Location of Glozhenia

Glozhenia is a proposed state envisioned by Yan Vjatjeslavitsj and Shady Morsi. Although Glozhenia was initially mentioned as an independent state within the Confederation of Alfea-Glozhenia, this confederation ultimately failed to materialize. However, in 2024, the concept was resurrected as a "cultural and constructed language project." It is rather described as Shady Morsi's last attempt to form a micronation. Though Morsi has announced that he woud not take any role besides being its foreign minister Glozhenia was initially proposed as a directional republic, though the idea of a monarchy has gained significant popularity among its proponents.

Glozhenia claims a small, unnamed rock located in Glozhene Cove. This location is named after the settlement of Glozhene and the homonymous Glozhene Monastery in northern Bulgaria, from which the proposed nation derives its name The modest territorial claim of Glozhenia is rooted in Yan Vjatjeslavitsj's literal interpretation of the concept of a micronation. Vjatjeslavitsj believes that claiming a small, unnoticed rock would increase the chances of international recognition. He posits that nations are more likely to oppose large territorial claims, whereas a minimal claim might be overlooked. Furthermore, Vjatjeslavitsj emphasizes that a nation's essence is defined by its people rather than its geographical size.

Etymology

The formation of the Provisorische Kommission Glozhenie (PKG) was announced on 5 June 2024, to govern Glozhenia. Meanwhile, the PKG confirmed that it would hold a referendum on its governance.

Judictional

The Supreme Court of Glozhenia is the highest court in Glozhenia It has jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters triable in the judicial system, and is the supreme court of appeal in these cases. It has jurisdiction to review the law, and to certify questions of law, to determine miscarriages of justice.

The Court does not have jurisdiction over cases involving claims against administrators or public bodies, which fall within the jurisdiction of administrative courts, for which the Council of State acts as the supreme court of appeal; nor over cases involving constitutional issues, which fall within the jurisdiction of the Grandmaster; nor over cases involving disputes about which of these courts has jurisdiction, which are heard by the Jurisdictional Disputes Tribunal. Collectively, these four courts form the topmost tier of the Glozheninan court system.

Administrative divisions

Glozhenia is comprised of four municipalities, the largest of which is Barakov, and two special administrative regions. The council elects the mayor and their deputies, referred to as councilors, from within its ranks. Politically, it is customary for the candidate for the mayoral position to be indirectly chosen by voters through the leader of the most popular list.

The primary responsibilities of the municipalities are to provide local services to their citizens. Additionally, the municipalities serve as constituencies for the National Assembly, due to Glozhenia's size. The municipality of Syrezol holds a special status, as does the special administrative regions of Emily's Narrow, and Stoneridge Pass, which is under the direct control of the national government.

Geography

A topographical map of Glozhenia

A satellite map of Glozhenia

Glozhenia is situated on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, specifically near Glozhene Cove and Boyd Strait. the nation is positioned between Alfeus and Barrow Islands. Glozhenia comprises four primary ice-covered islands, encircled by numerous small islets and rocks, many of which have surface areas measuring only a few square centimeters. Additionally, Glozhenia is surrounded by other islets and rocks, which are characterized by sparse patches of ice.

Climate

The climate is cloudy and humid all year round and very strong westerly winds blow at all seasons. Some of the sunniest weather is associated with outbreaks of very cold weather from the south in late winter and spring. Mean summer temperatures are only about 1.5 °C (34.7 °F) and those in winter are about −5 °C (23 °F). The effect of the ocean tends to keep summer temperatures low and prevent winter temperatures from falling as low as they do inland to the south.
