The Empire of Pavlov (Ukrainian: Павлівська Імперія), is a micronation with enclaves in the the Netherlands, Slovakia, Ukraine, Turkey, Serbia, Russia, the Czech Republic, Brazil, and Antarctica. It was founded in 2012 by Dionisiy Bekbulatov. The Empire of Pavlov has claimed itself a nation but it is not recognized as a country by the United Nations or any major government. It operates under the autocratic constitutional monarchy of its Emperor, Ivan VII Aleksandrovytch.

Pavlov considers itself the continuation of the Kyivan Rus' and the Eastern Roman Empire. After Pavlov's registration as an NGO, the official mission statement of Pavlov was decided as "[..]to defend and promote the cultural heritage of Rus’ and of the Roman Empire through creating an ecosystem where their society, customs and traditions are modeled in a contemporary framing". In this context most aspects of the political, civil and religious discourse are under direct Rus' or Eastern Roman inspiration.

Etymology

The etymology of the name "Pavlov" has been a debate amongst Pavlovians of all eras. The two most popular theories of its origin are that the country is named either in honor of the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov or in honor of the Apostle Paul (the Patron saint of the "Kingdom of Pavlov"). For both, the same would transcend into Pavlov, as Pavlov means in Russian "belonging to Paul/Pavel". According to later Pavlovians, however, the Ukrainian name of the state, which is official, clearly testifies in favor of the second, now generally accepted theory. As the name of the Empire is "Павлівська" (vs "Павловська"), it is possible only from the name "Pavlo" and not from the surname "Pavlov".

History

University

The origins of Pavlov come from a micronation teenhood project, called The Kingdom of Pavlov, founded by Bekbulatov and Tom Prins on July 8, 2012, as an experiment of how an absolute monarchy would function in the 21st century claiming a piece of Antarctica. As membership in the government grew over the course of late 2012, Pavlov experimented with other types of government, including a short period as a republic, before finally becoming a constitutional monarchy in December. In March 2013, friendly diplomatic ties between Pavlov and the Russian micronation Lostisland grew following the election of His Majesty Alexander IV as one of the Captain Regent of the Republic of Lostisland while the other Captain Regent, Yaroslav Mar, was elected Prime Minister of Pavlov.

Merger with Lostisland

As the leadership of both Pavlov and Lostisland was involved heavily in the other internal affairs, a merger was proposed and discussed by both countries. Following successful referenda, in which both Pavlov and Lostisland voted to merge, a treaty of unification was signed between the leaders of the two countries. On 19 April 2013, the Federal Republic of Lostisland was established and former Lostislandic Yaroslav Mar was selected to serve as Federal President while His Imperial Majesty Alexander IV was selected to serve as Prime Minister. Pavlov was integrated within the new union as the Federation of Pavlov. Although the initial month was relatively stable, tensions between the federal government and the Federation of Pavlov began following a series of pro-separatist civil unrest led by the Alexander IV's cousin, a prominent Pavlovian nobleman.[1] Following the end of the unrest, Alexander IV's cousin was exiled. The exile of his cousin eventually led to Alexander IV stepping down as Prime Minister of Lostisland[2] and unilaterally declaring the independence of the Republic of Pavlov. Following the proclamation of the Republic of Pavlov, the conflict expanded to an international level.

In an effort to end the crisis, Federal loyalists and forces loyal to the Republic of Pavlov began negotiating a solution to the conflict. The negotiations eventually ended with the dissolution of the Republic of Pavlov and the re-integration of the Federation of Pavlov (later renamed to Belastrova) within the Federal Republic of Lostisland.

Golden age

On 14 September, Bekbulatov was allowed by the Antarctic Micronational Union to assert sovereignty over the Antarctic claims of the former Grand Principality of Snežanopol and established the Grand Principality of Pavlov. The new Pavlovian state was recognized by the Federal Republic of Lostisland,[3] mere minutes after its proclamation. In 2014 Pavlov was reformed into an Empire,[4] joined the AMU,[5] and adopted a predominantly Russian culture.In 2015 Pavlov focused on organizing Russophone summits in Moscow under the leadership of Yaroslav Mar (HIH Tsesarevych Jaroslav), during this period Pavlov was well known for her social conservative policies.[6] In late 2015, the Emperor commissioned a new anthem to be composed by a famous Russian composer[7] and the development of a new, innovative eGovernment portal.[8]

