Bolgajna, officially known as the Rank Republic of Bolgajna, is a secessionist micronation de jure in Hungary, which defines itself as follows: "Our goal is to realize a small utopian community in the wider world, which serves as an antidote to the world's problems. It is a group with a collective cultural identity. A Micronation is traditionally divided into four provinces, each of which consists of additional territories. The state exists as a de facto autonomous zone, as it partly dominates private land, thus it is self-determining in important aspects. For example, in some areas they can regulate the consumption of alcohol while driving, or they can decide who is allowed to enter the sovereign areas.

The state made formal decisions for most of its existence. However, in july of 2022, Bolgajna aims to achieve full independence and recognition. In this way, it presents itself as a sovereign state and often relies on the theory of declarative statehood as the basis of its independence. Regardless, it observes all macronational laws. In addition, he bases several disputes on independence on historical information, for example the short-lived Duchy of Slavonia and the extinct settlement called Bolgánypuszta. The nation's history dates back to its official founding in october of 2014. However, it has only shown serious activation since 2020.

In addition to being a quest for independence, the micronation is also a new cultural movement. The goal is to create a common national and cultural identity that, in addition to connecting a smaller community and thus creating a traditional national identity, forms an accepting and open community. The basic traditional features are typically Central European, but it not only draws from other peoples, but also contains completely new traditions.

Etymology

The name of the rank republic of Bolgajna can be derived from the Bolgánys. The word is a compound word. According to the interpretation accepted today, the first part of the word, "Bolg" refers to Bulgarians. The second part, "Ajna", is a modified version of an ancient Slavic term that can mean country or border. In today's Slovak, a similar word is, for example, krajina. The reason for the occurrence of Slavic words is that the Croats and Slovaks have long been present in northern Transdanubia. By the way, the word Bolgány can be derived from the Kun language, in which it means a swampy marshy area, although in its original form it was written as "balkány", but due to the Bolgány dialect, it was already transformed into Bolgány when the word appeared, probably in the 1400s.

History

Historical affiliations (From the Middle Ages)

Before micronational history

Antiquity

The i. e. By the 3rd century, the entire area of ​​the Carpathian basin came under the rule of the immigrant Celtic tribes, including Transdanubia, the Great Plain, the territory of today's Slovakia and Transylvania.[1] Some of the peoples of Bolgajna adopted minor cultural traits from the Celts, this is especially characteristic of the Borovicskas. The fifth through eighth centuries, the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin - the Transylvanian Basin, the greater part of the Great Plain and the northern half of the Lesser Plain - was ruled by the Agathurs, referred to as early Scythians. They are known for introducing ironwork and creating a new era in the Carpathian Basin with their new tools (e.g. combat equipment, horse tools).[2]

Pannonia was a province of the Roman Empire. It was bordered on the north and east by the Danube, on the west by Noricum – initially a Celtic kingdom, then a Roman province – and its southern border stretched about 30–50 km south of the Sava River. Its western border - the Borostyánkő út shifted further west over time due to its need for protection and thus became permanent. Its territory includes today's eastern Austria, Slovakia's area around Dévény-Prožany, northern Slovenia, and the southwestern part of the Carpathian Basin, i.e. the western half of Hungary,[3][4] thus also Bolgajna, northern Croatia, a part of northern Serbia (the Macsó district and the Szerzemség district of Vojvodina) and the northern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina.[5]

For a century, the territory of the Carpathian basin was dominated by the tribes of the Goths, Heruli, Gepids and Lombards. In the year 567, the Avars who emigrated from Central Asia took possession of the area and held it for about 250 years. Most of the Germanic tribes fled to Italy. (The name of the province of Lombardy comes from the name of the Lombards who settled on the Po plain.) The majority of the Gepids who owned the Upper Tisza region did not leave the Carpathian basin, becoming vassals of the Avars. In a few hundred years, they mixed with their masters, just like the Scythian Alans and other peoples living here.[6]

Middle Ages

Formed at the beginning of the Middle Ages, Moravia was the first major, predominantly West Slavic state to emerge in Central Europe, possibly including areas that are now part of many countries. Although Bolgajna does not form a Slavic identity, according to its claim, it is a kind of cultural predecessor. Later, after the conquest, around 895, the Principality of Hungary was founded, and its state status gradually developed during its century-long existence. It existed until the foundation of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1001, which is its legal successor through its ruling house. The kingdom was established as a form of government with the coronation of István I in the Carpathian Basin. Significant changes took place in Hungary in the 13th century. Many provincial lords proclaimed their own states, some of which were recognized. In most of Western Hungary, an oligarch named Henrik Köszegi administered his own state. Many consider it a medieval predecessor of Bolgajna, but it is also treated as an unofficially accepted fact. Between 1867 and 1918, a special, dual (dualist) state, or more precisely, a federation of states, was created in Central Europe. This was the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. This period was very turbulent in Hungary. In the twentieth century Hungary was under socialist leadership. Bolgánypuszta, the historical capital of Bolgajna, was still inhabited at that time.

