Bradonia, officially the Kingdom of Bradonia, was a self-proclaimed state, that was commonly referred to as a micronation. Bradonia is located within North America and is landlocked by the United States of America. Bradonia possessed territorial exclaves both in Texas and Colorado, and also possesses colonies within the Pacific Coast. Bradonia had a total land area of around 1 km², and a population of 20 making it one of the least populated and smallest states in the world.

Bradonia was originally founded and established on 9 August, 2020, as the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia, which was a highly underdeveloped and politically unstable state governed as a liberal autocracy. The Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia would ultimately be short-lived due to a political crisis that would occur only two months after its formation, which would force the nation's creator, to reorganize the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia into the Kingdom of Bradonia, a constitutional monarchy with the creator as its 1st and only king, before dissolving the nation four years later due to circumstances

Etymology

Bradonia was chosen by the creator who decided to name the country after himself, establishing the nation as the Kingdom of Bradonia. The creator decided to name the country after himself due to the sole role that he played in the foundation and establishment of Bradonia.

With cultural terminology, the terms Bradonic and Bradiotic are frequently used to describe and characterize the cultures and people living within Bradonia, alongside the commonly used term Bradonian. This is ultimately reflected in a similar manner to how in Germany, the term Germanic is frequently used to describe and characterize the cultures and people living within Germany, or in some cases is used to describe the predecessor of Germany, Germania.

History

Establishment & the Bradonian Anschlußes

The Flag of the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia

The Bradonian Realm originally, the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia, was founded and established on 9 August 2020 as a small plot of land that was located within the backyard of the Sonoma Palace. Bradonia was originally created due to the founding father of Bradonia, the creator, desiring a county to call his very own. Shortly after on the same day, the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia would annex the Sonoma Palace into the nation facing little resistance, thus beginning the First Bradonian Anschluß.

Shortly after the First Bradonian Anschluß, a provisional government would be established with the creator serving as its 1st Dictator. After begging for a position within the newly established Bradonian Provisional Government, 1st Chancellor would serve as Bradonia's 1st Chancellor. Despite the presence of the provisional government within Bradonia, it would barely convene and was considered a formality in all but name.

The provisional government, after its formation, would begin to enforce newly passed legislation that was proposed by the Dictator, which included legalizing all LGBTQ+ communities and relationships, and would also include banning religion from Bradonia due to the strong anti-Christian and strong atheist sentiments that were present within the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia at the time. Despite the de jure separation of the head of state and the head of government in Bradonia during the Liberal Autocracy, the Dictator, the creator would do much of the governing due to the Chancellor, 1st Chancellor, lacking an overall interest in governing the nation.

Although the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia, after its formation, would lay mostly in a state of dormancy for the next few weeks, it would arise out of its dormancy when an opportunity for territorial expansion resulted in the establishment of the Lukas District.

In late August, another opportunity for territorial expansion would suffice. However, this time it would occur on a road trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Dictator's father would bring a friend Duke, along for the journey. Both of these situations would provide the Dictator, the creator, a great opportunity for territorial expansion, thus beginning the Second Bradonian Anschluß. The creator was easily able to establish another territory in the Second Bradonian Anschluß. However, to his unexpected surprise, Duke of Hutto offered to join Bradonia, however, it would come at a price. Duke would ultimately join the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia, however, in exchange, he requested to be made a Duke, however, despite Bradonia not being a monarchy, the request was quickly accepted, and the Duchy of Hutto was formed as an autonomous province of the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia, with Duke being made its 1st Duke.

Transition Into Constitutional Monarchy

The Bradonian royal standard

On 8 October 2020, Chancellor Iris L. would announce her resignation from her position due to her overall lack of interest in governing Bradonia. She would temporarily be succeeded by Gabriella L., who would be briefly appointed as the Acting-Chancellor of Bradonia. Due to Iris's resignation as Chancellor, it was made very clear that the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia couldn't last much longer due to the instability and ineptness of the provisional government that was brought about by both the surprise resignation and the inability to find suitable replacements who were capable of governing.

Dictator Brayvenric, seeing no better alternatives to the situation, would ultimately make the reluctant but much-needed decision to reorganize the Liberal Autocracy of Bradonia into the Kingdom of Bradonia. The Kingdom of Bradonia would formally be established on 10 October 2020, and would formally be a constitutional monarchy with the Dictator Brayvenric being crowned as its first King. Additionally, Brayvenric would appoint Brienna L. who was already the Acting-Chancellor into the Acting-Prime Minister of Bradonia on the very same day, with the role of Chancellor being abolished for the time being.

Following Brayvenric's ascension to the newly established throne, he would attempt to schedule democratic elections and would appoint candidates to run for the newly established position of Prime Minister. These elections and how they proceeded would be heavily inspired and influenced by the 2020 US Presidential Elections, with the elections even having an "Electoral College," though it was only a formality. Iris L. and Ester L., due to being the only qualified candidates for holding political offices, would run for the position of Prime Minister; however, when Iris won the election, she would decline the premiership, saying that she'd "Rather have a dog as the Prime Minister." As a result, the Premiership would lay mostly vacant until April 2021, in which Brayvenric would "hold" the Prime Minister position, thus creating a "de facto" absolute monarchy in Bradonia, although still nominally a constitutional monarchy.

Contemperary History

On December 30th Bradonia "dissolved" as a micronation and became a personalized nation simulation, it fully dissolved as a micronation on 27 July 2024‎ after a long period of inactivity. It dissolved mainly due to the creator feeling discouraged from pursing micronationalism and the degragation of the community alongside personal events which while had not affected Bradonia directly, had disencouraged it's creator from continuing the nation.
