Dubovia, officially the Dubovian Socialist Republic (Slovak: Dubovská socialistická republika), was a socialist micronation, which borders Slovakia and Italy. It is a federation of St. George Socialist Republic and Caldé Socialist Republic.
Dubovia was founded in August 2023 by Mišo, together with Esty Carpentieri and Tobey Wyles. Originally, it was a liberal democratic micronation, but became socialist after adopting a socialist constitution.
Etimology
Dubovia was named after the Czechoslovak leader Alexander Dubček, the leading figure of the Prague Spring.
"Dub" also means oak in Czech and Slovak, however this has nothing to do with the Dubovia's name.
History
The Dubovian Socialist Republic was founded in August 2023, when Mišo and Esty formed a Provisional Government. Not long after, Tobey Wyles joined the republic and became the new prime minister.
On November 10th, a new constitution was passed and the country functioned well, until Mišo decided to rework the Government (executed in a chaotic way), which caused loss of citizens and basically total reorganisation.
A new constitution was approved in a referendum on March 31st. It established the current federalist structure and reformed the overall political organisation.
Legislative and presidential elections were held on April 6th and April 7th. Snap elections to the Federal Assembly were held on 8th May to elect both chambers of the Federal Assembly. The Socialist Front won a 2/3 majority in both chambers of the Federal Assembly and Mišo became the Prime Minister and formed his second Government.
As of August 2024, Dubovia no longer exists
Politics
Dubovia is a federative republic with a multi-party system. The most important institution is the bicameral Federal Assembly, which acts as the legislature. It is composed of the Chamber of the People (lower house) and the Chamber of the Republics (upper house).
The President is the head of state. The President's powers are to represent Dubovia in foreign affairs, to oversee defence and security and to work with the Government on the implementation of policies. As Dubovia is a semi-presidential republic, the President is not a mere figurehead, but an executive official with important prerogatives.
The Government is the highest federal executive institution, it is headed by the Prime Minister and is accountable to the Federal Assembly. The Government oversees domestic, social, internal and economic policies, making the Prime Minister responsible for them.
Parties
Dubovia has two main parties, the Communist Party of Dubovia and the Dubovian People's Union Party. Both are the current leading and ruling parties.
Non-socialist parties are allowed. The only non-socialist party was the National Independence Party led by Wepe, but was dissolved for unknown reasons in June 2024.
The Communist Party and the People's Union Party are part of the Socialist Front, a coalition which aims to preserve the Dubovian socialist democracy and the principles of Dubovian Socialism, on which the state is founded. The Socialist Front currently has a 2/3 majority in the Federal Assembly.
On 4th June, Moe and Yuri Briar founded the Dubovian People's Union Party, a centre-left to left-wing party. the People's Union Party decided to join the Socialist Front as its founders are members of Mišo's Government.
Diplomatic relations
Dubovia is a founding member of the Organization of Democratic and Free Micronations. It has informal ties with the Nortonian Republic, Pinang and also Ostton prior to Ostton's dissolution.
Dubovia, together with Ostton, Norton and Pinang are responsible for number of ODFM Council meetings regarding racist citizenship laws applied in Stred Merdhin. After hours of debates, the ODFM expelled Stred Merdhin from the organisation unanimously.
