The Republic of Terredepaix is a micronation located mainly within the U.S state of Michigan, with 19 Provinces. It's capital is called Browndon. Terredepaix was created on May 8, 2022, after King (Now President) William of Terredepaix declared independence from the United States of America.

Terredepaix is governed as a semi-presidential constitutional Republic, with the President as Head of State and commander-in-chief of the Terredepaixan Armed Forces and the Prime Minister as Head of Government.

Terredepaix is extremely open to diplomacy, and has been in at least one micronational alliance for it's entire history. Current President of Terredepaix, President Brown, has looked to get rid of Terredepaix’s dependence on micronational alliances, and the internet, and has talked about implementing a no alliances policy for a while if the Micronational Peace Alliance collapses.

Etymology

“Terredepaix” is a fusion word of the French words “Terre,” “de,” and “Paix,” which in English mean: “Land of Peace.” So, altogether, “Terredepaix” means “Land of Peace.”

History

Terredepaix was founded on May 8, 2022 by former King, and now President, William I. It has gone through major periods of transformation, unification, and other changes since then. Due to this, Terredepaixan history is commonly divided into different eras, which are described in detail below.

Creation era

Days lasted: 46

The Creation era was the first era in Terredepaix, which lasted from May 8, 2022 to June 23, 2022. The era began when king William Brown of Terredepaix declared independence from the United States of America. He quickly set up a name, flag, other symbols, and a government for the newly-created micronation. The next day on May 9, he began writing an unofficial constitution for the micronation that never made it past the first article. On this day, he also formed an alliance with his best friend Xander Mintz’s micronation, Kingdom of Paxaris, which was known as the Union of Peace, or UOP. The Union of Peace began Terredepaix’s diplomatic relations, and ever since its creation Terredepaix has been an extremely open-to-diplomacy state, forming two micronational alliances, the Union of Peace being one of them, and establishing relations with other micronations. During this era, On June 9, 2022, King William’s cousin, Tucker Rowell, gained control of Terredepaix after king William lost Tucker in a pillow fight, which William thought was a joke, but was not, and Tucker proclaimed himself as the new king of Terredepaix. William attempted to get his micronation back throughout Tuckers whole “rule,” and eventually, after 5-6 long hours, William and Tucker sat down and negotiated. They eventually came to an agreement: William would help Tucker make a micronation, and William would gain control of his micronation back. After this agreement, William once again became the king of Terredepaix, and Tucker started a new micronation with William, which Tucker later forgot about and abandoned, as it was mostly a joke.

This era ended after the Union of Peace dissolved and Terredepaix became isolated besides with Paxaris.

Age of Inactivity

Days lasted: 45

The Age of Inactivity was the second era in Terredepaix, which lasted from June 23, 2022 to August 27, 2022. This era is also known as “The great shut off,” as Terredepaix essentially shut off after the Union of Peace dissolved. Diplomacy was completely cut besides with Paxaris, and the government, which was not very active before the age of inactivity as it entirely revolved around William, the monarchy, and the royal family, as it was an absolute monarchy, shut down. The most significant thing that happened during this era was when Terredepaix unified with Paxaris to form the Great Lakes Union, the first union between the two micronations. It eventually dissolved, though.

This era ended after Terredepaix re-unified with Paxaris, to form the Unified Kingdoms of Paxaris-Terredepaix, which was the second union between the two micronations, and re-opened diplomacy to help a micronation which was at the time known as Serboslavia in a war.

The Great Resurgence

Days lasted: 3

The Great Resurgence was the third era in Terredepaix, which lasted from August 7, 2022- August 10, 2022. This era saw Terredepaix re-open diplomacy, and grow exponentially. The era began when Terredepaix and Paxaris re-unified, and Terredepaix re-opened diplomacy after seeing a micronation, then known as Serboslavia, in a online war. This war and assistance was quickly forgotten about by Terredepaix and king William. Shortly afterwards, King William formed a micronational alliance with the leader of Serboslavia, who goes by “Mr. Serb,” and the King, and later prime minister Brad Blakerson (raisin) of Yoppinland, known as the North American and European Micronational Defense Alliance, or NAEMDA, but NAEMDA quickly was forgotten about and went inactive and de facto dissolved one day after its creation. A few days later, King William put out a general advertisement on micronational subreddits, requesting to form an actual, official micronational alliance with many micronations. This advertisement got lots of traction, and soon, the World Micronational Alliance, or WMA, one of the predecessors to the Micronational Peace Alliance, or MPA, was created.

