History

Main articles: History of Urabba Parks and Independence of Urabba Parks

Logo of Urabba Parks 2012 - 2020

The Wiradjuri have inhabited places associated with New Eurabba for approximately 65,000 years. Permanent settlement at the current site of the village of Rankins Springs at the terminus of a railway line began in 1923. The founding enactor, Danny Racovolis, purchased 4 Urabba Street, a vacant quarter-acre block, in 2011. In early 2012, Racovolis decided to pursue what is now known in Urabbaparcensia as 'charitable democracy', having a charity nation delivering benefit to the wider community but also having a unique identity. Urabba Parks Pty Ltd was officially incorporated as a company on 3 July 2012, and was registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission on 3 December 2012. The original quarter-acre bock at Urabba Street was declared Urabba Street Reserve by the local authority on 27 September 2016, allowing its marking on New South Wales map, and is now simply known as Urabba.

Establishment of jurisdiction

Main article: Establishment of jurisdiction (Urabba Parks)

For the first 9 years of its existence, Urabbaparcensia was governed by a "conventional" charitable company constitution, which was slightly modified to allow for the fact it was a proprietary company limited by shares; any share of profits and assets to the shareholders would be prohibited to establish not-for-profit status. The current constitution came into force upon the establishment of jurisdiction on 5 March 2021, when the Urabba Parks Proprietary Limited Constitution Statute 2021 was officially enacted. The constitution provides that the overarching purpose of Urabbaparcensia is to "to advance humanity and the environment together" through the development of charitable democracy. The constitution also codified the micronational character as being both "Hellenic" and "Landcare".

Integration into the Empire of Imvrassia

On 23 June 2022, Urabbaparcensia became a Hegemony of the Empire of Imvrassia, a Greek micronation established by Emperor Aggelos in 2011 under the name Hegemony of Urabba Parks. The monarch now holds the honorary title of Sebastokrator of Urabba Parks. The affiliation to Imvrassia is intended to advance the Hellenic character of Urabbaparcensia. However, the arrangement was abolished along with the agreement with Flandrensis, on 1 May 2024.

Establishment of New Eurabba

On 14 August 2022, the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis announced the creation of an ecological sanctuary at Urabba,, now known as New Eurabba, under the terms of the Treaty of Corporation and Establishment of the Treaty on Corporation and Establishment of the Ecological County (Sanctuary) of Urabba, later renamed the Treaty on Corporation and Establishment of the Ecological County (Sanctuary) of New Eurabba. A treaty was signed on 18 August authorising the creation of the territory of Urabbaparcensia called the Flandrensian Ecological County of Urabba to be affiliated with Flandrensis as a sanctuary , while respecting the Traditional Ownership of the Wiradjuri people and the status of Urabbaparcensia as an Imvrassian Hegemony. As a sign of appreciation, Emperor Aggelos made Grand Duke Nicholas an Archon of the Hegemony of Urabba Parks. On 4 September 2023, the sanctuary was formally renamed the Flandrensian Ecological County of New Eurabba and established as a region of Urabba Parks Pty Ltd encompassing the surrounding local government electorate, Ward B of Carrathool Shire, New South Wales. On 8 September 2023, Urabbaparcensia acquired Promachos, a New Eurabban site, for the purposes of environmental protection. The treaty with Flandrensis was ended by mutual agreement effective 1 May 2024, with the region becoming a constituent micronation under the name Racservian Environment of New Eurabba.

Bodyguard Reform Package and other reforms

In 2024, Urabbaparcensia enacted the Bodyguard Reform Package which resulted in the creation of the Athena Urabbanakis Promachos Trust and officially adopted the name Enactorate of Urabbaparcensia Proprietary Limited. The Constitution was altered and the foundational statute renamed the Statute of Urabbapolis 2024.

Upon the request from the Urabbaparcensian Government, the Australian Government (through the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission formed the Urabbaparcensian_ACNC Group in 2024 to represent Urabbaparcensia's charity sector before the macronational authorities. Members of the Urabbaparcensian ACNC_Group will lodge a common annual information statement each financial year in respect of the economy of the micronation.

In November 2024, the Racservian Environment of New Eurabba became the Principality of New Eurabba.

• Patron membership (non-redeemable preference shares), where the shareholder has the right to nominate the amount paid up on the shares to their chosen charity upon winding up
• Ordinary membership, where shareholders are entitled to chose the charities to receive assets remaining net assets after the payment of debts (including those related to service membership) to their charities in proportion to their shareholding.

Greater Arms of the Hegemony of Urabbaparcensia

The founder of Urabbaparcensia, Danny Racovolis, in honour of his grandfather J.P. Racovolis, declared in the constitution his intention the micronation has a Hellenic character in terms of ethnicity. Urabbaparcensia is affiliated with another micronation located in Greece, the Empire of Imvrassia, as a Hegemony. The affiliation with Imvrassia is intended to advance the Hellenic character of Urabbaparcensia. However, as an environmental charity, Urabbaparcensia does not have any permanent inhabitants of territory under its jurisdiction, and as such the private residences of Urabbaparcensians are not considered part of the micronation's integral territory. For the purposes of law of the Empire of Imvrassia, the population of the Hegemony of Urabbaparcensia consists of Racovolis as Sebastokrator of the Hegemony, along with other people declared by Urabbaparcensia to be part of its population. The constitution provides for the declaration of Urabbaparcensian Associates, however membership of Urabbaparcensia is also required to vote in elections.

Many of the national symbols of Urabbaparcensia reflect the declared intentions of Danny Racovolis as founder of Urabbaparcensia. The house mark, the Urabbaparcensian Cross, is a is a monogrammatic cross or Staurogram (which is a typographic ligature composed of a superposition of the Greek letters tau (Τ) and rho (Ρ)), with the 'T' joined by a demi-circle.

Urabbaparcensian culture is primarily an Australian culture, originally derived from United Kingdom but also influenced by the unique geography of Urabba Parks and the cultural input of Aboriginal and other Greek people. As an environmental organisation, Urabba Parks bases its culture in circularity, reusing existing materials and methods where practicable. Circularity is present in Urabbaparcensian art through the practice of reusing existing materials and methods, where practicable, in representing the contemporary nature of the Flandrensian Ecological County of Urabba in Rankins Springs and the aspirations of Urabbaparcensia as a micronation.

Urabba Parks operates the Corporate Register of Legislation, which provides links to Australian legal resources (in addition to providing authorised versions of Urabbaparcensian Government laws for download), in addition to a number of social media channels. Urabbaparcensian sport takes the form of involvement in fantasy leagues and tipping competitions. On 12 July 2022, Enactor Danny Racovolis entered Urabba Parks FC (now the Urabba Parks Cockatoos) in the 2022/23 season of the MicroNations League Trophy, a Premier League fantasy football competition, marking the involvement in intermicronational sporting competitions. On 15 August 2022, Urabba Parks was admitted as a member of the Micronationalist Martial Arts Association. In 2023, Urabba Parks won the inaugural MicroAFL League Championship.
