The Stravonskan Soviet Republic was founded as the Mighty Republic of Yuroslavia by Chairman Samuel Hussey on 30 November 2019, but did not gain official independence until two days later on 2 December 2019, when the official Declaration of Independence was signed by the chairman, and the first, official flag of the country was flown in the Capital. On 20 December 2019, Yuroslavia was renamed to Stravonska because of confusion between Yuroslavia and the former Yugoslavia.

Stravonska was a high-ranking member of the European League of Micronations from 2021 to 2023, and the leading/founding state of the MCSL (Micronational Communist Socialist League), which has 22 member states and 3 observer states.

In February 2024, Stravonska and the Reformed People's Republic founded the Intercontineal League of Micronations, a successor organization to the European League of Micronations, which currently has 7 member states and 1 observer state, alongside the Eponian Security Organization.

Mainland Stravonska as well as the George's Land SSR and Marlenesburg SSR are located in the West Midlands of England with territory in Northern England, Newfoundland Canada, and Slovenia. The Mainland is roughly 60 meters squared in size with the capital city Stravinsky, laying in the Northern Mainland inside the Wilmington, Yuroslavian, Woolacombe and Bluetopian SSRs.

Stravonska is made up of fourteen separate Stravonskan Soviet Republics:

  • Wilmington SSR - 29 June 2020
  • Yuroslavian SSR - 29 June 2020
  • Woolacombe SSR - 29 June 2020
  • Bluetopian SSR - 29 June 2020
  • Eldstein SSR - 24 September 2020
  • George's Land SSR - 10 March 2021
  • Marlenesburg SSR - 25 September 2021
  • Novyystok SSR - 2 January 2022
  • Podarok SSR - 18 January 2022
  • Kanastlaburg SSR - 18 January 2022
  • Slovensk SSR - 20 January 2022
  • Dawidsłow SSR - 28 June 2022
  • Vogelsburg SSR - 3 July 2022
  • Kamčevo SSR - 4 July 2022

The SSR System was introduced in 2020 following the War with Bluetopia after Stravonska had acquired so much new territory, that it could not all be managed by the Central Assembly alone.

Having so much Land has allowed Stravonska to grow with over 50 citizens across these republics.

Stravonska sees itself as a real, independent and sovereign nation, and has been for 4 years. This means that we exercise full jurisdiction over our claimed lands. Stravonska is open to all Micronations who wish to pursue friendly relations.

Culture

Stravonskan Culture has always been influenced by pre-existing cultures around the globe. At first Stravonskan Culture was heavily influenced by Russian and Slavic Culture, although over time the Chairman decided that Stravonska should not have a Slavic inspired culture due to it not being a Slavic country, so between 2022 and 2023 Stravonska was slowly "De-Russified" and began to adopt more Germanic influences due to Stravonska being a Germanic Nation. This led to the Secondary language of Stravonska being changed from Russian to German, Stravonskan Settlements being renamed and it's overall culture changing.

On Easter Day (April 9) 2023, Stravonska adopted Protestant Christianity of the Anglican Communion as it's first main and official religion. This heavily impacted the culture of Stravonska to be a lot more God-Fearing and loyal to the values of Christianity.

On July 9, 2023, Dutch, Polish, Slovenian and Serbian where also adopted as official languages of Stravonska due to the nation holding territories in those nations.

Economy

Stravonska's economy, though heavily dependent on the United Kingdom, is quite large. The Stravonskan economy is backed up by British Currency, this is called the "Sterling Standard" as was chosen to back our economy due to it having the same value as Stravonskan Currency. Stravonska's total economy is estimated at 10,000 GBP, making it a relatively wealthy micronation when compared to others. The official currency used within Stravonska is the Stravonskan Stravo and Stravonskan Penny, although pennies or coins have not been physically produced just yet. On the rare occasion British currency may be accepted within the nation however it is preferred that Stravonskan banknotes are used instead. George's Land and Marlenesburg are the two main economic hubs of Stravonska, generating goods such as freshly grown crops and mechanical goods that are sold to parties within the United Kingdom. There is no taxation in Stravonska and all money that comes into, stays within and goes out of the nation, is managed by the Bank of Stravonska. The current economic structure of Stravonska was adopted on September 15, 2023, as a part of the Economic Reforms of 2023.