This era ended after the WMA was created.

Age of Alliances

Days lasted: 52

The Age of Alliances was the fourth era in Terredepaix, which lasted from August 10, 2022- October 1, 2022. This era saw Terredepaix focus primarily on Diplomacy, the WMA (later MPA,) and other things like that. During this era, Terredepaix established a strong online presence, along with the WMA, and King William himself. During this era, On August 24, 2022, the Unified Kingdoms of Paxaris-Terredepaix dissolved, after King William disagreed with a treaty that he and Xander Mintz of Paxaris has recently made about territorial claims between the two micronations. William wanted his territory back, and so, he pulled out of the Unified Kingdoms of Paxaris-Terredepaix, and declared what was mostly a joke war on Paxaris. President Ran DB of the Republic of Besonia did not officially join this war, due to Besonia’s strict no-war policy, but did support Terredepaix during the war. Throughout the war, the three parties larped with territory and claims, as the war revolves around territorial ambitions that were huge and not able to be controlled and governed by them, like counties. The leaders of the micronations involved weren’t even in real life together anyway. It was purely a larp war. Eventually, the parties solved their territorial disputes, and Terredepaix and Paxaris did not re-unify. During this era in August 27, 2022, Terredepaix changed its government type for the first official time, changing to a Constitutional Republic, that was known as the Republic of Terredepaix. The Republic lasted until September 8, 2022, when Terredepaix and Paxaris unified for the third time, creating the Unified Lakeshore Kingdoms. A requirement for the new union was that all members had to be monarchies in some form, so Terredepaix changed its government type to a monarchy once again, but this time, instead of an absolute monarchy, it became a constitutional monarchy, with a constitution, a government, political parties, etc. William was fine with this, as after trying both monarchy and democracy, he decided he liked both and fused them into Terredepaix’s current state, a constitutional monarchy. Also during this era, King William created an empire, which Terredepaix headed, known as the Empire of Willistan, which was inspired off of Paxaris’ commonwealth, and now empire.

This era ended when the Great Break began.

The Great Break

Days lasted: 1

The Great Break was the fifth era in Terredepaix, which lasted from October 1, 2022- October 2, 2022, in which King William took a break from Terredepaix, and micronationalism itself. He did this after gaining inspiration from other MPA members doing this first. He realized he had been almost completely focusing on Terredepaix, the MPA, and micronationalism, and not instead spending time with his family, or focusing more on academics, due to school recently starting back up for him. The Great Break put the Terredepaixan Parliament on recess, and temporarily shut it off again, much like during the second era of Terredepaixan history. The Great Break was originally meant to last for a week, but was shortened to just a day, after William felt it was enough. After the break, he decided to focus more on other things than micronationalism, but still be a part of it and participate in it.

This era ended when King William, and Terredepaix, came back from being on break.

Post Great Break era

Days lasted: 6

The Post Great Break era was the sixth era in Terredepaix, which lasted from October 2, 2022- October 8, 2022. During this era, William made a few Terredepaixan propaganda and advertisement videos, as well as an Terredepaixan newspaper. During this era, Terredepaix also held a referendum to pull out of the Unified Lakeshore Kingdoms (ULK,) and not join any more micronational unions. The referendum was a majority “yes,” and Terredepaix pulled out of the ULK and made a law that stated that it cannot join any more micronational unions, unless another referendum is held, and it is completely and totally in Terredepaix’s best interest. Another thing that happened during this era, is that on October 2, 2022, King William officially dissolved the Empire of Willistan, having Terredepaix go back to being minuscule, like the unwritten rule of micronational territory states, and due to backlash from the MPA, with a few island territories, Drummond Island (which Terredepaix had had for a while,) and the Beaver archipelago, which was a brand new Terredepaixan territory.

This era has ended when Terredepaix’s discord server saw significant growth.

