The Islamic Kingdom of Kaliqan (/ˌkälɪˈtʃän/), formerly and colloquially referred to as Albulenia[c] is a micronation primarly located in Kosovo. It has 2 other territories in Germany and a second in Kosovo. Kaliqan was founded in April 2022 and obtained sovereignty in October 2022.
Kaliqan is an absolute monarchy governed under sharia law of the Twelver Shi'a school.
Etymology
The term "Kaliqan" derives from the town Kaliqan in Kosovo, in which its capital is located. Its previous name, "Albulenia", still commonly used, refers to the Battle of Albulena.
History
Kaliqan was founded in April 2022, and attained sovereignty in October 2022. From its establishment in April until its declaration of independence in October, it was a constitutional monarchy. On 25 October 2022, it was made a reduced absolute monarchy, and on 13 January 2024, it was made an absolute monarchy. Its founder and incumbent monarch, Emir I was removed from his role of president of Crovolia, prompting Kaliqan's independence. Nearing 2023, Kaliqan's relations with Crovolia soured, and supported its prime rival, the Red Leaf Union. It partook in a shortly lasting spy-war with Crovolia as a result. King Emir I and Dallas Kennedy, the leader of Crovolia, shared a friendship for years before Kaliqan was established. Kaliqan in early 2023 gave diplomatic support to Zeprana during the Zeprano-Elarian War. In mid-2023 during Elias' dispute for independence with Shahawkia, it also gave diplomatic support and recognition to Elias. Throughout its history, Kaliqan has joined 3 micronational unions and/or pacts, all of which it departed from.
On March 23, 2024, the first official bills were signed by the king, allowing Freemasonry, firearms for citizens over 18, and implementing the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, however later being amended, implementing the Hanbali school.
On October 3, 2024, the king signed a bill stating that on from 00:00, October 4, 2024, Kaliqan will no longer be governed under the ideologies of Kaliqanism, and that Kaliqan will implement Shi'a Islam as the official state religion.
Politics and government
Kaliqan is an absolute monarchy. There are 4 ranks in Kaliqan's executive: king, grand duke, prince, and duke. Dallas Kennedy, a close friend of Emir I served as the heir of Kaliqan and king of Kaninburg, then later resigned. The grand duke of Kaliqan is not used for regional status. Each province of Kaliqan is governed by a king who may make laws that only apply in their corresponding province, with the permission of the king of Kaliqan. Kings of provinces are appointed directly by the monarch.
The nation is governed under the sharia law of Twelver Shi'a Islam, following Islamic regulation and tradition. Government officials are required to follow the Islamic faith. Law enforcement is irrelevant in Kaliqan, as it is immensely law-abiding.
Kaliqan does not have an armed force.
Early government
Kaliqan was founded as a constitutional monarchy, with Daniel I of Artharia being the first and only prime minister. Kaliqan then abolished the constitutional monarchy and was transformed into a reduced absolute monarchy, with the then parliament proposing and voting on laws, with the king of Kaninburg being able to propose laws that would only apply in Kaninburg.
Political parties
Kaliqan is a single-party state, with the Kaliqani Royal Party officially being established on Aug. 15, 2024.
