History

On 1 August 2022, King Lito I of Teweria held a referendum regarding the government of Teweria. Out of the twelve people eligible to vote, five people voted for a Republic and four for a Kingdom, which means that the result was narrowly decided. On 3 August 2022, King Lito I abdicated the throne and proclaimed the newly-founded First Tewerian Republic. Vitold Chaban, who was the Chancellor of the Kingdom up to that point, was immediately appointed as Acting President of the Tewerian Republic.

Politics

Government

The Republic of Teweria is a semi-presidential republic. Vitold Chaban is serving as President of the Republic, while Ilya Lipsky was elected acting Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

On 23 August, it was proclaimed that the Republic was going to held its first ever elections. The registrations to the Constituent Assembly of Teweria were announced by the acting president. The registration process was initiated five days later, on 28 August. Two days later, the three candidates were made available to the voters:

• Lito Nedelin, former King of Teweria
• Ilya Lipsky, an independent candidate
• Tangaz Kelsor, leader of the Libertarian Party of Teweria

The turnout was 8/12 eligible voters (66,6%). Lito and Ilya received 3 votes each, while Tangaz only managed to gather 2 votes and was eliminated. The second round took place on 3 September 2022. This time, Lito received only 1 vote and his adversary gathered again 3 votes, which meant that Ilya Lipsky was elected acting Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

On 28 October, double elections were proclaimed. The Candidates for the State Assembly of the Teverian Republic were:

• Andrew-Ludwig Hubert, of the Monarchist-Democratic Party of Teweria
• Dmitry Alexeevich Chodźko, of Unity
• Tangaz Kelsor, of the Libertarian Party of Teweria
• Strahinja Novaković, of the Liberal Party of Anslavia in Teweria

While the presidential candidates were:

• Strahinja Novaković (LPAT)
• Vitold Chaban (NWP - KWΘK)
• Danilo Hrisanov (independent, backed by the Libertarian Party of Teweria)

The elections ended on 30 October and a 2nd round was proclaimed for the presidential candidates on 4 November. Vitold Chaban was elected with 53,8% against Strahinja Novaković, who received 46,2% of the votes. Vitold Chaban was sworn in on 11 November 2022. Ilya Lipsky was re-elected as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, only now officially.

The State Assembly of Teweria was dissolved on 25 February 2023 by presidential decree, following a long period of inactivity. It was immediately replaced by the Council of the Republic.

Administrative divisions

Until 27 February 2023, Teweria's administrative divisions were called "županje" (жупање, singular: жупања, županja). The micronation was subdivided into six županje:

Županje of Teweria

Flag	Arms	Županja	Seat	Population	Župan
		Awramica New Teverian: Аврамица	TBD	TBD	TBD
		Ilberija New Teverian: Илберија	TBD	TBD	TBD

		Prunj New Teverian: Пруњ	TBD	TBD	TBD
		Romulijana New Teverian: Ромулијана	TBD	TBD	TBD
		Wlaška Banja New Teverian: Влашка Бања	TBD	TBD	TBD

Following the decision of the Council of the Republic, the administrative structure of the micronation was redesigned, with the replacement of županje by katunje (катуње, singular: катуња, katunja). Furthermore, a few mergers and territorial changes were approved. Last but not least, the head of each katunja was initially named "Didowič" (Дидович, plural: Дидовичи, Didowiči), but later officially changed to "Diduć" (Дидућ, plural: Дидући, Didući).

As of 27 February 2023, the micronation is subdivided into four katunje:
