Pangean Empire
 | This article refers to a nation which is currently in a state of inactivity. You can help make the article reflect that or ask on the talk page for further information. |
This nation was formed in 2009 as a global way to end territorial disputes, promote freedom, and to give a hope and culture to refugees. We currently occupy many territories around the world. Though we are not member's on UN, we do respect their rule of law and have based our constitutional rights off of them. All of the territory has a reason for being claimed by the Pangean Empire, from territorial dispute to refugees. It is often regarded as the "most legal micronation" because of its active attempt to prove itself through the law. Google Maps has added the Pangean Empire's name to one of it's claimed territories known as Katchetheevu Island.

Government and Military
The government is a constitutional governing monarchy. It has an emporer, His Imperial Majesty Colonel Andrew S. Edwards, who selects a cabinet to be the national executive branch.
Local and regional governments are the locally elected officials and hold most of the true power. The Military consists of three groups: the royal guard, the dangerous weapons unit, and the largest is the Auxiliary Army.
