Parvia

Flag of Parvia

Parvia is a remote micronation in West Moravia. It gets its name from 'parvus' meaning small in Latin. West Moravia shares 15% of its land with Parvia. Parvia is a slowly progressing county. Parvia holds many annual competitions against the rest of West Moravia including the very well known debating contest which takes place on the 1st January annually. The county of Parvia produces money in the Great Bank of Parvia. Parvia has an increasing amount of educational sites but they are confident to keep Private, Grammar and Comprehensive schools running. The minimum hourly wage in Parvia is £10.50 and Parvian taxpayers pay an exceedingly high amount of money to help the slowly destructing Parvian County Council (PCC). The Parvian Police Force (PPF) has recruited a new team of staff after the multiple loss of staff and residents in the horrific incident occurring on the 15th of October 2019 (when Parvia was reinstated). Parvian food is Parvia's strength. When West Moravia was founded many chefs refused to work for such a low salary that they moved to Parvia and produced exquisite food. The Parvian Polenta has been tried and tested by the most famous chefs and has won many best meal awards globally. The capital of Parvia is Socrates, Greater Parvia. Although, Socrates is not a city, it is a representative part of Parvia and hence its choice as capital. Socrates, along with Agamemnon, Demetrius, Theophilus and Vernados, founded what was known as 'Magnia' (from 'magnus' meaning big in Latin) back in 1531. Parvia's official language is Parvian and its demonym, Parvian. Its population has recently recorded 1,524. The time zone is UTC with GBP as the Parvian currency.

National Anthem

Parvia's National Anthem - 'Bring Parvia to Glory' - was composed and lyricised by James Carder-Geddes on the 4th July 2021. The lyrics for the anthem are as follows:

Bring us to the Parvian glory, gracious Lord

Sounds of trumpets, drums and singing

Lifting up our Parvian souls

Parvia's National Animal - Dominican yellow and green macaw

Bring us to the Parvian glory, gracious Lord

New beginnings, start of stories

Leaving us with grace and salvation

National Animal

Parvia's National Animal is the Parrot (specifically Dominican green and yellow macaw) chosen in honour of the current leader's - James Carder-Geddes - favourite animal.

National Sport

Parvia's National Plant - Yellow Chrysanthemum

Parvia's National Sport was, again, chosen in honour of one of James Carder-Geddes' favourite sports, Molkky. Molkky is a Finnish throwing game not too dissimilar to bowling. Rules for this game can be found here.

National Plant

Parvia's National Plant was inspired by the flag colours and the National colours of Parvia: yellow and green. One of the most beautiful flowers of these colours is the 'Yellow Chrysanthemum' which is also commonly spread in Parvia's rich and fertile land.

10 Parvian Moralities

1. Live your life

The first morality is finding and living a personal and true life without letting others thoughts and behaviours affect your life in a negative way. Find what you enjoy doing and do it. There is no way to judge your life - live it how you want to. No one is there to assess it or mark it or criticise it - life is only there to be lived!!

2. Treat others consistently

Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself. Care for others how you want to be cared for yourself. Love others how you would like to be loved yourself.

3. Think before you speak

Think 'is it kind?' 'is it helpful?' or 'is it necessary?' - if its none of those then don't say it. Just take time to ask yourself if what your saying is really worth it.

4. Appreciate the good things

Life's too short to look at all the bad things around us. Just take time to enjoy and appreciate all the beautiful and amazing things around you - animals, nature, family, friends! Stay positive and radiate happiness to others.

5. Fix your posture

Don't be a sheep and follow the crowd for the sake of following the ground. Find your identity and stick to it - be yourself and don't let others stop you doing this.

6. Be patient

Focus on a higher purpose and not instant gratification. Learn to wait and be patient - don't constantly think about 'what's going to happen' or 'what has happened' just focus on 'what is happening'

7. Stick with nice people

Befriend people who only want the best for you - don't befriend others just for status or pressure. Only stay with someone if they value you and you can be yourself around them.

8. Listen carefully

Learn to be a good listener and learn more about others. Be curious and show interest - use what you know about someone to build a close relationship.

9. Accept inequality

Accept that inequality exists and people aren't individually tailored for you or your desires. Everyone is different - in looks and personality but do not judge them, treat them or think of them differently because they aren't like you.

10. Set a goal

Set yourself a reasonably achieved goal and works towards it. Have a purpose, an intention and a dream as well as a growth mindset. Know that you might mistakes - and its ok to make mistakes. 'Failure is not a thing' as the Parvian motto says.

