Establishment of the Provisional Government of Simharashtra
The Provisional Government of Simharashtra was established on April 20, 2022 after a Dream that occured to the Crown Prince. In that dream he was given divine providence of establishing a new country. The Crown Prince stated, "I didn't know about micronations until I watched a youtube video of a micronation." He also stated, "the idea of creating my own nation came in a dream so I started to research and analyze what is micronationalism and who are involved in it". When the Crown Prince started his country his first name for the country was the Isle of Mercion and he kept changing it ever since. The Crown Prince finally settled on the name Simharashtra to reflect his Hindu Culturual Identity. The Great Thinking Era was a period of uncertainty when the founder of the Kingdom, the then Captain Sir Vikramaditya Rajasimhan, now, Crown Prince & Regent, was in great dilemma whether to choose a constitutional monarchy where the Monarch is just head of state and a figurehead with only ceremonial powers or an Absolute Monarchy where the total powers are held by the King as prime minister. The Great Thinking Era ended when the founder of the Kingdom decided to choose an Absolute Monarchy. Moreover, the Era also included which type of government should be chosen whether a unitary government or a federal government, the founder chose a quasi-federal system under a feudal monarchy where the nobles of the realm can govern in their respective territories in all levels of government, but they are prohibited by the Sovereign to raise armies of their own. The Era also included whether to choose a Civil Law or Common Law. The Founder chose civil law since it's easier to reference and requires less revisions. The Era ended on April 20, 2022.
On 20 April 2022, The Provisional Government was established by the State Regency Council on the Order of the Acting Prime Minister, the Prince Regent, Vikramaditya I of Simharashtra.
The Provisional Government adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Citizens and established a Bill of Rights. These rights are meant to be held sacred as those rights are lawfully begotten by the Subjects of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Grandelysia, The Crown Prince and Regent by God.
The Provisional Government was established in April 2022 based on the theory of self-determination and self-sovereignty. The Crown Prince is the Prince Regent as Head of Government and State. He is the current Chancellor of the Provisional Government of Simharashtra (PGS). He shall be crowned King when the country fully establishes. The provisional constitution has been in force since December 26th of 2022. It sets out basic governing policies and rights.
The Provisional Constitution was ratified on the 26th of December 2022 after the Declaration of Independence the day before and officially began governing provisionally. The Kingdom of Simharashtra was formally established by law. His Royal Highness the Prince of Grandelysia who the Crown Prince is unilaterally ratified it. The official title of the Chief Executive of the Provisional Government was Prime Minister, but the Crown Prince amended the Provisional Constitution and changed the title to Chancellor. The title of Prime Minister will be reinstated after the Permanent Constitution has been ratified in Parliament.
