The Provincist Republic of Schpecktenia, more commonly known as Schpecktenia, is a micronation in Greater Metro East. Schpecktenia's capital is located in Edwardsville, Illinois. The mainland consists of the Province of Shadoweghn and the Province of Hawth-Koufax. Schpecktenia was first created as a monarchy by Ruby Specht on 4 October 2022. Shadoweghn, the capital state, was founded along with the Grand Empire of Schpecktenia in 5 October 2022.

The government is based on a reformed version of Provincism, giving the government a stronger Executive Branch. The Executive consists of the President and Second Executive Officer, along with the Representative Provincial Directors partially. The RPDs run the Legislative Branch, which consists of the Grand Assembly and Provincial Convocations. The Legislative starts with the Provincial Convocation creating a law for the Province, but the law can move to the Grand Assembly to become a national law. The same Senators of the Provincial Convocations are in the Grand Assembly.

Schpecktenia is striving to start a greater micronational movement in the Greater Metro East, hopefully causing new micronations to form in the area. Schpecktenia is in the Micronational Assembly and Treskan League of States.

Etymology

Schpecktenia is a modified version of the president's last name, Specht. -tenia means "Land Of." The full name of Schpecktenia is "The Land of Specht."

History

Schpecktenia started off on 4 October 2023 as the Monarchy of Schpecktenia, which would evolve into the Grand Empire of Schpecktenia a day later. Only three remains of the Grand Empire exist today, the states of Meadowen, Seglaeghn, and Shadowfoxia. The Grand Empire was ultimately unsuccessful due to the period of inactivity known as the Dark Times. On 16 January 2023, Schpecktenia would become the Second Republic of Schpecktenia. The Second Republic had three provinces; Shadowfoxia, St. Charles, and Monroe. St. Charles would declare independence as the Schpecktenian People's Front on 11 February 2023, and led to the Two Days War. The Two Days War was a civil war between the Second Republic and the People's Front, and the Second Republic won the war. The People's Front leader, Luca Tallerico, was fined 2 Schpecktenian Marks, and the ban on communism was lifted. After the Two Days War, the Second Republic became the Third Imperial Schpecktenian Republic. The Imperial Republic's key goal was colonialism, and would start the Colonization of Mille Lacs Lake and Pelican Lake along with several other micronations. During this time, Schpecktenia's national language Lakewood would be created as Old Shpeck.

Following the colonization spree, Schpecktenia would enter a second Dark Times. Schpecktenia isolated themselves from the rest of the micronational community, and Ruby I would give Schpecktenia to Haltenburg, allowing Schpecktenia to die out. After a two long months, Schpecktenia gained independence as the current for the Imperial Federation of Schpecktenia. Schpecktenia now has states instead of provinces, and has a genuine government and political system. The state system at the time was flawed, and one of Schpecktenia's states, the Province of Drost, would declare independence as the Empire of Taydrostia. Schpecktenia and Taydrostia would coexist peacefully until territorial disputes, which led to the Greater Metro East War. The war initially ended in a Schpecktenian victory, and Ruby I significantly changed how states and leaders would work.

Schpecktenia flourished with the creation of a new coat of arms, joining of the Micronational Assembly, and reestablishing politics, but the conflict restarted. A nationalist group secedes from the Republic of South Meadowen, the revision of the old Taydrostian government, and starts the Taydrostian Civil War. The conflict continued with New Prussia getting involved, and the Greater Metro East War restarts.

In early 2024, Schpecktenia aimed to advancements for the entire nation. Many new programs launched, such as Sihr, immigration campaign, better foreign policy, and document formatting. In February 2024, Schpecktenia reformed the government to a Provincist Republic, aiming to govern the new citizens in a more effective manner. The March Civil Crisis is a largely hidden and classified conflict between the Duchy of Meadowen, Duchy of Metbir, and Dominion of Engelica against the Duchy of Eastern and Western Stallion. On 10 March 2024, the Duchy of Stallion was dissolved and all Stallionisch citizens were deported to the United States of America.

