The Petrovlastiansk Orthodox Community, more commonly known simply as Larwan (or Larvan in other languages), was a self-declared autonomous micronation within Slovakia, drawing significant inspiration from Mount Athos. This micronation was situated in Petržalka, with its largest settlement being Petrovlastiansk and its second settlement located in a valley in southern Slovakia.
Etymology
The name is fairly self-explanatory: Petrovlastiansk refers to the settlement, Orthodox denotes Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Community, naturally, stands for a community. However, Larwan does not symbolize any specific concept; it is simply a name.
History
Independence
On April 6th, 2024, the Marxist Revolutionary Mariyana K. declared a peaceful secession from Slovakia, citing the nation's deteriorating conditions and the likelihood of the election of a pro-Western president as primary reasons. This declaration prompted the automatic formation of the Secretariat, comprising individuals democratically elected by the populace, excluding the General Secretary. Additionally, it necessitated the drafting of a constitution to formalize the structure and governance of the newly established Larwan People's Socialist Republic.
First Government
Politburo Reform
On April 9th, 2024, a reform was formulated and signed to take effect on April 10th, 2024. This reform involves the replacement of the Secretariat with the Politburo, while retaining the Secretariat as a formal title for the General Secretary and the Secretary of the LSPR. Link to the Reform
Soviet Reform
On the 28th of April 2024, a reform was enacted within the LPSR, officially rechristening it as "The Larwani Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic." This incorporation into the Slovak Republic occurred with minimal intervention from the Slovak government, reflecting the protest of the Workers and Peasants of Slovakia.
Second Government "Maoist Era"
Great Cultural Revolution
Merely four days following the Soviet Reform, a Cultural Revolution was instigated by Abu Mujahid Qasim, a revolutionary adherent of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. His aim was to bring about a revolution and cleanse the revisionist, atheistic regime of Larwan under the WPPL. This revolution proved triumphant, with Abu M. Qasim assuming the position of Chairman of the Larwan People's Socialist Republic. He declared that the Cultural Revolution had just commenced and that the coup represented merely a preliminary stride within the vast Revolution poised to unfold.
Red Masses reform
The reform of the Red Masses aims to dismantle the structures of the former government, resulting in the abolition of positions such as the President of the Presidentium and the General Secretary of the LPSR, along with the replacement of the Red Army by the National Guard. Additionally, the reform nullifies the previous Soviet reform, considering it a mistake of the old regime. The Proletariat is granted the right to a Cultural Revolution should the Party fail to pursue the path towards Communism. Furthermore, the reform elevates Mao Zedong to the position of Generalissimo of the entire nation, acknowledging him as the patriarch of both the Party and the nation of Larwan.
Land Reform
The land reform comprises several key points. Firstly, according to Larwani law, the practice of owning land and then levying taxes on the people residing or working on that land (landlordism) is prohibited. This ensures that upon purchasing land or an apartment, you own it entirely, only necessitating payments for utilities to the Housing Syndicate. Secondly, individuals can request a complimentary living unit from the Housing Syndicate if they are unable to afford permanent accommodation. In such cases, no payments are required to the Housing Syndicate, as these designated living units are provided directly by the state or Central Federation of Syndicates. However, this provision is applicable only until individuals can independently provide for themselves, covering basic necessities such as a small living unit, food, and utilities.
Proclamation of the People's Republic
On the 5th of May 2024, at 17:20, the People's Republic of Larwan was officially proclaimed, marking a decisive departure from the practices of the previous government. This proclamation signified the formal adoption of the demonym "Larvani people" in place of "Slavs," alongside the discontinuation of Ukrainian as a recognized language. Additionally, measures were implemented to introduce a temporary virtual currency and to formulate governmental initiatives aimed at drafting a constitution and a legal framework for the nation's future.
Reform of the Ministries
As a result of the Great Cultural Revolution and the adoption of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism with distinct features, the traditional concept of Ministries lacks relevance within Larwan. Consequently, they are supplanted by a system of Worker's Syndicates. These syndicates operate under the umbrella of a Central Federation of Syndicates, which essentially constitutes the government. Each syndicate functions as a self-contained unit, akin to autonomous cells of workers operating within communes. They adhere to state-provided plans and objectives, collectively working towards their achievement.
Third Government "Inter-governmental Era"
May Coup
Just 5 days following the Proclamation of the People's Republic of Larwan, the NPL (Nationalist Party of Larwan), initiated an armed coup against the People's Republic. Their action stemmed from the perceived failure of the government to fulfill its promises regarding the establishment of a constitution, legal framework, and the adoption of a national currency. This coup marked the onset of an Inter-Governmental era in Larwan, during which the NPL sought to address and rectify the nation's challenges. Subsequently, a decision will be made regarding whether to revert to the Maoist principles or to retain the Enpeel government or elect an alternative leadership.
Three Principles of the People
- Nationalism
- Workers' rights
- Constitutional Revolution
Within the three principles of the people, nationalism, workers' rights (socialism), and constitutional revolution are integral components. Nationalism is evident, intertwined with socialism, creating a form of Socialist nationalism. However, this socialism would not adhere strictly to the hard-left ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Instead, it would draw certain elements from these ideologies while retaining its distinct identity. The Constitutional Revolution, akin to a Cultural Revolution, is centered on transforming the government rather than merely installing new leadership. It aims to instigate systemic changes, reforming the structure and function of governance to better serve the interests of the people.
Parliamentary reform
After the succession of two governments, Larwan finally established a parliament comprising 20 official seats, marking a pivotal step towards the creation of a democratic nation. However, this reform did not come without its drawbacks. A military government was instituted, elevating Filip K. to the rank of Generalissimo and Chairman of the Nationalist Party of Larwan. Subsequently, the parliament swiftly renamed the nation as the Republic of Larwan.
Fourth Government
National Rebirth
The National Rebirth, also referred to as the National Revolution for Socialism, has established itself as the sole legitimate government of Larwan, officially renaming the nation to "Larvanská Republika Rád" or the Larwani Republic of Councils. This National Revolution not only introduced a new name but also ushered in the Larvaniy Mark, a currency not tied to gold or silver, but rather to something tangible and valuable—labour. In this system, labourers are compensated based on the amount of work they contribute to the state, with a fixed rate of 12 Marks per hour of work. Additionally, this revolution has initiated a comprehensive overhaul of the governmental and party systems, ensuring that the new structure aligns with the principles of the National Revolution. This reform aims to create a more equitable and efficient governance model, rooted in the contributions and needs of the working populace.
The fall
The fall of yet another chain of Larvani governments and republics occurred on May 13, 7532 (Byzantine Calendar; May 26, 2024). This event marked a new beginning for the Petrovlastiansk Orthodox Community. The new name adopted was the Orthodox State of Saint Peter in Petrovlastiansk. This change aimed to spiritually cleanse and distinguish the Old from the New, separating the Secular and Islamic influences from the Orthodox 'Monastic' State.
