The Federal Republic of Levland, better known as Levland is a self proclaimed micronation created by Lev_10. The Federal Republic of Levland is located in the German Bundesland of Baden-Württermberg not far away from the state capital and biggest city, Stuttgart. It is 14 m² big and has a population of one. It was formed during the Levvish Independence War on 18 April 2022. It is the bedroom of Lev_10. The rest of the apartment, which is a part of Germany, but occupied by Levvish Troops, is known as Outer Levland.
Levland is a democracy and has elections every 2 years. The current Government consists of the central right party DKPL and the right-wing party LA.
Currently, it holds diplomatic relations with Damianien, Vini Pukh land, Kingdom of Svetelkia, Antonialand, Kingdom of Salanda, West Rulish Empire and Johhannestown. It is also a member state of the AOTM and a member of the UPA.
Etymology
Levland´s name originates in the Name of its founder and current president, Lev. Lev is originally a Hebrew name, which means heart. But it is also commonly used in east Slavic countries, where his parents are from. So the actual meaning of his name is Lion. The second part of Levland's name, Land, is the German word for land.
History
Independence war
On 18 April 2022, the Independence War was started, which ended two days later, with a decisive Levvish victory. The war started in Tischien, which is the capital of Levland. They not only managed to occupy Levland, but also Outer Levland. On the first day, they occupied Levland and half of Outer Levland, and on the second day, they occupied all of Levland and Outer Levland. There was not a peace deal, because Germany did not even know about Levlands existence, but, Levland declared the end of the war after all goals were completed.
Formation of Levland
The Republic was formed in the afternoon of 18 April 2022, at that point Levvish troops had all of Levland and small parts of Outer Levland under their control. In the beginning, Levland only had 5 provinces, because Nordschrankien, Westschrankien and Eingang had a union called the Westschrankunion, which was later dissolved because it was to big and overpowered. At the start Levland also had a different flag, which changed later on. The original Levland flag was a simple tricolour, which consisted of white, yellow, and cyan. The original file is unfortunately lost to history, so we only have a low-quality screenshot from a TikTok video.
Tellerunion
In December of 2022 (the exact date is unknown), Lev and his friends wanted to create a big Micronation consisting of their micronations or rooms. They wanted to call it the Tellerunion. However, this project was put on hold, because of disagreements within the group, and even after they agreed on their disagreements, they did not continue the project, so currently it is on ice and it is unknown if the Tellerunuion is going to form or not. However according to Lev, he does not have an interest in it, so it is safe to say that the Tellerunion has failed, or it will be without Levland.
Second Flag of Levland
On 20 April 2023, Lev_10 made a new flag of Levland, which is similar to the current version, except for the sun in the top left corner. The colours each have their meanings. The white on the top represents the clouds that you can see out the window, the walls in the room, and the purity of Levland. Cyan is Lev´s favourite colour and the state colour, so he put it there. The blue represents the Sky which you can also see out the window. The sun you can also see a rise in the morning because the window looks at the east. On the Banner, you can see a green forest, which, once again, you can see out the window, where there is a small mountain with a forest. The golden cat represents the two cats, which live in Levland and are also the state animal.
Third Flag of Levland
On 17 April 2023, Lev removed the sun from the flag, because he thought that it looked too packed with the sun. The rest of the flag stayed the same, including their meanings. It has stayed as the official flag of Levland ever since without changing.
Mosquitoe war
On a day in late December 2023 (the exact date is unknown), Lev forgot to close his window, so two mosquitoes went through the window into Levvish territory. In the evening, when Lev came home, he noticed two mosquitoes occupying the city of Buchen, west of Tischien. He saw this as an act of war and immediately declared war on the mosquitoe population. He immediately mobilized his cats to the front and grabbed a toilet paper roll. After a bit of back and forth, he managed to kill one of the mosquitoes in the western Bettland. Then, shortly after, he killed the second mosquitoe in northern Buchen and Levland won the war. To this day, the body of the second mosquitoe is sticking to the wall behind his table and reminds us about the bravery of the soldiers who risked their lives for their country. After this loss, no other mosquitoes ever tried to invade Levland again.