Downfall and revivals

In June 2016, the Emperor and Autocrat Alexander IV ratified a new Constitution for the empire.[9] The treaty with Lostisland was voided after tensions rise between Yaroslav Mar and Bekbulatov due to this new constitution. In late 2016, Pavlov rapidly expanded following the peaceful annexations of Hasanistan,[10] Carpathia,[11] Akebar,[12] and other regions. On 12 October, a new government was appointed by the Emperor, led by Kristof Fondrk. On 3 December a plot planned by Pavle Savovic was uncovered which would have turned Pavlov into a "Pavlist" dictatorship.[13] Pavlov was disestablished soon after the plot was uncovered. Numerous attempts to revival were taking place in this era (2017-2018) under the leadership of Kristof Fondrk, Christian Newton and Hasan Çakar, all of them equally unsuccessful and getting no further than reconnecting a group of friends.

Montescano

Montescano was founded in May 2019 to re-enter micronational politics, during this period many old friendships were revived and some were destroyed. Since the earliest foundation of Montescano calls were made by citizens at reviving the Empire and re-asserting the Imperial claim. Montescano was known for an extensive online legislature, unlike the more autocratic Pavlovian projects. During Montescano, the Pavlovian Union was briefly founded to maintain the Pavlovian legacy but ultimately was unsuccessful to maintain the former Pavlovian micronations in partnership. Nedland briefly joined Montescano in June 2019, however upon the decision to start a census, Nedland declared their wish for secession from the Principality, due to the great number of inactive subjects who would otherwise have been removed from the subjectship roster.

Great Reset

Upon final agreement of Bekbulatov, Mar and Fondrk and numerous other former Pavlovians, Pavlov was refounded on 12 June 2020. The Imperial claim was re-asserted and the name of the state once more became the Empire of Pavlov - which it had been for over 1492 days. During this era, those in power between 2016-2019, became less politically active, and at the end of 2020, Pavlov had her first female Head of Government since foundation in 2012. On Christmas-eve 2020, the Monarch announced the registration of Pavlov as an NGO. A subjectship census took place in January 2021, ousting nearly 200 inactive Pavlovian subjects from their subjectship. Emergency passport were issued to the immediate members of the Imperial family. The Monarch received tacit recognition from the Holy See and Monaco.

Pavlov as a community has had several incarnations, with the modern Empire of Pavlov being the last of them.

Rus' and Byzantine heritage

Pavlov claims to be the legitimate successor of the Kievan Rus since 2014,[14] this can be seen from the adoption of Russkaya Pravda as civil code, the title of "Autocrat of all Rus'", the names of administrative divisions, the name of the Monarch, Alexander IV, being styled in a way of continuing the numeration of the Rus' Monarchs and many similar quirks.

The Pavlovian ruler assumed the title of Emperor (Pavlovian: Басіьлєъўсь) and Autokrator (Pavlovian: Аъвтократор)[15] to emphasize his claim to the Roman and Byzantine Imperial legacy. In a way similar to how Muscovy adopted Byzantine terms, rituals, titles and emblems such as the double-headed eagle in 1472 after Ivan III married Sophia Palaiologina. The Pavlovians claim that since the Pavlovian Monarch remained the only legitimate ruler who can claim lineage from both the Third Romes (both Moscow and Istanbul), and that Pavlov was the Fourth Rome, becoming the final lineal successor to Rome, Constantinople and Rus, the three centers of Christianity and of the Roman Empires of earlier periods. The "Fourth Rome" concept would resonate in the self-image of the Pavlovian people in future years, with HIH Tsesarevych Jaroslav proclaiming "Three Romes have fallen. The Fourth Rome still lives in our souls[..]"[16]

Alexander IV citing his claim on the title of Emperor to his connection to the three imperial bloodlines. As in Ottoman times it was already a well considered fact that "if Rome and Byzantium represented two of the three international traditions of imperial legitimacy, the blood of Genghis Khan was the third".[17] The Pavlovians consider Bekbulatov the legitimate 183rd Roman Emperor,[18] his claim to the title was recognized by the Emperor-King of Karnia-Ruthenia in the Treaty of Dionysopol, in the subsequent Treaty of Theodosia also by HIM Emperor Wilhelm I.

