The Kingdom of Nave (Naven Raino de Nave pronunciation [ˈrajno ˈða ˈsopja]) f known as Nave (formerly Sopia, Tiniana or Tinyana), is a micronation in Asturias, Spain. Nave was dissolved in 2022 by the old king, but was revived in 2023 with a smaller territory and a different flag by king Teleturbio I.
Nave used to be a parliamentary monarchy, but it is an absolute monarchy now.
Etymology
The name Nave comes from the Spanish word for Soup, Sopa, as the country was founded by a worshipers of the holy soup.
History
Origin
Nave was founded by the Order of the Holy Soup and its members in the 7th of July of 2019, in King Teleturbio's birthday, when the holy soup was attacked by Saul. To protect the soup, every member of the order joined forces against him in the Holy War. Upon his defeat the kingdom was established with king Fueyes I as king.
Horse Wars
Nave sought to expand, claiming the entirety of the parish. But they ran into conflict with Eduardo "the Horse lord", who controlled most of the parish and a lot of horses. The Horse Wars began between Eduardo's horses and the kingdom, the horses were defeated and forced to retreat out of Nave's territory. Later, Eduardo agreed to the Horse land rights Agreement with the government.
Political Reforms
On the 1st of December 2019, the first Naven political party, the Worker's Party was founded, they demanded the creation of a parliament and constitution approved by everyone. These complaints were heard, and the parliament was founded the very next day and the constitution was approved the 4th of December, other two parties were founded, the National Party and the Liberal Party.
Sheep Wars
The next year, 2020, a group of sheep invaded the south of Nave, occupying the greenhouse, a formal ultimatum was delivered to the sheep, but they ate it. This was interpreted as a declaration of war, and the First Sheep War began. The war went well for Nave, as they were able to force the sheep to retreat to Red Forest (in the border of Nave), but the sheep refused to leave Nave completely. On the 16 of February 2021, an agreement was signed between the shepherd that led the sheep and the government, leaving all land west of the Red Forest and east of the greenhouse to the sheep.
Nonetheless, just some days later, the sheep managed to cross the fence and occupy the greenhouse once again, and they didn't stop there, as they advanced more until they reached the royal palace, this triggered the Second Sheep war, the sheep fought with the national guard in front of the royal palace and the then-commander-in-chief of the national guard, Teleturbio, was harmed in battle, this gained him the Order for Holy Service award. The sheep were once again driven out of the greenhouse, but this time, the greenhouse was destroyed, leaving only ruins. It was decided to clear the greenhouse's ruins completely and leave all that land for the sheep, expanding the older agreement.
Republican coup
On the 29th of April 2022, the republican Common Front launched a coup against the king, which was successful and established a temporary Naven republic. Elections were held on the 1st of May and the Common Front and other far-left formations won by a landslide, due to the low number of turnout of voters opposing the republic.
Dissolution
After this, many citizens lost interest in the country and the country was dissolved shortly after.
Revival
Politics and government
Nave is an absolute monarchy, and as such, the king has full powers in all matters of state, the royal court or general court (conçejo generél) acts as a council of ministers and councilors helping the King.
Law and order and Military
The national guard (le garde nacionél) acts as the main police force and military in the country. It was abandoned after the dissolution, but the new government is seeking to revive it.
Foreign relations
The first Naven kingdom only maintained relations with the Kingdom of Salanda and the Wakoku Federation, which were established in April 2023 after Chart 13.23 passed in Parliament. The Chart proposed the aperture of relations with Salanda and the recognition of its goverment. Nave was also an observer state in Grand Unified Micronational. Although the country dissolved, the new government declared that all recognitions and foreing relations are to be kept the same.
Unilateral Recognition
All United Nations member states, except 
Belgium.
Israel (Recognizing the UN-dictated border)
Palestine (Recognizing the UN-dictated border)

Geography and climate
Nave is right at the foot of the cantabrian mountain range, thus the south is mountainous and the north is flat. It is crossed by the Nora river from which some streams flow that lead to mineral water sources. It is common in Autumn and Spring for the river to overflow its banks and flood the northern lowlands.
The temperature is temperate, with warm summers and moderately cold winters. The weather is usually rainy or cloudy, even in Summer it rains a lot.
Economy
The main economic activity in Nave is cider production. There are many cider presses and apple plantations, but recently the real estate market is rising exponentially and many new houses are being built in the country. There's also a famous restaurant where weddings and communions are usually celebrated.
Traditional subsistence farming is also very well present, it's common for residents to own a garden, a few animals or a working cider press.
Currency
A currency was created by the goverment recently, the Téndri, though it has yet not been put to use of the people and the Euro is still the most used currency.
National Symbols
Flag
Coat of Arms
The current coat of arms of Nave features three symbols, the cross of victory (symbol of Asturias), the Holy Soup and the flag of Siero, the municipaly where Nave was located before independence. The colours are the exact same as in the flag.
The coat of arms was the first symbol of Nave, it was created the very same day the country declared independence. The old coat of arms was very ugly as it was drawn by a 10 year old, so it was changed in 2016 by the current one. In the first war with Saulia, the leader of the Naven army held a stick with the coat of arms on it.
The old coat of arms featured the holy soup with a strainer, symbol of the then-duke of Nave, Teleturbio Rodrieç.
Anthem
Royal Anthem
The royal anthem was the first anthem of Nave, and it was the national anthem for a long time until 2021.
The anthem is a version of "God Save the Queen", a universal monarchist anthem. Just like the National Anthem, the Royal Anthem has 3 official versions in 3 languages.
