Overview

The Kingdom of Buczkovia is a micronation located in the United States, specifically Northeastern Illinois, within the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Buczkovia encompasses about 1600 square feet of land, and consists of one subdivision; Buczdomus, which is also the micronation's capital. Buczkovia was founded on January 23, 2023 by its current leader, King Anton Buczko.

Etymology

The name of Buczkovia derives from the name of Buczkovia's first and current leader, Anton Buczko. Buczkovia was named as it is in order to honor King Anton, and other members of the Buczko family. Buczdomus, Buczkovia's capital, is named for the same reason.

History

Buczkovia was created on January 23, 2023 by Anton Buczko. Anton's personal place of residence, where Buczkovia was created, was chosen to be the site of Buczkovia's first settlement, Buczdomus. Succeeding the settlement of Buczdomus, Anton was crowned as the first king of Buczkovia and the Duke of Buczdomus. Shortly after Anton's crowning, on January 24, 2023, Buczkovia's military was established. On January 25, 2023, the Buczkovian Supreme Senate (BSS), Buczkovian Foreign Relations Committee (BFC), and the Buczkovian Judiciary Senate (BJS) were implemented. Finally, on January 26, 2023, the Buckovian Medical Corps (BMC) and the Government and Welfare Corps (GWC) were added as the final branches of the Buczkovian Government.

Buczkovia's constitution was ratified on February 7th, 2024. Buczkovia's national colors are blue and yellow, and some symbols of Buczkovia include: The Buczkovian Eagle, The Buczkovian Tricolor, and the Buczko Family Coat-of-arms. Buczkovia's motto is "For God, the King, and the Kingdom!" Another motto commonly used is "For God, Anton, and the Kingdom!" Buczkovia's national anthem is God Save Buczkovia. It has no lyrics yet, but it is played to a tune similar to the British Anthem, God Save the King/Queen.