Growth Era

Days lasted: 8

The Growth Era was the seventh era in Terredepaix, which is currently ongoing. During this era, Terredepaix’s discord server saw significant growth, and new political parties were created, new government officials were added, and a court/law enforcement system was made. During this era, on October 10, 2022, Terredepaix annexed the Pristine Kingdom of Salem, and it became the Terredepaixan Province of Salem. This happened after King William made a slight joke suggestion that Terredepaix should annex Salem. The founder of Salem, Charli aka ghost, actually thought about that semi joke proposition, and after an hour or so of thought, she finally have the go ahead for Terredepaix to annex Salem, so it did, and Salem became the eleventh province of Terredepaix. After Charli gave the go ahead, King William quickly began the integration process, editing the Salem server, making new symbols, forming a new government for Salem, etc. The Prime Minister of Salem became the Governor of Salem, and the Deputy Prime Minister became the Lieutenant Governor of Salem. William decided to keep the name ¨Salem¨ as to pay respects to the old micronation that was now a province of Terredepaix. Unfortunately, this caused some controversy. During the late night hours on October 11, 2022 and into the early morning of October 12, 2022, a coup and new self-proclaimed “independent Salem state” against Terredepaixan Salem was formed by the annexations objectors. On October 12, 2022, an actual referendum was held to make the annexation of Salem actually democratic. With a turnout of 5 votes for a continuation of Terredepaixan annexation vs a vote of 4 for independence, Salem stayed as a province of Terredepaix. However, 2 people completely disregarded the referendum, and formed a government in exile for Salem, as well as another planned rebellion. King William announced that Terredepaixan Salem would be ignoring these, unless they got serious. Governor Delta is still trying to figure out what to do, as these rebels were important and valuable in independent Salem, and Governor Delta does not want them lost. During this era on October 12, 2022, King William and King Xander Mintz of Paxaris were talking in the MPA discord server, when they came across an unresolved border dispute from earlier in the micronations history. The dispute revolved around the city of Midland, Michigan, which both micronations claimed as their own territory. The two leaders agreed that Midland would become jointly occupied territory until they could come to an agreement for the border dispute. Eventually, on October 13, 2022, the leaders conferenced and discussed the dispute. King Xander proposed that Terredepaix and Paxaris split Midland into 2 sections: one for each micronation. He also showed king William a proposed map for this suggestion. King William agreed, and the two micronations split Midland into West Midland, which is Terredepaixan, and East Midland, which is Paxari. This was known as the Midland Split. Also During this era on October 13, 2022, Terredepaix announced the recognition of the Czech joke province of Královec, which claims itself in the oblast of Kaliningrad in the Russian Federation. On October 13–14, 2022, Terredepaix held a referendum, which was mostly just ignored and neglected anyway, to change its flag. After a few hours of voting, William decided to announce the results early, and Terredepaix changed its flag, which was heavily inspired off of the first flag of Terredepaix. On October 15, 2022, King William installed a new program within Terredepaix, known as the “Terredepaixan Liberation Program,” which was meant to have Terredepaix annex and liberate countries and territories from oppression and harm. Terredepaix only annexed the Russian regions of Tomsk, Khanty-Mansi, Yamalo-Nenets, and Krasnoyarsk, and the entire country of Afghanistan. The claims to Afghanistan were later relinquished shortly afterwards. On October 16, 2022, the Republic of Miraguay, aka the Federated States of Miraguay, joined Terredepaix willingly after a treaty was made and signed. Miraguay became an autonomous province of Terredepaix.

This era ended after Terredepaix became a federation.

