The Empire of Vollaria is a Micronation in the Philadelphia region. It was created in 2022, by August Spee.
History
Creation
Vollaria was created out of pure boredom, and the Emperor's want to return to micronationalism. The micronation was founded 15 May 2022, out of the ruins of the old Kaiserreich von Käden, which is why it uses the same flag, motto, currency, etc. This decision was made in order to both recognize the past of Vollaria, as well as make the process of getting it started much easier. As of now, the history of this micronation is short.
Culture
Vollarian culture is heavily influenced by that of both Christian and American cultures. This can be seen especially in holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas
Holidays
Vollaria celebrated many holidays, such as Christmas and New Years, but also celebrates some of it's own holidays, such as the Midnight Festival, Founder's Day, and Vollaria Day.
