The Grand Duchy of Flemen, more commonly known as Flemen, is a micronation in London. The Grand Duke is the Head of State. And the First Minister is the Head of Government. The people do vote in elections, however, the election does not decide who the First Minister is. The Grand Duke will invite the leader of a party (normally the largest one) to form a government in their name.

Etymology

The name 'Flemen' comes from the House of Flemen. Which is the current Royal Family. The Nation is Considered as a Grand Duchy and not a Kingdom due to its relation with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The nation of Flemen has the same laws as the UK, and all new laws passed by the British Government will also count as party of Flemen law. The Grand Duchy of Flemen cannot pass any laws itself, out of respect for the UK. However, the Council of Flemen can do certain things. They are responsible for the military, for the economy, foreign affairs, and much more.

History

Flemen was founded on the 27th September 2021 by Christian Flemen, now Grand Duke Christian I. It was founded by him and several other of his close companions. The Grand Duchy mainly follows the Church of England, however, they stand out for their links to Margaret Thatcher. With Christian Thatcher being a distant relative of her. Instead of a patron saint, they have Margaret Thatcher.
