Slitronia (/slitrəʊəniɑː/, Estonian: Slitroonia, Estonian pronunciation: [slitroːniɑ]), officially the Great Kingdom of Slitronia (Estonian: Slitroonia Suurkuningriik), is a self-declared sovereign state, commonly known as a micronation to external observers. It is located in Northern Europe and is enclaved by the macronation of Estonia. The territory of Slitronia consists of the mainland and six islands on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, which have been divided into one county, one territory and one region, covering a total area of 4.98 km² (1.92 square miles). Slitronia's capital Parva Navale, and the largest city Kalamaja are the largest urban areas in the country. Slitronia declared its independence on 11 April 2020. The official languages spoken are Estonian and English.
Etymology
Before Slitronian declaration of independence, there was a contest to decide on the flag and the name of the nation. The name Slitronia came from the combination of the two highest-voted names, being Slijoodu and Trumba.[1]
History
Estonia until 2019 (de jure) until 2020 (de facto)
Khuulide Khuttide Khlubi 2019–2020
Slitronia 2020–present
Khuulide Khuttide Khlubi
The beginning of the conception of Slitronia can be connected with a school group named Khuulide Khuttide Khlubi, that existed in both real life and on Messenger. It was created on 1 April 2019 and the last message on its Messenger group was sent on 10 April 2020, which was a link to the vote to choose a name and a flag for Slitronia. The only area it claimed was islands near Hiiumaa, which later became the first three islands of the Kasari Islands in Slitronia.[2]
Direct monarchy era
2020
Slitronia, or as it was known in the first days, Slijoodu,[3] and after that Slitrumba,[3] was mostly a one-man nation in 2020. A lot of information about the first year is lost, because most of Slitronia's activity took place on now-deleted discord servers. One of the few things known about that time is that Slitronia signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Hasanistan.[4][5]
2021
At the beginning of 2021, Slitronia was semi-active. Two new administrative divisions were created; the County of Torostar (16 March 2021) and the County of Kalamaja (18 May 2021). Slitronia also established contact for the first time with Revalia, a micronation in Estonia, which Slitronia found through the Nordic Assembly.
Slitronia established mutual recognition with the Kingdom of the Flemish Ardennes on 15 March 2021,[a] with the Parliamentary Monarchy of Duckionary on 15 October 2021,[6] a treaty of alliance and mutual recognition with the Revalian Kingdom on 29 December 2021 at a real life meeting between the Revalian King Sander II and the Slitronian Great King Johannes I[7][8] and a mutual recognition with the Holy Esgeldian Tsardom on 18 January 2022.[9]
Slitronia also joined some micronational organisations during 2021, these being World Micronation Organization (27 April 2021 to 15 July 2021), which Slitronia left due to the organization being inactive, Nordic Assembly (30 March 2021) and the Baltic Union (31 December 2021).[10]
2022
Slitronia was more active in the beginning of 2022, establishing mutual recognitions with the Principality of Moorsem,[11][12] State of Malus[13] and Mornastan[14] and joining the Alliance of the Micronations (13 March 2022), Grand Unified Micronational (25 March 2022; as an observer) and Micronational Olympic Federation (11 March 2022).
Slitronia also acceded to the Wrythe and Edgbaston conventions.[15][16]
Current era
2022
The current era started with the first Imperium elections, from where the first Imperium was elected. After the first Imperium (10 July 2022) meeting administrative changes were made: The County of Kalamaja and the Capital City and County of Parva Navale were made into cities and the Area of Pääsküla Lake was created, all of which were placed under the Region of Tallinn. The Imperium also decided to withdraw the recognition of the Kingdom of the Flemish Ardennes, due to it having been inactive since its recognition.[17]
On 24 August the Imperium accepted the Foreign Policy of the Great Kingdom of Slitronia.[18]
Slitronia also left the Grand Unified Micronational on 31 August as it didn't renew it's observership status in time. The Great King Johannes I stated that Slitronia would apply again when they ratify the GUM charter, so they could apply to be a member.
On 18 September 2022 Slitronia signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Vishwamitra.[19]
On 4 December Slitronia ended their recognition of the State of Malus[20] and signed a treaty of mutual recognition with the splinter state Republic of Malus.[21] Two days later Slitronia signed a mutual recognition with the Cosminian Empire.[22]
