The Kingdom of Tuceria (/tukeɪriːɑː/), more commonly known as Tuceria, is a micronation in The Netherlands, more specifically in the region Twente. The nation was started by Mats I, the king and president at this moment, on 23 December 2022. It started as a republic on TikTok, the United tiktok states of Tuceria, and later it became a republic on 23 February 2023 and a kingdom on 25 February 2023. Tuceria has five subdivisions, all of which have a town hall. The nation was founded on TikTok, but has created an offline presence too.
The nation has only one political party so far, however new citizens are typically invited to start new ones. The government consists of a state general, which is divided into two parts, the Senate and House of Representatives.
The nation is young and trying to find a coalition. It has only one nation recognizing it, the friendly nation of Glanebrug.

Law and order
As The Netherlands doesnt recognize Tuceria, like most of the important things of countries, the law and order are organized by The Netherlands. The Dutch police and Judges rule in Tuceria, so most of the Tucerian laws cant be executed yet. But, Tuceria still has an Constitution and laws. When Tuceria gets more members, it is planned that it will get its own police and judges, maybe even its own internet TLD.
Military
Tuceria has not raised an army yet. The only border is with The Netherlands, which recognizes Tucerian land as their own, so theyll defend it. Tuceria has plans to recruit some soldiers when they have more members.
Ministries
Because the lag of members, Tuceria has only one ministry yet, but there are plans for more.
