The Commonwealth of Faltree, often informally known as Faltree, is an independent sovereign state, commonly referred to as a micronation by outside observers. It was established on the 29 July 2023, by Hunt Powell with assistance from prominent politicians from the State of Faltree. The Commonwealth of Faltree is a founding member of the International Workers Congress.
Etymology

History
Foundation
The Commonwealth of Faltree was founded primarily by Hunt Powell, with assistance from Connor Shaw, Asher Young, Fredrick M., Matthew Laptev, and Jonathan Gundy. The Commonwealth gains its legitimacy from the collaboration of these individuals, including the former Commander of Faltree, two Interior Ministers, and multiple government ministers. The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Faltree was written on 1 August 2023, which now constitutes the government of Faltree.
Government and politics
The Commonwealth of Faltree is a constitutional parliamentary popular-front democracy[1] headed by General Secretary of the Commonwealth of Faltree Jonathan Gundy, and the Premier of the Commonwealth of Faltree is Matthew Laptev.

The Faltrian Left Front serves as the ruling popular front for the Commonwealth of Faltree, similar to the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea.
