Name

Hypotheses for the etymology of the name "Luxe" are numerous. One is that it was inspired from the name of the Founder Luca Mirante; Luca originates from Ancient Greek language Λουκανος (Loukanos) meaning "inhabitants of Lucanian region". According to other interpretations, the term Luxe was used spountaneously by the first self declared citizens to initially refer only to the capital city (Luxe) territory corresponding to the modern city of Trento in Italy. The French term "Luxe" means "luxury", but its only a case and many people dont consider it as cause of the nation name.

History

Foundation

In 2009, Luca Mirante embarked on a creative endeavor that would eventually give rise to the hypothetical City of Luxe. Founded within the confines of his bedroom, this imaginative city boasted an array of establishments, including shops, banks, a municipality, and a network of streets. Mirante's creation extended beyond the confines of Luxe, with two distinct fractions named Vicolo and Bussolino, along with other designated areas within his apartment.

In 2012, Luca Mirante elevated his imaginative project to a new level by establishing the Republic of Luxe. This marked a pivotal moment as Mirante took steps to formalize his creations into distinct states. Notably, he forged diplomatic ties by twinning Luxe with another state, Franci City a neighboring entity. Mirante's visionary approach continued as he played a role in the founding of two additional states, Emilsang and the Stato di Alux, all situated in the italian city of Trento.

As Mirante's creative endeavors flourished, he sought to unite these micro-states under a common banner. In pursuit of this goal, he founded the Union of Micro-States (U.M.S.), a distinctive alliance comprising Luxe, Franci City, Emilsang, and the Stato di Alux. This union was a testament to Mirante's ingenuity and ambition, bringing together diverse entities within the framework of a loose confederation. The Union of Micro-States operates as a unique experiment in micro-nationalism: The member states, all situated within Italy, maintain individual governments, currencies, and cultural identities. Despite their autonomy, the UMS members engage in collaborative efforts through a common trade agreement, sport and a military alliance, fostering cooperation among these fictional entities.

The first war

In the tumultuous year of 2014, the once-unbreakable alliance between the states of Luxe and Franzlandia within the Union of Micro-States (UMS) faced a dramatic and abrupt unraveling. These two entities, previously the closest of allies, had forged a robust economic and military partnership within the UMS, often collaborating to exert influence on community decisions.

The early part of the year witnessed a swift deterioration in the relationship between Luxe and Franzlandia, reaching a critical juncture in early February. Accusations from the Franzlandiese government led by president Francesco Gigliotti, charged Luxe with clandestinely exploiting the alliance for its own gain, further asserting that Luxe operated as a dictatorship. The mounting tensions reached a boiling point in the middle of the same month, as Franzlandia shockingly launched an attack during a Luxe PallaTennis men's national team training session. The conflict escalated rapidly, forcing the intervention of the Army of Luxe and sparking the onset of the First War of the UMS.

The war unfolded over the ensuing half-month, characterized by a bloody and costly confrontation between Luxe and Franzlandia. Ultimately, Luxe emerged victorious, compelling Franzlandia to bear a substantial indemnity as a consequence of its aggression. While this conflict definitively demonstrated the unsustainability of the once-strong alliance, it also plunged the UMS into a period of instability.

However, amid the chaos and upheaval, some positive outcomes emerged from the ashes of war. The First War of the UMS prompted a reevaluation and strengthening of the remaining states within the UMS. Recognizing the imperative to collaborate in order to safeguard their collective interests, the other member states became more acutely aware of the need for unity and cooperation in the aftermath of the conflict. The war, therefore, served as a catalyst for a renewed sense of solidarity and purpose among the surviving UMS states, shaping a more resilient and interconnected future for this unique union of micro-states.

Indipendence Declaration

In the transformative year of 2016, President Luca Mirante of Luxe embarked on a significant journey towards full independence. On April 18, he took a decisive step by signing a formal declaration of independence, officially proclaiming Luxe as a sovereign state. This momentous act was a culmination of a status quo that had already seen Luxe being recognized by other micronations as independent, with national activities being self-managed.