Communist uprising/Civil war
On 9 March 2024, some people in Blöckefeld were unsatisfied with the government, so they started a revolution. From Blöckefeld, they first occupied the city and the surrounding area, and from there they went north and west. Their goal was to surround Tischien, invade the city, and overthrow the government. But, one day later, on 10 March 2024, Levland managed to stabilize the front in the north and took defensive positions in the north. The province of Tischien also decided to ban the party LSS the same day because they blamed them for the outbreak of the civil war. The LSS tried to challenge the regional government about this decision in court, but they failed. Even though the Levvish stabilized on the northern front, the Levvish government did not manage to defend the south, and almost every city south of the A1 fell to the communists, except Panzerwerk, where the citizens, together with a small army were able to defend the city until the end of the war. On 11 March 2024, the communists had already got half of Levland, but there were already some problems on the northern and northwestern front, where their armies were being slightly pushed back, and in the south, the biggest Levvish army arrived at a small group of communist trying to occupy outer Levland. The big army split into three, surrounded the communists, and won the battle of Ikeaschrank. That day the Province of Nord Schrankien also banned the LSS, in the hope of weakening the communists' influence in their province. One day later, the Levvish armies in the north had major victories, destroyed communist armies, and started a major offensive towards Blöckefeld. At the same time, they also broke the siege of Panzerwerk. a few hours later, the Levvish armies liberated most of communist-occupied Levland and arrived in Blöckefeld, the capital of communist Levland. After arrived, they put the city of Blöckefeld under siege, where a small communist army tried to defend it. In the evening, the communists surrendered, and Levland won the civil war on 12 March 2024. During and after the civil war, the LSS, the communist party, lost most of its voters and was banned in 2 provinces. Since April, there has been a court case about the ban of the party in the entirety of Levland.
Politics and government
Levland is a democracy, where there are elections every two years in April or May. The elections are held on his discord community server, his TikTok account, his Twitter or X account and in his private whatsapp group with his friends. The current government consists of the DKPL and the LA. The parliament consists of 91 seats. There are also election polls every month, which are also held on the same plattforms as the elections, excluding Tiktok. There are 10 different parties in Levland
Early government
During the Independence war, Levland was ruled Authoritarian by the current president, Lev, because it was not a country at the start and it took a few days for all the political parties to form. After the end of the Independence War and the establishment of all the 10 parties, in late April 2022, Levland became a democracy. A few days later, shortly after the end of the independance war, at the ending of the month of April, the first parlieamental election took place.
Political parties
As of right now, there are 10 political parties in Levland, from all sides of the political compass. Going from right to left they are the NPD (Nationalist Party of Levland), the MPL (Monarchist Party of Levland), the LA (Levlands Alternative), the DKPL (Democratic Conservative Party of Levland), the BDPL (Grassroots Democratic Party of Levland), the KLP (Capitalist-Liberitarian Party), the GL (Green Levland/ Greens), the SDP (Social Democratic Party), the LBL (Liberal Alliance Levland) and the LSS (Levland Socialist State). As mentioned before in the history section, the LSS is banned in two Provinces, Tischien and Nordschrankien. Levland's government consists of the parties DKPL and LA. The most popular parties are the DKPL, the LA, the MPL and BDPL and GL with the same number of votes.
Military
Levland was involved in 3 wars in its history, the Independence war, the Mosquitoe war and the Civil war, which it won. Its army consists of President Lev_10 with his Nerf Gun and empty Toilet Paper roll as well as his two pet cats, which help the country of Levland on its way to its glorious military victories. His two cats are exceptionally well-trained soldiers, their main exercises being catching flies and running pointlessly around the apartment.
Foreign relations
Levland has diplomatic ties to the micronations of his friends and some Micronations in the Alliance of the Micronations, including, but not limited to Damianien, Vini Pukh Land, Kingdom of Svetelkia Johannestown Kingdom of Salanda, the West Rulish Empire and Antonialand. In December of 2022, most of these countries and some others wanted to unite into the Tellerunion, but it did not work out. Still, they all have good relations to this day. Levland is also part of two alliances, Levland is a member state in the Alliance of the Micronations (AOTM) and a full member state in the United Peace Alliance (UPA). There are also plans on recreating the Tellerunion, but not as a country, but rather as an alliance, which will include Levland and the nations of Lev´s friends.
Administrative regions
Levland consists of 7 provinces, but it used to be only 5. Until the beginning of 2024 Nordschrankien, Eingang, and West Schrankien used to be the biggest and most influential provinces called the Westschrankunion, but they were split up because it was so insanely overpowered compared to all the other provinces.