Federation Era

Days lasted: 18

The Federation Era was the eighth era in Terredepaix, which lasted from October 16, 2022- November 3, 2022. This era kicked off after Terredepaix became a federation after gaining so many new territories. The parliament became known as the federal assembly, and a federal government was created. The monarchy stayed, however. During this era on October 16, 2022, King William kept joking around in the Roscamistan discord server that Terredepaix should annex the Republic of Roscamistan, to which President of Roscamistan, Thomas Jacobs was not so happy about. William made a fake treaty and speech announcing the joke annexation. There was actually one supporter of the annexation, and that was Roscami Vice President of Roscamistan, Ludwig Collins who allegedly wished to destabilise Roscamistan as a joke. Late night on October 16 and into the afternoon of October 17, 2022, a referendum was held to abolish the Terredepaixan monarchy for good, with a majority voting to abolish it. After the monarchy was abolished, William quickly formed a new leadership position and government. The king and prime minister of Terredepaix now became the President of the Terredepaixan Federation. There was a quick 2 hour long election for president of the federation, and it was determined that Owen Mcgarry of the Kingdom of Cronic had won the election, and the second most voted candidate, Former Prime Minister Brad Blakerson, aka Raisin, became the Vice President of the Terredepaixan Federation. On October 19, 2022, the Federal Republic of Cambria joined the Terredepaixan Federation under the republic category, although it kept its monarchy and protectorate program. On October 27, 2022, the first ever elections for the leaders of the Federal Members of Terredepaix took place. The elections are currently ongoing, and a new one will happen every other day until all leadership positions for the federal members are filled up. There will also be representative elections for the federal members as well. The first one, the one that occurred on October 27, was for the Browndon province. It was later determined, after the election ended, than Owen Mcgarry had won the election. Also on October 27, Terredepaix’s legislature, the federal assembly, split up into 2 houses: the House of Representatives and the Council of Governors. On October 29, 2022, the Federal Republic of Cambria joined the Federation as a republic. Also during this era, Terredepaix began expanding its diplomatic relations outside of the MPA, and establishing itself on Twitter. On October 31, 2022, Terredepaix was sold a piece of the old Martiaterra, which was a micronation located in the Tremeti archipelago in the country of Italy, by the micronation Xiang Clang, who was sold Martiaterra by Martiaterra's founder and former leader, Mr. Serb. The piece of Xiang Martiaterra that was sold to Terredepaix was integrated as a Province of Terredepaix and was renamed to Tremetistan. Terredepaix held a general election during this era, which lasted from late October 2022 – Present, in which governors and representatives were elected to the Federal Assembly, however William did not like the way he had formatted the general election, and on 1 November 2022, he had a new general election be held for the same positions. After a few hours of voting, it was determined that William had won many postions, including the most powerful one, President. With some outrage at the fact that candidates were allowed to run for every spot, former Secretary of State (now secretary of the press,) Darth, suggested a law in the federal assembly that would only allow one candidate to run for 3 postions max. This bill is currently being voted on in the federal assembly. After ghost won the election for governor of Salem, she immediately held a referendum to see what should happen with Salem. The referendum included 4 options: independence, no independence, more autonomy, or abstain/no opinion. This was the second referendum held about the state of Salem. After Terredepaix annexed Salem, Salem became conflicted between the sides of Terredepaixan Salem, Independent Salem, and a more Autonomous, but still Terredepaixan, Salem. Governor Ghost hopes to finally fix this issue one and for all by holding a second referendum. Also during this era on November 1, 2022, Cambria left Terredepaix after being a Republic of Terredepaix for about 2 weeks. On November 2, 2022, newly-elected President William Brown relinquished the Province of Tremetistan, after having a border dispute with Cambria, Xiang Clang, and the former Martiaterra. Also on November 2, President Brown migrated the official discord server of Terredepaix. Due to all of the micronations that had been leaving the federation, Terredepaixan’s had been worrying about the collapse of the federation. President Brown stated that the federation would be ok. These statements later came back to bite him. On November 3, 2022, newly elected Terredepaixan president, William Brown, got caught up in a scandal after he and also newly elected governor of Salem, Ghost, held a discussion about what to do with Salem after the referendum, that showed that the people of Salem wanted to leave Terredepaix. President Brown wanted to keep Salem, as it was a province, and the first federal member of the Terredepaixan federation that was a Micronation that joined the federation. President Brown got flak for trying to “deny self determination and the referendum,” and so he decided to just give up Salem, as he realized his mistakes. The federal assembly soon wanted him to hold a referendum of the citizens of Terredepaix to see weather or not Terredepaix should stay as a federation, so he did. The referendum asked:

Should Terredepaix stop being a Federal Constitutional Republic and turn into a Constitutional Republic/Social Democracy?

The referendum lasted until 10:00 PM EST, and the results were that Terredepaix would become a constitutional republic once again, like it was during the first time it was a republic.

