The Republic of Aweland, more commonly known as Aweland, was a micronation with territories in West Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, County Galway, and Florida. It was a hereditary monarchy, where the Head of State was selected by the previous Head of State, as stated in the Order of the Founder. The four claims of Aweland were known as the Territories of the Republic of Aweland[1]. The official languages of the Republic of Aweland were English (UK) and French.
Aweland was founded in early April 2022 by Willow Cizdeizd I[2] as an absolute monarchy.

The concept of the Republic of Aweland originated from early 2017.