All Banknotes and future Coins where designed by the chairman himself.


The Stravo banknotes may appear dull, simple and repetitive, however this was done on purpose to ensure that our currency can easily be printed on mass.

1, 5, 10 and 50 Stravonskan Penny coins are currently awaiting production.


National Anthem Lyrics

The People's Song, National Anthem of the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, 2021–Present:

“Raise up the flag of our nation, As the morning sun rises! It’s beams light up our fatherland, Another day has begun!

The people flock to their work, Ready to fulfil their duty! At every field and every factory, The people’s song can be heard!

Through times of struggle and suffering, Arose the spirit of Labour! The firm will of the people, Went forth to conquer the foe!

Long live our Soviet Fatherland, A state for the working class! To communism’s triumphs, Wherever they may lead us!

The people flock to their work, Ready to fulfil their duty! At every field and every factory, The people’s song can be heard!”.

The lyrics of the “People’s Song” where written by the chairman himself and adopted officially in 2022, when previously the anthem had been purely instrumental since 2021. (Note: The Anthem sound linked at the top of our page is the short version of our anthem, the full version can be found on the Stravonskan Soviet Republic YouTube Channel).

Satellite States

Since 2021, Stravonska has created a number of Satellite States located across the world. Different Satellite States are ranked differently depending on their background and usefulness to Stravonska.

Client States are nations that are not directly controlled by Stravonska or it's government but are however their own government is under heavy political influence by Stravonska. The only Stravonskan Client State is the Straspol Socialist People's Republic. A micronation located in Cradley Heath, England.

Satellite States enjoy limited autonomy but are not fully independent like Client States. They are somewhat looked upon as colonies and are under direct control of the Central Assembly and cannot leave the Stravonskan Sphere of influence. The current Satellite States are the People's Republic of Alberia, and the Chernovac Socialist Republic.

Puppet States have extremely low autonomy, and the autonomy they do have is mainly symbolic with no real meaning or benefits. Like the Satellite States, the Puppet States of Stravonska are under the direct control of the Central Assembly and have no government of their own. The Ebysinnian Socialist Republic was founded on April 22, 2022, following the total defeat of the Empire of Ebysinnia and it's failed invasion of Stravonska in the spring of 2022. The Eponian People's Republic is Stravonska's second Puppet State which was founded on October 9, 2023 following the Eighth Eponian-Pochehovan War.

War with Bluetopia, 24 January – 26 June 2020

Operation Hornigold, 26 February 2022

Occupation of the South, 12 March 2022

Administrative Divisions and Organisations

The Stravonskan Soviet Republic has several Administrative Divisions within the State Government. These Administrations help the Nation to run smoothly and safely.

The Stravonskan Defence Agency (2021–2023):

The now defunct SDA was both the Secret Police and Intelligence Agency of the Stravonskan Soviet Republic. Helping the Nation to stay safe from espionage. Damian Hughes, fifth member of the Central Assembly, lead the SDA from its creation in 2021 until his arrest and exile on the 9th of March 2023. From then the SDA was directly headed and managed by the upper Central Assembly until it's merger with the Border Police and Stravonskan National Police on April 5, 2023. The exact amount of members who operated inside of the SDA is classified.

Seal of the SDA

The Stravonskan Defence Bureau:

The Stravonskan Defence Bureau acts as Stravonska's intelligence agency which operates both inside and outside of Stravonskan Territory, It was established on April 5, 2023, following the merger of the Border Police, SDA and the now defunct Stravonskan National Police.

Three departments make up the SDB including the Border Troops, the Office of Intelligence and the Security Forces. The Border Troops monitor and patrol the Mainland, George's Land and Marlenesburg, to protect the nation from undesirables and prohibited contraband entering the country illegally. The Office of Intelligence is what remains of the former SDA (Stravonskan Defence Agency) following the mass removal of Agents in March and April of 2023. Their job is to collect data on Stravonska's enemies and to prevent foreign espionage on the Stravonskan Nation whilst also sending agents to spy on other nations, they are the men in black suits who may visit you if you are unfortunate enough to end up on their list. And finally the Security Forces who are former members of the Stravonskan National Police, they are the muscle and backbone of the SDB, often getting their hands dirty with enemies in custody or physically guarding state interests.

