Guismo, officially the Republic of Guismo (Guismenic: Republique de Guismo [rəpyˈblik də gisˈmy], German: Republik Guismo) is a European micronation.
It was founded in May 2021 by Marc Sarrois, originally to experiment with Proportional Approval Voting and ad hoc political systems. As of November 2021, it has one citizen.
Politics
Guismo is a parliamentary democracy. The nation's parliament, the Guismenic Synod, is directly elected every 26 weeks using Multiplicative Sequential Proportional Approval Voting (MSPAV) with best ordering, an experimental voting system which adapts approval voting to multi-winner elections while maintaining proportionality.
The ceremonial head of state is the President, who is elected by the Synod. The President represents the nation abroad and organises and presides over sessions of the Synod, but does not wield any explicit political powers themself.
Culture
The prime official language of Guismo is Guismenic, a constructed language based on sparce attestations of Moselle Romance.
