The Republic of Aksana (Catalan: República d’Aksana, Spanish: República de Aksana, Eintrachtian: Respublik Da Aksana), or simply Aksana is a micronation located on the Antarctic Peninsula. Aksana was established on August 25 2022, but the first micronation to claim it dates to December 21 2006 with the Confederation of the Antarctica's Elain of Atilnia. Aksana functions similarly to the Grand Duchy of Westarctica or the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis as all three are based in the Antarctic continent.[4] Aksana is north of Ballistelliburg, Eintrachtia, which Aksana used to be apart of Ballistelliburg when the region was apart of the Empire of Eintracia until 2021.

Aksana’s claims are part of the disputed claims of the British Antarctic Territory, Argentine Antarctica, and the Chilean Antarctic Territory which have no land management over the land by the Antarctic Treaty System. The micronation Aksana is not supported by Pro-Spaniards who believe Catalonia is rightfully Spanish as Aksana is a Catalan-speaking micronation despite it being in the Antarctic Peninsula, and its Administrative centre in the U.S. state of Rhode Island.

Etymology

The name Aksana, is a female given name of Ukrainian origin with the version of the name Aksana meaning hospitality.[5] The self-proclaimed republic adopted the name on August 25 2022. Aksana used to be the First Republic of Aksana, later called the Second Republic of Aksana before just being renamed the Republic of Aksana again, also nicknamed the Antarctic Republic of Aksana or Catalan Republic of Aksana.

History

Historical affiliations

Early micronation history (2006-2022)

Aksana started in the Confederation of the Antarctica's Elain of Atilnia or ASEA on December 21 2006, which became part of the Antarctic Micronational Union before leaving in 2012. ASEA was inactive most of its existence before becoming disbanded, but would return in 2016 again on its founding day on the December 26.

One year after the return of ASEA, the Penguins Republic later known as the Empire of Eintracia founded on May 30 2017 by a Portuguese person named John C.K. Ballistell. Aksana’s modern land itself was mostly inactive during the time of the Empire of Eintracia which focused on expanding its borders. Eintracia reached its smallest claims in 2020 removing its claims of several territories before its initial collapse into the Kingdom of Eintrachtia, and abandoning Aksana’s land.

Absence of micronations (2021-2022)

From May 30 2021 to August 25 2022, Aksana was no longer claimed by any micronational entity, besides from Pavlov and Lostisland[6][7] which only claimed part of the land that is modern day aksana, leaving the rest of its land abandoned with the newly founded micronation Eintrachtia south of what would become Aksana.

Modern history (2022-Present)

Flag of Aksana Post-November 2022

Aksana was founded on August 25 2022 by a Rhode Islander which until November 27 2022, Aksana would remain inactive mostly. After November 27 2022, Aksana started developing a government making its own constitution, bill of rights, and rules.

On March 20 2023, Aksana made its Catalan act which wouldn’t start major changes until July of 2023. The catalan act made Aksana a Catalan micronation, but at the time of the act’s starting only had minor affects to the republic that would make the republic what it is currently.

On May 24 2023, Aksana started informal relations with the Republic of Molossia after the republic emailed Molossia.

Aksana was ran mostly on MicroWiki until June 13 2023, when the Head Administrator Andrew banned the Aksanin president from the wiki. After Aksana’s ban[d] from MicroWiki, Aksana focused on developing its presence in the world and expanding its own website which is hosted on Google Sites.[8] Aksana wanted to improve its website, after the failure in design and progress made on its old website, after having to abandon it.[9]

On July 30 2023, Aksana made the La Unió d'Estats Catalans[e] for any other Catalan micronations to be united to work together in Cooperation. La Unió d'Estats Catalans supports Catalan independence movements whether it is micronational or real, such as the Catalan Republic in 2017.

