Cristoria, officially Republic of Cristoria, was a micronation located within North America, specifically Toledo, Ohio, United States. The micronation was founded by Christopher P. on 1 January 2023, by declaring independence from the United States[1]. The Republic of Cristoria was the official successor of the 2021 government of the Kingdom of Cristoria, another micronation formerly owned and founded by Christopher P. The Republic of Cristoria shared its borders entirely with the United States of America and had no maritime borders. The capital of the Republic of Cristoria was New Toledo, named after the American City of Toledo.
History
Following the abdication of the the Rosso-Cristorian Empire and its Emperors in December of 2022, ex-King Christopher P., representatives from New Toledo, Saturnia, and former representatives of the Kingdom of Cristoria established a new republic named the Republic of Cristoria.
The Declaration of Independence[1], the Constitution, and the Book of Laws were all drafted on 1 January 2023, during the (unofficial) first Congress meeting. With the approval of the newly formed Congress, the republic signed its first pact with the Socialist Republic of Hoku on 4 January 2023.
The micronation, being mostly peaceful as it was in the Reconstruction Period, entered its first conflict with another micronation on 28 January 2023 and whilst still simultaneously regaining political stability since the Kingdom of Cristoria, they were still victorious. This operation, more commonly known as Operation: Blazing Glory, was carried out on 28 January 2023 by the Congress of Cristoria and the council of the Syndicate Nations of Prosperity against the (then) Gorthian Federation. Following this operation, Gorthian-influenced micronations were condemned in order to bring the operation to a close. As a result, the Second War on Gorthalism broke out and was soon resolved, with the Gorthians proposing the Treaty of Jwanczuk, a peace agreement.[4]
The Republic of Cristoria began the process of becoming an autonomous republic within the United Socialist Republics (USR), often known as Almendria, on 19 February 2023. The Republic of Cristoria officially changed its name to the Socialist Republic of Cristoria during the inauguration because the country had already started adhering to socialist principles before it joined the USR.
The Socialist Republic of Cristoria seized control of the Gorthian Federation's digital communication center[a] on 20 February 2023, with the help of the United Socialist Republics (USR). Tizian Aruna and his allies used Dylan Jwanczuk's address as a point of interrogation to obtain ownership of the server. Many Gorthian users within their Discord server rebelled during the Almendrian occupation, with some demanding that Tizian Aruna return the server.
On 21 February 2023, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria formally and informally declared independence from the United Socialist Republics (USR) illegally and the Cristorians pursued their independence with violence against the USR. Tizian Aruna of the United Socialist Republics had ownership of the Cristorian Discord server, which in retaliation, President Christopher nuked it and messaged all members to join the new server that the Cristorian government had made.
On 5 March 2023, President Christopher was able to regain the former Cristorian Discord server, which had been in the hands of Tizian Aruna at the time. Following the recovery of the server, President Christopher banned Tizian Aruna and as a result thereof, he was doxxed, resulting in further condemnation of the United Socialist Republics.
During the months of April and June, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria seen new levels of peace and progress with more legislation being enacted to improve the security of the micronation, more planning and organization was carried out in multiple departments, and the signing of peace treaties with foreign micronations.
Throughout the months of July and August 2023, tensions between the Socialist Republic of Cristoria and the Federal Dynasty of Gorthia rose to never seen levels since January with Dylan J. ordering the Federal Dynasty of Gorthia to leave the Seigneurie, an alliance initially founded by Gorthia, and to condemn the remaining members; them being the Orange Republic of Rooseveltia, Socialist Republic of Cristoria, and the Holstonian Empire. With anger, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria and the Syndicate Nations of Prosperity condemned the entirety of the Federal Dynasty of Gorthia and the two nations ended up in a 2 week standoff, with Cristorians supporting a third war with Gorthia, however Congress ended up levitating the situation and the conflict resulted in peace.
On 14 August 2023, alongside the Independent Cristorian Party, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria applied for membership in the International Workers Congress and received membership in an effort to "further Cristoria's influence on the intermicronational stage", according to Christopher P.
In August, President Christopher's 4 year old Discord account had got banned due to a misunderstanding with the platform. Which as a result, Christopher attempted to appeal and it was rejected. As a result, the original Cristorian Discord server that had been active since April 2022, had been lost. Following this, a new server was made, under the ownership of Christopher's alternative account that evidently became his main account.
On 1 September 2023, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria was formally dissolved due to "deteriorating economic issues" according to Christopher P. As a result, Cristoria's IWC membership was suspended.
On 1 January 2024, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria was officially refounded at 12:00 AM on New Year's Day. As a result, many older members of the former Cristorian Republic reunited to reform Congress.
On 2024, the Socialist Republic of Cristoria underwent a major reconstruction project which involved the country formerly going back to the suffix of "Republic of Cristoria" and the legislative branches being modeled after the Parliament of the 2023 Government of the Kingdom of Cristoria, whilst still retaining the idea of Congress.[5]
Ultimately, for the "last time Cristoria would ever see herself as a republic" according to Christopher P., the Republic of Cristoria was formally dissolved on 24 January 2024.
