The Union State of Konakia is a micronation in the Russian Federation founded in November 2014 by Ivan Ivanov, who came to the community five months earlier as a head of semi-virtual state called Commarenthia (existing in various forms since 2009). Despite the fact that these two projects are actually related only by the personality of the founder, Konakia traditionally claims to be a successor of Commarenthia.

History

The history of Konakian statehood has been going on since the summer of 2009, when a number of virtual "villages" were founded on the territory of one of the schools in Konakovo, Tver Oblast, Russia. These villages (considered too small to be called cities until early 2011) later formed the virtual state of Commarenthia. At the end of 2014, the founder and permanent leader of Commarenthia Ivan Ivanov (pseudonym) renamed the state to Konakia in honor of the town in which it was located; considering the previous name stupid (the word Komarindiya latinised as Commarenthia derives from its capital Komarinka (now Zimbertangart), which name can be literally translated as a place with a lot of mosquitoes.) Nevertheless, Konakia always claimed the continuity from Commarenthia. During 2015, the form of government in Konakia changed about a dozen times (from republic to monarchy and from monarchy to republic), in September of the same year the country for a short period of time became a part of another micronation called Archizealand. After the restoration of independence in November 2015 Konakia gained stability, but often fell into long periods of stagnation. The current regime called Union State of Konakia or 14th Republic was founded on 25 September 2018 according to the Reunification Act signed by rivaling governments of 13th Republic.

Politics

Government

According to the current constitution (the 8th General Charter), Konakia is a federal parliamentary republic.

The head of state in the USC is the President who is elected by parliament (State Assembly) for 4 months. President has mostly representative functions. The executive branch is the Cabinet headed by Chancellor, which includes three National Commitees (ministries): of foreign policy, security and cultural heritage. The legislative body of Konakia is the State Assembly, elected by popular vote every 4 months. At its the first meeting State Assembly usually elects a new president (in most cases, from among the MPs).

The 9th State Assembly of Konakia was elected on 12 December 2020. On the same day Sergej Bubnov was elected and sworn in as the 27th President. Vitoljd Čaban's Cabinet was approved by the Assembly on 22 October 2020. Its composition does not differ from the previous cabinets of Alexander Kuzjmin, Konstantin Tolstoj and Benedict Atojan: since 4 November 2019 Aleksej Inšakov is the head of National commitee of Foreign Policy, Benedict Atojan is holding the post of the head of Security Commitee, and the first president of Konakia Evgenij Alekseev is supervising cultural heritage.

The "eternal cabinet" and its national committees were abolished in February 2022 with their responsibilities transferred to the Crown offices of the West, East and North.

Constituent states

Konakia comprises 12 federal states, 9 of which are known as "daughter lands" and three are "sister lands". Only three of daughter lands (autonomous governorates of Dense Forests and New Commarenthia and the Republic of Baltia) have elected governors, the rest of them are monarchies. Sister lands were introduced in July 2021 by annexing three long-forgotten micronational communities once having political and cultural ties with Konakia.

Culture

Languages

There are three official languages in Konakia: Russian, Commarenthian and Margalian. Commarenthian language has developed in 2010-2011 and is actually Russian with the replacement of some Cyrillic letters with Latin ones and re-adopting some rules from pre-1918 Russian Orthography. Despite its unoriginality Commarenthian has the official status due to its role as the main part of historical Commarenthian identity. Margalian language is also can be seen as a legacy of the Commarenthian era, but its current version actually is very different from 2011-2014 linguistic experiments.
