Etymology
The name "Eintrachtia" comes from the original word "Eintracht" which means "Concord" or "Unity" in German. The original name "Eintracia" has cut the "ht" for better pronunciation, it changed back to Eintrachtia in 2022 during the Constitutional Republic Reformation to remind people the native language of which is German, as stated in the official website of Eintrachtia.
Even though Eintrachtia has always been called a "republic", throughout its history, Eintrachtia has mostly been a Constitutional Monarchist state. "Republic" is mainly because of the adoption of the "separation of powers" system in the government, making the nation more like a federal republic with a de facto monarch.
History
The Constitutional Republic of Eintrachtia was originally named the Penguins Republic, founded in 2017. It was established for entertainment purposes. The micronation was then renamed the Republic of Eintracia for a short period in 2020, before it was then renamed to what it is known today the Constitutional Republic of Eintrachtia (2022). The nation was under a imperialist system between 2020 and 2021, during the constitutional monarchist rule in the former Republic of Eintracia. Eintrachtia is also one of the founding members of the Pacific Association of Micronations (PAM).
Penguins Republic and Eintracia (2017- May 2021)
Penguins Republic was a confederal republic consisting of the Wilkes State (situated in the Wilkes Land) and a piece of land in the Antarctic Peninsula. The Penguins Republic had King John I as a de facto leader, but no official Prime Minister or Chancellor of state was elected until the establishment of Eintrachtia, so the King held the work of the Chancellor, making the King also the Chancellor of state.
In 2020, King John changed the name of the state to "Eintracia" from the German word "Eintracht" meaning unity and concord. Eintracia begin to expand its overseas territories to Portugal and the United Kingdom in July 2020, making those territories as "colonies". On 30th May 2021, the Government of Eintracia decided to move the location of the capital, Concord, from the original location in Wilkes Land to the small territory in Setubal, Portugal. On the same day, the Constitution was officially passed after 4 years of the establishment of the micronation, forming the Constitutional Republic of Eintrachtia.
