Arlandica (pronounced /ɑːrˈlændɪkə/ ahr-LAN-dih-kuh), officially the Kingdom of Arlandica[f][g] and historically Arland, is a self-proclaimed sovereign state, commonly known as micronation by external observers. Arlandica is a transcontinental, enclave and exclave country. Its territories are located in the Philippine archipelago and Eastern Antarctica, consisting of 6 provinces: Arlandican Capital Territory, Arlandican Antarctic Territory,[h] Galrea, Lémarita, Nueva Bago, and Paddaya.[1] The country is sparsely inhabited, with the vast majority residing in cities. The capital city is Santo Niño City, while the financial center and largest city is Rio Santiago City.

The kingdom was founded on April 20, 2020, three years ago, by King Jerold I, who is currently the monarch. The Royal House of Arlandica serves as the reigning house of the kingdom. Arlandica claims to be the successor to and continuation of the Realm of Davao Gulf, which existed from 1800 to 1850. However, it is important to note that there is no factual basis for this claim. The micronation is primarily a personal project and a political secessionist entity, with no intentions or aspirations to rebel against the government of the Republic of the Philippines. It provides a platform for individuals interested in experiencing and learning about governance.

Arlandica holds the 15th rank in the very high level category, with a score of 4.2, according to the Categoric-Gradial System of Classification. It also ranks 59th in the Human Development Index and holds the 2nd rank in the Micronational Climate Change Performance Index. In addition, Arlandica secures the 11th rank with a score of 9.0 in the Micronational Democracy Index.

Furthermore, Arlandica has a history of being a member of both Accande Terrie Ornindo and the Oceanic-Antarctic Micronational Commonwealth.

History

Pre-Arlandica

Datu Bago (1770–1850), Ruler of Davao gulf and National hero of Arlandica.

Earliest hominin activity in the Philippine archipelago is dated back to at least 709,000 years ago. The areas of what is now Santo Niño City was once a lush forest inhabited by nomadic peoples such as the Bagobos and Matigsalugs. Meanwhile, in the areas of what is now Galrea, Paddaya and Lémarita, Spanish Empire already occupied most of Luzon earlier before the Europeans landed in Davao.

In April 1848, José Cruz de Uyanguren of Vergara, landed on the estuary of the Davao river and conquered the land. Datu Bago resisted against the Spaniards but he was failed to defend his settlements. Datu Bago was forced to retreat further inland. The Spanish control of the areas in Davao gulf was unstable at best, as its Lumad and Moro natives routinely resisted the attempts of the Spanish authorities to forcibly resettle them and convert them into Christians.

The Philippines then became a territory of the United States. U.S. forces suppressed a revolution led by Emilio Aguinaldo. However, in 1942 during World War II, Japan occupied the Philippines. The U.S. military overpowered the Japanese in 1945. Since then it's land has been ruled by a number of nations, most notably the Republic of the Philippines.

First era

In April 2020, Jerold Lopez Garte Jr., on his birthday, announced the establishment of the Federal Democratic Republic of Arland. The first original territory was the surrounding areas of the Arland River, and its territories expanded over the next several years. At that time, he prioritized creating flags and coats of arms. A few months later, Arlandica established its first foreign relations and contacted Vilasia, its neighboring micronation. Arland (or FDRA) began taking some territories in Antarctica, the Davao Gulf, and the Mariana Islands. Arlandica is the first Filipino micronation to lay claim to the Antarctic continent.

The administration received many criticisms, and the country experienced instability. In October 2020, Jerold decided to declare martial law to remove all leftist influence and figures within the country. Two months later, Jerold wanted to establish a monarchy, but his sister, Je-ann Garte, disagreed, as she supported the continuation of the republic under the Communist Party. Je-ann attempted to overthrow her brother's leadership by organizing a coup d'état, but she failed to gather enough supporters. Jerold was crowned as the monarch, and the Arlandican monarchy was created.

Second era

In January 2021, Jerold renamed the country from Arland to Arlandica and enacted its first documented constitution. However, it was not enough to fix the problems of his government. Later, Arlandica annexed EstaGrik to add it to its collection of colonies. Including mainland Arlandica, the total amount of land under Arlandican sovereignty reached 2,400,000 km² (930,000 sq mi), with 97% of it concentrated in Antarctic claims. This was its greatest extent so far, in February 2021.

Suleiman became the next monarch of Arlandica, replacing Jerold, after they signed an agreement called the "Arlandic Agreement" in March 2021.[i] It allowed Renderfeit and other foreign states to intervene in the internal affairs of Arlandica. Antarctic claims and other colonies were abandoned until 2022, while EstaGrik became part of Renderfeit. Some supporters and Arlandicans were unhappy about the agreement. They were not consulted, and Suleiman's rule made the country more dependent on Renderfeit. Foreign micronational leaders in the Philippines expressed their interest in Arlandica joining their micronations, with a promise that they could govern the country very well. However, the Arlandican people and Jerold rejected all of their offers.

