Emblems

Flag

The blue triangle symbolizes the sky, while the green triangle signifies the soil, ground, and plant life. The central white stripe represents the only major river stream in the country - Riava. The yellow circle at the center symbolizes the sun, and the flower within it symbolizes all the flowers of Hilbertia - symbols of the nation. Positioned in the top right corner, the hawk serves as a representation of the diverse bird species, including hawks themselves, as it is a common sight to observe them circling above. Lastly, the 5 large and 2 small stars represent the 5 primary regions and 2 subregions of the country.

Coat of arms

The central white flower serves as the representative emblem for all the flowers of Hilbertia. The constellation of 5 large and 2 small stars mirrors the 5 primary regions and 2 subregions of Hilbertia. The blue background, in turn, serves as a symbolic representation of the sky, peace, and liberty.

History

The land of Hilbertia was acquired in the year 2004, and subsequently, in 2010, construction started on a house that would become the future capital, Malaja. The Hilbertian Chronicle is a document recording significant events in chronological order, but is not available to the public

Geography and nature

Orto Tokoy Peak - Hilbertian Realm's highest point

The Hilbertian Republic is located near a small village of Plavecký Peter in Slovakia. Altogether the nation consists of 5 main regions and 3 subregions. They are represented as stars on the national flag and the coat of arms. The total area of all regions is 2408 m².

In Hilbertia, there are 3 buildings, The largest of them is Malaja, the capital, and also the highest building in the country. The second one is Unimobunka, which is used to store materials and tools, among other things. The third one is Kadibudka, which had been used as a toilet before Malaja was built. Today it's just a decoration.

Riava and Little Riava are the only 2 rivers in Hilbertia. Riava forms a border between the Upper Plains Region and Central & Swamp regions and flows through 4 regions in total. There are 3 artificial lakes on Riava with 2 small pipe waterfalls between the 2 Lower Riava lakes. In the Upper Plains Rregion, the Angel lake is located, measuring 2,9 meters in diameter and has a maximum depth of 0,35 meters. The river then flows outside of the country but emerges again the Lower plains region, where the lowest point of Hilbertia can be found (approximately 218 meters above sea level). Riava then flows into one of the three wells and continues underground.

The highest point of the Hilbertian Republic itself is Graphite hill - ~226 meters above sea level. However, the highest point of the entire Hilbertian Realm is Orto Tokoy Peak - 3176 meters a.s.l. - located in the Orto Tokoy territory surrounded by Kyrgyzstan. So far the mountain remains unclimbed, but it has been photographed during a 2023 Hilbertian expedition to the Orto Tokoy territory. A Hilbertian expedition to climb the peak is planned sometime in the next 3-5 years.

There are several areas bordering Hilbertia which may become part of the country in the future. Hilbertian government plans to buy these surrounding areas and expand the country. One area beyond the current border of Hilbertia had been a disputed territory called the Swamp region, but on April 12th 2021, the Hilbertian government had decided to drop its claims to this area to prevent conflicts. However, after the owner was later contacted, an agreement was reached and the land was bought on July 23rd 2021, and it became fully integrated and a part of Hilbertia on August 23rd 2021.

External territories

Hilbertia is part of a larger group of lands called the Hilbertian Realm. Other than Hilbertia, It consists of 4 self-governing states, 6 non-self-governing territories, and 1 special neutral federal territory. These are not part of the Hilbertian Republic itself. The Hilbertian government has no power over the self-governing states, but all permanent residents of these places are also Hilbertian citizens. All non-self-governing territories are directly under the control of the Hilbertian government, with the exception of Vinland, which is under the control of Bespon. The non-self-governing territory of Nauriania is the seat of the Hilbertian government and the capital of the Hilbertian Realm. All self-governing states were incorporated into the Hilbertian Realm by signing a treaty with the Hilbertian government, apart from Orto Tokoy, which was declared unilaterally, and all non-self-governing territories were unilaterally claimed by the Hilbertian government, as there are no permanent inhabitants.

The Central Universal Republic, which used to be a self-governing state, had split off from Nauriania on December 7, 2021, but later rejoined Nauriania. The former territories Asmara and Astaria rejoined Slovakia in 2022.

Most Hilbertian states and territories use the Euro as currency, while Ethos uses the Pound Sterling, Orto Tokoy uses the Kyrgyz Som, Firingholmen uses the Norwegian Krone, and Dustin Island uses the Antarctic Dollar.

In order to visit these states territories, visitors have to fill in a visa application form or contact the Hilbertian consulate in Slovakia. The only state currently open for visitors is Orto Tokoy.

Aluminum is produced by collecting aluminum cans and other aluminum waste, melting and casting them into ingots or rounds. Lead is also produced in small amounts.

Hilbertia also used to produce various chemicals and pure materials in small amounts, mainly gunpowder, fine coal powder, and sugar-based solid rocket fuel, which was used to power Hilbertian rockets in the past.

Department of Rocket Technology

Solid-fuel rocket boosters were being developed between 2021 and 2022. The rocket launchpad was located in the Central Region. These rockets were made out of PVC pipes and the rocket fuel was made out of a sugar-based substance produced in Hilbertia.

Lantea rocket: Lantea rocket was a rocket which used the L-1 solid-fuel booster engine. It was made out of a PVC pipe filled with R-1 rocket fuel. The last test (LN3 prototype's 2nd launchpad test) was conducted on January 17, 2021, and resulted in launching the rocket from the launchpad into the ground.
