Kingdom of Riveria, or simply Riveria, was the Federal Republic of Riveria when is was governed as a monarchy. This was what Riveria was like for most of it's existence, Starting from Late 2021 to to December 2023.
It was originally declared as a monarchy because the co-president Dameon Townsend believed the title of king was noble, and it also fit with other micronations that existed at the time.
The Kingdom of Riveria was officially dissolved in December 2023 with the creation of a new constitution, transforming it into a republic.
History
Dissolution of the republic and foundation of the Kingdom
Riveria went inactive not long after being founded. In summer of 2021 a model Minecraft world was created based on the micronation, which caused Riveria to later be described by its founders as an "inter-dimensional country", despite more or less being a fictionalized, larger version of it. The world was also later abandoned by the two creators when Aiden moved away to Missouri City at the end of December 2021. Riveria was reformed into the Kingdom of Riveria a few months before Aiden Russell moved away. at this time, Riveria was governed as an absolute monarchy. A fictionalized version of Riveria was used in a school presentation in early 2022 by Dameon, which described it in a more fantasy maner, such as the fictional principality of Equestria existing along side it. Riveria remained an absolute monarchy a long time after this.
First North Texas Micronational War
On May 2nd, 2023, it was discovered that Shattered-Lands ruled by the Shattered Souls, formerly lead by Dameon, have declared war on it's former leader and Riveria under the new leader, President Ryan Long. This conflict has resulted in the king recruiting citizens onto their side in order to have larger dominance than the Shattered Souls. Later on, another micronation, Pongu, declared war on Riveria after one of the Riverian citizens who was friends with the Co-Supreme Leader of Pongu was banned for treason after he was discovered to be working for the Shattered Souls. After this, the conflict was dubbed the "North Texas Micronational War" because Riveria wasn't just fighting the Shattered Souls. The Shattered-Lands dissolved along after one of its Puppet states, Ligmabutthole was annexed on 12 October 2023. On October 14, the Shattered-Lands officially dissolved. However the war continued on for another 16 days as the other Puppet state, Suckmaasshole continued to exist. Pongu was also forgotten and dissolved by it's founder on 27 October, ending their involvement.
End of the First North Texas Micronational War
On October 30 2023 the day just before Halloween, The five month and one day long North Texas Micronational War finally came to an end after the Shattered-Land's former Puppet state Suckmaasshole officially dissolved, destroying the last remaining asset of the Shattered-Lands sphere of influence. This starts the Era of Peace in the Polarian Alliance.
Second North Texas Micronational War
On 9 November 2023 just ten days after the first one ended, a second war started when a group by the name of J.T Jones, declared war on Riveria and the rest of the Polarian Alliance. This caused the monarch to send out more applications because of him dismissing his soldiers when the first one ended and needed them back. Three days later on November 13 Triston Jones threatened to Rape every Riverian and Dinglese citizen when the first week of December rolls around. Just two days later, he took back his threat, just after Dingleville declared inactivity until mid-December. On 16 of November, J.T Jones signed the treaty with Ohio Rizzland, another micronation that declared war on Riveria on November 15.
Dissolution of the Kingdom
In December 2023, a new constitution was drafted officially dissolving the Kingdom of Riveria and founding the new Federal Republic of Riveria. This was done because the monarch stated that his position did not align with his political beliefs. Dameon Townsend considers himself a Social Liberal or a Social Democrat, and an anti-authoritarian, a few ideologies that don't normally fit with Monarchism.
Politics and government
Riveria's government is a parliamentary constitution al hereditary monarchy, the monarch is given down by generations, Riveria also has a parliament, a prime minister, and a cabinet. It is a de facto absolute monarchy, but has some combined elements with a military dictatorship. Neverless, the monarchy rules with absolute power completely independent of the military.
Riveria became a dictatorship because of the monarchy declaring a state of emergency and needed quick decisions to be made, this is was only intended to be temporary however. It is unknown whether Riveria will transition back to a democracy anytime soon. Despite this, the monarch still allows civil liberties and human rights within Riveria, essentially turning it into a benevolent dictatorship.
Head of state
The Riverian Monarch is the head of state of the Kingdom of Riveria, his power is greatly limited by the Riverian Constitution, but still retains significant political powers and duties. These include the Right to declare war with permission from the parliament, commanding the armed forces, appointing the prime minister, and is in charge of foreign affairs. The monarch also has the right to sign bills into law, which then require the countersignature of the prime minister. The monarch is also responsible for appointing the presidents of each region after they have been nominated by the people of the region.
Head of government
The Riverian prime minister is the head of government of Riveria, they are the leader of the parliament and the cabinet, they also have countersignature responsibilities to officially put a law into affect. The prime minister is also acts as the chief justice of Riveria. The prime minister may have a deputy prime minister if they so choose.
Legislature
The Parliament of Riveria is the micronation's de jure unicameral legislative body, it is headed by the prime minister. the parliament has just three seats, all of them are going to vote on a new bill introduced by one of the members. If the majority say yes, the bill will be introduced to the prime minister who can either approve or decline the bill, making it a law or not. Like the prime minister, the members of parliament have a term length of two years and can be re-elected with no term limit.
Suspension
On September 13 2023, the monarch formally suspended the parliament in order to focus more on the war. The monarch does plan on reinstalling the parliament after the war is over or at least when they reach a major turning point.
Law and order
Currently, it is considered treason if any Riverian citizen were to be secretly working for the enemy(s) of Riveria, attending one of their meetings, or simply supporting them in any way possible. Anyone who breaks Riverian Law will be forced to watch the entire movie of Foodfight! from start to finish with no breaks. This was due to the film having such a low critic and viewer score that it would be considered a "punishment" to watch it. Permanent expulsion is also possible depending on how severe the offense is. Some laws that exist are conversion therapy being banned to protect children.
Military
The Riverian Royal Defense Force is the official armed forces of the Kingdom of Riveria. it was formed on 15 may 2023, and every non-government affiliated citizen was drafted, The monarch however is the only exception already being the commander and chief of the armed forces. This was because of the two recent wars with the Shattered-Lands, being a very large demand for military personnel.
Administrative regions
Mainland Riveria is divided into three regions, two of which are under devolved administration having their own presidents. The Outback region however is under direct administration by the Riverian government. The two devolved regions are then further divided into provinces, which may or may not be divided into further municipalities. The Outback Region is only divided into municipalities. Riveria also has an overseas dependency, which also has a devolved government.

Economy

Riveria is also heavily dependent on foreign individual support, like on 25 may 2023, one of the business academy students offered business with Riveria to provide Riveria, with weapons, training, and overall financial support. The business agreement was intended to be finalized by the end of 2023, however this never ended up happening.