The declaration of independence held both symbolic and practical significance. While Luxe had operated independently for some time, this formal proclamation marked the beginning of a new era, officially establishing Luxe as the Republic of Luxe. The declaration also meant that Luxe now bore the responsibility for its defense and foreign policy. Additionally, the micronation had to pay a substantial sum to Italy as compensation for the use of private Italian territory.

Interestingly, the announcement of Luxe's independence did not elicit widespread clamor or opposition. Micronations acknowledged the declaration without protests or demonstrations. However, the economic landscape of Luxe did experience a shift. The cost of independence compelled Luxe to raise taxes, resulting in a slight economic slowdown.

Despite the economic challenges, Luxe's independence was viewed as a positive development. It served as a formal acknowledgment of the hard work and dedication of the Luxese people, paving the way for a brighter future for this emerging micronation. The declaration of independence, preserved in the national archives, remains a tangible reminder of the historic day Luxe became a sovereign state, instilling a sense of pride and identity among the Luxese people.

The "Boom" Years

The Boom Years, often referred to as the Great Two Years, encapsulate the transformative period from January 2017 to January 2019 in Luxe's history. This era witnessed a surge in national and international recognition, marked by a notable increase in citizenship. The influx of new citizens provided the momentum for the launch of pivotal institutions and activities, chief among them being the establishment of the Parliament of Luxe, various ministries, and a spectrum of sports competitions. Notably, the Boom Years were characterized by significant achievements in the military sphere and the forging of numerous diplomatic relations.

A key highlight of this flourishing period was the establishment of diplomatic ties with the rapidly growing micronation, Angarb, founded by Andrea Garbini. This alliance was initially perceived as a major success for Luxe. However, the relationship took a drastic turn as the Prime Minister of Angarb, acting without the knowledge of the head of state, declared war against Luxe. This unconstitutional act triggered an internal crisis, leading Luxe to exploit the chaos and orchestrate the collapse of Angarb from within, an event immortalized as the Sabotage to Angarb. This maneuver swiftly brought an end to hostilities and culminated in the annexation of the state.

Subsequently, in the summer of 2017, another diplomatic crisis unfolded with Franzlandia, culminating in a text message declaring war sent to the president's private cell phone. The conflict, known as the War of Two Hours, was a brief yet decisive engagement resulting in the division of Franzlandia between Luxe and Fabroland. Luxe gained control of the western part, establishing the Governatorato di Franzlandia Ovest.

While the Boom Years were marked by significant territorial expansions, population growth, and military strengthening for Luxe, the conflicts during this period, particularly the Sabotage to Angarb and the War of Two Hours, cast a shadow on the darker aspects of micronationalism. Despite the violent episodes, the Boom Years simultaneously represented a period of substantial progress for Luxe. The micronation not only solidified its foundations but also laid the groundwork for future success through the establishment of diplomatic relations and the introduction of new institutions and activities.

The Constitution and the Diplomatic Period

At the end of the war, the government decided to begin the final publication of the constitution taking all the articles published in previous years and merged them. In 2018, Luxe known the republic of Damazia and Luca Mirante became honorary senator. After the delcaration of indipendence of Chelandia, Luca Mirante has been reteared from senator, causing tensions between the two governments. Ever in 2018, Lorenzo Valente, prince of Tawil, has contacted the president of Luxe for making an alliance between the states. Luxe accepted the invite and for 6 months Tawil and Luxe were friendly. Chelandia and Tawil joined the U.M.S.. On instagram, in ocktober, Luca Mirante known the president of Astana, Andrea Grassidonio and the United States of Astana joined into U.M.S. too. For the moment, the new diplomatic set-up seemed mostly solid, but not for long. After few weeks, Luxe known CMSIT, a state that Luca Mirante has defined racist for the discrimination of any etnic communites. Chelandia and Tawil wanted to let in CMSIT but Luca Mirante refused. The states accuse he for dictatorship and Chelandia, Tawil and Astana leaved the U.M.S. and had founded the Union of Italian Micronations. Luxese intelligence intervened against CMSIT and was disrupted for the damage caused with the operation called War of Eleven Minutes. Was started the Cold Crisis of UMS. Astana decide to declare war to Luxe and it begins The War of Umni Against UMS and after few weeks, Astana declares the peace. After the war, Astana declares wars to Luxe and after 3 weeks of battles, Astana declares peace. Astana and Luxe firmed a treaty of allegiance and the italian communists micronations falled. The parliament of Luxe, in december 2020 saw a government crisis, why the general Andrea Garbini and the prime minister Giulia Benedetti left Luxe and the parliament was angry. After few votations, all is resolved and Luxe is in peace. When Astana Became a kingdom, Luxe hit the country with sanctions for the treaty, but astana refused to pay them and closed the rapport with Luxe, the parliament closed the embassies of Astana in Luxe.

