Eseptia, officially the Kingdom of Eseptia (Russian: Королевство Эсептия) is a sovereign self-declared state, located in South Central Siberia, usually described as a micronation. It was initially founded by it's current leader Agniya Kaneva as Tsardom of Kanev (Russian: Царство Каневское) in August 2022. The capital town of Eseptia is Ansk.

Eseptia is an absolute monarchy ruled by the House of Kanev. The monarch is the highest authority of all government branches and has the right to make decisions regarding each one of them or instead of them. Monarch is also the commander in chief of the Royal Army.

Etymology

Eseptia got it's name during Ognevian rule, when Esperanto was one of the official languages. The name of Eseptia calques Esperanto adjective "escepta" (English: exceptional).

History

Tsardom of Kanev

Formation of the Eseptian statehood dates back to the middle of 2022. Agniya Kaneva comically declared her small apartment a sovereign state called Tsardom of Kanev. Despite the humorous nature of such separation, Kaneva still tried to handle the economic development of her state, focusing on the further separation from Russia

From September 2022 to December 2022, the nation was stagnating due to Kaneva's personal problems and her educational activities. Later, the stagnation will lead to the Ognevian Revolution in 2023.

People's Republic of Ognev

In February 2023, Eseptia suffered the Ognevian Revolution. During the revolution, Kaneva abdicated the throne and became the president of newly established socialist republic. On 1 March the Ognevian Declaration of Independence was signed. It happened to be the first well-documented event in the history of Eseptia.

Ognevian People's Republic didn't last long as it's politics wasn't much different from the politics of previous government. Despite that, Ognev managed to start some government funded research programs and attract more people to work on the country's development. Ognev however leaved a strong foundation for new government's industry development.

Kingdom of Eseptia

The long development of democracy in Ognev, caused by small amount of people in country made Kaneva think about the suitability of such regime. She decided, that her direct rule would be the best system to make Eseptia prosper until it becomes a republic. After gaining public and parliament support, on 7 April 2023, Kaneva started the April Coup, during which she issued first royal decree. That decree granted her the title of Queen of Eseptia. There was no title system before, even in Tsardom of Kanev.

During the coup, Russia passed a lot of laws, that limited freedom of speech, LGBTQ+ rights and empowering police forces. Eseptian government couldn't stay out of this. Agniya stated, that she doesn't consider Eseptia as a micronation anymore and it must become the new beacon of freedom in Asia. Eseptia has become striving for complete political, military and economical independence from Russia. Because of such ideology, the government quickly started developing it's administration, issued a big amount of laws and kickstarted the Eseptian economy by investing in consumer electronics, information technology and food industry. The Kingdom of Eseptia was the first state in it's history that acquired the production of it's own firearms.

Government and politics

Government

Since April 2023, Eseptia is an unitary absolute monarchy, wherein the queen is the head of the state. There is no parliament in Eseptia. All proposals and complains must be adressed to the queen herself. The queen performs functions such as crime investigantion, resolving of judiciary conflicts, development and passing the laws. She also serves as the Eseptian diplomatic representative on the world stage and represents the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Ministries

Currently, Eseptian government unofficially consists of six ministries:

• Ministry of Science
• Ministry of Defence
• Ministry of Finances
• Ministry of Health and Welfare
• Ministry of Internal Affairs
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Foreign relations

Kingdom of Eseptia does not maintain any foreign relations with other micronations at the moment. It's foreign policy is described as strictly pragmatic and it's goal is to defend Eseptian independency from Russia. Key concerns include cultural exchange, military cooperation and mutually beneficial international trade. Eseptia is open for establishing diplomatic relations with other micronations, that share common core values and respect their citizen's human rights.

Culture

Eseptian culture is not much different from Russian, since all it's citizens are immigrants from Russia. However Eseptians use their own dialect of Russian, that has local jokes, puns and calques from other languages, such as Italian. At the moment, the culture is mainly based on philosophy, that sympathizes with many Eseptians.

The Queen of Eseptia considers this a result of focusing on natural and formal sciences rather than arts and social ones. Since September 2023, government tries to attract more creative people to move in Eseptia by providing them funding and comfortable work conditions, but their attempts were not shown successful yet.

Сulture cannot and will not develop further without talented artists, writers and musicians. Currently our smart and well-qualified citizens could easily make our kingdom a technological superpower, but never the cultural one.
