The Aistiai Commonwealth is a micronation that is located in Masuria, Poland, but it also claims Bouvet Island. It is a part of the micronational alliance, the MPA. It has a population of 10, with 2 local citizens, and 8 foreign citizens. Formerly, the cats were counted as citizens, but now they are not, as the population grew.
Its territory encompasses the 1st floor of the house, the backyard and the garage entrance. It also owns a garden as a condominium. It is a peaceful micronation, and has never participated in conflicts. It officially started in early August 2022, but it's predecessor was in a different location with a different name. The Federal Duke also has 2 cats.
Etymology
The name Aistiai comes from the proto-Baltic tribe, Aistiai, that was located in the lands that the micronation is in.
History
Predecessor of the Aistiai Commonwealth
The history of the micronation starts on the 5th of March 2021, when it was in a different location and had a different name - New [CITY] Confederacy. It was a de jure democracy, and it had only 1 citizen. The micronation then made a flag and a map. About 2 months later, an 'election' would be held, where the president would win. Later on, the Confederacy in the name was changed to Confederation. The micronation was then forgotten though and the president would move his location on March–April 2022. The issue of the micronation was brought up again in early August 2022, when the former micronation would be officially dissolved and a new one would be created.
Early history of the Aistiai Commonwealth, MPA joining
It's name would be selected, and a flag would be made. At first, the Commonwealth only compromised of the top part of the house, but later it annexed the entrance and then the backyard. Not much would take place, until the 21st of August, when the Aistiai Commonwealth joined the MPA. Originally it was an observer member but a day later it would be a full one. On the 22nd of August it would also join the ITA, but it would be mostly forgotten about later on. A day later, the National Aistiai News would begin to be made, ending though on the 31st of November, serving formerlu as a newspaper and as a historical archive of Aistiai Commonwealth. The ruler would also get his title - The Federal Duke. At the 28th of August, it would change it's flag to the current one. The older one featured the Coat of Arms in the centre, and it also had a dark blue. This is the only flag change so far.
The Aistiai growth
At the 1st of September, it's borders would be made official. The Commonwealth would also annex the entrance to the garage, and would cede around 3 square meters to Poland. On the 8th of September, the Aistiai Commonwealth would be for the first time in state of mourning for 10 days as Queen Elizabeth died. On the 14th of September, a Discord server for Aistiai was created and a territory of around 4 square meters would be annexed. 5 days later, the Aistiai constitution would finally be created, and later on the King of Cronic would be voted for the Minister of Justice, and then for the Minister of Agriculture.
The October era
On the 30th of September, the Federal Duke would receive Cronic citizenship, due to the very close ties between the two micronations. On the 4th of October, the Anti-Putin act was passed to the Aistiai constitution with a 4-1 yes majority vote. A day later, Aistiai would go into observer status in the MPA, but on the 16th of October it would be reverted. On the 11th of October, several micronations would be recognized officially by the Federal Duke such as Molossia, Stomaria, Sealand, and more. 2 days later it would join the C.A.N. [Coalition of Abrahamic Nations], but it would leave it on the 16th of October due to Tizian, the Almendrian leader joining it. On the 15th of October as sarcasm Yakutia and Chukotka were claimed as Aistiai territory. On the 18th October, an other micronation would be recognized, called the Federation of Pangaea. No large news from nearly 2 weeks later on, but on the 27th of October all pennies were gotten ridden of from the royal coffers, as they would be banned by the 1st of November. On the start of November, The Ban Act would be made, banning things such as tobacco or drugs.
November era
For a bit, after the Ban Act, not much would happen. However on the 5th, Terredepaix enlarged it's claims. Aistiai did not recognize the enlarged claims, but it was done peacefully. The day later, it annexed Bouvet Island. Some days after, Aistiai to make better ties would create a political party in Besonia, running for governors in several positions. It also later recognized Chechnya as a country occupied by Russia. After the pro-Confederate stance of the Contradvanian Dixie, Aistiai decided to ban Confederate imagery and symbolism & completely block all possible relations with the micronation. After that, more has been looked into the defense spectrum in Aistiai, planning a border post, border guard position and a Ministry of Defense. On 31.11 National Aistiai News was stopped being made. Aistiai switched to a different type of news, relying on a discord server which was slowly fazed out. During the MPA GA meeting in December, as snow was present in Aistiai, winter measures were being looked into. A curfew will be put into place during -20C temperatures. A blizzard warning, heating regulations and enforced ownership of winter clothing are also planned.
December era
Not much would happen as Aistiai went into a peaceful week with no changes until on the 11th of December when the subdivisions of Aistiai were being planned. They are not finished so far, though. A day later Aistiai would create weather stages for snow levels from 1 to 6. 'Primary Aistiai infrastructure' was also made official, due to at certain levels it needing to be shoveled. On the 18th December relations with Ruscan and Baltazaria would be fully cut and the ruler of Miraguay would apply as a citizen which we delightfully accepted. From the 23rd of December to the 1st of January the Aistiai Government went on a recess, celebrating Christmas and New Years. After that though Martiaterran relations were officially reopened again, and a speech was made by the Federal Duke.
The quiet era
On the 12th of February after the GA meeting was held Aistiai formed a party in the Social Democratic Coalition in the MPA parliament. Also, later on, subdivisions were finally created for Aistiai, but no governor positions will ever be made. The Aistiai Commonwealth on the 20th February officially changed from a Constitutional to an Absolute Duchy. Later on 2 days later Aistiai created it's very own FIFA team - Aistiai FC, which however was later dissolved. So far, the Commonwealth has enjoyed stability and peace. Around 10th March - The first attack on Aistiai occured, with a visitor throwing rocks way above the trees at the border. Luckily so far it is the first, and last attack on us. In March, a fence gate part fell off on the condominium border, making a bit of a security threat, however it was later repaired, as well as seizing relations with Nexus. What also happened was that on 18th on March, The Federal Duke announced a 'hibernation mode' for Aistiai, due to some inactivity. At the end of March, the Independence Act was implemented, and in April, the official Aistiai football kits were made. However, they are yet to be used. The Aistiai Defence Forces were also created, to hopefully stop any dangerous incidents. Lastly, National Anti-Communism Day was made official to be on 4.06.
The MPA dissolvement
The MPA was dissolved on 1st of May due to a number of causes. However it didn't go too bad, as it transitioned into a micronational chat server, and it was later remade again in 23rd July. It didn't affect the existance of the micronation, though. However for a small period it did strain relations with Besonia.