Government Crisis and Pandemic

The Government Crisis of Luxe starts. In January 2020, the government says that in 2 weeks there is the parliamentary elections. After this event, the Partito Democratico Forza Luxe lost his supremacy after 3 governments, achieved by Partito Social-Democratico. However, there are 4 seats each, so a coalition must be born. However, the party president refused to realign himself with the PSD, so in the fourth government in fact no one rules. Despite this, the democratic party has also lost the presidency of parliament, in fact Filippo Abramov has become the new president, removing the place for Elias Rafael Rivera Guerra. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, government activities have encountered quite a few problems. Luxe has promoted joint and sporting activities at national and international level and has implemented several summer events to keep the national identity firm. At the beginning of 2021, the general elections were postponed to September and the parliament in any case finished its mandate, leaving the reins of the executive to the president who is currently working on national crisis. Up to now the government has taken part in many online campaigns of all kinds trying to promote the activities and recently there is nothing more than Aranthaia Affairs.

The Supreme Court is composed of one judges, who are appointed by the president for a lifetime term. The Supreme Court has the power to interpret the constitution and to hear appeals from lower courts. Luxe's political system has evolved over time. In the beginning, Luxe was an oligarchy headed by Luca Mirante. However, after Luxe's declaration of independence, it became a democratic republic. In 2019, Luxe underwent a reform that made it a parliamentary democratic republic. The parliamentary system of government gives more power to the Parliament than to the president. This is because the Parliament can pass laws and remove the president from office. The democratic system of government ensures that the people have a say in how the country is run. The political system of Luxe is still evolving. It is possible that the system will change again in the future. However, the current system has served Luxe well, and it is likely to continue for many years to come.

The Government

The Parliament of Luxe is a virtual parliament. It has no physical form, but it is based on the internet and the server is located in Luxe. The government of Luxe is located in two places: one in Luxe and one in an unknown area of the foreign governorate. The office in Luxe is the headquarters of the government, and it is where the president and the cabinet meet. The office in the foreign governorate is the ministerial seat, and it is where the ministers of the government work. The government of Luxe has a direct line with the other governments in the U.M.S.. This line is not a mobile phone line, but it is a non-traceable service. This means that the calls cannot be tracked by the government or by any other organization.

Council of Ministries

The ministry is the body that represents all the ministers of the republic. It serves as the central hub of governmental decision-making and policy implementation, ensuring a coordinated approach to governance in Republic of Luxe. Throughout its history, the ministry has played a crucial role in shaping the direction and policies of the nation. One of the most notable figures to have held the esteemed position of the absolute Prime Minister of Luxese was Vladimir Piasente, a visionary leader whose legacy continues to influence the political landscape to this day. In the structure of the Luxe government, each minister is responsible for overseeing and managing a specific "topic" or portfolio related to the functioning of the state. For instance, the Luxe Defence Minister deals with crucial matters concerning the nation's armed forces, security apparatus, and other military bodies. Similarly, there are ministers for various other domains, such as finance, education, health, foreign affairs, and infrastructure, among others. Over the years, there has been a significant surge in interest among the population regarding the role of a minister. Many citizens now aspire to assume ministerial positions to actively participate in shaping public policies and contributing to the betterment of the nation. This heightened interest is indicative of the growing engagement of the Luxese citizens in the political process and their desire to play an active role in the country's governance. The term of office for a minister typically lasts three years, during which they are entrusted with the responsibility of fulfilling their designated duties and implementing policies for the betterment of the nation and its citizens. However, it's worth noting that a minister can be dismissed or relieved of their duties before the completion of their term under certain circumstances. Such situations may arise due to political reshuffling, policy disagreements, or any actions that may compromise the integrity and performance of the minister's role.

