History
Foundation and Independence
The Grand Duchy was founded on April 9, 2021 by Queen Maria and by then Countess Gabriela, initially as a constituent state of Sildavia. After its establishment the Queen established the laws of Sildavia as the laws of the grand duchy, including currency; and she also assumed the title of "Grand Duchess of Mëcklewmburg-Wladir" from Countess Gabriela, who also assumed the title. On June 7, 2021 the Grand Duchess and the Queen began negotiations for the emancipation of the Grand Duchy as an independent state. Negotiations ended twenty days later on June 27 with the Treaty of Mëcklewmburg-Wladir. According to negotiations:
- The Queen would remain as Head of State of the Grand Duchy, would continue with the title of Grand Duchess, serving as adviser of state to the Head of Government.
- The Grand Duchess would act as head of state and maintain the integrity, independence and self-determination of the state.
- The two countries would now form a kind of International Organization to serve the interests of the participating countries, functioning as a political association that was called the Sildavian Commonwealth of Nations, until now composed of Sildavia, the Solaryan Empire and the Grand Duchy.
After Independence and Hiatus
After the independence the country became a Diarchy, rulled by two Co-Grand Duchesses, one head of state and another head of government. Shortly after, the Queen abdicated as the Co-Grand Duchess leaving Gabriela as sole monarch. Maria was granted the tile of Countess von Reinbitz and became Chancellor (Prime Minister) of the country. The Grand Duchy entered the Conference of Santiago under the rule of Countess Maria and shortly after entered in a hiatus.
Reorganization
On the 10 July 2024 the former Co-Grand Duchess inflicted a coup d'etat dethroning the then Grand Duchess Gabriela, and installing her mother Countess Sonia as sovereign. Reforms were made and the the country was converted to a Duchy under the rule of the Duchess Sonia as Head of State and the Hereditary Princess Maria as Head of Government and representative of the country.