This era ended after the referendum to end the Federation concluded.

Second Republic Era

Days lasted: 2

The Second Republic era was the ninth era in Terredepaix. The era started after a referendum to dissolve Terredepaix’s federation, and instead just make Terredepaix a simple Republic, was successful, and Terredepaix turned back into a constitutional monarchy, much like the Republic of Terredepaix that existed in September. After all of this had occurred, President Brown decided to take a short break from micronationalism during the weekend, much like the Great Break, for 3 days starting from November 4, 2022- November 7, 2022. In his absence, Vice President Xander Mintz was made acting president of Terredepaix. On November 5, 2022, though, President Brown decided to end his break early, and he was made president once again, and Xander stepped down from his acting President role.

This era ended after Terredepaix became an empire.

Imperial Era

Days lasted: 86

Announcement 2 declaring the empire

The Imperial era is the tenth and current era in Terredepaix. It began on November 5, 2022, when President Brown announced that he was declaring himself Emperor and making Terredepaix an empire, after getting inspired by Cambria and Paxaris. There were, and still are, mixed opinions about this, but a lot of people seemed to not mind this new change. That night, William joined an alliance of other emperors and empresses who ruled micronational empires. The day after, Emperor William I was coronated by Emperor Kael Hopkinson of the Empire of Vendaliba.

I, William Sawyer Brown, do solemnly swear, to the best of my ability, to, my whole life, weather it be long or short, to the service and devotion of the Terredepaixan peoples, and to the key principles of equality, peace, and justice, and to our glorious imperial family, to which we belong to and love so dearly and faithfully. -Emperor Brown during his “swear” in speech

Hello fair and fine people of Terredepaix! Today is a great day, for I will be officially coronated today! This is a big milestone not just for Terredepaix, but for me myself. As your emperor, I will take great care of our fellow people and citizens, our imperial possessions, including our lands abroad, and I will protect the fundamental pieces and principles of Terredepaix, to which the nation was founded upon: Peace, Equality, and Justice. I will make Terredepaix flourish as it has so many times over so many eras under my rule. I will not let my nation, nor it’s peoples, my peoples, down. -Emperor Brown during his coronation speech

