Filikigi is a micronation in central Ohio, United States. The nation was created in November 2023 to help accomplish one of Penn76's dreams of ruling a nation, also after the former Arlish Republic The country is the first member and lead nation of the Midwest Micronational Alliance, and has an HDI of 0.58385. The country consists of seven cities, split up into two regions. The North Region includes: Chicago, Woodhaven, and Athenia. The South Region consists of Jacksonvil, Gague, Oak Park, Antorinor, and the nation's capital, Bird City.

Filikigi is an Oligarchy, meaning that a small group of three to five people rule the nation, however Penn76 is the only person to be in this group, thus making it a dictatorship. Filikigi Law Enforcement is the nationwide police in the country.

Filikigi currently accepts trade from any nation, however there are some microstates that the nation does not recognize such as Molossia. With the nation being fairly new, the country is very neutral about most nations.

Etymology

The name of the country comes from the Greek words Filiki, which means "Friendly", and the word "Gi", meaning "Land."

Politics and government

The Government in Filikigi is an Oligarchy, consisting of a Dictator, The Big Four, the North Region Team, and the South Region Team. The "Region Teams" each manage one of the assigned regions in Filikigi Territory.

Dictator

The Dictator is Penn76, as he goes by on the internet. The Dictator has complete power over the whole country, and can manage any city in the country, including the City of Chicago even though the city is a True Democracy. If the Dictator were to die, a mini Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament will be held across The Big Four to decide the new dictator.

The Big Four

The Big Four is a group of four leaders that have almost complete control over the country (excluding the city of Chicago.) Two of the people must live in the North Region, and another two people must live in the South Region.

"Region Teams"

The Region Teams control one of each of the regions. The South Region Team controls the South Region, and the North Region Team controls the North Region except for Chicago, which the team has partial control of, as the city's type of government is a True Democracy.

Law and order

Filikigi Law Enforcement enforces the laws in the nation, hence the name. The police are divided into branches, depending on which city the enforcement is located in. The state of Filikigi also has some laws differentiating from the standard Lawset of the United States that it uses.

Law Enforcement Branches:

  • #01 Bird City
  • #02 Jacksonvil
  • #03, #05 Antorinor
  • #04, #06 Gague
  • #07, #08, #09 Oak Park
  • #10 Woodhaven
  • #11 Athenia
  • #12, #14 Chicago (#13 used to exist on Laine Island, but since the collapse of Treelog Bridge in the 21st century the Branch house has been defunct)
  • #99A/#99B National Services (99A is assigned to the North Region in Chicago, 99B is assigned to the South Region in Bird City)

Differentiating laws from the USA

Law Established Reasoning Notes
Age of both digital and physical consent being age 12 1 January 2024 "We believe that many humans, especially in the area start to undergo sexual activity at age twelve." -Statement by Penn76 on 3 January 2024 Possibly controversial law; considering that the USA places consent at age 16.
Illegal to park on major roads 28 November 2023 "The parking will disrupt traffic flow in our major cities." -Statement by Fili Transport Authority on 28 November 2023 Citizens in the country respect this law.

Military

The Military in Filikigi consists of one part, the Filikigi Ground Forces (the Army.) It has only one soldier at the moment, but plans to recruit more.

Most of the economy comes from tourism. Filikigi uses both he Midwest Krone and USD as it's currency.

Infrastructure

General Infrastructure

Unlike most countries which use the standard block-numbering system, the numbering system starts by counting every house up one staring in the Southwest direction. For example, the first building located on Central Street in Bird City in the Southwest direction will be 1 Central Street, and the one across from it will be 2 Central Street. The one located North will be 3 Central Street, and the one across from that will be 4 Central Street.

Healthcare

In Filikigi, Healthcare is currently provided by American healthcare companies, however if the country decides to open up it's own healthcare, it will be aimed to be cheap, with no practice costing over F$ 3000 or $500. No pharmacies, clinics, or hospitals are currently in the country.