Between August 5 2023 and August 24 2023, the Aksanin president visited Barcelona, Catalonia and Valencian Community city of Valencia. While the president was in Catalonia, Aksana recognized two Catalan micronations Todia[10] and South Bages[11] independence and Basque independence after the first lady of Aksana’s friend reveled she supported Basque independence sending that information to the Aksanin president on August 9 2023. Aksana loosened up its foreign relations polices for other micfonations after these events, but policies planned to be dropped soon.[12]

On August 27 2023, Aksana had released Article 49 which modified the constitution making Aksana a unitary government with Autonomous communities similar to Spain, and disbanding of the states.[13] On August 30 2023, Aksana had its senate renamed to the parliament of Aksana and gave the parliament its own logo different from the normal governmental logos of Aksana such as the community Generalitats[f] logo, which is now only used by the communities alone, and not together in the parliament. On March 19 2023, the Republic of Aksana dropped its proposal ISO code of AK, and replaced it with the code NN, as the code AK can also be confused for the definition AK for AK-47, a type of gun, while NN cannot be confused as easily.

Pre & Post-Founding of the Terrassa Union

Flag of Terrassa

On March 10 2024, Aksana was given the Autonomous State of Novaskye from the Republic of Averna, making it become the Free State of Skyelin-Foix, which later resulted on the forming of a new governing body on March 11 2024. The Republic of Aksana founded the Free Commonwealth of Terrassa, a union for states outside of the antarctic continent still united as if they were directly under the republic. At its founding, it founded with five territories under it, two of which are autonomous, and the other three under direct rule.

Later on March 21, the union was given its own flag, with the blue equilateral triangle turned white, and the star turned blue, with text in a circle surrounding star saying "Free Commonwealth of Terrassa - Territorial Union of Aksana" in Catalan.[g] The union does not have its own coat of arms, and the flag is not be used as an alternative to the Aksanin flag.

Government and Politics

Foreign relations

Maps of Aksana
World Map of Aksana
Map of Antarctica with Aksana in red

The foreign relations of Aksana are limited as a lot of micronations have the majority of their land in the African Continent, Europe, Asia, and North and South America which Aksana recognizes very few micronations from these continents as according to Aksana "A micronation that cannot control its land within a legitimate nation, which if it cannot it is not a actual nation and does not deserve the title of a nation" which with this Aksana also doesn't recognize online or Simulationist micronations. Aksana has no relations with any macronations and is internationally recognized as part of the Antarctic continent because of the Antarctic Treaty System. Aksana's map of the world is notable for being different than a lot of micronations because it's world map is different[14] but Aksana's map overtime is becoming more normal to the international map.

Alliances

Informal relationship

  •  Molossia is recognized because of when it was founded and how stable it is, and that it controls its land. Informal relationships between Molossia and Aksana started after the Republic of Aksana emailed the foreign ministry of Molossia.

Unilateral recognition

Other Relations

  •  Argentina is recognized with all its land except its antarctic claims as its antarctic claims claim Aksana and Eintrachtia.
  •  Chile is recognized with all its land except its antarctic territories because it claims the same territory almost the same as Argentina making it claim Aksana and Eintrachtia.
  • Confederation of the Antarctica's Elain of Atilnia is not recognized because of its giant claims, and its claims on Aksana.
  •  China is recognized as apart of the ROC, Manchukuo, and Tibet.
  •  Palestine is recognized with the west bank, but not Gaza as Hamas has controlled Gaza since 2007.
  •  Israel is recognized without palestinian land.

Claims

Aksana is located in the Antarctic Peninsula divided into twenty-one regions, and 3 autonomous communities similar to spanish autonomous communities.[17] Aksana claims the majority of the Antarctic Peninsula with 343795.022 km2 area of land claimed, including antarctic ice sheets. Aksana also claims the South Shetland Islands and the South Orkney Islands as unincorporated territories similar to the Territories of the United States. Aksana has claimed its current land since August 25 2022 not changing its borders, it has only added more unincorporated territories since its founding. Aksana made its first expansion on February 18 2023, and the final being on March 6 2023.

Most of Aksana’s claims are filled with high peaks[18] or islands such as Adelaide Island, and other small unnamed islands. From simulations, simulations show that when the icecaps melt, most of Aksana’s land will still exist because of its high peaks.[19]
