Trivia
The name "Bogderland" has no meaning at all nor is it related to Borderlands. The alternate name of the Kingdom of Bogderland "Bogderia" also has no meaning. The word came from the demonym of Kingdom of Bogderia "Bogderian" but removed the letter 'n' from it. Bogderia is not related on Bulgaria.
The reason why Nam Palace is not in the capital is it was inspired by the Tokugawa Shogunate where the capital is in Kyoto but the government is in the city of Edo (Tokyo). The name of the city where the Nam Palace is located is New Edo and it was also inspired on the same era mentioned earlier.
The currency of Bogderia is called Bog-ALP (BLP). If you wondered why is it called like that the reason is the real meaning of Bog-ALP is Alimango Pera in English, Crab Money. The name was suggested by one of the Kingdom's citizens when he told them what to name their currency but he did make Alimango Pera sound a little good and professional by calling it ALP and to be distinguished from others, the King put Bogderian before the name itself and to make things short, the King put Bog then a dash - and lastly, the name of the currency itself.
The name of the King Ivan Dhommirenn is a little related to his name in real life. His first name is John but the Bogderian culture is a little inspired on Russian culture, he just put the Russian equivalent of John and it is called Ivan. The word Dhommirenn is just a randomized spelling of Domiren. the word has no meaning and the King wanted it to looked cool if it is posted somewhere so he changed the spelling a little and the results are quite simple yet original.
Bogderian history is like Japan that started during the Boshin War. It started as Monarchy then it became a Dictatorship and went back to Monarchy again.
Bogderia never had a real human person recognized as the Bogderian Leader's wife because all of his wives are waifus. The First Queen of Bogderia, Queen Emilia of New Edo is Emilia from the Japanese Anime and Manga series Re: Zero while the Second Queen of Bogderia, Queen Ayaka of Petersburg is Kamisato Ayaka from the video game Genshin Impact.
Laws
The laws of the Shogunate of Bogderia are inspired to the laws of the Republic of the Philippines and modified it a little. These are the four examples of laws that are created by the King himself and exclusive to Bogderia itself:
- Any form of Pornography is strictly prohibited. For people who wants to make or use this kind of content, they are required to have a license to do so.
- Same-sex marriage is condemned by the government because same-sex civil union is their way of helping LGBTQ+ couples since the government sees marriage as a sacred concept.
- Abortion is legal but it must be done by a professional doctor.
- People who denounces the Shogun will be sentenced on life imprisonment.
- Soft drinks are treated like alcohol and the drinking age for soft drinks is 18 years old.
- Smoking and vaping is strictly prohibited except to designated smoking areas within the micronational jurisdiction.
Culture
Bogderian culture is mainly Filipino culture mixed with Japanese culture. Some of their culture are influenced by German and Russian culture and it also helped the Shogunate of Bogderia have it's own unique culture.
The Russian and German culture influenced the flag of the Shogunate of Bogderia. The flag they used is the naval ensign of Russian Navy and the Iron Cross in the middle is from Prussia in which is (obviously) German.
Bowing is practiced as a usual social gesture since Bogderian culture is inspired to Japanese culture.

History
On April 21, 2022, the people of Bogderia claimed the land of Pasay and Paranaque, uniting and taking it as the land chosen by God the King said. They tried conquering the whole of mainland Luzon (although no Physical contact happened btw) but they failed because of a lack of resources. While they maintained their Pasay and Paranaque territories, on May 3, 2022, the Bogderians proclaimed their independence and declared themselves as an Empire.
Since their independence, Monarchy is their form of government not until May 13, 2022, when the Emperor completed a book made by himself and it is his own form of dictatorship (the book is not yet for sale btw) and he implemented it in the same day turning Bogderland Empire into an Authoritarian Dictatorship state but the Emperor is still the Emperor.
After one month and four days, the Empire of Bogderland renamed itself to the Kingdom of Bogderia because a reformation happened. The reformation happened because of a micronational war that Bogderland got defeated. The Emperor is not the Emperor anymore but he is the King of the reformed nation. The regime of Dictatorship ended on June 17, 2022, and the changes came to effect on the morning of June 18, 2022.

-People are not allowed to enter and leave the country. All citizens outside the country are ordered to go back (although this is just written).
August 31, 2022, the Isolation policy that the King declared before was lifted after nine days of Isolation. The exact main reason on why the policy was implemented remains a secret.
In December 10, 2022 at exactly 10:51pm, the King signed an Isolation decree to fix it's internal problems. This is also referred as the Second Isolation of Bogderia by Bogderians.
