Etymology
The name "Coglovia" originates from the state's national symbol, the cog, and its values of scientific and technological advancement.
History
Early Coglovia
Coglovia was founded on 17 November 2012; however, almost almost a month of inactivity followed until the constitution had been fully drawn up. The website was launched on the date of the foundation. The new constitution was finally completed on 16 December. The constitution was later altered to later allow editing of the constitution once monthly. The first contact with other micronations occurred on 21 December 2012.
Inactivity and New Life
During late January and early February 2013, there was inactivity in Coglovia; however, on 19 February Coglovia joined the Micronational Leaders Union, spurring the young nation back into activity. A new draft of the constitution was originally in progress; however, it was never finished due to a general lack of input from the Main Lever and the dissolution of the Micronational Leaders Union almost a month later. The project was then put on the back burner. It was then recently decided that the nation to be scraped back to its basic values and re-made from the bottom-up as, so far, there have not been enough citizens to form a government.
Government and Politics
Coglovia is an absolute monarchy, with the Main Lever as the head of the state. The current Main Lever is Main Lever Adam I. The constitution may be edited and added to every month with its ratification and announcement of changes the following day. The constitution is currently, however, under development.
Foreign Relations
Coglovia has a similar foreign policy to that of Sandus, whereby mere contact with another micronation results in immediate recognition. Coglovia currently recognises Sandus and Austenasia, which were the first micronations contacted by Coglovia. Coglovia, in return, is currently recognised by Sandus.
Culture and Values
Coglovia promotes scientific and technological development. A center of science is planned as a home for astronomy, archaeology and robotics in the future. Because Coglovia is relatively new, the culture is relatively basic. A botanical garden is to be unveiled towards the end of April with a variety of plants.