Territory

Pavlov is regarded by the founder as a socio-cultural project, as was incorporated as a Dutch non-governmental organization to achieve this goal. The land plots claimed as "sovereign territory" by Pavlov in the the Netherlands, Slovakia, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia, and Antarctica are ceremonial claims and part of Pavlov's "cultural heritage". Pavlov has sent letters to the Governments in which they claim land, informing them of the ceremonialness of the claims and that they do not dispute the territorial integrity of the countries they claim land in. Pavlov considers herself a sovereign subject of international law around the "Imperial throne".[19] On New Year's Eve the Pavlovian Senate passed an Act declaring the territory within a 1 km radius around the Monarch, his consort and the Heir to the Throne Pavlovian sovereign territory.

Administrative divisions

Pavlov comprises of twenty five pieces of land. The largest piece of Pavlovian land, Laranda lies in Turkey, the smallest piece Theodosia in the Netherlands. Pavlov is divided into Praetorian Prefectures and Zemlji the first level administrative division in the Empire. Praetorian Prefectures and Zemlji are further subdivided into Themes, the second level and main administrative division. Themes rougly encompas old Roman Provinces or Byzantine Themes. Themes consist of Banda and Uyezds the third level administrative division of the Empire. Banda and Uyezds are further subdivided into Cities, Towns and Manors. Cities are the only administrative division not under the leadership of a hereditary noble, but instead by an Urban prefect.

Governance & administration

Pavlov is an autocratic constitutional monarchy, under the rule of the Emperor, Ivan VII . The Monarchy is mainly based on the office of Grand Prince of Kyiv and that of Emperor of the Roman "Byzantine" Empire under the Komnenos dynasty, the Angelos dynasty. It also bears some heritage from the Office of Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. As such the position is not hereditary in direct-male line, but the Senate upon the nomination of the Monarch picks the Heir apparent from the Imperial Family and adopted children of the Monarch.

The first-level administrative division in Pavlov is the Zemlja, based on the administrative divisions of Kievan Rus’. Zemlji are composed by the main and second-level subdivision, the Uyezd, an Uyezd is intended to encompass any Pavlovian territories, whether contiguous or not, resting within the same couple of square kilometer of land and water. Uyezds are further composed of Towns, and Manors. Zemlji are led by Princes, Uyezds by Counts and Towns and Manors by Barons.

Consuls

Main article: Pavlovian Consuls

The two Consuls acts as Head of Government of the Empire of Pavlov. While the Empire is an autocracy in many ways, the Basic law of the Empire was written so that many of the Monarchs prerogatives can be used at will of the Consuls. The Consuls and Senate are two distinctive Roman governmental features Pavlov has. Unlike in many contemporary constitutional monarchies, the Monarch is not banned from serving as Head of Government in Pavlov. The term of a Consul is one year. List of Consuls:

Government

Pavlov doesn't have a specific number of available ministerial portfolios, in accordance with its principle to "find positions for people, not people for positions". In practice, this means that when a citizen knowledgeable in a particular field joins Pavlov, a ministerial position may be created especially for him, and disestablished if they resign or get dismissed. According to the Basic law of the Empire, the only fixed positions are those of the Consuls.

As of 2020, the following ministries exist:

  • Bureau of the Barbarians, responsible for coordination between Pavlov and foreign countries and organizations, responsible for subjectship applications.
  • Secretariate of Minorities, responsible for the protection of minorities.

In addition, Pavlov has one independent agency which is part of the executive but not part of the Cabinet:

  • Oprichnina, responsible for the protection of law and order, for foreign intelligence, security and investigations


Foreign Relations

Pavlov has a fairly isolationist foreign policy, which is furthermore limited by the Orientism political theory and the Treaty of Theodosia. Pavlov does not enter alliances with other micronations in general, the only exception to this is the Federal Republic of Lostisland, signed in light of the strong cultural and historical ties between the two nations. Pavlov is a member of the Antarctic Micronational Union and one of the original signatories of its 2020 Charter; an original signatory of the Montediszamble Convention and an observer member of the Union of Micronations of Central Europe.

Recognized nations

Nations which are Socii states of Pavlov
Nations which are in a state of alliance with Pavlov
Nations with which Pavlov has signed a treaty of mutual recognition or exchanged acts of recognition

The following list does not include defunct nations, nations with which a treaty was terminated, nor nations with which a treaty was signed for a finite period of time and not renewed upon expiration.

