The Empire of Angyalistan (French: Empire d’Angyalistan) is a micronation founded on January 31, 1999, and whose sovereignty was proclaimed on October 7, 2000. It extends its territory along the horizon and is therefore a quantum nation: at every moment, each point on Earth is at the same time part of an infinity of horizon lines and not part of another infinity of horizon lines; the territory of the Empire is and is not at the same time, and Angyalistan has on it a quantum sovereignty, called “co-sovereignty”. The Empire of Angyalistan considers itself as a performative pantopia: this means that the mere fact of stating the principles of the Basic Law of the Empire is sufficient to achieve them.

The Empire of Angyalistan claims too since October 2012 garbage patches in international waters (North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic, Indian Ocean), with the aim of making disappear this physical territory. For practical reasons, the people of Angyalistan live in exile and the empire is administered from its permanent territorialized embassy to the European Union, located in France near Paris.

Etymology

The origins of the Empire's name lay in the hungarian word angyal, which means angel, after a poetic work by His Imperial Highness Olivier entitled "Odes and legends of the country of angels". The reference to angels echoes the specificity of the primary territory of the Empire, on the horizon: poetry and the art of dreaming are necessary mediators of the scientific truth of its geography, and angels do perfectly symbolize this requirement.

History

Official Portrait of HIM Olivier of Angyalistan.

The beginnings of the Empire date back to April 8, 1995, with the first oath of Their Imperial Highnesses called Oath of the sovereigns. The exact date of the foundation of the Empire is unfortunately not known with certainty, but the official historians of the Empire, on the recommendations of H.I.M. Olivier, agreed on January 31, 1999. It is certain that the Angyalistan emerged in the late twentieth century and the writings of H.I.M. mentioned principles similar to those of the fundamental law of the Empire at this time.

The union of Their Imperial Highnesses was solemnized on October 7, 2000, and during this ceremony an angyalistanese flag was publicly exhibited for the first time ; the sovereignty of Angyalistan was then proclaimed in the form of an empire. On that same day, was for the first time claimed the horizon as the territory of the Empire. The original written claim has been lost, but a facsimile has been released in 2009.

At the end of 2000, the Empire of Angyalistan entered a period of half-sleep for a decade, but that did not infringe its immanence and its sustainability.

Although consubstantial with the Empire, the Basic Law of the Empire had remained unwritten until 2010. Its formatting paved the way for a better notoriety of the imperial authorities. The Basic Law has been definitely published in an annotated version in spring 2012.

In october 2012, the Empire decided to claim as its territory the five main garbage patches (North Pacific, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - GPGP - ; and North Atlantic, Indian Ocean, South Pacific, and South Atlantic). This revendication gives a physical territorial basis to the Empire of Angyalistan, which is important as far as the criteria of the 1933 convention of Montevideo are concerned. Besides, claiming the GPs makes, once again, the Empire of Angyalistan unique : it is the only state in the world whose aim is to make disappear its physical territory. During the Summer 2014, the Empire of Angyalistan launched the ‪#‎ShareYourHorizons‬ challenge on Facebook social network to collect pictures of the horizon and give money to the OceanCleanUp fundation depending on the number of horizons collected. Thanks to the pictures shared by the citizens and residents of the Empire and by the authorities of several friendly nations, it has given support in cleaning up 70 kg of plastic. The pictures of the horizon collected have been released on the landscapes gallery of the official website of the Empire.

Government and politics

The Empire of Angyalistan is an absolute monarchy, considering itself as a performative pantopia: this means that the mere fact of stating the principles of the Basic Law of the Empire is sufficient to achieve them. Any reader of the Basic Law itself contributes to its materiality.
