Limbolia, officially the Republic of Limbolia, is a sovereign state, most often characterized as a micronation. Limbolia is situated in Northern Europe and is completely surrounded by The Kingdom of Denmark on all 5 sides, with the Capital being Limburg.
Government and politics
The Limbolian Government is Buddist Socialist[1], with the Buddhist Socialist Party as the ruling Party. The Limbolian Council is the official Legislation of Limbolia, and has one political party which only includes the Buddhist Socialist Party.
Limbolia is traditionally considered an anocracy since the President is there until she resigns or dies, but the president has nearly no power over the Limbolian Council so parties can get democratically elected into positions. The Limbolian Council has no power to remove the President from her position.[2]
Foreign relations
When it comes to treaties, Limbolia only has a Mutual Respect Statement, which also serves as mutual recognition. The State of Samizdat often holds events like football, Music Festivals, and more which Limbolia likes to participate in.

Historical background
Denmark until 2022
Limbolia 2022 - 2023
Limbolia 2023-2024
Limbolian Socialist Republic 2024-2024
Limbolia was officially established on the 20th of March 2022[3], but after 5 months of existing it was dissolved as President Sylvia's Mental Health completely crashed. On the 1st of August 2023 Limbolia was reestablished as the Republic of Limbolia, Sylvia finally made a currency called the Limbolian Dollar which was tied to the EURO, 1 Euro = 2 Limbolian Dollars, The Limbolian Dollar could not be used outside of Limbolia as it only had Official Recognition by The Limbolian Republic, The EURO's only use in Limbolia is trading in for the Limbolian Dollar at the Limbolian Bank, you could not trade in the Danish Krone for Limbolian Dollar or EURO in the Limbolian Bank as Sylvia did not wanna do the Math. Sylvia also made the Limbolian Pass Port which would be issued out to any and all Limbolian Citizens who reside within the Kingdom of Denmark or Limbolia itself. On the 1st of August, 8 hours after the reestablishment of Limbolia, the Limbolian Website was back up and running.
Foundation
The Republic of Limbolia was originally founded on the 20th of March 2022, it was founded as a Christian nation who was struggling to stay alive. While having written a declaration of independence, the young nation had no constitution, and no way to sustaining itself, and no plans for the future.
Dissolution and Second Republic
The First Republic of Limbolia would be dissolved, it’s unknown when it happened but the First Republic was dissolved so Sylvia Andersen could focus more on her mental health. On the 1st of August 2023, the Second Republic of Limbolia had been declared, this time Limbolia has made its own currency, constitution, passport, and a proper structure.
Al-Qaeda's War on Limbolia
On the 18th of August 2023, Al-Qaeda officially declared war on Denmark and Sweden, President Sylvia said that probably included Limbolia as well and recognized the War Declaration as Including Limbolia due to Al-Qaeda not recognizing Limbolia as an independent state. This was only recognized because of National Security concerns. While legally speaking Limbolia is still at war with Al-Qaeda, the Limbolian Armed Forces have not been involved.
That war would be declared invalid on the 21st of July 2024 by the Limbolian Council.
Limbolia lost lands
On the 8th of October 2023, the Council of Limbol decided to unclaim some territory in Northern Limbolia, in exchange Denmark would help Limbolia on building infrastucture.
Rise of Buddhism
The Rise of Buddhism started somewhere in 2024. On the 20th of February, Limbolian News published an article about the percentage of Buddhists in Limbolia, the results were 100% Buddhist. On the 24th of February the Leader of the Limbolian Communist Party left the Communist Party, and the day after she established the Buddhist Democratic Party, and even proposed Oh Mani Padme Um as the Limbolian National Anthem, though it never reached Parliament. The Buddhist Democratic Party would eventually win the 2024 Elections and become the ruling party of Limbolia.
The New Republic
After the Buddhist Democratic Party took over, the Republic went through a huge change, changing from a Communist Republic to a Buddhist Socialist Republic, with a new New Flag, New National Anthem, Coat of Arms, and a whole new constitution.
The Communist Revolution
President Sylvia Andersen was tired of running a revisionist Government, as the new constitution prevents her from calling any elections, she launched a Communist Revolution and seized power in 2 seconds forming the new Socialist Republic of Limbolia.
Limbolian Reformation
President Sylvia Andersen realized the stupidity of the revolution and decided to reestablish the former Republic of Limbolia and created the Buddhist Socialist Party. She started the 1 week plan to tranform Limbolia back to it's former glory, which is still ingoing. The Limbolian Council would also redeclare Oh Mani Padme Um the national anthem. As a part of the Limbolian reformation Limbolia was rebuilt as an Anocracy, the Limbolian Armed Forces was disbanded and replaced by the Limbolian Defence Force.
Military
The Limbolian Armed Forces was the official military of the Republic of Limbolia, administrated and partially funded by the Limbolian Council. The President is commander-in-chief of the military.
Currently Limbolia has a standing army with 1 member, and has only had 1 member since March 2022. While the Military is small, it's pride carries on.
On the 21st of July 2024, the Limbolian Council dissolved the Limbolian Armed Forces and replaced them with the Limbolian Defence Forces, their reasoning was that Limbolia is a peaceful nation and the military is there to defend Limbolia, not to conquer, and the name, motto, flag, coat of arms, and constitution needs to match that
Administrative divisions
Limbolia only has 1 administrative division. The capital city of Limbolia is Limburg.
Limbolia used to have three administrative devisions, but Plania was unclaimed after the Limbolian Reformation, and Hallia was unified with Limburg.