Territory

Below is a labelled map of Parvia's different cities, towns and regions.

Towns

Parvia's selection of towns may be small but the towns cover an abundance of acres.

• Carderville
• Geddestown
• Bankcroftown
• Greater Parvia

Carderville

Carderville was thought to be the first town of Parvia. All Parvian traditions were invented here and Carderville has a highly cultural population. Carderville has a population of 405. Carderville covers the North of Parvia and Cardervillians are colloquial when speaking hence making them fairly distinct from Geddestonians, Bankcroftonians or Greater Parvians. Carderville has the largest number of schools ranging from Grammar to Private.

Geddestown

Geddestown is located South West of Carderville and has a mere population of 103. The town as a whole isn't doing well economically or environmentally and many people struggle to pay the taxes. The crime rate in Geddestown reached its peak on the 16th of October 2019. Geddestown has many youth hostels and is known to offer the best sporting entertainment.

Bankcroftown

Bankcroftown is located East of Geddestown and has a population of 254. The Bankcroftonians are considered to be the wealthiest citizens of Parvia. Many citizens travel via hovercar (Lord Bankcroft's very own invention). The Bankcroftonians keep themselves away from Cardervillians and Geddestonians and don't like interacting with them. Bankcroftown is the least polluting town due to its vast number of electric hovercars.

Greater Parvia

Greater Parvia is at the very centre of Parvia and is the most populated and biggest city. It was officially declared a city when the population exceeded 500 in January 2020. Its current population is 762. Due to it's large size, Greater Parvia has 5 regions all named after the five founding fathers of Parvia: (in order of population)

• Socrates (Population: 304)
• Agamemnon (Population: 176)
• Demetrius (Population: 150)
• Theophilus (Population: 82)
• Vernados (Population: 50)

Greater Parvia is culturally diverse and has a variety of lower, middle and upper class citizens. The ethos in Greater Parvia is very much inclusive and everyone works together as a team.

Theatres

Carder-Geddes Grand Theatre

Carder-Geddes Grand Theatre

In Greater Parvia, this is Parvia's, and even West Moravia's, most famous theatre and seats 675 people.

It hosts the Parvian Talent Show and Magic Show as well as the Literature Festival and Debating Contest.

It is the heart of Parvian culture and is much loved by Neville Springer in particular

The current Chief Director at the Carder-Geddes Grand Theatre is Milton Wiles, OSCAR winning actor

Bankcroftown's Amphitheatre

Mostly Shakespearean, the productions tend to be more advanced.

Opened in 1549 by Theophilus and restored in 1956

Hosted all of Shakespeare's plays throughout the past 400 years

The current Chief Director is Paris Cape, renowed Shakesperian actor - voted best in the last decade

Religion

Christianity

The state religion of Parvia is Christianity. Or more specifically Anglican, Church of England. Anglicans believe that, in the 1500s, the leaders of the Church of England came up with the Thirty-Nine Articles. These state the beliefs of the church, though the individual churches are not required to follow them. There are certain basic ideas, however, that most Anglicans accept. They follow the Bible and they believe in two main sacraments, or special signs of faith—baptism and Holy Communion. Anglicans generally attend services on Sunday mornings. They use The Book of Common Prayer to guide their services. The book was written in the 1500s and has been revised several times since then.

Parvia has 3 beautiful churches across the county:

Monthly Reports

Introduction

Due to the current situation with COVID-19, many people are finding it hard to 'keep on going', so this monthly report should help reassure citizens that things are all under control with our COVID-19 situation. You will see below all the previous monthly reports starting from March to the present month. If anyone would like a mention or a discussion in the report please contact James Carder-Geddes.

March 2020

As COVID-19 has now moved to Parvia, I officially announce the start of our county's lockdown. The new lockdown scheme, ensures that all citizens are kept safe through this pandemic. The measures and precautions we must take are vital for your well-being physically and mentally. I must assure you that everything is under control and you must not worry. The PCC have now employed a new Support Leader, Leah Way who is always there to answer any concerns or worries you may have on this matter. The new changes and adjustments being made for the benefit of your well-being and health are listed below:

