The United Municipalities of Arkonia, formerly known at the time of independence as the State of Arkonia, and more simply known as Arkonia, is a micronation in the Southern United States. Arkonia was founded in late May 2020, and is one of the more established Arkonian nations, with an active citizen base. The capital and largest city (by both area and population) is Arkonia City, with the other major city being Laman.

The United Municipalities was specially designed to be reminiscent of the United States, with one major difference being that Arkonia is a union of cities, while America is a union of States. In most other purposes, the government is inspired by American ideals of democracy, republicanism, and adherence to the rule of law, among others. The head of state and government is the Chancellor. The legislature was formerly divided into the House of Citizens and the Senate; however, only the latter still exists, as the lower house was disestablished due to multiple reasons, including inactivity and functionality of the government.

Arkonia is a very isolationist micronation, as it has no involvement with any other nations, and it seeks no contact with other nations. The small amount of foreign affairs that still occurs are a few treaties signed with select micronations from past iterations of the Arkonian nations.

Etymology

Arkonia is named after the state in the United States that Arkonia is based in. It has shared it's name with all of the other Arkonian nations, save for a few proposed ideas that never came to fruition.

The "United Municipalities" is the change of name from the original "State" of Arkonia. The name change was meant to model the federal American system of governance.

History

Arkonia was founded on 29 May 2020, with the signing of the Constitution by the first (and at that time, only, citizen). Arkonia has since expanded to 3 citizens since that time, with the addition of another citizen a week after independence, and another the week after that.

A flurry of legislation has been signed and created since creation, on both the local and national level, and in all branches of government except the judicial branch. This has kept relatively sustained activity over the month since independence.

Arkonia was originally a "state", however, it changed to the "united municipalities" form of government, to provide an impetus for democratization.

Politics and government

Executive

The Chancellor is the supreme executive authority in the United Municipalities. He is able to create secondary legislation through Executive Orders. He is also constitutionally supposed to approve legislation, however this step of the legislative process has been bypassed by and large.

Council of State

Legislative

The Legislative branch, also known as the Congress, was formerly made up of the House of Citizens and the Senate. The House of Citizens was abolished after independence due to inactivity and streamlining of the governmental process. The Congress is the most active branch of government, having passed nearly twenty pieces of law, nearly half of the total amount of law.

Local government

Cities were able to be established after a few weeks of Arkonian existence, and the act that created them is now regarded as a document close to the constitution. The two cities currently in existence are Arkonia City and Laman, with 2 and 1 people respectively. Each city as a mayor and a city council as of now.