Map of Europe in the fourteenth century.

Micronational History

Bolgajna was founded in Országút utca 23, which was purchased in 2013 and was then still part of Dunaszeg. The country was founded by the three brothers: Mihály, Márton, Sára and their close friend Bertalan, the original members, in the period between 29–31 October, 2014. At the time of its founding, the predecessor of the state order of the rank republic was born, the operation of which was not yet recorded in writing at that time. Even then, the leaders of the micronation were called presidents.

Beginnings

At that time, the territory of the new state was still spread over a rather small area, only the locality is known today as M1, mostly used for meat processing and drying spices. This building was called the Laboratórium, but today another building bears this name. One of the iconic objects of the early era of Bolgajna is the 4 scratched hearts and an inscription 2015 visible on the building (M2) used as a warehouse today. On several occasions, various enclaves were established within a few meters of the Laboratórium, on which they built so-called "base" buildings with a simple staggered structure. These were usually destroyed within a year. Industry and agriculture were non-existent, they only utilized their existing resources.[7]

First major transformation

When he left the building, he got out of his usual living space and stagnant development and set out on a new, true path. The new center was the facility then called a stable. It once served as a residence for animals, true to its name. Not far away, just a few meters from his homeland, they started building the new Laboratórium. They removed the debris and old straw from the locality and made the area of ​​the micronation much more comfortable than before. Not long after that, a progressive act was carried out compared to the old Bolgajna, new members were admitted to the previously closed community. The Gerhát brothers Bendek and Magda ( Mihály, Márton, Sára) second cousins. They lived in the territory of today's Pórfayz province, but at that time we had no claim to that area. Another major breakthrough was the construction of the first base beyond Országút utca 23. This building has been destroyed and is already outside the areas we claim today.

Age of bases and villages

The settlement east of the Labor, today located in the Közép Polkonga area, officially called Dunapereszke, was built with the new members from the same impulse. The plistine members again started new construction at Országút utca 23. This is where the term settlement was first used for their buildings. This village was Armonika. Our traditional reed tent was built in our province, now called Nosztre (in the settlement of Csopak {Hungary}). The first base of Pórfayz (an administrative unit that did not exist at the time) was built in the territory of Veszprémfajsz (Hungary), which was later destroyed under the leadership of the president. It expanded its borders and the mill building was taken under its control. The first effort to cultivate the land appeared, which finally replaced gathering farming, this is also an Armonican breakthrough. The second attempt to build the settlement of Pórfayz was successful, and it even became the most beautiful, largest and most developed forest settlement. our micronation. Only rotten wood and a bit of rope were used for construction. Its magical pillars were made from stones found in large quantities locally. It is especially popular with hikers.

The Age of War

On 16.04.2022, the Újborókaföld war broke out, which quickly ended with the victory of Bolgajna. Due to their neglect, certain eastern Pórfayz areas declared their own independent state in order to be economically free. The form of governance in the state, which existed for a few months due to the inactivity of Bolgajna, changed several times. For a short time it became a duchy and then a socialist dictatorship. Since they soon lost the city of Makkszeg, they gave up the fight. Later, they developed the local economy for a better quality of life.

Age of development

For the long-term development of the micronation, it became necessary to replace the old demarcation lines as the official state border, these borders remained except for minor changes. That's when Bolgajna became a multicultural melting pot. The division of the province and territory was born. They appointed their provincial leaders. The writing of the constitution played an important role in subsequent legislation. Due to a large population growth wave, the population increases by 200% in 3 months.

