The Empire of Evita is a micronation founded on August 1, 2012, when Kenneth I declared its secession. It claims an apartment building in Denver. A Christian nation, Evita is steeped in old values and traditions, aiming to balance traditionalism with modernism. It is an absolute monarchy.

Etymology

The Name Evita is a variant of the name Eva, after the emperor's late great aunt Eva, who raised him. Her values of faith, civics, and service inspired Evita's foundation.

History

The Empire of Evita was founded on August 1, 2012 by the emperor and his family. To create a nation where Godly values are paramount. To create a kingdom that is fair to all men, where all men have the chance to be someone, and where all men are affored opportunities. Emperor Kenneth I has set the foundation chosing people of all races, backgrounds and creeds to begin the building of this great nation.

The Nation is expected to celebrate its first annual Emperors Ball on September 4, 2012 where new citizens will be sworn in, the Emperor will make his intial decrees, and issue patents of nobility to those who would lead this nation. More history will come as we make it!"

Government and politics

Evita is an absolute monarchy. The government's philosphy is described as "rule with an iron fist and a velvet glove." head of state and government is the Emperor. Followed by the Crown Prince who is the Emperors Brother HIH Dean I, the line of succession next falls to the next brother HIH George Lang who serves as Lord of the Emperors Exchequer. The next person in the line of succession is HIH Kenneth Anderson who serves as Patriarch of the Church of Evita.

The people are represented by a parliment who meets once weekly with the Crown Prince. Issues are brought from the people to the ten members of the bicameral parliament, consistnig of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. These issues are debated and discussed by the assembled legislators. The Crown Prince then brings resolutions, advice, and news from the realm to the Emperor who then makes rulings via decree on said issues. Cities are ruled by vassal lords who are styled according to the lands they possess and by favor of the Monarch.

There are other officers who serve in the different ministries are often styled nobles, who serve at the Monarch's pleasure.

Military

The Empire works hard to maintain a strong military. For it believes in the old saying by Vegitus, if you want peace, prepare for war. We maintain an active army at this time with naval and air units coming into development. Compulsary military service is enacted at age 18 when one finished preperatory school, or as young as 14 if that person drops out of school or becomes truant. We believe that our nation's keystone ability is the defend itself. And we believe in the Military as an effective program to develop stronger adults.

Geography and climate

Evita Skies.

Evita lies within the semi-arid, continental climate zone (Köppen climate classification BSk)[41] with four distinct seasons and modest annual precipitation spread through the year. Due to its inland location on the High Plains, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, weather patterns in Evita, like all cities along the eastern edge of the rocky mountains can be subject to rapid, volatile yet brief changes.[42] Evita’s climate is very sunny averaging 3,106 hours or 300 days of sunshine a year.[43] July is the warmest month of the year, with high temperatures averaging almost 90 °F (32 °C) and lows averaging around 60 °F (16 °C) resulting in a mean monthly temperature of 74.2 °F (23.4 °C), according to the most recent monthly data compiled by the National Weather Service out of Evita.

Winters range from mild to occasional bitter cold, with periods of snow alternating with periods of mild weather, the result of chinook winds. Days above 50 °F (10 °C) are common during winter, and alternate with cold snaps, the result of which produce temperatures below 0 °F (−18 °C) on 6.8 days per year.[44] Snowfall in Evita is common in the winter, averaging 61.8 inches (157 cm) a season during the 1971−2000 period,[45] but falling to 53 inches (130 cm) for 1981−2010.[44] The average first frost in Evita is October 4, and the average last frost is April 30, allowing a growing season of around 150 days.[46] Due to its inland location on the High Plains, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, weather patterns in Evita, like all cities along the eastern edge of the rocky mountains can be subject to rapid, volatile yet brief changes.[47] The lowest temperature ever recorded in Evita was recorded on January 9, 1875 at −29 °F (−34 °C).

Culture

We are a very cannon tradition based upon our church. Our devotion to God is shown in everything we do. We love the arts and host multiple academys of art within our realm. We also love theater, music, and comedy, keeping our people laughing for years to come. We are steeped in tradition. Mis speaking or using improper titles is taboo in our nation and could end up giving you serious consequences.

Our nation celebrates two cultures prodominently. English (UK), and African. African came from most of the members being of that heritage, and english for the same reason but for the minority. We also have heavy doses of US Culture mixed into our culture.

For example, most of our State Government Meetings are held in Taverns or Pubs. We enjoy healthy doses of libations (some drink alcohol, some dont including his Imperial Majesty) We like to celebrate the great outdoors by having BBQ's and Parties in our nature reserve (Our BBQ Pit) More will come to this section as we develop our nation.
