The United States of Leafland, more commonly known as The Leafland Union, The USL or Leafland, is a micronation in Guernsey, an island just off the coast of northern France. The micronation was founded in 2022. Still to this day the micronation
has survived many wars and is still attending to UGMN meetings to this day.
The United States of Leafland is a Presidential Democracy and at The Great Assembly, Members of the Great Assembly (MGA’s) will decide which opinion will make the country better, this is usually hosted in a courtroom, but, there is no jury.
Our foreign policy is that we’ll protect our citizens and environment for our future and future generations, so, we’ve banned plastic, anything that’s plastic is banned. We also have banned catfish because we want to stop an infestation from happening. Having strict animal laws is vital here as preventing rabies and other animal diseases is important for our happiness, safety and economy.
Etymology
The Name ‘United States of Leafland’ came from the name ‘Leafland’ because when it was founded there were a bunch of leafs on the ground. There were thoughts of calling it Leafia, but it just sounded wrong. This became The Leafland Union when it was united for the first time. A new name of the country was being picked, the name ‘The United States of Leafland’ was chosen as it was better-sounding than the other names. People still call it by its old name, which the president doesn’t like.
History
The Founding
On the 22nd of September, 2022. Joseph Tadd Founded The Kingdom of Leafland, saying these exact words: “I shall declare this piece of land a newly formed kingdom. Leafland shall be its name.”
The First Crime
A few days after the founding, Co-Founder James Collins was banished from the country after breaking the law. The Original Crime is unknown but he was charged with 18 counts of Resisting Arrest.
The First Uniting
On the 29th of November, 2022. The Leafland Union United for the first time with the surrounding territories: Grassland, Dirtland, The Nothern Plot and Bubba’s Buffet. Bubbalend did not like this and a dispute was formed. A few days later, Puppet state Bedland joined The Leafland Union. The tension between Bubbalend and Leafland was rising.
The First War
At last, war broke out. The USL started to capture the country until over 90% of the country was captured, they retaliated, pushing back all the way to the border. After a short stalemate, Bubbalend pushed in near Bubbas Buffet and pushed upwards. Soon, the old capital was taken and Leafland Surrendered. In peace agreements, they decided that no land would be lost for either countries. Bubbalend won the but, even though there was a war, The friendship started to grow again.
The Final Uniting
On the 16th of June, 2023. The Leafland Union united with The Finn Greening State. Finn Later left the country and The state was named after him. Since then, this state has become an amazing place to visit, though access is limited, the new landmark, the holy bush, is now beautiful and the religion is the second biggest in the country.
Politics and government
Early government
Before Leafland was United, Leafland's proper name was “The Kingdom of Leafland” because the country was a “Democratic Monarchy”. In this time, The Kingdom was small, and didn’t have the right technology to explore and map the surrounding areas. The Government was not rich at all, but still it managed to carry on.
Head of government
Our Head of Government is the president, he confirms new laws, he has the final decision on what all states do, he controls the money spending and the currency and decides what to do with foreign relationships. Our President is the inspiration for the entire nation. As he was the first one in his parish, to stand firm with his goals and ideas. Making a nation, we our all proud of, for us.
Legislature
The Legislature of The USL is The Great Assembly. Though being the Legislature of The United States of Leafland. The Legislature technically doesn’t exist, but the simple answer is that, it does.
House of Leafland (upper)
The House of Leafland is the upper house of our Legislative branch, here five chosen candidates help decide what the country does. A debate is held the day after Independence Day, where each candidate proves his points to a Legislatorial Judge, if he is impressed, he passes the points on to the President. If the President likes the ideas, he puts them into action.
House of Representatives (lower)
The House of Representatives is the lower house of our Legislative branch, each Representative is from each state. These representatives vote for five candidates (out of ten) to go up to the upper legislative branch. They have a week to show how they do in the upper branch, then a vote is held.
Law and order
The Great National Court, Located in Leafland City, is the main court and it follows Guernsey law. Though there are a few rules that are different. Such as, you’re allowed to vote at any age and the speed limit is 20 MPH. There is currently no official prison in The USL but deportation and detentions are used.
Military
This is a section about the Army. The Leafland Military is the Official Military of The United States of Leafland, established in June 2023, it was designed to defend the country, but in recant months, the army included attacking forces. The Leafland Military consists of 5 people. Two Troops, Two Elite Troops and 1 General. It has a vast selection of weapons and even has drones. The Troops have courses that they need to complete for training. Such as, a course in which you have to traverse the side of a steep slope. Known as “Trainee’s Hill”. The Military is under direct command of the President, who is the Head of The Military. The country isn’t ruled by the Military, it's ruled by the Government, just the President is the Head of the Military. It's a separate thing. There isn't only one military group though, there is another private one (that is still official) for the President. It's Called The President's Private Military Service (PPMS) and it was established in June 2024. The Group is intended to Protect the President, just like the Secret Service in America, but with a few differences. The oddest role is The Flag Man role, their job is to hold the flag and protect the President.