Stravonskan Labour Front:

The Stravonskan Labour Front is a state owned and operated Worker's Trade Union. The idea for a Stravonskan Trade Union came around when Chairman Hussey visited the Marlenesburg Factory the day before. Since it's creation on February 17, 2022, the Labour Front has proved to be a success in improving Worker's rights, conditions and payroll.

Food Department:

Established on the 2nd of January 2021, The Stravonskan Food Department's job is to make sure all food grown in George's Land get's distributed equally amongst the peoples.

It also helps to prevent citizens from going hungry and errors regarding food shortages like what has been witnessed in other Communist Nations around the Globe.

Logo of the Food Department

Stravonska Radio:

One of, if not the most famous Administration inside Stravonska, is Stravonska Radio. Created in 2020 and hosted by the one and only, Mr Stravonska. The purpose of Stravonska Radio is to provide the people with Music, Entertainment, and Happiness. The idea for Stravonska Radio came about after the chairman listened to a Radio Show from the Republic of Molossia. It was clear in that moment that Stravonska needed its own Radio Station to help boost morale during the COVID-19 Pandemic. All episodes of Stravonska Radio can be found on the Stravonskan Soviet Republic's YouTube Channel!

Stravonskan Broadcasting Service:

The former "Stravonskan News Reel (2019 - 2023)" known as the "Stravonskan Broadcasting Service" from 2023, is the state operated News and Television administration in Stravonska. The Broadcasting Service is known for it's high quality productions, with both citizens and other micronationalists enjoying them all over the world. The main priority of the Broadcasting Service is to bring the people up to date with current Stravonskan affairs and to provide them with entertainment alongside Stravonska Radio. All of the Broadcasting Service's productions can be found on the Stravonskan YouTube Channel.

Stravonskan Postal Service:

The Stravonskan Postal Service is free for Stravonskan citizens to use when sending mail to or from, The Mainland, George's Land, Marlenesburg or Straspol.

The Postal Service has 2 separate stamps which are also free and can be collected from the Government building in Stravinsky.

Letters require only one red stamp whereas parcels or packages require one blue stamp or two red stamps.

Courier Services operate every Wednesday afternoon between the hours of 1 and 3pm.

Territory

Unlike many other Micronations, Stravonska is divided into 14 SSR's (Stravonskan Soviet Republics) scattered around the globe in England, Canada, Slovenia, Poland, Serbia and the Netherlands. Stravonskan Soviet Republics are semi-autonomous provinces inside Stravonska itself. SSR's where first established on June 29, 2020, in order to better micromanage the nation and help things to run smoothly. All SSR's are managed, and answer directly to the Central Assembly in Stravinsky. An SSR cannot leave the Stravonskan Nation legally and cannot adopt laws or policies without the final clearance from the Central Assembly.

The Mainland:

The Mainland is the heart of Stravonska and home to the Capital City, Stravinsky (Formerly Wilmington). The Mainland is around 60 meters squared with a 50 meter long enclave to the South East. This is also where the Yuroslavia, Wilmington, Woolacombe, Bluetopia and Eldstein SSR's are located. The Mainland can be found in the West Midlands of England.

George's Land:

George's Land is an allotment located a mere 5 minutes drive away from the Mainland, measuring at 50 meters squared. George's Land was named after the Chairman's Grandfather who the allotment belongs to. At first, George's Land was a colony officially named “The Dominion of George’s Land”. It was acquired by Stravonska in March 2021 and was the first territory claimed by the nation which was not connected to the mainland. The reason George's Land was claimed was due to it being an agricultural strategic point which could benefit the Stravonskan economy and ability to function independently. The reason it was not annexed directly was due to the Chairman's Grandfather not wanting his land to become foreign, so in turn it only made sense for George's Land to be a colony. However over time it's autonomy was reduced and was annexed by Stravonska on November 10, 2021.

Marlenesburg:

The Marlenesburg SSR (Formerly Marlenegrad) was established on September 25, 2021, as a part of Chairman Hussey's first 6-month plan to improve Stravonska's industry and economy. This made sense as Marlenesburg is an industrial hotspot which manufactures products inside the Marlenesburg Factory. These products are then exported to the United Kingdom, which creates a cash flow into the nation. Marlenesburg more or less is the chairman's grandparent's backyard which contains a small factory and is also home to the city of Marlenesburg, Stravonska's only other city next to Stravinsky. Marlenesburg got it's name from the chairman's grandmother because his Grandfather already had George's Land named after him.

