Vannfjell, officially the Kingdom of Vannfjell (English: Kingdom of Vannfjell, Japanese: ヴァンフィエル王国 rom. Vu~anfieru ōkoku) is a constitutional monarchy surrounded by the State of Colorado in the United States. Formally founded by Queen Diana in late-2018, Vannfjell has established a legislature to create laws and policies pertaining to a micronation free of turmoil, in which elections are to be held in February 2020.
Etymology
The name Vannfjell is Norwegian. "Vann" is Norwegian for Water as "Fjell" is translated to Mountain. Wanting to pay homage to the mountains and the Arkansas River from their Macronation, Diana wanted to find a way to put the names together. Thus, Vannfjell was formed.
