The State of Lasetia, commonly known as Lasetia, and formerly known as the State of Lasetania and Lasetania, is a self-proclaimed sovereign state, more commonly referred to as a Micronation by external observers. Located in middle of Germany and Slovakia it is landlocked almost completely within Bielefeld ,Germany and Trenćin, Slovakia. Lasetia is a federal republic with Maximilian IB. as the head of the state or the President. It was founded 10 March 2023 by the democratic elected president, and 20 people officially live in Lasetia.The capital of Lasetia is Königshalbtern. The Legislature of Lasetia is the National Council or the President. The Executive is the Lasetian National Army and Judikative is the Lasetian National Council. Lasetia is divided into four Districts and two Territories from which are five located in Germany. Every subdivision is represented by a Gouverneur or a Gouvernerate, and those meet in the Council of Gouverneurs discussing the status of the Districts. The main income of the state are taxes, which are paid voluntarily and ticket sales from the Lasetische Verkehrs Verband (Lasetian Traffic Alliance) for delivery and transportation. Lasetia´s public transport consist of 10 commuter connections and 8 long-distance connections.
The history of the region now constituting the State of Lasetia dates back to its inclusion in the city of Bielefeld and later in the principality of Ravensberg during the Middle Ages. Ravensberg, though independent, was part of the Holy Roman Empire and later became part of Prussia in the 18th century until the end of World War II. From 1843 to 1972, Lasetia was administratively linked to Amt Dornberg, and in 1973, Dornberg was incorporated into the City of Bielefeld.
The modern era of Lasetia began in 2023 when Max IB., developed an interest in Micronations. On March 11, 2023, he declared independence, initiating the expansion of territory and the establishment of the state structure. The first government was elected on the same day and, despite low political activity, successfully completed its term without resignations. The Lasetian Administrative Territory was established on March 14 under the New Rubix Republic but declared independence on March 15 due to dissatisfaction.
The democratic, political landscape is characterized by the dominant Central Reformer Party of Lasetia (CRPL) due to the small population. The second government was elected on August 11, 2023, with CRPL winning 80% of the votes. Maximilian IB. serves as the head of state with 100% of the votes. The legislative body comprises the National Council and the President, with the President having the authority to dissolve the National Council in a state of emergency. New citizens can join only through invitation by the President or the Ministry of Immigration and Colonization.

The full name is officially the State of Lasetia or the Free State of Lasetia which is rarely used. The name is originated from the Swedish word lasta which means load up so in combination it means The load up State which refers to an active and strong nation which is able to defend itself. So Lasetia´s foundation started already with Militarism which is shaped until today.
The Lasetian Flag
The colors on the Lasetian flag have a meaning. Blue stands for the sky and for prosperity, yellow for the wheat fields located next to their home and progress. Black stands for elegance and dominance of the government. The yellow hand in the white circle stand for the democracy and the power of the state.

History
Germany 1949-2023
Lasetian Adminstritave Territory 2023
State of Lasetia 2023–present
Most of the time in history the State of Lasetia was included in the city of Bielefeld and in the middle ages in the principality of Ravensberg. In the Middle Ages the principality of Ravensberg was independent but included in the Holy Roman Empire. It became a part of Prussia in the 1700s and stayed until the end of Wold War 2. But it was included in Dornbergfrom 1843-1972. In 1973 Dornberg was incorporated into the City of Bielefeld.
The Founding Era (2023)
The Founding Era of Lasetia began at the beginning of 2023, where the founder Maximilian IB. became interested into the topic of Micronations. At First he informed himself how to establish an own country and 11 March 2023 he declared independence. The First Era of the Country is shaped by the expansion of the territory, the construction of the state and the development of national identity.
First Lasetian Government
The first Lasetian Government was elected 11 March 2023. The top-candidate and founder of the State of Lasetia Maximilian IB. won the election for his party CRPL. Because only 3 people are political active, Maximilian IB. occupies 4 Ministerial post and the office of the President. Alexander IB. actually holds only the Ministerial Post of Interior Affairs, Health and Community. This is due to low political activeness. Victoria IK. became a citizen 14 March 2023, and she is political very active and committed. She has the post of the Ministry of Social and Families. The CRPL is the only party having seats in the National Council, because there is only one party. The National Council is not fully established and organized due to low activeness and population. But actual are 3 Seats of the National Council of Lasetia manned. The First lasetian Government could survive the whole term without any minister retreating.
