was the second oldest known micronation in Estonia.

Government

The micronation was a republic, with the most powerful member being The President in Charge. Voting was allowed to all members above the Age of Powers. Check out the hierarchy here. The President was noted to be friendly and cooperative with other members.

Etymology

The etymology is unknown, because the original founders have moved and lost interest in participating. The name is a direct translation from Estonian.

History

The Republic actually started as a parliamentary monarchy, but after the leader role was given to a new member, the form of government changed to republic. At its peak, the member count was 15-20, but after the Great Peace, the member count dropped to 3-5.

Geography

The Republic was located in the territories of Estonia, specifically in the northern county. It once expanded to the eastern counties, but after the Great Peace, the Republic surrendered the lands and continued in the north. The micronation did not have a capital, because it was based in a location, where a capital would be useless.

Law and Order

Law and order is the most developed state sector.

  1. The Defense Agency, or in Estonian, Päkapikkude Kaitseagentuur. It was the police force of the Republic with all members taking part. It has a self-developed penalty system and laws.
  2. Tactical Support Team, or the military agency. With only the best involved, it was capable of preventing major accidents and dangers to the government.
  3. Department of Official Documents gave out licenses and documents, thus keeping the Republic working.
