Sancratosia (/sɑːn.kræ.t.ʒə/ (About this sound (listen)); Lingua Franca Nova pronunciation: /san.kra.to.sia/ (About this sound (listen))), officially the Principality of Sancratosia (Lingua Franca Nova: Prinsia de Sancratosia), is a sovereign state operating within a self-proclamed extraterritorial territory located in North America. It is classified as a micronation by most external observers. The nation declared its independence on 1 December 2021 (2021-12-01).

The official language of Sancratosia is Lingua Franca Nova, an auxiliary constructed language also known colloquially as Elefen, making it one of the first nations to adopt the language as its official language. Despite Elefen being the official language of Sancratosia, French and English are more commonly used and spoken. The two languages are also recognised as national languages.

The Principality is a semi-constitutional monarchy where the sovereign personally exercises power in concert with other institutions. Unlike traditional monarchies, the monarch does not source their power from a God but from the people.