Novyystok:

The Novyystok SSR is a long stretch of land located in the Greater Manchester area of Northern England and was a gift from the President of the Federated Republic of Koncje. It is believed that Novyystok is the largest Stravonskan territory not connected to the Mainland however it has not been confirmed.

Podarok and Kanastlaburg:

Unlike all of the other Stravonskan Territories, Podarok and Kanastlaburg (Formerly Kanastlagrad) are not located within the European Continent. Instead these two territories are located in Newfoundland Canada. They were gifted to Stravonska on 1 January 8, 2022 by the President of another Communist Micronation, Krusstania. Podarok is the smallest of the two provinces, located inside a Forrest next to mainland Krusstania. Kanastlaburg is the largest, located inside a different Forrest not too far from Podarok.

Slovensk:

Following the 2021 Pochehovan De-Recognition of Eponia, the surrounding lands where gifted to ELM member states as a way of saying Thankyou for their support during the Great Eponian War. Stravonska was not directly involved in the war, however we did give aide to Pochehova during the conflict. This resulted in a medium-sized piece of land located in Eastern Slovenia, being gifted to the chairman by Pochehovan President, Valuk, on January 20, 2022.

Dawidsłow:

On June the 28th, 2022, Dawid of the Empire of Truto, gifted Stravonska a piece of the "Mikułow Strip". This event marks several achievements for Stravonska. Firstly it is a big step in Stravonskan-Truto relations as Dawid, the Leader, is publicly Anti-Communist, however he and the chairman see each other as great allies. Secondly it marked Stravonska's return to its prime following the dissolution of the Laverian SSR, which was a micronation in Canada that decided to join Stravonska. And thirdly it marks Stravonska's first territory inside a former Eastern Bloc nation, Poland.

In return, the chairman gifted land to Truto as a sign of mutual respect and friendship.

Dawidsłow is named after the Trutian Leader.

Vogelsburg:

On July 2, 2022, President Youri Koeman, of the Reformed People's Republic, gifted Stravonska a piece of land which resided next to one of their colonies.

The chairman responded in usual fashion by gifting the RPR land outside of Stravonska but within walking distance.

The new Republic was dubbed "Vogelgrad" after the island which the territory lies upon, and as a play on the Russian city of Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad. Following De-Russification, Vogelgrad was renamed to Vogelsburg.

Kamčevo:

Kamčevo is located in Serbia. This land is treasured by Stravonska as it is our second piece of Territory which is located inside of the old Yugoslavia, as well as the Slovensk SSR. It was gifted to Stravonska on July 4, 2022, by the United Republics of Anslavia.

As usual the chairman responded by gifting Anslavia land just outside of Mainland Stravonska. At first, the land was named "Kamchatka" which came from the chairman, who had just started watching the new series of Stranger Things, and liked the name "Kamchatka" which was used as the name of the Soviet Gulag which appeared in the show. However over time the chairman began to dislike the name and renamed the territory to Kamčevo on May the 7th 2023 along with several other SSRs.

Between July 4, 2022 and November 8 2023, Kamčevo was an extremally small strip of land located near the mainland of the United Republics of Anslavia.

On November 9, 2023, a border crisis erupted between Stravonska and the United Republics of Anslavia after they had demanded the territory back, however Chairman Hussey was able to mediate the situation by relocating Kamčevo to a small island on the Great Morava river which at the time was under control of the United Republics of Anslavia.

The Marshal Districts:

Port Nelson and Goosecreek:

On 1 July 2023 the Congressional People's Army moved in to military occupy territory half a mile away from the mainland to use as landing stages for both naval military operations and military operations on the ground. These two territories become the first Marshal Districts of Port Nelson and Goosecreek.

Both of these territories lay side by side with Port Nelson encompassing the River Stour and Bell's Mill Bridge whilst Goosecreek comprises a small canal, dense woodland and a smaller bridge named "Lawton Bridge".

Marshal Districts are not formally apart of the Stravonskan Soviet Republic, and are not considered to be Stravonskan, they are only under military occupation and are required to follow the regulations of Marshal Law.