Declaration of Independence from Germany
11 March 2023 20:30 MET Maximilian IB. founded the State of Lasetia. He declared the Independence from Germany and hometown Bielefeld. At the beginning of the State 3 people lived there. There was first no Territory which was claimed, but it evolved over time. There is no conflict, because Lasetia is more an autonomous Region than an independent Country. This is mainly because Lasetia is heavily Dependent of Imports from Germany, and Germany armed forces could easily destroy The State of Lasetia. So the new formed Government of Lasetia follows the rule to be peaceful and be as autonomous and independent as possible without starting a conflict.
The Lasetian Adminstritave Territory
14 March Maximilian IB. declared at 14:00 MET the Subjection of first Lasetian State. Maximilian IB. said in an Interview that Lasetia is from now on included into the New Rubix Republic and Form the Lasetian Administrative Territory (LAT). The Population of Lasetia was in shock and outraged. The now Gouverneur of the Lasetian Administrative Territory, Maximilian IB. had even the Rubix-PassPort. The Lasetian Administrative Territory has a little grade of autonomy, but was dependent from NNR. The Happinessscore in Lasetia was practically down and there were rumours about Maximilian IB. declaring Independence or even the creation of a new political party, against the "Occupier" or even start a revolution. At 14 March the Population increased to 5 people, which means 1 Person(Victoria IK.) joined the Federation and is politically very engaged.
15 March The Gouverner of the Lasetian Administrative Territory declared the independence from the New Rubix Republic. This was due the unhappines of the population living in Lasetia. There was no conflict and the President call out that peace and partnership are important. So in this case he asked if the NRR wants to maintain good Relations with New Rubix Republic.
Court cases
Case 23001 triggered a political earthquake in October following the Hamas attacks on Israel.For context: The long-distance citizen and member of the left wing Lasetian Red Star Hunt P. had openly shown his support for the Hamas and thus approved the brutal attacks. The case started after a diplomat had reported a screenshot of Hunt P. posting a picture of Palestine flag and then writing hamas with many hearts. The legal situation is that §5 foreign laws says “Supporting and condoning the terrorist organization is strictly prohibited and is considered tantamount to national treason and can result in revocation of citizenship. In the respective countries where citizens of Lasetien are allowed to stay, they are not allowed to support the condemned organization.”
In the case Hunt P. did not want to defend himself. After that court case, another member of LRS left Lasetia. A.H Marhaen had been discontent with this situation, and left Lasetia and quitted his leadership of LRS and the Ministry of Foreign Relations (Lasetia).His Positions were then transfered to Jan K. LRS had lost 75 percent of its supporters after this court case.
Case 23002 was not so controversial as 2301 but the only member and leader of the LRS had been convicted after he had been proven to have spread false information against Lasetia and therefore acted unconstitutionally. For that he was sentenced to a public ban on politics for 1 week.
Following this conviction, Jan K. tried to revise the Verdict, but failed. He later, with great support by the Party secretary, conducted an 7 pages long paper, suing the State of Lasetia and the judges of Case 23002 and 23002a. This paper was then debated in Case 23004, but ultimately failed to get through and the Case was closed with an acquittal for the Defendant. With that trial, the case was ultimately closed due to §10 3. 1 BGB.
Furtehrmore, there has been an Trial in case 23003, convicting Leonard K. for usage of symbols of the so called "Reichsbürger", which is forbidden in the State of Lasetia (§XXV 1 Constitution).
Incorporation of Uhoriaszag
After talks about founding the Slovak Micronational Alliance, the President of Lasetia and the General Secretary Nina I of Uhoriaszág, Uhoriaszág was incorporated as an autonomous District in Lasetia. This event happened 7 December 2023 and marks an important progress to Lasetias connection to Slovakia. The Goveneur of the District of Slovakian Territories, had reacted positively. In the early hours of December 7, 2023, the state of Uhoriaszág merged with Lasetia, forming an Autonomous Republic and thereby strengthening the connection between the two regions. This merger led to the adoption of the German language as the official language and the Lasetian Mark as the common currency.
The founding of the ZVP was accompanied by a series of political events, including its unofficial creation on December 12, 2023 and its official founding the following day. This was marked by the raising of the official tricolor and a referendum with unanimous approval for Uhoriaszág's independence.

