The Kingdom of Woodshire Hill is a micronation founded by Jonah Nichols (King Jonah I) and Max Stenner (King Max I) on 15 May 2020. This micronation was founded due to all information on their previous micronation, the Grand Duchy of Wefren, being deleted by Emperor Jonathon of Austenasia. In essence, the Grand Duchy of Wefren ceased to exist. The original kings of Woodshire Hill suspected that Jonathon had done this in an attempt to “take over” Wefren, although this was later proven to be false.

Government

Monarchs

Woodshire: Jonah Nichols (King Jonah I)
Hilltop: Max Stenner (King Max I)
Monarchs, on a national level, may do as they please as long as they all agree. However, they may only manage religion on a district-wide level and nothing else. Other district-wide decisions are made by the District Minister and the citizens, however, monarchs can turn down any decisions once the vote is in. Monarchs can also appoint barons. However, calls can be made against this decision, resulting in a vote.

District Ministers

Woodshire: Chris Nichols
Hilltop: Donna Stenner
District Ministers can declare a vote on any topic they would like that could change legislation. The citizens then vote on it, and if the monarch agrees to their decision, the legislation is passed.

Barons

Pershing: Chris Nichols
Witham: Nobody
Stevenshous: Daniel Avery
Bertia: Harrison Bert
Mere: Lynn Avery
Barons can make any decisions they would like for their city, but only under the agreement of the District Minister and the monarch.

Election Process

Every year, on 16 May, a new district minister is elected for each district. Anyone at 11 years or up (who is not a Monarch) is able to run for district minister. However, if nobody over 11 wants to run for district minister in a certain district, kids 10 and under can run. The citizens then vote on one from each party, and the most popular candidates from each party will then enter round 2 of voting. The monarch will pick the final district minister.