The process of appointing and replacing ministers is taken seriously, and careful consideration is given to ensure that individuals with the right expertise, experience, and commitment to public service are entrusted with these critical roles. The Luxese government continuously strives to maintain transparency and accountability in its decision-making processes, assuring its citizens that the selection of ministers is based on merit and the best interest of the nation.

Premier

The Chief Minister of the Republic is the highest-ranking official in the Luxe government and holds a position of immense authority and responsibility. As the representative of the entire ministry, the Chief Minister serves as the face of the government and acts as a unifying figure for the nation. This influential role extends beyond being the head of parliament and grants the Chief Minister more power than even the President. One of the most critical aspects of the Chief Minister's duties is convening and presiding over the meetings of the Council. The Council, composed of various ministers and other high-ranking officials, serves as a forum for discussing and deciding on important matters of national interest. As the greatest exponent of the Council, the Chief Minister's leadership and guidance are crucial in steering the nation's direction and ensuring effective governance. In addition to domestic affairs, the Chief Minister actively participates in national and international meetings. This involvement in global forums demonstrates the Republic's commitment to engaging with the international community and playing an active role in shaping global policies. The Chief Minister's presence in these meetings signifies the importance the Luxese government places on diplomacy, cooperation, and maintaining strong ties with other nations. From a governmental point of view, the role of the Chief Minister holds significant weight in terms of decision-making and policy implementation. Their decisions and actions have a direct impact on the nation's trajectory, both domestically and on the international stage. As the highest authority within the government, the Chief Minister possesses the ability to influence the course of legislation, executive actions, and administrative policies, making their role essential in shaping the future of the Republic.

Given the substantial authority and visibility associated with the position, the selection of the Chief Minister is a matter of utmost importance. The Luxe citizens and the parliamentary representatives engage in a rigorous and thorough process to elect the most capable and qualified candidate to hold this vital role. The Chief Minister's ability to lead, inspire, and navigate complex political landscapes is of paramount importance to ensure effective governance and to address the diverse needs and aspirations of the Luxese population.

Their primary responsibilities include addressing and preventing protests, engaging in constructive dialogues with citizens, and finding solutions to various issues that may arise in different Governorates. In times of unrest or when faced with potentially sensitive situations, the Minister of the Interior has the authority to seek assistance from Luxe Secret Services if necessary.

Additionally, the Foreign Minister plays a crucial role in advocating for Luxese citizens' rights and well-being in foreign countries. While it is the President who is primarily summoned for high-level meetings and official diplomatic engagements, the significance of the Foreign Minister's role should not be underestimated. In the absence of the President due to official duties, illness, or any other reason, the Foreign Minister steps in as the acting head of state. This temporary replacement highlights the level of trust and responsibility vested in the Foreign Minister, demonstrating their readiness to handle critical situations and uphold the nation's interests in the absence of the President.

They work closely with military commanders, strategists, and intelligence agencies to develop effective defense policies and contingency plans, ensuring that Luxe is well-prepared to address any potential threats or challenges. The significance of the Defense Ministry is evident in the fact that each legislature must appoint a defense minister. This ensures continuity and stability in the nation's defense strategies and policies, as well as fostering a smooth transition of responsibilities between different administrations. Despite occasional criticisms, the Luxese people and government recognize the vital role played by the Defense Ministry in safeguarding the nation's interests and maintaining peace and security both domestically and internationally. The defense minister's work is often demanding and subject to scrutiny, but their dedication to the well-being of the nation and its citizens remains unwavering.