Second Lasetian Goverment
The Second Lasetian Goverment was elected 11 August 2023. Technically the Election should been held at 11 September but it was changed to 11 August because of the day of mourning in the USA caused by the Terroristic Attack and not to disrespect the victims of 9/11. The Central Reformer Party of Lasetia won the election with 80% of all votes, while the Leftist Liberal Lasetia Party gained 20% of all votes. The Cabinet is not purely out of CRPL, for example the Minister of Climate and Nature A.M. Marhaen is from the socialist party Lasetian Red Star and there are even talks about him becoming the Foreign Minister. The mentality the CRPL has is not to split the country but to communicate and find compromises to actually help the nation. In a Survey conducted 17 September 2023 by the LasetienTimes about 53% would vote the CRPL, 20% the LLL, 20% LRS and 7% the right-wing NLAP.

Central
The CRPL is the Central Reformer Party of Lasetia. The Party is militaristic and in their political party programm it is the goal to expand their territory at all costs. At all costs is over the top, but it is a huge goal. Unlike other conversative parties on the globe, they want more people, and dont care if there from another country or are a different ethnic group or religion. The religious Freedom should be secured, but Christianity should be spread. The Central Reformer Party now rules the second term over Lasetia and is on a all time high
Leftist Liberals
The Leftist Liberal Lasetia Party is a Green and Anti Militaristic party which is advocating for Pacifism especially for Lasetia being neutral in Russo-Ukrainian War, which was heavily critised by the Government. The Party has almost no relevancy in politics, in the Second General Elections in Lasetia the party had got 20% of all votes but in actual surveys just has around 7-14%. When the Ministry of Traffic published the social Lase ticket for public transport in Lasetia which is sold for a fee based on the Germany ticket, the LLL criticized that the ticket was too expensive.
Lasetia Red Star
Lasetia Red Star is a party founded 17 August 2023 by A.H Marhaen. In the peak of its popularity in September 2023 the party could reach from 15-40% of all votes in Surveys. The Party is strictly anti-capitalist, pro-communist, socialist and anti fascist and had advocated for its Principes. After the Court Case 2301, one of the leading person of the LRS had their citizenship revoked. After that A.H Marhaen decided to leave the party and nominated Jan K to be his successor. He spread misinformation harming §13 of the Consitution, so after Court Case 2302 he was sentenced to "Exclusion from politics" for one week. He tried to oppose the convictions, but got nothing out of it. After the strong rise in members of the Lasetian server, the Party saw a rise in Numbers, but was still only able to acieve around 20-25%.

Military
Lasetia, a micronation, has a small but dedicated military force called the Laseti National Army. This force is the backbone of Laseti defenses and is made up of a well-trained group of volunteer soldiers. The Lasetian National Army was created to ensure the security and sovereignty of the nation. Although Lasetia is small, the army has a clear structure and hierarchical organization. At the head of the force is the Commander-in-Chief, who has overall responsibility for the troops. Under him there are experienced officers who lead various departments, including infantry, artillery, logistics and communications.
Despite Lasetia's limited resources, the national army is well equipped and trained. Soldiers regularly participate in drills and maneuvers to hone their skills and be prepared for potential threats. Although they lack the technological advances of a great power, the soldiers compensate with their determination and loyalty to Lasetia. The main tasks of the Lasetian National Army are the defense of the national territory, the support of humanitarian operations and the preservation of peace in the region. The soldiers take pride in protecting their fatherland and contributing to stability, even though the greatness of their nation is often ridiculed. Despite its small size, the Lasetian National Army symbolizes the spirit of defense and cohesion. She represents the ideals of Lasetia and shows that even small nations can maintain their sovereignty and protect their citizens.
Given the challenges Lasetia faces, the National Army plays a crucial role in securing the future of the imaginary nation. Her soldiers embody the bravery and dedication of her homeland and are willing to give their lives to defend their nation.