Eponia (DEFUNCT):

Following the total defeat of the Greater Eponian Empire on July 27, 2023, the nation was internationally occupied by the European League of Micronations. In the weeks following the end of the war, Eponia was gradually divided and split up into 4 different zones of occupation. To the North, the Reformed People's Republic established a Calvinist state, in the East the Pochehovan Socialist Federation created a Market Socialist autonomous republic within their nation accompanied by the Empire of Ravonia who colonised their own piece of Eponia.

Stravonska instead wishes to establish a military zone of occupation under martial law for the time being, and so the Marshal District of Eponia was born out of the ruins of war.

The Marshal District of Eponia lasted from August 5 2023 to October 9 2023 after the establishment of the Eponian People's Republic, a Stravonskan Satellite State.

Government and Ideology

As you can probably tell from its name, Stravonska is a communist nation, more specifically a National Communist nation. During the years from 2019 through to 2023, Stravonska was Stalinist. This was due to the chairman's support of Soviet Leader, Joseph Stalin's [1] Five Year Plans [2] , which turned the USSR [3] from a struggling third world country into a global superpower. Using Stalinism, Chairman Hussey was able to implement his own version of these plans called “The Six Month Plans” in 2021, allowing Stravonska to grow and flourish. Despite it's benefits, the chairman and Stravonskan Central assembly, do not support Stalin's genocide against ethnic groups in the Soviet Union, and the mass killings of innocent people via the gulag system. Once the chairman finished implementing all of his Six Month Plans, finishing with “Communism With A Smile” that lasted from October 15, 2022 - 1 April 5, 2023, the Stravonskan Nation switched to National Communism officially on 1 April 6, 2023.

Communist Party of Stravonska:

Stravonska is a one party state that does not hold elections. The current ruling party is the Communist Party of Stravonska, which assumed power when the country was established in 2019. The positions held in the Stravonskan Government, reflect the positions held in the Party, with Chairman Hussey serving as General Secretary and head spokesman, Deputy Chairman Pugh serving as Deputy, and Assistant Chairman Safe serving as Third in command. Most members of the Stravonskan Central Assembly are members of the CPS, with the exception of George Hussey, head of Industry, Infrastructure and Agriculture.

The Communist Party of Stravonska does have its own Hymn which can be listened to here, [4]

Armed Forces

Motto: “We wage war on the land, in the sky and in the depths of the sea”

Stravonska has a long history of Militarism. From the Creation of the Armed Forces in 2019 and the War with Bluetopia in 2020, all the way up to the present day. The Stravonskan Armed Forces currently has a manpower of 16, serving across all 3 branches. This makes the Armed Forces a flexible entity. A video on the Stravonskan YouTube channel displays the uniforms of the Armed Forces. The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces is Samuel Hussey, with sixth member of the Central Assembly, Luke Tyers, acting as head.

The Congressional People's Army:

Motto: “Through the Battlefield, We go for the Fatherland”

The CPA is Stravonska's most recognisable branch. The main role of the CPA is to protect the Nation's interests both at home and abroad. The CPA's main tasks are peace keeping missions, special operations, patrols and military exercises.

The Congressional People's Army gained it's reputation during the War with Bluetopia when it defeated the Imperial Army at the Battle's of Border Pass and Fort Hilltop.

The army is divided into 2 regiments, the 1st Yuroslavian and 2nd Wilmington. This allows the Army to be more flexible due to one regiment being able to conduct one set of tasks while the other conducts another set of tasks.

Equipment used by the CPA varies, however soldiers are often issued basic army equipment followed by a trench shovel, gas mask and Airsoft Weapons. The basic soldier is issued an Airsoft AK-47 with Officers being issued Airsoft P08 Luger Pistols. Airsoft guns can vary as some soldiers will be issued different firearms on some occasions.

The Congressional People's Navy:

Motto: “Through the Sea, We go for the Fatherland”

Stravonska does is a landlocked nation however we do have our own navy! Being a landlocked nation means that we have to operate in British waters. The Congressional People's Navy is made up of three different vessels.

The first two are Canoes. The SNV (Stravonskan Naval Vessel) Stravonskan Champion, which is a one-man canoe commissioned in 2020. The Champion mostly sails on the Staffordshire-Worcestershire Canal and the River Stour.

The Second, SNV Stravonskan Challenger, is a two-man canoe which was also commissioned in 2020. The Challenger is stored in the town of Arley, West Midlands and mostly sails on the River Severn.