Health

The Minister of Health assumes a pivotal role in the Luxese government, being entrusted with the management and implementation of rules and regulations concerning the protection of citizens' health within the Republic. This vital responsibility includes overseeing healthcare policies, promoting public health initiatives, and ensuring the well-being of the Luxese population. The position of the Minister of Health is highly sought after, reflecting the recognition of the importance of healthcare in the nation's governance. The two health ministers who have served in this capacity have borne the weight of this crucial role, working diligently to improve healthcare systems and enhance access to quality medical services for all citizens. During times of conflict, such as wars, the Ministry of Health plays a critical role in managing resources to support soldiers and medical personnel on the frontlines. They provide essential medical kits and supplies, ensuring that those who risk their lives for the nation's defense receive proper care and attention. Amidst the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Health played a central role in devising and implementing regulations to curb the spread of the virus. They worked closely with healthcare professionals, experts, and other governmental agencies to coordinate responses, handle medical emergencies, and disseminate crucial information to the public. Throughout these trying times, the Minister of Health demonstrated leadership and resilience, striving to protect the well-being of the Luxese citizens while navigating complex and rapidly changing circumstances. By effectively managing healthcare resources and implementing appropriate measures, the Ministry of Health contributed significantly to the Republic's efforts in safeguarding public health during crises.

Sport

The Ministry of Sport, though optional in some governmental structures, has consistently been valued and appointed due to the significant importance citizens place on sports and physical activities. The Luxese population is highly active in sports, making it a crucial aspect of the nation's culture and identity. This ministry is responsible for promoting and organizing various sports events, ranging from local competitions to national and international tournaments. By supporting and encouraging sports activities, the Ministry of Sport fosters a sense of community, healthy competition, and national pride. In addition to event promotion, the ministry plays a vital role in managing sports federations across different disciplines. These federations act as governing bodies for various sports, setting rules and standards, and facilitating talent development. Moreover, the Ministry of Sport oversees the national register of athletes, which serves as a comprehensive database of talented individuals representing the country in various sports. This registry helps identify and support promising athletes, providing them with opportunities and resources to excel in their respective fields. Through its efforts, the Ministry of Sport contributes to the overall well-being of citizens by encouraging physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. Participation in sports not only promotes physical health but also instills valuable life skills such as discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. The government's continuous appointment of a sports minister reflects its recognition of the positive impact that sports have on society. The ministry's work goes beyond the traditional realms of governance, as it nurtures national pride and unity through shared sporting achievements and milestones. By supporting the Ministry of Sport, the Luxe government ensures that sports play a significant role in the country's cultural fabric and contributes to the nation's sporting success on the global stage. The ministry's endeavors create an environment where athletes can thrive, and citizens can actively engage in various sports, fostering a strong and dynamic sports culture within the Republic.

Economy

The Luxese economy is based on technological commerce and the export of paper. The paper market is twice the needs of the entire nation. Other exported products are cotton, basil, and handicrafts. Luxe is a highly self-sufficient state with few imports and many exports. Almost all Luxese companies are listed on the stock exchange, where citizens can buy and sell shares. The stock market is a key factor for companies, as numerous bets determine numerous winnings for GDP growth. An investigation carried out on April 30 2019, decreed that a total of 273,400 Loid were produced at Luxe.

Currency

The Loid, a vibrant and symbolic currency of Luxe, stands as a testament to the micronation's independence and economic aspirations. Introduced in 2009, the Loid has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from hand-crafted notes to digitally designed denominations.