Nations which are in a state of mutual recognition with Pavlov by virtue of membership in the Antarctic Micronational Union
Nations which are unilaterally recognized by Pavlov

Template:collapse is not available for use in articles (see MOS:COLLAPSE).

Tacit recognition

Pavlov claims to have received tacit recognition - that is, acts or conduct which, in the absence of any indication to the contrary, can be reasonably interpreted to imply recognition - from several countries which have not explicitly granted the Empire official diplomatic recognition.

  •  Monaco: On 29 December 2020, a letter from the Office of HSH the Sovereign Prince addressed the Emperor as "Augustus" and referred to him as the "Leader of Pavlov" implying recognition of Pavlov's monarchy, her Imperial status and government.[note 1]
  •   Holy See: On 16 January 2021, a letter from the Office of Apostolic Nuncio to the Kingdom of the Netherlands addressed the Emperor as "Augustus" implying recognition of Pavlov's monarchy and her Imperial status.[note 2]

Economy

The Empire has a tiny market economy. Currently, the only two company operating in Pavlov is the Pavlovian Export-Import Bank and the Imperial Post (both for 66% owned by the Emperor). The currency of Pavlov is the Hryvnia. Pavlov is completely reliant on imported goods and services provided by bordering countries. The only two active sectors in Pavlov are the IT sector and the Agricultural sector. Since recently an e-banking solution has been released for the Pavlovian Hryvnia. There are plans being made to start developing wine and the generation of solar energy.

The IT sector is mostly based in the Themes of Germania and Kyiv, while Agricultural sector is mostly based in the Anatolics (cherries), Chaldia (tea and olives) and Moesia (cherries, peaches, grapes, plums and wheat). 95% of the produce of this get's sold to Turkey (Anatolics and Chaldia) and Serbia (Moesia) respectively.

Demographics

Pavlov has a total population of eighty one. Fifty four of these are residents living on the territory of Pavlov, the remaining twenty seven have been given subjectship by naturalization through Imperial decree and do not physically reside on the territory of Pavlov. Citizens of Lostisland and Brienia may apply through a simplified procedure. Prospective subjects are screened by the Secretary of the Barbarians and the Imperial Oprichnina. The non-residential subjects of Pavlov have no automatic political rights and as such is seen as a honorary association with the country. Pavlov has six "Roman citizens", the Roman citizenship opens full political rights to her recipients. This level of citizenship was established in order to cover the costs associated with running an NGO.

Population

As of September 2020, Pavlov has a population of 81 subjects hailing from Europe, North America and Asia. The largest Pavlovian diasporas are found in the Turkey, Netherlands and Ukraine.

Languages

English is the lingua franca in Pavlov and spoken by at least 80% of the 81 subjects. Ukrainian the second official language, is spoken by a minority of subjects concentrated in the Themes of Klimata, Kyiv and Germania. While there is a large minority of Russian speakers, the usage of the language is officially banned in Pavlov. Other minority languages include Dutch, Serbian, Turkish and Slovakian.

Culture

Pavlovian culture is largely influenced by the Ukrainian, Greek and Western-Turkish Culture. Most of the "citizens" of Pavlov practice a serious form of Chalcedonian Christianity in various denominations (60%). There is also a recognized Muslim minority in Pavlov. Chalcedonian Christianity (the Christianity of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches) is the official and state religion of Pavlov. The Empire celebrates fourteen public holidays each year, many of which are Christian feast days, the annual date of the religious holidays is determined by Imperial edict.

As part of being a Monarchy, Pavlov instituted "nobility", which exists because of the medieval character of the micronation, the political system (feudalism), and explicitly not from ambition to create titles. As such neither the founder nor the "citizens" use them outside the community of micronations. Over the course of 8 years, Pavlov instituted numerous orders of knighthood, the most notable being the Order of the Flat Earth, first founded in 2015. Flat earthism being one of the tongue-in-cheek "quirks" of the Empire.

One of the other quirks of the Empire is her ironic attachment to ultra-conservative policies such as the banning of shaving of beards and the banning of not drinking Vodka.

National holidays

Pavlov has numerous national holidays which are mandatorily observed by her citizens in line with the Basic Law of the Empire. Labor on these days is legally banned from taking place.
