Before May 2020
In the 1950s, there was a field and a barn in the kingdom. in the 1960s or later or earlier the barn was demolished and moved. In the 1980s, trees and weeds began to grow in the fields. They were sown from a nearby forest.
The first trip to this area took place in 2017. In March, the expeditions were completed and the area was explored. From April 2020, independence movements arose in Lukland.
Declaration of Independence
The King of Lukland had thought about the founding of Micronation before, but considered it too young. In the course of March and April, in the Capital Province and the Greater Lukland Province, great felling was carried out and most of the trees were damaged. During this period, independence movements arose in this area. On May 12, 2020 at noon, Luke I entered the country and announced the Kingdom of Lukland. He put the first flag into the ground, proclaimed the Kingdom of Lukland and the first national anthem, "Hey Slavs", was played. On May 13, the Declaration of Independence was printed at 20.00.
