History
The event that was the first step on the road to the creation of the state of Baltia was the incorporation of the Baltic territories. This happened in unknown circumstances and time, but most likely in the second half of 2013. The main center of the Baltan state was Szczecin. The first historical ruler of Baltia was King Peter I, although later chronicles also mention the names of his ancestors.
Peter I took over the rule in the state of the Balts before 2014 and reigned until 2017 as the ruler of Langalia and the Reiona led together with Fabian I. At the beginning of the state of Balt, he concluded an alliance with Christian Poland. The most important effect of this alliance was the baptism of the Balt state by Peter I in 2016 and the imposition of the Christian religion on his state (called Langalia), which placed it in the circle of Central- Eastern civilization. The short- term consequences of Peter's decision were the arrival of the clergy to the Duchy of Szczecin, along with which a new concept of princely (later royal) power, administrative experience and the written word spread. Peter I, as the ruler of Petria, received the royal title in 2018. From the end of 2018, the Kingdom of Fabapetia was created when the tradition of having two rulers on the throne was initiated.
In 2018, after the separation of Catalonia, Republic of Goleniów was established.
In 2019, after the expiration of Republic of Goleniów, which lasted until the beginning of this year, a monarchical state called Baltia was founded. The new state was called the Tsardom of Baltia.
In 2020, on July 11, Baltia was reborn when a khachkar - a flower cross - was adopted as its emblem. At the same time, the lands of Baltia were transferred to the Balkans and the name of the lands on Balania was changed. On August 8, 2020, Baltia was revived again. At that time, the former currency - rei, was changed to kross, and the lands were additionally enlarged by the so- called BaltiaCity (today Yerushalome) and from that day the official name was the Kingdom of Baltia and Balkan. In autumn 2020, Baltia changed its name to the Grand Duchy of Baltia.
At the end of 2020, Baltia changed its political system to state communism and changed its name to the Baltish People's Republic. One day later, the system was changed again to a republic, and from that day the name of Baltia was the Republic of Baltia. When such a great change was introduced, old traditions and also two presidents were preserved in Baltia.
Several times the baltia has divided and united.
On May 2, 2022, Baltia signed a neutrality pact.
On July 22, 2024, three federal states seceded from the Republic of Baltia: Krewenian State, Buddendorf State and Tarnovique State, and the Republic of Polesca joined.
