The Borough of Hagia Aikaterini (Hellenic: Ϝάστυ Ἁγίας Αἰκατερίνης, romanised: Wásty Hajíās Ekaterínīs, pronounced: [ˈwasti haˈʝi.aːs ɛ.ka.teˈri.niːs]) is one of the ten boroughs of Græcia, the second-level administrative divisions of the micronation, and the legislative and judicial capital of Græcia. It was formed in August 2020 AD, located in a neighborhood of Athens, Attica, Hellas, consisting of two districts.

Name

The Borough of Hagia Aikaterini was named in honour of its patron saint, Saint Catherine. For the sake of brevity, the Borough is referred to as Hagia Aikaterini (Hellenic: Ἁγία Αἰκατερίνη, romanised: Hajía Ekaterínī [haˈʝi.aː ɛ.ka.teˈri.niː]).

Hagia Aikaterini was part of the Aegean Voivodeship, alongside Andriopolis, and Vathy, between 1 March 2021 and 10 June 2022, when the Atthicon Voivodeship was established. The government decided to make a switch and include Hagia Aikaterini in the newly formed voivodeship, thus leaving only two boroughs in the Aegean.

History

The Borough of Hagia Aikaterini was formed on 20 August 2020 AD, alongside the boroughs of Andriopolis, and Čěrneś, making it one of the three original boroughs of Græcia.
