The Kingdom of the Dale Empire (also known as Dale Empire), Königreich Dale Reich in German speaking regions or Royaume Dale Empire in the French speaking regions was an empire situated in various locations around the world. Its capital is Dale City, a territory within the United Kingdom. The locations of the territories include: China, South Africa, the United States of America, Canada, Germany, Denmark and England, where the bulk of the territory is located.

The Dale Empire's form of government was an absolute monarchy with a few advisors. Because of this, the Dale Empire uses both an emblem and a royal coat of arms. And Denonym for a Dale citizen is a Da but is pronounced day, the term dale is also used as a denonym. The word dale from which the entire empire revolves around comes from the name of the street from which the empire originated from and the capital is located.

The Dale Empire attempted to make itself a leading nation in the use of virtual programs from military to space travel. The Dale Empire was the leading micronation in virtual space travel with the use of His Majesty's Virtual Space Agency which in it self is a micronational first with them planning to be the first micronation to land on the moon virtually.

Between the 7–8 September 2011 there was a vote on the MicroWiki forum which was decide the future of the Dale Empire as a monarchy or as a republic. However because the poll ended as a tie it was left to a random name selector which selected the Dale Republic.

History

Pre-Dale

Before The Kingdom of the Dale Empire was created, all of its territories of the micronation belonged to the pre-Dale countries. The English Dale regions which is called Dale Kingdom which were all parts of the British county of Surrey and mainly surrounding the town of Woking in the north west of the county. In Britain the area of Woking is a Conservative Party safe seat where they have been elected every election since the Woking seat was created in 1950 guaranteed.

Historic Dale

Historic dale is believed to have been founded in either 2008 or 2009 and very little is remembered about this early micronation even though it's king has not changed between Historic and Present Dale. This means the Historic Dale as its known to be is believed to have been founded 3 years before former Dale Kingdom. Placing the Dale Empire amoung some of the worlds older micronations if historic dale is included and its time of inactivity is not. Very few is remembered about Historic Dale but two things are known about this historic micronation these are that the flag remains the same for both micronations and that the Lye region and Goldsworth Park were regions in both micronations.

Modern Dale

Modern Dale was officially founded on the 22 May 2011 as the Kingdom of the Dale Empire originally consisting of Dale City, the Lye Region and Goldsworth park lake. with a further 4 regions added the next day including the other inhabited region of Dale Farm. This was further followed by 3 more days of added territory.

On the 21 June 2011 the DAE (Dale Empire) declared some forest territory on the American Canadian border. These were called Ah dale and Daleville these became the first and only territories of North America.

The third inhabited territory is Dale Port(now called Freedom Town) and it the split headquarters of the Royal Dale Navy which it shares with Dale City.

On the 13 July the declaration of the nation's independence was finished. It was decided that non-English areas of the Dale Empire would form the Dale Kingdom, independent of the Dale Empire. This declaration is still awaiting to be sent to the Jonathan Lord, the MP of Woking, the county from which the Dale Kingdom is declaring its independence from and HM Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and the Commonwealth.

On the 18 July it was decided that the Dale Empire would plan a expo for anyone to visit for of the Dale Empire's English regions. This, however, was cancelled to move focus on other things such as the Dale National Football Team and other areas in the Dale Empire.

On 19 August the official national anthem of the Dale Empire was changed from the original "We'll love our country" to one of England's National Anthems "I Vow to Thee, My Country".

Declaration of independence

On the 9th July inspired by South Sudan's independence, discussions between the king and high ranking officials began to discuss the possibility of the Dale Empire declaring its British territory independent from the rest of the United Kingdom. This was met with mainly positive responses but the main discussion was when to declare it, whether to do it now, or to wait and declare independence later.

On the 13th July it was formally agreed that the Dale Empire would declare its English territory independent from the rest of the UK but the country would call itself Dale Kingdom because it was not declaring any of its overseas territory independent. It was also decided that Dale Port would be renamed Freedom Town in celebration of the declaration.

On the 21st one day before the Dale Empire's 2 month anniversary, it was decided that the declaration would not be sent until things around the world have calmed down.

Motto	"Long last, Dale Republic"

Goverment	Federal Republic

In a Dale News Agency news report the king admitted he was willing to step down for a republic form of government but only for that republic form of government. Why he said this is not fully understood because there was no evidence that the king was or is in anyway unpopuler with his civilians and there was no evidence that any kind of protest has or could happen against his rule in the Dale Empire.

DSSR

Dale Soviet Socialist Republic