The initial generation of Loid notes, meticulously designed and cut by hand on vibrant green paper, exuded a rustic charm. Their four Ls prominently displayed in the corners served as a subtle yet unmistakable identifier, while the value of each note was boldly inscribed at its center. These notes, imbued with the spirit of craftsmanship and personal touch, represented the nascent stages of Luxe's economic identity. In contrast, the current generation of Loid notes showcases a sophisticated aesthetic, embodying Luxe's progressive outlook. With a cascading waterfall effect showcasing the Luxese flag, these notes exude a sense of dynamism and innovation. Created using digital technology, they transcend the limitations of handcrafting, allowing for intricate details and vibrant colors. Their visual appeal mirrors Luxe's ambition to establish itself as a modern and forward-thinking micronation. Over time, the value of the Loid has fluctuated, reflecting the dynamic nature of economics. Initially pegged to the euro on a one-to-one basis, the Loid has faced the challenges of inflation, gradually diminishing in value. Currently, 10,000 Loid notes are equivalent to one euro. Despite these fluctuations, the Loid remains deeply cherished by Luxe citizens. It serves as a symbol of national pride, a tangible manifestation of their micronation's autonomy and aspirations. The Loid represents their ability to function independently, establishing their own economic system and charting their own course amidst the global financial landscape. In addition to its symbolic significance, the Loid plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce within Luxe and beyond. It enables Luxe citizens to engage in transactions with other micronations and with the outside world, promoting economic exchange and fostering broader connections. The Loid serves as a vital tool for economic development, empowering Luxe to participate in the global marketplace. As Luxe continues to evolve, the Loid is poised to play an increasingly important role in its economic future. With its vibrant design and symbolic significance, the Loid is a powerful emblem of Luxe's independence, economic aspirations, and commitment to a thriving financial system. Its enduring presence reflects Luxe's determination to establish itself as a dynamic and prosperous micronation.

Gdp pro capita

On May 1, 2019, Luxe marked a significant milestone as the state's GDP was officially calculated for the first time, revealing an impressive figure of 4,834 Loid Pro Capite (excluding online payments). This places Luxe among the highest-ranking nations in Europe in terms of economic output. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering that Luxe had recently transitioned to the new Loid currency, successfully recovering all old currencies. Moreover, the medium-high production of banknotes further underscores the economic vitality of Luxe. Luxe's notable GDP is a reflection of its robust and resilient economy. The economic landscape of Luxe is diverse, with pillars such as tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing forming the foundation of its prosperity. Luxe has also established itself as a major exporter, contributing significantly to the global market in paper, cotton, and basil. The high GDP attained by Luxe is not merely a statistical figure; rather, it is a testament to the unwavering commitment and hard work of the Luxese people. Over the years since its founding in 2009, Luxe has undergone remarkable development, evolving into a thriving economic powerhouse within the micronational community. The success story of Luxe serves as an inspiration, highlighting the nation's journey from its inception to its current status as a formidable player in the micronational economic landscape.

The Stock Exchange

The Luxe stock exchange was founded in 2018, from an idea of ​​Luca mirante. To date, shares have been bought equal to or greater than 5000 Loid; the highest ever recorded was that of 15,000 Loid. The Elec and Banca di Luxe S.p.A. are the first and have been battling for months. It has no official seat, in fact you can invest online in the Luxe Wasthapp group and the statistics are sent every month. This has meant that numerous companies of entrepreneurs were born with the intent to buy the most prestigious companies.

Technological Development

The government has always shown itself open to technological development over the years, wanting to make the capital (and other governorates) always at the forefront and automated. The greatest example is that of Luxe, which is about to receive the Luxe "Smart City" award. In the east, the government has provided a new office laptop, a google home that welcomes tourists to the republic, an EPSON wifi full-hd printer, a google smart-tv receiver, which via google home the transmission of video, switching on and off and more can be requested ... There is also a led lamp and a smart multi-color light bulb controlled electronically.

Culture

The Luxesi culture is very varied; in fact, due to the variety of citizens' nationalities, the different traditions meet. However, the state has maintained neutrality regarding the various traditions while protecting freedom and valuing differences.

Official languages

The first official language of the republic for Italian, which is spoken by the whole population. In 2010, the inhabitants wanted to create their own language, simple to learn, to break away from Italian culture. The Dialetto Luxese was created, which was discreetly published from 2010 to 2014. This language is now spoken by a few individuals, but it is still one of the official languages. On November 16, 2019, the Partito Democratico Forza Luxe proposed in parliament, to make the republic more special and also because citizens are fascinated by the fantasy genre and role-playing games, Elven Quenya one of the official languages ​​of Luxe. With 6 votes in favor and 1 against, on November 17, the official announcement was made and numerous guides were put on the market.

Population

The map of citizens nationality

The Luxese population is renowned for its patriotism and enthusiastic enthusiasm for joining the micronation project. The diverse range of nationalities represented among Luxe's citizens creates a multicultural and multiethnic state.
