The Democratic Republic of Zaljikstan, more commonly known as Zaljikstan, is a micronation located in Greenville, Michigan...
Etymology
The name "Zaljikstan" is derived from the ancient Zaljik word "Zaljik," meaning "land of unity," combined with the Persian suffix "-stan," meaning "place of." The name reflects the founders' vision of creating a harmonious and cohesive community.
History
Zaljikstan was founded in 2020 by a group of environmental scientists and artists who sought to create a self-sustaining micronation dedicated to ecological preservation and cultural enrichment. Initially established as an experimental eco-village, Zaljikstan quickly grew as it attracted like-minded individuals from around the globe. The nation officially declared its independence on Earth Day, April 22, 2020, symbolizing its commitment to environmental stewardship. Over the next few years, Zaljikstan developed its own unique culture, political system, and economy, becoming a beacon of sustainability and artistic expression.
Politics and government
Zaljikstan is a federal presidential republic with a strong emphasis on direct democracy. The government is divided into three branches: the Presidency, the Council of Commons, and the Judicial Tribunal. The President serves as both the head of state and government, while the Council of Commons, an elected body of representatives, handles legislative functions and policymaking. The Judicial Tribunal ensures laws adhere to the constitution and resolves legal disputes.

Law and order
The judicial system of Zaljikstan is based on a mix of common law and traditional Zaljik customs. The Judicial Tribunal, comprising five judges appointed by the Council of Commons, interprets the laws and ensures they comply with the constitution. Law enforcement is managed by the Eco-Guard, a community policing body focused on maintaining peace and protecting the environment.
Military
Zaljikstan maintains a small, primarily defensive military known as the Green Guard. It consists of three branches: the Environmental Defense Force, the Coastal Protection Unit, and the Air Patrol. The Green Guard is equipped with non-lethal weaponry and advanced surveillance technology to monitor and protect the nation's borders. Notable conflicts include the "Seaweed Scuffle" of 2021, a minor maritime dispute with a neighboring micronation over algae harvesting rights.

It maintains diplomatic relations with several other micronations and is a member of the International Micronational Union, where it advocates for global sustainability initiatives.
