Etymology
The Democratic Republic of Luxe is a nation founded in the summer of 2009 in Trento. The origins of the name are not known, which are believed to refer to the name of the President, Luca; incidentally the name in French means luxury.
History
The Begin
2009, Luca Mirante founded a hypothetical city in his room. establishes shops, banks a municipality and also appoints streets. The city also has fractions, Vicolo and Bussolino, plus other areas of his apartment. In 2012 he decided to take a step forward, he founded the Oligarchic Republic of Luxe and twins with another state of his neighbor, Franci city. Then he will help establish two more states, Emilsang and the State of Alux; he thus founded the UMS (union micro-states) to gather together a union between these nations.
The first war
In 2014, Luxe had known her "best friend", Franzlandia, that was founded the same year. The relations between the two states were the best of all the U.M.S. and so they became regional powers. This was possible thanks to a great collaboration in the economic and military fields that allowed the two nations to influence community decisions in their favor. But one day, the Franzlandiese government accused the Luxese government of exploiting the alliance under the table and considered it a dictatorship, decreeing the termination of relations. A few days later, during a training session for the PallaTennis men's national team, Franzlandia suddenly attacked the team. The army was forced to intervene, so the First War of U.M.S. began, at the end of which Franzlandia had to pay a heavy indemnity to Luxe.
Indipendence Declaration
In 2016, the president wanted to take another step; on April 18, Luxe gained independence and was a national holiday. Before, in fact, no official act had been implemented with which the nation proclaimed itself free and was forced to pay a large sum of money, thus causing a slight economic crisis. The act did not cause particular clamor, in fact for some time Luxe had been recognized by the other micronations as independent and in fact the national activities were self-managed. The copy of the declaration of independence is still available in the national archives.
The "Boom" Years
The boom years, also known as the Great Two Years, represent the period from January 2017 to January 2019, during which Luxe saw its fame grow nationally and internationally and saw a net increase in citizenship, allowing the launch of new institutions and activities, the most important of which the Parliament of Luxe, ministries and various sports competitions. They are also known for the numerous successes obtained in the military field and the numerous new diplomatic relations established. Among these, the one with the state of Angarb stands out, founded by Andrea Garbini , who then obtained citizenship and became a public figure in Luxe as well. But if on the one hand the term boom indicates something positive, on the other it is an onomatopoeia to indicate the wars fought. Angarb herself, on the wings of strong development, began to pose presumptuously towards Luxe and the prime minister, unbeknownst to the head of state, presented a declaration of war. This unconstitutional act caused an internal crisis in addition to the war already underway and Luxe exploited this crisis to collapse Angarb from the inside without using the army. This event will be remembered as Sabotage to Angarb and will decree the immediate end of hostilities and the consequent annexation of the state. In the Summer, Franzlandia felt the final blow after another diplomatic crisis and through a text message sent to the president's private cell phone, war was declared. This ended in a short time and was won with a single battle; in fact it is called the War of Two Hours and decreed the division of Franzlandia between Luxe and Fabroland
The Constitution and the Diplomatic Period
At the end of the war, the government decided to begin the final publication of the constitution taking all the articles published in previous years and merged them. In 2018, Luxe known the republic of Damazia and Luca Mirante became honorary senator. After the delcaration of indipendence of Chelandia, Luca Mirante has been reteared from senator, causing tensions between the two governments. Ever in 2018, Lorenzo Valente, prince of Tawil, has contacted the president of Luxe for making an alliance between the states. Luxe accepted the invite and for 6 months Tawil and Luxe were friendly. Chelandia and Tawil joined the U.M.S.. On instagram, in ocktober, Luca Mirante known the president of Astana, Andrea Grassidonio and the United States of Astana joined into U.M.S. too. For the moment, the new diplomatic set-up seemed mostly solid, but not for long. After few weeks, Luxe known CMSIT, a state that Luca Mirante has defined racist for the discrimination of any etnic communites. Chelandia and Tawil wanted to let in CMSIT but Luca Mirante refused. The states accuse he for dictatorship and Chelandia, Tawil and Astana leaved the U.M.S. and had founded the Union of Italian Micronations. Luxese intelligence intervened against CMSIT and was disrupted for the damage caused with the operation called La guerra degli 11 minuti. Was started the Cold Crisis of UMS. Astana decide to declare war to Luxe and it begins The War of Umni Against UMS and after few weeks, Astana declares the peace. After the war, Astana declares wars to Luxe and after 3 weeks of battles, Astana declares peace. Astana and Luxe firmed a treaty of allegiance and the italian communists micronations falled. The parliament of Luxe, in december 2020 saw a government crisis, why the general Andrea Garbini and the prime minister Giulia Benedetti left Luxe and the parliament was angry. After few votations, all is resolved and Luxe is in peace. When Astana Became a kingdom, Luxe hit the country with sanctions for the treaty, but astana refused to pay them and closed the rapport with Luxe, the parliament closed the embassies of Astana in Luxe.
Government Crisis and Pandemic
In January 2020, the government says that in 2 weeks there is the parliamentary elections. After this event, the Partito Democratico Forza Luxe lost his supremacy after 3 governments, achieved by Partito Social-Democratico. However, there are 4 seats each, so a coalition must be born. However, the party president refused to realign himself with the PSD, so in the fourth government in fact no one rules. Despite this, the democratic party has also lost the presidency of parliament, in fact Filippo Abramov has become the new president, removing the place for Elias Rafael Rivera Guerra. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, government activities have encountered quite a few problems. Luxe has promoted joint and sporting activities at national and international level and has implemented several summer events to keep the national identity firm. At the beginning of 2021, the general elections were postponed to September and the parliament in any case finished its mandate, leaving the reins of the executive to the president who is currently working on national crisis. Up to now the government has taken part in many online campaigns of all kinds trying to promote the activities and recently there is nothing more than Aranthaia Affairs.