After the coronation, Emperor William went to work on creating a set of principles for the empire, called the imperial principles, which would act as basically a constitution of sorts for the empire. In the imperial principles, it lists out basic things like how the empire shall be run, what it is, what it stands for, etc. He also made some imperial decrees. That same day, Emperor William went outside and made a propaganda video for the imperial army of Terredepaix. During the creation of the propaganda video, Emperor William’s little sister, heir to the throne Madison Brown, chased Emperor William around with a plush stick, and began hitting him with it. Emperor William took this as a threat and assassination attempt, and this declared war on Madison, and her loose micronation, Madisonland. He promptly stormed into the territory of Madisonland, Madison’s bedroom, and proclaimed it as a part of the Empire. She then barged into William’s room and proceeded to annex his bedroom. Eventually, they came to an agreement. They ended the war, and dropped both of their annexations. That night, Emperor William and Emperor Xander of Paxaris agreed to do a land exchange. On November 12, 2022, Terredepaix significantly downsized its territory, and the next day held elections for new governors of the new provinces. That same day, November 13, 2022, the usually calm and peaceful state of Terredepaix was shattered when the Anti Monarchist Organization (AMO,) declared war on a dear Terredepaixan ally and fellow MPA member, the Empire of Cronic, after a deadline they set for the Cronican government to dissolve it’s monarchy and install a democratic republic arrived, and Cronic had not given up their monarchy. Emperor William was serving as Cronican Prime Minister at the time, and thus found no other choice but to get involved in the conflict, known as the Cronican Civil War. Later on in the day, Emperor William declared war on the AMO, and Terredepaix saw its first ever declaration of war since the Terredepaixan-Paxari “War” back in august of 2022. Terredepaix and it’s allies, as well as the MPA, are currently working to defeat the AMO and end the Cronican Civil War, and bring peace and prosperity back to Cronic. This conflict is currently ongoing. Also on that day, Terredepaix officially gained one of its provinces that it had recently given to the Empire of Vendaliba back, in exchange for Vendaliba receiving Isle Royale. On November 16, 2022, the Empire of Garakhem (also sometimes known as the Moloxxia of Garakhem) gave Terredepaix some land in an island in the Pacific Ocean, which was integrated into the empire as a territory and given the name “New Garakh Island.” On November 20, 2022, Terredepaix officially condemned the sports organization, FIFA, for being corrupt and hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and condemned Qatar for its human rights violations, anti-LGBTQ+ laws, etc. Many new flags were adopted for he Imperial Possessions on this day, too. Also on the 20th, King Jamie of the Land of the Bears gifted Terredepaix some land, a tree in the capital of the Land of the Bears, Bearlan, which Terredepaix named “St. Alansberg.” On November 23, 2022, a motto contest was held within Terredepaix to choose an official motto for the micronation, which ended up being futile as only one person sent in a submission. Emperor William decided to just go with the motto that he had adopted a bit earlier, “onwards and upwards, always!” Many new ministries were created on November 23, including the ministry of entertainment, ministry of culture, ministry of arts, and ministry of law enforcement. On November 24, 2022, Emperor William annexed his hometown, but the claims were soon relinquished. On November 26, 2022, Emperor William annexed an oil mill by the Browndon Province. Also on that day, A new imperial government service was created: the Terredepaixan Imperial National Park Service (TINPS,) after Emperor William passed imperial law X. In accordance with this new service being created, Emperor William decided to name 3 new national parks, which would be the first ever national parks in Terredepaixan history. From December 5, 2022- December 8, 2022, Emperor William took a short break, and put Emperor Darth of Cambria in charge while Emperor William was on his break. On December 7, 2022, Terredepaix entered a state of national mourning to recognize and remember the attacks on the U.S naval base of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which dragged the United States into World War II. On December 13, 2022, Emperor William decided to loosen the Emperor/Empress's power by installing a constitutional monarchy, which included a Prime Minister, Official Legislature, etc. The legislature would be called the Terredepaixan Imperial Parliament, and Doc of Cambria would be elected as Prime Minister. Prime Minister Doc initiated a policy to help fix Terredepaixan political parties, by making 1 member parties merge with other parties. This, as predicted, fixed the political party problem that had plagued Terredepaixan politics since political parties were introduced in the Republic of Terredepaix. On December 28, 2022, Emperor William I introduced his 5 year plan for Terredepaix, after being inspired by the Emperor of the Empire of Cronic’s 10 year plan which he had introduced the night before. The theme of Emperor William’s 5 year plan is to make Terredepaix less of an online dependent state and more of a physical, serious, and developed state. The plan was initiated on January 1, 2023, and will end on January 1, 2028.

Year One

2023

The Terredepaixan Government will begin printing out official laws passed by the parliament so that there can be physical documentations of them as well. They will be kept in a special binder along with all other important Terredepaixan documents. New imperial flags will be ordered and put in various places, and an official outfit for the Emperor will be created. A drone will help scavenge and explore throughout Terredepaix, and an imperial economy will be officially and fully created. An official website will also be made.

Year Two

2024

We will explore and discover and chart out Terredepaixan territory, and we will look to expand our empire by expanding and conquering and gaining imperial possessions across the world. Diplomacy with other states will also be heavily expanded.

Year Three

2025

Infrastructure will start rolling out, with a tree house looking to be built, among other things. More national parks will also be added to help preserve and protect Terredepaix’s natural wonders.

Year Four

2026

The discord server will become just an online hub for Terredepaix, and we will become way less dependent on the internet for survival.

Year Five

2027

Terredepaix will be an almost entirely physical state, with online things comprising of a small percent of Terredepaix.

On January 28, 2023, Emperor William I declared that the Empire would switch its government type from a Constitutional Monarchy to an Absoulte Monarchy once again, as it was when the Empire was first started. Upon this declaration, the office of Prime Minister of Terredepaix was dissolved, and the Prime Minister at the time, Doc, lost his power, and his cabinent was dissolved. Emperor William I also annonced that this would be the first of many changes that he will be making to Terredepaix in the coming days.

This era ended after Emperor William I changed Terredepaix into a Federal Republic again, and then back into a Constitutional Monarchy.