The mentality of the Ministry of Defense,War and Propaganda is: a war or conflict would mean that diplomacy failed and its just a waste of energy and ressources to start a war against another Micronation. But not every other has this mentality. So the Minister of Defense, Maximilian IB. also President wanting his Nation to be able to defend itself. The expenses for the Lasetian National Army is makes around 18%
Structure
The Head of the LNA or Lasetian National Army is the Minister of Defense, War and Propaganda . His task is to structure the Army and develop it, but he is not responsible for foreign relations and cannot declare a war, because this is the function of the President. The Minister of Defense, War and Propaganda is responsible that the Lasetian National Army is well equipped and he should provide for a good equipment for the Recruits. The Lasetian National Army is structured in 6 Battalions. Each Battalion has a special Task.3 of the 7 Battalions are not trained to fight in a conventional Fight but help the army in the conflict, for example the Lasetian Military Medicine Battalion is taking care of wounded soldiers. Every Battalion has a task, and the Generals can decide free what to do in an armed Conflict because the tactics of War are rapidly changing and the Lasetian National Army wants to be as strong and functioning as possible. There are some Battalions:
Infantery Battalion : Normal Soldiers, Foot Soldiers
Cavallery Battalion : Soldiers equipped with Bikes, better for fighting
Air Force : Protecting the airspace of Lasetia
Spy Battalion : Is responsible for gaining information from the enemy or bordering countrys
Lasetian Border Patrol : Is Responsible for Securing the Border of Lasetia, not to heavily armed
Cyber Battalion: Isn´t for Cyber attacks or bullying, its more a peace keeping Troop, who is advertising Lasetia and keeping its reputation
Military Medicine Battalion : Is taking care of wounded Soldiers and checks the Health of the Soldiers
Equipment
The Lasetian National Army is not well equipped as an army from any Country in the UN, but it can defend itself in an Emergency. For defending Lasetia has a dog, Bolt Cutter, Wooden Sticks, Hammer, Saw, Pocket Knifes. The Border Patrol Battalion is for example equipped with an Bike Helmet, a Balaclava, Flashlight and a Rubber Mallet.
The LNA has declared a person to be the general commissioner who is responsible for ensuring that weapons and armaments production is greatly boosted. This general commissioner officially established an own Lasetian production of weapons.
Foreign relations
Lasetia recognize every other Micronation, that is recognizing it back and doesn´t have a territorial claim on Lasetia´s Territory (What should be impossible if the Territorial Claim is not a joke). The Free State also recognizes every Country of the UN and hopes for Recognition from them back. If another Micronation is threatening Lasetia, Lasetia will react immediately and if diplomatic relations completely fall, there will be Consequenzes. But Lasetia is peaceful and the foreign minister´s duty is to save the diplomatic relations. As already mentioned Lasetia won´t threaten any country only in an Emergency Case, where the Security of the People and State is in Danger such things as a Military Occupation or war happends. But it is a very important law that Lasetia is not aggressive or having territorial claims of territory from other Micronations.

The State of Lasetia is an active member of the Commonwealth of Independent Nations and counts as a Cabinet Member and core state of the alliance having a impact on the organisation. The National Council of Lasetia ratified the declaration of membership 15 March 2023. The Ministry of Foreign Relations describes Lasetia in the CIN as a member of a community of free, independent, and equal states, united in common interest for the purposes of brotherhood, intercourse, and mutual aid and will respect the opinions of other member states and help them in need. Generally every party supports the membership in the alliance and after a Survey conducted, 100% of all asked people supported the alliance. The President of Lasetia describes the Enclave Empire as one of the most important allies in the alliance. The Enclave Empire is the first and only nation to have signed an Act of Partnership Agreement and the third nation to sign a Treaty of mutual recognition for Lasetia. Lasetia had also talks with the President of New Tejas to buy a tank until 2027 and having an trade association. How realistic this is, is questionable but is a goal for the CRPL to do.
Lasetia was for a month member of the CMTO, a more conservative alliance lead by Usmaanistan. It was one of the short living membership lasetia had. There was even a symbolic currency but Lasetia left the alliance because of the irrelevance and to focus to the main things.
One of the biggest goals of the actual Foreign minister is to establish a german-micronational alliance uniting many german micronations under one alliance to keep exchange between the states, even having meetings or summits. This German-Micronational Alliance is a concept and is not established because of the low diplomacy Lasetias with other german states. There were talks with the Bavarian Democratic Republic and some other micronation but the realisation progress didnt happend so the German-Micronational Alliance is just a concept for now. Lasetia is still interested, so if german speaking micronations show interest, please contact lasetiagov@gmail.com .