The Luxe government has a direct line with the other governments U.M.S. not by mobile phone but through a non-traceable service.
Council of Ministries
The ministry is the body that represents all the ministers of the republic. The absolute Prime Minister of Luxese was Vladimir Piasente.

Foreign Affairs
The foreign minister is in charge of the relations between the state and others, but he can also intervene in all foreign cases concerning a citizen or the state.

Economy
The Luxese economy is very developed. It is based on technological commerce and exports paper as a raw material. The paper market, according to a survey, is equal to twice the needs of the entire nation. Other exported products are cotton, basil and handicrafts. With few imports and many exports, Luxe is a highly self-sufficient state. Almost all the Luxe companies, which are listed on the stock exchange, in which citizens can sell or buy shares. Another key factor for companies is the numerous bets on the stock exchange, which determine numerous winnings for GDP growth. An investigation carried out on April 30, has decreed that a total of 273,400 Loid were produced at Luxe.
Currency
The Loid is the official currency regent since 2009 of Luxe. There are two generations of these notes. the old generation and the current generation. The old generation was designed and cut by hand on green pieces of paper with 4 L in the corners and in the center the value of the banknote. The new ones have a waterfall effect with the luxese flag and were created using a graphic tablet and are brighter. The value of a Loid vechia generation was equal to euros, but now 10,000 loid are worth 1 euro.
Gdp pro capita
On May 1, 2019, the state's GDP was calculated for the first time, which is equal to 4,834 Loid Pro Capite (excluding online payments) which makes it one of the highest in Europe. It is a great achievement considering that Luxe has changed the old Loid a few months ago, recovering them all; Banknote production is medium-high.
The Stock Exchange
The Luxe stock exchange was founded in 2018, from an idea of Luca mirante. To date, shares have been bought equal to or greater than 5000 Loid; the highest ever recorded was that of 15,000 Loid. The Elec and Banca di Luxe S.p.A. are the first and have been battling for months. It has no official seat, in fact you can invest online in the Luxe Wasthapp group and the statistics are sent every month. This has meant that numerous companies of entrepreneurs were born with the intent to buy the most prestigious companies.
Technological Development
The government has always shown itself open to technological development over the years, wanting to make the capital (and other governorates) always at the forefront and automated. The greatest example is that of Luxe, which is about to receive the Luxe "Smart City" award. In the east, the government has provided a new office laptop, a google home that welcomes tourists to the republic, an EPSON wifi full-hd printer, a google smart-tv receiver, which via google home the transmission of video, switching on and off and more can be requested ... There is also a led lamp and a smart multi-color light bulb controlled electronically.
Culture
The Luxesi culture is very varied; in fact, due to the variety of citizens' nationalities, the different traditions meet. However, the state has maintained neutrality regarding the various traditions while protecting freedom and valuing differences.
Official languages
The first official language of the republic for Italian, which is spoken by the whole population. In 2010, the inhabitants wanted to create their own language, simple to learn, to break away from Italian culture. The Dialetto Luxese was created, which was discreetly published from 2010 to 2014. This language is now spoken by a few individuals, but it is still one of the official languages. On November 16, 2019, the Partito Democratico Forza Luxe proposed in parliament, to make the republic more special and also because citizens are fascinated by the fantasy genre and role-playing games, Elven Quenya one of the official languages of Luxe. With 6 votes in favor and 1 against, on November 17, the official announcement was made and numerous guides were put on the market.