Two weeks after Suleiman came into power, Jerold started a movement to make himself the head of state. He refused to call himself the "prime minister" and preferred to be called a "monarch." The Arland Crisis occurred because of the conflicts between Suleiman and Jerold I. The forces of Arlandica successfully liberated the entire country, and independence was restored.

Third era

Stable government and economic development in the country are evident due to the new laws implemented by the King, who prioritizes the welfare of Arlandicans. Despite continuous development, republican rebels (supported by Qinnowah) in the Nueva Bago province started an uprising against the monarch, resulting in a battle that ended in a victory for the Arlandican government. The government of Arlandica and the Vilasia signed a mutual defense and cooperation treaty, forming an alliance regarding intermicronational defense. The country upholds civilian supremacy and has no form of military. Coulman Island (by the 2022 Treaty of Coulman) and Baylosa (by the 2021 Annexation of Baylosa) are former territories of Arlandica that are now part of the Vilasian Empire. At that time, King Jerold I abolished all elements of colonialism to have a more modernized and standardized government.

In May 2022, King Jerold I enacted the 2022 Arlandican Constitution. On the same day, several ministries and the Council were created. The capital was renamed from Arland City to Santo Niño City. Since July 2022, Lémarita, Paddaya, Galrea, Nueva Bago, Arlandican Capital Territory, and Arlandican Antarctic Territory joined Arlandica as its provinces. Months later, Arlandica changed itself from a principality into a kingdom following a constitutional amendment. On February 5, 2023, the 2023 Arlandican general election for governors was peacefully conducted. These elections were seen as a significant step forward in the country's political development and democracy since there had been no previous elections in Arlandica at any level of government.

Geography

The northern portion of the Island of Luzon, where several Arlandican territories, particularly Lémarita, are located, was captured from the International Space Station.
Mount Menzies

Arlandica consists of thirteen enclaves, two exclaves, and thirty-four islands and coral reefs scattered across parts of the Philippines. Arlandica also has territorial claims in East Antarctica. The country's six provinces occupy a combined land area of 785,874 square kilometers (303,427 square miles). The vast majority of this land area is made up of the uninhabited Arlandican Antarctic Territory. Excluding the Antarctic territory, the total land area of the remaining territories is only 6.88 km2 (2.66 sq mi). Santo Niño City, the capital, is located at 7°08'N latitude and 125°36'E longitude. Mount Menzies, situated in the Prince Charles Mountains, is the tallest mountain in Arlandica, reaching an elevation of 3,355 meters above sea level. However, if we exclude the Antarctic claim, the title of the tallest mountain belongs to Mount Arland, standing at 91 meters above sea level, located in Santo Niño City. The Ticaowa River, which flows within Lémarita, is the longest river in the country, and Arland Lake, also located in Santo Niño City, is the largest tropical lake. Arlandica is estimated to be one of the largest micronations in the world in terms of the extent of its territorial claims.

Arlandica has control and presence over its five provinces in the Philippines but not its Antarctic territory. Still, they have no intentions to give up territorial claims there.

Borders

The borders of Arlandica are currently defined by the constitution. Arlandica consists of several provinces including Arlandican Capital Territory, Galrea, Lémarita, Nueva Bago, and Paddaya, all of which share terrestrial and maritime borders with the Philippines. The capital territory and Mainland Vilasia are only a few kilometers apart, making them the closest micronational capitals in proximity.

On the other hand, the Arlandican Antarctic Territory shares a terrestrial border with the Australian Antarctic Territory, Gaussland (Karnia-Ruthenia), and Hortania. It also has a maritime border with Ross Dependency, Coulman Island (Vilasia), Dubast, and Lehmark. However, it is important to note that territorial claims in Antarctica are not recognized by most nations.

Approximately between 85% to 97% of Arlandica are nature reserves, uninhabited land, forest, or coral area. The most lush, tropical, and fertile areas in the country are found in the provinces of Lémarita, Nueva Bago, Galrea, Paddaya, and Arlandican Capital Territory. There are various species of mamals, fishes, flowers and birds in these provinces. Most commonly are frogs, snakes, chickens, pigeon, lizard, carabao, goats, and ducks.

The Arlandican Antarctic Territory is permanently covered by ice and it has relatively low biodiversity, with only a small number of species of terrestrial plants, animals, algae, and lichens. The coasts and adjacent islands are the breeding ground for various seabirds and penguins, and the leopard seal, weddell seal, elephant seal, crabeater seal, and ross seal breed on the surrounding pack ice in summer.

He had a deep sense of patriotism and was committed to creating a unique and independent sovereign state that would be a shining example of what can be accomplished with determination, hard work, and a bold vision.

In recognition of King Jerold I's role in creating the micronation, the people of Arlandica decided to name the new state after him, using a shortened version of his nickname "Ar". This was a fitting tribute to the founder of the nation and a way of honoring his contributions to the country's early development.

Over time, Arlandican people have assimilated these diverse cultural influences, resulting in a unique blend of traditions and customs that are distinctly Arlandican.