1. You must only go out for one piece of exercise a day for no longer than 1 hour
2. You must be frequently washing your hands when going out to avoid spreading the virus
3. You must maintain a 2 metre distance from other residences to avoid spreading the virus
4. Although these are not vital, face masks are advised to be worn
5. If you are showing any COVID-19 symptons, you must call 111 and self-isolate for 2 weeks along with family members
6. In reaction to the virus, we have closed all shops. However, we have made sure there are enough online options for each and every Parvian citizen
7. Along with this, theatres, zoos, museums, theme parks, holiday resorts and shared areas etc. have all been shut so you are advised not to enter town Stay Safe

April 2020

Following on from last month's report, the restrictions are all the same but now you can go out twice a day with a limit of 2 hours exercise. The PHS has been working very well whilst battling against the virus. As Parvia has a very small elderly population (due to the vast number of citizens who retire in West Moravia) the COVID cases have been at a low. With only 10 people at the hospital and 2 deaths, Parvia has dealt very well. I must assure you that everything is under control once again and Leah Way says she has been 'very happy to see new faces and support many through these tough times'. Stay Safe

May 2020

As May approaches, we are happy to announce that you are free to go outside as much as you would like each day. But still please follow the other guidelines to ensure we control the virus. Once again, the PHS have been thriving in keeping all the patients well at the hospital. The peak of cases (38) was reached on the 23rd May but has been nicely controlled and brought down to 12. The death number has only risen by 3 as the diligence of the workers has been phenomenal. I have been positively surprised with the county's teamwork and togetherness at these times and many times have seen streets and even villages helping each other out. I love the happy and positive spirits spreading round Parvia and long may it continue. Stay Safe

June 2020

The virus has been so well controlled by you, the general public, that we have decided to reduce social distancing to 1 metre now and shops have successfully re-opened on the 28th June. Also, groups of up to 8 people can now meet up together and elderly people don't have to shield. However, face masks have now become compulsory in shops and as public transport has been re-introduced we still ask you to socially distance and wear a face mask. We can also happily announce most schools in Parvia have re-opened with new 'bubble/pod' systems on the go. For more information on this, please expect a letter from the school's headmaster. All these extra steps are to help keep the virus at an all time low. We have 3 COVID patients in the hospitals and 0 deaths. This is truly outstanding news so we persuade you to keep on doing what you're doing. Stay Safe

July 2020

As the virus is loosening even more, we have decided to reduce social distancing to 1 metre and have now allowed 'social bubbles'. These are bubbles/groups of friends and families who don't need to socially distance together. You can go inside and stay overnight but if one person in your bubble is ill you must ALL self-isolate. We are overwhelmed with the COVID situation in the PHS as we have 0 patients and 0 new deaths. The curve is flattening and more and more guidelines are loosening. We must thank all Parvian citizens for your help and support of all the Key Workers. Stay Safe

August 2020

As you may notice around you, many things are returning back to normal as more days go on and the virus is really dying out. To maintain this positively low level, we still ask you to wear face coverings when entering shops, public transport and crowded places. Please also keep that 1 metre distance whenever possible. As Parvia is now a COVID free hospital, we are focusing on keeping our economy going along with local businesses. We have now introduced a new scheme that applies for all Parvian restaurants - if you go to a restaurant 2 times, you get 50% off the third time. We are glad to announce schools are back open and work is starting, ending the stretched out furlough scheme. For any more information on this matter, please contact James Carder-Geddes. Stay Safe

September 2020 - August 2021

For this period, I am on (temporary) work leave due to high amounts of work. Consequently, this section of the monthly report will remain blank.

September 2021

I am very happy to be continuing the monthly reports section after a busy year. I must explain that most of my work has been logistical as I thrive to complete the annual agenda and also negotiate with neighbouring microcounties and even some microcountries. COVID, as you all now, is still very much a part of Parvian life. That being said, I can officially announce that all of Parvia's population has been vaccinated as of May 2021. This has been excellent news to us all. We have, consequently lifted all restrictions and Parver Isaac Intrap, Head of Vaccines and COVID Affairs, has categorised the virus as a 'minor threat.' He continues to say 'Although the Parvian population are still at risk of contracting the virus, symptoms (for most) are better and easier to recover from.' I must also say that annual booster jabs have been scheduled and can be booked by emailing your local hospital. See names below:

Geddesville - Parver Oliver Gouder. Carderville - Marie Reynolds. Bankcroftown - Horatio Hooverton. Greater Parvia - Ben Morris.

