Arlandica, officially the Kingdom of Arlandica and historically Arland, is a self-proclaimed sovereign state, commonly known as micronation by external observers. Arlandica is an enclave and exclave country, with territories located in the Philippine archipelago, comprising five provinces: Mainland Arlandica, Galrea, Lémarita, Nueva Bago, and Paddaya. The country's population is sparsely distributed, with the majority residing in medium-sized settlements. The official capital is Santo Niño City, while the temporary legislative capital, cultural center, and financial center is Rio Santiago City. The largest city by population size is Melascoville City.

The kingdom was founded on April 20, 2020, four years ago, by King Jerold I, who is currently the monarch. Arlandica claims to be the successor to and continuation of the Realm of Davao Gulf, led by Datu Bago, which existed from 1800 to 1850. However, it is important to note that there is no factual basis for this claim. The micronation is primarily a politically light secessionist entity, with no intentions or aspirations to rebel against the government of the Republic of the Philippines. It provides a platform for individuals interested in experiencing and learning about governance.

Arlandica is a developing country and holds the 15th rank in the very high level category, with a score of 4.2, according to the Categoric-Gradial System of Classification. It also ranks 59th in the Human Development Index and secures the 7th rank with a score of 9.0 in the Micronational Democracy Index.

The country is a member of the Santo Niño Cooperation Union (SNCU), the Union Against Micronational War (UAMW), and the Micronational Olympic Federation (MOF). It is also a member of the Youth Support and Development Council (YSDC), an institution under SNCU. Previously, the country was a member of both Accande Terrie Ornindo (ATO) and the Oceanic-Antarctic Micronational Commonwealth (OAMC). Arlandica is considered a regional power in the Philippine Micronational Community, serving as a key player in terms of stable governance and diplomatic influence.

History

Main article: History of Arlandica

Etymology

Arlandica is named after its founder and first monarch, King Jerold I, who played an important role in the establishment of the micronation. In recognition of King Jerold I's role in creating the micronation, he decided to name the new micronation after himself, using a shortened version of his nickname "Ar". Arlandica literally means "Land of King Jerold I." This is a fitting tribute to the founder of the nation and a way of honoring his contributions to the country's early development.

A widely used nickname used for tourism and the country's intermicronational promotion to refer to Arlandica is "The Land of the Hopeful Morning." It symbolizes that every morning in Arlandica carries hope.

Geography

Mount Arland, the tallest point in Arlandica.

Arlandica is divided into two geographical areas: Mainland and Overseas. Mainland Arlandica, considered the kingdom's core territory, is a province and an enclave fully surrounded by Davao City, Philippines, on Mindanao Island. The capital, Santo Niño City, is situated at 7°08'N latitude and 125°36'E longitude.

The northern portion of the Island of Luzon, where several Arlandican territories, particularly Lémarita, are located, was captured from the International Space Station.

On the other hand, all non-contiguous territories unattached from the Mainland are referred to as Overseas Arlandica. It comprises 9 enclaves, 1 exclave, 4 semi-exclaves, and over 40 islands, reefs, and small rocks, half of which are named. Four provinces, Galrea, Lémarita, Nueva Bago, and Paddaya, make up Overseas Arlandica, which is scattered across various parts of the Philippines.

The total land area of these claimed territories measures 910 hectares or 9.10 square kilometers (2,248.66 acres or 3.51 square miles). The majority of Arlandica's terrain is flat, with mountainous regions primarily situated in most areas of the Mainland, Badoc Island, Nueva Villaviciosa and Swissureyland in Lémarita. Mountainous terrain can also be found in the eastern part of Paddaya and in Calacia Del Norte, Golden Valley, and La Frondosa in Nueva Bago. The highest point, Mount Arland, stands at around 100 meters above sea level and is located in Santo Niño City. The Ticaowa River, flowing through Lémarita, is the country's longest river, and Lake Domstardam, situated in Nueva Villaviciosa, is the largest lake.

Arlandica possesses sea access. The territories of Golden Coast have access to the Babuyan Channel, and Badoc Island faces the South China Sea; both of these territories are part of Lémarita. Meanwhile, Nueva Bago, through the territory of Kalinawan, is enveloped by the waters of Davao Gulf.

Arlandica has a presence and exercises control over all of its provinces.

Border

Arlandican boundary marker (proposed)

Arlandica is nearly surrounded by the Philippines; however, the country shares a border with Vilasia through La Frondosa, which is a territory of Nueva Bago. Vilasia is the only micronation that shares actual borders with Arlandica.

Areas of Control

There are Areas of Control within the territories of Arlandica, classified into three: Area A, Area B, and Area C, established on April 14, 2024, to define the extent of governmental authority. Area A encompasses territories where both civil and security control rest with the Arlandican government, while Area B involves shared civil control and full security control by Philippine macronational authorities. Area C falls under complete Philippine macronational authority, requiring permits for Arlandican activities.