Tischien
In the Northeast of the country, you can find the province of Tischien. Tischien is the most populated and wealthy of the provinces, consisting of major cities like Bildschirmheim, Buchen, Stühlingen, and the capital Tischien, which is also the province capital and the place where the parliament and the government are located. It is the economic and historical hotspot of the country. It has the most advanced technology, the most modern cities, and is the most developed province overall. Tischien is a pretty small province with a size of 2,05m². Tischien was the starting point of Levland, aka the place where the Independence War was originally started. The flag of Tischien is the Levland flag because as mentioned above, it is the starting point and capital of Levland. In the top left, you can see a table because most of Tischien is the Tischhügel, which is a table. In the bottom left corner is a small white triangle which is there so the flag, excluding the white corner, looks a bit like the map of Tischien.
Südstaaten
The second most populated province is the Südstaaten, which is poorer but still very influential. The Südstaaten are in the Southeast of Levland and is 2,57m² big. It is the industrial hotspot of the country, and it has the most factories. It is the Hotspot for far-left ideologies and the place, where the socialists started the civil war. The biggest cities are Kartonien (province capital), Blöckefeld, Korbheim and Stühleburg. The colours of the flag are the same as the Levland flag, except for the red, which is there because of the communist uprising that started in Blöckefeld. The way the stripes go down a bit is supposed to represent a compass pointing down south because the Südtaaten are in the south.
Eingang
Eingang in the southwest is the third most populated and second biggest province, with a size of 2,61m², and it is the province with the largest meow speaking population, mainly because the capital of the province, Kratzbaumburg, is a cat tree, where the two cats of the president like to take a nap after a hard day of killing mosquitos in the levvish army. Other important cities are Kleiderschrank and Eingang. As mentioned earlier, it was part of the Westschrankunion until the beginning of 2024. South of the city of Kleiderschrank, the highest mountain of Levland called Schrankboxberg is located, which is as high as three meters from the floor and 460 meters above sea level. The flag of Eingang is a redesigned version of the old Westschrankunion flag, which was the old Levland flag with a closet in the top left corner. After the separation of the province of Westschrankunion, Eingang just put a door in the top left, where the closet once was.
West Schrankien
In the south, you can find West Schrankien, which is the biggest province, which is 2,69m² big. it consists of cities like Panzerwerk (province capital) and Brettheim. The flag of Westschrankien is white, black, and orange because the wall is white, one of the cupboards is black and the other one is brown, but they replaced the brown with orange on the flag because otherwise it would have looked too dirty. West Schrankien used to be part of the old province, Westschrankunion.
Nord Schrankien
Nord Schrankien is a small province that is only 1,14m² big in the North West of the country, with its capital being the small city of Nordschrank. It is the centre of art and music. Nord Schrankien does not have a flag, just like Bettland and Fensterstadt. Nord Schrankien used to be part of the old province, called the Westschrankunion.
Bettland
Bettland is in the north and has barely anything. It is the least populated province and has the least number of people per km². The capital is Bettingen, which is also the least populated province capital in all of Levland. Even though it has the least number of people, it is one of the biggest provinces and is 2,56m² big. Bettland dosent have a province flag.
Fensterstadt
Fensterstadt is the smallest province of Levland with a tiny size of 0,84m². It is a tiny strip of Land in the east directly at the German border. It has a city called Heizen. Because of its small size and tiny population people often joke about it not existing, similar to Bielefeld or Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Fensterstadt dosent have a flag.
Outer Levland
Outer Levland is not a province, but it is the Levvish occupied territory in the Federal Republic of Germany. Outer Levland is 71m² big, over 5 times bigger than (inner) Levland. Levland is Levs room, and Outer Levland is the rest of the apartement. Its biggest city is Sofastadt, which is even bigger than Tischien.

Levland does not produce anything, so it has to import all its goods from the neighbouring country of Germany.
Levland has a capitalist free market system, but because it only has one citizen you could argue that Levlnd does not have any economic activity in existence.
Culture
The culture of Levland is a mix of the russian and german culture.

The most common religion in Levland is Atheism with 100% of the population being atheists.

Media
Since the 26 June 2024, Levland has its own Newspaper, called the "Tischien Weekly Newspaper", or "Wochenzeitung Tischien" in german. New articeles for the newspaper are posted on the discord server. Contrary to its name, the `weekly` newspaper brings out new articeles very rarely. They do bring out a new article if something interesting or important happens in Levland, but due to Levland being a tiny insignificant micronation nothing ever happens there. The "Tischien Weekly Newspaper" is the only official media source in the country, because there are no other newspapers, tv channels or radio stations, as well as there arent any alternative ones.
