the state. The state is governed by a Constitution approved by the National Assembly and the Archduke. The Government is responsible to the National Assembly and is formed by whoever is the leader of the political party that has a majority after the National Assembly elections or can win that majority within the multi-party coalition. The Archduke of the Egeria Archduchy has extensive formal powers, but his role is primarily (though not exclusively) ceremonial. He is the integral element of the assembly, and it is he who gives it, in a solemn act, the power to meet and make laws. No law goes into effect until it's signed by the Archduke. The legislative power is the National Assembly, which does not support any other form of legislature.

Legislature

The National Assembly has legislative power and has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government via hearings and inquiries. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the Egeria. It is necessary to obtain more than 50% of the vote for a law, and more than 60% of the votes for constitutional laws. The National Assembly has the power to declare a state of war and martial law. Assuming corruption or any other offense is proven to a public official, whatever position he is stripped of all mandates. The National Assembly cannot be dissolved. Any member of the Assembly may be removed.

Executive

The Government exercises executive power in the Archduchy of Egeria. The government is led by prime minister, who selects all the other ministers. The prime minister and their most senior ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet. Ministers are responsible to the National Assembly. There are at the moment 7 Ministries following: Ministry of interior, Ministry of foreign affairs, Ministry of justice, Ministry of finance, Ministry of health, Ministry of defence, Ministry of culture.

The Prime minister presides over the Government, holds the executive power that is bestowed on him through the Archduke and selects ministers and advises the sovereign in exercising much of the archdukedom's prerogative. Given that modern prime ministers hold office on the basis of their ability to command the confidence of the House of Commons, they usually sit as an MP and lead the largest party or coalition in the House.

The Archduke is a head of the state and holds executive power and is also involved in the creation of new laws, his function is to pass laws but he can also propose them. The archduke has veto power. If a bill wants to be drafted and enacted, it must get more than 50% of the vote, more than 60% for constitutional bills. The Archduke convenes a session of the National Assembly. It can issue so-called Archduke's Ordinances, which must comply with the legal system of the country, i.e. they are sub-statutory regulations.

Law and courts

The Archduchy of Egeria is unitary state, with a civil law system based on the continental type, rooted in Germanic legal culture. The basis of the legal system is the Constitution of the Archduchy of Egeria adopted in 2021. The court system includes district, county, and supreme courts and is divided into civil, criminal, and administrative branches. The Egerian judiciary has a triumvirate of supreme courts. The Constitutional Court consists of 5 constitutional judges and oversees violations of the Constitution by either the legislature or by the government. The Supreme Court is formed of 20 judges and is the court of highest appeal for most legal cases heard in the Egeria. The Supreme Administrative Court decides on issues of procedural and administrative propriety. It also has jurisdiction over certain political matters, such as the formation and closure of political parties, jurisdictional boundaries between government entities, and the eligibility of persons to stand for public office.

Political parties

Political parties are allowed. Each political party runs at the expense of state resources, and the campaign is therefore run by a state initiative, where, all conditions being met, political parties or individuals are provided with campaign funds. The own-initiative campaign is severely restricted on the grounds that every idea and agenda should be equal, regardless of whether they are a party of government or a non-parliamentary party.