Politics and government

The key four political groups in Schpecktenia represent Classical micropatriology. Most of Schpecktenia's governmental operations are carried out through ministries and departments. The Ministry of War and Foreign Affairs (WFA), the Department of Home Defense and Creation, the Department of Economic Affairs, the Provincial Criminal and Law Department (PKLD), and the Multi-All Necessitude Department.

Early government

The old government originally used to be three provinces, Meadowen, St Charles, and Monroe. Three people would be in charge of the provinces, called Lead Province Directors. The original Schpecktenian government used an old form of Provincism, which was reformed and used for Schpecktenia after the Imperial Federation.

President

The president is the spokesperson of the Schpecktenian people, key law maker, and national diplomat. The president is the head of state and has non-limited powers and duties prescribed by law.

Runen Executive Officer (Vice President)

The Runen Executive Officer is the vice president and head of government. Runen, meaning Second in Lakewoodish spells out that they are the second in command. The president and REO work together to create and/or pass laws with the Representative Provincial Directors.

Representative Provincial Directors

The Representative Provincial Directors (RPDs) are the elected spokespeople of the provinces, being respected culturally by the people. The RPDs can either work with the Grand Assembly or Executive Branch alone to pass laws for Schpecktenia.

Grand Assembly

The Grand Assembly is key legislative body that comprises of senators fairly elected in January, April, July, and October. The Grand Assembly votes on laws on laws that are given by the Provincial Convocations. The Grand Assembly also has the constitutional power to create strictly national laws, while the same senators create laws for just one province in the Provincial Convocation. The Grand Assembly currently struggles with the speed of passing laws. It usually takes up to two weeks for a law to be voted on.

Political parties

The party system in Schpecktenia used to be a one party system. It was illegal to have any other political parties, but this was one of the key reasons why St. Charles declared independence which led to the Two Days War. The current political system is based on Classical micropatriology and the micronational compass.

Law and order

Schpecktenia's law enforcement is carried out by the Provincial Criminal and Law Department. Most laws are similar to American Laws, but the biggest law in the nation is you cannot own physical or images of Venus Flytraps.

Foreign relations

Schpecktenia helped create and join the Organization of Great States (OGS), an organization of alliance and mutual recognition. Schpecktenia wants to become allies with many nations, and accepts friendship with open arms.

Economy

The Schpecktenian Mark is backed by Peach Gummy Rings. The currency was changed so that one mark would be equal to 1/10 of a peach ring. 1 Peach Rings is worth 10 Marks. $0.005 is worth 1 Mark. $0.0025 is worth one Havercin. Schpecktenia's central bank, the Bank of Meadowen, has stopped printing marks. The printing of marks will continue once the governmental budget reaches 100,000.

Culture

Schpecktenia has a variety of culture, holidays, and tradition. Since most of the population are mainly German-American, the culture is based off of those two groups. Ruby I proudly celebrates American culture, including their independence day, and Schpecktenia greatly admires American veterans. The same respect for the United States Flag applies to Schpecktenia. Schpecktenian citizens are not allowed to disrespect both the American and Schpecktenian flag.

National Symbols

The national animal is the Göttingen Minipig, the national drink is Ultra Rosa Monster Energy, and the national plant is the violet.

Holidays

Schpecktenian Holidays are based off of Ruby's personal experiences and important dates in Schpecktenian history. Media Day, Kriebus Day, Googus Gonk Day, Lover's Day, Gonk Googus Day, and Hazbin Day are all holidays that Ruby I personally wanted to be included into Schpecktenia. Media Day was when she made her first YouTube channel at the age of 10. Kriebus Day was made when Ruby was having a particularly great day. Googus Gonk and Gonk Googus Day were made to celebrate humor, silliness, and fun. And Hazbin Day was made to celebrate Ruby's favorite show.