October 2021

The draft plans for the '5 Founding Fathers' museum are out and I am thrilled to say that construction will start in November - we are hoping that the museum will be officially completed by the end of 2022 and are planning a special celebrity to marked this occasion. Please watch this space for more information. COVID wise, Parver Isaac Intrap has recently announced that 'Seemingly, herd immunity is the best way of protecting such a small community that is Parvia from the dreaded lurgy. With this taken into account, and the advice of foreign experts, I thoroughly recommend that if a Parvian citizen is to contract COVID, they should consider allowing others to receive it likewise in order to stabilise the immunity of the community. As with any advice, there are always exceptions, such as the elderly and more vulnerable though please do consider the vaccines' help' Please take this expert advice into account. On a separate note, I am delighted to announce that the all-new Parvian Literature Festival will start on the 5th November, marking the first year of this event. Thanks to the collaboration of some Greater Parvian teachers (Suzanne Winter, Diana Rogerson, Richard Beck and Penny Ware) this event has been arranged with most of the events free of charge. Although, understandably, some valued with money going towards the progression of this annual event. Please look out for more information but for this month of new horizons, thank you.

November 2021

The Parvian Literature Festival was a roaring success as we had an excellent turn out of roughly a hundred tickets sold to each event. My personal favourite event was the 'Welcome Back Theatres' talk from the man himself, Lin Manuel Miranda! Construction for the '5 Founding Father's museum, as promised, has started and is estimated to be built by the end of 2022 - the surprise celebrity has been booked for the opening ceremony - more info to come soon. News of COVID looks bright as 85% of Parvia has had COVID which means the herd immunity is close to being achieved!

December 2021

The final month of a rollercoaster of a year! Christmas celebrations are spreading throughout Parvia with an new ice skating rink in Greater Parvia and various Santa Grottos in Geddesville. Many Christmas-themed fundraiser events hope to raise money for the new museum - please come along to those (particularly the '2021 Winter Fété' in Bankcroftown!) Have a happy and Merry Christmas!!

2022-23

At the start of a new year, we all will face new hurdles and achievements. I am currently weighed down with work load and so will be off correspondence for the next 2 years for the monthly reviews. With this in mind, I am appointing a temporary Head of PCC for 2022-2023. This is huge news and, after a series of follow up referendums spreading across January to March, you all voted for the new temporary Head of PCC. Milton Wiles. As an actor and former director of the Carder-Geddes Grand Theatre, he certainly carries his charisma and public speaking into his new role. His agenda has been called 'The Milton Agenda' and covers a list of goals to be fulfilled in no time limit - unlike the former annual ones. Milton Wiles is a member of the Liberal Democrats, and makes history with their first period of rule ever in Parvia! I wish all the best of luck to my temporary successor, who has decided to transfer the normal digital monthly reviews that I am writing on now, to a live theatre speech in the Carder-Geddes Grand Theatre, the first Saturday of every month - look out for those. Goodbye for now!

Agendas

Below you will see an archived selection of Parvia's yearly agendas along with a detailed review and report. Each year, the PCC elect their top ten improvements (based on citizen input) for Parvia.

Defence

Nuclear Bunkers - Diagram

Ever since the first attack from West Mouzilo, Parvia has always been cautious about the county's defence. Whilst suffering constant threats from West Mouzilo, Parvia has recruited a strong Parvian Police Force as well as a cabinet of defence. On the 5th August, a major nuclear threat was sent to Parvia and Parvia's Minister of Defence has reacted right away. In correspondence with the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, the Defence Cabinet have ordered the building of 20 news nuclear bunkers to be placed around Parvia. Each bunker equates to £500 and any council donations are welcome. As of 8 August, no more serious threats are in place but we must warn all citizens to keep aware of these threats. Although we are doing all we can for your protection, we ask you to stay calm and controlled. You should receive a leaflet through your door on what to do in a nuclear attack.

Nuclear Bunkers

We are proud to announce the successful completion of the building of the nuclear bunkers. Though several days overdue, the bunker's defence exceeds our expectations. Here is the diagram of a typical bunker.

Territorial Walls

After a slightly disrupted past 4 months, Parvia's territorial walls have been completed in the hope that less illegal activity will occur concerning unauthorised entry into Parvia. Steve Knot- Parvia's Head of Terrorism Prevention - helped conduct this scheme. Although the total amount spent is unclear, Steve is certain that the planned budget was exceeded.

Parvian Police Force

Security comes first for citizens of Parvia, After the mass terrorist attack from members of the Extremist West Mouzilo. The police force is upgrading as days go by but Parvia is privileged to have such a strong Police Force.
