Mygdonia is an Exarchate of the Empire of Imvrassia. It was established on 1 May 2013 as a sovereign Kingdom under the name of New Byzantium. On 17 June 2016 New Byzantium was put under Protectorate of the Kingdom of Imvrassia and the same day became a member of the Commonwealth of Hellenic Micronations. On 30 December 2019 it was annexed to Imvrassia. By Imperial Degree on 1 January 2022 it was renaimed to Mygdonia, an ancient territory-part of Ancient Thrace, which comprised the plains around Thessalonica. On 16 June 2023 a partial revision of the Constitution took place and more specifically changes in the administrative division of the Empire and the Province remains the only administrative division and so Mygdonia granted the status of a Province. From 20 February 2024 Mygdonia granted the status of an Exarchate again.