Government and structure
The governmental structure of the Republic of Cristoria was divided into three main categories. The three main categories consisted of judicial, legislative, and an executive office, all compromised and governed within a bicameral congress.[2]
House of Missiones
The lower chamber of the congress was the House of Missiones, which composes of forty members. Each Congressman that was apart of the House of Missiones could have earned the ability to earn seats in the elections that took place every six months within during congressional elections. The House of Missiones had the ability to enact, propose, and send bills directly to the president, if the whole house votes upon doing so.
House of Scribes
The upper chamber of the congress was the House of Scribes, which, similarly to the House of Missiones, had forty members. Each scribe and their party also had a chance to earn seats during the congressional elections that took place every six months.
Geography
The republic was very limited to geographic beauty due to it's small size. However, it does occupy enough land for humanitarian presence and living standards.
Territories
Cristoria inherited its previous territories from the Kingdom, giving it life. The capital of the Republic of Cristoria was New Toledo.[b]

Capital City
The capital city of Cristoria was the city that represents Cristoria and the Cristorian motive, which was (still is) to get all of Toledo, then optimistically the entirety of Ohio and Kentucky. The capital of Cristoria was New Toledo. New Toledo had also served as the capital during the kingdom, empire, the anarchist state, and the republic, due a treaty signed during the Free State of Cristoria.[6]
States
States are territories that existed on the main land but were divided into regions, for example, New Toledo would have been a state if it lost its job as being the capital.
Enclaves
Enclaves were typically territories that were surrounded by other land that is not connected to the Cristorian mainland and or surrounded by another nation. These were more typically seen with overseas territories Cristoria will eventually get in the future.
Autonomous Cristorian Republics
Introduced in April 2023, Autonomous Cristorian Republics are republics that have declared autonomy with the Cristorian government and that have been approved by the Congress of Cristoria[7].
On 6 February 2023, the state of Scythia joined the Cristorian union as an Autonomous Cristorian Republic[8]. On 22 May 2023, leader Lyrecode resigned from his position as leader of Scythia, leaving the autonomous republic vacant. As a result thereof and after 4 months of being vacant, President Christopher announced the formal dissolution of Scythia on 3 September 2023.

National colors and symbols
Cristoria's national symbols added up and made Cristoria's unique character shine a little more as a micronation.
National Flag
The national flag was the ultimate symbol of the Cristorian Republic, and was flown to represent the country. The flag is a tricolor that consists of three columns, the left being royal blue, the middle being white, and the right being gray.
During the Flag Act of 2023[14], the previous flag, which was a vertical tri-color occupying the Cristorian colors, was replaced with the old tricolor of the Cristorian Kingdom.
On 19 February 2023, following the inauguration of the republic into the United Socialist Republics, the micronation changed its flag to represent its beliefs of Socialism.
The flag had a hammer and sickle in the top left with three stars around it, symbolizing the states of the Socialist Republic of Cristoria and showing their ability to protect Cristoria's Socialist ideals. On the bottom, there was a blue and gray stripe at the bottom, taking heavy inspiration from the Republics of the Soviet Union.
National Emblem
The National Emblem of the Republic of Cristoria was implemented in March 2023[6], whereas it consists of a heraldric blazon divided into four regions.
The top left region consists of the Atom symbol sitting on a royal purple box, showing the micronation's goal of becoming scientifically advanced in the future.
The top right region consists of a hammer and sickle sitting on a dark red box, symbolizing the micronation's goal of successfully implementing Socialism and Communism in the New World.
The bottom left region consists of an anchor sitting on a teal box, again, representing the micronation's goal of becoming a naval power in the foreseeable future.
The bottom right region consists of two rifles crossed onto one another, symbolizing the micronation's ability to independently defend itself and the rights and liberties of the working class.
The blazon itself is wrapped in leaves which are ultimately held together by the flag of Cristoria, as a symbol of patriotism for the micronation.
National Bird
Cristoria's national bird was the Northern Cardinal. The bird is red and black. It can typically be found in Southeastern Canada, Eastern United States, Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.[15]
National Animal
Cristoria's national animal was the Tortoiseshell Cat. The type of cat is quite pricy and can be bought at the price of $1,000-2,000.[16] A cat represented Cristoria due to vigilance, peace, and aggression when agitated.
National Dish
Cristoria's national dish is currently Beef, as it is seen as the most enjoyed and seen dish within the Socialist Cristorian Republic. Beef is the most seen being imported and exported via the United States, making it the national dish and food.
National Drink
Cristoria's national drink was Coca-Cola, as it was the most imported and exported drink in the micronation. The drink is a soda which is based in the United States[17], however it was declared as Cristoria's national drink. Coca-Cola was also the national drink during the Kingdom's reign. Coca-Cola was the obligated beverage to christen ships that are under the Cristorian flag and or were built in Cristoria, differing from most macronations, whom use champagne as a christening beverage. One could argue Coffee could qualify as the national drink, but Coca-Cola is more seen being imported and exported.
National Anthem
Cristoria's national anthem was Humanity's Hope, made by Israeli-American, Inon Zur. The anthem was chosen as it aimed to give a scientific, professional, and calming feel to the micronation[6]. The song was also used as a sound track for a faction named the "Institute" in the game Fallout 4.[18]
