The Kingdom of Malpok is a self declared sovereign state commonly known as a Micronation, located in Europe. It is the successor state to the Democratic People's Republic of Malpok - founded by a discord user known as RandomGuy.
History
The nation first emerged as the Democratic People's Republic of Malpok (DPRM). The DPRM was a nation that proclaimed itself to be communist and was overseen by a Supreme Leader and a Prime Minister. However, eventually some democracy was introduced. Luke of Wellmoore joined the nation and established the now defunct Monarcho-Conservative party, which achieved election success in the first general election. The party attained most of the legislature's seats and Luke became the Prime Minister which helped dismantle the communist regime. On 14 November 2022, the nation's Supreme Leader resigned. After discussions, Luke was proclaimed the new Supreme Leader. On 15 November 2022 Luke dissolved the DPRM and proclaimed the establishment of the Kingdom. Luke installed himself as monarch and his royal house, the House of Wellmoore as the ruling house of the nation.
On 7 June 2023, Malpok became a crown dependency of the Land of the Bears.
