The Republic of Ultratainia, more commonly known as Ultratainia, is a micronation in Taiwan. The Republic of Ultratainia is a Sovereignty Without Borders (無疆界主權國家), with several actual territories in the real world, all of which are located in Taiwan. Politics is divided into three branches of government: executive, defense, and legislative, with the judiciary independent of the three branches. The founders of the country were two high school students from Taiwan. The founding of Ultratainia was not only a challenge to the reality of life, but also a way to prove to the world that the founders of a nation do not distinguish between nationality, age, and occupation.
The Ultratainia's leaders are now actively building diplomatic ties with micronation outside of East Asia, hoping to use them to promote Taiwanese culture around the world.
Name
Ultratainia is a new term we have created, consisting of the initials Ultra + Tai (which means Taiwan) + the place name suffix Nia. We hope to become a "progressive Taiwan" by creating and researching the most suitable political system for Taiwan through our national movement.
History
In 2013, Qiu Youzhen, the founder, created Chaoyun Empire in an online game, but at that time, Qiu had not yet been exposed to the concept of Micronations. It was not until 2016, when he and his friends founded Ultratainia, that micro-states began to take shape.
After 2018, Qiu started to actively promote the culture of Micronations and began to plan the launch of physical banknotes, passports, stamps, etc. This is the first time that a Taiwanese person has actively made Micronations physical.
Starting in 2020, Ultratainia is actively building diplomatic relations with micronations outside of Taiwan and plans to establish the East Asia Micronation Treaty Organization (EAMTO), the first regional treaty organization led by Taiwan, which is expected to be announced in 2022.
Politics and government
Ultratainia was founded on a republican declaration, and the government is divided into four branches: executive, legislative, national defense, and judicial.
National Governor's Office
In the Republican Declaration (Constitution), it is not specified who the head of state is, but Qiu Youzhen appointed himself as the National Governor from the founding of the country. The National Governor symbolizes the Republic of Ultratainia, and according to the constitutional convention, although the Prime Minister is elected by the citizens of the country, the person who actually appoints the Prime Minister is still the National Governor.
The National Governor usually holds the position of Foreign Minister, which facilitates the National Governor's diplomatic work and visits.
Prime Minister's Office
The executive branch is the Prime Minister's Office, headed by the Prime Minister, and subordinated by the Cabinet Ministries of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Culture, Education, and Currency.
Republican Assembly
The legislative branch is the Republican Assembly, which is composed of three chambers: the House of Representatives, the House of Nationalities, and the House of Freedom. The House of Freedom is the Senate, and the House of Representatives and the House of Nationalities are the House of Representatives.
The defense department is the National Defense Council, which has jurisdiction over the general military forces of the country and is the backbone of Ultratainia's military. Although Ultratainia is opposed to war, it still maintains a military force for self-defense in the country.
Law and order
The judicial branch is the Republican Court, which is independent of the executive, legislative, and defense branches.
Military
The defense department is the National Defense Council, which has jurisdiction over the general military forces of the country and is the backbone of Ultratainia's military. Although Ultratainia is opposed to war, it still maintains a military force for self-defense in the country.
Foreign relations
Under the terms of the Republican Declaration, the Republic of Ultratainia is a permanently neutral state, but this does not affect the active establishment of diplomatic relations with other countries. It recognizes all UN member states and all diplomatic relations.