Second major transformation

In the Rank Republic of MMBS, in the predecessor state of Bolgajna, a possible variation of the national name came up as early as 2021. At the time, this was rejected by the majority. At that time, the idea that provincial leaders should be democratically elected was still a radical idea. At that time, the so-called Osztróvian breakthrough began, which refers to the rapid development of Osztróvia. This process started in the Labor (the capital of Bolgajna). Services began to increase, more tourist attractions were built, and trade began.[8][9] Especially in 2022, the forest areas (Polkonga, Wai, Hau, Cserpang area) were included in the economy, and the number of services was increased there as well. Bolgajna began to invest less and less in the war, instead he built new buildings. Later, Osztróvia was expanded territorially towards the west, the Cserpang national area was increased to twenty-one times its area at that time (this meant significant economic development), so it became the second largest area of ​Osztróvia from one of the smallest areas. In addition, two new areas were added, Újpolkonga and Nyugat Polkonga. The Wai area and the Hau area were merged and the Wai-Hau area was born. Smaller developments took place in Pórfayz. While the province of Thury has developed a lot in terms of internet services. Thury's own website became available. In Nosztre, there were record low harvests, although it still supported the other provinces (with the exception of Osztróvia, which was already self-sufficient) economically. Nosztre has retained its character as a tourist paradise. On the "riviera of Bolgajna" that year, 40 percent of the population spent part of their vacation here. The first large-scale cultural celebrations also took place in 2022. On the eighth Independence Day, there were several days of events in Osztróvia. 2022 In autumn and winter, all provinces began to develop rapidly. In January 2022, the ancestral council met in Pórfayz. Of the four founding members, Éva Sára Gerhát, Márton Gerhát, György Papp Bertalan and Mihály Gerhát were all present. The demand for a system change was already very high.[10]

The campaign of Benedek László, in which he described the advantages of his leadership.

Many significant reforms were introduced, the most important of which were the name change and the announcement of provincial leadership elections. This month saw the first elections in the provinces. At that time, the presidents were based in Pórfayz, while György Papp Bertalan went to the province of Thury for the campaign period. They announced that there would be new elections every month. In Pórfayz, there was a lot of competition between the then provincial leader László Benedek and the other candidate László Magda. All along, the estimates were that Benedek László had a better chance, but in the end, after a big surprise, Magda László won with a 60 percent majority. In Thury, György Bertalan Papp won the elections, so there was no change of leadership in Thury. There were no more candidates in Nosztre, so the then representative József Szauer won the elections. Before that, Nosztre was an area under presidential control. In Osztróvia, Éva Sára Gerhát won with a decisive majority (80 percent) against the other candidate, Ádám Salda. The new provincial leaders Sára Gerhát and Magda László formed an alliance. György Bertalan Papp soon started to form coalitions which soon included all independent candidates. With this, Bertalan's power in the province increased significantly. After the elections, very significant developments took place in the provinces, especially in Pórfayz, where a lot of infrastructural development took place. From the first of January 2023,[11] Bolgajna was the de facto name of the state, while this name was already made official on the twenty-third of January. Bolgajna developed its relations with the Crete Empire and made an agreement with it that the Cretan soldiers would leave Bolgajna from the first of February.[12]

Demographics

Ethnic and linguistic distribution

Bolgajna is mainly populated by Bolgánys, but there are many other significant nationalities. in three provinces, the Bolgány people have an absolute majority, while in Thury (since the War of the Crete Association ) the composition of the population is divided. Most of the nationalities are characteristic only of a certain region, for example the Cserpangs in Osztróvia, the Borovicskas are the most widespread in Pórfayz. There are significant but unrecognized nationalities, for example the Hungarians and the Cretans. Most of them speak Hungarian, but many also know English and German as learned languages.

Important ethnicities

In Central Europe, the Bolgánys are a small ethnic group living in the Carpathian Basin, primarily in Northern Transdanubia. The mother tongue of the Bolgánys is Hungarian, but with an individual dialect. Bolgánys outside the borders are the Bolgánys diaspora, which forms a significant ethnic group in only a few settlements. The Bolgánys were the state-creators and most important people of the Rank Republic of Bolgajna. Henceforth, it is theorized that the Principality of Slavonia was the first Bolgány state to cease in 1310.

The Cserpangs are a sub-ethnic group in the Rank Republic of Bolgajna. A subgroup of bolgánys. They mainly occur in Western Osztróvia. of officially declared nationality all over the country, the majority is only in the Cerpang national area. According to legends, throughout their history they led a semi-nomadic or nomadic lifestyle and usually lived in tent cities. Many Cserpangs assimilated with other ethnic groups, especially the Hungarians, they once spoke their own language, but nowadays they usually use a mixed Cserpang-Hungarian language (this is a kind of local dialect in Bolgajna).

The Borovicskás live in significant numbers in the ranking republic of the Bolgajna, mainly in the province of Pórfayz. They are also a kind of vulture subgroup. Their culture has many very unique traditions. There was once a Borovicska independence movement, although today most people are against secession.

The Wai people, an endangered ethnic group in Osztróvia, who live mainly in the Wai-hau island area, their national territory was a disputed area for a long time, but the soldiers of Bolgajna consolidated their power after several days of control. After a cultural movement in 2021, their culture was revived. In addition, an important nationality

Religions in Bolgajna

The armonic people cannot necessarily be considered a separate ethnic group, but rather a similar Celtic people's movement. They have an autonomous zone in the province of Osztróvia, but a significant armonic minority also lives in Thury. Their celebrations and customs are unique and extremely old-fashioned. Most of them date back to ancient times.

Religions

Bolgajna basically did not introduce a state religion and does not intend to. Most of the people in the Central and Nosztre provinces are atheists, while in the Pórfayz and Thury provinces Catholics are in the majority. In the entire country, 21% are religious (all are Catholic Christians). There are also ancient religions, mainly in the Pórfayz and Central provinces, but no one follows them today.

Economy

Economy of Bolgajna Industrial-consumer economy. The economy is autonomous, but significant quantities of products are imported from Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. According to Bolgajna's calculations, it is a micro-national regional economic power and a global economic middle power. Many smaller micronations depend on Bolgajna's economy for their economy, the Crete Empire, the Duchy of Denbuie, and the Paradise Island Duchy are completely dependent on Bolgajna's production. Bolgajna is the most significant micro-national economy of the Carpathian Basin.

The quality of life in Bolgajna is good by world standards. According to a survey by the Bolgány government, more than 70% of citizens work in Bolgajna. Many people also work in neighboring Hungary.

Bolgajna produces more goods than it consumes. They are stored in significant quantities, which is why the economy can use more and more raw materials every year.

Agriculture

Agriculture in Bolgajna is also significant at the micro-national level. They are mainly produced in Nosztre Province and Osztóvia. The most produced crops are grapes and pumpkins. About 250 kilograms of grapes are produced annually. Pumpkin production is usually around 150 kilograms per year. The area producing the most is the Nosztre Lowlands area, followed by the Central area. In recent years, after 2020, the production of all Provinces has been increasing or stagnating, except for Osztóvia, where production is increasing year by year. The annual production of Pórfayz and Thury is less than 10 kilograms. Most of the plants produced are processed in Bolgajna, and a smaller part is sold in neighboring countries. Most of the plants produced are food, followed by ornamental plants and then fodder plants.

Meat processing

Meat processing is significant in Osztróvia and Pórfayz. Meat processing accounts for more than 15% of the entire economy of Bolgajna. Pigs are mainly processed. In Osztróvia, several farm buildings are involved in the works. Meat processing usually takes place in the winter, so it only functions as a temporary job opportunity. The entire winter production comes from this. The pigs intended for processing are raised in Hungary and the processed meat is also smoked there, so this part of the economy is largely dependent on Hungary.

Mining

In Bolgajna, mining is negligible in all provinces except Pórfayz. Although there is an opportunity for sand and gravel mining in Osztróvia, this opportunity is not being used. There is an opportunity for clay mining in Nosztre, but due to the dry soil, this is also an unused opportunity. Mining is not significant in Thury. Stone was mined in smaller quantities, but this has also stopped today. More than 10 kilograms of stone are mined every year in Pórfayz. Mined values ​​are usually processed within range.

Currency, payments

Bolgajna uses the Hungarian forint, and the autonomous region of Armonika uses the Sestertius. The introduction of an independent micro-national currency has been suggested several times, but it would be difficult to consolidate its use for the time being. The salaries are considered low, but many people also work abroad in order to increase their wages.

The country's form of government is completely unique and is not used in any other country. Although the goal is to expand freedoms, there are no elections until after the death of the presidents. (Since there are two presidents!) but this does not mean that a dictatorial regime prevails. Since the people are the most important, a referendum is held before almost every law is enacted or important construction is carried out.

There are no parties in the country, as the leadership does not belong to parties, but to duos, as was already detailed above.
