History
Dale Woking
The Kingdom of the Dale Empire was the first MicroWiki Woking micronation being founded May 22, 2011. The micronation claimed territory mainly in Woking borough before it was replaced by the Dale Republic on September 22, 2012 as the Dale Transitional Council before its first election ended on October 26, 2012 with D Sherman declared the 1st President of the Dale Republic. The Dale Republic suffered a largely unstable political system with much public discomfort with how little or even how much power the president apparently had. The Dale Republic fell into inactivity as a result of continued political instability.
Knaphill independence
After a largely failed attempt at returning activity to the Dale Republic, D Sherman declared the Grand Empire of Knaphill as an independent micronation, this was excepted by the Dale Republic upon its declaration on October 24, 2012. However, it was very short lived after the Dale Republic collapsed on October 26, 2012 and the Grand Empire of Knaphill unified Woking borough under a new micronation, the Surrey Democratic Republic.
Socialist reunification
The Surrey Democratic Republic replaced the reunified Woking borough micronations after they were two separate micronations for 5 days because People's President, D Sherman founded the Grand Empire of Knaphill as he wanted to become an active part in the MicroWiki community again which he didn't feel he was getting as a part of the Dale Republic.
Government and Politics
The Surrey Democratic Republic is a Socialist state who's head of state is the People's President, currently D Sherman, also leader of the Surrey People's Socialist Party. The Surrey Democratic Republic's national legislature is the Surrey National People's Council which is solely manned by the Surrey People's Socialist party.
Surrey National People's Council
The Surrey National People's Council (SNPC) is the national legislature of the Surrey Democratic Republic and is only held by the Surrey Democratic Republic's only political party, the Surrey People's Socialist Party (SPSP). Seats are only available to members of the SPSP who request seats and are granted them by the People's President of the Surrey Democratic Republic.
