The Kingdom of Animalia, commonly known as just Animalia, is a sovereign micronation within the State of California. Animalia was founded on the basic principles of animal rights and human rights.
Animalia is made up of four communities: Birdland, Hamsterland, Rodentia and Fiducia. Fiducia is the only part of the kingdom that is not geographically attached to the rest of the country. Animalia is surrounded by the land of the neighboring country, the United States of America.
Animalia is a constitutional monarchy with a direct democracy. The monarch is Queen Peaches, who has reigned since 2021, making her the second female head of state in Animalian history. Animalia's capital is Concursus, where most of the population lives.
The creation of the Animalian Kingdom resulted from the merging of two kingdoms. The King of Birdland and the King of Hamsterland decided to form a united kingdom after the death of King Baby of Birdland.
History
Unification of kingdoms
The Kingdom of Animalia was officially established on December 5, 2010 after the death of King Baby of Birdland passed away suddenly. The Heir to the Throne from Birdland, Prince Bertie, decided to talk with the neighboring King from Hamsterland on unification of the two kingdoms. The talks were successful and within twenty four hours the Kingdom of Animalia was established. It was then agreed upon that Prince Bertie of Birdland would become the King of Animalia and the King of Hamsterland would become the automatic Heir to the Throne in the new kingdom.
Transition to a parliamentary democracy
A few years after the unification of the kingdoms, a group of citizens had an idea to create a parliament. The idea was quite popular in general but the King was uncertain. Eventually King Bertie agreed to it and allowed citizens to have free elections and vote for a parliament.
Transition to a direct democracy
Upon Queen Peaches’ ascension to the throne there was a one year period of uncertainty in the kingdom of how to move forward politically. The Queen proposed to re-adopt an old constitution written by King Bertie, hoping it would help simplify the government and unite the population. The military organized a constitutional convention of citizens where the constitution was unanimously adopted by a voice vote on 28 September 2022.
