The Republic of Lunia (French: la République de Lunia, Esperanto: la Respubliko de Lunia), commonly known as simply Lunia, is a very small micronation located within Pennsylvania in the United States. It was founded on March 18, 2018 by President Stellara Prais Duobla.
Etymology
Formed from the French word "lune" (moon) with the Latin suffix "-ia".
History
Lunia was formed in March 2018 from a small 8x10' bedroom in Pennsylvania. Its founder Stellara Prais Duobla became the president by default. She drew her inspiration from large and successful (in comparison) micronations such as Sealand. Treasury Secretary Ofelio Ĝaksen and Prime Minister Dezirinda Viver were elected shortly after.
Government and politics
The Republic of Lunia is a federal presidential republic. The President handles national affairs and appoints members of the Cabinet, while the Prime Minister handles states' affairs and elections. Each state appoints three representatives, known as the State Triumvirate, to vote bills approved by the President into law.
The offices of Secretary of Security and Foreign Affairs, Secretary of Legal Affairs, Secretary of Citizens, Secretary of Economy, Secretary of Infrastructure and Development, and Secretary of Education remain yet unfilled. In addition, Terre de l'Ouest, the only state, has no current Triumvirate.

Lunian Thanksgiving coincides with American Thanksgiving and celebrates family, friendship, and prosperity throughout the year.
Christmas is a very large holiday in Lunia; Lunians of all religious backgrounds come together to decorate, sing carols, eat, and exchange gifts. Arcenciel is known to be lavishly decorated with lights, tinsel, and other decor each year after Thanksgiving.
