The Hilbertian Republic, also known as Hilbertia, is a landlocked self-declared country in Central Europe surrounded by Slovakia, located near the village of Plavecký Peter, and is part of a larger group of lands called the Hilbertian Realm. It was founded by Alex Ashford on November 23, 2019. Although on the website NationStates, Hilbertia was founded on November 13, 2019. The capital city of Hilbertia is Malaja, located in the Malaja region. The country has a population of 26 people and is currently not recognized by any other country, but is a member state of the European Union of Micronations. Hilbertia's official languages are Hilbertian Sinjal, Slovak, and English.
Hilbertia's mostly flat territory spans a total area of 2408 m² (615 km² including other territories of the Hilbertian Realm) and is divided into 6 regions, each with its own flag. The entire nation and the Hilbertian Realm are usually managed and governed from the territory of Nauriania, which serves as the capital city of the Hilbertian Realm and the seat of the Hilbertian government.
There are no official state religions as Hilbertia is a secular state according to its constitution. The majority of the population is atheist, with the largest religion being Catholicism, followed by Pantheism.
The national food is sheep cheese potatoes with bacon; the national drink is black tea, while the national animal is a guinea pig. Hilbertia's official anthem is an edited version of the song "Life of Birds" by Terry Devine-King.
The currency of Hilbertia is both the Euro and the Hilbertian Nex. The value of 1 Nex is tied to the value of 1mg (milligram) of gold: 1 NEX = 0.001 AUG. It does not yet exist, but the planned denominations will most likely be 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 as coins and 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 as banknotes.
Hilbertia sees itself as a mostly neutral nation, trying not to pick sides in major global political crises. Instead, Hilbertia advocates for diplomatic and peaceful resolutions to conflicts on all sides. The country is not part of any major power block and prefers to stay in a non-aligned state.
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.

Geography and nature
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 is used just as a decoration today.
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.

The special federal territory of Nauriania is the seat of the Hilbertian government and the capital of the Hilbertian Realm.

Production
Clay is the only raw resource mined in Hilbertia. It is first purified, cleaned and finally dried and packaged. It is mainly mined in the Swamp region.
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. Shortly after, the Department of Rocket Technology's activities have been suspended.

Former member |
Hilbertia was a member of the Grand Unified Micronational from February 4, 2024 until August 1, 2024, when Hilbertia left the organization. The Hilbertian government had considered the GUM as America-centric and dominated, as well as increasingly more radical in its political views. The government had also accused several GUM members of openly supporting Hamas, which Hilbertia considers a terrorist organization. A similar America-centric story goes for Hilbertia's membership in the Micronational Assembly, of which it was a member from April 16, 2021, but has since also left for these reasons.
The Union of Slovak Micronations was an organization of which Hilbertia was a founding member. However, it only lasted for a very short time. The government is hoping to revive the organization at some point in the future.
Entry requirements
To enter Hilbertia, EU citizens must show their ID card upon arrival, for non-EU citizens a passport is required. Almost all micronation passports are accepted and can get stamped upon arrival. Citizens of some countries may need a visa or an eVisa to enter. The exact entry requirements for every country and territory can be found on the Hilbertian visa policy wiki page.
Visa Policy of the Hilbertian Republic
The territory of Nauriania serves as a consulate for Slovakia and is located in Bratislava. The territory also has several other functions.
All foreign aircraft are banned from entering Hilbertian airspace without securing a permit from the Hilbertian government. Landing is also only allowed with a valid permit, but only unmanned aircraft are permitted to land. This also applies to all non-self-governing territories of the Hilbertian Realm. The only legal way to enter Hilbertia is through the eastern border crossing.
Passport
The Hilbertian passport is currently in the making, but in the future every Hilbertian citizen will be able to apply for the passport, which will allow them to travel to other micronations and collect stamps.
