Etymology
The name "Northland" comes from two English words - north and land. This is due to the location of the state.
History
The beginning of the history of Northland can be considered the spring of 2023, when the virtual state of the same name was created.
However, the first attempts to build Northland in the real world began in early winter 2024.
Soon, on February 25, the Act of Sovereignty of Northland was signed, marking the birth of its statehood. Northland received its first diplomatic recognition just 4 days later, on February 29, from the Grand Duchy of Slawenland.
Its creation also contributed to the creation of other, smaller, micronational movements. On March 1, in a neighboring micronation called Tristate, internal conflict broke out between liberal and socialist forces. Just a day later, Northland intervened in the conflict after a border incident. In just 4 hours, the Northlandian armed forces completely occupied the territory of the state and established a puppet government there.
On March 5, the state entered the World Organization of Micronations.
During the period from March 7 to March 11, population passportization was carried out. Thanks to a great economic system, investments from citizens and some sponsors, and later light manufacturing and fishing, Northlandian economy began to grow rapidly and by March 11 Northland could afford to rearm. A gun, modern equipment, pistols and knives were purchased by the Northlandian armed forces.
From March 12 to 27, military exercises took place in Northland, Crystallia, Amerikkalainensuomenvaltio and the Federal Republic of Tristan and Isolde (formerly Tristate).
On March 30, Northland began producing its own chocolate from the R&D brand.
Soon, construction began on the most ambitious project in Northlandian history — a network of several connected underground tunnels with a total length of 1,500 m.
The first hundred meters were very difficult, since we had to dig by hand, but fortunately then a special machine was purchased and things went much faster. There, lighting was installed and warehouses were dug, an underground store, Securis headquarters, a Teabrewlity church and an emergency closure system in case of an emergency.
Although this dealt a blow to the still nascent economy of Northland, the country recovered quite quickly and further developed.
On May 10, Operation "Black Clover" began to provide support to the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The first phase was the supply of data on the location of Ukrainian equipment, and the second was the arrival of the Northlandian PMC "Kolovrat" in the Kharkov direction.
On June 12, due to the situation in the World Organization of Micronations, the country's army was put on alert.
On June 16, in the territories controlled by the "Kolovrat" PMC, as well as purchased by Northland in Ukraine, a declaration of independence of the Transdemocratic State of Little Rus' was signed. Hetman Alexander I (Northlandian) became its head.
Northlandian intelligence involvement was soon reduced to a minimum.
On August 2, the "Kolovrat" PMC suffered its first casualties.
Geography
Northland is a micronation with an area of 0.104 km².
It is located in North America and borders Canada and the Federal Republic of Tristan and Isolde. On the territory there are about a dozen residential buildings and other structures and a baseball field.
Internal Policy
The internal policy of Northland is aimed at stabilizing the state apparatus, accelerating the development of the micronation and establishing the national idea of Northi people.
Also, in many ways, the political course and system is dictated by transdemocratic ideology, which is characterized by authoritarianism, the theory of class cooperation and a balance between nationalism and internationalism.
In many ways, the Officer Council helps the President with solving internal problems.
A special service called Securis monitors many things in the country.
Foreign policy
Northland has an active foreign policy, is the only American member of the World Organization of Micronations and is recognized by more than 20 micronations. Also Northland, along with some micronations, is a member of the Transdemocratic International.
Northlandian Intelligence can rightly be considered the strongest micronational intelligence service, developing a network of agents in several countries.
Culture
The national culture of Northland is built primarily on Slawenlandian, Anglo-Saxon and Russian emigrant cultures.
Thus, approximately half of the country speaks Slawenlandian or/and Russian.
